CHAPTER XII.

There was something written in pencil
across the back of the envelope.
The rain which had beaten down upon
the paper had almost obliterated the
writing, but it was still family visible.
I turned my eyes upon it and proceed
ed to decipher the almost faded charac-
ters.
The task was difficult, but presently |
saw that the writing was an address,
and the name of the street was Dudley.
When had become satisfied with this,
| turned all my powers upon the num-
ber.
At first / made it out to be 95.
Then | saw there had been another
figure in front, whether two or three L
could not say.
1t was plain, however, that had come
exceedingly close to the truth.
Delighted with my success thus FAR,
now set out to find the street. 1t was
not one of much Importance, but l soon
came upon it, and in short time passed
in front of No. 295
Although not appearing to do so, l
surveyed the building.
It was a understanding h. lse, and ]
could see nothing in its external appear
ance to indicate that there was any con-
nection between its inmates and men of
burglarious stamp.
Indeed, so quiet did it seem that even
experienced feeling of disappointment
concerning the probable outcome oil my
quest.
] remembered, however, that very
often the most daring of thieves were
the most cunning. They did not asso-
ciate with men of their class, but were

Perhaps this man Theodore, having
once been gentleman, persisted in car
rying his old surroundings into his new
business. He must live after a certain
style, and have at least the comforts of
civilization around him, even if his trade
was now that of a common house
breaker.
Somehow this thought gave me conf
dence once more.
] began to feel that locks were not
everything in this world, and when ] had
gone some little distance down the street
turned to look back.
All! A man was coming out of the
very house which had been watching.
He came toward me at quite rapid pace.
To my intense surprise and delight |
saw the object of my search before me.
There could be no mistake was
looking upon Theodore Parker-the man
who had climbed the vines leading up to
the window, and who was in the cham
Der of DR.. Seabury on the night of the
murder.
Knowing that l now had need of all
the GOODNESS l could command, resolved
to act my part with discretion.

A ror,s Essay on Breathing.

We breathe with our lungs. our
lights, our kidneys and our livers. If
it wasn't for our breath we would die
when we slept. Our breath keeps the
life a-goipg through the nose when we
are asleep. Boys who stay in room
all day should not breathe. They
should wait until they get out in tho
fresh air. Boys in room make bad
air called carbonicide. Carbonicide is
as poison as mad dogs. A lot Of sol
diers were once in black hole in Cal
cutta and carbonicide got in there and
killed them. Girls sometimes ruin the

THE TRAIN ROBBERS.

CO.. Searcey, now in Jail at Freder-
icksburg for train robbery, yesterday
denied that he had made confession
or that he had "peached'' on Morgan
field. President Weir, of the Adams
Express Company in New York, is now
in possession of the large pouch which
was sent to him from Virginia, and
which contained drafts, mortgages,
checks, bills of lading, policies and
other documents which were stolen
from the express car OF the company
by Searcey aud his gang at Aqua creek.
President Weir said that the contents
of several smaller pouches had been
emptied into this large one after the
r,bbery, and the lobbers had
then gone into the deep forests
near Calverton, and had divided the
plumber, taking the money and the
papers and the articles which could be
readily converted into cash and leaving
the documents which could not be con-
verted without inviting suspicion.
These latter articles were then put into
the pouch and buried at the foot of
big tree, where the pouch was found
few days ago by the company's detect
ives.
President Weir could not state def.
nitely just what amount of money the
documents in the pouch represented,
but stated that the actual loss to the
company, considering the recovery of
the cash found on the person of the two
robbers, VINO are now in custody, and
the papers subsequently recovered.
would not amount to over $1,000.
Detective Robert A. Pinkerton, who
engineered the confession, and the va
rious officials of the express company
left Washington yesterday afternoon,
and it is not believed that there will be
any new developments until the sitting
of the Stafford county court in Novem-
bar.
1t is asserted positively by those who
ought to know that Jim Morgan, alias
Charles Morganfeld, under arrest in
Cincinnati, will not be brought east IN
til he has fully recovered from the in
jurics he received in jumping from the
train.
Searcey, the self-confessed train rob-
Der, is resting quietly in Jail at Freder-
icksburg under strong guard day and
night. He enjoys his meals, reads the
papers and smokes good cigars. He is
glad to talk with any one who calls,
but will not say from what place he
halls in Texas or anything about his
family.

In his speech in New York, night be-
fore last Senator Hill said: "In 1852 L
put forth all my energies and devoted
all my influence to get the democrats OF
this State to stand by the national
ticket, and that they were not unloyal
to their party think the result OF the
election showed" Unless it be that
the President, who said, in his famous
letter to Mr.. Wilson, he would "refuse
to accept the results embodied in the
tariff bill, intends to stand by that dec
laration, though he, with the power to
kill that bill in his hands, refused to
use it, while Senator Hill exerted
every means at his command to defeat
it, his refusal to express himself in
favor of the democratic ticket in New
York suggests the idea that something
must be the matter with him. Early
last summer leading financial house
in New York informed its Washington
correspondent that rumor to that ct
feet was currant there, and asked him
to investigate it. Mr.. Cleveland's
present course certainly tends to give
crederce to that rumor.

ONE OF the democratic newspapers
of Richmond comes out openly and
says it believes that its party will re-
sort to cheating al the coming election,
and the other two, apparently under
the same belief, are advising their par
ty against the adoption of any such
means by which to secure success. AS,
under the old election law, the democrats
had majority of forty thousand, why
there should be any necessity for them
to cheat under the new one, which
they, themselves, enacted, against the
opposition of the republicans, cannot
be explained satisfactorily; indeed it
would be absurd for them to do so,
and people with common sense, and
who give them credit for the possession
of that same quality, don't believe they
will. But, as often before said by the
GAZETTE, it is not what is done in
Richmond now, but what is not done
there, that is surprising.
