His dress was untidy and ill-fitting, owing to tho fact th a t be paid very lit* tlo attention to outward appearances, He liked a man of his own ilk, but he hated, as ho said, “them as put on airs bokaa thoy’d mod a bit o’ money.” Accompanying him wasVelasquez, tho man whomWilcox despised abovoall tho many despicable people ho bad mot in tho course of a long llfo-time. “Hello,’ said Wilcox, in his. free and easy manner, to tho justice, “wbat’s n p r , • ' He had like every one else hoard all about tho tragedy, but felt bound to give vont to tho stereotyped inquiry. Tho old gontloman walked across to tbo justice, and sat down beside him while tho administrator of -law and or- dor related to. him tbo moro recent de­ velopments of tho case. Whon Wilcox heard that Anton Roy* man was charged with tho murder ho excitedly jumped from bis scat and shouted: “Why you thunderin’blockheads, you ore not going to commit an honest man like Reyman for the uiurdor of Mario Delaro, just because ho had a few angry words with him and happened to be tho first man to follor him out of tho collars laat night?” “Thoro seems to bo no alternative,’’ •aid. the justice, “but you may rest as­ sured he will have a fair trial,” “Ah, by God, that be shall,” said tho bluff Yankee, “if i t takes every cent of money I’ve got to secure i t Dammit, he’s no moro guilty of that crime than bis poor little baby is.” As he spoko these words—whether In­ tentionally or not—his glahce wandered towards Velasques, ^who was in the Tootnr and it atruckhlm that Velasquez winced. Then, he crossed over to 'Anton and Said: “Cheerup old boy and keep a good (heart. If there’s any justice in these parts a t all you shall get f t ” - Then turning to Velasquez, bo said: “And as for yoe, I suppose now that Delaro Is out of the way you arepleased a t the bottom of your hard heart, You’ll be trying next to turn tbs widow out of her house and home in order to g it money to throw Serosa the tables up to Frisco.

With tho assistance and advice of Jpel .'Wilcox, Mrs. Delaro was preparing to dispose of her house and leave the dis­ trict. Thanks to the old Yankeo’s busi­ ness tact, she found that she had suf­ ficient money loft from the proceeds of the sale to keep her in comfort for a number of years. Still she was anxious to be rid of the house also . In any ease she would havo boon com­ pelled to sell itahortly afterwards, for on tbo twentieth of tbo month, thirty days after Delaro’s death, a notice was served’ on the executors of tbo estate to the effeot that a,note for (950,000) fifty-thousand dollars drawn in favor of Loon Velas­ quez and discounted by him in San Francisco, was duo and must bo paid in throe daya ' j , ThlB threwanew ligh ten affairs, and Mrs. Delaro was amazed. Why bad her, husband given Velasquez a note a t' thirty days for such an amount of money? She was utterly unable to solve the riddle, and at ones sought her old friond for aid. This is what old Joel- Wiloox, tho millionaire, said about it: “You kin dopond upon it, Mrs. Delaro; that there is moro in this than you or I know at present. 'This note that’s a lyin’ in the bank for you .to meet was drawn on tho night that my friend Mario was murdered, and I’m as suro that it’s got sumtbin’ to do with that dirty work; as 1 am that Anton Reyman Is innocent of it aiL Tho noto’U hev to bo met, but It’ll knock a big hole in what you got out of tho salo o’ tho vineyard to do it. So whon you’re toady to soil your houso don’t go to anybody olso. I'll buy it and givo you a fair prlco for It,” Mrs. Delaro was much stirred by old Wilcox’s .words, and it was with a btsttcbed face that sho looked up a t tho mg millionaire, and said: “Mr. Wilcox, do you think for ono moment that Leon Volasquoz had any thing to do with the death of my poor husband?” “ Yes 1 do,” was tho reply, “and what’s more I’m going to find out just how much ho did hov to do^ with it, or my namo ain’t Joel Wilcox.’’ “I don’t liko to think this without some good grounds for the belief,*’ said the beautiful woman; “but 1 will arouse myself a t onco, I am unusually quiet and do not as a rulo jump'st con­ clusions; but when my husband was cruelly taken from mo *it seemed a* though my heart had been forcibly torn from its place to bo roplaeod by a spirit of revenge.

