Here it is." He drew forth a letter, and handed it
to Marcus.
Marcus immediately recognized the envelope and the address as similar
to those of the first letter, which he still had in his possession.
He pulled the letter nervously from its yellow sheath, and read as
follows:
MR. MINFORD:
DEAR SIR,--Pardon me for intruding on you a second time. But,
as a friend of virtue, I must warn you of continued danger to
your daughter from the acquaintance of Mr. Wilkeson, your
pretended benefactor. If you are any longer in doubt as to
the vile intentions of this man, conceal yourself from
observation within sight of Miss Pillbody's school, any fair
afternoon, about half past two o'clock, and watch his
actions. If his suspicious conduct, at that time and place,
does not give a sufficient significance to my warnings, then
take the trouble to go to ----, Westchester Co., where he was
born, and search into his infamous history. Take heed--I warn
you again--lest, in your devotion to science, you forget that
you are a father.
