| the woman DanVlIIS,S COuneCliOu Will
| her brothers secret designs is ascer-
| tanned, through the vigilance OF the be-
| loren entiOned patriot citizen. The IN
terview of the two suspected persons
is private; their conversation is car
ried on in whispers. Little can be over
heard; but that little suffices to prove
that Trudaine's sister is perfectly
aware of his intention to proceed for
the third time to the house on Rue de
| Clery. It is further discovered that
she awaits his return, and that she
! then goes back privately to her own
| house. 90 Meanwhile, the strlctest
measures are taken for watching the
house in the Rue de Clery. 1t was dis
covered that Trudaine's visits are PAID
| to a man and woman known to the
landlord and dodgers by the name OF
Dubois They live on the third floor.
1t is impossible, at the time OF the dis
| covery, to enter this room, or to see
| the citizen and cheyenne DUBOIS with
out producing an undesirable disturb
ance in the house and neighborhood.
| A police agent is left to watch the
place, while search and arrest orders
are applied for. The granting of these
| is accidentally delayed. When they
are ultimately obtained, it is discov-
cred that the man and woman are both
missing. They have not hitherto been
traced (4) The landlord Of the house
is Immediately arrested, as we'll as the
police agent appointed to watch the
premises. The landlord protests that
he knows nothing of his tenants. 1t is
| suspected, however, that he has been
tempered with, as also that Trudalne
papers, delivered to the citizen and cit
oyenne Dubois, are forged passports.
With these and with money, it may
not be impossible that they have al
ready succeeded in escaping from
France. The proper measures have
been taken for stopping them, if they
have not yet passed the frontiers. No
further report in relation to them has
yet been received. (5) Trudaine and
his sister are under perpetual surveil-
lance; and the undersigned holds him
self ready for further orders Signed,
Magloire. Countersigned, Lomaque.'
Having finished reading his notes,
Magloire placed them on the writing
table. He was evidently a favored man
in the office, and he presumed upon his
position; for he ventured to make re-
mark, instead Of leaving the room in
silence, like his predecessor, Picard.
when Citizen Danville returns to
Paris he began, The will be rather as
tonished to find that in denouncing his
wifes brother, he has also unconscious
ly denounced his wife,
Lomaque looked up quickly, with
that old weakness in his eyes which
affected them in such strangely ir-
regular manner on certain occasions.
Friend MaglOire," said Lomaque,
winking mildly, your last remark
| looks to me like question in disguise.
I put questions constantly to others
| [ never answer questions myself. You
want to know, citizen, what our super
| intendent's secret motive is for de-
| nouncing his wife's brother? Suppose
| you try and find that out for yourself.
| 1t will be famous practice for you,
| friend Magloire-famous practice after
! Office hours"
Amy further orders?" inquired Ma
| glOire sulkily.
"None in relation to the reports" re-
! turned LomaQue. 81 find nothing TO
! alter or add on a revised hearing. But
I shall have a little note ready for you
| Immediately. Sit down ct the other
desk, friend Magloire; I am very fond
! of you when you are not inquisitive-
pray sit down.
While addressing this polite invita-
ton to the agent in his softest voice,
| Lomaque produced his pocketbOOk and
! drew from it a little note, which he
opened and read through attentively.
| 1t was headed, "Private Instructions
relative to Superintendent Danville,"
and proceeded thus:
"The undersigned can confidently as
sert, from long domestic experience in
Danvilles household, that his motive
for denouncing his wife's brother is
purely personal one, and is not in the
most remote degree connected with pol
tiles Briefly, the facts are these: Louis
| Trudaine, from the first, opposed his sis
ter's marriage with Danville, distrust-
ing the latters temper and disposition.
The marriage, however, took place, and
the brother resigned himself to await
results, taking the precaution OF living
in the same neighborhOod as his Sis
ter, to interpose, if need be, between
the crimes which the husband might
commit and the sufferings which the
wife might endure. The results soon
| exceeded his worst anticipations, and
called for the interposition for which
he had prepared himself. He is man
of infeXible firmness, patience and in
tegrity, and he makes the protection
and consolation of his sister the bust
ness of his life. He gives his brother
in-law no prextext for openly quarrel
ing with him. He is neither to be de-
ceived. irritated nor tired out, and he is
Danville's superior every way-in con-
duct, temper and capacity. Under these
circumstances, it is unnecessary to say
that his brother-in-laW's enmlty
towards him is of the most implacable
kind, and equally unnecessary to hint
at the perfectly plain motive of the de-
nunciation.
GAS to the suspicious circumstances
affecting not TrUdaine only, but his SIS
ter as we'll, the undersigned regrets his
inability, thus far to offer either ex-
PLANTATION or suggestion. At this pre-
liminary stage, the affair seems in
volved in impenetrable mystery.
