into wine-shop OH the other side Of the
street, where he sat drinking and talking
with another blue blouse. Kathleen stood
outside in the dusS-as she had stood out
side many such a window in the course OF
her evening watches--and studied the mans
face by the light of the faring candle, which
stood in front of him, as he hobnObbed with
his friend.
Yes, her patience was rewarded. She had
found him-the assassin of the defenceless.
The man 10 whom tears and blood had been
as strong wine, for whom power had meant
the power to Stay and to burn. This bull
dog-visaged workman, grooming over his
pipe, talking with bent brow and angry
eyes, this was the murderer OF the Domini'
cans and Of CASTOR Mortemar.
She went straight TO the Office of Che Com.
missary Of Police of the Quarter de la Care;
but by this time it was ten o'clock, and too
late for her TO be admitted to an interview
with any Of the officials. She was told To
return in the morning when she could see
the chief officer. She was there again when
the Office opened, saw Monsieur Grillieres,
and told him her story.
The intelligence was welcome, for Mon
sieur Grlllieres, misled by erroneous infor
nation, had already made more than thirty
useless Investigations In search of Serizier.
Monsieur Grillieres started instantly, ac-
companied by two inspectors; but on arriv-
ing at the Rue Galande he was told that the
Belgian currier had left the night before.
He and his workmen had moved the stock
in-trade-some of the things had gone away
in Il van, some in truck. The last truck
load had been wheeled away at midnight
Where had he gone?
Nobody knew exactly; everybody had
some suggestion to offer; the ultimate result
OF which statements and counter-statements
assertions and contradictions, was that the
Belgian currier had been heard TO say that
he was going to establish himself in the
neighborhood of the markets.
Ihither Monsieur Grillieres started in hot
haste, and searched every shop occupied by
a currier, leather-seller, or morocco manu-
facturer, but TO no purpose. He found nc
one resembling Serizier among the hard
handed sons Of labor smelling of leather
He began TO despair, when towards five
o'clock in the afternoon, crossing a street
which abutted on the corn-market, he saw q
van standing near door-a van full OF
bundles of leather, dressed skins, and cur
rier's implements. A man was unloading
the van, ana carrying inc contents lluO Jne
house near which the vehicle waited. Grill
Heres went into shop where he saw mar
who looked like the proprietor.
'You are q currer%' said the magistrate
Eyes, monsieur"
II am police magistrate, and must beg
you TO answer my questions"
"Willingly, monsieur"
"How'long have you lived in this part o.
the town?'
'Since last night"
"Where were you before?'
"Rue Galande."
"How many workmen do you employ?''
1.-TWO: the man who is unloading the van
and who has been with me fourteen years
the other who has been working for me onl.
fortnight, and WHO'S now in my workshop
on the third floor of this house."
What is his name%'
'Chaligny."
His name Is not Chalicny," answered
Monsieur Grllieres. HE Is Serizier, and
am here t. arrest him"
