who had again been thinking deeply, ex-
claimed:
II shall not be satisfied until / have
examined the state papers relating to this
trial, at the conclusion of which Philip
La Seur was sent to Toulon."
You will waste your time" replied
D'Auburon.
II shall not. How do you know there
may not have been Communication of SEN
tence?"
II must confess that did not even occur
to me-"
well, 1t occurred to me; and in any
event it will be time we'll spent to look
over the record of the trial. Philip La
Seur may have called witnesses to testify
in his own behalf-to speak, for instance,
of his former good character-and who
knows what we may learn from them?
Go out and get a cab, while take down
the number of the case and put away
these books"
ITO the Palais de Justice
As they ere about to step into cab,
newsboy approached them, crying:
Horrible murder A body found In
the Seine !"
Buy a paper, D'Auburon," said Cas-
sagne, as he leaped into the vehicle
DAuburon did as requested, and jump
ing into the cab after his friend, spread
the sheet just wet from the press out
upon his knees.
''Ah! !" he CALCULATED this plot thick
ems with vengeance. Whom do you think
the murdered man ISL"
II cannot guess"
at is Vougeot, the detective whom the
project of police placed on the track of
Jules Chabot-"
1t was not voluminous document, the
report of the trial and conviction of
Philip La Seur. To be sure, no one from
a perusal of it could have argued the
identity of the prisoner In the case with
the Philip Graham of Belliers. But were
the facts CLEANED from the evidence con-
elusive? Certainly not. There were
points of identity, however, which were
quite marked; the age of the prisoner
nearly corresponded with that of the man
they were looking for; he had not been
all his life in Paris; he had neither father
nor mother living-but beyond that there
was little enough about his family his
tory. The court had offered to appoint
prisoner had refused and had made a not
unable speech in his own behalf, which
in all likelihood had been the means Of
sensibly influencing the court, for In
pronouncing sentence, the judge had ex-
pressed his regret that the prisoner had
misused his talents to commit the crime
with which he stood charged Though
he examined all the papers connected
with the case, Cassagne was unable to
discover anything by which the identity
of the two persons could be more fully
established.
I'VE have yet the locket," he said, at
length, 'hich perhaps may help US"
but IL is the locket of Henry, not
Philip Graham" said D'Auburon.
Il have not forgotten that" replied
the detective. But family likeness is
strong thing sometimes. This portrait
of Henry Graham is undoubtedly good
likeness. Recollect that DIR. Mason, the
laundress, the janitor at Blols and the
priest at Belliers have all recognized il as
his portrait 1t was taken when he was
quite a young man. Sometimes father
and son, at the same age, very closely re-
semble each other. II there should be a
strong likeness between the portrait and
Philip La seur whom should you take
