To one of these Glassdale, on arriving in the old city, promptly proceeded--selecting the offerer of the larger reward.
He presently found himself in the presence of an astute-looking man who, having had his visitor's name sent in to him, regarded Glassdale with very obvious curiosity.
"Mr.Glassdale ?" he said inquiringly, as the caller took an offered chair.

"Are you, by any chance, the Mr.Glassdale whose name is mentioned in connection with last night's remarkable affair ?" He pointed to a copy of the weekly newspaper, lying on his desk, and to a formal account of the discovery of the Saxonsteade jewels which had been furnished to the press, at the Duke's request, by Mitchington.
Glassdale glanced at it--unconcernedly.
"The same," he answered.

"But I didn't call here on that matter--though what I did call about is certainly relative to it.

You've offered a reward for any information that would lead to the solution of that mystery about Braden--and the other man, Collishaw." "Of a thousand pounds--yes!" replied the solicitor, looking at his visitor with still more curiosity, mingled with expectancy.

"Can you give any ?" Glassdale pulled out the two handbills which he had obtained from Bryce.
"There are two rewards offered," he remarked.
