had been talking with the detective.
They were, indeed, the master and
servant. The master presented his
passport, asking the Consul briefly to
be kind enough to else it. The latter
took the passport and read it carefully,
while Fix, in one corner of the room,
was observing or rather devouring the
stranger with his eyes.
When the Consul had finished read
ing, he asked:

"And this man is your servant?"
"Yes, a Frenchman named Passe-

"You come from London?"
eyes"
And you are going?'
"To bombay"
"Well, sir, you know that this for
malitv of the Uise is useless, and that we
no longer demand the presentation OF
the passportP'
II know it, sir" replied Phileas
Fogg, '5ut wish toprove by your UiSe
my trip to Suez.'
VERY well, sir"
And the Consul having signed and
dated the passport, affixed his seal, Mr..
Fogg settled the fee, and, having bowed
coldly, he went out, followed by his
servant
"Wen?" asked the detective.
We'll" replied the Consul, "he has
the appearance of perfectly honest
man."
Possibly" replied Fix; "but that
is not the question with us. Do you
find, Consul, that this phlegmatic gen.
tleman resembles, feature for feature,

ceived?n

that all descriptions

about it," replied Fix 1.-The servant
appears to me less of riddle than the
master. Moreover. he is Frenchman,
who cannot keep from talking will
see you soon again, Consul"
The detective then went out, intent
upon the search for PasSepartout.
In the meantime Mr.. FOgg, after
leaving the Consul's house, had gone
towards the wharf There he gave
some orders to his servant; then he got
into boat, returned on board the Mon
golia, and went into his cabin. He
then took out his memorandum book
in which were the following notes:
