N tlio Tarls evening papers of Tuesday. Feb. 23, 1S00, the following niuiouiicciiiL'Ut ap peared: "A grent robbery, committed ngnlnst no of our most liouornblc bankers, M. .Andro tfauvel, caused Intense exclte inent tlila morning throughout tho iiclgliborhood of the Hue do Provence. Tlio robbers with extraordinary skill and boldness succeeded In making an cntrnnco to tlio ofllces, In forcing tho lock of a safe that hns heretofore been considered impregnable and In getting nway with tho enormous Sum of 3.r0, OOO franca In bank notes. Tho uollce. (Immediately Informed of tho robbery, displayed their accustomed zeal, and their Investigations have been crowned nvlth success. Already, It Is said, one IF. II., a clerk tn the bank, has been -nrrested, and there Is every reason to (hope that his accomplices will be soon overtaken by tho hand of Justice." But this time the newspapers were Inaccurate In their Information. The sum of 350,000 francs ccrtnlnly had been stolen from M. Andro Knuvel's linnk, but not In the manner described, ffho following nre the facts as they ,ivero related with scrupulous exactness at the preliminary examination: Tho blinking house of Andro Fauvel, 87 Kite do Provence, Is nn Important establishment and, owing to Its large iforco of clerks, presents very much Hie nppenraneo of a government de partment. On tho ground lloor are the ofllces, with windows on tho street, iprotcctcd by strong Iron bars, sulll clently largo and close together to dis courage all burglarious attempts. M. IFauvol's private olliec Is on tho first Door over tho olllces and leads Into his private npartments. This private of fice communicates directly with tho lianlc by means of a nnrrow staircase, (Which opens Into the room occupied toy tho head cashier. This room, which Jn tho bank goes by the name of the '"cashier's otllee," Is proof against all nttneks, no matter how skillfully plan aied. Fastened In tho wnll by enor anous Iron clamps Is n safe, a formida ble and fantastic piece of furniture, calculated to fill with envy tho poor devil who easily carries his fortune In a pockctbook. SS Tho safe is opened by a curious little key. But this Is the least Important part of tho mechanism. Five movable etcol buttons, upon which are engraved all tho letters of tho alphabet, eonstl ftutc tho real power of this Ingenious ipleco of furniture. Before Inserting Uio key Into the lock the letters on the i buttons must bo In the exact position In which tboy were placed when tho Jeafo waa locked. In M. Fauvel's bank, :aa everywhere, tin safe was always closed with a word which was changed from tlnx to time. This word was known only to the head of tlK bank nnd the cashier. Tlwy each hnd also a 3ccy. There was but one danger that t forgetting the word which was In dispensable. I On tho morning of tho 28th of Feb ruary tlw employees weru all busy at tlclr vnrioue desks about lwilf past 0 o'clock when a mkVllo aged man of iery dark complexion and military -jboaring, tn deep mourning, presented admsolf: la tho ofllco adjoining the safe; fwbero lio found five or six employees. Ho nsked to see the cashier. Ho was Itold that tlio cashier had not yet ar rived nnd that tho cashroom was not epened till 10 o'clock, a notice of which .was posted In tho entry. I "I thought," he said In a tone of cool impertinence, "to find some one hero ready to attend to ray business, hav ing nrranged tho matter with M. Fau ,Tel yesterday. I am Count Louis do Clameran, nn Iron maker at Oloron, nnd have come to draw 300,000 francs deposited In this bank by my late brother, whoso heir I nm. It Is sur prising that no orders were given about It" 1 Neither the title of the noble manu facturer nor his explanations appeared to affect tho clerks. "Tho cashier has not yet arrived," "they repeated, "and wo can do nothing for you." i "Then conduct me to SI. Fauvel." J There was somo hesitation, then n fclcrlc named Cavalllon, who was writ 'Jng near a window, said: L"Tho chief Is always out at this our." I "Then I will call again," said M. de Clameran, And ho departed without saying "Good morning" or even touch ing his bat. "Not very polite," Bald llttlo Cavall 3'on. "But here comes Prosper." ' Prosper Bertomy, cashier of Fauvel's banking house, was a tall, handsome man of thirty, with light hair and bluo yes, and dressed In tho height of tho fashion. "Ah, hero you arc!" cried Cavalllon. 