Gipsy's project was certainly laudablo and prompted by the noblest aentlmcnts. Unfortunately It was Im practicable. Besides, It would be going -counter to tho plans of the detective. "What will you gain by acting thus, 37 dear niadame?" asked Fanfcrlot ""-Nothing. I can assure you that you avo not the least chance of success. Ton will compromise Prosper. Who Jrnows If you will not be suspected as Ills accomplice? M. Bertomy expressly forbade such a course In his letter." Mmc. Gipsy remained thoughtful for a. moment, then a ray of light seemed 3o cross her mind, and she cried: "Oh, I understand nowl Fool that I was for not seeing It beforel But where am I to go?" "Did not M. Bertomy say, my dear lady, to tho other end of Paris to a boarding house or hotel?" "But I don't know where to And my." ITanfcrlot seemed to bo reflecting, but ie had great dlfllculty In concealing .Is delight at a sudden Idea that flash fl upon him. His little black eyes clrly danced with Joy. 'I know of a hotel," he said at last, "bm It might not suit you." "Wi-erc Is It?" "On tho other side of tho river, Qua! St. Michel tho Archangel, kept by Mmo. Alexandre." Mmc. Nina was never long making np her mind. . "Hero are writing materials. Wrlto your recommendation." "With these three lines," he said, handing her tho letter, "you can mako Mmc, Alexandre do anything you wish." "Very well. Now how am I to let Cavalllon know my address? It Is he who should havo broucht mo Proiper's letter." "ECo was unable to come, dear ma dome," Interrupted tho detective. "But 1 -will tcH him where he can And you." Mmc. Gipsy was about to send for a " rrlagc, but Fanfcrlot said he was In linrrv nml would solid her olio. He seemed to bo In luck that day, for a Vb was passing the door, and ho hail-r-edit. "Walt hero," ho said to tho driver after telling him that he was a detec tive, "for a llttlo brunette who Is pack ing her trunks. If she tells you to arlvo her to Qual St. Michel, crack your whip. If she gives you any other address, get down from your seat and tnngo your harness. I will keep In eight" He stopped across tho street and stood In the door of n wine store. lie liad not long to wait. In a few min utes the loud cracking of a whip ap nrlsoil lilm that Mine. Nina had started .or the Archangel. .' "Aha!" said ho gayly. "I hold her, at any ratel" CHAPTER III. T the same hour that Mmc. Nina Gipsy went to ilnd ref uge at the Archangel, eo highly recommended by Fan ferlot the Squirrel, Prosper Bertomy was being entered on the Jailer's book At the police olllce. There he had to wait two hours while the commissary went to receive orders from higher au thorities. When It was announced to him that a coach was waiting for him at the door, ho got up, but before going out requested permission to light a ci gar, which was granted. It was mag nificent weather, a bright spring morn ing. As tho coach went along Mont martro street Prosper kept his head out of tho window, smilingly complain ing tit being Imprisoned on such a love ly day when everything outside was bo eunity and pleasant. "It Is slngul&r," ho said. "I never felt so great a deslro to tako a walk." To the court clerk while he was go ing through tho formalities of tho com mitment Prosper replied with haughty brevity to tho Indispensable questions asked him. But when he was ordered to empty his pockets on the table ond they be gan to search him his eyes Hashed with indignation, and a slnglo tear dropped upon his Hushed cheek. In an Instant ho had recovered his calmness and stood up motionless, with his arms raised in tho air so that tho rough crea tures about him could more convenient ly search him from head to foot to as sure themselves that he had no, suspi cious object hid under his clothes. Tho Investigation would have, per haps, been carried to tho most Igno minious lengths but for tho Interven tion of a mlddlo aged man of distin guished appearance, who wore a white cravat and gold spectacles and was nlttlng by tho fire. At sight of Prosper lie started with surprise and seemed much agitated. Ho stepped forward and seemed about to speak to him, then suddenly chanced his mind nod sat down again. In spite of his own troubles, the cashier could not help seeing that this man kept his eyes fas tened upon him. Did ho know him? Vainly did he try to recollect having met him before. This man, treated with all the deference duo to a chief, was no less a personage than a cele brated member of the detective corps, M. Loeoq. When the men who were searching Prosper were about to tako off his boots, saying that a knife might bo concealed In them, M. Lccoq waved them aside, saying, "That Is suffi cient" He was obeyed. All the formalities being ended, tho unfortunate cashier