will do you no harm, and needless
to say we shall be most pleased to
see you"
I remembered the girls pretty
face and the trim neat figure. I am
not lady's man, far from it, never
theless I thought that I should like
to renew my acquaintance with her.
81 shall be very pleased to accept
Miss Kitwater's invitation, provided
have something of Importance to
communicate I said. "Should l not
be able to come, you will of course
understand that my presence is re-
quired in London or elsewhere. Ny
movements must of necessity be
regulated by those of Mr.. Hayle, and
while I am attending to him I am not
my own MASTER
Ktwater asked me one or two
more questions about the disposal of
the gems to the merchants in Hat
ton Garden, groaned as I describe
the enthusiasm of the dealers, swore
under his breath when he heard of
Hayla's cunning in refusing to allow
either his name or address to be
known, and then rose and babe me
good-by.
During dinner that evening I had
plenty to think about. The various
events of the day had been so alb
sorbing, and had followed SO thick
and fast upon each other, that I had
little time to seriously digest them.
AS | ate my meal, and drank my
modest pint of claret, / gave them
my fullest consideration. AS K;twa-
ter had observed. there was no time
to waste if we desired to lay our
hands upon that slippery Mr.. Hayle.

The simplicity of the message

The simplicity of the message
touched me.
"Pray sit down minute, Mr.. Kit
water" 1 said, land let me put my
self right with you. 1t is only
natural that you should get angry.
if you think I have treated YOU as
you said just now. However, that
does not happen to be the case. I
can assure you that had 1 known
who Hayle was, I should have takeL
very good care that he did not leave
this office until you had had an in
tervjew with him. Unfortunately.
however, l was not aware of his
identity. I have encountered some
bold criminals in my time, but 1 do
not know that 1 have ever had
more daring one than the man who
treated you so badly"
I thereupon proceeded to give him
a rough outline of Hayle's interview
with myself, and his subsequent
treatment of me. Both men listened
with rapt attention.
''That is Hayle all over,'' said Kit
water when I had finished. ct is
not his fault that you are not
dead man now He will evade us if
he possibly can. The story of the
roughs you have just told us shows
that he is aware that you are on the
trail, and, if know him at all, he
will try the old dodge, and put run
ming water between you and himself
as soon as possible. AS I said to you
the other day, he knows the world
as we'll as you know London, and, in
spite Of what people say, there are
still plenty of places left in it where
he can hide and we shall never find
him. With the money he stole from
us he can make himself as comfort
able as he pleases wherever he may
happen to be. To sum it all up, if
never set eyes on him again"
eff that is so we must endeavor to
make sure that he does not get that
start" I replied. ST will have the
principal ports watched, and in the
meantime will endeavor to find out
where he has slowed himself away in
London. You may rest assured Of
one thing, gentlemen, I took this
matter up in the first place as an
ordinary business speculation. l am
now going on for that reason and
another. Mr.. Hayle tried trick on
me that | have never had attempted
before, and for the future lie is my
enemy as well as yours. hope I
have set myself right witt you now.
You do not still believe chat I am
acting in collision with limp"
81 do not Kitwatr answered,
vehemently. "And I most humbly
apologize for having said what I did.
1t would have served me right if you
had thrown the case up there and
then, and 1 regard it as a proof of
your good feeling towards us that
you consent to continue your work
upon it. To-day is Friday, is it not?
Then perhaps by Sunday you may
have something more definite to
tell u.s.
"It is just possible, I may" I re-
turned.
'In that case / am instructed by
my niece to ask if you will give us
the pleasure of your company at
Bishopstowe on that day. After the
tolls of London, day in the country

A Burst of Generosity.

A man from Dunedin once visited
(the town of Wellington. An Irish
friend insisted upon the visit or staying
at his house instead of al a hotel, ano
kept him there for a month, playing
the host in detail, even to trea ting him
to the theaters and other amusements,
paying all the cab fares, and the rest.
When the visitor was returning to
Dunedin, the Irishman saw him down
to the steamer, and they went into the
saloon to have parting drink
'What'n you have?" asked the host,
continuing his hospitality to the very
last.
"Now, look here" said the man from
Dunedin, 'I'll hae nae mair O. this.
Here we've been keepin' me at yer hoose
for a month, an payin' for "a the the

WHISKEY AND BEER FLOW
In the Court. House Yard of Hat
tiesburg this Morning.

A big lot of liquor was turned loose
in the court ,house yard this morn
ing. The total value of the same
was nearly $3.50.
1t was the whiskey and beer that
were captured during the recent
raid by the officers. 1t was claimed
by George Price and Will Preston
and a claim for the same was made
an issue in Justice Robertson's court
last week. The state won in both
cases, and it was understood then
that the claimants would appeal to
the circuit court, but the five days
allowed for appealing having expir-
ed yesterday Judge Robertson this
morning issued an order directing
the sheriff to destroy the liquor in
accordance with law, which was
done this morning.

WANTED HIM 70 ESCAPE.
Will DantzIer'S Brother Tries to
Smuggle Him Saw.

Glover Dantzler, small brother of
VIII Dantzler, the negro who is to be
hanged Friday, yesterday got per-
mission to call on the condemned
man. He carried with him con-
cealed a small key-hole saw which
he gave to Claiborne Benjamin, 8
negro who is confined in cell just
under Dantzler's cell. He asked
Benjamin to hand it to Dantzler
through hole in the floor. The ne
gro, Benjamin, took the saw and sent
for the sheriff to whom he gave it
and told where he got it and for what
purpose it was handed him.
The result is that the negro, Glover
Dantzler, is now behind the bars with
a charge against him of trying to aid
a prisoner to escape.
Sheriff Batson says it would have
been impossible for Will Dantzler to
have escaped had he secured the
saw, but it never reached his hands.
