CHAPTER TX.

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
way connected with M. Chabot? Could
1t be possible that the project of police
had stumbled on the real instigator of
the murder in the person Of Chabot, and
that this unknown person was his 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.
"I must write at once" he said, pres
emily, Ito Cliquot. Cliquot Is my assist
ant. We must have him keep watch of
this Monsieur Chabot's movements"
NJ. Cassagne wrote out a series of in
structions, particularly cautioning his as
sistant to keep track of NJ. Chabot, and
under no circumstances, If he ran across
any of the people from the prefecture, to
let them really know who he was. Then
he appeared to be engrossed In thought.
He rubbed his hands violently together,
as IL he would impart activity to his
brain by the friction. He arose, thrust
back his chair, and began to walk rapidly
up and down the room, stopping occasion
ally to examine the pictures on the walls,
with the eye Of critic.

was a poor looking creature, quite broken

kind of man TO commit daring crime"

smiled with pardonable pride, and, saying
that he had for the present nothing fur
Their to examine In the bed chambers, led
the way down stairs, first of all, however,

had removed.

What is it this timer" inquired Ma

level with the window sill.
Cassagne directed the physicians at
tention to n slight abrasion of the stone.

But where did he leap TOT" inquired
the doctor. This window is twenty feet
from the ground, at least. Even if he
had been in his stocking feet he must
have left some impression, and you say
he had shoes on"
He reached the ground another way,
that is ALL" replied Cassagne. Most
likely he jumped into that tree. Let's
see If 1t is possible"
With the agility of a sailor ascending
the rigging of vessel, he climbed VI
the rest of the ladder. and stepped on tc
the window sill. After measuring the
distance with his eye for few moments
he said:
ut was desperate leap for a mar
to take in the night time but recollect
he was a desperate fellow"
Then gathering himself together, anC
exerting his enormous muscular strength
he sprang from the window. A project
ing bough nearly a dozen feet away was
his objective point. He caught it, ant

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Two-Thfrds of tho Worlds Core

spondence Carried on in 1t.
Two-thirds Of all the letters which
pass through the postoffices OF the
world are written by and sent to PEG
pie who speak English. There are
substantially 500,0O0,OOO persons speak
ing colloQuially one or another of the
ten or twelve chief languages, and of
persons, speak English. About oO,0OO,-
600 speak Russian, 100000 German
100000 French, 100000 Spanish
35,000,000 italian, and 100000 Por
tuguese; and the balance Hungarian.
Dutch, Flemish, Danish, Polish and
Norwegian.
Thus, while only one-quarter Of
those who employ the facilities of the
postal departments Of civilized govern
ments speak English as their native
tongue, two-thirds Of those who CORE
spond do so IN the English language
This situation arises from the fact that
so large a share of the commercial
business Of the world is done in En-
glish, even among those who do not
speak English as their native tongue.
There are, for instance, more than 90
600 postoflces in India, the business Of
which In letters and papers aggregate
more than 30O,OO00O0 parcels a year.
and the business of these offices is done
chiefly In English, though Of midas
total population, which is nearly 300,-
100000, fewer than 100000 persons
either speak or understand English
Though 90,0OO,0O0 speak Russian and
understand 1t, the business Of the Rus
sian postoffice department is relatively
small, for the number of letters sent
throughout the Cars empire amounts
to less than one-tenth the number
mailed in Great Britain alone, though
the population Of Great Britain is con-
slderably less than one-half of the pop
rlation Of Russia in Europe.

honeIY Art Criticism.

An aged woman was standing be
fore beautiful picture of a black
smith in local department store
last week. The picture was a re-
markable painting. and had evoked
SO much praise that hundreds of Wis
itors thronged around it. The figure
was that Of a village blacksmith
standing at his forge. which was
blazing with light that illuminated
the whole room.
The woman came to the canvas
with several younger women, appar
emily her children. They all stood
with rapt attention before the work
of art. contemplating the light eff
fects and the beautiful shadows. One
of the younger women asked of the
elderly one what she thought of the
picture. Ya
"WeE, it's all right but the
sleeves, she replied. II lived in the
country a long time and know some
thing that the painter with all his
KNOWN didn't know That black
smiths sleeves are rolled out. Now
they don't wear them that way. A
blacksmith always turns his sleeves
in so the flying sparks won't catch"

well for every woman to possess, and
which can be utilized in number of
ways. It can be made closed at the
front or at the back, it can be made
with high neck or low round or
square neck, and it can be cut OF at
the waist line or finished in either
round or pointed outline below the
waist. To use it to the greatest ad-
vantage it should be cut and exactly
fitted to the figure, then reserved for
future use, as it makes a foundation
from which all others can be cut and
