Lucien signed his deposition, snd
withdrew.
Cavaillon's turn for examination
came next. The poor fellow was in
q pitiable state Of mind when he AZ
peared before the Judge.
Having, as n great secret, cnnfided
to a friend his adventure with th,
detective. and being iecred at for his
cowardice in giving up the note, he
felt great remorse, and passed the
night in reproducing himself for hav-
ing ruined Prosper.
lie endeayored to repair, as we'll as
he could. what he called his treason.
lie did not exactly accuse W. Fau-
vel but he courageously declared
that H. was the cashiers friend, and
that he was as sure of his innocence
as he was of his own
Unfortunately. besides having no
proofs TO strengthen his assertions,
these w~-e deprived Of any value by
his violent professions of friendship
for the accused
After Cavaillon. six or eight clerks
in the Fauvel banl. successfully de-
filed in the Judges office. but their
dispositions were mearly all insignih-
cant.
One Of them, however, stated fact
which the judge carefully noted He
said that he knew that Prosper had
specuatcd ON the Bourse through the
medium OF NJ. Eaoul de Tagors, and
had gained immense sums.
Five o'ciocl, struck before the liss

/ Patrigent was not yet finished He
rang for his baibF, who instantly APP
/ pearcd, and said TO him:
go at once, and bring Fanferlot

1t was some time before the de-
tective answered the summons. Hav-
Ing met a colleague on the gallery, he
thought it his duty to treat him to a
drink. and the boiliff had found IL
necessary to bring him from the little
inn at the corner.
How is il that you keep people
waitiug?" said the judge, when he en-
tered bowing and scraping. Fanferlot
bowed more profoundly still
Despite his smiling face. he was
very uneasy. To prosecute the
Bertomy case alone. it required a
double play that might be discovered

the cause Of Justice and his own am
bition, he ran great risks, the least
of which was the losing his place.
81 have had a great deal to do" he
said, 10 excuse himself, "and have not
wasted any time"
And he began to give detailed ac-
count of his movements. He was EN-
barrassed, for he spoke with all sorts
Of restrictions, picking out what was
to be said, and avoiding what was to
be left unsaid. Thus he gave the his.
tory of Cayaillon's letter, which he
handed 10 the Judge; but he did not
breathe word OF Madeleine. On the
other hand, he gave biographical de
tails, very minute indeed, of Prosper
and Nine Gipsy, which he had col.

As he progressed the conviction o.

"This young man Is evidently gul

delighted that the Judge was on tlf
