CHAPTER VII

Alfred Cassagne was the son Of
large contractor, who had accumulated
a considerable fortune in the construction
Of those remarkable docks in the city of
Hayre, which have helped to make that
place the most important harbor of
France. He lost his father when mere
child. His mother, dying when he was
but twenty-five years of age, had left
him amply provided for. But he had
never married. OF quite studious turn
of mind, he had devoted himself to
books, and might possibly have degener-
ated into a book worm, or have sunk so
low as to become an author, If an event
had not transpired which changed the
whole current of his existence.
He awoke one morning to find that the
cashier of a bank where he usually had
large balance, had absconded with the
funds Of that Institution. Where he had
gone, was equally mystery to the police
and the officers of the concern. Having
considerable interest in the capture of the
fugitive, Cassagne set about making In
quiries on his own account. From these
inquiries he quietly deduced his own the
cries, and one morning, to the intense
astonishment of the chief of police, he en-
tered the presence of that functionary
and stated his opinion on the case very
briefly. 1t was to the effect that the
president of the bank and the cashier
were in collision, and that the cashier,
whom most people believed to be by that
time safely In America, that Mecca for
European rogues, would be found hiding
in the presidents own private residence.
The chief of police had laughed at first :;
but Alfred Cassagne was permitted to
proceed. 1t was known he was a gentle
man of fortune and men of means are
never snubbed very badly anywhere
Very soon, moreover, the official grew
serious. By system of logical deduc-
ton from circumstances already known
Cassagne established his theory on basis
SO ingenious as to excite the chiefs warm
est admiration. Subsequent search dis
covered that the state of things Cassagne
had believed to exist in theory, was really
true.
Alfred Cassagne might now possibly
have been forty years of age, though when
not disguised, owing to his smoothly
shaven face, he appeared to be younger.
lie was rather above the middle height.
and though somewhat narrow across the
shoulders, the great depth of his chest
made ample amends for this deficiency.
His hair was cut very short to- permit of
his more readily wearing the various wigs
by which be frequently concealed his iden-
tity. His mouth was well cut, the lips
thin and somewhat pursai together, as
is often the habi5 with men who pass
much time in thinking. His nose was
large and very prominent, His hands
and feet small and rather delicate. His
