This was in the past, however; in the
days when he had been regularly attached
to a strong and reliable detective agency.
For tact, energy, ambition, he had uo
peer; but one day his career llad been
nipl ed in the bud.
A young pian, equally talented, and
tar more honorable, had caused his over-
throw; and yet had saved him from the
worst that might have befallen hien.
And, Jerry Belknap, had stepped down
from an honorable position, and, deter-
mined to make his power, experience,
and rekuowled;ed abilities, serve him as
the means of supplying his somewhat ex-
travagart needs, had resolved himself
into a "private detective," and betaken
himself to "ways that are dark."
"There's something at the bottom of
this business that I don't understand,"
niused he as he paced onward; little
thin?cl•)" how soon he is to be enlight-
enest .::: its:end sundry other subjects.
"I never fed more sanguine of bringing
a crooked operation to a successful term-
ination, and I never yet nutde such an
abject fe1111re. I shall make it my bttsi-,
nese to find out, and at once, what is
this power behind the throne. So, accord-
ing to 1t'ass ;vattour, may Satan fly away
with leer. I and not to approach the La -
motet's, I tem to net my reward, 1 ant to
retire tenni fie ;iced like a whipped cur..
