"Yon were correct," replied the English barrister; "we have 'made a most important discovery, bearing not only upon the case In hand, but' also upon the Mainwaring murder cane. "Ah—hl" responded the attorney with evident interest; then drawing his chair near the group seated about the open lire, he asked, with a swift glance about the room "But where is your 'clerk,' Mr. Barton? Should he not be present?" "My 'clerk) " "replied Mr. Barton, with' peeuliar emphasis, and plainly appreciating the humor of the inquiry; siduously cultivating the acquaintance of Ralph Malnwaring's coachman. " Therepare many people at the present time whose nerves are unstrung,• heart affected, and general health imptured. To such we offer Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills as the beat remedy that science has produced for such troubles. These pills have a wonderful effect on the nerve cells of the body, giving them new life and energy; they strengthen and regu- late the heart and make the blood rich and nourishing. Mr. Joseph Daly, Wolfe Inland, Ont., writes:—"I have used Milburn'e Heart and Nerve Pills. I was a regular nervous wreck from my heart and nerves. 1 caw your advertisement in the paper and decided to try your pale.; I took five boxes of them, and now I am as steady as.a clock. People said I could not be cured, but I fooled them with Milburn'e Heart and Nerie Pi1Ut." Milburn's Heart and IV:erve Pills are Stk. a box at all dealers, or mailed direct on reeapt of price by The T. Milburn Co., Waited, Toronto, Ont. Then, as Mr. Sutherland elevated his eyebrows in mute inquiry, he con- tinued,— "The coachman, I have understood, is a recent acquisition, taken, 1 be- lieve, upon the recommendation of this Merrick; and while he seems em- inently satisfactory as a coachman, 1 have my doubts as to whether he will prove quite so satisfactory to. his superior officer 'upon his return," "Alt, I seel"- ejaculated the other; "he is what aright be denominated a 'sub.' - "Yes; and so exceedingly verdant that McCabe thought it worth while to make his acquaintance. But 110\, to present business)" Again the strange story was re- peated, Mr. Sutherland listening with grave attention, which deepened as the recital proceeded, until, at its completion, he could scarcely restrain his enthusiasm; exultation was plainly written on his face, but there was a peculiar gentleness in his manner as he first approached his young client, saying in a low tone, as he cordially grasped his hand,— "i realize, Mr. Mainwaring, all :that this means to you, and I am sure you will understand me when I say that I congratulate you. " Harold Mainwaring bowed silently, and Mr. Sutherland, turning towards the English barrister, exclaimed, "This explains everything! This will make our case absolutely incontrocertib • but, first, we must secure that man at all hazards and at any cost as quickly as possible; think what a witness he mill stake:" "Just what i had in mind" was the response, "and McCabe is the man to locate him if he is upon the face of the earth. But we must decide im- mediately upon our own course of action, for this will necessitate cer- tain changes in our plans, and we must act at once, and, at the sante time with the utmost caution and sec- recy." Dinner was ordered and served in the privacy, of their own apartments that they might be entirely free from intrusion or interruptions during their deliberations, and it was at a late hour when, their consultation ended, they gathered about the open fire with their cigars, awaiting, with touch self- congratulation and cheerful talk, the return of the absent McCabe. "Confound itt" exclaimed Mr. Bar- ton, presently, glancing at his watch; "what in the deuce Is keeping that fellow so late? If we had not espec- iallly wanted him, he would have been here ,two hours ago." ".Perhaps," suggested Mr. Suther- land, " he may have found, the coach- man more commmunicative than be anticipated." "He had doubtless struck some clue which he is following," was the reply; but at that instant there was a light tap 'at the door, and the matt gener- ally known as the English barrister's "clerk" entered. "Well, Mac," said Mr. Barton, so cheerfully, " speak of the devil' --•you know what folloursl What luck to- night?" "Very fair, sir," said the' man quiet- ly taking in the situation at a glance, as he noted the eager, expectant faces of the four sten, and, dropping into a chair near the group, he instantly assumed an attitude of close attention. Ordinarily, McCabe was, as Mr. Whitney had remarked, rather an in- significant looking Maul. He was be- low medium stature and somewhat dull In appearance, owing to the fact that he seemed somewhat dull in appear- ance, owing to the fact that he seem- ed to take little interest in his sur roundings, while his face,' when his eyes were concealed, as was generally the case, by the heavily drooping lids and long eyelashes, was absolute- ly expressionless, When, however, he raised his eyes and fixed them upon ROOSEVELT'S CAREER 'IN TABLOID FORM Bortz—Oct. 27, 1858.
