BOZzle went away at once to Trevel-
van, whom he found at his chambers.
He himself had had no very deep.laid
scheme in his addresses to Colonel Os-
borne. lie had begun to think that We
~ little would come of the affair,-es-
pecially after Hugh Stanbury had APP
reared upon the scene,-and had felt
that there was nothing to be lost by
presenting himself before the eyes of
the Colonel. 1t was necessary that he
should make a report to his employer,
and the report might be made little
more full after few words with the
man whom he had been Cooking into"
"Well. Mr.. Trewillian," he said, coating
himself on a chair close against the
wall. and holding his hat between the
knees,-.Pve seen the parties, and
know pretty much all about it,
CAL want to know, Mr.. BOzzle, is,
whether Colonel Osborne has been at
the Clock House."
He has been there, Mr.. Trewillian.
There is no earthly doubt about that.
From hour to hour | can tell you pretty
nearly where he's been since he left
London" Then BOzzle took out his
memorandum book.
81 don't care about ali that, said Ire
velyan.
II dare say not, sir; but it may be
wanted all the same. Any gentleman
acting in our way can't be too particu-
lar,-can't have too many facts. The
smallest little-tiddly things" and Boz
gle as he said this seemed To enjoy i'm
menselv the flavor of his own epIthet,-
"the smallest little 'tiddly' things do so
often turn up trumps when You get your
evidence into court"
I'm not going to get any evidence
into court"
Maybe not, sir. A gentleman and la
dy is always best out of court as long as
things can hang on any way,-but
sometimes things won't hang on no
way"
Trevelyan, who was conscious that
the employment of BOZzle was discred.

were now in the hands Of, at any rate, a
more honorable ally, was at present
mainly anxious 10 get rid of the expo
liceman.
al have no doubt you've been very
careful, Mr.. Bozzle," said he.
"There isn't no one in the business
could be more SO, Mr.. Trewillan"
"And you have found out what it was
necessary that | should know. Colonel
Osborne did go to the Clock House 7"
"Was let in at the front door on Fri
day the 9th by Sarah French, the house
maid, at TO- a. NJ, was let out again by
the same young woman at ll.41 A. NJ.
Perhaps you'd like to have Il copy of the
entry, Mr.. Trewillian 7"
mo, no, no."
alt doesn't matter. OF course it'll be
with me when it's wanted. Who was
with him, exactly, at that time, | can't
say. There is things, Mr.. Trewillian,
one can't see. But | don't think as lie
saw neither Mrs. Stanbury, nor Miss
Stanbury,-not to speak to. | did Just
have one word, promiscuous, with Sarah
French, after he was gone. Whether
the other young lady was with 'em or
not, and if 50 for how long, I-can't-
say. There is things, Mr.. Trewillian,
which one can't sec"
How Trevelyan hated the man, rs he
went on with his odiOus details,-de
tails not one of which possessed the
slightest Importance. ITS all right, l
dare say, Mr.. Bozzle. And now about
the account
"Quite so, Mr.. Trewillian. But there
was one question,-just one question"
"What question T. said Trevelyan, al
most augrily.
"And there's another thing l must
tell you, too, Mr.. Trewillian. come
back to town in the same carriage with
the Colonel. thought it better"
"You did not tell him who you were ~
"No, Mr.. Trewillian, didn't tell him
that. | don't think he'd say, if You
was to ask him, that told him much of
anything. No, Mr.. Trewillian, / didn't
tell him nothing. don't often tell folks
much till the time comes. But thought
1t better, and did have word or two

and when one has to be down on n

that the counsel on the ether side can't
