This discovery is something. The man
who sold this picture and Dantin are
accomplices. Bravo, Bernardet We
must let NJ. Ginory know. "
The examining magistrate was, like
the chief and Bernardet, strucn with
the resemblance Of the portrait to Dan
tin. His first move would be TO ques-
ton the prisoner about the picture. He
would go at once to Mazas. NJ. Lcriche
and Bernardet might accompany him.
The presence of the police spy might be
useful, even necessary.
The magistrate and the chief entered
a faCro, while Bernardet mounted be-
side the driver. Bernardct said moth

some information from him. After one
or two monosyllabic answers the driver
mockingly asked:

Immediately exclaimed, at is ho!'
And most certainly it was Jacques
Dantin himself. The more the officer
examined it the moro convinced he be-
camo that this was IA portrait of the
man whom he had accompanied to the
cemetery and to prison. But how could
this picture have come into this brica-
brac shop, and of whom could the dealer
have obtained it? A reply to this would
probably not be very difficult to obtain,
and tho police officer pushed back the
door and found himself in the presence
of very largo woman, with a pale,
puffy face, which was surrounded by %
