was not of great value. At any
rate if he lived, he was wise in his
generation and he kept under cover.
In the house party there was an
other eternal-in more senses than
one!-feminine in the person of the
ancient and imperious duchess of Dull

possibility of jealousy of Darlington
in Ellen's mind, but the chatelaine of
the castle did not like the ponderous
and vicious dowager any more than
the younger pair who were making
the running apparently for the affec-
tions of her husband.
There was only one woman in the
castle whom Ellen really did like, and
that was Mistress Debbie Slocum of
Massachusetts. In making up the

duke of Outward, hard drinker, a
high player and rich liver; Admiral
Benjamin Kephard, jolly old sailor,
and General, Honorable George Athel-

retired list. The qualities that distin-
guished the duke of Outward were
common to Athelstrong, in less de.

sponse.
"Time to get up" said the detec-

Proctor jumped out Of bed and
stood in the passageway of the car
rubbing his eyes with his fist.
What do you want?" he cried,
gruf1y. What do you mean by get
ting a fellow out of bed so early in
the morning?"
Pinkerton could scarcely refrain
from laughing, but he said in his &C.
verest tones:

portance, Mr.. Proctor"
AS soon as he heard his voice, Proc
tor recognized the detective. He
smiled grimly and said:
call right. guess the jig's up"
And the jig was up.
In the trial that ensued the full de-
tails of the crime became known.
About year before the robbery Proc
tor secured employment in the boiler
shops of the Erie Railroad company at
Susquehanna. In six months his su-
perior skill made him foreman of the
shops. In this position he learned
that the money used to pay the en-
ployes was brought from New York
city, and that it was frequently kept
in the safe of the express company
for 48 hours before being paid to
the men. He next discovered who
carried the keys Of the safe and
learned that the agent of the express
company at Susquehanna and two Of
the clerks each had key. His af-
fable manner soon made him a warm
friend Of the three men. One day,
while in the shops, Proctor asked one
Of these clerks to loan him his keys
in order to unlock his tool chest. In.

bunch of keys. They walked togeth.
er towards the tool chest. Proctor
easily picked out the safe key as he
walked along. He had small piece
Of white paper in his hand, and while
he conversed with the clerk he rubbed
the key tightly on the soft paper. The
| impression was perfect. It was all
Proctor needed. That night before
going to bed he had key exactly like

facts in the safe robbery"
you have!" exclaimed the other.
II have" was the response, "and
the sooner we close it out the bet
ter"
After this Proctor threw off all re.
serve and admitted his guilt. He
said, however, that he had been the
tool of two men named Martin and
Collins, who were now in Canada.
They had given him $1,000 as his
share of the booty which he had
placed in a glass jar and buried it in
the yard of his house, leaving it there
until his removal to Buffalo. Pinker-
ton believed this story and arranged
to permit Proctor to go at liberty, de-
termining to hold him as a witness
for the prosecution and also as a de.
coy to bring Collins and Martin from
Canada where they had gone to be
beyond the reach of the American
law. Proctor was allowed to remain
at his home in Susquehanna, pledging
himself to keep Pinkerton's agency
constantly Informed Of his move
ments. One morning, however, he
broke his parole without warning.
Much chagrined at the mistake he
had made in the character of Proctor,
Pinkerton set about to recapture the
three robbers. His first step was to
put out a rumor that the trio were
being sought by the police for bur.
glary committed in Canada. On hear.
ing this, Martin, Collins and Proctor
purchased tickets to Portland, from
whence they had taken passage by
telegram on q steamer scheduled for
London. Pinkerton was informed Of
this through the various agencies at
his control and stationed himself at
Island Pond, point in Vermont
where the Grand Trunk railroad
crosses the line into the United States
He boarded the train and interviewed
the conductor, who told him that Mar:
tin and Collins, evidently suspectine
trouble, had jumped from the train
during temporary showdown on the
Canadian side. He said, however
that the third man was still in his
berth.
What does he look like?" asked
Pinkerton.

company brought no developments.
At this stage of the game the detec-
tive broadened the line of his inquiry
S" as to include every man, woman

Some instructive feeling-probably the
result of his long years of experience
-~-made him believe that the crime
had originated in the little town in
Pennsylvania. After learning as
much as possible about the personal
history of the Inhabitants, he began
the process Of elimination, dropping
out names of all those to whom he
was morally convinced no suspicion
could be attached. Then he ascer-
tained the names of all persons who
had left the town within the preced-
ing II months, and as a result of this
learned that George H. Proctor, the
foreman of the boiler shops of the
Erie Railroad company, had gone to
Buffalo about a month after the rob-
berry. This was rich lead and the
detective followed. it up with great
eagerness He located Proctor in
Buffalo without any difficulty and
learned that the man was engaged in
specializing in oil, and that he had
made considerable profit from that oc-
cupation. He was shadowed night
and day and his habits closely
watched and an accurate examination
made INTO his financial condition. 1t
was learned that since his arrival in
Buffalo he had deposited $1,000 in
three of the banks of that city. A re.
turn to Susquehanna developed the
fact that while Proctor lived in the
town he had no money beyond his sal.
ary. Furthermore, it was learned
that on various occasions he had been
in communication with people in Can.
ada whose regulations were not all
that they should have been. Dur.
ing this time Proctor, off and on, Wis.
tied his home and his people in Sus,

Pinkerton now felt that the time
had come for some positive move in
the case. Accordingly he settled down
in Susquehanna and patiently awaited
Proctor's next visit to his family
The man came in the course of few
weeks, and Pinkerton, who had as.
sumed an alias, casually found an op
portunity of having himself presented
to Proctor. He invited him out for
a stroll and finally suggested that
they go to his room at the hotel and
smoke cigar. Once there, the de-
tective turned to Proctor and said
sharply:
