" If these confessions were to be trusted the dragoon and . his family seemed exculpated from any actual parti-fixation in the robbery. Still, mere were circumstaj&ces which these confessions diduiot clear up; som engrave points of doubt remained . unexplained. That they carpt'Btei had himself pledged the sil ver plate with the wood merchant, without having re ceived it fiom Nicholas, was now likely enough; he baJ accused him, probably, only to screen himself. But how came Nicholas' f baa lkeu chief t b JoAndJjy the.si.le .of the i heigiii - tioff camri ike excise reeeipt,whieh i bei jiigio him to b3 used as a match by the tiiieves y Tne carpenter and his coror.idesde clared that as to liiese tacts, they knew noth ing; and .asiaey had no inducement to con ceal the truth, ihere could be r.o reason ble .doubt that their statement migut, in these particulars, be depended, upon, f lie suspicionagain arose that other accom plices must be concerned in the affair; an 1 the subject of "the letter .from the '-corporal who had deserted, Jecame anew the subject of attention. If not written by himself, it miht har been written bv another at his su iWsfton. and in ue wav or other it nwhl the noted case of the robbery. 'The letter of the corporal ha Jalready got in circulation in the neighbor hood,a.nd whs plainly the one which his pupil had been employed to copy. . The schooimasier, at his.owu hand set on foot a small preliminary inquiry. He hastened to the inn-keeper of the village inn, and t asked hi rail he could fecollect the stranger . who ; some days before had ordered a private roo n and bottle of wine, and who had . been for some time shut up with the deaf and dumb lad. iTbe host remembered the circumstance, but did not know th man, v His wife, however, recollecie.ri that she- had seen him talking on terms pf cordial fa milHirity withjhe corn mil ler, Overblink. as he was resting at the ina wrih his cans. rh schoolmaster repaired on the spoi to Ovejbfink, inquired who was; the man. with whom. he bai conversed and sha ken hands some daystbfore at the. inn ; and the miller, without much hesitation, aoswered, thai he retrreinbered the day.lhe circumsitace, and Urn man, very well : and that the latter wa3 hisold acquaintance, the baker, ti from the town The schoolmastar , hasteiied to lay these particulars before the authorities. How, then, was the well-known baker. H , implicated in this aflfair. which iseem ed gradually to be expanding itself so strange ly i ; 1 he facts as to the robbery ltsell seemed exhausted by the confessions ot th carpenter and his associates. . They alone had broken into the house thev alone had carried, ,ort and appropriated thesto en articles. And yet, if the baker was entirely unconnected with the matter, what could be his motive for mix ing himself up with the transaction, and wn ting letters, as to avert suspicion lrom those who had been hrst accused Was his mo tive simply compassion ? 1 Was he aware o the real circumstances of the crime, and its true neroetratois ? Did he know that th Blue Dragoon was innocent? But if so, why employ this mysterious and - circuitous mode of assisting , him f - Why resort to this anx ious precaution of employing a deaf and dumb lad as his amanuensis f Why sucn signs o restlessness and apprehension such anxious iniunctions "of , silence 7 Plainly the baker was not entirely innocent : this was the con viction left on the minds of. the judges for tit was now recollected that this baker was the same person who on the morning when the' robbe -y-was detected, had contrived to make his way. into the bouse along with the officers of justice. It was he who had lifted from the ground the match containing the half burnt receipt. and handed it to ihe offices s present. His excessive zeal bad even attracted atten tion before. Had he, then, broken into the house independently of he earpenter? Had he, too, committed a robbery-an l was he agitated by the fear,ofns defection But ail the st Jen articles had been recovered, and all of them had been found with the carpenter.

In the village where he resi d ed , the re was a deaf an dumb young man, named Henry Hecluing, who had been sent by the parish to the schoolmaster for board and education.

A long and -ekcumstantiaj cnafeision was the result, to the particulars of which we shall immediately advert. From hie disclo sures, a warrant was also issaed for the . ap nrehension of the spinner, Leendert Van N , and his wife the same who ha af first circulated the reports and suspicions, acrainst'the dragoon : and who had afterwards nven such plausible, and, as it appeared, such frank and i.nct re information him before the cout.
