But she made no comment whatever, and Mrs. Pelham now,fell back on the actual bus- iness of purchasing lam dress goods, and euly ventured to say, before leaving:— "Do come and havo dinner with mo to -morrow, Miss Greenleaf; I shall begin , to feel like a hermit for want of so1110 friendly face to look at across the table:" "Ohl I ant really sorry," !answered tho good-natured girl; "I had already en- . gaged to dine at my sister's in Allegheny City; she is quite sick at present, and )ter husband, Dr. Marsh, insisted on hay coming." "Well, well," said Mrs. Pelham, re- signedly, "I am doomed to a lonely Sun- day, I see; but I shall reckon on your • company at another time, mind." With a pleasant "good -by," she then left the store. Sunday was .really a dull day for Mrs. Pelham, and in tho afternoon sho took refngo in her rooau, and' in the oompan- ionship of an interesting book. About three o'clock sho was disturbed by a knock at the door, on opening which sho found Miss Greenleaf, radiant as a little sj ring blossom, and laughing with girl - lib glee at tho notion of having surprised hitt,. "So I have come to see you, after ail." ,she exclaimed, as Mrs. Pelham seized her lands ,Lnd saluted her warmly "Oh! you arc most welcome," said the latter; "it is so kind of you to conte to visit a poor lonely wonlaln, and I have been feeling very badly all day, too.

The conviction of t this Indy was not less strong that Etta and the forger's wife were ono, and as soon as sho could roach the telegraph 011100, she ennlniunieoted to Mr. Linden the result of her evening's progfess, C1IAPTl',ii We leave Mr, Thomas for to while to grapple with these eonundrun1s, and re- turn epee more to our superintendent in Philadelphia. The first and most obvious need of Air. Linden was to know if this intelligeneo was really eorreet;•—had Liz- zie Greenleaf spoken the trade' T.lttlo ao L`. e a to k IOW. erred K. ; :v tail o, ,' .•' Dudley was in Boston, it was of para- mount importance to verify- even that. To obtain this verification,, and to esoor- t:ain, if possible, the forger's: full address, was the design of to little plot which was now contrived in tho Quaker City. From the time of his detention at the Agency, Wales had been permitted a free iutnroourse by letter, with his brother at Bedrook, and with Carrie Davison. His communications were always Bitted as from the "American Hotel, Philttdel. phis;'' and the answers coating for hint wore procured by my officers at an estab- lishment so named, The entire corre- spondence, of course, had to pass through Mr. Linden's }lands; who assnrad him- self that his prisoner did not disclose his actual situation, and thereby give the signed for Dudley to eseapo. But know- ing very well that such a proceeding would at once put en end to his corre- spondence, Wales made uo attempt . to abuse his privilege. It was now suggested to tho captive that he write a confidential letter to Liz- ' -ie, so as to obtain from her; as his friend, Dudley's exact address. As she well knew of their confederacy, and as we now learned,- even of its criminal character, it seemed elnito improbable that she would refuse to Wales what sho was careful to withhold from a stranger like Mrs.. Pelham. To account for his being in Philadelphia, and for his anx- iety to obtain the address, the captive was permitted to use his nsvn invention. Thereupon he 'wrote the following letter, which Mr. Linden approved . and de- spatched to Pittsburg:— "Friend Lizzie—No doubt you will be surprised at getting a letter from int af- ter so long an absence; still, I have not forgotten you as a friend, and, more than that, a:; a secret friend. I am now abort to ask you a favor that will •nover be forgotten either by lee or Dudley.
