CHAPTER XII. * that, there was tween this man ' ll ' l ' l Ml"'’ 1 remembered a portion of it. Tiie letter I had found came A */£iJyV| once more into my mind. It > * was as if thh ciiaraeters were 1 written with fingers of fire , uiy brain, and now I mj could see a new flight upon , . Yjs® their rendering. •3M ioSffiß Theodore Parker: I positively and for the last time re- . M8y)) fuse to.grant you the interview ivimE you so, impudently demand. The a\W past has not been'blotted from 4 m ' n d>‘ 1 am inexorable —the, WgnV same ■ yesterday, to-day. and to- ■' morrow. Never dare address me again in any shape. I look upon <®)l| you as one dead, a Abraham Seabury. VoW llow could I have been so. (m)) blind before as not to see the y truth? It was apparent now in every line. Looking back, I could see some terriHfc ble quarrel between these two men, each of whom no doubt possessed a strong temper. Perhaps Lconore had been the cause of it all, and the result had been that Theodore was banished from home with his father's eurso upon his wretched g^head. P From time to time he had sought an interview’, but * the old Doctor had U perhaps misconstrued the tone of his' letter, and deemed him impudent, when perhaps lie was only determined. Then had come a dark resolve on the part of the wretched son to avenge his wrongs, and perhaps gain the fortune of his father at one fell blow. , Ho had done it. Could it be possible that h this was the terrible foe Dr. Seabury k had dreaded for years? I could hardly w believe it, and yet the evidence pointed that way.s Whoever had killed him had been the cause of his constant dread. , While these thoughts were flitting my mind, I sat there watching my man, and trying to analyze the series of emotions that flitted across his face. It was beyond my power. The man writhed under my indictment, and I could not see ..how anything other than guilt could "make him do so. f- He spoke first, and his voice was not so strong as before. “Doctor, am I to understand that you ► ■'TSteliove me guilty of my father's death?” “I am bound so to Relieve, sir.” * “This is a terrible accusation to bring against a man.” tr at loggerheads with your father. In the i dead of night you sneak like a thief to the house, and climb tho vines 1< ading to your father's window. He is-found dead —murdered, beyond all* shadow of doubt. Now, sir, what would it be reasonable to suppose?” A pain erbssed his face. “I see the force of- your accusation, Doctor, and yet I solemnly declare to you, as heaven is my* witness, that 1 no tin iny father's chamber on that iHftt —I am innocent of this terrible enmo. ” Bk “What! dare you deny that you were I^^Lpresont—that you climbed the vines as I said, leaving the mark of your on the white window ledge, and a letter from Dr. Seabury at the ffi I “I deny none of these, simply stating I am innocent of the crime.” To say that 1 was amazed would he S§ it rather feebly—l was almost L by the situation. the man who had turned out to Mi be the old Doctor’s son admitted that ho had climbed the vinos and looked in at the window of his father’s room, but emdenied going further. Hi Ah! a sudden thought: had he seen Anything to cause him sudden alarm? idea came witli resistless force. K would account in a measure for his HHHong emotions. thought I had to dismiss instantfor it threw mo off the track, and | me back to the old Suspicion enterHHbcrtaincd by Mr. Koteham—that Leoin a fit of mental insanity, had done the deed wiiich had created such confusion in the mind of the old detectivo. Hi Os course this was but a scheme on his part to evade punishmont. The man was capable of much cun—l saw that he was no ordinary but that ho possessed strong Hbers. to the attack, I once more BHpushed him hard. "You have not acquitted yourself in H' my mind, sir. Remember, the charge H against yon is a terrible one. It would H serve your interests well were you to tell ■Kue the real nature of your visit to that V Bkouse.” ,

. .'J.!.... ' ■ ' — My words impressed him. I saw (hat he was thinking deeply. "Am 1 to understand that unless I prove my innocence to you, Doctor, I shall be arrested, charged with this heinous and most unnatural crime?* “You aro so to understand. a. “So be it. I cannot tell,you why I climbed to that window, but simply repeat my former statement that I was not in the room, and am innocent of the deed.” Young Seabury spoke like a man who had made up his mind as to the course he should pursue—his rudder was lashed and thero should be no change. Naturally I sought,for a motive in this most singular action. It was hard to find. Two courses seemed open to me, and I could take my choice. The first concerned his own guilt, and somehow it came hard lor me to apply his strange actions to him here. I qould understand how he might deny everything blankly, if guilty, and swear that he was not within a mile of the spot at the time of the murder, but to admit that he had even climbed the vines and looked into his