n penny-not penny! You under
stand that, Mr.. Detective! am oil the
family that this young man has got,
and l tell you that am not respon-
sible. If he has any expectations It is
due to the fact that have never vast
ed money, and do not propose to be-
gin to do so now. As to those papers
with which you are making SO free, I
may tell you that In case there. should
be anything Of any value among them
you will be held strictly to account for
what you do with them"
Every good, SIR" said Sherlock
Holmes. "May ask In the meanwhile
whether you have yourself any theory

moved over TO the bank this evening.
In the meantime spare no pains, Mr..
Detective! beg you to leas'e NO stone
unturned to bring him safely back. As
to money, well. so far rs a flyer or even
a tenner goes, you can always look to

nephew. Our only clew lay In the trun.

Holmes. "Of course with q warrant we
