CHAPTER XIII
TO AWAIT CONFIRMATION.
J UE day appoint
ed for P .cy's
trial was a week
after ho left New
York. During
this period Ids
mother and sister
and Judge Ko-
telle were the on
ly persona who
knew of his es-
onpe. On the
morning of the
trial the judge
dropped into In
spector Byrnes’
office, with a uews|iaper in his hand and
a very grave face.
“I want to call sotuelhin;; to your rec
ollection. inspector." said ho; ’•some
thing of importance to me. though you
may have forgotten it."
‘•Oh. you mean young Percy Nolen's
ease, don't your" returned the chief of
detectives. “I remember; ho was ac
cused of a robbery in u jewelry store and
you went bail for bim in fifteen hundred
dollars. Yes, the trial comes on today.''
“You have a good memory. Well,
you are perhaps not aware that Percy
left New York on tho day following tho
examination and never returned.”
“Yes, judge, I happen to be aware of
that, too! You see, we anticipated there
might be some difficulty of the kind, and
so we put a man on to watch him. Mr.
Nolen spent that night nt Mr. Martin s
rooms on Fifth avenue. Tho next morn
ing, some one whom our man took to be
Martin walked out and went up town.
An hour or two later, Martin himself
came out. Instead of following him our
man made tho mistake of going up stairs
to see whether Nolen was in tho rooms.
In that way they both got off. Wo did
everything in our power to stop them,
but it was too late. I sincerely hoped he
would think better of it, and come back.
I am sorry for you, but there it is!”
“As regards myself, I’m not n loser. I
don't mind telling you that, a few hours
after his escape, I received by letter tho
amount of the bail; it came, I have rea
son to believe, from Martin. All Percy’s
outstanding bills were also paid, proba
bly by tho same hand. Of course, Percy
shoul I have stood Ids trial, and liad I bad
any inkling of what he intended 1 should
have used every means to prevent his de
parture. But at any rate he left no debts
behind him.”
“He made the mistake of his life,”
said tho inspector, emphatically. “As
the reason why will bo known in a few
hours, I may as well tell you now. In
the first place the evidence against bim
was not conclusive, and, taking every-
thing into consideration, the chances arc
tliat he would have been acquitted. His
looks and manner and his previous rec
ord and social standing were in his
favor, though it Is true that he had been
making a fool of himself here and there,
as boys sometimes will. But a fellow
like that is not likely to steal a lady’s
pocket book in face of the absolute cer
tainty of being suspected of it. The
game wasn’t worth the candle.”
“I quite agree with you," replied the
judge; “still there was a possibility that
the verdict might go against him; and
you can understand that a conviction
would be as good os death to him.”
“Even then, if wo were innocent, the
guilty party would be sure to turn up
sooner or later and he would be vindi
cated. I could make a guess, even now,
as to who the thief really is; but bo has
not committed himself yet, and as Uie
money stolen was in bank notes of course
It is more difficult to trace than jewels
or any kind of personal property would
be. But tbat is not the point I was going
to make. If ho ha^ appeared in court
today ho would have been a free man
ever after.”
“How can you know that?”
“In Uds way. You have heard all
about that affair of his with the wife of
tho plaintiff. No actual harm hod been
done, but she was compromised and her
husband had heard of it; they had had
some words about it probably; and when
be found Nolen in such an awkward pre
dicament, he naturally was not going to
lose the opportunity of jumping on Idm.
So ho pressed the charge, as we saw.
But his wife did what he had not antici
pated—she joined him In the accusation,
and thereby ranged herself definitely on
his side. Of course that took the wind
out of his sails; it proved that she hated
Percy as much as he did, and therefore
removed his own chief reason for hating
him.”
“I understand; but”
“Very well Having no longer any
especial reason for revenging himself
upon Percy, and probably not believing,
on sober second thought, that he had
committed the crime, he would begin to
ask himself how the public trial would
affect Ids wife and himself. And the
first thing ho would see would be that it
would involve letting out the whole
story of the flirtation. Now, If his wife
had persisted in her folly, instead of act
ing the part of a virtuous our, as she did,
he might hare been willing to havs her
shown up; but as It was, he would desire
to hush it up as securely as possible.
There was only one way to do that, and
that was"
"Ah! 1 see. Tho plaintiff would de
cline to prosecute?"
“Exactly, and that (as I have the best
reason for knowing) is just what he lias
done. His counsel are instructed to
withdraw the charge; and of course,
under the circumstances, tne judge
would allow him to do so. But when
they see that the prisoner is not on hand,
it may cause them to modify this course.
They might profess themselves ready to
go on with the case, and as tho prisoner
is absent judgment would issue against
him."
“It is that result that I hoped to avoid.
It would be a sad thing for an honorable
fanilv to ftrmxrfmri Umvioli IK* *tn^ti—
face his accusers." repeated the ins pee
tor. “No one knows better than >ou.
judge, that in this world a man must de
fend himself. Ho cannot expect other
people to find excuses for him. But. as
I say, ho may live It down; he is a young
fellow yet, and”
“Have you seen this morning's paper?"
interposed the judge.
“I have looked through It. Is there
anything particular?"
Tho judge held out tho paper, with his
finger on a certain paragraph. Tho in-
pector took it and read as follows:
“A terrible hurricane is reported as
having occurred in tho neighborhood of
St. Thomas, W. I, on tho 18th ult. It
is described os the severest ever known
in those latitudes. It was preceded In
tho morning by a dead calm and exces
sive heat. Early in the afternoon
weatherwiso persons predicted a heavy
bio"’. The prophecy was soon verified.
“Clouds were observed collecting in the
southwest; they rapidly increasd in size
and darkness, and advanced toward the
northeast, from which quarter a gentle
breeze was blowing, ~
with terrific fury. Tho liarbor of St
Thomas is a large basin, tho entrance to
which is a comparatively narrow pas
sage between two headlands. The har-
bor was at the time filled with shipping.

