muttered to himself, as he walked into
the storm:
"For once John Pauley has ex-
perienced the novelty of being treated
like Christian. It's caution how
such treatment will thaw a man OUT"
1t is impossible to follow the move
ments of Mr.. Pauley, during the next
two weeks, in detail; he was very
busy man; sometimes he appeared
soothed and sustained by an unfaltcr-
ing trust, as though he were nearing
the goal, and again he appeared dis
cou1aged and perplexed.
On the night before New Years he
arrived at the cottage rather late. AL
though calm, there was enthusiasm in
his eyes and cordiality in his voice, as
he said:
Miss Simmons, the task is nearly
accomplished. Tomorrow shall place
the murderer in the hands of the au-
thorities, and you may go to the Jail
and get your lover. Now, be calm, and
I'll give you q brief outline of the story.

this town who had motive for kill

done. It was very possible that Willsie
had made enemies, though, for he was
misery and tyrannical. So hunted

gentle hum, as OF the noise of u brook
in the distance, and no man could tell
what gave rise to it. But these things
did not disturb Mr.. Pauley, as he
moved actively along the highway on
his triumphal crrand. He started at
daylight on foot; he had arranged for
horse and wagon for the return jour-
ney. At eight o'clock he reached the
hut in the woods and entered it. An
old man with a gray beard was lying on
cot, breathing heavily and asleep.
Pauley shook him roughly, and cried,
"Wherc's the Italian?"
The old man started from his cot and
looked wildly around. Gone! gonel"
he cried. "lIe was here with his monkey

something to make me sleep. for Was

Pauley raised his hand, as though to
strike him.

struggled through hundreds of pages
of personal reflections and turgid weari-
ness, and found at last what wanted.
In his younger days Will<ie was a sea
captain, and q very cruel one, have
no doubt. One day, years ago, when
his ship was on the Pacific ocean, he
gave an order to an Italian sailor. 1t
wasn't obeyed with proper alacrity, and
he knocked the sailor down. The sailor
made a threat, and was treated to the
ropes end. Now, Miss Simmons, the
Italians, or some of them, are vengeful
in the extreme; they can carry u grudge
for lifetime, and leave it as legacy
to their children. l made inquiries.
Sure enough, on the day preceding the
murder of Williie, swarthy man with
hand-organ and monkey came into
the town, to the great amusement of
the children. have 10 doubt that the
swarthy man was knocked down on
the deck of ship in the Pacific ocean
once upon time.
"singularly enough, after leaving the
town, this swarthy man fell down an
embanllment few miles in the coun-
try, and broke his leg; and he was car
ried to hut in the woods, where an
old bachelor lives, and there he has
been lying ever since, and the children
play truant to go there and feed the
monkey. He is able to walk now, and
might go away unexpectedly, were it
mot for the fact that have made the
old bachelor d deputy Of mine; and he
watches the swarthy man, and will keep
him there until tomorrow, when I'll
go after him, and release your lover

before, but there is some romance in
me, and / wanted the climax to occur

That is all that know about the muir.

Mr.. Pauley proceeded from the Jail
to cottage in the suburbs of the town;
there he was eagerly welcomed by a
young woman who, although pale and
with lines of care on her brow, sug-
costing that trouble was nc stranger to
her, was still beauty; with feverish
Impotence she motioned the detective
to seat, and calmly he adjusted him
sci in his chair and glanced around the
room, as though to inspect the furniture
before proceeding. An old man was
nodding in a chair before the stove: an
old lady was nodding in chair behind
the stove, with q pious book in her lap.
"Your father and mother?" queried Mr..
Pauley.

me all; have you seen him?"
II have seen him. Miss Simmons, it
is tough case; it will take a great deal
Of work to prove anything to his ad-
vantage, and my work is expensive. Do
you want me to go ahead?"
Certainly; the little money have is
my own, and every cent of it is at your
command. Money! would give my
life to save Hugh, as he would for me"
"How much money have you?"
"Five hundred dollars"

After delivering these sentences in a
jerky fashion. the detective prepared
for his departure. He buttoned his
black coat up to his chin and pulled
down the brim of his hat; for the even.
ing was growing cold, and wild north
wind ratified the window panes.
"You have no oyercoat with your

She hurried away to the closet. and
returned with an old-fashioned heavy
ulster. "This belongs to my brother

FREIGHT OF THE VALLEY ROAD.

The United States gunboat Bennington
came down from Mare Island yesterday
and anchored off the ferry slips. Soon
after everything was made snug the war
ship began to drag her anchor and in the
course of half an hour she was opposite
Jackson-street wharf and in close proxim
ity to the British tramp steamer Stratn-
garry. An iron ship was anchored close
by and from Clay-street wharf it looked
as if all three vessels were in cluster.
The Bennington was right in the fair
way of the Sausalito and Tiburon ferry
steamers, so Chief W Wharfnger Root lost
no time in ordering her out of the way.
He got on board the tug Governor Mark
ham and went out personally to serve no.
tice on the captain of the gunboat.
Shortly afterward steam was got up on
the Bennington and she was moved out of
the fairway.
The anchorage off the ferries is not as
good as it used to be and all heavy vessels
anchored there dri # more or less. When
the Philadelphia was there two months
ago she picked up her anchor and only
manage d to find holding ground when she
was off Lom bard-street wharf.

