"What reason do they give for refusing
payment"

"You can rely implicitly on my pru-
dence, madam, he said, taking up his hat.
After an absence Of some minutes he re-
turned with piece of paper in his hand
1.-THE fact is clear madam, said he.
"The whole of the deposit, Is, 423 IS Cd,
was drawn out on the 18th Of last Novem-
Der. Messrs. Duncan could not make
mistake. On the other hand, it seems in
credible that Mr. Gordon, in a case of such
importance, could overlook the fact of
drawing out so large a sum, especially as
the odd figures prove that he was taking
every available penny. Then you say he
had only 200 rubles with him-a ruble, |

HE could not"
"And what day did you leave Englandf"

knowing that he might need it,"
'He had no suspicion that he was to be

"Only ones"

"Can you tell me his name'"
After little consideration, answered.:
Ellis name is Kavanagh."
"Ahl Do you know in what relation they
stand to each otherg"
George Gordon was Kavanagh's friend.
Kavanagh was George Gordon's enemy.
He it was who had us taken away"
'Most interesting-a complete chainl
Did Kavanagh visit Mr. Gordon ofteny"
Frequently before our arrest He was
at George Gordon's chambers in the after
noon of that day"
II do not know whether your suspicious
take the same direction as mine; but it
looks TO me as if Kavanagh had got access
TO your friends rooms after the kidnsp-
ing and made use of his cheekbook. Has
that occurred to youi"
mot till now. But il was pointed ont
that some strong motive was needed TO ex.

He sighed, and after reflection said:
"Wen, 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 IL we convince him that MT.
Gordon is 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 MIR. Pelham, who de

of the case.

THE MADNESS or FEAR.
