Tile slippery fellow, however, left no trail behind him when ho left tho city, and from that day ho was seen no moro ju California. iViVlnyt reward was offered for his apprehension?*! asked Yardley. "Five thousand dollars," was tho reply. . , ' And tho valuo 'of tho jowols and moneyV" pursued the veteran, in a thoughiful tone. "?Between forty and fifty thousand." "Had; ho confederates, think you?" "It was supposed not. " "No female, ch?" "'Not to my knowledge," inplied Gardiner. Ya rd ly fell into a train of thought and while thus employed, his compan ion glanced over tho paper, Ho finished this and glancing at Yardley ho was surprised to lind his friond, usually so lively, still thoughtful. "What is it, Bon?" ho asked, "solv ing h problem?" "Possibly," was tho laconic roply. "Tell us all about it,"saidthoothor, in a bantering tone. Ytirdly slowly raised his eyes to tho face of the sneaker and said. "Gardiner, my boy, what' would you say if 1 wore to loll you that I bolievo I could tako you to tho residence of *'Htumpy?" Tho California detective jumped from hi? chair and cried I "You don't mean it?" "Ido." "And you will lead mo to his hiding placo?" pursued Gardiner, in an ani mated tone. "To his placo of rosidonco-yes; but ho does not hide, to all appearances," was the smiling reply, What name does ho go by?" Nino years ago ho culled himself Miss Caroline Horsey,' " said Yardley, it h au amused sipllo, "but at prosont i is Known as tliii ?wealthy Mrs Moil un.'" ; Married?" pparcntly so; at all events there is a maXllvlng willi her representing tho %v A?^itaguo."' v,Otht\wiso a female jn disguise as a double gWd against detection?" ob served Gar?hior, sententiously.

"I. think not," Gardiner replied, "Yet Jto mako euro I shall assume a disguise ;whoii tho introduction takes placo.? "Very well," said Yardloy, smiling again as an idea entered his fertile brain. "You shall bo introduced, but dot by mo. I have a friend who will do that whilo I stand asido and observe theorfeot." "What offect?" "You shall seo." "Birt toll mo about tho advent of this moBtdolectablo 'Miss Carolino Dorsoy," said Gardiner. "That was my intention. It can bo told in a few moments, so to speak," returned Yardloy." "Sho carno hore representing that she carno.from Ireland with her parents, bulli of whom died on tlie pnssaso and were burled at sou.

