Driver Has Narrow Es-


GRAND RAPIDS, Wis, Sept. IL
Especial. Emile Henke, of the town
of Sigel, met with a peculiar accident
while driving home in a rain storm. The
night was dark, and he let the horse he
was driving have free rein, thinking
that the animal would best know the
road. The town was repairing an open
culvert, and the horse walked deliber-
ately off the abrupt embankment in such
a manner as to break his neck, killing
him Instantly Henke escaped unin-
iured.

VI the many frequenters of the vicom-
Jesse establishment in the Avenue Wag-
ram perhaps NJ. Jules Chabot was as well
come guest as any. His undoubted re-
Spectab1llty made him an exceedingly de-
slrable acquaintance. NJ. Chabot, on the
other hand, liked the free-and-easy at
mosphere of the de Valiar mansion. De
Fallar was man who always had some
young, rich fool dangling after him, de-
slrous of seeing life. A certain portion
OF the money only of these innocents
could be diverted to the innumerable and
mysterious uses of the Mutual Credit
and Trust Company. They we're then af-
forded ar opportunity of losing the resi-
due at the card tables in the Avenue
Wagram
Many, doubtless, who frequented the
vlcomte's establishment were totally nm
aware OF the risks they ran. These were
rarely suffered to go behind the curtain
VI. Chabot was one of those who had for
some time not been admitted to the priv
LEGGED circle without great care. To do
him justice, it is highly probable that if
the veil had been removed all at once, he
would have ceased his visits altogether.
He lived in bachelor apartments. Pro
foundry impressed with a sense of his
personal dignity, he endeavored on a very
small income to keep up appearances.
Lately, however, he had joined de Valiar
IN more than one investment by which
he had profted
The willy de Valiar, who had allowed
his friend to pocket something handsome
as his share of these enterprises, of
course, had his object in view What
other, indeed, could it be than to discover
all about Chabots rich friend, Nine
Roupell, concerning whom NJ Chabot was
not at all 10th to impart information,
for he would in his turn be able to dis
cover what probable dot the old lady
would be able to give whichever of the
girls he should choose to marry.
Such inquiries, the vicomte, whose po-
sition in the world of finance enabled him
to make better than ChabOt willingly
set on foot to oblige his friend. He as
sured NJ. Chabot that report had not ex-
aggerated Nine. ROupels wealth. That
a portion of a million and a half of
francs had been set apart for the Wei
don sisters. In the opinion of NJ Cha
bot it only remained for MIN to declare
himself to one or the other of the young
Ladies', and he had been, as the reader
will have seen, on the very eve of max
ing such a declaration to Emily Weldon
when the tragedy occurred.
The question which now arose in the
mind of NJ. Victor Lablanche, the astute
project of police, was this; Had NJ. Cha
bot sought to precipitate matters by the
removal of the proprietress of the Cha
tedu Nilleneuve? He had discovered al
ready that inquiries regarding her fortune
and her intentions respecting it had been
set on foot by Jules Chabot A little
further research revealed the fact that
the Frenchman's finances were in a des
perate condition. In his later enterprises
with the Vicomte de Valiar, fortune had
not been so kind. He had lost heavily.
