FRIDAY, l!TQV 30, 18$3.
the Mystery al a Hansom Cab
BY FERGUS W. LIUME. "
CONTINUED.
-` "She's a clever girl, that," whisp-
ered Calton to Fitzgerald. "Curious
thing she should have taken up ber
proper position in her father's house.
Fate is a deal cleverer than we
mortala think her."
Brian was about to reply when
DI Chinston entered the room. His
face was very grave, and Fitzgerald
looked at him in alarm.
- "Madge — Miss Frettlby," he
fal tered.
"Is very ill," replied the doctor;
"has an attack of brain fever. I
can't answer for the consequences
yet."
Brian sat down on the sofa and
stared at the doctor in a dazed sort
of way. Madge dangerously ill—
perhaps dying. What if she did
die, and he lost Ithe true hearted
woman who stood so nobly by hila
in his troublel
"Cheer up," said Chinston,patting
him on the shoulder; "while there's
Iifa:,there's hope, and whatever hu-
man aid can do to save her will be
done."
Brian grasped the doctor's hand
in silence, his heart being too full to
speak. -
"How did Frettlby die!" asked
Calton.
"Heart disease," said Chinston.
"His heart was very much'affected,
ns I discovered a week or so ago
It appears he was walking in his
sleep, and ent ' the drawing
m
room he alarmed-' rettlby,who
screamed and. must have touched
bind. Ho awoke suddenly, and the
natural consequences followed—he
dropped clown dead."
"What alarmed Miss Frettlbyl"
asked Bt ian in a low voice, cover-
ing his face with his hands.
"The sight of her father walking
in his sleep, I suppose," said Chin-
ston, buttoning his glove, "and the
shock of his death,which took place
indirectly through her, accounts for
the brain fever."
"Madge Frettlby is not the wo-
man to scream and waken a somnam-
bulist," said Calton, decidedly,
"knowing as she did the danger.
There must be some other reason.'
"This young woman will tell you
all about it," said Chinston, nodding
toward Sal, who entered the room
at this moment. "She was present,
--and since then has managed things
admirably; and now I mast go," he
saie,shaking hands with Calton and
Fitzgerald. "Keep up your heart
my boy; I'll pull her through yat.'
fter the doctor had gone, Calton
tut d sharply to Sal Rawlins, who
stood waiting to be addressed.
"`'Nell," he said briskly, "can you
tell us what startled Miss Frettlbv?
"I can,sir," she answered quietly.
"I was in the drawing room when
Mr Frettlby died—but—we had
better go up co the study."
"Why?" asked Calton,in surprise,
as he and ,Fitzgerald followed her
u1) stair's.
"hecause;si,," she said,when they
had entered the study and she had
locked the door, "I don't want any
one but yourselves to know what I
tell you." '
"1'lore mystery," muttered Calton,
as he glanced at Brian, and took his
seat at the escritoire.
"Mr Frettlby went to bed early
last night," said Sal, calmly, "and
Miss Madge and I were talking to
gether in the drawing room, when
lie entered, walking in his sleep,
carrying some papers--"
Both Calton and Fitzgerald start-
ed, and the latter turned pale.
".Het,came down the • room and
spread out a. paper on- the table
where the larnp was. •Miss Madge
bent forward to see what it was. I
tried to stop her,but it was too late.
She gave a scream and fell on tyle
floor. In doing so she happened to
touch her father. IIe awoke, and
fell down dead."
"And the, papers?''asked Carlton,
uneasily. .
Sal did not answer,but producing
them from her pocket, laid them in
his hands. ' '
Brian bent forward as Calton
opened the envelope in silence, but
both gave vent to an exclamation of
ry
horror at seeing the certificate of
marriage which they knew Rosanna
Moore bad given to Whyte. Their;
worst suspicions were confirmed,and
Brian turned away his head, afraid
to meet the barrister's eye. The
latter folded Up the papers thought-
fully and put them in his pocket.
