 Precious little l believe that the handsome man and the beautiful wom- an are husband and wife. though why they should go to different hotels and hail from widely separated points of Europe is beyond my comprehension After tho husband called yesterday to inquire about the ruby he walked up Maiden lane to Broadway and then to the AStOr House, where he went to his room on the third floor. At o'clock he came down to the lunch counter carry ing valise and fall overCoat. He did not pay his bill ill the office of the ho tel. so it was clear that ho did not Cx- pect to be gone long. Of course he left some baggage in his room.
 His lunch finished, he lit an expun- sive cigar and sauntercd down Broad way 10 COrtlandt street and thence crossed over to the railway station at Jersey City There i'll the waiting rooms of the Pennsylvania railroad he allowed several trains to go out, whilo he kept his seat ur walked up and down, watch irrr ha l., ing was clearer than that ho was expect ing some one and did not intend to leave until he or she appeared.
 A little before o'clock she came from tho ferrvhousc. Truly, she is the most beautiful woman Cn which l ever looked. She was elegantly dressed and carried d small alligator handbag Her walk was the perfection of grace. She must have been little late, for she was Hurried ju-t enough to give a glow to that dUSky complexion of hers which intensified its beauty.
 "As she entered the waiting room she glanced around, as if she, too, was expecting to see some one. Howard was there, standing near the door leading to the trains. They did not approach each
 
 like look of recognition shot between them. She purchased q ticket to Rah- way. and he had done the samo half an hour before, passed through tho door and boarded a train which left five min utes later. He followed at leisurely pace and entered the smoking car.
 While Mr. Howard was waitin at the station he scrutinized in his sharp manner every man and woman in 1t and who passed through in either dircc- tion. His black eyes darted look at me several times, and 1t was evident that he was on his guard against men of my profession.
 "You don think he suspected you:"
 ''I have no reason to believe ho did. "
 Well, what occurred after they loft Jersey City,"
 ''Of course I had business also in Railway. Had the town been smaller might have hesitated about leaving tho oars with them. But it was the time in the afternoon when a good many com muters are returning to their homes, and more than 90 people left the train at that point, SO 1 was quite sure that neither of my friends would scrutinize me too sharply
 "At the station they seemed to think 1t useless to keep up their caution any longer. The man engaged a carriage, helped her into it. and they drovO out into the country.''
 But whither?''
 II cannot tell you
 Didn't you follow them:" "Not by a large majority. What an oversight! How much you missedr'
 II could not have followed them without awakening suspicion. which would have spoiled everything. That in vestigation remains to bo made. Iwait- ed at the station until the last train for New York had passed and then went to the hotel. 1 managed to be there early this morning and finally came away | without seeing either. "
 But Howard was in this store at 10 o'clock this morning."
 T have just told you saw him. He must have followed me closely. and of course I do not know whether she was with him or whether he came alone. That neither was in the city last night was established. You said Sandhusen wished to see met"
 "Yes. He is aS anxious aS that you should undertake this case.
 "I'll go up there now. Good 6Ny till I see you again.
 | And he was off
