Here, as elsewhere, he was received with the utmost courtesy and kindness, and with a warm proffer of assistance, which the detective most gladly accepted.

He detailed the circumstances of the robbery and his long pursuit of the escaping burglar, and also his strong belief that Duncan was now hiding in the city.

The marshal fully coincided with his views, and promised to aid him to the utmost of his ability.

He then furnished Manning with the address of Duncan's relative, and the detective started out to find the locality to which he had been directed.
He soon discovered the place he was looking for, located on the second floor of one of the larger buildings in the city, and over the entrance was suspended the sign: GEORGE DUNCAN, CLOTHIER.
Mounting the stairs without hesitation, the detective entered the store, where he found to his intense satisfaction the merchant at home.

He was assured of this fact from the striking resemblance which the man bore to his fugitive relation.