father's room, at the same time vehemently asserting his innocence, was a 'piece of strategy on the part of a guilty man that I could not readily grasp. On the other hand another picture was presented to my view. Suppose this young man was all that ho should be —that he had gone to the house to make a personal appeal to his father, or forffome such reason, and, upon the old doctor’s window had looked 1 upon a sight that had frozcTirthe marrow in his bones—was he the man, then, to take guilt upon his own shoulders rather than have it fall on the head of one ho loved? I looked at him critically with this new thought in my brain. As I have said before, his face Vas a strongly marked one—there were no signs of weakness there. He was capable of great things, either for good or evil, as the spirit might sway him. “Will you not tell me what you saw there, Seabury?” ! asked. He shook his head. “I cannot, Doctor. ” “Meaning you will not?” “Take it as you please. My lips are. sealed upon that subject.” My interest was bounding on apace. I could hard keep it in sight. “If I understand you correctly, you acknowledge having looked into the room ? of the old Doctor?” "I do not deny it.” “And you saw something that occurred within that chamber?” He did not answer. I could see his teeth close hard, and he had the appearance of a man who was sternly resolved upon his course. “Do you refuse to tell me what it was 6 you saw?” 1 “I have nothing to say.” "Perhaps you forget that your life may pay the penalty oT this refusal to speak and elorar yourself. ” “I forget nothing. Would to heaven I could forget! At the same time, if it must come, so be it. lam resigned. As the Arabs say, Kismet—it is fate.” I was becoming more and more interested in this man. He was a character to study with profit. In fact, Ido not know that I ever met one who gave me more of a chance for observation. “Sincepyou are determined upon this course we jwill drop thas question; but perhaps you will not object to answering* certain others of minor import-' anco. ” I was going to beat about the bush, and perhaps discover in an indirect way what he refused to divulg<§ > openly. “Anything I can answer I shall do so with the greatest of pleasure, ” he said, quietly. “You admit entering the grounis by means of the wall?” f “Yes.” i “You made your way direct to ta foot of the vines, retraced your path to the wall, and then back once more to -the side of the house. What made you do this thing?” “You arc mistaken, Doctor. ” “In what?” “I passed through the garden only once each way. ” “There were two sets of tracks there. I saw them myself.” “Then some one else made the other.” “Impossible. They were near enough alike to have been made by the same man.” “And yet I stand ready to swear that I went direct from the wall to the house, and when I left I followed the same route.” - He was quite determined in his manner. I could not say that he was telling a lie; at the same time I felt sure he must he very much mistaken. Possibly at the time he hardly knew what he was doing, and had fled from the spot only to return again, drawn thither by some terrible fascination. To assist my investigation, I pretended that I had fallen in with his idea. “Then you think some one else must have been In the garden on the same night, and almost followed your course to the vines. ” “Since you affirm that there were two sets of tracks, it must be so. I made but one.” . “Let me see your boot. ” He held up his foot. It was a very small one for a man of his size, and not unlike a woman's. “That will do. Now tell me, whilemra were hovering around your father’s placp that night, did you notice any suspicious character about?” He started at my words, as though they offered him a loophole of escape. “Yes, I did. ” / “Tell pie about it . ” X . I did not take any stock in what he was about to say, for I believed he was simply jumping at the bait offered. At the same time, to deceive him, I pretended to be greatly interested. “As 1 passed out through the break -in the stone wall I heard a sound near me, and turning my head I saw the figure of a man of low stature, standing with his back against tho wall. “I noticed no more, for I was not in a condition to care for such things. His head was bent low as I passed him, and I cob Id not have seen his face had I tried.” , “You don't know whether he went into the grounds of- not?” “I couldn’t say. It would be very' likely, if he was bent on burglary, or anything else.” “Another question, Seabury. Have you ever carried any burglar’s tools?” His face flushed, either with real or assumed indignation, but, biting his lips, he controlled, himself. “Never in my life, sir.” “Let me describe a tool that I found under tho vines, and tell me whether you haVe ever seen it. ” I described it accurately. Ho shook liis head as I finished. / “I give you my word of honor. Doctor, I never even saw such a tool, and certainly never possessed one. If you found that among the vines, dopend upon it some one mounted them either before or after I had been there. ” If I could believe his words, then a third trail had opened up before me; but I was not yet ready to change my mind. • Until I did so, this man was the guilty party, although it was far from my intention to say so, as I had no Intention now of arresting him, and wished to keep him quiet. Just about this time I began to feel ' the need of counsel. # If I could only see Mr. Ketchau, and

