Burger’s Whereahouts Known. The Lns Angeles Times says that the whereabouts of Edward Burger, form- erly of Broad River, who recently mar- ried Mrs. A L. Hord,.of Los Angeles, is known to the police. Burger skipped out of Norwalk some time since, leav- ing Mrs. Burger No. 2 penniless, going to California. where he committed bi..- amv by marrying Mrs. Herd. In speaking of Burger, Mrs. Burger No. 3 says: “Burger tried to get me to mor, age my furniture to give him money, but I would not do so. I did get $75 on it for him, but that is all. He never paid a dollar of house rent and made me contract debts, knowing that my credit was good. All these he left me to pay, and when he found out he could get no money from me, he de- serted me. I loved him once, but my love for him is dead. I’ll prosecute ' him to the full extent of the law if he can be found. I will not let him dupe another innocent woman, as he has done me.” State Conventions. The Republicans of Vermont held their state convention in Burlington. Josiah Grout was nominated for gov- ernor and a strong sound money and protection platform was adopted. Great enthusiasm was aroused by the men- tion of McKinley’s name. The Democrats of Maine held their state c mvention in Portland yesterday. The saddle” A Question.

The fare was an elegatly-drcsserl man of a. little over 30, wearing his silk hat just a de- gree or two out of the perpendicular, and sniffing the carnation in the lapel of his frock coat. He entered the. bank, passed through the private door leading behind the counters and had taken off his hat- and coat, while the manager of the branch glanced at the letter he had brought. It was 21-11 ordinary letter of introduc» tion from the general manager of the company, stating that the bearer was Arthur Gordon Durrant, whose signa- ture would be found attached, and who had, in accordance with advices pre- viously forwarded, been instructed-to join the Westminster branch on tem- porary service as relief cashier. The manager having watched this new member of his staff sign the book, mechanically compared the autograph with the firm, bold “Arthur G. Durra fit” at the foot of the letter of introduction, handed the newcomer his supply of cash and retired into his 0an sanctum Arthur Gordon Durrant, who had now been with the London and Suburbs Banking company for some years, had long been eagerly anticipating the time when he should become attached to one of the London branches, for it had been Durrant’s fate to spend a. month or two at most. of those branches which were at the greatest distance from the metropolis. The specific hardship of this destiny will not be apparent until it is men- tioned that it was in Kensington. that Miss Florence Kendal abode, and that, therefore, Kensington was the center of the universe, according to Durrant’s geography. .,,. ....-- «1A,, ,; --. frank about the heart affairs of a. lady, Miss Kendal had not heard the news f her admirer’s transference to Lon- don without revealing a. glow of pleas- ure. Her father had arranged to call for Arthur at the bank and bring him home to tea; and as the hour of their antici- pated arrival approached, the sprightly Florence’s trills became merrier, and more critical became her inSpect-ions of the pretty dimpled face, framed with clusters of loose and wayward brown curls, which smiled saucily at her when- ever she passed a mirror.

His cash was then overhauled, and—shall I go on, F10?” The girl would not trust her voice. She nodded a pained assent. “There w as found to be missing cs5, 000 in gold and a. smaller amount in notes Of course, there was only one inference to be drawn.” “Not that Arthur—~” Poor Florence- could not frame the sentence. Her father interrupted the attempt. “W e 1I, my child, there can be no other possible explanation. The y oung man is now being hunted for all over the country, and the manager told me he had wired to the head office for instruc— ’ tions about issuing a reward.” Had the door opened a second later Florence would have been in hysterics. But her fat-her had involuntarily called: “Come in!” in,response to the knock, and the parlor maid tripped over to Mr. Kendal with a card upon the solver. Had it been a message from a. mahat— ma, precipitated through the substan- tial ceiling under which he sat, he could not have been more astounded. Sudden- ly he jumped up, and, without- a word, darted through the door. There in the 21.111, looking ill and pale, but obviously in the highest. spirits his foebleness permitted, stood Arthur Dur- rant. It was with a. mingling of blank astonishment and distant constraint that Mr. Kendal met the young man’s cordial greeting. But Florence, with a little scream, ran at him, and was caught in an em- brace which she returned with an inter- est which Arthur willingly set off against the father’s chilliness. “My w 0rd! it was an adV enture. VV asn 't it?” said Arthur, reluctantly dis- <~ ngaging himself from the £9 tt-ers around his neck. Mr. Kendal preserved a noncommittal silence. “Haven’t you heard?” pursued Arthur, correct-1y divining the meaning of this strange reception. “They’ve got the couple, and, so far as is at present know 11, they’ve recovered every farthing of the money.” “Begin at. the cominencement, Ar- thur,” said Mr. Kendal, as soon as the house had finished the spinning motion which the rapid succession of startling events had given to it. in his distorted impressions. “It has been done by poople who have a good acquaintance with banking prac- tices, ” be commenced, “as you will see as I proceed.

