Tlieonly iiililitioiuil iuforuiution I Hucewdctl in eliciting from thu professor was thut Jeancs liml visited tho shop h month or ho ugo and hud arranged that uny li tiers wnt there, forliim should he kept till lie. ciiino for them. IIo huel left hulf n sovereign on aeconut and hud culled four times, receiving throo lei tern, in cluding thut which bud been handed to him by the professor. As for thut pmciouN ruscul, I need Ncurculy say thut I placed no reliance whatever upon what lie said, and hud seriously coiiHidereil whether tho story of his giving Jciines tho letter on tho htairH und then Mhutlowing his ciiKtoiiier to tho hotel might not ho on entire fab rication. I did not for u moment helievo that be knew who J runes really vua, for hi'd ha dono so ho would, I felt sure, huvn lost no time in securing tho re wurd hy bunding tho fugitive over to! tho police. Bat I quite recognized tho possibility of bin being iu Jeuueg' pay, olid bad seriously asked myself whether the statement thut Jcuiits would not bo buviug uuy moro letters addressed to tho shop und would not bo visiting Stunby again might not bo u rnso to get mo out of tho way. lint thut tho professor's surprise nud dismay when bo found Jeaues gono from the hotel were genuine no one who hud witnessed them could huve doubted, und us tbe circumstances generally tended to con firm bis story I was forced to tho con elusion thut he hud, in this instance ut all events, told the truth. In that cane I should bo wasting timo by remaining longer ut Stunby. So after arranging with tho professor that if Jcancs culled agnin, or if uuy other let ters urrived for him, tho word "news" should ut once bo telegraphed to an ad dress which I guvo I packed my bug aud caught the next-train to town. Mullen bud called "check" at Stunby, it is true, but I was not without unother move, by menus of which 1 hoped even tually to "mute" him, und what thut move wus the reader who remembers tbe coutents of tbe intercepted letters will readily surmise. In oue of those letters tho person to whom it was addressed was told that the steam yacht by means of which ho wus to escape would bo lying just off the boiitbuildcr's yard, wbero the lit tle yacht was laid up. Any one who did not know from whom the letter was or tinder what circumstances it had been written would not bo any the wiser for this piece of information. But to one who knew, as I did, thut tho writer was the wife of Mr. Stanley Burgoyuo, it would not bo a difficult thing to ascertain the name of any small yacht of which that gentleman was tbe owner and the place where it was likely to be laid up. Whether Mullen .intended to abandon or to carry out tho plan ho had formed for making his eseupo by tho help of his sister I had no means of knowing. If bo suspected that his letters bad been in tercepted, he was tolerably sure to ubamloii the arrangement, or at all events to change the scene of operations. But if he was unaware of the fact that I had taken up tho thread which poor Ureeu bad dropped, it was possiblo that he might assume his secret to be safe now Green was satisfactorily disposed of, aud might carry out his original plan, in which event he would walk of his own accord into the trap which I was preparing for him. Iu any case I should be doing right in making in quiries about Mr. aud Mrs. Stanley Burgoyne aud their yacht, und with this end in view I purchased a copy of the current Yachting Registur. Turning to tho letter B in tho list of owners, I found thut Mr. Stanley Scott Burgoyoiylub was the Royal Loudon, and that had two bouts, oue a big steam yacht -galled tho Fiona and the other a little five tonner named the Odd Trick. It was 110 doubt iu tho former thut Mr. and Mrs. Burgoyno bud gone to Norway and by means of which Mullen was to fly tho country, and it Wus probably to the latter that Mrs. Burgoyno had referred iu her lotter. No oue can bo led to tulk "shop" more readily than your enthusiastic yachtsman, and it did not require much diplomacy on my part to ascertain by means of a visit to the Royal London clubhouse iu Savile row iu company with a member that Mr. Bnrgoyue's little cruiser was laid up at Gravesend, iu charge of a man named Guuiicll. Him I accordingly visited, under the pretext pf wanting to buy a yucht, and ufter some conversation I remarked casually: "By the bye, I think you havo my friend Mr. Stanley Burgoyne's live tonner, the Odd Trick, laid up here, haven't yon?" "I did have, sir," was tho reply, "but Mr. Burgoyne he telegraphed that I was to let his brotber-iu-law, Mr. Cress, have the boat out That there's the telegram wot yon see slipped iu be hind tbe olm'nack." For tbe second time in the course of this curious enterprise tbe iuformation I was in need of seemed to conie in search of me instead of my having to go in search of it. I had felt when I started out to pursue my inquiries about Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Burgoyne by in terviewing the waterman Gunnell that it was qnite possible I might learn something pf importance, but I bad not expected to strike tbe trail redhot id so apon, for Pros, as the reader ra7 perhaps remember, wna the name by which Mullen was known to his family.