'Somo one has just been Inquiring for you." "Who? An iron manufacturer, waa it not?" "Precisely." JJVell, ho will return. Thinking that 3Uld bo lato tins morning, i as ,?d to tho matter yesterday." iisner had unlocked his ofllco and ho finished speaking entered nnd icd tho door behind him. 'hero is a cashier," exclaimed nno i clerks, "who never lets uuy & I'sturb him. Tho chief has quar- t rclea h him twenty uuiw "' "'"h effect upohlm whatever." "And with reason-ho knows ho can Kct anything ho jvants out thocblof. m b -w j " WH" rr;Mfc-. ----- -n-v-MtaiJMfrtfi'iatrrtMMaStFiMlWHM Besides, how could ho como any soon er? IIo sits up all night and leads a fast life. Ilavo you noticed how palo ho looks this morning?" Tho cashroom door opened, and tho cashier appeared before them with tot tering step. "nobbed!" ho gasped out "I have been robbed!" Prospcr's expression, his hollow volco nnd trembling limbs betrayed such fearful suffering that the clerks got up from their desks and ran toward him. IIo almost dropped Into their arms. Ho was sick and faint and fell Into n chair. Ills companions surrounded him and begged him to explain himself. "ItobbcdY" they said. "Where? How? By whom?" Gradually Prosper recovered himself. "All I had in tho safe." "All?" "Yes, all three packages, each con taining 100 notes of n thousand francs, nnd ono package of 50,000. Tho four packages were wrapped In n sheet of paper and tied together." With tho rapidity of lightning tho news of tlio robbery spread through out tho bank. Tho curious clerks rush ed In. "Did you find tho safe broken open?" said young Cavalllon. ."No; It Is untouched." "Yesterday I put 330,000 francs In tho safe, nnd this morning it Is gone." A messenger had already Informed M. Fauvel of the disaster, and at this moment ho entered the room. At. An dro Fauvel appeared to bo a man of fifty, Inclined to corpulency, of medi um height, with Iron gray hnlr, and, like all hard workers, ho had n slight Btoop. Never did ho by a single action belle the kindly expression of his face, lie had an open countenance nnd a lively, frank eye. "What's this I hear?" he said to the clerks, who stood before him respect fully. "What's happened?" Tho sound of 31. Fauvel's volco in spired the cashier with the energy of a great crisis. Tlio dreaded and decisive moment had come. IIo arosu and ad vanced toward his chief. "Monsieur," he began, "having, as you know, a payment to make this morning, I yesterday drew from the Bank of France .'$."0,000 francs." "Why yesterday, monsieur?" Inter rupted tho banker. "It seems to me that I have n hundred times ordered you to wait until tho day of tho pay ment." "I know, monsieur, nnd I did wrong to disobey you. But the evil is dona. Yesterday evening I locked up the funds. Tliey have disappeared, and yet tho safe has not leen fdreod." "You are crazy," exclaimed M. Fau vel, "or you are dreaming!" "I am not crazy, ncltlier, unfortu nately, am I dreaming. I aru simply saying what is true." This calmness nt such a moment ap peared to exasperate M. Fauvel. IIo seized Prosper by tlw arm and slioolc him roughly. "Spcakr lw cried out "Speak! Who do you say openud the safe? Answer mot" "I cannot say." "No ono but you and I knew tho se cret word. No ono but you and I had keys." This waa a formal accusation. At least, all the auditors present so under stood It Yet tho cashier's strange calmness did not leave him. He gen tly released himself from tlw chief's grasp and Ud: "In fact, monsieur, I am tho only ono who could havo taken this money." "Unhappy man!" Prosper 'drew himself up and, look ing M. Fauvel full in tho face, added: "Or you!" The banker made a threatening ges ture, and there is no knowing wliat would have happened If they had not been interrupted by loud nnd angry voices In the entTy. A man Insisted upon entering In spito of tho protesta tions of tho employees nnd succeeded In forcing his way In. It was M. do Clameran. Tho clerks stood looking on, bewildered, motionless, In profound si lence. It wns easy to seo that some terrible question n question of life or death was being weighed by all these men. Tlio Iron founder did not ap pear to observe nnythlng unusual. lie advanced, his hat on his head, nnd