have a-good hour’s talk with hint, perhaps there would be a straightening out of the kinks that were beginning to bother me. Strange things had occurred to me since last I saw him. What was he doing—pursuing the trail that brought up with Leonore? My heart was in my mouth at the thought that possibly what I had to tell him would be only strengthening the toils about the poor girl. Nevertheless he should know all. For the last time, I turned upon the other. “Theodore fleabury, tell me truly, if I come to you with positive evidence that I know who drove that blade to the heart of your father—if I prove that your silence is no longer ifecessary, and that, in speaking, you will do no harm, and only clear away some of this dreadful mystery^—will you then tell me what you saw when, hanging to the window-ledge, you looked into the chamber of yoUr father?” “Yes, Doctor, I promise you that.” “Solemnly?” “On my honor as a man. ” “I have no more to say. Do you mean to leave the city?” “No, sir. If I am needed I will be found, and although I may be punished for a crime I never committed, no human power can make me tell that which I have sworn never to reveal. ” “I will say good-by for the present.” I put out my hand, and he took it. “Doctor, how does Leonore stand it?” he asked, with some confusion in his face. » I knew afterward what this meant, but as I hurried from him I felt that this question was but an indication of his had dared all to win her. CHAPTER XIII. My intention was to seek out Abner Ketcham, the great detective, and laying all I had learned before him, ask for advice in the premises. My mind had become so confused tba;t I hardly knew what I was about Mo&t certainly I needed a consultation with some one. I knew where his office was, and in this direction I bent my steps as soon as I had left young Seabury. Although I was seeking aid, I had reason to be proud of my work. Perhaps the old detective might feel called upon to compliment me, something he seldom did. Treached his office. R rap on the door brought him out. “Ah, Doctor, is it you?” he asked, while his grim face lighted up. He ushered me into his “den. ” It was really the first time I had ever been within the sanctum, and I must confess that I looked around me with a great deal of interest. The room was a regular old bachelor's apartment. Besides this, it had an interest for me on, account of the many queer trophies hung upon the walls—things that were doubtless eoniiected with all the greatest criminal cases for many years past, in which Mr. Ketcham had figured prominently. I looked around me for a short time, and then coming to my senses, realized that Mr. Ketc,ham was watching me. “Now, Doctor, what do you come after?” “I have beeli uneasy, sir, with regard to Leonore. Tell me, have you made, out the ease any worse against her?” lie smiled peculiarly. “Your interest in her is pardonable, Doctor. I really hope you will not be disappointed in your expectations. I have discovered certain new things, but cannot say that they settle the case. ” “I am glad to hear that.” “Meantime, how is it with you?”. “What do you mean Mr. Ketcham?” “You have made some discoveries. ” “How do you know that?” “Perhaps I guessed at it from your manner, or, to get nearer the truth, I have run across your trail several times.” I saw that there was no use trying to keep anything back from this man. For the first.time the thought came into my head that perhaps he would be able to return my Roland with an Oliver—that he already knew much more than 1 would be able to tell him. At any rate lie would have to give me credit for my discoveries. So I began the,story. Nothing was withheld, from the time I had left him up to my meeting with Theodore. The old detective evidently enjoyed the story. He lay back in his chair, with his eyes fastened upon me. Now and then, at somq interesting part of my story, his face would light up and perhaps he would put a few questions to me. His interest was greatest, however, when I told how 1 had succeeded in finding Theodore, and the manner in which I sent the question home to him. Then Mr. Ketcham leaned forward in his chair and seemed to hold his breath. I could feel rather than see his eyes fixed intently upbn me. As I revealed Theodore's secret he chuckled aft though greatly tickled. “Good, Doo(pr; 1 commend your skill at running l a trail,” he said. I finished, at length, and told him why I had sought him out. “What you have given to me, Doctpr, is not all news, and yet there have been