A POWERFUL ALLY.

informed that a
lady desired to see
him. He gave
orders tliat she be

ness, as if endeavoring to satisfy herself
what manner of man he was.
“Can I be of any assistance to you,
madam?” the detective inquired.

with the sidewalk. It was a winter
night, but there was no snow- on the
ground.
“It was not quite 1 o’clock In Uie morn
ing when they left the restaurant to
gether. At 2 o'clock the policeman whose
beat was on that part of Twonty-tliird
street saw some one lying in the porch
of the boarding house. Ho examined
and found that ho was hi evening dress,
with an overcoat on; he was insensible
and his pockets were empty. There did
not seem to ho any mark of violence on
liim. *Tho policeman thought ho was in
sensible from drink. He knocked up
the people in tho house, and when ho
found that my brother lived there helped
to take him up to his room. But there
was a physician living in tho house, and
of the town were unroofed and in most
cases annihilated. Upwards of four
hundred lives were reported lost, and
tho liarbor was full of corpses, which
were devoured by the sharks. One of
tho most remarkable episodes of this dis
astrous storm was tliat of the U. S. and
B. Co.’s steamship Amazon. Sho was
due at St Thomas on tho day after that
on which tho hurricane occurred. She
had cleared from New York with six
passengers and a full cargo. Sho had
fair weather up to within two hundred
miles of St Thomas, and was some-
wliat ahead of her schedule time. Ac
cording to tho narration of tho surviv
ors, she met the huiricane about ? o’clock
on tho afternoon of the 18th. She was
put about so as to run before tho gale.
The wind and waves almost Immediately
dismasted her, and it was found Impos

wind, even this taxing all tho powers of
“I’m afraid you will find it no easy
matter. Miss Nolen. Speaking us a pro
fessional man, I must say that the pros
pect is not a hopeful one."
“I don’t expect it to ho easy; but 1 am
determined to succeed, and 1 mean to
give all my life and energy to it,” said
she, in the same quiet tone which she
had used from the first, but with im
mense underlying earnestness. “Of
tourse, I know nothing about tlio ways
of finding out criminals, aud I don't
think that, in an ordinary matter, I
should make a good detective; but this is
a thing I care so much about that it's
different. I believo that if tho man who
stole tiiat money was to pass me on the
street I should feel that it was he.”
The inspector dropped his pencil and
stooped to pick it up. Tho notion of
identifying criminals by emotional intu
ition was not without its humorous side;
but ho did not wish his smile to l>o seen;
those on board. At one time she was aml . l) y Ul0 timo ho had recovered Ills

nize him in that way, Miss Nolen,” ho
remarked, “there would be no evidence
in tliat to fasten the crime upon him.
Tho jury might think you wero mis
taken, and would refuso to convict; in
fact, I don’t think you could persuade
any judge on the bench to grant you a
warrant.”
“I wasn’t thinking of putting it on
that ground.” Pauline replied, coloring a
little. “But when I have convinced my
self that I know the man, I would find
evidence against him that would con
vince the world too. Only let mo know
him first, and the rest would be easy.”
“Well, all I can say is, I hope you’ll
find him."
"I should not have come here to waste
your time merely by telling you this,”
•he continued, looking up at him firmly.
“I wish to’ tell you something that may
indicate who he is, and then you will bo
able, pethaps, to help mo find out where
he is and what his record is. I don’t
suppose you know that Percy was not
my only brother?"
The detective intimated that he did

“My other brother's name was Jerrold.
He died a few years ago. They had rea
son to think that his death was hastened
by foul means. The man whom he ac
cused of it was tried; the case was ap
pealed several times, but at last, after
having been confined for over a year, the
accused was acquitted. He said that ho
would be revenged upon us. Why may
he not have taken this way to be re
venged?"
Tho inspector began to be interested.
“What was his name?” lie asked.
"His name was Horace Dupee. He
was a medical student.”
“Tell rae the circumstances. I may
recollect something of it.”
“When my brother Jerrold left college
he decided to be a physician, and he be
gan the study of medicine here in New
York. lie attended lectures and went to
tho hospitals. He was fond of fun and a
favorite with his fellow students, and I
suppose he was rather imprudent in his
habits. He was good natured and excit
able and the others led him on.
“The way the end came was this;
There was a supper given to one of the
students who had got through his course.
He was the Horace Dupee I spoke of.
He was a clover man, I believe. I never
saw him, and he and Jerrold wero great
There were ten or twelve o- hcr
young men at the supper. They drank
a good deal of wine and became noisy
and excited. They began to play practi
cal jokes on one another. At last Hor
ace Dupco got up to make a speech. My
brother, who sat near him, kept inter-
rupthig him with jokes and laughing.
He got angry finally—Dupee did—and
made some threat or said some insulting
thing. My brother instantly threw a
glass of wine in his face, glass and all.
“Dupee rushed at him and struck him
with his fist. They began to fight; but
my brother was the stronger, and ho
struck Dupee in the face, so that ho fell
over a chair. Then tho others separated
them; and my brother, after a moment,
forgot his anger, and wanted to make
friends with Dupee again, but Dupee
would not for a while, but tho others
urged him, until at last he laughed and
came and shook hands with my brother,
and pretended that ho was quite recon
ciled; but he said afterwards to one of
the young men tbat ho ‘would bo even
with Nolen yet.’
“’Hiey had been on tho point of break-

“When the wind veered about tho

pected that she must founder. But after
several hours she was suddenly beached;
and on tho storm breaking it was dis
covered that sho was lying in the main
street of St. Thomas, close to tier own
dock. In the darkness sho must have
been driven through tho narrow entrance
of the harbor, and so across to Uie town,
avoiding by a miracle numbeness ob

Her eyes darkened aud her cheeks
flushed as sho put the question. The in
spector, though ho could not but per
ceive tliat the chances were against the
correctness of her theory, was touched
by her earnestness.
“In what way would you ex|iect mo
to assist you?” he inquired.
“You can communicate with the po
lice in all parts of the country,” she an
swered, “and you know, or can find out,
the history of all the criminals who have
been arrested in New York and in many
other places. What 1 ask you to do is to
trace the record of Horace Dupee from
the timo ho left the jail on the termina
tion of his trial till now. Find out his
associates, aud make them give evidence
against him; learn what his aliases have
been, and whether ho was not in New
Y’ork on the day that Mrs. Tunstall lost
her money. If ho was—and I am sure
it will turn out so—it will be found that
he had money to spend soon afterwards,
and perhaps somo one of tho bank notes
can ho traced to him. Oh!” sho ex
claimed, lifting ono hand with an irre
pressible gesture, “if I can see him stand
before mo in tho prisoner’s dock, I shall
have lived long enough!"
“Upon my word, Miss Nolen,” re
marked tho inspector with a smile, "I
wouldn't envy the man who had done
you an injury, bo ho who ho may; and
if this follow Dupco, or any ono else, has
been guilty of the crimes you charge him
that period; but, says Mr. David Kerr,
an equally creditable performance has
been furnished by our own age.
Just at the time when vague reports
wero beginning to creep abroad tiiat
Germany was meditating fresh extension
of her frontier at the expense of Holland
a Dutch official of high rank happened
to be visiting the court of Berlin, where
he was handsomely entertained. Among
Other spectacles got up to amusa him a «. The Q re at Bank Robbery,”
review was organ ized at Potsdam. ^ ’
“What does your excellency thing of
our soldiers?” asked Prince Bismarck, as Copyrighted by O. M. Dunham, and
one of the regiments came marching past
in admirable order.
“They look as if they knew how to
fight,” replied the visitor, gravely, “but
they are not quite tall enough.”
The prince looked rather surprised at i
this disparaging criticism. He made no I
answer, however, and several other regi-
ments filed past in succession; but the
Dutchman's verdict upon each and all
was still the some; “Not tell enough.”
At length the grenadiers of the guard
made their appearance—a magnificent
body of veterans, big and stalwart
enough to have satisfied even the giant
loving father of Frederick the Great; but
the inexorable critic merely said, “Fine
soldiers, but not tall enough.”
Then Prince Bismarck fairly lost pa- i
tience, and rejoined, somewhat sharply, |
“These grenadiers are tho finest men in
our whole army; may I ask what your
j excellency is pleased to mean by saying
| that they are not tall enough?”
The Dutchman looked him full in the
! face, and replied with significcnt empha-
i sis, “I mean that we can flood our coun
try twelve feet deep.”—London Tid Bits.
