nnanswered oiy Lord help and deliverme In vain did I shout in vain did I wildly rush gainst the unyielding door in vain did 1 send up my Heaven No help came and I most tempted to give up in dispair At last there came a time when conecioOEness departed Aom me and at that darkest When I had recovered was lying on a sofa in a bandeomdly-fnr- nish room There were three persons around the sofa two gentlemen one of whom was a doctor and a young lady The eyes of the latter were filled with tears and though she did not know that I heard her she muttered words of deepest sympathy I had again ly eyes and now again I opened ihered mt with me aod telling ild call again in the e When ho left I was glad to sleep for I itterly worn out and sleep I did till oclock when I was aroused to have anotberv interview with the detective whom I found accompamed by the bono jide Steel this time The latter was hot with ire that he should have been lepte- seoted so successfully for such a purp Tliey had discovered that Petrie bad been a cleik in the telegraph office and that he hod isigDed his situation on the day that I had ln immured in the cel lar They had found too that he had been living a very fast Ufe and that tho manager at the office wbere he worked had not been sorry when h left for he had often been nnder the influence of liquor and he was scarcely to he trusted about important work They had further ascertained that two men had taken two fuiniahed rooms in the vacant iouse ad joining Mr Lo Raws on the evening be fore and though neither of them resesv- bled Petrie in appearance they had no doubt that it h been be in disguise They had telegraphed also to New York inquiring whether a person of Petries description either as he really was or as he appeared with the disguise bad been seen there and they hoped to have soma t information for me in the mom- I spent the rest of the evening in eiety of Annie Le Baw and her fa ther and rejoiced that ahe had done me good and her eyes beamed with pity as she talked of the tortures I most have nn- dergone In short I loved her or tincon- louely to herself the feeling wUch began aud bo ia time for the 7 o This fro I

had been inveighled to this den by fiorno clever scoundrel who had known of my having tho money and that bo and his Bcoomplico had looked mo up hero to prevent my being able to give iniormation of the

Scotch detective of the name of McLevy wo at lost hunted our prey down in tho city of Edinburgh Having ascertained that Petrie was a common name in Scotland we went to the capital of that country and there we got good aaaistanco Petrie bad dropped the character of a poor man which he had sustained while on board tho steamer and was now eustaining that of a million aire who had made a fortuno in
