house; that he had seemed IN a most
perplexcd and confused state, and
without 30 much as a single good
night" had abruptly driven OF, after
having first stopped his coach and
caused the three persons who had &C.
cupied it to alight In the gutter.
The fact was. Jonas Jarvis had
special purpose in view, which reQuir.
ed haste, and which he deemed 1t nec-
essary to perform alone.
Jonas, generally 80 consldernte for
his horses, did not care, at this par.
ting about during the whole Of long
day, and were greatly jaded, but laid
his whip freely about them. causing
them to proceed at a pace which GER
tainly in all their lives they had never
Travelled before. and OF which they
must have been astounded to find that
they were capable.
Yes. it was true that some few Of
the words which had been spoken by
Nicksey In his dying moments had
produced powerful effect on Jonas
Jarvis.
He had been impatient to be rid Of
those whom he could not leave behind
in Nicksey's house: and good reason
had he for his impatience, as will by
and by be shown, but In his anxiety
and bewilderment continually lost
himself and heightened the way he
was endeavoring to shorten.
Those who had occupied his coach
having alighted, Jonas dashed forward
his horses, as We hive said. and again
and again muttered to himself. "Per-
haps may be able to bring forward
some rather particular evidence. Poor
girl--poor, dear child. Justice Is rather
slow. but perhaps l may be able to
quicken her pace little. Come up!"
The last two words, 1t must be un-
derstood, We're addressed to his horses
and were accompanied by liberal
employment of his whip.
We need not follow Jonas Jarvis,
but will wait patiently and shall be
told the result of the journey we leave
him to pursue.
Theodore hoped 1t would not be long
before he could see and converse with
Doctor Forrester's uncle, since he
might possibly have some important
evidence to disclose.
1t seemed perfectly clear that one
and the same person was the assassin
Of Nicholas Shearman and the man
who had furtively entered Noel Bar
rington's house on that night, which
will not we hope, have been forgotten,
and who had been seen by Emmeline
to steal and destroy that letter which
she herself had gone thlthcr conf
IDENTIFY hoping to obtain.
And, after all, that letter, thanks to
Barrlngton's excellent memory, had
been the first. though but n feeble In
dication. which had so miraculously
guided Arnold Lindsay's daughter to
the point Mt which she had now ar.
rived and where ut last the fufilment
Of the oath which she had sworn to
her dying mother had ceased to ap-
pear an utter impossibility.
If In the presence of the man whom
she had seen in Barrington's house
would Miss Lindsay be able to recog-
niZe him?
That question was asked by Theo-
dore, and Emmeline replied that, meet
him where she might. she was very
certain that she should recognize him
on tho instant,
And Emmeline had hardly uttered
the words when a servant came to
say that Viscount Dareleigh desired o
few words with his son.
Theodore would go to his father in
stantly he said.
But the servant replied that that
was unnecessary. for the viscount had
been told that Theodore was in his
study and there was his father coming
to speak with him.
Eve will leave you," said Doctor
Forester.

and will introduce you to my father
