"And they may not shrink from strik

ier in France than in New York"

thought of it. If we should really be
too late!

Case


niyselT again, who dared to play so bolG
and desperate a game? The illegitt
mate daughter might, of course, I'M
nersonate Miss Holiday, but who was
the elder woman-her mother? Then
the liaison must have taken place in
France-her accent was not to be mis-.
taken-but in France Mr.. Holiday
had been always with his wife. Be-
sides, the younger woman spoke Eng
lish perfectly. True, she had said only
few words-the hoarseness might
have been affected to conceal a differ
ence in voice-but how explain the
elder woman's resemblance to Hiram
Holidays daughter? Could they both
be illegitimate? But that was non
sense, for Mrs. Holiday had takei.
her into her life, had loved her
And Martigny? Who was he? What
was his connection with these women
That the crime had been carefully
planned I could not doubt, and it had
been carried out with surprising skill.
Doubtless it was Martigny who had
arranged the plot, who had managed
its development. And with what bold
ness! He had not feared to be pres
ent at the inquest or even to ap-
proach me and discuss the case with
me- I tried to recall the details of our
talk, impatient that I had paid SO
little heed to It. He had asked, remem-
bered, what would happen to Frances
Holiday if she We're found guilty. He
had been anxious, then, to save her.
He had-yes. saw it now-he had
written the note which did save her; he
had run the risk of discovery to get her
free!
But why?
If I only had clew-one thread to
follow! One ray Of light would be
enough. Then could see my way out
Of this hopeless tangle. I should know
how to strike. But to stumble blindly
onward in the dark-that might do
more harm than good.
Yes, and there was another thing for
me to guard against. What was to
prevent him the moment he stepped
ashore wiring to his confederates,
warning them, telling them to fee? Or
he might wait, watching us, until he
saw that they were really in danger.
In either event they must easily es-
cape. Miss Kemball had been right
when she pointed out that our only
hope was in catching them unprepared.
The impulse was too strong to be
resisted. In a moment I was ON my
feet. But, no! To surprise him would
be to make him suspect. I called a
steward.
Take this card up to NJ. Martigny," !"
I said, sin 375. and ask if he is well
enough to see me-"
As he hurried away a sudden doubt
seized me. Horrifed at my hardihood.
! opened my mouth to call him back.
But did not call. Instead sank back
into my chair and stared out across the
water.
'M. Martigny," said the stewards s
voice at my elbow, answers that he
will be most pleased to see M. Lester
at once"

ment-the need was yer' sudden, as
have said. 1 had not time to engage a
stateroom."
'That explains it. Well, the doctor
told me that you were bed fast.''
Eyes; since the voyage began have
not left it,
I watched him as he went through
the familiar motion of lighting a Sec
ond cigarette from the first one. In the
nalf light of the cabin had not at first
perceived how ill he looked.
''But you, Mistair Lester" he was
saying. Glow does it occur that you
also are going to France? I did not
snow you contemplated''-
.'lso,' I answered calmly, for had
seen that the question was inevitable,
and I. even welcomed 1t, since it gave
me opportunity to get my guns going.
mo; the last time saw you I didn't
contemplate it, but good deal has
happened since then. Would you care
20 hear?'
Oh, how relished tantalizing him!
Il should like very exceedingly to
hear" he assured me and shifted his
position a little so that his face was in
the shadow. '"The beams OF light
through the shutter makes my eyes to
hurt" he added.
So he mistrusted himself; so he was
not finding the part an easy one either!
The thought gave me new courage.

I told you once that if I ever went to
work on the Holiday case I'd try first
to find the murderess. 1 succeeded in
doing it the very first day"
"Ahr' he breathed. And after the
police had failed! That was, indeed,
remarkable. How did you accomplish
it?"
"By the merest chance; by great good
fortune. 1 was making a search of the
French quarter, house by house, when.
on Houston street, came to restau-
rant, the Cafe Jourdain A bottle of
superieur set Jourdain's tongue to wag
ging. l pretended I wanted a room.
He dropped a word, the merest hint,
and in the end l got the whole story
1t seems there was not only one won,-
an-there were two"
"Yes?'
"Yes, and man whose name was
Betuny, or Bethune, or something like
that. But didn't pay much attention
to him. He doesn't figure in the case.
He didn't even 60 away with the wom-
en-. The very day I set out on my
search he was picked up on the streets
somewhere suffering with apoplexy
and taken to hospital, SO nearly dead
that it was a question whether he
would recover. So he's out Of it. The
Jourdains told me that the women had
sailed for France"
'sYou will pardon me-" said my hear
er, 'but in what way did you make
sure that they were the women you de-
sired?''
''By the younger ones resemblance to
Miss Holladay," answered, lying with
a glibness which surprised myself.
1.-THE Jourdains maintained that pho
tograph of Miss Holiday was really
one of their lodger.''
''Ah, yes," he said. 'That was ex-
ceedingly clever. should never have
thought of that. That is worthy of NJ
Lecoq. And so you follow them to
France; but surely you have some more
definite address than that!''
