Then II is not Captain Duvally want
This is not the man to whom / gave the

name"
Duvally looked savage and capable OF
doing a trick or two himself.
He led the two investigators to the
stables. After close inspection NJ. Sene

horses and a splendid carriage.
THAT Is the equipage that came TO my
door" he said. positively.
Duvaly. who had expected nothing OF
this kind, was much surprised.

and powerful shoulders. He could man
age any horse"
The very man He IL was who drove
the horses 20 my door,"
II agree with his highness that the
matter becomes more inexpiicable every
minute" said Duvally. BewiNered stag

them. the two investigators returned TO
tho office OF the magistrate. this time ac-
companied by the real Bosso Duvally who
had received a stealthy order from hls
prince 10 follow the matter up and learn
