it wise at every stoppage to keep an eye

Hornchurch. At the last named stopping
place burly farmer, with a body like
bullock, leaned half ont of the win

CHAPTER XXI.
THE ARTFULNEss OF JAMES MI

THE ARTFULNESS OF JAMES MULLEN.
"What method has Mullen adopted
for covering up his traces?" asked my
self, and as l did so a passage from the
letter which had been sent to him by
Mrs Burgoyne-the letter which had
fortunately intercepted--nashed into
my mind.
i do not see any necessity she had
written, "for doing as you say in regard
to sending the present crew back to
England under the pretense that we are
not likely to be using the yacht for some
time, and then, after getting the ships
appearance altered by repainting and
rechrisiening her the name you mention,
engaging another crew of Norwegians. "
If Mullen had considered it necessary
to take such precautions in regard to the
steam yacht, he would, beyond all ques-
ton, consider it even more necessary to
his safety that similar course should
be adopted in regard to the boat which,
until opportunity came for him to leave
the country, was to carry Caesar and
his fortunes " That boat had been de-
scribed to me by Gunnell as five ton
yawl, painted white, picked out with
gold. She had by now, no doubt, been
entirely metamorphosed, and before /
set out to continue my search for Null
len it was Of vital Importance that l
should know something Of the appear
ance of the boat for which i was to
look. According to the waterman Gun
nell, Mullen had gone down the river
when he left Gravesend that evening,
and indeed it was in the highest degree
unlikely that he had gone up the river
toward London in small sailing vessel.
Every mile traversed in that direction
would render his movements more
cramped and more likely to come under
observation, whereas down the river
meant the open sea. with access to the
entire seaboard of the country, and, if
necessary, of the continent.
But should the authorities by any
chance discover Mullen's connection
with the Burgoynes and learn in tho
course Of their subsequent inquiries that
he had gone down the river in "a five tor

omit this view of the case from his cal
culations, and, Knowing as / did the
methodical way in which he always set
to work to cover up his traces after ev-
cry move, felt absolutely sure that he
had taken some precaution for setting
possible pursuers upon the wrong tack.
The very fact that he had told Gun
nell he was to call for friend at Sheer
