The master sees Taker, and assumes
an air of deep sorrow.
"Von must pardon mo for leaving

lie climbs into his buggy, observing
that tli professional oqulpige of the
dnetot . near.
A t iRht enter his mind: why not
wait an 1 i ee the do -tor. and tell him
v. hat he has discovered? He will do
n. Ho drlus some distance up the mad
and waits. In a short time he hears
tlm. sound of horses' feet upon the
road. The doctor is approaching
him.
"Dr. C;areau'J"
"That is m name," leining In his
horse.
"I would like to speak to you for a
few moments."
"I th.nk 1 can grant you your wish.
Tic your horse to the hack of my ear

'I will drive slow, so there will he no
danger of tiecldcnt. .lust draw the
rein through the back of my seat,"
The deductive does so, and Is soon
sitting beside the doctor.
"I have not the honor of your ac
quaintance," he says with a smile.
"I am more fortunate you see."
answered Taktr. "I know you."
"Yes. so I see!" Ilo looks inqtiir
Sngly nt his companion.
"My name is Taker Hannibal
Ortnn Taker. lama detective."
"Ves?"
"1 ha.ve been veiling Adrian Dyke
you have, also."
"Yes. In a professional capacity.
Am I to surmise that your visit was the
same?"
"Perhaps. The aunt of Mr. Dvke is

"She. Is dead," gravelr.
"Dead!"
"Yes, she had breathed her last be
fore. 1 arrived. She leaves a large for
tune." "To Adrian Dyke?"
"I cannot saw I suppose he will
come in for a. siiare of It. At any rate,
his has been very attentive to her dur

"Sho has made his house her home?"
' "Ves."
"Ah! this is whore the man o.Npe-ts
to get the money to relieve his pecuni

much cut up over it," says Tuner.
"lie seems s ."
"Sad thing, these sudden deaths."
"Very," with comprev-cd lips.
"Have you been the regular medical
attendant?"
"No. Mvpaitner. Dr. Wilbur, had
lvocn her physician. You know his sad

"Ves, I am interested In It. A
fiend could only have robbed such a

"True, but he shall be punished; lie
i already in prison."
"1 know it; I arrested him."
"You?"
"Yes, T ottered mv services to your
worthy Chief of Police."
"Allow me to thank you, sir, for
your assistance." The young doctor
speaks warmly to the man beside him.
"Oil, that's all right. I always try
to bring the guilty to justice."
"Did ho confess anything say any
thing that would indicate his guilt?''
"So, on the contrary ho exhibited
signs which would lead one to believe
him Innocent, lie firmly protested

"Did .you find any of the stolen prop

He takes it eigerlv. looking through
it by the faint li;:la of fading day.
"Yes it is tin' missing b.mk," he
says s.nlly: "the book which Dr. Wil

"It is mysterious."
"I shall ui'tnvel It." Then, slyly.
"Don't you think there isa chance for

"Yes. I dii -a great chain o. I shall

He is going to carry out the lust
wish of his loved partner the instruc

this to tho detective, however.
"Do so; call on him. He will be glad
to see you then. A f tor you sen Franklin
Dyke, If you have any suspicion of his
guilt, I shall say yon aro no judge of
character."
The doctor smiles.
"I Hatter myself upon thnt point,"
ho frays. "I consider I can read human
nature pretty well, I have been trying
to read you."
"Well, with what Mieee-b?"
"You are u shrewd, deep man. a
faithful friend, a relentless, unforgiv

take my own buggy now. You will
keep what I have told you. I have
trusted you."
"You can trust me, sir. Do you wish
to keep ihis IxKih?"
"Well. I would rather do .o."
The doctor hands him the book.
Taker jumps out into the inlddleof tho
road. Tim doctor leans forward and
sa,s:
"And one thing more. Mr. Taker. (
It Is proven that i'rauklin Dyke is in

passed in prison. " And If you feriet
out tile guilty one. and unravel this
mystery, I shall take it upon 1113 self to

