At nine the next morning, Monsieur D6
buron was preparing to start for the Pal
ace of Justice, where he expected to NEE
Gevrol and the man he had entrapped-
perhaps also the meddling Old Corkscrex
himself (
He had collected his papers, put on his
coat and hat when his servant informed
him that young lady, accompanied by
an old woman, requested to see him.
She wouldn't give her name, saying that
it was entirely unnecessary, as it was ab-
solutely imperative that the magistrate
should spare her few minutes of his
time.
"Show her up!' said Monsieur Daburon.
He thought it was probably some rela-
ton of a prisoner whose case he had un-
dertaken previous to the murder at La
Jonchere, and made up his mind to dis
miss the unwelcome visitor as soon as
possible.
He was standing before the chimney
place, with his back to the door, looking
over some letters.
The noise of the opening door, the rustic
footstep behind him, did not disconcert
him in the least. ''
He didn't even turn his head. When
ne had finished reading the letter he had
IN his hand, he condescended to lift his
eyes and cast rapid glance at the new
conner.
He started back, as though he had seen
a ghost The letters fell from his nerve

CHAPTER ,XXX1I.
CLARE PLEADS FOR HER LOVER.


Monsieur Dabnron, the magistrate, had
his work before him, and passed all Satur
day and Sunday examining witnesses
from the village where the murder had
been committed, and it's nearest town
Bougival. .'.'
Whilst he snatched half hour or SC
for his meals, he had "audiences" with
the various agents of the detective force
whose Investigations, however, were any.
thing but satisfactory. r...
They had heard a great deal of talk
about a woman, who asserted that she
had seen the murderer coming out of the
widows cottage; but nobody seemed able
to give them description of this mythical
woman, or even to furnish them with her
name.
But they all thought it their duty to in
form the magistrate that an inquiry was
being conducted by "private individual" :"
at the same time as theirs. This person
was sparing no end of money, and had
about dozen men under him, who were
always coming across them, and forestall-
ing them in everything.
The magistrate looked somewhat star
tied.
"You have, of course, discovered who
the party was" ..,,
'Old Corkscrew, of course, who was a.
shifting and a-prying about the place, in
an old gig, harnessed to young bay
mare, as knew what work meant, and no
mistake. He must have got up very early
in the morning." said the disconsoiate de-
tective; "for wherever we went, we found
he'd been there afore us. met the old
beggar once, and he had the impudence
to speak to me. What says he. do you
mean by showing them photographs about9
Before the end of the week, you'll be
crowded with witnesses, who, for a ive-
franc piece, will dye their hair and boards
to any tint, pull out their teeth, and even
main themselves, to suit whatever por-
trait you present them.' At last, he fin
ished off by telling two of the police
agents, who happened to be in q wine
shop in the village, that he had spotted
his man. Three persons had seen hin
two railway guards, and third person, a
whose evidence would be decisive;
for she had spoken to him, and she re-
membered quite we'll that he was smok-

On returning home tired and dispirited,

It contained these few words: |

The MYSTERY OF THE RUBY.-It is
not little remarkable, and we might
philosophize for some time about il, that
while the diamond is made lip Of pure
carbon, or simply blank opaque charcoal,
the ruby, the next in value and beauty,
is nearly made up of alumina or common
clay--98.5 per ceGt.-the coloring matter
iron, making up the rest of it; the mere
trace Of lime found in it being unappre-
ciable. Nothing, we may venture to fay,
in natures chemistry is more wonderful
than this fact Of the dull, colorlcss, and
lifeless clay becoming metamorphoscd by
some hidden aud alc.ost miraculous way
into the transparently clear, red-colored,
and almost living gem. Imagination
itself fails to fiDd theory to account for
all this. and no progress in chemistry can
invent theory to account for all this,
and no progress IN chemistry can invent
theory to fit it. 1t is somewhat
curious coincidence that tile ruby, rs well
as the diamond and other precious stones,
is so often found associated with gold !;
where they are, there is gold almost sure
to be present. Nature produces these,
her riches, together; and It afterward is
the province Of art 10 keep them together
aud to exhibit them as one object.
