We do not know that the note was pre-
sented by Horace Dupee, and even if we
did it would still be possible that he haG
received it from some one else. No
Mrs. Ketelle, we cannot arrest Dupee or
that evidence. If we could find any pre-
text for arresting him, either on thi:
charge or on any other, then it might be
possible to complete our evidence as tc
this. But the power to do that is unfor.
tunately wanting"
''Do / understand you that if any one
brought charge against him on another
matter you could obtain conviction on
this?'
81 don't promise we would do it;
only say it might be possible. But at
any rate ! think it would do no harm if
you would tell me all about your inter
views with Dupee and what came of it. u

'You know about that too?" she ex-

"Why not? What is there SO wonder
full in that?" he returned, composedly.

all that passed between us, also?'

me to know it.
ut was in order to tell you that came
here" said Pauline; and she went on to
give an account of the whole affair, the
inspector listening to her with close at
tention. Her narrative was clear and
precise.
''Do you think that he was aware that
you were the sister of Jerrold and Percy
Nolen?" he asked, after she had finished.
He must have known it. Twas mar
ried only short time ago, and my
maiden name was in the papers,"
docs it not seem odd that he should
have made this attempt upon a woman

derers are usually more careful, if moth

telle, that he is innocent of that crime.
As regards the robbery 1 say nothing;
but 1 have never thought it likely that
fellow like Dupee would commit muir
der so peculiarly cold blooded and COM
paratively unprovoked as that would
have been. But if he was wrongly
charged with it it is quite conceivable
that he may have embraced this oppor-
tunity to revenge himself upon amember
of the family that brought him to ruin"
"You may be right"
Il believe it will turn out so. But
there is another point suggested by your
story. 1t is quite certain that he did not
know your brother, for if he had he
would not have attempted to blackmaiI
you on his account-or, at any rate, not
on the ground that he put forward"
''Yes, there can be no doubt about
that, Pauline assented.
''Then don't you see it has bearing
on the robbery? Your theory has been
that he committed the robbery partly, at
least, in order to have your brother ar
rested for it. But as he did not know
your brother by sight that theory will
not stand. If we consider him to have
been the thief, his involving your brother
in the scrape must have been merely
coincidence. Your brother happened to
be talking to the lady, and his overcoat

instead of your brother, had been in your
brothers place, the evidence, so far as
the purse was concerned, would have
pointed at him"
''That is logical cannot deny it."
said Pauline. But it does not show his
innocence Of the robbery; it only shows
that he had not the motive for commit
tang it that supposed he had; it was not
revenge-it was vulgar pocket picking~
well, that is as it may be. But let
me refer to another point in your story.

name"
mo doubt; but it is curious that he
should have assumed that particular
name instead of another"
why not that as well as any?'
Because it is the name of another
mana real man, that is, fellow who |
has been companion and intimate of |
Dupees for some years past. John Crush |
went with Dupee to California and re-
turned with him. 1t was he who pointed !

you first saw your brother. 1t was he
who suggested to Dupee that it might be
a profitable job to blackmail you"