was taken to a narrow cell. The heav ily barred daar was swung to and lock ed upon him. He breathed freely. At last he was alone. Yes, he believed himself to be alone. Ho was Ignorant that a prison is made of gloss; that the accused Is like a miserable Insect un der tho microscope of an entomologist He did not know that tho walls have stretched ears and eyes always watch ful. He was so sure of being alone that he at once gave vent to his sup pressed feeling and, dropping his mask of Impassibility, burst Into a flood of tears. Ills wrath, long pent up, now flashed out like a smoldering fire. In a paroxysm of rage he uttered impreca tions and curses, no dashed himself against the prison walls like a wild beast In a cage. In the evening when the Jailer brought him his supper he found him lying on his pallet with his face burled in the pillow, weeping bitter tears. He was not hungry. Now that he was alone, ho fed upon his own bitter thoughts. He sank from a state of frenzy Into one of stupefying despair. The night was long and terrible, and for the first time ho had nothing to count the hours by as they slowly dragged on but the measured tread of the patrol who came to relieve the sentinels. He suffered agony. In the morning he dropped Into a sleep, from which he was awakened by tho rough voice of the Jailer. "Come, monsieur," ho said, "to the Judge of Instruction." "Let us go," eald Prosper, without stopping to repair his disordered toilet During the passage tho Jailer said, "You aro very fortunate in having your case brought before an honest man." The Jailer was right Endowed with rcmarkablo penetration, firm, unbiased, equally free from false pity and ex cessive severity, M. ratrlgent possess ed In an1 eminent degree all tho quali ties necessary for the delicate nml dif ficult olllco of Judge of Instruction. Prosper was escorted along n corri dor, through n room full of policemen, down a flight of steps, across n kind of cellar and then up a steep staircase which seemed to have no end. Finally he reached a Jong, narrow gallery, upon which opened many doors bearing dif ferent numbers. Summoning nil his courage, ho placed his hand on the doorknob nnd was about to enter when the Jailer stopped him. "Don't" bo In such haste," he said. "Sit down here, and when your turn comes you will bo called." Tho wretched man obeyed, and his keeper took a seat beside him. Presently a llttlo old man dressed In black, wearing tho insignia of his of fice, a steel chain, cried out: "Prosper Bcrtomyl" Prosper nrose and, without knowing how, found himself In tho olllce of tho Judge of Instruction. M. Patrlgent's homely face, with Its Irregular outline and short red whis kers, lit up by a pair of bright, Intelli gent eyes and a kindly expression, was calculated to Impress one favorably at first sight "Well," he said abruptly, "you arc accused of having robbed M. Fauvel of 350,000 francs. What have you to answer?" "That I am Innocent, monsieur; J swear that I nm Innocent." "I hopo you are," said M. ratrlgent, "and you may count upon mo to assist you to tho extent of my ability In prov ing your Innocence. Have you any thing to say in your defense?" "All, monsieur, what can I say when I cannot understand this dreadful busi ness myself? I can only refer you to iny past life." The Judge Interrupted him with an Impatient gesture. "Let us to specific. Tho robbery was committed under circumstances that prevent suspicion from falling upon any ono but M. Fauvel and your self. Do you suspect any one else?" "No, monsieur." "You declare yourself to bo Innocent; therefore tho. guilty party must bo M. Fauvel." Prosper did not answer. "Havo you," persisted tho 1udge, "any cause for believing that M. Fau vel robbed himself? If you have, say so." Tho prisoner preserved a rigid H lence. "I see, monsieur," said the Judge, "that you need tlmo for reflection. Listen to tho reading of your examina tion, and nftor signing It you will re turn to prison." Tho unhappy man was overcome. Tho last ray of hopo was gone. Ho signed tho paper without looking at It. Ho tottered as ho left tho Judge's of fice so that tho keeper was forced to support him. If Prosper had remained an hour lon ger in tho gallery, ho would havo seen tho same bailiff who had called him come out of tho Judge's olllco and cry out: "Number threel" Witness No. 3, who was awaiting his turn a ii (i answered uio can, was m. Fauvel. Although ho had very slightly ex amined Prosper, tho Judge was now scrupulously nttcntivo and particular in having every question answered. "Dfd you over suspect your cashier of being dishonest?" ho asked. "Certfllnly not. Yet there wcro a ? V Y y Y V V Y Y Y Y Y V V Y if Y Y Y Y Y V Y Y Y Y Y y Y v y y V Y Y Y Y y y ! ?

