CHAPTBli, 1.
As ex -detective, I am often asked
-relate my adventures and at one
a I wee reedy enough to doso; but
soon felted that my tales -were looked
as dull, prosy things, and. not at
e what detectives ought to have
for themselves. Everytody seetee
think that detectives ought to fma
things out by a sort of magical divina-
tion; but I was reckoned a pretty good
one, and hey° -known some of our
celebrities; and the only way
au us ever found anything out was
by meet:tiring of everybody who was like-
ly to. know a little, keeping our eyes on
any probablepaxty, holding our tongaes,
and putting the scraps together.
Now and thea we are betriend.ed by a
leaky chance; and when this happens
WEt get ,a hundred times more praise
than when we puzzle out the darkest
aud toughest base. The last affair I
Was ever engaged in was of this kind.
I was first concerned in it two years be-
fore I left the police, tater, by-hye,
I had. quite given up the detective
branch ; and I resumed it three years
afterward, that is three years efter I
had left the police; and this is how it

temper at the time or whether she was
hurt at his making such a request,
Lytherly could not say, but sh: refused
to make the advance, and they parted
worse friends than they had been for
some time.

Mr. Parkway left that evoning, hav-
ingplaced his business in the hands of
Mr. Wingate; for, as there was no will,
he was the heir-at-law. Now, this was
a, very curious affair about the will, be-
cause afiss ParkWay had. Lola her land-
lady, not many days before, that she
had. made her will, awl, in 'fact, had
shown her the dociunent as it lay, neat-
ly tied up, in h,er desk. . However, it
was gone now; and she had either de-
stroyed it, or the person who had killed
her had taken that as well as the
money; and. even if the letter was the
case, it was hardly likely to turn up
again: So, as I have said, Mr. Park:
way went home. The solicitor realized
the poor lady's property ; and all our
efforts were in vain to discover the
slightest clue to the guilty party. As
- for Lytherly, he soon found it was of no
use to think of remaining in Combe -
stead, for gnilty or not gimpy, no one of
any respectability cared to associate
with him; and, as he owaed to me, the t
worst part of .it all was that old Cra-
