the most implicit confidence, and Malvern,
seating himself, wrote these few words, ad-
dressed:
"MiSs Annabel Cato Residence unknown"
DEAR DARLING: Trust this man. Cast fear and
suspicion aside, for he win guide you to
Your ever true aud faithful friend,
MALVERN HILL.
The tramp put this missive away in some
pocket, the exact location of which Malvern
could not make out; for it seemed that the
man was all pockets Turning to Hill then,
the tramp said:
Tomorrow night between the hours of ten
and midnight, l will, according to promise,
deliver to you this young lady; not, however
until the five thousand dollars are paid into
my hands"
81 will be there with the money"
The tramp turned as if to go, when Malvern
stopped him.
"There is something that would like to
ask you, Mr.-Mr.-Wreck."
"Well, all right; what is it?"
81 want you to tell me all about this abduc-
tion-who was the instigator of it, who carried
it out and, in short, everything"
The tramp was thoughtful for moment,
then he asked:
ITO be used against me, suppose?"
"No, no; my word as gentleman, it is only
for my personal qualification.
1t must be understood that while Malvern
would have delighted in handing over this man
to the authorities, yet he felt that through him
alone he was to discover the whereabouts of
Annabel Cato and between the two alterna-
tives he had resolved upon finding the girl,
and leaving the balance between Wreck and
his Maker.
''No, won't do it-at least not now. Do
not fail to comply with your part of this bust
ness tomorrow night, Mr.. Hill for remember,
between giving her up without the money and
killing her, l will choose the latter 1t is in
no spirit of Humanity that l do this, but for
the money that is in it wholly"
And without giving Malvern any chance for
further controversy, this devil incarnate took
his departure.

"Oh, don't know-probably she walked
anyway she has f1ownl" with a chuclxle
Malvern was boiling over with Indignation
at this juncture, while his tormentor was rock
ing to and fro with as much Indifference as it
is possible for man to have under the circum-
stances.
'By the way" asked Cato, rising and reach
ing for his hat, chow much longer before these
miserable five years are up? 1 am rather short

1T is some time yet" answered Malvern.

you in your helish designs, villain" retorted
Malvern angrily, his eyes blazing.
"Thank you for your well wishes and COM
pliment," answered Cato, lightly.
Unable longer to conceal his suspicious regard
ing Cato in connection with Annabel Cato
Malvern Hill turned upon him with look of
hatred that was whitening in its intensity, and
said
81 believe you have abducted that girl, with
the intention of defrauding her out of what
belongs to her, according to the first will, and
God only knows what you have already done
or intend doing, when you get possession Of the
poor girls rightful inheritance!"
This had the effect of SOLDERING and bringing
Cato to his senses. Turning first red, then
pale, he arose from his sitting posture, and
facing Malvern, with his eyes flashing and
bosom heavng exclaimed:
"That is an infamous lie, Malvern Hill"
Scarcely had this remark left the lips of
Cato ere Malvern's right arm shot forward
and Cato received terrible blow between the
eyes, which had the effect Of completely stag
gering him for an instant. Nothing daunted,
however, he arose and with terrible oath
made for his adversary. Then followed what
doubtless would have been a serious encounter

by the scuflle, rushed in and stopped the diff
Guilty.
A few hastily chosen words spoken by NAL
vern explained matters and the parties re-
tired, taking Cato with them; not however,
until he had warned Hill that he would see
him again.

the failure on the part of the democrats

their defeat as the natural result of the
