PARIs MYSTERY
By the Author q .Mt Dueaasa and Ny daughter


Continued from Sunday, November 20thI
We took our seats In tho conveyance with
out asking any questions. Sapiraud and 1
exchanged q glance which said, Let Is leave
tie reyelaton to n Blery; he has an eye for
dramatic effects.
Pilotin mounted on the box; I noticed that
he carried q short croWbar. The coaehman
had evidently received his directions before
hand. He drove us up the steep, narrow
Rue st. Jacques, into the very heart Of the
Latin Quarter. He stopped at last where the
Rue st. Jacques inteTsects the Rue Cujas, at
apork-buteberis shop, with the nane Pajol
over the door. PfIotn aligated, and held
open the door Of tho cab while we got out.
IL Blery entered the pork butchers shop
and presently reappeared with III. Pajol, fat
faced and blue eproned.
"Messieurs,' said Blery HM. Pajol will
now take us to tho room Of that tenant of his
who, since Christmas Day, has disappeared"
ii. Paiol bowed, smiled blandly, rubbedhi i
fat hands, and led Us up the dark, moldering
staircase.
When we had reached the sixth story Sapi-
maud and / paused to take breath. "a ittls
higher, Msssieurs, If you pleaseln said M.
Blery. WI toiled up with mary standings
after the detectives, until we reached the gar
rets, in the very top OF the roof. The stair
way leading to these was little better than a
ladder, where the hands had to assist the feet
Of the climber.
t'This is the door, said Pajol.
Plotin took q big bunch CT keys from his
pocket and tried them one eftcr another; none
fitted
'No matterl' said Blery. "see, place the
crowbar ~hero-now, a little force-and,
presto, we have the door opsnedr'
Sapinaud and l followed the detectives into
the room, Pajcl bringing up therear. The spec
tacle which met cur eyes was a strange one.
Tho small window in the roof, thic,dy coated
with CRIME cMl SCOT, admitted only u very
feeble light into ale garrett. A deep layer Of
dust rested on everything. In the ce1tro Of
the garnet stood a b~-azier, filed with cta=-
coal ashes. On the wretched t-uckle-bsd lay
aheap Of clothes, as if they had been throwr
hastily down. Three large t..vcxz5 utunks
occupied about half the entire space Of the
chamber.
We looked on in wonderment while the de-
tectives made a business-ike inspection Of the
room before touching anything.
Suddenly Pajol plucked Blery's sleeve, and,
pointing to the charcoal-brazier-'It was
with that same brazier he did itT' he whis-
pered.
Blery nodded. "Now, Plotin," he said,
'let us begin our earch.-Approach, Mes
sieurs, if you please. 1 have the idea that
among these clothes here' pointing to those
on the truclde-bed-''we shall, perhaps, make
e discovery"
Sapinaud and drew near, ard looked on
curiously. The clothes consisted Of a dress
suit, a fur paletot, and a crush hat. Blery
felt tho breast pocket of the coat, and, with
n smile Of triumph, drew out a dagger sheath
made Of green silk and hcquered wood, in
shane Ike q closed fan.

A Foot Race ON Which $500 Was Won
= - y, And Lost.

Mr.. w. H. Wright gives an account OF
foot racaeswhic hdecurred at Ft Maginnis
about week ago, by which the boys in
blue came to grief. The contest was be-
tween a soldier of that garrison and a
lght-footed gentleman from. Salt Lake,
4 stranger in those parts, supposed to be
named Bennett, The soldier was thought
to be almost invincible-said to be able to
get over hundred yards Of mother earth
in nine seconds. However that may be,
the obliging stranger from the classic
shores of the saline lake beat him seven
yards in the distance named, cleaning up
about 81, 10000 currency belonging to the
men and. officers of the post which they
confidently expected to double on the
issue Of the contest. 1t is now surmissed,
and no doubt correctly, that the aforesaid
Mr.. Bennett was a regular professional
and was travelling on his feet. But il
is evident that there was no necessity for
him to walk out of Ft. Maginnis.
