A few moments later Henry Oakley
and Mara Sydney were on their way to
D street. They found Henry's
aunt at home. She willingly accepted
the charge, being very favorably i'm
pressed by the young girls appear

When Henry had arranged all to his
satisfaction, he left the two ladies
together, and returned to his office. He
found a gentleman waiting for him there
who introduced himself as Mark Leigh

Henry said; " but there is no need of
further search. The young lady is
found" and he acquainted Mr.. Leigh
ton. with all the particulars of the
affair.

tleman, when the doctor had concluded
his narrative, that Stoner is in the

hastened on their mission
Walter Gilmore was about entering his
hotel on the morning when the events
above stated occurred, when his sleeve
was pulled, and letter thrust into his
hand by ragged urchin, who imme-

thronged the street. Walter glanced at

Then he walked slowly into the hotel
opening the letter as he paced the mar

The scene had been witnessed from q
