Travcrs was devoted 10 her. They

by sea around TO Now York, arriving
there about the 9th of June; that, how
ever, was undecided. He closed by ask
ing IIayne to remind Maj. Waldron that
his copy of Clancy's confession had not
yet reached him, and he was anxious to
see it in full
"Thc one thing lacking to complete
the chain is Cover" said the major, as
he looked up over his spectacles. at