"You know what -these arc?" he
asked Sal, Dyeing her keenly.
"I could hardly help knowing,"
she answered. "It proves that Ros-
anna Moore was Mr Frottlhy's wife,
and---" She hesititted.
"0-o on" said Brian, in a harsh
tone, looking up.
"And they were the papers she
gave Mr Whyte."
"Well?"
Sal was silent fat a moment, and
then looked up with a flush.
"You needn't think I'm going to
split," she said,indignantly,recurring
to her Bourko street slang in the
excitement of the moment. "I
know what you know, but help me
(% --I'll be as silent as the grave."
"Thank you," said Brian, fervent-
ly, taking her hand; "I know you
love her too well to betray this ter-
rible secret,"
"i would bo a nice tin', I would,"
said `dal, with scorn, ''after her lift- '
ing mo out of the gutter, to round ?
on her—a poor girl like me, without
a friend or a relative, now Gran's
dead." ,

litosanna ,Moore was her mother.
So much the bettor; they would keep
her in ignorance, perhaps not a► -
together, blit it would be folly to.
undeceive her at present.
goin' to Madge now," she
said, going to the door,"and I won't
see you again; she's getting light-
' beaded,and might let it out; but I'll
not let any one in but myself," and
so saying she 1e't the room.
"Cast thy bread upon the waters,"
said Calton, oracularly. "The kind-
ness of Miss Frettlby to that poor
waif is already bearing fruit—grati-
tude is the rarest of qualities, rarer
even than modesty."
Fitzgerald made no answer, but
stared out of the window, and
thought of his darling lying sink
unto death, and he could do nothing
to save her.
"Well," said Calton, sharply.
"Oh, I beg your pardon," said
Fitzgerald, turning in confusion. "I
suppose the will must be read, and
'all that sort of thing."
"Yes," answered the barrister; "I
am one of the executors."
"And the others?"
"Yourself and Chinston," answer-
ed Calton, "so I suppose," turning
to the desk, "we can look at his
papers, and see that all is straight."
"Yes, I suppose so," replied
Brian, mechanically, his thoughts
far away, and then he turned again
to the window. Suddenly Calton
gave vent to an exclamation of sur-
prise, and, turning hastily, Brian
saw him holding a thick roll of
papers in his hand, which he had
taken out of the drawer.
"Look here, Fitzgerald," he said,
greatly excited, "here la Frettlby's
confession—look!" and beheld it up.
Brian sprang forward in astonish-
ment. So at last the hansom cab
mystery was to bo cleared up. These
sheets,no doubt,contained the whole
narration of the crime and how it
was committed.
"We will read it, of course," he
said, hesitating, half hoping that
Calton would propose to destroy it
at once.
" Yes," answered Calton, " the
titles executors must read it, and
then—we will burn it."
"That will be the better way,'
answered Brian, gloomily. "Fret-
tlby is dead, and the law can do
nothing inthe matter, so it would
be best to avoid the scandal of pub-
licity. "But why tell Chinston?"
"We must," said Calton, decided-
ly. "HSS will be sure to gather the
truth from Madge's ravings, and
may as well know all. He is quite
safe, and will be silent as the grave
But I am more sorry to tell Kilsip.''
"The detective! Good God,Calton
surely you will not do so!"
"I must;" replied the barrister
quietly. "Kilsip is firmly persuad-
ed that Moreland committed the
crime, and I have the same dread of
his pertinacity as you had of mine
He may find out all,"
"What 'must be, must be," said
Fitzgerald, clenching his -bands.
"But 7 hope no one else• will find
out this miserable story. -There's
Moreland, for instance."
"Ah, true!" said Calton, thought
fully. "He called and saw Frettlby
the other night, you say?"
"Yes, I wonder what for?"
"There is uuly one answer," said
tbo barrister, slowly. "He must
haye seen Frettlby following Whyte
when he left the hotel, and wanted
hush money."
