el&SSCW up Mr.. Wormer's last
h& VI 9 effort in the way of dis
knS~YAJ(N guise, when, on the fol-
aSk XN lowing Thu rs day, he
FkJtS brusquely made his way to
NLSNM/ the railway station for the
&0fS purpose of taking the
early morning second class express train
from Highcombe to London.
A modest appearing, somewhat seedily
attired man preceded him by few steps,
and, after purchasing ticket, entered
one of the compartments of the train in
waiting. This was Jasper Mariowe; and,
in a very short time, the soldierly dis
Ruised detective had initiated his exam
pie, and was seated in the same compart-
ment.
Thenceforward, during the entire
journey to London, hardly tie least
movement on the part of the watched and
hunted man escaped the notice OF the
disguised spy, who, however, appeared
not to take the least notice OF him what
ever, and who addressed his commonplace
remarks, if INDUCED in at all, to two
other travellers who chanced to be in the
same coach, to the exclusion OF the man
upon whom his lynx-like watch was set.
As for Jasper himself. he seemed to-
tally unaware Of all this, and scarcely
lifted his eyes from the newspaper he was
reading almost without cessation during
the trip.
Arrived in London. he strolled out OF
the station in an apparently aimless man
ner, but at length entered large tailor
ing establishment, whence, after brief
DELAY, he drove off in cab.
Wormer, who dared not shadow him too
narrowly, lest his purpose should be made
apparent, then likewise made an oppor-
tunity for entering the tailor's, and
learned, while making trihing purchase,
that the last conner preceding had ordered
and paid for fashionable suit, to be sent
to his address at the Surrey Inn, Gresh-
am street, Holborn, within five hours.
Expedition in the vocation Of tailoring
is nowhere brought to such pitch as in
London, as is we'll and favorably known
to the travelling public, entire suits being
frequently made and delivered on de-
mand in even less time than that above
specified.
Solve are going to figure in fashion
able society, as preliminary. are we?'
thought the spy, as he presently likewise
found himself in cab, with the Surrey
Inn. Gresham street, Holborn, for des-
tination.

Arrived at the inn, he was not long in
discovering Jasper, who was seated in the
coffee-room, partaking Of modest repast
that he had ordered. The spy seated him
self at the same table, as If at random,
and, while consulting the bill of fare,
permitted his glance to wander upon the
others countenance.
"Ahal queer coincidence, by Jove, you
knowr he exclaimed, in an off-hand tone
of recognition. Were you not a travel
ing companion Of mine from Highcombe,
Cornwall, but short time ago, sir? Yes,
