Once he had lacked the door, however, and pulled down the window- blin,ds, he threw himself 111POU the bed and indulged in a toss of unrestrained mirth. Still very much amused., he felt in his packet for the key of the old walnut wardrobe with which his room was furnished, unlocked it and lifted out a tan satchel. Assuredly. In all fairness to him- self he lead to a,dmit that it had 93 e'en CH.A.PTER VI.—(Oont'd.)

Heie probably waiting outside, and. we don't want him nosing into ane -thing." This seemed to meet with the ap- proval of the others, and when the cheque w.as rea,dy the head. of the Brady Detective Agency was called in and handed a cigar, the ,che.qu,e and some plausible explanations which enabled him to. return to his office with no hard feelings. Detective Brady never found: it an inconverdenee to receive money. The air had cleared wen:dee-fully by the time Detective McCorquociale ar- rived with Robert Clayton in tow— so nau,cli. so that both ,turatious gentle- men were somewhat surprised at the smiles which gTeated them. If any- thing further were rueeded to convince Nickleby that he had. been tee hasty in his conclusions, this frank, clean-cut young American supplied it, and as the brief interview progressed the President of the Interprovincial ap- peo,a,eheel as near to geniality as his naturally suspicious and cynical n.a- tura aver ventured. The detective had found Clayton just preparing to des- cend the stairs to his train; but he lead came readily enough when the circumstances were explained to him. "I do hop,e none of you vntleehen suspect my young friend here in con- nection with this inexplicable niatter," were his first words- as he stood with a hand on Stiles' shoulder. He spoke earnestly, his grave eyes s.earching their faces, ore after another. "I haven't known Jimmy very long, of cours,e; but I know henesty when I see it and. I'd stake my life that he has had no hancl in this—this' strange disappearan,ce which I understand has upset you all. May I ask just what the contents of this satchel were? Was it a sum of money "No, no, it's all right, Mr. Clayton," volunteered Niclele.by rather hurriedly, "—just same legal documents which can be duplicated; the puzzle is why anybody shit:111d take them. The de- lay in connection with some business matters which their loss will entail is the only thing that concerned us; but we find that it is not as bad as we thought, and we regret very much causing you this inconvenience.' Robert Clayton mad,e a gesture of deprecation. "That's the last eorisideration, gentlemen," he smiled.. "For my own satisfaction., I would like to state candidly a little about myself. Under the circumstances it is your right to know." What he had to say merely substan- tiated what Jimmy Stiles had told them already. He was returning from a visit to his uncle on a Western On- tario farm, and had remained over in the city for a few days on his way home. While out for a Sunday morn- ing constitutional he had been attract- ed to All Saints' Missio-n by its re- semblance to the little church he at- tended at home. There he had been welcomed' so cordially by Jimmy Stiles and ethers that it had been a great pleasure to him. He des.aibed in detail his meeting cover the truth, Fodim,are, could give him the laugh.
