cause, latterly, Graham. for fear Of cred

Roupell, thus again establishing beyond
a doubt the identity Of the Henry Ora
ham Of Blois with the dissoluts brother
OF the late owner OF the Chateau VILE

The surname Of Henry Graham's sec
ond correspondent had escaped the mem
DRY OF the concierge In the course Of
years. He was positive, however, that
her nrst name had been Helene, and that
she had resided at Bslliers, a unali village
In tho department OF the Loirs.
Ths second correspondent had also
been \ lady-a well-sducatsd, refined

the habit Of taking up M. Grahsm's mail,
and tho envelopes had been nns and deli

too, had turned his steps In the direction

Cassagne, must hasten, there 10 pursue
his investigations but first Of all he
would go to Paris. He must ind out
what M. Lablanche had accomplished. He
must also receive the report of his as
sistant, who meantime would not have
been idle.
The first thing M. Cassagns did upon
his arrival In Paris was 30 hail a cab.
Jumping In, he babe the man drive to
the apartment of his friend and assist

"Confound the fellow" exclaimed the
impatient Cassagne. II never call on
him but he is either In the bath or just
about to take one. 1t Is the one thing

slippers, swinging two enormous Indian
clubs In = manner that threatened de-
struction to tha chandeliers and orna-
ments.
While he was thus engaged, Cassagne
had arisen. BE was walking restlessly up
and down the room The splashing OF the
water had given him a sudden Ht Of shiv-
ering. The sight Of his friend wasting
precious time on what he deemed a friv-
olous exercise also irritated him Bud
denly his eye fell upon a card In the
receiver on the center table. II was q
very elegantly engraved piece Of paste
board, surmounted with a coronet en-
bossed In gold Its inscription read:
The Vicomte de Valiar.~
"Ah,~ exclaimed Cassagne, -that's the
man to whom l procured you the letter
OF introduction. You managed to get

"Yes," replied DAuburon, and he cali