said In tho samo Impertinent tone: "It Is nftcr 10 o'clock, gentlemen." No one answered, and M. do Clame ran was about to continue when he for the first time saw tlio banker. IIo went straight to him. "Well, monsieur," ho said, "I con gratulate myself upon finding you In at last I have been here once before this morning nnd found the cashroom not opened, tho cashier not arrived; you wero absent" "You aro mistaken, monsieur; I wns in my ofllco." "I return, nnd this tlrao not only tho cashroom is closed, but I nm refused admittance to tho ofllce. I nm com pelled to force my way in. Will you tell me, yes or no, can I have my mon err M. Fauvel listened, trembling with anger, yet ho controlled himself. "I would bo obliged fo you, monsieur, for a short delay." "I thought you said" "Yes, yesterday, but this morning, tills very Instant, I find I havo been robbed of 350,000 francs." M. do Clameran bowed ironically and Bald: "Shall I have to wait long?" "Ivong enough for mo to send to tho bank." Then, turning his bock on tho Iron maker, M. Fauvel said to his cashier: "Write a noto to the bank for a loon of 300,000 froncs. Send at once. Let tho messenger tako a carriage." Prosper did not move. "Do you hear mo?" said tho banker angrily. Tho cashier trembled. Ho seemed ns If. ho was in a stupor. . . W'"''"v'aJ) 'jilJH' W'1 " '"I i imwhi I TnHiiitrin i m nailiii aKiilHi "It Is useless to send," ho said. "There Is a credit to this gentleman of 300,000 francs, and wo havo leus than 100,000 In tho bank." M. do Clameran evidently expected this nnswer, for ho muttered: "Naturally." Although ho only pronounced this word, his volco, his manner, his face, clearly said: "This comedy Is well acted, but nev ertheless It is a comedy, nnd I don't Intend to bo duped by It" "Oh, don't bo alarmed, monsieur," said tho banker. "This house hns oth er resources. Have pnUcnco till my re turn." IIo went out nnd up the narrow steps leading to his study and nt tho end of flvo minutes returned, holding In his linnd a letter and a bundle of securi ties. "Here, quick, Couturier," ho said to one of his clerks, "tnko my cnrrlnge, which Is waiting, nnd go with mon sieur to M. do Ilothschlld's. Glvo him tills letter nnd these securities. In ex change you will receive 300,000 francs, which you will hand to this gentle man." Tho iron founder wns visibly disap pointed. IIo seemed to wish to npolo glzo for his Impertinence. "I nssure you, monsieur, thnt I had no Intention of offending. For somo yenrs our relations havo been such that I" "Enough, monsieur," interrupted the banker. "I deslro no apologies. In business friendship counts for noth ing. I owo you money. I am not ready to pay you. You are pressing. You havo a right to demnnd what Is your own. follow my clerk. IIo will pay you your money." Then ho turned to his clerks who stood curiously gazing on nnd said, "As for you, gentlemen, resume your desks." In a moment tho room wns cleared of every one except those who belong, cd there, and they sat at their dunks with their' noses almost touching tho paper before them, ns If absorbed in their work. Still excited by the events so rapidly succeeding each other, M. Andre Fauvel walked up and down the room with quick, nervous steps, occa sionally uttering some low exclama tion. Prostier remained leaning against the door, with pale face and fixed eyes, looking as if he had lost the faculty of thinking. Finally tho banker, after a long silence, stopped sltort before Tros per. He hnd determined upon his lino of conduct. "Wo must havo an explanation," he said. "Let us go Into your ofllce." The cashier obeyed without a word, nnd his fhlof followed him, taking the precaution to shut the door after tlwin. Nothing in tho cashroom boru evi dence of tlio entrance of burglars. Ev erything was In perfect order. Not even n paper was misplaced. TIkj wife was open, and on the top slielf lay sev eral rouleaus of gold, overlooked or dlsdnlnwl by the thieves. M. Fntivel, without troubling himself to examine anything, took a chair and ordered his cashier to b seated, lie hnd entirely recovered his equanimity, and his coun tenance wore Its usual kind expression. "Now tliat we are alone, Prosper," ho snld, "havo you nothing to tell vuvff Tho cashier started, aa If tlw qot-s-tlon -surprised hlra. "Nothing, mon