CHAPTER In.

Hardly had NJ Alfred Cassagne swal-
lowed the last mouthful of his breakfast,
than his active mind reverted again to
the mystery which yet surrounded the
death of Nine. Roupell.
Who was the man, at present unknown,
who had crept like a thief in the night
into the chateau. and as quietly stolen
away when his foul work had been ac-
complished? And what was his motive in
committing the crime? Was he in any
wav connected with NJ. Chabot? Could
it be possible that the project OF police
had stumbled on the real instigator OF
the murder in the person of ChaOot, and
that this unknown person was MS con
federate? Most likely at that moment,
some officer from the prefecture was en-
gagged in closely watching Chabot's slight
est movements There might be some
thing in the projects theory. after all.
Mature reflection convinced NJ. Cassagne
that it would not do to dismiss it with
a mere shrug of the shoulders. Chabot's
accomplice might be the man they were
looking for. Anyhow, it would not do to
leave the point uncovered
