Rulon.
Wait" said RaucheZ, and he un-
locked drawer and took out note
book. After examining it for a minute
he said: "Du Torville was absent

The detective quilted the place, NUT
tering to himself: 81 am child and
L know nothing"
The next day when Rulon called n
the office of Rauchez, the latter handed
him letter and pushed him from the
room, saying: "Read that and be
quick about it.''
When Rulon reached his apartments
he opened the letter and read as fol-
lows:
81 have arranged it all with Du Tor
vile. He will deliver the diamonds
and other property for 300, 900 francs.
At II O'Clock tomorrow Madame Du
Torville will be at home. Show this

police, and place the money in her
hands. She will wait on Madame Du
Torville. pay the 300, 900 francs to her,

RAUCHEZ.
Next dav at eleven o'clock Madame
Fleury alighted from a cab at the man
sion of Monsieur Torville. A servant
showed her into a magnificent salon,
and in few minutes Madame Du Tor
vile appeared, followed by a servant
carrying large leather satchel. The
servant retired, and Madame Du Tor
vile opened the satchel. 1t was filled
with sparkling gems and goblets of
gold. Madame Fleurv produced her
inventory and compared it with the
contents of the satchel. Ii was cor
rect.
"Here are 300, 900 francs y the female
detective said, and she counted out the
bills to Madame Du Torville
''This satchell is heavy" said Mad
anne Fleury.
MY servant shall carry it for you to
the cab," Madame Du Torrille replied.
The servant was summoned and bore
the precious freight TO the cab, closely
followed by Madame Fleury. Then he
retired.
'Madame," said the driver of the
cab, have you far to go!"
She gave him the direction of Mon
sieur Rauchez.
81 shall carry this for you then," the
driver said, "for my harness has bro
ken, and / shall have to leave my horse
and cab here until | return"
"Call another cab," the female detec-
tive said, in an angry ana disappointed
tone.
"They are hard to find around here,
Madame" the driver replied, "but l
will carry the bag around until you
find one"
go on, then,'' Madame Fleury said,
and then added in an undertone, al
carry pistol, and if you attempt TO
quit me L will shoot you"
The driver assumed a look of sur
prise and horror, and then moved of,
closely followed by the female detec-
tive.
AT the end of the street there was
place where he could secure privacy,
and, with an apologetic bow the driver
turned into it. The cross street was a
crowded thoroughfare, otherwise the
detective would have followed
the driver into the retreat despite the
As it was, she had to wait
outside until he returned, which he did
in moment or two. Madame Fleury
gave sigh of relief as she saw the pre-
cious satchel under the drivers arm.
A few blocks on they met at empty cab
and the female detective and her sat
chel were transferred to it.
When Madame Fleury reached the
office of Monsieur Rauchez, she saw the
driver of the cab carry the satchel in
side.
''Is it all right?" Rauchez asked.
20 "Yes, thank God!" answered the fe-
male detective.
She unclasped the fastenings with a
nervous, gratified smile on her face,
and threw open the satchel. 1t was
filled with broken pieces of glass and
bricks.
When the disappointed and aston
ished woman had, told the history of
the satchel fran the time she quilted
the house of Monsieur Du Torville,
Rauchez said:
~ see it all; they bribed the driver
while you were inside, and when he
turned into that place whittier a lady
could not follow him there was some
one waiting there who changed satch-
els with him. That's ALL"
When Madame Fleury and Detective
Rulon returned an hour later to the Du
Torville mansion they found it in the
possession of a furniture broker, who
had purchased the contents the day be-
fore. Monsieur Du Torvilie disap-
peared from Paris, and a week after
ward, when certain of his creditors at
to attach his property, they
found that the house purchased by him
from heirs of Daniel Pereira had been
to one August Rauchez.
When Detective Rulon found this out

on which Rauchez handed him the let
