" The husband and wife fell into
each other's arms. And Judge Boompointer, gazing upon the
affecting spectacle, burst into tears.
From that day John Jenkins was an altered man.

PROLOGUE.
The following advertisement appeared in the "Times" of the 17th of
June, 1845:--
WANTED.--A few young men for a light genteel employment.
Address J. W., P. O.
In the same paper, of same date, in another column:--
TO LET.--That commodious and elegant family mansion, No. 27
Limehouse Road, Pultneyville, will be rented low to a respectable
tenant if applied for immediately, the family being about to remove
to the continent.
Under the local intelligence, in another column:--
MISSING.--An unknown elderly gentleman a week ago left his lodgings
in the Kent Road, since which nothing has been heard of him. He
left no trace of his identity except a portmanteau containing a
couple of shirts marked "209, WARD."
To find the connection between the mysterious disappearance of the
elderly gentleman and the anonymous communication, the relevancy of
both these incidents to the letting of a commodious family mansion,
and the dead secret involved in the three occurrences, is the task
of the writer of this history.
