The 10.ter, however, was not to be found in the desk, nor was it in the sitting room; they tried the bed- room, but with no better result; so Madge was nearly giving up the search in despair, when suddenly Calton'e eye fell on the waste paper basket, which, by some unaccount• able reason, they bad over -looked in their search, The basket was half full, and, on looking et it, a sudden thnught struck the lawyer. He rang the bell, and suddenly Mrs lampson made her appearance. "How long has that waste paper basket been standing like that?" he asked pointing to it. "It bein' the only fault I 'ad to find with 'iw," said 11rs Sampson, e bein' that untidy that 'e a never let me dean it out until 'e told me i'ussonly. 'Esau' as 'ow 'e throwed things illto it as 'e might 'ave to look up again; an' I 'aven't touched for n • it more nor ata weeks, 'o pin' you won't think we a bad house- keeper, it bein' 'is own wish—heia' fond of litter an' Bich like." "Six weeks," repeated Calton, with a look at Madge. "Al, and lie got the lettet tour weeks ago. Depend upon it, we shall find it :here." 1M1adga• gave a cry, and, falling on "::er knees, emptied the ,basket out an the floor, and both she and Cal- ton were soon as busy among the ragtnents of paper as though they were ragpickers. "'Opin' they ain't orf their 'eads," uturmured Mrs Sampson, as she went to the door, "but it looks like it, they bein'----" Suddenly a cry broke from Madge as- she drew out of the mass of paper a half burnt 'letter, written .1n thick and creamy looking paper. "At last," she cried, rising off her knees, aad smoothing it out, ".1 knew he bad not destroyed it," "Pretty nearly, however," said F,a1ton, as his eye glanced rapidly over it, "it's almost useless as it is, seeing there's no. name to it." ' IIe took it over to the window and spread it 'out upon. the table. It was dirty, and half burnt, but still it was a clew. "There's not much to bo gained f.rom that, I'm afraid," said Madge, sadly. "It shows be had an ap- pointment—but where?" Calton did not answer, but, lean- ing his head on his hands, stared hard at the paper. At last he jump- ed up with a cry— "I have it," be said in an excited tone, "Look at that paper; see grow creamy and white it is, and, above all, look at the printing in the corner --'OT VILLA, OORAK." "Then be Went down to Toorak?" "In an hoer, and back again-•• hardly," "Then it was not written from Toorak?" "No, it was written in one of the Melbourne back slums." "Hew do you know?" "Look at the girl whobrought•it," � said Calton, quickly. Atdisreput- able woman, one far Wore likely to come . from the back - slums than 'Toorak. As to the paper, three months ago there was a robbery at Toorak, and • this is some 'of .the paper that was stolen ..by the thieves." Madge said nothing, but her sparkling eyes • and nervous trembl- ing of toe hands showed, her ex- .. itement. "I will 3ee.a detective this' even' ing," said Calton, exultingly, !'find out where this letter .came from, and go and sco who wrote it. We'll save him yet," he said, placing the precious letter carefully in his pock- etbook. "You think that you will be able to find the woman who wrote that?" "Hum," said the lawyer,,looking thoughtful, "she may bo dead, as the letter says she is in a dying condition. I.lowever, if I can find the woman a ho delivered the letter at tire club, and who Waited. for Fitzgerald at the corner of Bourke and Russel streets, that will be suf- ficient. All I want to preve.i.s that he was not in the hansom,.cab with ‘Vbyt.e."!, "And do you think y'oit. can dq that?" "Depends upon this ,lgt'ter," said .'altos., enigmatically 'ta ping his pocketbook with his finger, "I'll tell you to -morrow." Shortly afterwards tl.ey left the house, and when Calton put. Madge safely into the St. Kilda train her heart felt lighter than it had done since Fitzgerald's wrest..

One was fire and the other water, so when they came together there was r i sure to bo doable. Killip, n his outward appearance, was quite dif- ferent from 'Crerby, being tall and ale• der,whereas the other was abort and stout.

At 8 o'clock on that night the soft footed and soft voiced detective presented binteelf et. Calton's office, and found true lawyer impatiently waiting for him. Kilsip closed the door softly, and than taking a seat opposite to Calton waited for bite ►IP4 *id 14004 it OA 00 014 4n41I►Il, cowpanton' by the 4441n1I it 9140 (u11y guided Mgt oirtfalf *mg the `l' is vs* wr io , 'htl lay. t mere 'Ieiticll,{Rf ibi ld his v �` t1 a for , *I , t. coul feel _tl f. • `, r 4:14100'were fi f' slim+: plr IR s 41444- WV,, V1. , l3C ed . lot 1 I exrzwining the: paper.

"When was this letter delivered?" "Shortly before 12 o'clock, at the I tective. But it was this very smile �to speak. The lawyer, however, Melbourne, by agi,wb who, front that was Mr Gorby's greatest aid ; first handed -him a cigar, and then what the waiter saw of her, appears in getting information, as people 1 producing a bottle of whiskey and to be a disreputable individual— were more ready to tell a kindly two glasses from some mysterious you will see it says bearer will wait and apparently simple man like recess he filled one and pushed it him at Bourke street, and as an- hiru all they knew than a sharp towards the detective. Kilsip ac- other street is mentioned, and as looking fellow like Kilsip, whose ears and eyes seemed always on the alert. They each had their followers and admirers, but bot'. men cordially detested one another, seldom meet- ing without a quarrel. When Gor- by, therefore, had the hansom cab murder case put into his hands, the soul of Kilsip was smitten with envy, and when Fitzgerald was ar- rested,and all theevidenee collected by Govby seewed to point so con- clusively to guilt, Kilsip writhed in secret over the t'r'iumph of his en- emy. Though he would only have been too glad to have said Gorby had got hold of the wrong man, yet the evidence was so conclusive that such a thought had never entered his head until he received a note from Mr Calton, asking him. to call 'clock aevening at 8 0 's office that , at his with reference to the hansom cab murder. Kilsip' knew that Calton was counsel for the prisoner, and instantly guessed that a clew had been discovered, which he was wanted to follow up, and which might prove the prisoner's • inno- cence. Full of this idea, he had determined to devote himself, heal•t and soul,to whatever Calton wanted him to do, and if he only could prove Gorby wrong,wbat a triumph it would be. He was so pleased with the possibility of such a thing that, accidentally meeting his rival, he asked him to have a glass. As such a thing had not occurred be- fore, Gorby was somewhat suspi- cious of such sudden bospitality,but as he flattered himself that be was more than a match for Kilsip, both mentally and physically,lie accepted the invitation. "Alt!" said Kilsip, in his soft,low voice, rubbing bis lean, white hands together, ,as they sat over their drinks; "you are a lucky man to have laid your hands on that hansom cab murderer so quickly." "Y -es; I'flatter Myself I did mat - ago it pretty w 11n said Garby, lighting his pipe. "I had no idea that it would be so simple—though, mind you, 'it required a lot of thought before I got a proper start," "I suppose you're pretty sure he's the man you want?" pursued Kilsip, softly, with a brilliant flash of his black eyes. "Pretty sure, indeed! retorted Mr Gorby, scornfully, "there ain't no pretty sure about. it. 1'd take my Bible oath he's the man. He and Whyte hated one another. Ile says toWhyte,'I'll kill you if I've got to do it in the open street.' Re meets Whyte drunk, a fast which he acknowledges himself; he clears out, and the cabman swears he comes back; then he gets into the cab with a living man, and when he'comee out leaves a dead one; he drives to last Melbourne and gets into the' liouso.at a time which his landlady can prove—lust the time that cab- would take to drive from the grammar school on the St. Kilda road. If you ain't a fool, Kilsip, you'll see as there's no doubt about it." �r+1t hilar "It looks all square enough," said Kilelp,who wondered what evidence Calton could have found to contra- dict such a .plain statement. "And what's his defense?" "Mr Calton is the only man as knows that," answered Gorby, fin- ishing