"I wonder if he got it," observed
Fitzgerald.
"Oh, P!! soon find that out," an-
swered Calton, opening the drawer
again, and taking out the dead
man's check book. "Let me see
what checks have been drawn
lately.",
Most of the blocks were filled up
with small amounts, and one or two
for a hundred or so. Calton could
find no large sum such as Moreland
would have demanded, when, at the
Very end of the book, he found a
check torn ofi,loaying the block slip
quite blank.
"There you are," he said,triumph-
antly, holding out the book to .Fitz-
gerald. "He wasn't such a fool as
to write in the amount on the block,
but tore the chock out,and Wrote in
the sum required."
"And what's to be done about it?"
"Let him keep it, of course," an.
swered Calton, shrugging his should.
ers.. "It's the only way to secure
his silence."
"I expect he cashed it yesterday,
and is off by this time," said Brian,
after a moments pause.
"So much the better for us," said
Calton,grimly. "But I don't think
he's ofl,or Kilsip would have let me
know. We must tell hie) or he'll
get everything out of Moreland, and
the conscgnences would be that all
illelbuurne would know the story;
whereas, by showing him the con-
fession, we get him to leave Moro -
land alone, anti thus secure silence
in both cases."
"I suppose 11 a must see Chinston?"
"Yes, of course. I will telegraph
to him and Kilsip to come up to my
office this aftereoon at 8 o'clock,and
then we will settle the whole
matter."
"And Sal Rawlins?"
- "011! I quite forgot about her,"
said Calton, in a perplexed voice.
"She meows nothing about her pa.
rents, and, of course, Mark Frettlby
died in the belief that she was dead."
"Wo must tell Madge," said
Brian, gloomily. "There is no help
for it. Sal is by rights the heiress
to the money of her dead father."
"That depends upon the will," re-
plied Calton, dryly. "If it specifies
that the money is left to 'my daugh-

"And what's to be donel"
"Sal ,R, swliaie,;!r went on the bar-'
rioter, without noticing the inter-
ruption, "has evidently never given
a thought to her father or mother,
as the old hag, no doubt, swore they
were dead. So I think it will be
best to keep silent—that is, if no
money is left to her, and, as her
father thought her dead, I don't
think there will be any. In that
case, it would be best to settle an
income on her. You can easily find
a pretext, and let the matter rest."
"But suppose, in accordance with
the wording of the will, she is en-
titled to all the money?"
. "In that case," said Calton,grave-
ly, "there is only one course open—
she must be told everything, and
the dividing of themoney left to her
generosity. But I don't -think you
need be alarmed; I'm pretty surer
Madge is the heiress.
"It's not the money I , think
about," said Brian, hastily. "I'd
take Madge without a penny."
"My boy," said the barrister,plac-
ing his hand kindly on Brain's
shoulder, "when you marry Madge
Frettlby,you will get what is better
than money—a heart of gold.

expression.
CHAPTER XXXII.
DE MORTUIS NIL NISI BONUM.
Dr Chinston bad received Calton's
telegram, and was considerably as-
tonished thereat. He was still wore
so when, on arriving at the office at
the appointed time, he found Calton
and Fitzgerald were not alone, but_
a third plan whom he had never
seen was with them. This latter
Calton introduced to him as Mr
Kilsip, of the detective office, a fact
which made the worthy doctor un-
easy, as he could not divine the
meaning of the presence of a detest-
tive. However, he made no remark,
but took the seat handed to hint by
Mr Calton and prepared to listen.
Calton locked the door of the office,
and then went back to bis desk,hav-
ing the other three seated before
him in a kind of semicircle. -
"In the first place," said Calton
to the doctor, "I have to inform you
that you are one of the executors
under the will of the late Mr Fret-
tlby, and that is why I asked you
to come here to -day. The other ex•
ecutors are Mr Fitzgerald and my-
self."
"Oh, indeed," murmured the doc-
tor, politely.
