@ -e,VoU Polly" he exclaimed, after they
j. had shaken hands, you're a nice one, you
= are. 10 help an intelligent officer in the dis
, charge Of his duties Who's that lady who
visits the doctor, and he let's out OF the side
door. You've never said anything about
her. you know"
= Lady! What LADY, The only ladies
that come 10 our house come TO visit Miss
Lynden. aud Of course come and 20 at the
proper door"
''Oh, ch pr said Mr.. Tarrant, sarcastically;
"thisis what you call keeping an eye him, IS
| itl If you amt got no powers Of Observa-
ton, you can't hep it. If you can't see be
vond the end Of your nose Pm sorry for
you: but if you amt altogether beetle, it's
downright wicked idleness that's what it
is
90, Dick Dick what have l done" cried
the girl.
Done, " cried the police-cons' able in high
dudgeon, 'it's what you amt done I'm com
planning Of How do you think Pm ever
going to get on in my profession if you
| won't help"
II assure you. Dick, I've done as you
! ordered me, but I've nothing to tell you
| The doctor locks himself into the laboratory
as usual. and l haven't been called in TO
| tidy 1t up Tor good three weeks. He's
never had a lady, nor any other visitor to
my knOwledge ell the time. Are you sure
you're not mistaken"
Mistaken not likely, he replied, 81 sup
pose you was born without gumption and
it can't be helped, but just you attend to
me-"
! And then Mr.. Tarrant proceeded to relate
| circumstantially how lie had seen the lady
| come out of the side door, how her depart
| ure had been closely followed by the uneK-
| pected appearance of the doctor at his el-
| bow, and now the latter had then walked OFF
| in the same direction.
If Miss Phybbs had been very faint
hearted coadju or 50 far, in the detective
| business, yet she promised TO be q very valu-
aule assistant in the future. she wished no
harm TO the doctor and his family, bu5 her
| womanly curiosity was now thoroughly
piqued. There was a slight favor of scan
dal about Dicks story which was very tit
tillatiug, her inquiries concerning the
ledys dress we're far more minute than her
cousin was able to satisfy; aud if Dick
rec 1gniZed that his theory Of the doctor
carrying on a private school Of anatomy
was negatived by the appearance of lady
on the scene, Miss Phybbs' ready brain had
already built up another to take its place,
in which, sad to say, a very indifferent con
struction was put upon her masters char
acter; still, in spite of Mr.. Tarrant's d -
cOvery they were IN reality, not one whit
wiser than before. Polly had known that
men occasionally used that stair for the
purpose of visiting her masters laboratory
She knew now that woman had also used
1t for the same purpose, ana she knew no
more. Why they came or what they came
about, she and Dick were quite as ignorant
Of as ever. They talked the thing over, most
extensively, during their walk. And
while Miss PhybOs ran over the list of ladies
who visited the house, endeavoring to put
her finger upon the one likely to be guilty
Of such an lndiscretion as secretly visiting
her master, Mr.. Tarrant arraigned the doc
tor Of every crime in the annals of the
police, coming, forgery, burglary, ETC., only
to reject them one by one. At one time he
suggested that he should at once lay what
he persisted in terming his discovery, be
fore his superlors but Miss PnybSs was de,
cidedly opposed to that.
Openly, she argued that it was useless, IN
til they had pushed their investigations
somewhat further, and arrived at some
thing more definite. Inwardly, she be-
heved herself upon the track of domestic
scandal which, though eager to get to the
bottom of, she had no wish should 90 be

had no concern, 50 when they eventually
parted it was agreed between them that
their lips should be sealed for the present
The next day Constable Iarrauts duties

waiting for orders, he heard some of his
superiors discussing a Communication that
they had received from Scotland Yard
relative to a considerable quantity of base
coin, with which the metropolis had sud
denly been Il joded and of the fabrication
Of which they had so far failed to find the
slightest clew. They described the coin as
beautifully manufactured and all evidently

Richard Carrant sucked all this il
