er officer by renarking, "Dave, I am
going to watch old Horton.'' The other
laughed at him, but did not oppose his
suggestion, US it gave at least a promise
of something to do. Mr.. Horton, in
common with many other gentlemen
was extremely fond Of driving, aud All
afternoon rarely passed without his or
dering his buggy. He had, OF late,
been mucI, worked at his office, and
frequently slept ut al hotel when he
found it too late to enjoy an evening at
home. There w:s nothing extraordina-
ry in all this-more particularly as that
home was no longer as cheerful as it
used to be before the death Of the father
and the loss Of the daughter-and no
one had paid any attention to his con-

soon thought of driving locomotive as

to see what It was that induced him 50
constantly to patronize that road. He
therefore hired vehicle, and having
instructed the coachmun to follow Mr..

the upsl,ot. whatever it might be.
OF one thing he was soon convinced
wherever Mr.. Horton drove, II was not
to Harlem, for after pursuing that direc

horses head aud drove back towards the
city. Closely followed by the detective
in the fly, lie drove to a house in the
Immediate neighborl,oods of tire New
York Hotel. Here he drew up, and
having rung, the bell, entered with the
air of IA man perfectly at home. The
detective, in the meantime, left his car
riage and took up position where he
could command everything without
being himself visible. Nearly an hour
elapsed. and Mr.. Horton did not reap
pear. What on earth is he up to-
thought the detective; there must be
some great attraction here: aud he COIL

taken. s*tsE .-zs5s 5s5
Presently the front door opened, and
Mr.. Horton stepped into the street with
a lady on his arm, whom he tenderly
assisted in to his buggy. The lady's
face was thickly veiled, aud the locker

himself by her side and drove of, and
the detective, his curiosity now excited
to the highest pitch again started on

Jersey ferry, and in course Of time he