"Aud now," said Caltor, looking
at Lim, "do you remember the hen -
SO 13 cab murder, which caused such
a sensation some months ago?"
"Yes I do," replied the doctor,
rather astonished. "But what has
that 'to do with the will?"
"Nothing to do with the will," an-
swered Calton, gravely, "but the ing out that, thanks to the 'Poison
,Act, As I Knew rlo one would be
so foolish as to carry chloroform
about in his pocket for any length
of time, I. mentioned the day of the
murder as the probable date it was
bought. The chemist turned up to

shoulders. "It's da ` 1) in the book

itz-gerald. • "Moreland."
Iiilsip 'nodded.

"And what's more," went on Cal-
ton, triumphantly? "do you know
that Moreland went to Frettlby two
nights ago. and obtained a certain
sum for hush moneyl"
"What!" cried Kilaip.
"Yes; Moreland,in coming out of
the hotel, evidently saw Frettlby,
and threatened to expose him unless
he paid for his silence."
"Very strange," murmured Kil-
sip to himself, with a disappointed
look on his face. "But why did
Moreland keep still so long'!"
"I cannot tell you," replied Cal-
ton, "but no doubt the confession
will explain all.'
"Then for heaven's sake read it,"
broke in Dr Chinston, impatiently.
"I'm quite in the dark, and all your
talk is Greek to me."
"One moment," said Kilsip, drag-
ging a bundle from under his chair,
and untying it. "If you are right,
what abont this?" and he held up a
light coat, very much soiled and
weather worn.
"Whose is that?" asked Calton,
startled. "Not Whyte's?"
"Yes, Whyte's," repeated Kilsip,
with great satisfaction. "I found it
in the Fitzroy gardens, near the
gate that opens to George street,
East Melbourne. It was up in a fir
tree."
"Then Mr Frettlby must have
got out at Powlett street, and walk-
ed ,down George street, and then
through the Fitzroy gardens into
town," said Calton.
Kilsip took no heed of the re-
mark, but took a small bottle out
of the pocket of the coat and held it
up.
"I also found this," he said.
"Chloroform," cried every one,
guessing at once that it was the
missing bottle.
"Exactly," said. Kilsip, replacing
it. "This was the bottle which
contained the poison used by—by—
well, call him the murderer. The
name of the chemist being on the
label, I went to him and found out
who bought it. Now who do you
think?" with a look of triumph.
"Frettlby," said Calton,decidedly.
"No, Moreland!' burst out Chin-
ston, greatly excited.
"Neither," retorted the detective,
calmly. "The man who purchased
this was Oliver Whyte himself."
"Himself?" echoed Brian, now
thoroughly surprisea,as indeed,were
all the others.
"Yes. I had no trouble in find -
fact is Mr Frettlby was implicated
in the affair." •
Dr Chinston glanced inquiringly
at Brian, but that gentleman shook
his head.
"It's nothing to du with my ar-
rest," he said sadly.
"`'hat do you tuean?" he gasped,
pushing back his chair. "How was
he implicated?'
"That Icannot tell you," answer-
ed;Calton, "until I read leis confes-
sion."
"Alt!!" said Kilsip, becoming very
attentive.
"Yes," said Calton, turning to
Kilsip, "your hunt atter Moreland
is a wild goose chase, for the mur-
derer of Oliver Whyte 'is discov-
ered."
"Discovered:" cried K ilsip and
the doctor in one breath.
• "Yes, and his 'name is Jl-(u'k
Frettlby."
.Kilsip shot a glance of disdain
out of bis.bright black eyes and gave
as low laugh, of disbelief, but the
doctor pushed back his chair fur-
iously and arose to his feet.
"This is monstrous," he cried,in a
rage. "I won't sit still and hear
this accusation against my dead
friend."
"Unfortunately, it is too true,"
said Brian, sadly.
"How dare you say so?" said
Chinston, turning angrily on him.
