0OhO VI Sildhc IlhS CdSO winch was per
ceptible in the whole character of he
features. was on the point of with
drawing my gaze, lest she should catcl
me second time, when light motion
of her head rolled her curls over hel
temple, and I saw faint line, some
thing like vein over her left eye. i
was a mark-a livid scratch-where
something had struck her. 1t might
have been the stroke of whip. But
no; l quickly glided back behind the
coach, and there reflected. Such q
mark as that could be made by a fag>

When l returned to my seat in the
coach the fair passengers veil was down
again. Could it be possible that my
suspicious were correct, and that chance
had thrown in my way a solution OF
the problem which had vexed my depu-
ties so much Yes l was sure of it
and the more / compared the two faces
in my mind, the more [ saw resem-
blance. Either these cheeks had been
painted. red to-day OF they had been
painted white yesterday. The eyes
were the same, the contour the same,
and that brow, with its tell>tale mark,
was not to be mistaken.
Wessoon stopped at the door of the
inn at Orion. The driver announced
that they would stop there for fifteen or
twenty minutes, to exchange horses and
wait for the mail, and also informed
the passengers that they would find
plenty of accommodation in the house
If they CLOSE to go in.
The lady at first did not get out, but
at length she did so and went into the
hotel. / determined now to find out
who she was. left my deputy at the
door Of the room she entered, having or
dered him to rush in, in case he should
hear anything that warranted his intru-
sion. On going into the apartment l
found the beauty was sitting by win
dow, gazing out between the. blinds
She started up as [ entered, and let her
veil fall.
81 thought this was private room,
sir, she said. Her voice trembled and
sounded unnatural
cit may be-" I returned "but that
does not exclude those who have bust
ness. | came on purpose to see you.
There was momentary pause, and
then she appeared as calm as could be.
"What are you % she asked.
81 am in officer from Bow street." I
replied. 81 want to know who you
are"
"Stop--one moment" she said and
as she spoke she carried her hand be-
meath her cloak. 1t was quickly with
drawn, and in it was a pistol, but she
portion of her dress with it,
and before she could clear it, | had
sprung upon her and seized her by the
arms. But it was her no longer
There was more muscle in that Slight
body than [ had bargained for. How>
ever my man popped" in the moment
he heard the scuiile, and the beauty
was soon secured. The glossy brown
tresses feiloff during the scuffle, and
some Of the paint was removed from the
cheeks.
AS soon as the prisoner was secured,
l had his trunk taken off and brought
in, and upon overhauling its contents
we found DISCUSSES Of all sorts, and
quite sum Of money, besides watches
and Jewelry Of much value. | made
him assume proper male attire, and
when he stood forth in propria persona,
| found that he had net only used red
paint for the blushing beauty of to-day,
but that he had applied more cadaver-
Gus coloring matter for the consumptiYe
individual Of yesterday. AS he stood
now, he was lithe-built, intelligent
youth ofnot more than twenty
but with cold-blooded expression up
on his marble face, and an evil look in
his dark eyes.
We carried him back to Lowstone,
where we found the money of the old
farmer upon him besides other money
which had been lost by dlfereut individ-
uals. At first he told strange stories of
but finally when he knew the
worst must come, he confessed the
whole. He was from London, and had
come into the country on purpose to
rob. He had two confederates with him,
who had helped him from place to place.
One ofthem had taken him away from
the inn the night before, and the other
had brought him and set him down at
the farmers gate that morning. We
made search for these confederates, but
they had got wind Of their principals
arrest, ana were not to be found.
However, we had got the chief sinner,
and bad broken up the game. After
he had been found guilty and sentenced,
he seemed to enjoy himself hugely in
telling how he had deceived the good
people of our county. Now he would
turn himself again into the old woman,
who had given the driver so much
trouble about her handbook. Then he
would be again the meek>browed min
lister, who had distributed tracts to the
and picked their pockets
while they read. Then he would do
himself up into the little hump backed
old man, who had been lifted into, and
ont of the coach, and robbed his helpers
while they fixed his crutches for him.
1t was funny-very-and perhaps we
might never have caught him but for
the accident of the faggot. That was
not so funny for him; and | doubt if he
found much fun in working at our hard
stone-hammering early and late-with
an memorable master over him to spur
him on when he Jagged.
