 Meantime, cabs had been ordered, and the prisoner, accompanied by two policemen, entered one, while the others were occupied by the rest of the party, and they drove away from the i'm mense crowd, which had gathered to the police station. The charge was enterc d and Mrs. Delaro and Percy were in- structed to appear next day and give their evidence against the prisoner
 The entire party then returned to the hotel together. Mir. Blodger, who was considerably mystifcd and wished to hear the whole story, decided to ac- company the party, and of course he had to take his heavy weight son along with him.
 When they were once more seated in one of the elegant suite of rooms which Mrs. Delaro occupied, Armida was the first to speak
 "Where is Mir. Bregy? Did he not say hc would wait until we returned?"
 Probably he felt too unwell to re- main and went to his hotel," said her ~other, but no sooner had she uttered tao words than her maid came into the room crying and sobbing: ''Oh, Mrs Delaro, they have taken Mir Bregy to the police station, and thcre has been terrible trouble here"

 Still Armida could not believe it, and was determined to go and see Eugene; but as she could not go alone, she ac- cepted Mr. Blodger's offer to accompany her.
 While she was away on this errand Percy Lovel told Mrs. Delaro his story. from the time he had left New York for South America up to the encounter at the Wild West Show.
 For the past week." he proceeded, "l have been trying to find you. have sought you at most hotels and examined the register at the American Exchange, but could not secure any trace of you
 This Afternoon l determined on in. dulging in little recreation anu at- tended the Wild West Show. Just as was coming away, the man whom we were each looking for (though until recently had no positive grounds for supposing that Julius Emerick and Leon Velasquez were identical) crossed my path, and, as had previously made up my mind that would capture him if ho ever came within sirbt of me, at once grasped him The rest you know."
 Then they fell to talking of the many
