case l wish to be placed under surveil-
lance until the examination takes
place. l will not otherwise accept
bail"
AS may be supposed, Mr.. Bruce was
greatly interested in the proceedings,
having been engaged to ferret out the
mystery which thus far had eluded his
grasp. Now to find his man ready and
waiting, so to speak, for arrest and
examination, all in his own house ana
through his own will, put a different
phase upon the matter than he mad
hitherto conceived possible. He u.s.
tened, therefore, with great interest to
the accounts of Hamilton's alleged
loss of personal identity as he walked
to the hotel with Mr.. Hartwell, and,
to the latter's surprise, was rather IN
clined to give it credence.
'Wny," said Mr.. Hartwell, Il ex-
pected to hear very different state
ment, from the tone of one or two OF
your letters. Indeed, purposely sus-
pended my own judgment until / could
see and talk with you"
"Well, the aspect of affairs has

about it," said Bruce.
For answer, the president followed
him into the hotel and to Bruce's pri'
vate room.

they were seated, 81 lost all track OF

thought they must be in Canada to-
gether."
"And were they?"
mo; they were in Nebraska"
Are you sure?" asked the presi-
dent.
Eyes. They had been at their old
business, Ashley and his friends, and
had started a deposit bank. 1t was in
Goodwill, a smart little village OF
mushroom growth. They forged the
charter, for aught know. But, any
way, the bank burst up in a few
weeks; for the three, Ashley, Scoville,
and Brown, presumably gave the little
town the slip and took the deposits
with them. The others got into hid
ing. as they always manage to DO; but
Ashley got nabbed."
When was that?"

Gas near as l can learn, the very
day Hamilton disappeared.
"As long ago as that?"
Eyes; you see, the excitement,
though intense in Goodwill, was hush
ed up purposely to aid the arrest.
Then after he was arrested Ashley
was found to be insane and sent to an
asylum in Nebraska, from which he

asylum"
How did they tally with the appear

"Well, that's the strangest part
about it, and Bruce hesitated mo-
ment.
How so?"
"At the Jail he was entered as light
haired, and at the asylum as dark"

why, yes. Just consider moment.
If it had been the other way, entered

would imply simply colored hair, of
course, and it would come out the nat
ural color. But to turn from light to
dark without the aid of dye, that is
impossible, for, of course, there could
have been none in his CELL"
"Then what do you think?"
81 think there must have been a mis-
take. l think he must have had dark
brown hair when he was arrested, but
by mistake he was entered as light
haired"
"Any visitors to see the prisoner"
asked the president.
HE had no visitors. The mans

saw him. She gave shrek of aston

"Ts there anything strange about

then she began to talk excitedly to
the prisoner"

mo, he wasn't. He was apathetic,
not to say stupid, through the whole
interview; and, strangest of all, de-
clared she was not his wife. She
seemed deeply affected by this, and
when she was going away the jailer
asked her what it meant, and she said,

the prisoners denial. He was doubt
less insane then. Well, he was sent
to the asylum to be treated, and he
escaped in a few weeks and was
drowned"
as there no possibility OF mistake
about that part of the matter?"
None whatever. The body was re-
covered in a few days after his disap-
pearance, and was easily identified by
the officials, for the clothes were the
same he wore from the asylum. He
was drowned not three miles distant"

CHAPTER Xl-Continued.

Several matters connected with the
affair were touched upon, all Of which
interested Mr.. Hamilton deeply. In
no way did he endeavor to evade or
conceal-or so it seemed-any event
or circumstance. Indeed, 1t was a
wonder, they all thought, that his
equanimity was so little disturbed by
what must have been trying ordeal.
He looked in better health than when
he went away, they thought-younger
and brighter, and more alert, and they
told him so.
IT think so myself" he said. ut
must have been my relief from wear
ing thought and work. When l went
away my nerves were in shaky con-
dition. At times could not hold my
hand still. Now see," and he stretch
ed out firm, muscular hand that COM
PEELED their admiration. A handsome,
old-fashioned ring adorned it that they
had occasionally seen before he went
away.
MAY see it?" asked Mr.. Taylor.
A slight hesitation manifested itself
for a moment. Then he took it off and
handed it to him.
"In trust" was marked legibly on
the inside.
"a fine, old-fashioned ring" said Mr..
Taylor, handing it back. 81 think you
told me once it was your mothers
ring"
did -" said he. 81 don't recollect."
At that point Justice Bailey and De-
tective Bruce arrived, and in the pres
ence of the assembled bank officers
the warrant was served for the arrest
of Vane Hamilton, on the charge of
forgery and embezzlement.
Now" said Hamilton, seating him
self, 81 want this examination over as
soon as possible. I suppose l could
call for one before nightfall if
chose"
"You could" said Justice Bailey,
"but I should advise you to waive ex-
animation for the present, until news
arrives from Seattle. Doubtless you
will find no difficulty in securing bail
for your appearance"

mo doubt I. is as you say" said the
bank president well, that removes
Ashley. What do you think about
Hamilton's story?" 81
IT am inclined to believe it. This
Ashley affair was false light, and
blinded me for time. 1t isn't to be
wondered at, perhaps, when the green
haired woman's connection with the
matter is taken into account. No
doubt she was on her way to Canada
to join Ashley when she saw Hamu-
ton, and thought she recognized her
husband. His many DISCUSSES prob
ably misled her for time. So she
followed him for short distance, ana
then, learning her mistake, did not go
through to Portland, but took train
north of Mechanic Falls"
EYES," said Mr.. Hartwell, thought
fully, that would explain the matter,
and also how you were misled. But
it is the most astounding thing about
Hamilton's loss of memory! could
not believe it at first, but the idea
seems more feasible as think about
it longer. We supposed him to be SO
thoroughly reliable in every way, it
seemed impossible that he could be q
rogue after all"
IF he could only remember what he
did while he was away" said Bruce,
thoughtfully, "the mystery would clar-
ify, but l see he fears he may have
done strange things"
"Mr. Bruce" said the president, sud-
denly, Ebony Osborn had curious no
ton in regard to this matter" and he
mentioned the hypnotic idea as set
forth by Tony, and related the strange
performances of DR.. Major, which he
himself remembered witnessing.
The detective was much interested
in all new or unusual workings OF
science. WELL" said he, after the
subject had been discussed at some
length, Osborn may be right, and 1t
might have been Ashley who received
the money and altered the notes; but
he is dead, and, in any event, 1t would
be difficult to have proved the matter.
If were allowed to state my opinion
of what is right, should say, let Ham,
ilton repay the loss sustained by the
bank; for this hypnotic theory, though
very ingenious and not too unreason-
able for the belief of men like myself,
would only cover the affair with r1d1-

people with a feeling of insecurity
81 think you are right, Mr.. Bruce"
said the president. "At least, that Is
the way the matter looks now. or
course the examination may bring out
new facts so it is as well not to make
up our minds to any great extent"

Although mining is MT Stanord's business, for some time past he has been overseeing the work now being carried on at the head of the Florence canal.
