pany, and nc>t. fintindly with Walton," Nick oxplsined. ' Furtheirmore, Kendall was p rfsddent of the eo-ojior}»tive bank, Allison treasurer and casliiea*, and Jvdivis Craige tho beokk(€iper. All of these facts occurred to me, Chick, and since' &.mo of th&st* prnmiiieiat invite suspicion, 1 naturally included Grinifcha\i among them." 'It's lucky you did," laughed Chick. "Otlierwisc, the servant cculd have giv«.:i, yen no helj. ." '•That's right, t0..," Nick admitted. "The business of tho shoe shops and that of tho bunk are clcstly 3-ela.tcd, Chick, and I shall not bo surprised to discolor vhat. rascally work hag beem going on in both quarters. I shall be s.ur i .if my case, however, before I expose my hand and make any arrest." "That's tho safest way." ''It is in dealing with men of their IcaJibtr. Brides, \sc have Allison's murder to clear up " None of these raoa can have shot him, though all may have been aectsscrics in- some va.y. The real crluiinal must be di&I covered and run down. 1 he^ designs [ of this y'lig of rascals piubt bd ©xj)ose4 [illison's recent movtme-nts must, be i learned, and the mystery of his lettter to Walton, and his v ; sit in disguise to the club-luuee must be explained. In. fact, Cliick, oui wtrk has hardly bo gun." "I believe your reasoning is sound," said Cliick. "New I'm off afrer Griitshaw and that letter," added Nick. I'll return seurly -this evening-. If successful, we will tiicn decide on our next mova" Tho smn was running low in, the west wliOT; Nick spproached Griinshaw'si fine residtnee on Hal burton road. The eluidows of the troe» bordtiring the quiet, t-rist^cratJc strc-ol were, becoming longer, while the last golden beams cf the dying day were shed, through, the park surrounding the imposing dwelling. "Evidently they have callers," thought Nick, obsoiving tho stylish team at the curbing oppoaitci Ihci front walk. "Well, by Jove, if it isn't the sab io drag in which I saw thar Margate gia*l. Probably she is calling ou some of the vomen of the family. Well, shw'll net intcafcre with me, at all events." Nick Carter little dreamed at that moment to what extent. Polly Margate had inittrfered with him. As previously stated, he did not quit,p fancy tlie look t,n Grims-liaiw's bard, smoothly shaveoi fae^ when, he opened tlie door. Despite the sedat-e bow and inquiring smile, the glint of this man's eyes and a certain sinister gleam, in thdr cold depths impressed Kick most unfavorably. Grimshaw did not recognise him as any one he had soon, before 1 , Nick's previous call at his office haiving been made iv disguiso The latter now had no wish, however, to hi'do his identity* "Mr Grimshaw 1" said he. "Yes. that's my name." "Are you At leisure for a short time?" Nirk blandly inquired. "Why do you ask, sir?" ''I am engaged in important business, and think y«u may help to give me a little assistance, if you'll consent to do so." (Continued on page 3.)