his drink; "but clever and all as he is, he can't put anything in that can go against my evidence." "Don't you be too sure of that," sneered Kilsip, whose soul was de- voured with envy. "Oh, but I am," retorted Gorby, getting as red as a turkey cock at the, sneer, "You're jealous,you are, because you haven't got a finger in the pie." ufvvla.litiWSLr; cepted these little attentions 'with utmost gravity, yet they were not without their effect on him, as the keen eyed lawyer saw. Caitin was a great believer in diplomacy,and he practiced what he preached, and knowing that Kilsip bed that feline nature which likes to be stroked and, made much of, be paid him these little attentions, which he knew would make the de- tective willing to do everything in his power to help him. Calton a's1 knew the dislike that Kilsip enter- tained for Gorby, and so, by dexter- ous management, lie calculated upon twisting him, clever as he was, round his finger, and as subsequent events showed, he had not reckoned wrongly. Having thus got into a sympathetic frame of mind and in a humor to bend his best energies to the work bo wanted him to do, Cal- ton started the conversation, "I suppose," he said,leaning back in his chair and watching the wreaths of blue smoke curling from his cigar, "I suppose yon know all the ins and outs of the hansom cab murder?" "I should rather think so," said Kilaip, with a curious light in his queer eye. "Why, Gorby does noth- ing but brag about it and his smart - rites in catching the supposed nrur derer!" "Alia!" said Calton, leaning for- ward, and putting bis arms ou the. table. "Supposed murderer. Eh Does that mean that he hasn't been convicted by a jury,or do you think Fitzgerald is innocent?" Kilsip stared hard at the lawyer, in a vague kind of way, slowly rub- bing his bands together. "%Veil," he said at length, in a deliberate manner, "before i got your note I was convinced Gorby had got hold of the right man, but when I heard that you wanted to see me,and knowing you are defend- ing the prisoner, I guessed that you must have found something in his fayo which r u to look o e after." y want m "Right!" said Calton, laconically. "As Mr Fitzgerald said he met 'Whyte at the corner"and hailed the cab--" went on the detective. "How do you know that?" inter- rupted Calton, sharply. "Gorby told me.'. "IIow the devil did he find out?" cried the lawyer, with genuine sur- prise. "Because he is always poking and prying about,"said Kilsip,forgetting, in his indignation, that such poking and prying formed part of detective business. "But, at any rate," be went on quickly, "if Mr Fitzgerald did leave Mt Whyte; the only proving in- nocence he'sgotof 1 g his is that he did not come back, as the cabman alleged." "Then, I Suppose, you think that Fitzgerald will prove an alibi?" said Calton. "Wel, sir," answered Kilaip, modestly, "of con ►seyou know more. about the case than• I do, but this is the only defense I can see he can make." "Well, he's not going to put in such a defense."a "Then he must be Kilsip, promptly. "Not necessarily,' returned the barrister, dryly. "But if he wants to save his neck, he'll . have to prove an alibi," per- sisted the other. "That's just where the point is,'• answered Calton. "Ile doesn't want to save his neck." Kilaip, looking rather bewildered, took a sip of wine, and waited to hear 'what Mr Calton had to say on the subject. "The fact is," said.Calton,lighting a fresh Cigar, "he's got some ex- tt•aordinary idea in Lis head about keeping where he was on that night a secret." "I understand," said Kilsip,grave- ly nodding his head. "Women?" "Nothing of the sort," retorted Calton. hastily. "That's what I thought at first, but I was wrong; "Ah; but I may have yet." "Going a -gunning yourself, aro you?" said Gorby, with an indignant snort, "A-hnnting for what --for a 'man as is already caught?" "I don't believe you've got the right man," remarked Kilsip, de- liberately. • Mr Gorby looked upon him with a smile of pity. "No, of bourse, you don't, just because I've caught him. Perhaps when yon sec him 'ranged you'll ire- lieve it then." "You're a smart man; you are," retorted Kilsip; "but you ain't the pope to be it fallible." "And what grounds have you for saying lie's not the right man?" de mended Gorby. Kilsip smiled and stole softly across the room likea oat. "I'm not going to tell you all I know; but you ain't Ifo safe ncr clever as you think," and with an- other irritating smile he went ou►. guilty," said Fitzgerald, after leaving Whyte, went down Russell street to keep his appointment, the most logical conclusion is that the bearer of the letter waited for him at the corner of Bourke and Russell streets. Now," -went on .the lawyer, "I want to find out who the girl that brcu3ht to letter is?" "But how?" "God bless my soul, Kilsip! How stupid you ate," cried Calton. "Can't you understand—that paper came from one of the back slums— therefore it must have been stolen." A sudden light flashed into Kil- sip's eyes. "Talbot Villa, Toorak," he cried quickly, snatching up the letter again and examining it with great attention, "where that burglary took place." "Exactly," said Calton sniffing complacently, "Now do you under- stand what I want—you must take me to the crib in the back slums where the articles stolen from the house in Toorak were hidden.. This paper"—pointing to the letter —"is part of the swag left behind, rind must have been used by some one there. Brian Fitzeetald obeyed the directions given in the letter,and fie was there at the time of the murder." "I understand," said Kilsip, with a gratified purr, "There were four men engaged in that burglary, and they hid the swag at Mother Gut- tersnipe's crib, in a lane off Little Bourke street—but, hang it,a swell like Mr Fitzgerald,in evening dress. couldn't very well have gone down there unless--" "He had souleono with hie► well known in the locality," finished Calton, rapidly. "Exactly, that wornan who delivered the letter at the club glided him. Judging flout the waiter's description of her appearance, I should' think she was pretty well known about the slums." "Well," said Kilsip, rising and looking at his watch "it is now 9 o'clock, so if you like we will go to the old hag's place at once—dying woman," he said, as if struck by a suddsn thought, "there was a wo- man died there about four weeks ago." "Who was she?" asked Calton,who was petting on his overcoat. "Some relation of Mother Gutter - snip's, I fancy," answered Kilsip, as they left the office. - "I don't know exactly what she was—she was called the 'Queen,' and a precious handsome woman she iaust have been—came from Sydney about three months ago, and from 'abet I can make out, was not long from England, died of consumption on the Thursday night before the mur- der." "Then she must have been the woman who wrote the letter." "No doubt of it" replied Kilsip; "but if Fitzgerald was there on that night we can get plenty of witnesses to prove an alibi. 1 am sure .of two at least—Mother Guttersnipe and her granddaughter Sal" But Mr Calton was not listening. As he stepped 'along beside his com- panion he was thinking: "What on earth could a woman just from England, living in a Mel- bourne back slum, have to tell Fitz- gerald about Madge Frettlby?" CHAPTER XV. A WOMAN OF '1'tlE PEOPLE. Bourke street is always more crowded than Collins . street, es- pecially at night. The theatres are there, and of course there is inva- riably a large erowd collected under the electric lights. Fashion does not conte out after dark to walk about the streets, brit prefers to roll along in her carriage, therefore the block in Bourke street at night is slightly different from that of ("ol- lins street in the day. Turning off Little Bourke street the detective led the way down a dark lane, which felt like a furnace owing to the heat of the night; but on looking up Calton caught a rte went to sec a dying woman who glimpse of the blue sky far above, wanted to tell him something," I glittering with stars, which gave "What about?" him quite a sensation of coolness.

This time Calton saw the light was held by an elfish looking child, with a scowling white face, and tangled masses of black hair, which hung over her eyes. She was crouching dowu on the floor, against the damp wall, and looked up at the detective defiantly, yet with a certain fear in her eyes, as though she were a wild animal, cow- ed against her will. .
