portrait you have in your possession"
"See here" Hewitt turned over a
small pile of recent newspapers and
selected one, pointing at a particular
paragraph.
1t was an evening paper of the pre-
vious Thursday, n the paragraph
was a very short one, thus:
'"The man Wilks, who was arrested
at Euston station yesterday in connec-
ton with the robbery of Lady Uuin-
tons jewels, has been released. moth
ing being found to incriminate him."
The thing was plain now. Wilks
must have been bringing his booty to
town and calculated ON getting out at
Chalk Farm and thus GLIDING the
watch which he doubtless felt pretty
sure would be kept (by telegraphic in
struction) at Euston for suspicious
characters arriving from the direction
of Radcot. His transaction with Lea
my was his only possible eXpedient to
save himself from being hopelessly
taken with the swag in his possession.
The paragraph told me why Leamy
had waited in vain for MIR. W." in the
| cab.

II shall go to the Gold street house
and find out what | can as soon as this

"May | come to look on?" | said.
"Of course l don't want to be in your
way, and the result of the business.
whatever it is, will be to your credit
alone. But l am curious"
"Come, then, by all means. The cab
will be Il four wheeler, and there will
be plenty of room."
Gold street was a short street OF
private houses of very fair size and OF
q half vanished pretension to gentilitv.
We drove slowly through, and Leamy
had no difficulty in pointing out the
house wherein he had been paid f5 for
carrying Il bag. At the end the cab
turned the corner and stopped. while
Hewitt wrote q short note to an Off
cial of Scotland Yard.
"Take this note" he instructed
Leamy, ito Scotland Yard in the cab
and then GO home. l will pay the
cabman now"
The cab rolled off, and Hewitt and
l strolled back along Gold street. Il

while we can. In a few hours | ex-
pect the police will have him, and his
