Pauline, who had been sitting in a i listless and pensive posture, instantly brightened up and expectation sparkled in her eyes. “Yes, 1 remember! Have you thought who it is?" “It occurred to mo last night, or early this morning, while I was lying awake. The name ho gave yesterday evening— John—something" “John Crush. ” "John Crush—yes; that was not the name of the person I am thinking of. I don't mean to imply that his namo may not have been John Gnuh. But lie cer- , tainly iiears a remarkable resemblance to another man whom you, I think, never saw, but whose name will be famil iar to you.” “AVho? tell mo!" The judge was a little surprised at her impatience. “Mind you, it’sonly a fancy of mine,” lie said. “Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it; but it had sucli an odd relation to a matter very near to you. Of course, however, it is impossi ble that tho person who was hero last night can bo the man I refer to.” “But who is it?” “Ho reminded mo of Horace Dupec," said tho judge. "Of course you know whom I mean. I was not personally en gaged in tho trial, but I dropped into tho court ono day, and watched the pro ceedings for half on hour. That was the only occasion on which 1 ever saw Du- peo. He was a striking looking fellow, and I retained an unusually distinct memory of his features. This man Crush looks a good deal older than Dupeo did —though, to bo sure; it was several years ago.” "Will you have some more coffee, dear?" asked Pauline. “No more, thank you. I'll go and smoko a cigar, and then— How is your mother feeling this morning?” “About tho same. I havo an idea it might lx 1 good for her to get up to break fast In tho mornings. I think sheoould, if she tried. Perliai>s a stimulus of somo sort would benefit her—somo great piece of news, for instance.” "Possibly. But I hardly think there is any news that would bo likely to in terest your mother. She liardly ever so much as looks in a newspaper.” “1 don’t mean news of that kind. But if, for instance, she should hear that the thief who committed tho robbery of which Percy was accused was caught and convicted; or (if it were possible) that Percy himself is not dead, but hud in somo strange way escaped!" “Ah, yes; such news would give her fresh life, no doubt. But we must not let our imagination take so wide a range.” “it is not impossible. Why may not Percy tie alive? No one has seen his dead body Why may lie not return somo day? Men have often returned who wore thought to be lost for years and years.” “Why. my dear, do not let your mind run on such thoughts! You are excited already. Wo must not hope to see Percy again." After a pause Pauline said, “If lie were to come back do you think he would bo arrested on that old charge?" “Speaking from the legal point of view, I suppose he would be.” “But suppose ho were to como back— suppose he were in New York now— would it be unsafe for him to be seen or to have it known? Would lie have to keep in hiding until his innocence could bo proven?" “My dearest wife,” replied tho judge, gently, “the law cannot bo affected by sentiment If it wore so, it would cease to be the law. I do not say that, in ceasing to bo the law, it might not, in certain instances, become something bet- (cr and higher. Only in certain in stances, mind you! As to Percy’s case, there is no reason to suppose that he would be treated with any special sever ity. Quito tho contrary. It is almost certain that the original prosecutor would not appear; and tho government would scarcely take up the matter. No; Percy would bo arrested and certain for malities gone through with, and—but, bless my soul, I am talking as if tho poor l)oy were still in this world I Cod bless him! He is far beyond the reach of worldly justice or injustice now I" With these words the good judge got Up, and after kissing his wife's hand in a chivalrous fashion of Ids, ho went into the library to smoke his cigar. Pauline loved her husband, but she was glad to be alone at that moment She was wrought up to a higli pitch of excitement, and felt the necessity of dealing with her thoughts and emotions in private. She went up to her lioudoir and locked herself in. Since the occurrence of the day before she had more than once been on the point of revealing the whole matter to her husband. Had it concerned herself alone, she would have done so at the outaet. But the secret was Percy's in the first place, and she could not tell how she had been blackmailed without revealing his presence in the city. No doubt the judge would keep the secret, for her sake, if for no other reason; but she had reflected that It could do QOtfllM to nrev to havo him happen to he discovered m any other way it might prove awkward for the judge to have been found hi the position of sheltering a fugitive from justice. On the other hand, she could not tel! Percy of tlie insult tlmt had been put upon her, because he would undoubtedly sacrifice everything to intlict summary punish ment upon tho blackmailer. She had therefore decided to pay tho latter a sum of money, giving him to understand that no more would Ixi forthcoming for a month; and in the course of tliat month she intended to turn all iier energies to the task of clearing Percy, by some means or other, of tho old chargo which so hampered and obstructed him. She would then be free to deal with the black mailer at her leisure, and she intended to punish him to the full extent of the law. But tlie revelation of the blackmailer's identity changed tlie whole aspect of the case. To Paulino it had been totally un expected; and yet in looking back she could fancy that she had