BULL) VX ALLi Df-Al-l-lu. in nu.-A&-i-- ", -X"!' aaaaaaaaA thousand 'reasons which" should havo made me distrustful." "What reasons?" "M. Bertomy gambled. I have known of his spending whole nights at the gaming table and loBlng immense sums of money. He was Intimate with a bad set Once he was mixed up with one of my clients, M. de Clameran, in a scandalous gambling affair." "You must confess, monsieur," Inter rupted the Judge, "that you were very Imprudent not to say culpable, to have intrusted your safe to such a man." "Ah, monsieur, Prosper was not al ways thus. Until the past year he was a model of goodness. He was received into my house as one of my family. He spent all of his evenings with us and was the bosom friend of my eldest son, Luclcn. Then suddenly ho left us nnd never came to the house again. Yet I had every reason to believe him attached to ray niece Madeleine." "Then you can see no motlvo for your cashier's conduct?" The banker paused to reflect "It Is Impossible for mc to account for It. I have, however, always sup nosed that Prosper was led astray by a young man whom he met nt my house I obout this time, M. Haoul do Lngors." "Ah! And who Is this young man?" "A relative of my wife, n charming follow, but somewhat wild, though rich enough to pay his way." The Judge listened attentively to this, then wrote the name Lago-rs nt the bottom of an already long list of ills memoranda. "Now," ho said, "we aro coming to the point. You are sure that the rob bery was not committed by any In your house?" "Quite sure, monsieur." "You always kept your key?" "Usually I carried It about on my person, and whenever I left It at homo I put It In tho secretary drawer In my bed chamber." "Where was It the evening of the robbery?" "In my secretary." "But then" "Pardon mo for Interrupting you," said M. Fauvel, "and permit mo to tell you that to a safe llko mine the key Is of no Importance. In the first place, ono must know the word upon which tho Ave movable buttons turn. With tho word one can open It without the key, but without tho word" "And this word you never told to any one?" "To no ono In the world, monsieur, and sometimes I would have been puz zled to know myself with what word tho safe had been shut" "Had you forgotten It on tho day of tho theft?" "No; tho word had been changed the day before, and Its peculiarity struck me." "What was It?" "Glpy G-1-p-s-y," said the banker, spelling tho name. ' M. Patrlgent wrote down the name. "One more question, monsieur. Wero you at homo tho evening before the robbery?" "No; I dined and spent the evening with a friend. When I returned homo about 1 o'clock, my wife was In bed, and I went to bed Immediately." "And you wero Ignorant of what sum there was In the safe?" "Absolutely. After my positive or ders I could only suppose that a small sum had been loft there over night I stated this fact to tho commissary In M. Bertomy's presence, and ho ac knowledged It to be tho case." "That will do, monsieur." M. Patrlgent was well Informed of tho high standing of tho banker and knew almost as much of his affairs as did M. Fauvel himself. Ho asked him to sign his testimony and then escorted him to the door of his olllce, a rare favor on his part. Flvo o'clock struck before tho list of witnesses summoned for the day was exhausted, but the task of M. Patrl gent was not yet finished. He rang for his bailiff, who Instantly appeared, and snld to him: "Go at once and bring Fanfcrlot here." It was some tlmo before tho detec tive answered tho summons, navlng met n colleague on the gallery, he thought It his duty to treat hi in to a drink, and the bailiff had found It nec essary to bring him from the llttlo Inn nt the corner. "now Is ,lt that you keep people waiting?" said the Judge. Fanfcrlot bowed almost to tho fioor. Despite his smiling face, ho was very uneasy, To follow tho Bertomy case alone It required a double play that might be discovered at any moment. To manage at once the causo of Jus tice and his own ambition ho took great risks, the least of which was the oslug his place. "I have had n great deal to do," ho raid to excuse himself, "and havo not lost nny time." And he began to give n detailed ac count of 'his movements. Ho was em barrassed, for he spoko with nil sorts of restrictions, picking out what was to be said nnd avoiding what was to bo left unsaid. Thus he gave tho history of Cavalllon's letter, which ho banded to the Judge, but he did not breathe a word of Madeleine. On tho other hand, he gave biographical details, very mi nute Indeed, of Prosper and Mine. Gip sy, which he had collected from vari ous quarters. As lie heard the story M. Patrlgent's convictions were strength ened. "The young man Is evidently guilty," he said. Fanfcrlot did not reply. His opinion was different, but he was delighted that tho Judge was on tho wrong track, thinking that his own glory would thereby bo tlw greater when ho discov ered tho real culprit. The fact was that this grand discovery was as far off as It had ever been. After hearing all ho had to tell, the Judge dismissed Fanfcrlot, telling him to return In the morning. "Above nil," ho said as Fanfcrlot left tho room, "do not lose sight of tho girl Gipsy. She must know where tho money is and can put us on the track." Fanferlot smiled knowingly. "You may rest easy about that, mon sieur. The lady Is In good hands." Left to himself, although the even ing was far advanced, M. Patrlgent continued to busy himself with the case and to nrrango that the rest of the depositions should be made. This case had actually taken possession of his mind. It