In the circumstantiaI evidence bear
ing upon the disappearance or abduc-
ton Of Luella Dearborn, as just pre-
scented, one would hardly say that Mr.
Felix Boyd could have discovered any
thing of serious Importance. Very few
men, indeed, would have regarded with
more than superficial consideration the
simple circumstances brought to his no.
tice; and 1t is doubtful If any man on
earth, save Boyd alone, would have
discovered In them anything of a very
encouraging nature
Boyd seldom moved out of a walk
however. unless stimulated in some ex-
traordinary way; and the celebrity with
which he arrived at the Waldorf, after
leaving Dearborn's Office, was alone
significant.
High noon found him just entering
the apartments Of Mr. and Mrs. Ken
dali, TO whom he presented the consul's
card and introduced himself. then
FASTENED to state his business.
Its about Miss Dearborn, said ne,
while making cursory survey of the
English couple. ''She has"
"Been abducted? Oh, yes, we have
just heard of it, and are in great dis
tress about her." Mrs Kendall impul-
sively interrupted, with much agita-
ton.
Heard of it, eh?' rejoined Boyd,
with a curious squint. May I ask. if
you please. who was your informant %
Why, sir, Mr.. Dearborn himself
replied the lady. "Joe-that'S Mr.. Ken
dall-just had a talk with him by tele-
phone, and was informed of the dread
full news"
Mr.. Dearborn, if you will pardon me-
would do better if he kept the affair
quiet" said Boyd, a bit dryly. ct is
barely possible that 1 may, by speedily
recovering the girl, be able to spare
him and her the unpleasant notoriety
attending the general publication of
such an affair. 1 by no means imply,
however. that you and Mr.. Kendall will
not maintain a generous secrecy" he
snilingly added, with much suavity.
"Oh, we will disclose nothing, as
sure you" cried Kendall, warmly.

Certainly, sir, so the gentleman
stated. He came on board soon after
