CHAPTER V.
A TANGLED WEB.
The day succeeding the ball was ' one of
intense excitement to Marsden's 'somewhat
scratch household. For although; during
the short visit to his old home in the early
summer, his establishment had ben put on
such a feting as would enable hin to come
down for ocasional visits with a f w friends,
in the s ooting Amnion, all dem iptions of
auxiliarie had to be hastily e gaged to
carry on he extensive service required tor
such a pa ty as he had invited f r his sud-
den outb eak of hospitality.
It was many a day since the Oldbridge
police h d risen to such impo tance, and
they Made the most of it.
Evealei h House was pervade4 by stal-
wart gua diane of the public pe oe. They
rummage the rooms, sent the high Minded
house m ids into hysterics by 'examining
their bo es; they tramped to and fro in
the grou de, every now and then carefully
followin foot prints which had been made
by their ellowa. They nearly tdok the It -
alien con eetio er, sent down by the great '
London heels which furnished ;the more
sublime ttio s of the supper, into custody;
they exa mneed'
the men and were" sauced"
lby the w en ; but they discoveeed-noth-
ing, and they impressed Marsden with a
convictio of1", their incompetence. He
therefor dispatched a telegram to his so-
licitor, r questing him to obtain tbe assist-
ance of a defeetive from Sotoland 'ard.
When Norte walked over to inquire for
Mrs. Ruthven on the afternoon 'following
the search, she ' was a little suri rised by

Virginie ushered in Captain Shirley.
Excuse my dusty boots," he said, corn-
ing quickly to her. Hearing you wished
to see me, I earn° at once. I am glad to see
you are looking better than I expected."
"Yes ; I am nearly myself," she return-
ed, smiling graciously, and motioning him
to sit down. "When do you return to
town?"
"By an early train to -morrow."
" And I, in the afternoon. Shall I see
you we my arrival?"
"11 you need my services, yes ; but I had
intended running over to Ostend to see my
sister, who has been seriously ill. I ought
to have gone before."
"To Ostend?" repeated Mrs. Ruthven, as
if to herself.
"But if I can be of any use--"
"Yes, you can," she interrupted, abruptly.
"Do you remember a wonderful detective,
who watemployed by Lady Dartrey to ob-
tain evidence against her husband in that
famous ease ?"
"1 do, at least I recollect hearing of
him." Shirley rose as he spoke, and rested
his arm .on the mantel -piece, his face deep in

"1! you will get me this men's address, I

' "1 have not the faintest idea where to

"Lady Dartrey's solicitors would tell you.

had exchanged a few words. "And I must

"Did you see Miss L'Estrange safely

" Nora ? No. Fortunately Winton turn-
ed up, and I gave her over to. him; it was

There was a pause, then Mrs. Ruthven
asked, dreamily, as if speaking out of her
thoughts :

" I don't remember,' said Marsden.
" When ? When you were last in Paris ?"
" Yes. Don't you remember, the clasp
of the necklace did not seem secure and I
gave it to the jeweller that Count Henri de
Meudon recommended? Or, was it before
you met me there in June ?"
"Before, I think. I should not have for-
gotten, had I heard, though my mind was
full of a different matter:' An expressive
glance gave point to his words,
Mrs. Ruthven looked down with a
thoughtful smile.
" Well, Ichelieve this agent, or jewel
-merchant, offered something like 1,500,000
trances e'
"That was a large sum ! I euppose it is
worth it ?"
I have always been told so. It is too
much to lose !"
" It certainly is ! I must bestir myself,
and find sonne good investment for that,
money of yours, which is lying fallow in the
Three Per Cents."
" I ahall not invest in jewels,atallevents !
The sense of insecurity will never leave
me." And she shivered.
" You ought never to be alone again,"
said Marsden, in a low voice. Well, you
will endure this ill-omened house till Mon-
day, at least), then I will escort you to town.
Is that understood ?"
"So be it," she returned.
"And you will come down to dinner?
You must not allow yourself to despair !
These detectives do wonders, sometimes."
"No doubt. But I see the difficulty of
recovering my rubies is enormous. Once
out of their setting (and Mr. Winton says
thieves always take them out), how can I
swear to them? How can I identify them ?"
"Let us hope the best. Now, I have

He took and preesed her hand once more

The First Paper Mill. -
It is generally coeceded that the first
paper made in Canada was in a mill at St.
Andrew's, Quebec, abont 1803. As to the
first paper made in Upper Canada, there is
some doubt. Mr. James Stint, who was
foreman of Eastwoo 's mill on the Don
. . .
13
river in 1830, now live at West Flatriboro.
He is eighty-three years of age, and in a
recent conversation with MrACRoss, of
West Flamboro, said :
"Mr. Eastwood told me that _both -mills,.
the one on the Don and the other at Elam-
boro, were built the -saine year. Mr. East-
wood had the machinery in find, and his
was the first mill running. Mr. Crooks,
seeing that Mr, Eastwded was going to get
the first paper out, tent his man to Hamil-
ton for a load of old p pere, boiled them in,
an old pot, then roll d the paper eut and
put it to dry in the au . The Government
prize was given to h m for the first paper
made in Canada. The Government did not
state how the paper was to be made, so
they gave Mr. Eastwo d a prize, amounting
to half of that of Mr. Qrooks. This was in
1825 or 1830, I am not are which."
Mr. Stutt, at the present time, has a
paper mill in Crook's Hellow at West Flare. -
bore. It occupies the site of the old grist
mill, which Was at one time operated by
Mr. Crooks as much. The original paper
mill, known as Crooke' mill, was a franie
building. and stood about forty yards from
the present grist mill. Ie was on lot 6, -con-
cession 2, of West Flarnboro, the sarne lot
on which the house of Mr. A. C. Roes
stands. Mr. Stilt% although eighty-three
years of age, is running his paper mill
night and day. He told Mr. ROLM that in
1845 a man named Hel
man of the Crooks mill,
to come to Toronto to
iwell, who wax fore -
sent for him (Stutt)
fix some part of the
machinery which had 'gone out of order.
The Eastwood mill on the Don was built ita
1826, and was in full operation a year later.
