CHAPTER x.

Between the examining magistrate
who questioned and the man cited to
appear before him who replied it was
duel, q close game, rapid and tragic,
In which each feint might make a NOR
tai wound, in which each parry and
thrust might be decisive. No one in the
world has the power of the man who,
in word, can change to prisoner the
one who enters the palais as passerby.
Behind this inquisitor Of the law the
prison stands. the tribunal in ifs red
robes appears, the beams Of the scarOId
cast their sinister shadows, and the
magistrates cold chamber already seems
to have the lugubrious humidity OF the
dungeons where the condemned await
their fate.
Jacques Dantin arrived at the palais
In answer to the magistrates citation
with the apparent alacrity Of a man
who, regretting friend tragically put
out of the world, wishes to aid In aveng-
ing him. He did not hesitate second,
and Bernardet, who saw him enter the
carriage, was struck with the seeming
eagerness and haste with which he re-
sponded to the magistrates order.
When M. Ginory was informed that
Jacques Dantin had arrived, he allowed
an involuntary "Ahp' TO escape him.

frowned.

His Only Speech In Tom bston,.

Chief of Police Hall of Paducah, KY,
says he once attended political meeting
at Tombstone, A. Il. The most prominent
speaker was Judge Eastin Of Texas The
meeting opened, and the crowd straight
way called on the judge to speak. He
arose, and, with dignity, began his adj

"and held a lucrative position under the

the signal is given which announces tina
the curtain is about to be raised. Fo
the examining magistrate the drama il
which he was about to unravel the mys
terry was to begin. He kept his eye
fixed upon the door, attributing, cor
rectly, great importance to the frs
impression the conner would make upoI
him as he entered the room. M. Ginory
found that he was much excited. This
was to him novel thing, but by exer.
cising his strong will he succeeded in
mastering the motion, and his face and
manner showed no trace of it.
In the open door M. Jacques Dantin
appeared. The first view, for the magis-
trate, was favorable. The man was tall,
well built; he bowed with grace, and
looked straight before him. But at the
same time NJ. Ginory was struck by
the strange resemblance of this naughty
face to that image obtained by means of
Bernardet's kodak. 1t seemed to him
that this image had the same stature,
the same form as that man surrounded
by the hazy clouds. Upon a second ex-
animation it seemed to the magistrate
that the face betrayed restrained vio-
lence, latent brutality. The eyes were
stern, under their bristling brows, the
pointed beard, quite thin ON the cheeks,
showed the heavy jaws and under the
gray mustache the under lip protruded
like the lips of certain Spanish cavaliers
painted by Velasquez.
"Prognathous, thought M. Ginory,
as he noticed this characteristic. With
gesture he motioned M. Dantin to a
chair. The man was there before the
judge, who, with crossed hands, his Ell
bows leaning ON his papers, seemed
ready to talk of insignificant things,
while the registrar bald head was bent
over his black table as he rapidly took
notes. The interview took on grave
tone, but as between two men who,
meeting in salon, speak of the morn
ing or of the premiere of the evening