known him in tuitively from tho first. Bo that as it might, it was a triumph more complete than sho had ever dared to anticipate. Dupeo was tho man who had murdered her brother Jerrold; ho (as sho believed) was the man who had cast a nearly fatal shadow over tho career of Percy; and ho, again, delivered himself, bound hand and foot, into her power by perpetrating upon her tho crime of blackmail. Sho had him securely, for though ho had given a false namo tho judge would bo able to identity him as tho recipient of tho check, and the ease against him would thus bo proved. Ho would be ar rested on that charge, and then it would go hard, but the whole truth should como out. Sho regarded Percy ns being as good os free, and was strongly impelled to go and tell liim tlie story at once; hut, on second thought, sho decided to wait until tho probability had been made a certainty, and then bring him news in which there should bo no clement of con jecture. Sho wished, moreover, to en joy the pleasuro of managing tho affair herself, without either her husband s or her brother's help. Having determined in her own mind her plan of proceedings, sho waited until her husband had started on his daily trip to his office, and then she put on her cloak and bonnet and went out herself. It was a fine, clear forenoon. It was not the first time sho had visited police headquarters, and sho knew the way thither. Tlie squalid denizens of Bleeckcr and Mulberry streets stared at tho liand- some lady as sho passed by, but she was too much preoccupied by the matter in hand to notice their observation. She mounted the steps of tho big white faced building with a light heart, and asked to be admitted to see Inspector Byrnes. She had just put the question to the sergeant when the inspector camo out, in hat and overcoat. Ho recognized her immediately, and lifted his hat with a smile. “You are going out,” she said. “When can I see you?” “I am not going out,” was his reply. “I am going to ask you to come into my office and havo a talk. If you had not come here I might havo called on you today. Como in.” And he conducted her to tho Inner room. “Now, then,” he said, when they wei o seated, “what is tho news?” “It is you who should have news for me,” she returned, smiling. “I’m sure I you havo had time to find out a dozen you unew all, inspector; you seem to know everything! What r.ro you going Dcon t "® tl ‘ ,er • '‘isinvolving your brotuar to do with him?'’ in .the scrape must have been merely a — coincidence.

If lie were arrested hero it would ruin his position in Mexico, even if he were re leased again immediately.” “Now, Mrs. Ketelle, let us understand cacli other," said tho inspector, becoi grave and business like. “You aski me, a year ago, to clear tho memory of your brother, whom you believed to be dead, of the stain that had been put upon it, by discovering and punishing tho real perpetrator of the crime he was accused of. I told you that I would do what I could, and I have kept my word. By and by you discover tliat your brother is not dead after nil, and is in New York. Don’t you think it would havo been a kind and courteous act on your part to have como to me and told me of it?' “He is my brother,” was her reply. "I could think of nothing before his wel fare. I have told no one that lie is here, or that he is alive—not even my mother nor my husband. 1 know that you are an officer of the law, and tliat when you saw your duty you would have no choice but to execute it. I hoped that the real criminal would he found, and sc all turn out right” “I don't know as I ought to expect you to care more for tlie law than you do for your brother." remarked tho detective, stroking his chin; “and perhaps I should feel complimented tliat you cxia-rtcd the real criminal, as you call him, to be tracked and captured out of hand. But America is a large place, and tlie po- police havo a number of tilings to look after; and, as you know, it is one thing to suspect a man, and another to convict him. As to Mr. Percy Nolen, I will only say, at present, that I have thought it sufficient to keep one eye on him; his ar rest is not necessary at this stage of the proceedings. ” "I thank you, Inspector Byrnes,” Pau line said, “whether you considered mo in your action or not. But have you heard nothing of—of Horace Dupeo?"

But let claim and prove tliat me refer to another |>oint in your story, you mean harm ; You said that the name lie gave to your to him, let me husband was Crush—John Orush?' "Yes, but of course it was an assumed name." “No doubt: but it is curious that he should have assumed that particular name instead of another.” "Why not that as well as any?” ‘Because it is tho game of another man—a real man, that Is, a fellow who lias been a companion and Intimate of Dupee’s for some years past. John Orush went with Dupee to California and re turned with him. It was he who pointed you out to Dupee in the park, the day you first saw your brother It was lie who suggested to Dupee that it might lie a profitable job to blackmail you.” "How did you learn all that, Inspector Byrnes?' “I might tell you that 1 learned it by detective Intuition, or some other sort of witchcraft.

John Crush was arrested last night for attempting to take a man’s watch in an elevated train. It is not the first time we have had dealings with him, and when ho was brought in he realized that he would probably be sent up for a long term. So he resolved to get even with a man who had ‘gone back on him,’ as lie expressed it. And that man was Horace Dupee." “They had quarreled?" “Precisely And the quarrel was about you.