sieur, that I have not already told you." "What? Nothing? Do you persist In asserting a fable so absurd and ridicu lous that no ono can possibly bellevo it? It Is folly! Confide In inc. It Is your only chance of salvation. I am your chief, It Is true, but I am, above all, your friend your best and truest friend. I cannot forget that hero fif teen years ago you were Intrusted to mo by your father, and ever since that day have I had cause to congratulate myself on .possessing your faithful service. Yes, it Is fifteen years since you came to me. I was then Just com mencing to build my fortune, and you have seen It gradually grow step by step from almost nothing to Its present size. As my wealth Increased I en den vored to better your condition, you who, although so young, are the oldest of my clerks. At each Inventory I in creased your solary." Never hnd Prosper heard his chief express himself In so feeling and pater nal a manner. Prosper wns silent with astonishment "Answer!" pursued M. Fauvel. "Ilavo I not always been like n father to you? From tho first day my house hns been open to you. You wero treated ns n member of my family. My niece, Mnd elelne, nnd my sons looked upon you as n brother. Hut you grow weary of this peaceful life. One day a year ngo you suddenly began to shun us, and slnco then" The memories of the past thus evok ed by tho banker seemed too imeh for tho unhappy cashier. IIo buried his faco In his hands nnd burst into tears. "Ono can confldo everything to his father without fear," resumod M. Fau vel. "A father not only parQons, but forgets. Do I not know tlio terrible temptations that in a city like Paris beset a young man? There are somo Inordinate desires which break down tho firmest principles. Spenk, Prosper, Bp'enk!" "What do you wish mo to say?" "Tho truth. An honorablo man may yield to temptation, but. his. first step towara atonement Is confession. Bay to mo: Yes, I havo been tempted, doz sled. Tho sight of theso piles of gold turned my brain. I am young. I havo passions." "I!" murmured Prosper. "I!" "'Poor boy!" said tho banker sadly. IIo paused, ns If hoping for a confes sion, which, how.over, did not como. "Como, Prosper, havo courage. Mako a clean breast of It I will go up stairs. Go again to tho safe. I nm sure thnt In your ngltntlon you did not search thoroughly. This ovenlng I will return, and I am sure that during tlio day you will havo found, If not tho 350,000 fnmes, nt lenst tho greater portion of it And neither you ncr "A '"j-hl " '' ! -. n I,.' ., j, Mtl.Hirfilrt '.

M. Fauvel had risen nnd wns nbout to leave the room when Prosper arose mid held him by the nrm. "Your generosity Is useless, mon sieur," he said bitterly. "Having tak en nothing, I can restore nothing. I have searched carefully. The bank notes have been stolen." "Hut by whom, poor fool? By whom?" "IJy all that Is sacred, I swear that It was not by me." The banker's face turned crimson. ".Miserable wretch," cried ho, "do you mean to wiy that It was I?" Prosper bowed his head and did not answer. "Ah, It Is thus, then," snld M. Fau vel, unable to contain himself any lon ger. "You dare Then between you ami me, M. Prosper Bertnmy, Justice shall decide. God Is niy witness thnt I have done nil I could to save you. You will have yourself to thnnk for what follows. I have sent for tho com missary of police, lie must lie wait ing in my study. Shall I call lilnii" Prosper, with tho fearful resignation of a man who abandons himself, re plied In n stilled voice: "Do as you will." The banker was nenr tlio door. IIo opened It nnd nftcr giving the cashier a last searching look snld to an olllcc boy: "Anselme, nsk the commissary of po lice to step down." criAPTnn n. nn commissary sent for by M. Fauvel soon made his ap pearance. A short man dress ed In a full suit of black. T which was ellghtly relieved by a crum pled odlhir, followed him. Tho Winker, Bcarccly bowing to Mm, said: "Doubtless, monsieur, you havo been apprised of the painful circumstance which compels mo to linvo tveourec to your assistance?" "It In about a robbery, I believe." "Yes; an Infamous mid mysterious robbery committed In this office, from tlio Fafo you seo open there, of which ray cashier" ho polntod to Prosper "alone possesses tho key nnd tho word." This declaration seemed