My speculations and musings might run on forever in this fashion wit] t any definite result, but it was now night, and my energies must be given in ancther direction.

Palisade avenue is the name of the read which runs du east for tw miles from Englewood to the mag- nificent bluffs cf the Hudson. Mest

‘2 ive Covey Cone the slip once, and he doesn’t mean I shail do it again.

Not wishing him to think I suspect- ed anything, I passed up the street, turned at the next blicck, and continu-

ed my walk in the direction of Broad- way.

If I intended to elude weuld be a difficult one. Had I feit certain that he could be trusted I would have taken him partly into my confidence—that is, so far as letting him know of the little game on hand, and without any attempt to reveal my real identity. But I had no faith in

him, the job

him. He believed, with good reason, that I was “in” with the counterfeiters,

and any confidence on my part would be taken as an effort to mislead him.

If he should shadow me, there was no saying what complication would follow. It might upset all my plans, so I determined to elude him, if it could be done, and it seemed an easy task.

This time when the cable car halted I had a companion who entered the docr ahead of me, but it was a lady whom I had never seen before. Covey Cone was not in sight.

But a second car came whirling round the curve and halted before ours had passed a block. Looking back, I observed three men and a lady climbing inte it, and one of the four Was a *mall man, attired in a gray business suit.

“ This is getting interesting, but the hand isn’t played out yet.”

My car halted at Chambers street. where I ieft it. Instead of turnings down toward the river, I went to the left, in the direction of Third avenue. 1 did not look around, for I knew he wes not far off. A brief walk took

me to the American News Company's huilding, into which I .passed, as if in search of a book.

I moved about on the lower floor for a few minutes, picking up one volume after another and finally paying fora 50 cent noveL

“T have reason te ‘believe that a man is dogging me. He's somewhere out front, hanging around and wait- ing for me. I want you to let me out the back wav se as to give him the slip.”

“It’s against the rules, but I guess

we can manage it; follow me.”

He kindly conducted me through the rear of the stor opened the huge door, which is always under close sur- veillance, and bade me good day.

Chortling to myself, I walked idly to the right and down Reade street to Duane street. Up that I passed to Broadway, and then down on the other side to West street. on the river front. A few blocks along that to the left took me to the foot of Chambers street, where are the of- of the Erie road.

me. If he were on the same train, he was not in the smoker, and I was so sure that he was not a fellow-traveller that I did not take the trouble to look inte the other cars.

The run on the Northern road, with one or two exceptions, is less than 30 miles, and since there are no western connections, the trains almost invar- iably make exact time. As a conse- quence our local line drew up at En- glewood at 12:18, which was one min- ute in advance of schedule time.

Taking my place on the platform, I scrutinized every man and woman Who stepped off and went either to the waiting cabs, which whirled them away to their homes, or who made their way thither on foot. Covey Cone was not among them.

And yet had I glanced at the other side of the train I could not have fail- ed to see that gentleman, who, observ- ing me on the watch, had plenty of time in which to disappear behind the buildings to the left, so that when the cars moved off he was invisible to me.

Convinced that I had given the de- tective the slip and that he was to hear no hend in the momentous «vents of the evening, I sauntered to the ho- tel, there to await the time fcr my first move in the business.

Mea) vliie tne officer, lingering ur- til I was out of the way, passed by a roundabout course to Palisade avenue, the main street of Englewood, and en- tered the telegraph office, from which he sent a message in cipher to New York. Then, without waiting for a

street, where he, too, events of the evening. Two letters had come @uring my ab- sence. One was a begging missive, from a young man in the West, which I tore up and flung aside. The other was from Jeanette Lawrence. With strange feelings I trembling!y opened it and read:

After holding this tn my hand for minutes, studying the beautiful- ly-formed characters and tracing the sweet sentiments, I took up ing pen to answer.

‘And, whatever the outcome, she shall yield me that respect, for was man ever placed in @ more trying sit- uation than I ?”

And so the missive was tenderly folded up and placed in my pocket alongside the package of money. I could not tell why I preserved it with so much care, but it was more precious in my eyes than the ten bills of large denomination nestling close beside the

letter of one of the best and fairest of women. ‘ The eariy evening mail brought a

Fortunately on the first Sunday after-

noon spent in Englewood I took the walk to the river and thus gained a

ecneral knowledge of the route, whick hew stood me well.

The night was cool, with a gentle breeze and a few clouds in the sky, which, drifting across the face of the full moon, made the light treacherous and uncertain. It was about half-past eight that I left the hotel, and, turning up Palisade avenue, was soon climb- irg the kills, which follow one an- cther for a mile or so.

He will doaate $100,000 as a starter for the