Two years later sho sold oui at a bar gain, and lived in retirement for two oi three years, whoo tho 'Wealthy Mr Augustus Mont aguo put in an appear an?o and wooed and won Miss Dor soy.' " ^.Tho pair aro then really wealthy?' Gardiner asked in au earnest tone. "So ono may judge by their manne of living," was tho reply. "Tho result, undoubtedly, of tba 'grand haul' of diamonds,' " tho otho remarked. "Quito possible" was tho grim rejoin dor. .fWllero do they live, and what ar their usual habits?" "Their residence is on West Groe street, and Mr. Montaguo divides h timo by visiting the brokers' olllces o Third shoot, andJabsoni luj-j; himself fe a period of Tl freo or four days ovoi fortnight. Tho lady seldom leaves tl house." "Possibly on a plundering oxped tion." observed tho California dote tiyo, referring to Montaguo. "Very likely," responded Yardie; Ob tho following evening Hie Moi tague's gave a reception, and Messr Gardiner, Yardloy & Co. woro thor Tho "Co.," was a quiet genteel your man whom Yardley found extremo' useful as a "spotter," and a "shado\ er," in his peculiar lino of busmen His name was Waller Rainsford, ai he was generally looked upon asa yum gentleman of means, inasmuch as 1 dressed well and went much m society. "Ho and Mrs. Montaguo woro qui intimate, and he it was who Hist sn peeled tho sox of that lady, and so i formed Mr. Yardley; heneo both iheso public officers kept a protty sha eye on tho llctitious fournie, and ul mutely woro confirmed in their boli that Mrs. Montaguo was a man in di guiso, but failed to discover his moth Mr. Gardiner, howover, furnished t motivo, ai\d theso three gontleinon nc resolved to mako a proper investigate of the matter. Any ono witnessing the introductio not being awaro that tlio spurious la was a man, would never for a momo have suspected such to bo Hie caf Tho sweeping bow she maclo wot have deceived any ono, almost, and t smile that accompanied it was m< brilliant and betwitching. ? Yardley stood in tho shadow wh the parties w>,ro introduced, and d tinctly saw tho lady givo a porcpptil start when tho namo .of Mr. G ard ir of California, foll upon her ears. "Wo have struck our gamo," was 1 mental observation, and ho was p fectly correct? for Mrs. Montaguo si sequently interrogated Walter Bai ford vory closely in reference to I gentleman. But that "innoccm quiotcd lier alarm by saying chat ho n the gentleman at a botol and bei fortunato enough to render him a ?lb service an introduction followed, a theybecamo mutually pleased with et other. Had the lady been aware of tlio r profession of Rainsford thisox'planat would not have satisfied lier-sho wo have regarded it as a "a mado np 1 to sorvo a purpose. But not foi mouiont suspecting lils avocation, answers ho gavo to lier quest! quletod lier fears, and tho moment alarm subsided. If was oyidont that "Stumpy" j acquainted with Detective Gardiner profession at least, if not acquuin with him personally. j Ou tho following day Gardiner obser ved that ho was "shadowed" by an ap parent countryman, and shrewdly guess ed that "Stumpy" was tho omployer of tho fellow. lu order to complotoiy hoodwink tho rogue, Gardluor pretended to make a numbor of purchases hi Market street wholesale houses, which fact waa, of course, mado known to Mrs. Montague, and was calculated to still furthor quiet lier fears. In tho meantime Mr. Montague loft tho city on his periodical joupnoys, and was followed by llainsford iii disguise. When tho latter returned and reported to his employer ho surprised him not a little. Mr, Montague Uko his roputcd wife was a fraud. Ho was simply a big woman in disguise and was known by tho demi-monde of Kew York as "Big Ann" and was a well known prostitute of Murray street in that city. Yardley did not apprise his f rlond of what ho had discovered in reference to Mr. Moni aguo, but resolved to aid him in securing tho greater criminal vStujbpy" firtil, after which, if rho othor was found guilty of any crime to tako her al jo into custody. Gardiner concluded to tako tho ras cal.during tho absence of Montague, as it could' ho donn moro quietly, and Yardley agreed with him, urging him, hqwevor, to uso tho utmost caution sinco "Stumpy" was such a slippery customer. "? shall bo careful," replied Gardinor, with a confident smile, as tho pair saun tered out of Mr. Yardley's residence. "Condomn that follow," ho immedi ately added, as ho saw his '.shadow,' sauntering leisurely along on tho oppo site side of tho street. .'Ho is daugorous now," remarked Yardley, gravely. "Why so?" tho othor asked. "Jiecauso ho saw you with mo and will so report lo "Stumpy," who knows my profession." "Ah." cried Gardiner In real alarm. "I was not. awaro of that; I must act promptly or hy .lingo ,Stumpy' will slip away." Gardiner crossed tho street aftei laking leave of Yardley, and approach .cd- tho seaming eouh'. ry mun vtyv \\?t] just a moment before parted with a boj with whom he had Peen conversing. "Gan you tell mo where tho Mayor'.' oltlco is?" ho asked of tho follow. "Nix forstay," was tho reply, anil tho detective was positive that tia responso was derisively given. Ho resolved tbereforo to koop him ii viow until an ofllcer appeared and thoi give him in charge for an imaginan offence so as to prevent him from oom municating with "Stumpy." This was accomplished very neall: but tho follow appeared to tako it cooli: and offered no resistance on hoing ar rested; only when ho was led away lu turned to Gardiner, and closing ono eyi ho rouiurkcd: "Now you think you'vo dono it?" Tho detective stared at him, but be yond that simple remark tho man spok no moro. "Confound him, what did ho moan?: Ga diner muttered, musingly, "ca Ibero bo any significance in tho words? He had tho warrant for "Stumpy \s arrest in his pocket and rosolved to pus tho matter at oneo. Ho hastoned to seo Y ard loy an together they proceeded to tho Moi taguo mansion. Thoy were admitte by tho servant who informed thon however, that madam was indisposo and could not sor any visitors. "But our business is very urgent, Gardinor remarked, "and it is impers tive that I seo tho lady." "I will tell her so," was tho quit response, and tho girl loft tho parlo Gardinor and Yardley quietly follows her which she apparently did not ol servo for sho novar turned her head t sbo proceeded up tho stairway. At the chamhor-door, howovor, ' si turned and a look of surpriso sprat into her face. "Why do you follow mo?" oho asko "To seo your . mistress," was tl reply from Gardiner. "This ls ber chamber," rejoined tl girl, "and you may ontor If ye choose," saying which sho abrupt left thom, and they hoard tho froi door close as if sho had left tho houe They oponod tho door, some ono w lying in bed with their back turin toward thorn, but by tho garment th supposed it was a femalo-real or pi tended. Gardiner approached tho bed abd bi a hand on tho figure's shoulder, th uttered an exclamation, and graspii tho occupant lie drew it forth and Hui it on tho. door with a muttored cur? It was a "dummy" and "Stumpy" h "skipped." A slippery customer iiideodl "Well eaid Yardloy, with a emile at 1 ! friend's look of dismay. "Gone but not forgotten," waa tho prim ?reply, and they dopartod from that houso in disgust. "How will you proceed noxt?" asked ? Yard?oy.

A great discovery has been made which will revolutionize the wholo businoss and emancipate tho suf ferers. A factory has been established, with pion ty of capital to back lt, for tho purpose of making artificial teeth by machinery. All that any one who ls troubled with his teeth will have to do will bo to got thom all pulled out? Thon lie can purchaseta brand now, machino made sot and bo exempt from toothache all tho rest of his life. This is, o? course, nothing now in tho making and using of artificial teeth, hut it will be easily seen that tho manufacture by machinery presents great advantages. When tho making of watches by ma chinery was started, thqr$ wore many protests that the now way would novor bo as good as tho old. But tho exact ness soon attained, and tho convonlonco of having the parts interchangeable brought about a revolution, and the factory watches now rank abovo the hund-made. The same advantage will bo had in the factory tooth. If ono set gets broken, or comos out, an oxactly similar one can bo ordered from tho factory at very small cost. If the plate gots cracked it can he replaced in tho wino way. All that will bo necessary will bo to give the number of tho plate and a new ono, precisely Uko tho old, will bo sent by return mail. *^ A wealthy mau who obtains bis wealth honestly and uses it rightly, ia a grout blessing lo tho community) Kosolvo to edge in a little roading every day, if it is but a eiugle sentence; if you gain fifteen minutos a day, it will mako Itself folt at tho ond ot the yoavr.