to nroiioc tlw unfortunato cashier from his stu por. "Pardon mo, monsieur," lu said to the commissary In a low tone. "My chief also has tlv word and the key." "I should have said so." Tlio commissary at onco understood that tlKiee two men. accused each otlicr. "Well," ho said, "a robbery has been .perpetrated, but by whom? Did tlio robber enter from wltlwut?" Tlio banker hesitated a moment "I think not," ho said at last "And I nm certain ho did not," Bald Prosper. Tho commissary was prepared for those answers, but It did not suit his purposo to follow them up Immediate ly. "Ilowever," said he, "wo must mnke ourselves suro of It." Turning toward ills companion, "M. Fnnferlot," he snld, "go nnd seo if you cannot discover 6omo traces that may havo escaped the attention of these gentlemen." M. Fnnferlot, nicknamed "The Squir rel," wns indebted to his prodigious nglllty for tills title, of which ho wns not n llttlo proud. Slim mid Insignifi cant In nppearance, ho might, In splto of his Iron muscles, be taken for a bail iff's under clerk ns ho walked along buttoned up to tho chin In his thin black overcoat. IIo had ono of those faces, that Impress us disagreeably nn odiously turned up nose, thin lips nnd llttlo restless black eyes. Fnnferlot, who hnd been on tlio pollco force for flvo yenrs, burned to distinguish him self, to mako for himself a name. He wns ambitious. Alns, ho wns unsuc cessful, lucking opportunity or genius. Alrendy, before the commissary spoke to him, ho hnd ferreted everywhere studied the doors, sounded tho pnrti tlons, exnralned tho wicket and stirred up tlio nshes In tho fireplace. "It would bo very dllllcult," sold he, "for a stranger t enter here." IIo walked around tho ofllco. "Is this door closed at night?" ho in quired. "It is always locked." "And who keeps tho key?" "Tho ofllco boy, to whom I nlways glvo It In chnrgo beforo leaving tho bank," said Prosper. "This boy," said M. Fauvel, "sleeps m tho outer room on a sofa bedstead, which he un'olds at night and folds up In tho morning," "Is ho here?" Inquired tho comrals snrr. "Yes, monsieur," answered tho bank er. IIo opened tho door and called: "Auselmol" This boy had been a confidential serv ant of M. Fauvel for tcu years. IIo know that ho would not bo suspected, but tho Idea of being connected with n robbery is terrible, and ho-ontered tho room trembling llko a leaf. iUHL jou. sJecu la tho next rppmj4ast night?" asked tho commissary of po lice. "Yes, monsieur; ns usunl." "At what hour did you go to bed?" "About hnlf pnst 10. I had spent tho evening, at a cafo near by with mon sieur's valet." "Did you hear no uolso during tho night?" "No, and stllf I sleep so lightly that If monsieur comes down to the cash room when I am asleep I am, Instantly awakened by the souud of his foot steps." "Does M. Fauvel often como to tho cashroom nt night?" "No, 'monsieur; very seldom." "Did ho come Inst night?" "No, monsieur; I nm very certain lie did not, for I was kept awake nearly nil night ly tho strong coffee I hnd drunk with the vnlet." "Thnt will do," snld tho commissary. "You may retire." When Anselme had left the room, Fnnferlot resumed his search. lie opened tho door of tho banker's private staircase. "Where do these stairs lend to?" ho nsked. "To my prlvntc ofllce," replied M. Fauvel. "Is not that the room," asked tho commissary, "to which I was conduct ed when I first came?" "Precisely." "I would like to see It" snld Fnnfer lot, "and examine the entrances to It" "Nothing Is more easy," said M. Fau vel eagerly. "Come, gentlemen, and you come, too, Prosper." M. Fauvel's prlvntc olllce consisted of two rooms the waiting room, sumptu ously decorated, and tlio study, whero he transacted business. The furnlturo In this room was composed of a largo ofllco desk, several leatlier covered chairs and on either side of tho llre plnce a n-cretnry nnd n bookshelf. Theso two looms had three doors. One oH'iied on the private stairway, nnother Into the banker's bedroom, nnd the third Into the main vestibule. It was through tills Inst door that tho banker's clients and visitors wero ad mitted. M. Fnnferlot examined tho study. He seemed puzzled like a man who had flattered himself with the l.oiH) of discovering something and had found nothing. To be Continued CAUSES OF STOMACJli.TItOl'HLKS.
