He had improved his appearance won

He wore an overcoat, which | thought

He had new hat and pair Of new, ill

who had come TO the bank with Nc

Benjamin if he, too. thought him capa-
BILE of such an action. He answered
her in an Indifferent and heartless tone;
which made me quite indignant. In
fact, his manner with her. all through,
made me feel uncomfortable and
ashamed of the company was in.
Nothing could have been clearer or
more concise than her account OF the
day which preceded that of the robbery.
Her story was so straightforward and
her manner of telling it so winning that
it was a pleasure to listen TO her. 1t
all seemed TO produce very little effect;
nevertheless, on the expert, as he broke
in upon her narrative, twice or thrice
at opportune moments, with strange
questions about things which had moth

moment saying; just as If he old brute
were trying to set trap for her. she
was so ready and quick, however, with
her answers. that he seemed 10 gain
nothing at all by ii.
He questioned her particularly about
the stranger who had called on Mr..
McKeever and who had accompanied
him to the bank. She had never seen
him before and had heard very little
of the conversation. She remembered
that this man had talked about getting
a loan of ten thousand dollars on a
shipment of agricultural implements,
and her impression was that her uncle
had gone away with him to look into
the matter.
The servant, whose name, as | have
mentioned, was Maria Flanagan. had
come into the room towards the close
of our conversation, to bring some

her eyes and mouth open. looking as
though she meant to have her say about
the matter until she was admonishef
by her mistress in a severe but lady
like tone TO attend TO her work; when
she suddenly disappeared from view.
Miss Agnes told us that she had gone
over to Brooklyn on Wednesday. an
hour or SO after her uncles departure,
to spend Thanksgiving with her rela-