Tabott & Son: Twenty-fifth street, or thaf hood?" "To Ono Hundred and Twenty-fifth street?’ “By the way, that reminds me of something; perhaps you may be able to enlighten me. There is an English friend of mine in town, a gentleman by the name of Clifton. He Is over here to look after tho interests of a valuable English estate. It seems that tho hered itary owner of tills estate lately de ceased, and it became necessary to find the next .man in tlie succession. It was known that lie had gone to New Zea land, but upon investigation there it ap peared tliat he had left on a visit to this country. Finally news of him was re ceived from Mexico. Does the storf in terest you?” “Let mo hear,” she said. “Well, in Mexico a man answering to his namo was found; but on being told of his inheritance, ho declared that he i would havo nothing to do with it. Tliat I seemed odd; for people ore not in tho i habit of tlit owing away three-quarters of a million of money. Just then a person appeared on tlie scene who affirmed that this man was not tlie person he repre- j sented himself to be at ail, but an im- j poster. That seemed possible in one way; j in the other way, an impostor would bo tho last man in tlie world whom one would expect to let a great property slip : between his fingers. My English friend was puzzled; but he knew that this mys- ; terioUs gentleman had lately been in New York, and it occurred to him that it might tie a good plan to como on here and see if ho could learn anything more about iiim. “Now, it so happens thatl have an ac quaintance in Mexico who makes a point of knowing what goes on there, and whenever lie hoars of anything that ho thinks might interest me lie drops mo a line, or sends a telegram, if there is any hurry. He had heard about litis affair 1 speak of, and also tliat the mysterious gentleman had had an interview with some government officials, and immedi ately afterwards had left Mexico cn route for tlie United States, tie telegraphed this Information, together with the al leged name of tlie mysterious gentleman. It w as a name I had heard before, and 1 had even met tlie gentleman himself. So, when the steamer was announced, 1 took half an hour and went down to the wharf to say good day lo him. And then, Mrs. Ketelle, a curious tiling happened.” He paused and fixed his eyes on her. She sat before him with her hands tight ly clasped in her lap, her lips compressed and her eyes dark with emotion. “Tlie gentleman whom I saw,” con tinued tho inspector, "was not the one named in tho telegram, hut it was an in timate friend of his, whom I had also met before. Ho had, however, been re ported dead. But seeing iiim alive and ! well, though somewhat changed in ap- ' pearance, 1 came to the conclusion that ! perhaps a mistake had been made, and that it was tho friend who had died" But Paulino couli restrain herself no longer. Sho lifted her hands slightly i and let them fall again. “Ho was a dear friend of mine," she said, while tho tears came into her «yee; “he wo* a coed friend to Parer Each beneficiary at the Citadel receives the equivalent of rjgjpjgyptKiurvv/liirmni ^0 had tS!iived it from some one else No Mrs. Ketelle, we cannot arrest Dupee on I that evidence. If we could find any pre text for arresting him, cither on this charge or on any other, then it might be possible to complete our evidence us to this. But tlie power to do that is unfor- ; tunately wanting.” “Do 1 understand you tliat if any one brought a charge against Iiim on another matter you could obtain a conviction on this?’ “I don’t promise we would do it; 1 only say it might be possible But at any rate I think it would do no harm if you would tell me all about your inter views with Dupee and what came of it.” Pauline gazed at tlie insiiector in as tonishment. “You know about tiiat too?” she ex claimed at length. “Why not? What is there so wonder ful in tliat?’ he returned, composedly. "1 suppose nothing seems wonderful to you," replied sho; “bull confess I had expected to surprise you in regard to thatl Well, then, if you know that 1 , have seen him, I suppose that you know I all that passed between us, also?” “No, no,” rejoined tho inspector, laugh ing, “my knowledge stops at tho fact of tlie interview. What you said to each other you will have to tell me if you wish mo to know it.” "It was in order to teli you that I came here,” said Pauline; and she went on to givo an account of tho whole affair, the inspector listening to her with close at tention. Her narrativo was clear and precise. “Do you think tliat ho was aware that you were tho sister of Jerrold and Percy Nolen?’ ho asked, after sho had finished. “Ho must havo known it. I was mar ried only a short time ago, and my maiden name was in the papers." “Does it not seem odd that ho should havo made this attempt upon a woman whose brother ho liad murdbred? Mur derers are usually more careful, if noth ing else. I think wo shall find, Mrs. Ke- tello, that he is innocent of that crime. As regards tho robbery I say nothing; but I havo never thought it likely that a fellow like Dupeo would commit a mur der so peculiarly cold blooded and com paratively unprovoked as that would have been. But if lie was wrongly charged with it it is quite conceivable that he may have embraced this oppor tunity to revenge himself upon a member of tlie family that brought him to ruin.” “You may bo right” “I believe it will turn out so. But there is another point suggested by your story. It is quite certain that he did not know your brother, for if ho had he would not have attempted to blackmail you on his account—or, at any rate, not on the ground that he put forward.” no doubt about tlie morning of tiie crime, mid Engines and Boilers, Saw Mills itrd outside the jeweler's shop . /, . , ., •,, , , A !H»* * [ Dupee was doing tho work inside, nnd Grist Mills, are acknowl- antl spelling, j, According to his account, Dupeo had not edged to be the best ever sold in , ifingnsn gram- of the United 0itAR1.R8TON, 8.
