as kind hearted as he was enterpri-

ment he pushed himself to the front
and with the politest of French bows,

In modest tones she thanked him

fefsd him the ten dollar bill that had
been returned to her by the chamber
maid.

He thereupon went below. The.
sister. he thought, is not responsible
for the sins of her brother; besides,
the making Of her acquaintance might
give him better opportunity for dis
covering the whereabouts of the man
he was seeking. In his Imagination
he was sure that she was going to
meet him.
This was his opportunity, thought
he. He would ingratiate himself into
the good graces of this young woman
and II possible learn the whereabouts
of her brother.
The oily-tongued detective had no
great difficulty in securing the coveted
prize. Steamboat clerks are always
wise enough to reserve an extra ticket
or two for special purposes.
When Merito returned to the grand
salon and handed the young lady her
tickets she was profuse in her thanks
and expressed her deep obligation. AS
she held the tickets between her
jeweled fingers she beamed a smile
and displayed set of pearly white
teeth encircled by pair of ruby lips.

and that she deeply appreciated his
attention. But she could not take any
decisive step in SO important a mat
ter without first consulting her father.
She felt that 1t was her first duty to
save her brother. To accomplish this
she was ready to sacrifice life itself.
Merito. never at loss for a sub
terfuge. proposed to interest himself
and secure a condonement of her
brothers offense through the assist.
ance Of the Italian consul at New
York. This ray of light was present
ed In fine Italian style and must have
sounded hopeful to the ears of Miss
Brownie. Her face now fairly beamed
with Joy as she assured him she
would willingly give all she possessed
in the world to effect such result,
She promised to marry him should he
succeed In saving her brother from
prosecution for his past offenses.
The day following this l received at
my New York offlce letter marked
personal" which read as follows:
United States Hotel. Boston. Mass.
my Dear Chief:
Il write to inform you that ar.
rived here this morning in company
with the sister of Brownie. Through
cunning made her acquaintance and
learned everything. She is on the way
to meet her brother Thomas. She tells
me that he intends to remain outside

home and ned to Canada. where she
was expecting to meet him
Learning this, the detective was
deeply interested. not only in the
brother, but in the sister al well. In
deed. she was the most attractive per-
son he had ever before met. To his
mind she was everything that woman
should be. Wealthy. educated and af-
fectionate. she was brave and roman
tic enough to venture out alone and
battle the cold world for the purnpse
of redeeming her waywnrd brother.
So gentle and unassuming did she ap-
pear that he was sure she had a
heart overfowing with love.
As these thoughts came meandering
through his brain he saw In his eager
ness the opportunity Of his life. He
would somehow be instrumental In
saving the brother and thus win the
fair girls gratitude-perhaps her love.
He felt sure that he could trust to her
generous heart to forgive him for de-
ceiving her by palming himself on as
the son OF nobleman.
When the couple arrived in Boston
they went at once to the United States
hotel, where they took breakfast to-
gether. The detective now thought
Miss Brownie more fascinating than
ever and at the first opportunity he
threw discretion to the winds and be-
gan wooing In the most approved
Italian style. Pressing his suit with
an ardor more impetuous than con-
ventional. he begged her to become
his wife.

questsd her to procure a stateroom
and passage ticket to the city Of
Boston.
A few minutes afterwards the cham
bermaid returned and informed the
young lady that the staterooms on the
boat were all engaged.
The young lady seemed greatly dis
appointed and said 1t was sorry
predicament for her to be placed In;
and If the deep drawn sigh she ut
tered was an index of her feelings at
that moment. she was not only greatly
disappointed. but at a loss to know
what to do.
Merito. who was near at hand. was

to conceal. He had learned every
thing. She was young and sensitive
maiden who had courageously ven
tured from her fathers home with
the purpose of meeting a much loved
but hayward brother. How. then.
could he help sympathizing with her?
Even though his representations in
regard to himself were falsely made
for the purpose of obtaining her con-
fidence, he believed he was sufficiently
shrewd to square himself with her at
the proper time.
AS deception is ofttimes a part OF
the detectives stock in trade, he
thought there could be no great harm
In it after all was understood. 1t
seems that he told her the secret of
his being the son of an Italian noble
man of great wealth and that he was
travelling incog to crafty his curiosity.
While the story he told was wholly
false, ne was quite good looking
enough and sufficiently genteel In ap-
pearance to bear out the statement.
From what occurred 1t was apparent
that the young woman herself was
somewhat impressed and quite uncer-
tain as to the true status of the de-
tective.
Her story as told to Merito appeared
straightforward and truthful. Her
mother was dead. Her father, al

bowed down with grief and very much

government officers, who charged him
with dealing in counterfeit money.

adorned her ears.
The detectives heart was throbbing
wildly. He could scarcely contain
himself. 1t was case of love at first
sight The hot blood Of the Italian
was surging to his head. He was quite
bewilde-ed.
Collecting his scattered senses he
was soon able to convince the young
woman that he was a man of conse-
quence, and that while their meeting
was but casual. he was greatly de-
lighted because of the opportunity of
fered to make her acquaintance.
1t was late in the evening when they
bade each other good night with a
promise to meet again on the arrival
of the steamer at Fall River in the
