He saw in the papers that Hanil-
ton had disappeared, or rather did not
return as was expected, and so wrote
to me that he saw Hamilton on the
twenty-eighth; that he deposited a
note then as collateral for money
which was paid to him on the spot.
Therefore, Hamilton was all right at
that date. I Immediately telegraphed
to know amount of note, if it was pay
able to this bank, and by whom it was
given. In less than an hour the reply
came. 1t was payable here, the note
was for $4,000, and Bowles & Estes
were the makers of the note. OF course
I knew Bowles & Estes note was for
five hundred, and so 1t came out,
doubtless, much sooner than Hamil-
ton expected.

Mr.. Bruce took his departure shortly
afterwards, musing deeply over the
present developments of the mysterious

this Mrs. Anderson, or whatever her
name may be, met him like an old ac-
quaintance, and after stating at the
hotel that she was on her way to Co
aticoke, F. O., went thelnext morning
south instead of north in the same
train with Hamilton. Read what Lib
by says about it.
"They sat together and the woman
was talkative, but Hamilton did not
say much, at least when / saw them.

asked Mr.. Hastings after listening to
the extract.
That may or may not be difficult to

leave. Mr.. Hastings arose also.
Mr.. Bruce said he, the notice
as it reads now offers but five hundred
reward, but am empowered to offer
a thousond more, making the sum f1f-
fteen hundred, tho for the present no
lchange will be made in the wording,
unless YOU advise it,
s'I do not advise 1t. A change would
alarm Hamilton, showing that suspi-

the notice reads simply as il it were

thought, Mary asked her If it wasn't

The detective was startled out of his
general immobility by the internal
workings of the matter. A Develop
ment like that was startling, when It
would have seemed so much more
likely to have never come to the sur
face. But he managed to thank Miss
Talbert for her information and to
say. mo wonder she did not recognize
the name herself. It looked quite as
much like a rosebush or a wheelbar-

McCook absolutely refused to allow
the oath to be administered, or a pass
to be issued to Rowe, but as he could
not get out of camp without some sort
of document from General McCook,
he appealed to those whom he had
abused because of their loyalty and
begged their forgiveness and inter-
cession in his behalf. At last General
McCook assented and gave Rowe a
document which read thus:
