GSAy ed IN full suit OF black,
which was slightly relieved by a crum-
pied collar, followed him. The banker,
scarcely bowling to him, said:
DOUBTLESS, monsieur, you have been
apprised of the painful circumstance
which compels me to have recourse to
your assistanceY
'1t IL about robbery, believe"
'Yes; an Infamous and mysterious
robbery committed In this Office, from
the safe You see open there, of which
my cashier''-he pointed to Prosper
"aloDe possesses the key and the
word"
This declaration seemed to aroslse
the unfortunate cashier from his stu
por.
"Parion me, monsieur" no said to
the oommssary in q low tone. MY
CHIEF also has the word and the key"
'I should have said So"
The commissary at once understood
that these two men accused each other.
"Well," he said, "a robbery has been
perpetrated. but by whom? Did the
robber enter from without"
Inc DAuhtT utSlldlcu u iHOIleuL-
81 think not" he said at last.
"And am certain he did not" said
Prosper.

his companion, IN. Fanferlot," he said,
"go and see If you cannot discover
some traces that may have escaped
the attention of these gentlemen"
NJ. Fanferlot, nicknamed "The Squir-
REL" was indebted to his prodigious
agility for this title, of which he was
not a little proud. Slim and insignif-
cant in appearance, he might, in spite
of his iron muscles, be taken for n bail
iff's under clerk as he walked along
buttoned up to the chin in his thin
black Overcoat. He had one of those
faces that impress us disagreeably-an
odiously turned up nose, thin lips and
little restless black eyes. Fanferlot,
who had been on the police force for
five years, burned to distinguish him
self, to make for himself name. He
was ambitious. Alas, he was unsuc-
cessful, lacking opportunity or genius,
Already, before the commissary spoke
to him, he had ferreted everywhere
studied the doors, sounded the paTti-
tions, examined the wicket and stirred
up the ashes in the fireplace.
'It would be very difficult" said he,
"for a stranger to enter here"
He walked around the office.
'Is this door closed at night?" he in.
quired.
1T Is always locked"
"And who keeps the key"
"The Office boy, to whom l always
give 1t in charge before leaving the
bank" said Prosper.
This boy" said M. Fauvel, Sleeps
IN the outer room on a sofa bedstead,
which he unfolds at night and folds up
in the morning"
''Is he hereT inquired the commits
saIy.
"Yes, monsieur" answered the bank
er.
He opened the door and called:
"Anselme"
This boy had been confidential serv-
ant of M. Fauvel for ten years He
knew that he would not be suspected.
but the idea of being connected with a
robbery is terrible, and he entered the
room trembling like a leaf.

statistics adduced by eminent physi-

to be the unfailing mirrors of destiny
that the doctors promise.

counter method OF hasty eating.
1t would seem that danger from
gastric liberation is not confined
alone to the men, who are the con-
sumers OF the business lunches, but
that women are also threatened. To
the women's habit of eating few
bites at many hours OF the day their
imminent peril is ascribed.
Everyone should counteract the
danger brought about by too hasty
