CHAPTER XIX.


MADr'
Nothing came of Sir Jaffray's discov-
cry in Ash Tree wood to help in unrav-
cling the puzzle.
He had not had the wood searched
and had contented himself with search
ing 1t alone for some hours. He was
unwilling that the discovery of Lola's
strange conduct should be made in the
presence of "a number of the servants,
and he resolved, therefore, that as he
could not bring them to the place with
out telling them what they were 90 lock
for he would not do anything till it
was at least clear that Lola did not
mean of her own will to return.
He reckoned, moreover, that as she
had not left the immediate neighbor-
hood of the manor it would not be diff
cult to find her whenever it should
prove necessary to search systematically.
When the morning zane and he had
been home about "a couple of hours, he
began to expect with feverish impa-
thence the arrival of the private detect
i've to whom he had telegraphed. He
wanted to feel that the matter was in
skilled hands.
When the reply to his telegram ar
rived, it was to the effect that Mr..
Clifford would start for Walcote at the
earliest moment and would arrive about
midday.
Feeling his anxiety in some degree
lessened by this fact, Sir Jaffray went
out to make inquiries about the move
ments of Pierre Turrian and to find him
and drag from him the truth as to
whether he had any connection with
Lola's flight.
But there was not soul anywhere
who could give the remotest or faintest
help in tracing the Frenchman. He
might have vanished completely off the
face Of the earth at the moment of his
leaving the manor lodge gates so ut
terly had ali trace of him disappeared.
The servants who, in obedience to Sir
Jaffray's order, had turned him out of
the place said that he walked away in
the direction of the village, and that
they had watched him till a bend in
the road had hidden him, and after that
they had seen nothing whatever of him.
AS to the clothes which he had left
| at the manor, he had said that he would
send for them either the same day or
the next, but 10 sort Of message had
| been received.
The man had thus vanished, leaving
no trace behind him, nor was there
seemingly any one who had set eyes OH
him after he had left the manor
A little before noon Mr.. Clifford ar.
rived, and in a very businesslike, shrewd
way absorbed the circumstances as Sir
Jaffray told them.
The latter, half unconsciously. mado
the story as favorable as possible To.
ward Lola, and his listener soon saw
this.

All that the poor girl says is so vague

is plain that it is no interference with
her lave for me which drives her away.

Yee Yen's hearing for embezzlsmoni
again held sway In tho police court
today. 1t dragged along very slowly
owing largely 10 the fact that testl'
mony had to os taken through an In

pounded were very often misuuder-
atood by the Witnesses.
Kim Poy, the complainant in the
case, was the first witness. He ,es.l-
fsd to his dealings With tho deiendau
Yes Yen and to his having de-
posted $50 with him something
over a year ago. It was his
custom, hs said, to deposit his spare
money with the defendant, and when
be had rsverses in gambling to apply
to his banker and general custodian
for sufficioa funds with which to pay
his losses and TO continue the game II
he saw fit. He never, however. got
the $50 Ia question bach from the de.
iendant, the cashier having the mo ney

State. The witness also testified to
zee Yen having slept with him prior

he skipped over into Colorado.

was the next witness. He testifieI

aud the latter having skipped while
the money was still in his possession.
During his testimony he did little

Assistant County Attorney Van

gave them the right to let the COM