"Ah, yes," I said ut length, straight ninu myself and beiidinu forward in doleiilly to look ut the tclcgrum, which I rend aloud. "To (jiiunell, (irave.-i; nd: "Get Odd Trick ready unit ufloat Mr. Cross will come for her. "Bl'KllOYNK. "Windsor Hotel, iVarboruugli. " "Of course," I went on, "I had quite forgotten Mr. Cross telling me, when I aw liiiu lust, that he wus going to ask his brother-in-law to lend him tho Odd Trick for n cruise. Whom has he got on board?" "No one, sir. Mr. Crois wus sailing her himself ; said ho was only going us fur us Sheerness, w here I n expected u friend to join lnui who would help him to bundle her. "He's u good suilor, isn't he?" No, sir, that's just what lie isn't, und that's why I wanted biui to let me go With him until tin frit nil turned up mm) tl Iff "Ji, yes," I xat'l. But, bless yon, sir, ho got that huffy thero wasn't no holding him. And him a very ple.asunt mannered gi ntleiuali in the usual way, und free with his money too. Our conversation wus interrupted ut this point by the entrance of unother waterman with tho key of the shed where a boat that was for salo was laid up. Tho craft in question was a pretty littlo cutter named tho Pastime, and I ;if course ma le a great pretense of in specting her narrowly and was careful to put the usual questions about her draft, breadth of beam, findings end tho like which would he expected from any liiteuding purchaser. "Isn't she rutin r like the Odd Tiick?" I said casually, being desirous of get- Hiif! a description of that vessel without ippeuring to he unduly inquisitive "Lord bless von no, sir!" answered he holiest Gnnncll. "She's about the nine size right enough, but the Pastime is otiMi r riggtd und the O ld Trick's a awl. Besides, tho Pastime is painted ho: ohito and the Odd .licked out gold. " This was just the i quired. Ho ufter ti l!i would let him know 1 h;;d seen (mother i.oTt 'lie murki-t I slij: eil I into bis hand, ; s "c n for tailing up 1: is lime intention of lit coming ; 'i l irk is white formation I re Cuimell that I ' (fei i.-ion when .

The circumstances muy so vury us to cuuse the features of thu crime to have a different aspect from the teuture of uuy previous crime, but the methods pursued aro generally tho sauie. The criminal clusses uro ulmost iu vuriuhly creatures of habit The fact that u certain method be it adopted for the purpose of committing a crime, concealing uetiine, or of effecting the criminal's escuiK bus proved successful in the )i.it is to them thu strongest pos lble rt'uvoii for aguui adopting the same method. Tiiey associate thut meth od iu their thoughts with what tbey cull their luck, and shrink 'from having to depart from it. Hence tho detective psychologist should be qurck to get whut I muy with no sinister meaning in regard to ufter cveuts bo allowed to cull the "hung" of the eiiminul's mind und to discover the methods which, though vuryiug circumstances may necessitate their being worked out iu varying wuys, ureconiiiiou to most of bis crimes. The detective who can do this bus bis uutagonist at u disadvantage. He is like the hunter who knows thut the haro will double, or that this or thut quurry will try to set the hounds ut fault und seek to destroy thu scent by taking to the water. And just us tho hunter's ac quaintance wiih the tricks of the quurry assists him to anticipate and to forestall the poor beast's efforts to esouie, so the detective who has taken u criminal's meusure und discovered tho methods upon which ho works can often turn the very means which ure intended to effect an ircapn into means to effect u capture. I need not point out to the observant reader that Mullen's one anxiety iu all his movements was to cover up bis truces. Ho could bo daring und even reckless ut times us witness this fact of his having gone away in a boat which should his connection with Mrs. Bur goyne leak out, would, us Ihuveulroudy suid, be the very first object of inquiry. It would seem, in fact, us if, so long us he had satisfied himself that he had left no "spoor behind, ho pretorreu adopt ing a bold course to a timid one, as, for instance, when ho openly proclaimed the murdor of Green to he tho handiwork of Captain Shannon by leaving a declu rut ion to that effect folded up in u bottle which was attached to tho body. llow he had accomplished thut par ticular crime I did not know, but I had the lest of reasons for knowing that he bud left no sign of himself be hind. Carefulness in covering up his truces was indeed tho key word to his criminal code, and perhaps wus tho so cret of tho success with which ho hud hitherto curried out his designs. Given uny fresh move on his purt, and some cunning scheme for obliterating tho trail he had left behind might be looked for surely and inevitably I had more by luck than by subtlety truced Mullen to tho boutyurd ut Gravesend, but thero I lost sight of him completely. Ho had taken the Odd Trick away with him the same evening, I wus told, and had gono down tho river, but whut bad become of him afterward there was net the slightest evidence to show. To go down tho river iu search of him seemed tho natural and only course, but 1 was beginning bv tins time to git soniu insight into my ad versary's methods, and felt that before uskiug myself, "Where has Mullen gone?" I should seriously consider the question, "What method bus he udoptnd for covering up his traces?" felt that to go in search of the Odd Trick before I bud sutislled myself thai nothing uf tho sort hud incurred would bu to start on a fool's irruud, and I tie oided at last to hire a smuli bulling beat from u watermuu und to sail dowu the river as Mullen bad done and then to beat buck pust Graveseud and toward London. This 1 did, working the river thor onghly and systematically and missing no boutyurd or other likely place for ef fecting such a purpose as thut with which I credited