He starts to drive away.
A sudden thought strikes Taker.
He runs alter i.ie en 'Tinge.
"Ilo. doctor;" he shouts.
The carriage stops-the doctor looks
out tho side.
"Do you know when the will is to

"What w 111?"
"Tho will of the aunt."
"Oil, M:ss Dykns? Tho day after
to-morrow, after the funeral."
"Thank you. Coo I night."
'C.ood night."
"Tho day after to-inonow Satur

can hear that will lead,' mutters
Taker.
Ho climbs Into his buggy, and chir
rups to tho hor.'e. He look's at his

Until Mlasand his wife are deeply
interested in the unfo: tunate young

The meal is being eaten in the

Mieiilf issi'tting near, waiting to con
duet him to his coll when ho shall have
tiiiishcd. The young niiin drinks his
cotrie. and then takes a note irom his
pocket. ilancingovcr it ho mutters,
as if to himself.
"It is near the time he says ,ie will

The note reads as follows:

He finishes his meal, and is soon
under lock and key in his cell.
Ho paces the narrow confines of
his prison house, his brow wrinkled,
his eyes thoughtful. All! footsteps

luother, perhaps.
The door opens wlih a mighty creak

Adrian Dyke, but another. A man he
lias seen in-fore one hu has mot the
morning he came to West Chester
Dr. thireaii. He stands In the center
of his cell surprised. Why should this
muniisil linn? li snow so much

Watson leaves them alone, he knows
the youugdo tor and can trust him.
"You aro doubtless surprised to see
me?" the young physician beg ns.
"Kather. Itellevlng me guilty of
the minder of your partner, 1 should
thought you would have shunned me."
"You have not been proven guilty
as yet; you have not been tried. Yon
may be Innocent."
"I am innocent!"
"I hope so. indeed I do. I met your
friend. Mr. Taker last night; I prom
ised him I would call upon you. Ho
is positive of your innocence."
"Yes, ho is a true friend; vou say you
met him ?"
"Yes, upon the road between your
brother's house and town."
Tlie man starts forward eagerly.
"He had been to Adrian's honso?"
" Yes, I had also been called there,"
"What for?" quickly, abruptly.
"Your aunt has been taken serious
ly ill. Tho news that you had been
arrested, supposed to be guilty of a
horrible crime, hastened on her end."
"Then she is" horrified.
"Dead? yes. she breathed her las', at
an early hoar last night."
The young physician speaks sadly,
the other drops his head in his two
hands. He is grcath agitated at hear

father's sister, hi tho years gone by,

Dead! but will not her death raise his

of the joint ttullle association of
Kastern t runic lines, recently formed
tu New York city, will bo boirun im-
mediately by the government. The
decision of the Interstate Commcrco
soiiiimssiou, Homing inc association
to be 11 violation of interstate com
meiec law, has been forwarded by
Attorney Cencral Harmon to tho
I'nlted States district attorney
of New York, with an official
communication. The attorney, no
doubt, will endeavor nt once to pre
vent the carrying out of the agree
ment. The procedure will be by
injunction against the members of the
association. This, it Is assumed, will
be served on several of the roads that
are members, and which me within
tho jurisdiction of New York state.
The case, after decision by the United
States court, no matter which side
wins, will be taken to the court of
appeals and ultitiiit'cly to the United
Slates Supremo court.
The serving of injunctions against
the roads within one jurisdiction, that
of Kti-dcrn New York, is made because
of the objection to tlie multiplicity of
suits and the consequent enormous
cost to the government. At tlie same
time it is possible that other district
attorneys may bo advised Inter by tho
Depiiitinents of Justice to take steps
against the roads within their juris
diction. The action in this casc.it Is said. will
depend materially upon the dcelslon

tion agreement ease now pending for
argument In the I'nlted States Su
preine court. The latter case was
brought first in the federal court of
Kansas and was appealed by the gov
ernment, which was lost and appealed
to the I'lilted States Supremo court,
where It will be argued in March.
Attorney Cietieral Harmon l.s expected
to initio tho government's contentions