Yokohama and she will load wheat at Port
Costa for Liverpool. Nearly all the grain
crop is being handled by steamers. and it
looks as though the sailing vessels will
have to remain at anchor for some time to
come before they get charter.
The Umatilla got in from Puget Sound
ports yesterday. Captain Hunter was N
his element, as there were three brid al
couples on board. Professor Anderson of
Stanford University was also passenger.
He was accompanied by his wife and they
spent most enjoyable month among the
Alaskan glaciers. w. Lawson, the repre-
sentative of &. p Rithet & Co., Victoria,
B. c., agents of the Pacific Coast Steam
ship Company, also came down to spend
holiday in San Francisco.

MR.. CAMPBELL's FRIENDS
They Believe That the Wealthy
Hawaiian Would Not Deceive
His Wife,

In Honolulu, where James A. Campbell
has lived so long and is best known, he is
reputed to be man OF sterling character
and of great wealth. His property con-
sists of Honolulu real estate, sugar planta-
tions and island securities. He did not
take an active part in the revolution which
dethroned LiliuokalanI and established
the republic, but it is known to Hawaiians
that his sympathies were with the ''old
Government" as it is now called.
Paul Neumann was in the City yester-
day, and speaking of Mr.. Campbell said !:
I'm Honolulu he is known as a man of
high character. He is reputed to be worth
So, 600 600, but he does not spend his
money lavishly or make display of his
wealth. He is a Scotchman who married
after he went to the islands and has
brought up a family there.
stI should take no stock in the story that
he left the Occidental Hotel for lark or
that he knowingly sought the company of
dissolute and fast men. I have never
heard of him going off on bender and
accounting for his absence by mysterious

in the morning and made three meals a
day off the fruit stacked there. Nelson d
Anderson, owners of the river steamers,
got tired of having to pay for the stolen
fruit, so yesterday they employed a watch
man. The latter drove the loafers off the
wharf. but many of them showed fight
and blood flowed in consequence. num-
Der of arrests were made. In future
tramps will be wary of making free
meal off fruit brought here by the river
steamers.
The California Navigation and Improve
ment Company's steamer I. G. Walker,
was back in commission yesterday. Re-
pairs to her engines were made and she is
now as good as ever. In future the steam
ers of this line will carry all the freight of
the Valley Road from Stockton to San
Francisco.

ing in port. Last night the Italian bark

adventure. II is my belief that he has
told CAPTAIN Lees the straight truth
without establishment, concerning his re-
cent experience in San Francisco"
William Foster, another well-known
man, who lived quite long time in
Honolulu, said yesterday OF Mr.. Camp
bell: II knew him there as well-to-do
and honored citizen. whose reputation for
veracity was never called in question
He was friend of the old Government
as many other good citizens were, but he
did not take any part in the revolution

prosperous and satisfied under the old
order of things.
"He is q rich man without doubt.
never heard of him going off on sprees and
associating with dissolute fellows. am
convinced that the story which he told to
the police is true.
A member of the Grand Jury who
listened with the deepest interest to the
narrative told by Mr.. Campbell in the
jury-room last Friday remarked yester-
day: "I am convinced that Campbell was
shadowed at the Occidental Hotel, and
the plot to lure him away was concocted
before he went to San Jose.
"It is my belief also that more than two
were concerned in the plot Campbell
was seen about the hotel, and it was easy
enough to ascertain that he was a man of
means. Having nothing to do but put in
his time before the steamer sailed he prob
ably made some acquaintance at the bar
by spending his own money in an easy,
off hand, generous way.
'It was part of tine scheme. l fancy
that one of the gang of robbers went to
San Jose, and there picked up what
seemed to be chance acquaintance with
the old gentleman. There did not seem to
be weak link in the chain of his story,
and the marks of violence indicated the
ordeal through which he had passed.
"Mr. Campbell did intend to sail for
Honolulu on the next steamer, but to dis
prove the stories afoat he has decided to
remain here indefinitely"

crumpled soon after beneath Mrs. Win

That paper was mutilated before any
thing was published in THE CALL connect
ing Winthrop's name with Campbells s

1t would seem that the person who was
interested in keeping the neighbors unin-
formed upon the Brooks matter took the
same course to leave them in the dark
about CampbelPs disappearance, and that
before Winthrop's name was connected
with the affair.
Mrs. Winthrop could not be seen last
night regarding the story just related. She
was at her fathers home and it is said she
