MISS ROGERS, OF NEW YOR

MISS ROGERS, OF NEW YORK.
On returning from Miss Hadden's
school Mr.. Gryce found the inspector
Immersed in business, mainly connect
ed with this affair. Some new facts
had come to light, and from the mass
of information which was now his the
inspector was culling the most impor-
tant items Something which he had
come across appeared to astoniSh him
greatly, for lie looked both nervous
and agtatcd. He was glad to see Mr..
Gryce. and as soon as that person was
seated haStcned TO observe:
This plot is assuming great proper
ton. Gryce. Another girl by the name
of Rogers has been found who knows
the man Of the gray eyes and black
mustache. but | cannot think it is the
same person who was seen hanging
about the other girls, for she told me
his name
81 beg pardon" interrupted Mr..
Gryce, "but was 1t this!'
He showed the card which he had
brought from his late interview. The
inspector took one look, stared at Mr..
Gryce and remained silent. Evidently
he found it difficult to believe the cvi.
dence OF his own eyes.
II know that it seems unaccounta-
ble," observed the detective, "but is
that the namc:"
"It is"
Mr.. Grycc put the card back into his
pocket, drummed a restless tattoo on
the table before him. and for a mo-
ment looked as perpicXed as the in
spector. Thon his brow cleared. Once
O fact was established he accepted II.
"Then that matter is settled" he
grimly declared. 1--WE have found our
man."
The inspector frowncd.
II can hardly believe it," said he.
STherp must be some mistake"
at does not look like it," was the
firm rejoinder This is the name Of
the gentleman mixed up in the affairs
of the young lady belonging to Miss
Haddcn's school"

"And his description, like that Of the
person to whom you allude, tallies eX-
actly with the appearance Of the gen.
tleman who bears this name"
"a most unfortunate fact"
81 agree with you, but we cannot
shirk the truth" Then. as the inspec-
tor made no reply he inquired: ANY
points to give me. sir?'
The inspector nodded and came at
once to business, but not with his usual
good grace. Even an old official like
him has some confidence left in human
nature, which he finds it hard to see
destroyed.
A half hour later Mr.. Gryce sat in
bis own especial corner, turning over
the new facts just cleaned from the
Inspector.
They can be grouped under two
beads:
First those referring to the victims
of the conspiracy, and secondly, those
referring to its agents. We will con
slider the first group first.

Stocks and Bonds.

New York. Jan. 30.-There WAS
great variety in today's stock mar
ket with large dealings and wide and
constant fluctuations but the net
changes do not in any degree corrc-
spond with The wide movement Of the
day. The main spring of the specu-
iaton was the action of the Supreme
Court in the Northern Securities case.
The movement Of the stocks on both
sides of the case today seemed to
demonstrate by their final action that
their advance has not been Influenced
by consideration of a decision IN the
case. But it was also shown that there
had been a large speculative following
III Northern Securities stock which
supposed that this was the influence
that moved them. Thus there was
heavy unloading when it became
known that the action of the Supreme
Court would have the effect of con-
tinuing the injunction under which
the Northern Securities Company is
