were very frequent in Toulouse and its en-
virons.'
He was interrupted by the appearance of
a very slender, middle aged man, below the
average height, with an unpleasant, pock-
marked face and large, hawklke nose:
"Well, Mattiole," said the prefect to him,
"what is it?"
Monsieur" said Mattiole, "look at this
small kid glove"

soiled."

Now the projects attention became
aroused.
"Are you sure of that, Mattiole9" he
asked.
"As sure as am standing before you now.

The prefect examined the spots tor a mo-

"You are right, Mattiole. Where did you

"Pshswl The woman that wore this kid
glove probably scratched her hand with a
pin, and then threw the glove away.
don't suppose that there Is anything behind
it."
Mattiole, the oldest detective of the Tou-
louse police force, bowed and left the pre-
fects cabinet No sooner had he left the
prefecture building than he uttered low
oath, and muttered:
"a fine project he is, indeed. believe
have got him this time sure"
He directed his steps to the Rue des Roses
No. of that street was a wine shop. Mat
tiole entered it, ordered bottle of wine, and
had 1t brought into the back room. He said
to the landlord:
"Are you acquainted with the people at
No. 22 in this street?'
'I know Mime. Deyerine, the proprie-
tress."

she comes. Don't admit anybody else"
''You are?"
"a member of the force"
"Ah! she will be here In few moments,
monsieur"
A few minutes later very handsome
young woman in the attractive costume of
the peasant girls of southern France was
ushered into the room, where Mattiole was
seated. She was finely formed, and there
was something decidedly bold in her bear

"What do you want with me7' she asked.
What woman was there in your place

spinning house as a common bawd."
She turned very pale, but made no reply.

delay"
"Iknow nothing except that a veiled lady
came to the house at late hour last night.
L opened the door for her. / noticed that
she wore yellow kid gloves. Then / went to

"Now, Rose" said Msttiole, "you will
stay here for a couple of hours. If you try
to escape you know whittier you will be
