THE DAY AFTER THE DERBY.


Before commencing an account Of what
has been done. and what discovered,
] cannot refrain from writing ono sen.
tence. Success has crowned our efforts.
There ia no need hero to infinitely de.
scribe our proceedings on Monday and
Tuesday. Sufficient to say that was in
constant communication with Fowler
who Is a most trustworthy fellow, and
shrewd to the tips of his nails-and that
I had occasion on Tuesday to again as
sumo my disguise. On Tuesday night I
saw DR.. Daincourt, and was glad to learn
from him that there was an improvement
in Miss Rutland's condition.
"Due," he observed, ''in a great meas.
ure to certain assurances I impaired to
her In voice so distinct and cheerful as
to impress itself upon her fevered i'm
agination."
THAT is good news" said "You are
administering what she rcquircs-medi-
cine for the mind"
come now at once to the account Of
one Of the most exciting days-the Derby
day Of 1851 have ever passed through.
Fowler was In my house at 7o'clock in the
morning, and brought with him suit of
clothes which he wished me to wear He
had forewarncd me that he had intended to
make change in his own appearance, and
was therefore not surprised when he
presented himself in the guise Of a well to
do farmer who had come to london to see
the Derby.
"Miss White Is going, SIR" he said,
sand we are going, too. I have been liv-
ing in the house with her these last two
days, and 1t IL important that abe
should not recognize me. I have piece
OF satisfactory information for you. 1t Is
an even bet that before this day is out
bring you face to face with Mr.. Eustace
Rutland"
''If you do" said I, 'you will lose
nothing by it. Bring mo into the same
room as that young man and I will wiring
from him what desire to know"
''Dont get excited, sir" said Fowler.
'Keep COOL You have had a good nights
rest, hopes'
"That's right. Mako hearty break
fast, as am going to do. We shall need
all our strength. 1t u going to DO q
heavy day for u.s."
"Whero does Ida White start FRONT" I
asked.
~ can't tell you, sir. pumped the
landlady Of the house, but she knew
nothing except that q new bonnet had
arrived for our lady bird. Miss White is
rs close as wax, but that new bonnet
means the Derby, II it means anything.
She can't very well start before o'clock,
and we shall be on the watch for her not
later than $50. have six men engaged
in the affair." sir. 1t will cost something"
"Never mind the cost" said; 'it is
the last thing to be considered"
THAT is the way to work to success.
Many ship is spoiled for ha'porth Of
TOW Va chon nf tr;n ,,,b
ant, or my name is not Fowler.
His confident, hopeful manner inspired
me with confidence, and after partaking Of
n substantial breakfast we both set out for
Brixton. Fowler had hired cab by the
hour, with promise Of double fare to the
driver, to whom he gave explicit instruc.
tions. We did not enter the house; we
fingered at the corner Of street at some
distance from 1t, and Mt 0:40 Miss IdG
White closed the street door behind her.
Secret signals passed between Fowler and
his men, and we followed the lady's maid,
the cab which Fowler had engaged crawl
ing in our rear without attracting atten-
ton. Miss White sauntered on until she
came to a cab stand, and entering cab,
was driven away. We were after her
like a shot. Two other cabs started ut
the same time, and learned from
Fowler that they were hired by his men.
"Dont think l have drawn of all my
forces, sir" he said. although Miss
White has left the house, there are two
men on watch, who will remain there the
whole OF the day. She has started early.
1t will make it all the easier for us.''
Miss Whito's cab stopped ut Victoria
station, and we stopped also.
''She's smart looking woman, sir"
whispered Fowler to me.
"She has a splendid complexion" re-
marked.
PUT on, SIR" said Fowler smiling
"put on. Leave q lady's maid alone to
learn the tricks of the fncP."
