d this room while she
was here, I remember seeing her standing near the safe, with her elbow
on the top."

"By Cot!" exclaimed Mr. Swartz, striking the table with his hand. "She
must be de very person. She vanted me to give her monish, and she must
have seen de package lying on the safe and taken it avay."

"It is no use wasting any time then," said the clerk, "you must
endeavor to find out where she stays, and have her arrested this

"Vere can I find her house?" asked Mr. Swartz.

"You will have to track her," answered the clerk. "The first place you
had better go to is Elkin's drug store, for I saw the woman enter

last chapter.

Mrs. Wentworth on perceiving Mr. Swartz and the two policemen, had
pointed to the dead body of her child, and pronounced the solitary
word, "there," while her face became cold and expressiveless.

Involuntarily looking in the direction pointed out by Mrs. Wentworth,
the three men started with awe as their eyes fell upon the beautiful
face of the dead child. One of the policemen, who was a devout
Catholic crossed himself, and withdrew from the entrance of the door,
but the other policeman and Mr. Swartz quickly shook off all feelings
of fear that had passed over them.

"Here is