Joel Wilcox* started, for. S*u Franoisop, to learn what he could about the money which .Veils?' quez had raised, on the note. i V 1 For this purpose he Hailed a t the of­ fice of Crandall & Ca, Investment*, brokers.. Delaro had often told him .that ho was In the habit of doing a lit­ tle speculating occasionally through this bouse, Velasquez invariably con-, ducting tho deals. *So 'Wilcox naturally thought this would be a good starting point. ■On entering th« office, he inquired for Mr. Crandall, and was ushered In to .the gentleman’Aprlyate room. » As soon, as Mr, Cr^ndalL hoard the nanio of his caller he pricked up his ears end was immediately prepared to *ct asr obsequiously as an obsequious man poBSibly could, undorBuoh circum­ stances. . For Jool. Wilcox was .a well-known, man . in Frisco, his ehormous wealth being a matter of publlo gossip, and the little lynx-eyed broker thought ho. was in for a good stroke of business,.bo of courso surmising that tho millionaire was on the lookout for ah investment. In this, as wo know, bo was doomed to disappointment. ‘Tbe broker foresaw what was coming whon Mr. Wilcox asked: “Do you know if Loon VolasquBZ is in town, 3 Mr. - Crandall?” , Now, tho broker and Velasquez were “bosom cronies,” having worked' many quiet and sometime* .shady, deal* together. Still, the..,, broker was by far the YOU WERE mqPIKINO ABOUT UR. VE- 1VAHQUEZ?" shrewder of the two men, and while Velasques brought tbo lambs to tlio slaughter Crandall managed to catch most of tho blood Therefore, when this question was suddenly sprung upon him he was docidodly surprised, but at tho samo tlrao was too old In tho busi­ ness to betray.any undue agitation. “ Mr. Volasquoz. Ab, yes, I remember bit'n now; the gontloman from San Puo- la?" ho 6 qld, with assumed indiiforcnco." “Rut why do you como here In search of that gentleman, Sir. Wilcox; i t is hardly jjrobablo that i should be aware of tho fact ovon if ho did happon to bo in town. Hia calls boro are exceedingly few and far botwcon, liko angols’ visits, as it wore, if I c 'ty bo permitted to mako uso of such un old and familiar expres­ sion." “What a lie,” thought his clerk, (a young Englishman) who bad without intention left tho door ajar when ho ushered Mr. Wilcox into the private room, and thus heard tho remarks as he sat a t his desk in tho public office. “Well," said Mr. Wilcox, “I have been informed that ha had a good many business transaction* with you and that this wouMbos likely plaoe to findhim.” “Yes,” tha littls broker responded, “Mr, Velasques oertalnly did have some husinaaa to transact with me but hia visits here wars always of tho moat formal nature, and We were hot on such terms that Xoould be supposed to know much of hia movements while in this city.” The clerk outside had become Interested by this time and mentally ajaculsted: “What a liar!” “ I am not the sort of man to heat around the bush, and I may as well be plain with you,” said Mr. Wilcox. ‘You have of odurae, heard of my friend Mario Delaro’* murder near his 0 *?n wine cellars on the night of the twenty-first of Iasi month?” “Yes, I did hoa'r of tbe sad oocur- ance,” was the rejoinder. Joel Wilcox continued: “The week before that mur­ der Mr. Delaro told me of a deal he mads with you, though Velasques. In •oto* mining stock that t»l& big, and I ’m hero as a representative of Delaro’s widow to know if thd matter ha* over been fixed up.” , - “ Yes, I believe i t has,” replied Crandall; “ but to make sure l will step Around to the office of the broker who sold the stock for Velasques and In­ quire if tbs money has b*sn paid;” say­ ing which herrote to ge arid' handed Mr. Wilcox a newspaper to tesd during hia jqmporaty abeenoo.

At this Mr. Wilcox rose to leave, fdr he felt that tho interview with tho clerk would serve his purpose far better than any quantity of talk with tbo un­ principled broker. With many polite farewells and. expressions of Amps for futuro interviews, as well as regret* at tlio shortness of the present visit (or tiroly upon the part of the broker, how­ ever), the two men parted. . Punctually a t the hour of nino Cran­ dall’s clerk put in his appearance at the Palace Hotel and was shown.up£b Mr. Wilcox's room. * Ho introduced himself by means of a card bearing the legend: “Peryr Beau­ fort Lovel." . “Now, Mr. Percy Roaufort Love..”4*®* the jovial host, “I guess you know 'good cigar when you try one, so help yoursolf out of that box on the table; and I know you can drink a glass of wine, else you ain't English. So sit you down and I’ll call for some of the genuino article, then wo’ll havo a talk. But suppose, instead of calling you Mr. Percy Beaufort Lovel, we drop part of that dime novel title and call you plain Percy?” The Englishman made no demur to any of these suggestions; so the wine was brought in, and, undor its steadily- increasing influence, ho told tho mill­ ionaire all ho knew about Velasquez. “So you say ho was squeezed into a corner the day boforo the murder," askod Wilcox. “Yes, and a pretty tight one. too,” was tho rojoindor, “but, as ho loft tho office. I beard him tell Mr. Crandall that ho would get the money in throo days by fair means or by foul.” “Whowl” was tho only reply. Then Percy proceeded and told what had tiapponed sinco, how Valasquez bought up tbo mining stock certificates, and sold them at a sleek profit, and how ho had hold a note for fifty thousand dol­ lars, given him by Delaro, which Cran­ dall managed by false representations to get discounted for him on the quiet Finally, Lovel told how only a week ago, Velasquez came into tho office and wont with Crandall to cash a check for a good part of forty thousand dollars which ho said was tho. proceeds of tho sbaro in tho salo of tho I’osada vine­ yards. Lovel gavo it as his opinion that Valnsquez had started East with very little short of a hundred thousand dollars cash money la his possession. “Do you know which way h e . went?” asked Air. Wilcox. “No, I do not, sir,” was tho reply. “Now, como, Percy, wo. shall get along a good deal better without any of that kind of business. Don’t ‘Sir* mu any more,” said tho plain-spoken Yan­ kee. Lovel smiled and continued: “Velas­ quez said lie might stop a t Denver awhile, but be expected to be in Chica­ go inside of ten days. ” This information woke up the mill lonaire and bo said: “Then timo is precious. Ato yOu willing to go with me to San Paola to-morrow, Percy?” “Well,” said Lovel, “the question la rather sudden, Mr. Wiloox, sad I might loso my place if 1 go without Mr. Cran­ dall's permission.” “Curse your positidnl4' ejaculated Wilcox. “Come with me and help to run that Villain to Carth and I'll sco tha t j'on ha te a position As long as 1 live.” “That settles it,” said Percy, “I’ve been drifting all over for the last seven years atkl I may asWall keep It up.” Tho next day the millionaire and hia new-found friend, the . poor English clerk, started off to Han Paola together And forged lifikSof friendship that were only snapped by death.