Mullen. It was a weari some tusk, for the inquiries hud to be made with tuct und caution, and it wus not until I hud Touched Krith thut I learned anything which promised to re lay me for my pains. There I was told that ji small vioht hud recently vut irV1 a certifm bout bin biers yard for repairs. but what these repairs had been my in formunt could not tell inc. The yurd in quest ion wus higher up the river, and thither I betook myself to pursue my inquiries. The mini in churge was not a promising subject aud doggedly denied having executed uny such job as that indicated. Mulleu if it were he had no doubt paid him, and paid him well, to hold his tongue, and I thought none tho worse of the fellow for being faithful to bis promise, especially as I was able to obtain elsewhere the information I needed. The boat which had put into the yard for repairs hud come by night and had left by uight, bnt every water side place has its loungers, and tho less legitimate work your hubituul lounger does himself the more incumbent upon him docs bo feel it to superintend in person tho work which is being done by other people. From some of the loungers who hud witnessed the urrival of the bout which hud been put iu for repnirs I had no difficulty in ascertaining that her hulk was painted white when she entered the yurd aud chocolate brown when she left and that the time of her arrival coin cided exactly with the date upon which tho Odd Trick hud left Gruvcseiid. Nor wus this all, for two different men who bud seen her come iu and afterward hud watched her go out Were ubsolutelv sure that, though she went out u cutter, she came iu a raw I. This was tin im portunt difference and would so alter the appeurunce of the bout thut the very skipper who bud been sailing her might well huve been pardoned for not know lug bis own craft. I hud pluyed my cards sometimes wisely, but more often foolishly, while conducting my seurch forCuptain Shun nou, but tho wisest and the luckiest deul I mado throughout the business was my determination to spun; no pains iu ascertaining whut step the fugitive hud taken to cover up his trucks before I set out to look for a five ton yawl, painted white, picked out with gold and bearing the nume of tho Odd Trick. But for that detcrminutioii und tin discoveries which resulted from it I should in all probability have passed unnoticed the little brown cutter that I saw lying ut anchor to tho west Southend as I. passed by in "'e small Racket Store News, 30 South Main Street .Asheville.

These inquiries I need not here enter upon iu detail, tut I may mention that I was uble by a little diplomacy to get a photograph of the original draft (it is not generally known that tho first drafts of telegrams are n tained for a considerable time by the postal authori ties), and so becamo possessed of a piece of evideuce which might one day prove valuable a specimen of what was in all probability Mullen's own handwriting. But as a matter of fact I hud good cause, qnito opart from tho inquiries which I instituted at Scarborough, to feel satisfied that the telegram had been sent by Mullen, or by his instigation. aud not bT Burgoyne, as I knew by the date of tho litter which Mrs. Bnrgoyne had sent to Mullen the letter which I bad intercepted tbat her busbuud was in Bergen otKtfi tlm verv duv on. which OHAPTEit XXII. THE AHTKl l.NKS.Sl tK .IAMK.S MU.Mttt, "What method has Mullen adopted for covering up his truces?" I asked my self, and as 1 did so a passage from tho letter which had been sent to him by Mrs. Burgoyni the letter which I had fortunately intercepted flashed into my mind. 'I do not see any necessity," she had written, "for doing as you say m regard to sending the present crew back to England under the pretense that we are not likely to bo using the yacht for some time, and then, after getting the ship's appearance altered by repainting anil rechri.stening her the name you mention, engaging another crew of Norwegians.' If Mullen hud considered it necessary to take such precautions in regard to the steam yacht, he would, beyond ull ques tion, consider it even more necessary to his safety that a similar course should bo adopted in regard to tho bout which, until opportunity came for him to leuvo the country, wus to curry "Cu-sur und his-fortunes. " That boat hud been do scribed to me by Gunnell us a five ton yawl, painted white, picked out with gold, fcihe had by now, no doubt, been entirely metamorphosed, and before I set out to continue mv search for Mul len it was of vital importance that I should know something of tho appear ance of the boat for which I was to look. According to the wutermun Gun nell, Mullen had gono down the river when he left Gravesend thut evening, und indeed it was iu the highest degree unlikely that he had gone up the rivet toward Loudon in u small sailing vessel. Every mile traversed in that direction would render his movements more crumped and moro likely to como under observation, whereas down the river meant the open sea, with access to tho eutiro seaboard of the country, and, if necessary, of the continent. But should the authorities by uny chance discover Mullen s connection with the Burgoynes and learn in the aqprse of their subsequent inquiries thut hC hud gone down tbe river m a live ton yawl, painted white, belonging to Mr. Burgoyno, it would in all probability be down tho riv r that they would go in arch of a boat answering to that de scription. .Mullen was nor tue man to onlit tins view of the case from bis cal culations, and, knowing us I did the methodical wuy iu which he always set to work to cover up his truces ufter ev ery move, I felt ubsoiutely sure thut bo hud taken some prtcautiou for setting possible pursuers upon the wrong tuck. Tho v--ry fact that be bail fold imn- nell bo was to cull for a friend ut .Sheer ueas aud hud started off in that direction made mo suspicious.
