After an absence of some minutes he re
turned with a piece of paper in his hand.
THE fact is clear, madam" said he.
"'rhe whole of the deposit, 95, ,42S lis. 3D.,

His name is Kavanagh."
"Ah! Do you knew In what relation they

George Gordon was Kavanaghs friend.
Kavanagh was George Gordon's enemy
He IL was who had us taken away"
"Most interesting-a complete chaini
Did Kavanagh visit Mr.. Gordon often"
"Frequenty before our arrest. He was
at George GOrdon's chamber in the after
noon of that day"
II do not know whether your suspicious
take the same direction IA mine; but it
looks to me Ms IL Kavanagh had got access
to your friends rooms after the kidnap
ing and made use of his check book. Has
that occurred to you"
Not till now. But II was pointed out
that some strong motive was needed TO ex

"A stronger still may yet be found. 1t Is
not likely that all Mr. Gordon's property

Evidently the poor little man found II
difficult to conceal his disappointment at
this dull turn to an inspiriting case. How
ever, putting the best face he could on the
affair, he said:
do you know anything Of Mr. Gordon's
private affairs-the name Of his solicitor, or
any friend who can be appealed to for

"You yourself have not the means"
II have barely 20 pounds"
He sighed, and after reflection said:
well, madam, the only thing can think
OF is to see this Mr.. Lazarus and represent
the case to him. OF course avoiding the
names you have mentioned. He may be
disposed to advance the sum required upon
that order If we conviuce him that Mr.
Gordon is n man of honor. With your per
mission will call on him this afternoon.
and you shall know the result Tomorrow
morning"
After some discussion | agreed to this
proposal and left Mr. Pelham, who de
clned to take any fee at the present stage
of the case.
