"What are you going to do?" asked the latter, when they were in the street.

"I am going to see Captain Manuel, and see if he really countenanced the changing of the bank-notes," replied Torry; "and you?"

"I intend to go at once to Wray House and see Miss Sandoval."

"You wish to find out what she knows?"

"Yes. I'll try and persuade her to tell me the truth."

"You'll be a clever man if you do that, sir. Well, good-bye and good luck," and Torry turned away. "I say!" he called out.

"Yes," said Darrel, with his foot on the step of a hansom.

The detective retraced his steps, and spoke in a low tone. "I am convinced of one thing," he said hastily. "Grent had those notes changed so that he could bolt with them. I don't believe Manuel asked him to change them.

"Leighbourne says he did."

"Yes, because Grent told him to say so. That good man deceived both Manuel and Leighbourne. He had the notes on him when he was murdered."
