Of course an invrttlgatlhn wu Immediately entered upon, when it aoon beoamo apparent that the confidential clerk bad absconded with considerable property belonging to the bank, tbs exact amount of which coud only be as- cerUltcd by careful examination of tno books. It wu at this stage of affaire that I wu aent for, and the circumstances narrated above, communicated to me.

Some snch women, I felt lure, had gained the aacendaney over this pior fugitive, encircled him la her deadly cells; and, in tbe mercenary spirit that always actu ates snch alrene,compelled him, in ordirtc sat isfy her rapacious demands, to become a do- a niter. I had no cine to stub a wo nan, Aesnming that then wu one, t uid to ay aid, Rrbert Bolter; “Bob,lt'e my opinion theie'e a woman at the bottom of tbli cate.” ’That’s Inst my opinion.” ho replied. •‘He will go to America, depend css it.” “Ho doubt of that, air.

Bo lides, ho would not risk meeting an aoqnalnt- sneo in the coach; it might lean to unpleasant Inquiries. He’ll go in a postchalas; l.’a my opinion.” Bobertwu correct In hie reasoning, and I at once resolved to tot npoei Us suggestion. Bat the fast tire had probably got twelve hours start. Bo left the bank during the por tor's absence between eiven and eight on the Sunday evening; It wu now Monday, six p. m. I had obtained a warrant for his apprehension early In tha afternoon.
