To sustnin the Mann] used by our lady operative, Mr, Linden now enclosed a letter to a friend in Cleveland, to be im- mediately romalled to Mrs. Pelham at. Pittsburg. The letter purported to bo from Mre. White to her -"tietteest sister," thanking her exuberantly for the comfort conveyed' in some imaginary communioa- tion, and continuing the gloomy records of her own troubles. Tho design of lit simply was, that it might be opportunely shown to Lizzie,. and reassure her thoroughly as to Mile Polhanes truthfui. nese, as well as engage all her sympathies for ti friend witoso faanlly aseeelatiolle Were so distemesingly like her own. • The necessity for just such oredentitOs hsl meanwhile boon mode painfully ap- parent at the very theater of ection, It was several days subsequent to tho epi- sode at the Diamond Hotel before Mrs. Polhant again mot Lizzie at Dunstable's store. In the interval, however—and in- deed on the very clay after—Delaney had observed the girl reading a letter with deep attention, as she walked buck from Allegheny City after a noon visit at her sister's. On this occasion, when Mrs, Pelham received her with unusual warmth, and explained to her how the illness of her other sister, Mrs. Stacey; haci detained her a couple of days at her Auntie's •house. Various other topic e were then discoursed about when the girl interposed -quite voluntarily "What do you' think, Mrs: Pelhatri— my visit to Boston will havo to be given up!" "Whati—givon up?" returned the astonished lady. "Yes," explained the gh•l; "I have had a leiter from sister Etta, and they are gone to New York." Mrs. Pelham beenette anxious—and also suspicious, " Have they left Boston for good?" she placidly inquired. "It Forges so," said Liztio, "they got tired of it or rather ho did, and now they are in Now York. They don't exactly know, either,whero they will go next—he is never very long contented anywhora" "Of course they have Mends in New York?" pursued. tho detective.

" "Well, if his business is traveling suppose they can't weil do otherwise," serenelenobserved Mrs. PePaam. • "True, but ho might go into' movie other business," rejoined the girl. "Why don't you send Lien a good scold of a letter, then r" • "Indeed," said Lizzie, with n show of petulance, shan't write • to Etta for weeks now, just because site has kept mo Waiting so long this time." A turn now canto in the conversation, Sonia trifling purcbases were inade, .and some time expended -bi iromatorial gos- sip. Once More the spell was broken by • Lizzie who almost startled Mrs. Pelham by the oddity of her questin»s, "Do yon know a man named Harry Norman?" wag the singular inquiry. The lady had hoard the question very distinctly, but to get her thoughts well under control sho not. "What did you shy?" she returned. "Did you ever meet a Mr. Norman when you WOTO*111 NOW York?" • "Norinan?—Norman?—" echoed Mrs. Pelham reflectively. • "Yee; his first name Was Haery." "Wen, it does seem to inc--I imagine have known some ono by that name; - 1 think it was the name of a gentleman wheat I once mot at a New Ynrk hotel; he wee a drummer for a dry -goods house.

"Tho more I think of it . the more believe that the person I nret was rolled Norwood," said the lady—but still it may have been the same.

Everything in her previous inteeenurso with Mee. Pelimm had gone to show that she told the natural truth, so far as filet trete went. Everything in this latest interview gave eyidence of premeditation, and a design to mieleati. Either the girl had been strongly cane tinned, or of herself became rearmed at her imprudent confidences and whichever way you looked at it, it seemed certain she would not repeat them. Slue), indeed, proved to be the case. Three or four days afterwards Mee. Pel- ham found to chrome to let her FSO tho lettee of the talliettel Mee. White, and apparently it brought les le some mental eonifort—as if site had even led to mis- trust every movement of herfriced. Bat withal she did not speak further of Etta unless when strongly constrained, and only a few tasted references were made to the couple that bad removed so sud- denly from Boston to New Yaek. (Moe indeed, in alluding to thorn she accidentally mentioned thou as living in Boston—then she blushed, stammered, aud quickly corrected herself by substi- tuting New York. Mrs. Pelham did not Pretend to notice either the blunder or its correction; though together they affirmed clearly that tho Superintendent was right in both his conclusions. Meanwhile Mmes.
