CHAPTER VI.-Continued.

But was not there an ominous sig
nlncance in its being found on the
oank of the river so near the spot
where the Italians were wont to land
on their excursions after liquor?
Easily excited, malicious and revenge
full, ready to brandish their knives at
any provocation, it was not impossible
that they had set upon Hamilton when
intoxicated, killed him and sunk his
body in the river. If his surmises
should be proved true, then it would
not be asked why Hamilton should do
SO strange thing as to go to the bank
and yet not to his own house after
wards. 1t would be seen that he was
on the way there when something hap

called after banking hours at the
house of the president. Mr.. Hastings
was present and received him pleas
antly. AS soon as the young man was
alone with the president in the lat
ters room, he broached the subject
OF MS call and produced the cap as
confirmatory of his statement.
You found it by the river bank?"

may have been washed ashore, but
think, as the water has been low since
May, it was more likely tossed there
by some one"
Eve had a small freshet the very
last of May, you recollect."
"Yes, so we did! Well. it may have
been washed there by the rise of the
water. Anyway, it looks ominous; do
not you think SO, Mr.. Hastings?"
Perhaps So" said the president.
DO you think Hamilton started to go
home from the bank, went as far as
the river, encountered the Italians,
presumably intoxicated, and was final
ly set upon by them?"

and if l am not mistaken, you were

his subjects

ilton himself"
We'll, well. Tony, v9u must own
that this is all the purest conjecture;
but if by any strange conjunction of
circumstances your idea should prove
to be not without fc.2dation, how did
Ashley come by the notes; why did
Hamilton go away with Mrs Ashley,
and where is Hamilton now"
"The second question | give over
unanswered, the other two by think.
ing of Hamilton as in the power of
Ashley, are explained. Yes, and that
might explain the second, too"
But how about the Italian theory
must that go to the wall?"
THE two might be united, some
bow"
81 conclude you have thought this
matter up considerably.
"Yes, sir, l have"
Couldn't have been Ashley instead
of Hamilton you saw going into the
bank, hey?"
NO, sir, I was too far away to be
hypnotized,' said Tony, smiling, "and

Well" said Mr.. Hastings, thought
fully, this is strange matter, and
perhaps We are only at the beginning
of the mystery"

what I know OF him | am convinced
he would not go away again without
letting his wife know of his pres
ence."
'Ah, Tony" said Mr.. Hastings,
gravely shaking his head. THE forces
of his nature, his motives, were all
unknown to us, and perhaps to him
self. Habit keeps many man walk
ing the straight path, when. had he
been differently placed, he might have
been thief from the outset. Look at
Spaulding of the Ayershire bank in
Massachusetts, Look at Caldwell of
the Phenix. Were they not univer-
sally trusted? They had to be to fill
the positions they did. Now. where
are they? Both in Canada. where
suspect Hamilton is, Bruce thinks so,
too"
Strange. wasn't 1t, about the man
Ashley hypnotizing the jailer?" said
Tony.
Yes. it was. man like that is a
dangerous man"
But Hamilton had no such power
that we know Of" said Osborn.
He would not be likely to let 1t be
known il he had If Ashley and Ham
ilton are identical this business at the
1ank here isn't his first piece of dis
honesty"
Il don't believe they are identical
| believe that Ashley is another sort
of man, who may or may not resem-
BILE Hamilton, and who by Hypnotism
or the milder forms of fascination
compels people to do his bidding. That
letter of Simon Lows would you mind
reading again that passage where the
man presented the Bowles & Estes
note?"
No, here 1t is. When he entered
thought he was stranger. but as
soon as he grasped my hand and
looked into my face | saw that it was
Hamilton"
There it is, sir. | thought so. AS
soon as the man grasped his hand and
looked into his face Low knew that
it was Hamilton, though at first he
thought him a stranger"
Nothing strange about that, Tony.
People are frequently deceived in the
same way"
But If it was Ashley, and he was
such a man as he is claimed to be. it
would have been an easy matter to
hypnotiZe Low and make him believe
what he wished"
why. Tony, you frigh.en me!
Where might we not I'll be If there is
such power afloat as that?" said Mr..
Ha ..ngs, aghast.

Clews and Suspicious.

In pursuance of his first thought
Tony took the cap and went to Mrs.
Hamilton's with it in his pocket He
hardly knew how to broach the mat
ter, but at last did so by laying it on
the table and asking quietly, Was
that Mr.. Hamilton's?"
With low cry Constance snatched
the cap and pressed it eagerly to her
breast. Yes, it is his cap. his travel
Ing cap. I made 1t myself, and he
took it away with him. Where did
you find it?"
Il found it on the river bank. where
it lay as if tossed there by the freshet,
or some person."
oh, then he was drowned! He was
coming from the bank toward home
and he fell into the river. Was it
very dark that night Tony? don't
recollect," said Constance piteousIy.
Rather dark; but consider, Mrs.
Hamilton, the unlikelihood of his walk
ing into the river. man in his senses
and who never drank"
True. Then what do yor think
about it?"
ut is all conjecture, Mrs. Hamil-
ton said the young man, forbearing
to speak of the presence of the Ital-
ians, as he had done to MIR. Hastings
81 brought the cap for you to see and
keep if you wish. | thought you might
like to know that it was probable Mr..
Hamilton started to come here that
night"
oh yes, thank you, Tony, and
will keep the cap. was sure Vane
never would go away without coming
home. But if he did start and was
prevented, what was it that happened
to him? 1t was something dreadful
He may have been murdered and
thrown into the river" and Constance
clutched at a chair to save herself
from falling.
Let us hope that It is not so bad
as that. He may be in the tolls of
Ashley somewhere"
