In the course of an hour the front door bell 'rang violentlY, and' two young men, of eminently; gentle manly exterior, were ushered into the room. Seeing • two strangers seated there, they were considerably astonish ed, and muttered eomething about ex pecting to find Mr. Vaughan, "All right, sir,!' said the detective; _" I will • lead you to him, when I have had a moment's-conversation with you.

The' amount must be, all agreed, very great4o (have .enabled the conspirators to keep Up so good a style. This difficulty was easily solved. One'of the Policemen on watch had Seerx'the yoUng men, issue 'from a house a few doors distant froth the 'one occu ci by -Vaughan,- and -his. el i ster. On repairing thither, startling revela tions took place. It was found that Mrs. Wilson had been the mauageress of a baby institution, and derivied large Trait therefrom. Bow' she obtained the children, is and ever will be amys tery. Certain it is, that the police when they searched the house, discoveiedsev , eral infants, and all the necessary-ap pliances for many more. The mirse in charge (for the babies were well atten ded) stated that a great number, had been sent away at various • times; and 'the only probable 'solution of this sin 'gular matter was,That there existed in.
