"Still twill not be hard to determine

Wilcox. "The man has no business In
Europe. and. Us VIC know, he has an Of

Percy, ''that 20 alone to Buenos Ayres

Same night Percy and Armida were on
gagcd TO 60 TO ball ut the Metropoli-
tan 0pera-House.
They had not been drawn Tar into the
maclstrom Of New York society but
their life was not without some little
pleasures Of the kind and this was one
Of the exceptional occasions This
would probably be Percy's last oppor-
tuntty OF cscorting Armida anywhere
during that season. The ball passed on
pleasantly. but several times during the
evening Percy felt that the attentions
which Armida was receiving from q
crowd OF admirers worried him consid-
erably and he began 70 wonder whether
Il would be safe 70 leave her among
such q crowd OF eligible mon During
his absence she might possibly meet
one who would capture her free heart
In that case she would never know that

warming their toes over register pre-
vious to retiring, Percy declared his
passion. II was only the old story told
perhaps with slight variation, but be-
fore he had finished Mr.. Wilcox. who
had heard their voices, came down to
have q parting word. 1t was past his
usual time for retiring, but he had
waited to s,c the plcasure-seckcrs re-
turn us ho knew they would not remain
very late and even now 1t was only n
little after one o'clock. He came down
stairs almost noisclessly and US he
reached tho door Of tho parlor he noticed
Percy bending very closely over Armida
engaged in rncst conversation. The
old follow was angry with himself for
intcrrupting so interesting scene, but
having entered hc coull not ut once
Withdraw. "Ah." he thought this Is
encour ging."
Armida soon retired and left Mr..
Wilcox and Percy to have n talk before
going to bed. Percy did not tell Mr..

How near, that night, Perez was to

corning her history prior TO the time
her husband deserted her. She related
tho incident Of meeting him at ball to
which she had been invited by some
friends from her own country, and told
tho story OF their brief courtship and I'm.
ally OF hor marriage to Alphonse Breezy.
but she either could not or would not toll
what her husbands business was She
said that for the first six months Of their
married life no was loving husband
and treated her kindly, but afterwards
he began to 60 away for week or two
ut q time and grew cold towards her.
Finally. about q month after Eugene
was born, he went away and never
again returned. After that time she
never heard OF her husband but once
and that was from French plasterer,
who had been ont to Denver. This man
asserted positively that he saw Alphonse
Brcgy in that city, but that he could
not get to speak to him. That" con-
cluded Mrs. Breezy, Twas all ! ever
heard OF him, and had given up all
hope Of ever seeing him again until ]
met him few months ago ut the dock
in brooklyn"
"Was there any thing peculiar In his
general bearing?" asked Percy.
"Yes, he stopped little, but showed
1t more especially when he grew tired
Of wearing his shoulder-braces and
woulo -..~..i hem for day or two"
answered Mrs. Breezy.
Then Mr.. Wilcox asked what steps
they had taken to discover who MIR.
limerick really was since he went away
on tho Trinidad"
"All that has been done did my
SELF" said Eugene. II went down TO
the Office of limerick & 20. on Pearl
street and tho clerk told me that Mr.
limerick was in Buenos Ayres." Eu-
gene then recounted what he had heard
while tho door was closing.
After this very little information Of
Importance was gained from the mother
and son, but before they left after
being entertained during the evening
by Mrs Dclaro and Armida, Mr.. Wilcox
said to Mrs. Breezy: "Inasmuch as the
carelcssncss Of our coachman was the
cause OF your sons accident, and rs you
persistcntlv refuse any recompense,
you must allow me to do one thing"
what is that Mr.. Wilcox?' said
Mrs. Brcgy In pleasant manner.
"You must permit us to make some
inquiries regarding this Mr.. limerick
and give us permission to find out all
we can about him." he replied.
In grateful tone the woman replied:
ANY information you may be able to
give to me, no matter how scanty in de-
tail, will DO gladly received and
acknowledged"
As the mother and son were being
driven home, Mr.. Wilcox and Percy sat
in the library still talking about EN-
erick.
There is o mystery attached to all OF
it." said Percy to Mr.. Wilcox. ''If you
could have only seen the fellow Emer-
ick. it might have cleared up doubts,
but rs the matter now stands We can do
nothing but speculate"
VERY true, but II for no other reason
than to oblige this poor woman We must
now follow him up. Do you suppose there
is any possibility Of limerick returning
to New York in the near futuro?'
THAT is something that mystifics
me-" said Percy. why should pre-
sumably reputable merchant have rea-
son for keeping his whereabouts q &C.

ing carried no could form no sort Of
calculation. Ono thing he was thank.
full for, and that was life; for so lonT rs
that was left he cherished the hope that
he might find dclivcrance. lie was too
much exhausted to remain conscious
long and soon sank again into coma
toso state.
Meanwhile, Mr.. limerick returned to
his house, settled with tho Spanish ras-
cal who had engineered the outrJ GO on
Lovcl and appeared at the usual time at
his Office as II nothing cut OF the ordi-
nary course hal happened within the
past few hours Ito was little afraid
that any disclosure would lie made, for
he know full we'll that tho Spaniard
who had acted as Pcrcy's second would
never dare to say q word OF what had
happened, lest tho othcr members OF
tho gang should injuro him. OF the
Others, he had no eau 20 to b. afraid.
In the afternoon OF the same day Mr..
limerick received cable message from
New York stating that his partner had
died that morning Here was dilemma
for tho merchant How should no act?
II no returned to New York no ran q

he imagined he incurred by re-visiting
New York. So after weighing all the
pros and cons, he decided TO sail for the
Empire City by the next steamer.

stabbed his son to death and Charles N.
Smith, who killed Theo. Richtmayer of

Thayer noticed that the cell cots had
been moved about and ordered his men
to keep an extra olokout. They were
of a heavy rain storm The yard watch-
man shortly before midnight was at his
post as usual and was surprised to see
a rope made of blanket fall down
alongside the wall.
He made an examination and found

NAMED at his station and gave the
alarm The inside watchnlan hurried to
murderers' row. The murderers hearing
their footsteps jumped in their cots and
appeared to be asleep.
They were made to get. out of their
cots, which were removed from beside
the wall and a hole large. nough to
pass a mans body was brought into
view. The knotted blanket, secured to
the outside of the wall.
The prisoners were handcuffed and
placed in the "Hole" of the Jail. The
wall is an old one. and it was but the
the opening in the wall with the aid of
an iron slat taken from one of the cots.
The bricks were removed one by one,
and were placed under the cots.
