suspicion from the author of the crime.

Inspector Hunt.
''How did you leave Terry?" was the
, question from the officers lips.
"Oh he will pull through" said the doc
tor. ''He will be back at his desk in
thirty days at most. But you have the
wrong man in confinement"
How is that?'
Il allowed Terry to speak. He states
that it was not Robert kellogg who at
tempted the assassination"
''Not Robert Kelloggv' exclaimed the
inspector. mot the man found with his
hand yet clutching the hilt of the weapon? !
Why, it could be no other. / have said,
! and will say again, that the young man
did not know what he was doing. But
he must be guilty"
''Haye you seen the dealer at the gam
bling room?" asked the banker.
Eyes, and am more than ever satisfied
Of Roberts guilt. He was there playing
faro. The dealer states that another gen
tleman was seated at the table beside him,
and that he noticed they very frequently
called for the sideboard decapter. He
states that soon, seeing that Robert was
too drunk to play the game with intelli-
gence, he suggested that the young man
go home. The gentleman seated at the
table beside him also ceased playing and
assisted Robert down to the street, re-
marking that he was liable to break his
neck. He states further that not five
minutes had elapsed before this man re-
turned and inquired for a silk handker-
chief that he had dropped ON the floor.
He asked him what he had done with
Robert. He replied that he had left him
quarreling ON the street with man who
said his name was Terry and who stated
that be would carry him home Robert,
he said, did not wish to accompany him
and they were quarreling as Terry drag
ged hiR off"
What became of this man.? asked the
banker.
"WhV, noticing about this time just
after the patrol wagon passed, the dealer
says, that it was twelve o'clock, he closed
the games, and all parties passed down
the back stairs. That is all he knows
about the matter, and it leaves no doubt
in my mind as to how the affair occurred"
docs the dealer know who this man
WASP"
"Why, he states, Mr.. Kellogg, that he
has visited the place before, but that he
is not acquainted Wit. his name Oh, the
man is all right, he would not have re-
turned had he not been. There was no
evidence of excitement on his part"
Then you still persist in thinking that
my son was the author Of the crime, in
spector"
Certainly I do. Though the author, I
can easily see that for certain reasons
Terry has no wish to prosecute tie case.
l win so over and sec him. If he states
to mo positively that Robert was not his
assailant, l will release the young man
from custody. 1t would be impossible for
the State to convict, even though he was
cnught almost in the act"
DO you doubt our statements?" asked
the banker Indignantly.
Not at all, not at ALL my dear sir; but
if Terry should die and was questioned,
either at the coroner's inquest or by the
district attorney, l would not desire to
state that suspects father and the ply
sician attending a murdered man told me

be able to say, Terry asserted in my pres
ence that Robert Kellogg was not his
assailant.'
'You are right" said the banker. ''Pray
excuse ne; but let us visit Robert before
you go and ascertain if he recollects any
thing of moment"
VERY good. Lieutenant, if any one
calls for me, inform them that am be-
low"
81 have patients that need my atten-
t:on," said the doctor, "and if I can be
of no further service
ooh, am under many obi, >ions to
you, DOCTOR said the banker. s'Ne need
detain you no longer"
Mr. Kellogg and the inspector were
sooa again in Roberts cell.
