These were stranger than I tmagined, and when the detective en- tered the room I saw that something out of the common had taken place.

In a quiet costume of black, with hat and gloves to match, she paused timorously on the thresh- hold, and looked at me with a mingled expression of dread and anxiety. Finding myself alone in the room with Nell, I walked ore slowly and took her hand. She looked pale and anx- 8, as I have said, and I felt th q roughed er : elt that she trembled when I “I have not forgotten our last meeting, Miss V. how you saved my life,” said I, gravely. “Let me thi for all your kindness, At this speech a trifle of color came into her cheeks and she sat down with a sigh of relief in the chair J pushed forward, Evidently she had dreaded the meeting, and what 1 might be made to believe concerning her, by the force of circumstances; but now that the worst was'over and proved hot nearly so’ tragic as she had expected, the girl smiled faintly, and in a few minutes became more like her old self. “It is very kind of you to welcome me like this, Mr. Bel- ter,” she sald, with o grateful glance, “the more particular- ly 4s I arrive ‘liere with a detective and under a cloud.” “Why under a cloud, Miss Vyse?" ‘Oh, well, the charm, you know," “What of that?

Soon we wore crossing Westminster Bridge, and directed by Kosh—the cab turned off sharply to the right. Shortly the lad suggested chat we should allght ano walk, wince it would never do for the hansom to drive into the #lum we were hound for. 1 agreed that this waa reasonable, and dismtesing the cab, I left the main thoroughfare with Kosh to descend a dark and narrow street which sloped to the fiver. Later on we branched off into @ tortuous alley, and wu y emerged on to an ancient and ruinous Wharf which ran into the turbid current of the stream. Kosh stepped on to this, and then for the first time I became un easy Certainly this was not the way to any house, and dreading treachery, I whipped out my revolver. <itere, boy. pou are leading me astray As I spoke Kosh turned and ran dTrectly me with his head down. At the same moment my arms wer ppea from hehind, the platol jerked out of my loose grip, aplashed over the wharf Into the waters, and before I could ory out, or draw breath, a handkerchief was thrust inte my mouth. All my kicking and struggling were of no avail, for Kosh clasped my legs, the unknown behind gripped’ my Waist, and Twas borne swittly down the wharf a captive. My brain was quick to comprehend the dangers of the situa- tion. I was in the power of Jericho and his confederates, Without a word I was lowered over th= ntar into a boat and placed in the stern, gagged, bound, helpless. We dropped down stream for some distance, keeping al- ways near the Surrey shore, and ultimately brought up by the aide of a heavily Iaden barge, anchored under the lee of 1 und gloomy house. Here I was hoisted on deck—all acts, by the way, were accomplished in silence—and forced down Inot an ii-lighted and foul-smelling cabin. But not evon in this was [ permitted to remain; but across ft I was taken, pushed through another door into a dark and confined space, Into which I tumbled like a bale of goods. Then the deor was shut quickly and locked. I was a pris- gner, and for the time being I was left to my own medita- fons, By-and-by the door was unlocked and opened to admit an old crone, who held a light high above her head. She at me with blear eves, saluted me with a toothless smilo, and set down the Ilght ‘on a near table, while she unloosened my hands. In the dim radiance I recognized ‘Mother Cal, the ancient iniquity of the gypsy camp on Gurthbury Com- mon. Mumbling the black language to herself, she unstrung the rope from my arms and pulled the handkerchief out of my mouth. Then, with arms akimbo, she grinned again and waited for my protestations, Kosh came to me with food, and finding him corritptible. T vromised him £10 to carry a note to Nell papriche came to seo me and I threatened him with the Ce, “Oh, cuss the police,” he broke in, “they won't find you, mister.

Shortly aftor Jericho left I felt the barge heaye on the crest of the waters, and swing—as I supposed—tnto mid- stream, I heard the tramping of heavy feet overhead and faint shouta in many voices. Whither we were going f knew not, but all the weary afternoon the barge rolled long, for I heard the swish-swishing of little wavelets whipping Sts sides, Toward sunset, as I guessed from the Gyine. light, the boat came to anchor; and an hour later the door of my cabin opened to admit Nathaniel.

Later, a rehearsal of the new play, “Under Cover,” which is to reconquer New York for him, was to be held, but at 7 o'clock he sat alone, loaking out over the chair amphitheatre, and while the few streaks of twilight which, Uke adventurous Johnnies, had forced their way past the wings, met and blended with a-single gas jet's yellow flare, he told me about the new play and the seven surviving members of the old Harrigan & Hart's company, which owned New York when its thea- ‘tre at No. 514 Broadway, near Prince street, was the city’s centre of comedy. For these, as well as a younger element, partially gathered from the families of dead members of the old cast—witness Ada and Loule Wild, daughters of Johnnie Wild, and Adelaide Manola, daughter of Mafion Manola—have been gathered in the new company, which, after an absence of ten years, will en- deavor to charm the New York public from the lure of the musical extrava- ganza and tho tinsel of the society play dack to comedy, or, as Mr. Harrigan prefers to call it, “the play of char- acters.”’ If you are an old-timer and proud of it, your memory will carry you back to the old Broadway and Prince street days, to ‘Investigation’ and what was known as the Mulligan series of plays —"The Mulligan Guards’ Ball," “Cor- delia's Aspirations," “Dan Tribule- tions” and half e dozen other long-for- gotten successes of the Harrigan & ARRIGAN WILL TR Warty Y a ’ embers af f Mis Hart era If you can't, or merely would rather not, look #o far into the dead past, a comparatively modern mem- ory will take you to '8, when the mov. ‘uptown’ to Harrigan & Hart's new theatre, near Eighth street, was made, or to ‘87, when the playhouso burned down and the Herald Square Thentre, at Dhirty-fifth street and Broadway, then owned by Hyde & Behman, was leased, During the lease of the Her- ald Square Harrigan bought what 1s now tus altesof the Garrick, and butlt Harrigan's Theatre, and there it wa that his greatest success, “Rellly and the Four Hundred," a pleasing comedy based on Ward MoAllister’s then re- cent classification of “society,” was produced. He also made revivals of the Mulligan series, which were rece!ved with their old-time favor. But as years went on the popularity of the Harrigan play waned; the re- celpts grew less. Up rose the musical comedy and Clyde Fitch, and in 1893 Ned Harrigan gave up for a time 3 fruitless comvetition with twinkling feet and sparkling epigram, leased his theatre to Richard Mansfeld and weat on the road 4 He 1s back now with members of the old company, and with Jennie and Annie Yeamans, Dan wollyer, Joe Sparks, Ha Maok, W.