Yes, last night, before I had been in my lodgings an hour—I had ar— rived at Euston at 7:35—1 received a note brought by hand, stating that Cecil Horsham, whose name I know as that of one of our directors, would like to see me immediately on urgent; business ad- mitting of no delay, if I would favor him by forgetting for the ‘moment. that it. was Sunday evening. “No. 18 Grantham square was the ad- dress at. the head of the note, and I took a cab there immediately. Of course, be- ing unaware of the exact nature of the business, I thought I would let Mr. Horsham see, at all events, that I was not without intelligence, and I there- fore took my bank papers, not dreaming that it could be anything outside of bank affairs. “You know what fine houses they are in Grantham square? Well, 18 was a handsome place, and I have rarely seen agrander room than that into which I was shown. The pictures were—” “Yes; leave out. the description for the present, Arthur, dear, and you can tell us that afterward.” “Well, it was a. place which would have impressed anyone, and that’s how it affected me. I had just had time to take in my surroundings when a. lady, young-middle-aged, of very stately bearing, richly dressed, came in. Her husband, Mr. Horsham, would not be long. He had taken a cab to the resi- dence of one of the other directors. There was something of vital impor- tance pending, and she hoped I would be worthy of the trust Mr. Horsha-m had decided to place in me. “In her grand and yet very pleasing manner she invited me to take a glass of wine while waiting for Mr. Horsham, and she .so took it for granted that I Would accept her hospitality I did not dream of declining.

I must have been overcome by it in a few moments, for I recollect nothing more at- this time.” “Oh, how terrible!” ejaculated Flor- ence, in the deepest concern. “Yes; it’s getting quite melodramat- ic,”.wa.s Mr. Kendal’s comment. “Don’t mind father’s interruptions, Arthur. Goon.” “My first sensation on coming round was a most. awful racking pain- in the head, a feeling such as that left by too much whisky over night—according to. all the descriptions I have heard,” added Arthur, hastily. “I involuntarily groaned and was about to turn over on my side, when either a sponge or a. handkerchief, sat- urated, I presume, with chloroform, was clasped over my mouth and nose. I had neither the wit nor the energy to resist, and again. I lost- consciousness. “The next time I came. round there was, fortunately, nobody in, the room, and I had time to regain my presence of mind partially before a man and n: 3",.1. .,, rific. tones of the pseudo Mrs. Horsham— sug' ested that I ought to have a little more chloroform in ca so I a“ oke, but; the man replied to her that they didn t; want to corpse me, and that. chloroform was: too dangerous to use any more than necessary, as it was sometimes fatal even w hen administered by sk1’led doctors. “However, he was kind enough to» add that, when he was gone, thewomatn- was to be sure and send me‘off again fulncss. “Gradually their scraps of convorsav plot, w ich, I suppose, has been pretty free from narcotic control. “It was about three hours after the man’s departure, I should' 1magi11e that the woman left, after bending over me and deceivingherself that I was still unconscious. “Reflections showed. me that, as ulti- mately proved't‘o. be the case, these two people had taken these grand apart— ments and paid) a. handsome sum in ad- vance, merely with the object of obtain- ing a. place to which to decoy me. “I rang the bell, got the people. of the house to wire~to Scotland yard and, then, apparently, relapsed into stupid- ity, for I remember a doctor attend-- ing me before I could make myself intel- ligible to the police inspector. “I was able to tell him, thanks tot-her scraps of conversation I had overheard, that Newhaven,.for Dieppe, was the dos-- tination of the thieves; and, sure enough, the local police, acting upon instructions, telegraphed to them, met' the couple as they detruined and begged them effectually.” Florence was still looking puzzled, and Arthur had; to supply a. few more details. “Don’t- you see that while they" had me there here d'u combat in Grantham square the man, armed with my-letter of introduction, marched down tothe That he cOuld easily do, because thor isn’t a soul there who had ever seen me.
