"I give you joy of the capture, Mr.
Wild," he added, as Jonathan came up, and assisted him to secure and disarm the prisoner.

"I was coming to give you intelligence of a comical trick played by this rascal, when I find him here--the last place, I own, where I should have expected to find him." "You've arrived in the very nick of time," rejoined Jonathan; "and I'll take care your services are not overlooked." "Mr.Ireton," cried Jack, in accents of the most urgent entreaty, "before you take me hence, I implore you--if you would further the ends of justice--search this house.

One of the most barbarous murders ever committed has just been perpetrated by the monster Wild.

You will find proofs of the bloody deed in his room.

But go thither at once, I beseech you, before he has time to remove them." "Mr.Ireton is welcome to search every room in my house if he pleases," said Jonathan, in a tone of bravado.