some points in it of great value. Again allow me to commend your* qualities in the detective line. You have met with astonishing success.” I bowed. “Praise from Sir Hubert is praise indeed. ” “I suppose what yon want now is my opinion on your discoveries?” “Yes, in part. I would not object to hearing what you have dono in that line yourself, Mr. Ketcham. ” He smiled at my words. “Your enthusiasm in this case certainly entitles you to every consideration, Doctor, and at my hands you shall certainly receive it.” I waited for him to speak further, but it was some time ere he did so. Perhaps he was pondering over the matter. “Now, Doctor, listen to me. In one way it seems as though this young man may have been guilty of thp crime, and yet I am inclined to believe he speaks the truth in the matter. “At the same time he is morally certain.that when ho looked into that room he saw something that alarmed him. * • v “You see that he refuses to tell what ft was he saw. I judge that he is not the njan to take much care of his own life, but a secret involving one he loves would never be torn from him. “Now, the great question is: what did he see that troubles him so intensely, and which, ho says, the rack could not tear from his lips? “Lot me tell you. “He looked upon Leonore, the girl he loved, in mad frenzy bending over his father and sending tho blade home to his heart. “That was the sight which frozeothe blood in his veins and made his heart stand still. No wonder he hardly Itnew what ho di<T“§fter that, and went back and forth between the wall and, tho house. “Think of it—ho saw the girl he loved murder his father! No wonder, then, he declares that he is dumb. Sooner than tell the truth, and have Leonore convicted by his testimony, he would take crime upon his own shoulders. That, is the kind of man he is. ” “You haVe seen him, Mr. Ketcham?" I said, suddenly. “Yes, I have seen him, but without knowing positively who he was. ”

"You don’t think he will give us the ~ ■lip?” I “No danger of his running away, as long as she seems in danger. ” “So I believed. Now, how much stock ! do you take in this theory of yours. Mr. Ketcham?” He looked at me and laughed outright. ‘ “Come, Doctor, you read me too well. Haven’t I convinced you that I believe I have been ou the true trail all along?” y - , “No, sir, you have not. You persist in following it, and at the same time 1 past out feelers in other directions. I believe you have other irons in the fire. ” ! “There is no use trying to dodge you, i I see, Doctor. Question me if you will. ” l “First of all, I would like to know if 1 you really believe Theodore saw the girl • in the act of killing his father?” ‘ “Honestly then, I do not He could not have kept from leaping into the room and either endeavoring to stay her arm or else confronting her afterward, and he swears he has never been in that room.” That was one point gained. I returned to the attack. “What do you suppose his object was in climbing the vines?” “That is a mystery. I see two reasons that might have induced him to act in that way. It may be he was bound to see his father, and force proofs upon him that would show how unjust the old physician had been all along. Then, again, perhaps he thought he was climbing to the room of Leonore. and that she would be at the window waiting for him. ” . “That is a queer idea. ” “Not so queer as you think. Look at this piece of paper. I found it in the grounds, where it had been lost.” The rain had washed it, but the writing was still legible. It ran simply: I must see you, in spite of all. If no other way appears. I shall climb up to your window at night. This suspense will drive me mad. Theodore. I looked up at Mr. Ketcham. “Sure enough; your latter theory in this respect is the true one. Still, there is a little thing I don’t understand. ” “I know just what it is, and can put you in the way of enlightenment. Notice the slip of paper you hold, again, and you will see that the Jfrp"lF turned over. ” “Who did that?” . “It 'was I. Cast your eyes upon it now. ” I turned the paper around. As I did so, I could not keep from uttering a cry of astonishment. There was cause for it. Only one line of three words greeted my eyes, but it gave a terrible shock. That line made clear many things. It also lifted a weight from my heart, and I knew just where I stood. What was it then that met my eyes upon this piece'of paper to create this sudden revulsion of feeling within me. “Leonore —my wife!” [to be continued.] THAT TIRED FEELING.

Chicago, 111. It is a stratrge coincidence that ex« actlv 100 years ago young girls in London were in constant terror of meeting the “Jack the Ripper” of that day. He attacked and wounded several ladies in several parts of the town, cutting their garments and gashing them in the body with a sharp-pointed instrument, although he never went as far as murder. In April, 1790, a large reward was offered for the apprehension of “the Mon* ster.” as he was popularly called.