was at the same time puz zling and attractive. It seemed to be surrounded by a cloud of mystery, which he determined to penetrate. The next morning ho was In his of fice much earlier than usual. On this day he examined Mmc, Gipsy, called Cavalllon and sent again for M. Fau vel. For several days ho displayed tho samo nctlvlty. Of all the witnesses subpoenaed only two failed to appear. The first was the olllco boy sent by Prosper to bring the money from the hank. He was 111 from a fall. The second was M. Itaoul do I.agors. But their absence did not prevent tho file of papers relating to Prospor's case from growing, and on tho ensuing Monday, five days after the robbery, M. Patrlgent thought he held In his hands enough moral proof to crush the n reused. CHAPTER IV. UUING these minute Investi gations of his past life Pros per was In prison In a secret cell. Tho first two days had not appeared very long. He had re- quested and been granted some sheets of paiKir, numbered, which ho was obliged to account for, and he wrote with a sort of rage plans of defense and memoranda of Justification. The third day he began to bo uneasy at not seeing any ono except tho con demned prisoners who wcro employed to serve those confined In secret cells nnd the Jailer who brought him his food. "Am I not to be examined again?" ho would ask. "Your turn Is coming," tho Jailer In variably answered. Time passed, and the wretched man, tortured by the sufferings of solitary confinement, which quickly break the spirit, sank Into despair. "Am I to stay hero forever?" he moaned. The cell door opened, and the Jailer's gruff voice called out, "Cotuo to the court of instruction!" Ho Instantly obeyed the order. But his step was no longer unsteady, as a few days previous a complete change had taken place within lilm. Ho walk ed with head erect, a firm step and tho fire of resolution shining 111 his eye. Ho knew tho way now, and ho walked a little ahead of the guard who escort ed him. As ho was passing through the room full of olllcers ho met tho ilian with tho gold spectacles who had watched him so iuteutly tho day ho was searched. "Courage, M. Prosper Bertomy," he said. "If you aro Innocent, there nro those who will help you." Prosper started with surprise nnd was about to reply when the man dis appeared. "Who Is that gentleman?" ho asked of the guard. "Don't you know him?" replied the policeman, with surprise. "Why, It Is M. Lccoq of tho secret service." "You say his namo Is Lecoq?" "You might as well say 'monsieur,' " said tho offended policeman. "It would not burn your mouth. M. Lccoq Is a man who knows everything ho wants to know without Its ever being told to him. If you had had him Instead of that imbccllo Fanferlot, your case would have been settled long ago. No body Is .allowed to wasto tlmo when ho has command. But ho seems to bo a friend of yours." "I never saw him until tho first day I camo here." "You can't swear to that, because no ono Is suro of tho real face of M. Le coq. It Is ono thing today and anoth er tomorrow. Sometimes ho Is a dqrk man, sometimes a fair one, sometimes qulto young and then a centenarian. Why, often ho deceives even me. I be gin to talk to a stranger prestol It Is M. Lccoq! Anybody on the face of tho earth might bo he. If I were told that you wcro he, I should say, 'It Is possible.' He can convert himself Into any shapo and form he chooses." Tho guard would have continued for ever his praises of M. Lecoq had not the sight of the Judge's door put an end to then). This tlmo Prosper was not kept waiting on tho wooden bench. Tho Judge, on tho contrary, was wait ing for lilm.

"Ah, the prison has not been ft good counselor. You forget that sincerity and repentance are the flrst things nec essary to obtain the indulgence of a Judge. Will you be good enough to tell me," he added, "how much you have spent during the last year?" Prosper did not find It necessary to stop to reflect and calculate. "Yes, monsieur," he answered unhes itatingly. "Circumstances made It necessary for me to preserve the great est order in my extravagance. I spent about CO.000 francs." "Where did you get It?" "In tho flrst place, 12.000 francs was left to me by my mother. I received from M. Fauvel 14,000 francs as my salary' and share of the profits. At the Stock Exchange I gained 8,000 francs. The rest I borrowed and intend repay ing out of tho 15,000 francs which I have with M. Fauvel." "Who lent you the money?" "M. Ilaoiil de Lagors." This witness had left Paris the day of the robbery and could not be found. For the time being M. Patrlgent was compelled to rely upon Prospor's word. "Well," he said, "I will not press this point. But tell me why, in spite of the formal order ot M. Fauvel, you drew the money from the Bank of France the night before Instead of waiting till the morning of the payment" "Because M. de Clameran had told mo that It would bo agreeable, even necessary, for lilm to have his money early In the morning. He will testify to that fact If you ask him. I knew that I would reach my office late." "This M. do Clameran Is n. friend of yours?" "By no means. I have .always felt a sort of repulsion for him, but he Is tho Intimate friend of my friend, M. La gors.'" "One more thing," said the Judge. "How did you spend tho evening, the night of the crime?" "When I left my ofllce, at 5 o'clock, I took tho St. Germain train and went to Veslnet. M. de Lagors' country seat I can-led him 1.500 francs, which he had asked for, and, nut finding lilm at home, I loft it with his servant." "Did ho toll you that M. de Lagors was going on a Journey?"
