In the afternoon two days later, Hem

kin in New York. He was shown into
an anteroom where half dozen pa
tents sat in row against the wall, each
awaiting his turn. Hendricks sat down
at the end Of the row, crossed his legs
and soon became deeply absorbed in

Presently he heard cough, and,
looking up, saw the doctor reckoning
to him from the office door. Hendricks
rose and went in.

Seeing this, Hendricks stepped be-

boy" he said. II am detective, legal
ly authorized to arrest anyone sus-
pected of law-breaking. A letter Of
very grave Importance has been written

about it, and won't tell me, shall be

for an instant in abject terror; then he
burst into tears. lie darted towards
the door, but the detective caught his

troubled him somuch that he simply had
to satisfy his mind on that point. He
supposed his little gane with my

find himself in direct correspondence

"ExacJy," the detective agreed; "and

for his letter shows me where to look
for him lie is in New York, and has
been there ever since he committed the
murder and scattered those notes about

think the murderer lived here"
"But," said Miss Delmar, surely you
have overlooked the fact that Mr..
Roundtree has received warning since
then, and that Mrs. Walters has been
shot at by the man himself?"
Hendricks looked little embarrassed.

"but know whereof | speak. He is in

"You are, indeed, in q disagreeable
situation said Hendricks, in kindly
tone. mo one knows better than l. To
be frank--though the bare fact may
pain you little--l must tell you now
that it has only been on my earnest
assurance that had hopes of producing
the real criminal that have kept Welsh
and his gang from arresting you, Mr..
WILDLY"
There was silence for q moment. Miss
Delmar changed countenance, though
she stroye hard to keep her self-posses-
sion.
"Father mentioned something about
the probability Of an immediate arrest"
she said, in q wavering tone. but /
thought he did it out of spite"
mo; l presume he must have got
it from something the police have set
afoat," Hendricks replied, "and I think
you ought to know what to expect. But

WILDLY, try to put brave face on the
matter, and hope for a clear acquittal
at q trial in court. | shall hurry up
matters in New York, ! promise you.