"And yon going to starry his
daughter :"
"There, is only one way to settle
the gnostion," said Calton, coldly.
"WS must read his confession."
"But why -the detective?" asked
n
the doctor, unbtaclously, as ho took
his seat reluctantly.
"Because I want him to hear for
himself that Mr Frettlby committed
the crime, and that he may ko(p it
quiet,"
"Not till I've arrested ;lint," said
Kilsip, determinedly.
"But he's dead," said Brian.
"i'm speaking of Roger More-
land," returned Iiilsip, "For he
and no other murdered Oliver
Whyte."
"That's a much more likely story,"
Chinston said.
"I telt you no," said Calton
vehemently. "God knows I would
like to preserg'e Mark Frettlby's
good name,and it is with this object
I have brought you all together. I
will read the confession, and when
yon know the truth I want you all
to keep silent about it, as Mark
Frettlby is dead and the publication
of his crime carr do no good to any
one."
"I know," resumed Calton, ad-
dressing the detective, "that you aro
fully convinced in your own mind
that you aro right and I am wrong,
but what if T tell you that Mark
1''rettlby died holding those very
papers for the sake of which the
crime was committed?"
Children Cry for
sat
"And I suppose," remarked, Cal-
ton,
ton, in a slightly sarcastic tone,
"that is anothst of your .proofs
against Moreland. IIe knew that
Whyte had chloroform on him,ther.e-
fore he followedlin) that night and
murdered hint!"
"Well, I--"
"It's a lot of nonsense,' s rid the
barrister, impatiently. "There's
nothing against Moreland to impli-
cate Lim. If he killed Whyte,what
made him go and sac Frettlby?"
"But," said Kilsip,sagely nodding
his head, "if, as Moreland says, he
had Whyte's coat in his possession
before the murder, how is it that I
should discover it afterwards up a
fir tree in the Fitzroy gardens, with
an -empty chloroform bottle in the
pocket?"
"IIe may have been an accom-
plice,".suggested Calton. •
"What's the good of all this con •
jecturing?" said Chinston impatient-
ly, now thoroughly tired of the dis-
cussion. "Read the confession, and
we will soon know the troth, witli-
out all this talk "
Calton assented, and all having,
settled themselves to, listen, he be-
gan to read what the dead man had
written.
CHAPTER XXXII'.
TIE CONFESSION.
"What I aur now about to write
is set forth by nm so that the true
circumstances; connected with the
'Hansom Cab Tragedy,' which took
place in Melbourne in 1 '—,may be
known, I owe a confession, par-
ticularly to Brian Fitzgerald, seeing
that he wag accused of the crime.
Although I know he was rightfully
acquitted of the charge, yet I wiali
him to• -know all about the case,
though 1 tun convinced, from his
altered demeanor towards me, that
he is better acquainted with it than
ho chooses tg confess. In order to
account for the murder of Oliver

New South Wales,in the year 10—.
I bad been in a merchant's office in
London, but not seeing much op-
portunity for advancement,I looked
aboupo see if I could better myself.
I heard of this new land across the
ocean, and though it was not then
the El Dorado which it afterwards
turned out, and, truth to tell, had
rather a shady name, awing to the
transportation of convicts, yet I
longed to go there and start a new
life. Unhappily, however, I had
not the means to go, and saw noth-
ing better before me than the dreary
life of a Londan clerk; as it was im-
possible that I could save out of the.
small salary I got. Just at this
time, however, an old maiden aunt
of mine died and left a few hundred
dollars to me, so, with this, I came
out to Australia, determined to be-
come a rich man. I stayed some
time in Sydney, and then came over
to Port Phillip, now so widely
known as Marvelous Melbourne,
where I intended to pitch my tent.
I saw that it was.a young and ris-
ing colony, though of course,coming
as I did, before the days of the gold
diggings, I never dreamt it would
spring ap, as it has done since, to a
nation. I was careful and saving
in those days, and indeed, I chink it
was the happiest time of my life.
