before could venture to show myself
here But saw Mrs. Jaker, and put her
| through a pretty close catechism; and
don't think there's any doubt that, in con
sequence of the telegram | sent to Scot
| land Yard this morning, Mr. Jaker will be
stopped at Liverpool before he can get
on board the vessel that was TO take him
| TO Canada
You believe he means to try for Can
ada" inq.ired the colonel
From what | got out Of Mrs. Jaker
don't think there's the slightest doubt
of it."
Mrs. .Jsker is a very artfuI person, )" said
Miss Darnel. Il know she has always con-
triyed to deceive me"
The detective smiled quietly. and to
himself, as it were He could not see that
this fact had any bearing on the case. 1t
was one thing to hUodwink a spiuster
brought up in cotton wool; it was another
thing to deceive man educated in Scot
land Yard.
Did you find out whether Jaker has left
his wife any of the money!"
"He may have left her pound or two TO
keep the wolf from the door till he chooses
to send her the passage money for her and
her children. They were swarming about
the place like rabbits in a warren poor
little beggars. He promises to send for
her directly he gets there and has looked
about him bit. don't believe she has
any idea of a robbery, or of his being pos

stood at 40 TO l in the betting She be-
lieved him, poor soul, though it was puz-
gle 10 her to know where he got the 5 shil-

to starve or to live upon charity till he
chooses to send her the passage money"
You don't know Mrs Jakcr," said Dora
From what | know of her character
should say she knows all about the rob
berry, and has got the lions share of the
money in her possession"
do you really think so,' said the detec-
tive, with troubled look "If | thought
that I'd get magistrates warrant to-
morrow morning and search the house;
but she looked to me sucn weak, help
less, trOdden down creature"
That's all acting When Jaker annoyed
the hunting men she used to go with him,
and her language was worse than his
Mr.. Colchester said it was she who goaded
him on to do itn
"1'll get warrant tomorrow morning."
said Mr.. Penwern."
You must have a good appetite for sup

evening"" said the colonel VIII you orde,
something for Mr.. Penwern, Miss DaI
neltr
He rang the bs II, and Dora informed tie
footman who answered it that Mr.. Pen
wern would take supper in the housekeep-
er's room. This was fall almost as big
as Wolsey's after the elegant little lunch
con with which Mr.. ,Penwern had been
RECALLED at the colonels bidding $50 like
a maiden aunt" thought the detective, a.
he went off through long corridors and
winding ways 10 that humber and buster
portion Of the mansion, which was as the
old town OF Edinburgh TO the new town.
In this more lOwly quarter, however he
was well cared for, and contrived to spend
iovial evening.
