THE BooKKEEPER's Confession.
Late that same evening sturgis re-
turned to his lodgings, after busy day
spent in working upon the Knicker-
booker bank case. He was tired andhe
was perplexed; for, with all his unfag
ging energy, his quick intelligence and
his plodding perseverance, he:had come
to a standstill in his investigation. The
Evening Tempest had appeared with no
further mention of the .Quinlan case,
and with only a perfunctory. reportSof
the cab mystery, no attempt. having
been made to connect the two, for Stur-
Egis would not consent to- publish his
evidence until he was sureaof complete
success in his undertaking. AZ .F'
AS he approached the house the re-
porter saw light in his window, and
inferred that a visitor was awaiting
his coming. # was Mr.. Dunlap, who,
pale and careWorn, was striding nerv-
Iously' backtand forth in the room, with
his hands behind his back and his head
bent forward uponhis breast. =.
