CHAPTER TX

Jacques Dantin, moreover, was not
difficult to find i'll the crowd. He stood
near the funeral car. His air was very
sad. Bcrnardet had fine opportunity
to examine him at his ease He was an
elegant looking man, slender, with a
resolute air and frowning eyebrows,
which gave his face very energetic
look. His head barred to the cold wind.
he stood like statue while tho bearers
placed the casket i'll the funeral car, and
Bernardet noticed the shaking of tho
head-a distressed shaking. The longer
the police officer looked at him, studied
him, the stronger grew the resemblance

nardet would soon know who this
Jacques Dantin was, and even at this
moment he asked question or two of
some of the assistants.

Bernardet thought that if he addressed
the question to M. Dantin himself he
might learn all he wished to know at
once, and he approached him at the mo-
ment the procession started and walked
along with him almost to the cemetery,
striving to enter into conversation with
him. He spoke of the dead man, sadly
lamenting M. Roveres sad fate, but he
found his neighbor very silent Upon
the sidewalk of the boulevard the dense
crowd stood III respectful silence and
uncovered as the cortego passed, and the
officer noticed that some loose petals
from the flowers dropped upon the road

officer experienced the fear which an
inventor feels before tho perfection of a
new discovery He had undertaken a
formidable problem, apparently insolu-
bic, and he desired to solve it. Once or
twice ho took out from the pocket Of
his redingoto an old worn case and
looked ut tho proofs Of the retina, which
he had pasted on a card. There could be
no doubt. This figure, little confused,
had tho very look of the man who had
bent over the grave. M. Ginory would
be struck by it when he had jacques
Dantin before him, provided the exam
ming magistrate still had the desire
which Bcrnardet had melted in him to
push the matter to the end. Fortunately
NJ. Ginory was very curious With this
curiosity anything might happen. The
time seemed long. What if this Dantin,
who spoke of leaving Paris, should dis
appear, should escape the examination:
What miserable little affair occupied
VI. Ginory? Would he ever be at liber-
ty?
The door opened, a man in blouse
was led out, the registrar appeared on
tho threshold, and Bernardct asked if
he could not see NJ. Ginory Immediate
ly, as he had an important communica-
ton to make to him.
Twill not detain him long he said
Far from appearing annoyed, the
magistrate seemed delighted to see the
officer. He related to him all he knew
how he had seen the man at II. Ro-
we're S funeral; that Nine. Moniche had
recognized him as the one whom 81,
had surprised standing with II. Roverc
before the open safe; that he had sign
ed his namo and taken first rank in the
funeral corteGe, less by reason of an ole
friendship which dated from childhood
than by that strange and impulsive sell
timent which compels the guilty man
to haunt the scene Of his crime to r..
main near his victim, as if the murder,
tho blood, the corpse, held for him e
morbid fascination.
II shall soou know" said NJ. Ginory.
He dictated to the registrar a citation tc

gave the order to serve tho notice on NJ

Suddenly the police officer experienced
a strange sensation. 1t seemed to him
that this face, the shape of the head, the
pointed beard, he had recently seen
somewhere, and that this human sill
houotte recalled to him an image which
he had recently studied. The perception
of possibility of proof gave him
shock. This man who was there made
him think suddenly of that phantom
discernible in the photographs taken of
the retina of the murdered mans eye.

excitement and insisted upon his own

many of the towns are also interested

tried in others. 1t provides that the

1t was blistering hot morning. The
white sand reflected the suns rays like
glass, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. What little breeze there
was stirring only served to whip up the
sand and fill ones lungs with the parch-
ing dust. The surf broke on the ocean
side of Sandy Hook with a monotonous
roll. Even the sea looked hot. I en-
tered the ship news tower and slowly
climbed the five flights of stairs to the
observers room at the top. There are
no windows in the tower below the up

only owing to the darkness, but because
of the danger of fracturing ones skull
against the iron braces which ran dag
onally from floor to ceiling at each land
ing, crossing each other at about the
height of the average man.
In the signalman's room it was sew
eral degrees cooler than at the level of
the sea. The solitary watcher was look

Rome, which was passing up the chan
mel, bound in. From her mainmast flew
her signal flags. Only few persons ap-
peared on her decks. Then, as we
looked at the ship as she slipped by us,
her port rails became lined with passen-
gers. A long line of moving white ap-
peared from end to end. It had the APP
pearance of the foam on the crest of a
breaker.
