raised.
"The handkerchief is large one
blue with red stripes, and the cap Is
an old Basque cap, like the one you
are wearing now"
"You are a wizard" said Daddy
Jacques, trying to laugh and not quite
succeeding. How do you know that
the handkerchief is blue with red
stripes"
Because if it had not been blue
with red stripes it would not have
been found at ALL"
Without giving any further atten-
ton to Daddy Jacques my friend took
4 piece of paper from his pocket and.
taking out a pair Of scissors, bent
over the footprints. Placing the pa
per over one of them, he began to
cut. In q short time he had made a
perfect pattern, which he handed to
me. begging me not to lose it.
He then returned to the window
and. pointing to the figure Of Fred
eric Larsan, who had not quilted the
side Of the lake, asked Daddy Jacques
whether the detective had, like him
self. been working in the yellow room.
mo" replied Robert Darzac, who
since Rouletabille had handed him the
piece Of scorched paper had not ut
tered word. 'He pretends that he
does not need to examine the yellow
room He says that the murderer
made his escape from 1t in quite a nat
ural way and that he will this evening
explain how he did It,"
AS he listened to what NJ. Darzac
had to say Rouletabille turned pale.
HAS Frederic Larsan found out the
truth, which l can only guess at?' he
murmured. "He is very clever-very
clever-and admire him. Yet 1 have
discovered many things"
Moral or materially" l asked.
Several moral, one material. This,
for example"
And rapidly he drew from his waist
coat pocket a piece of paper in which
he had placed light colored hair from
a woman's head.

CHAPTER VIII.
The Examining Magistrate Cues
tons Mile. StAnserson.

1.-TWO minutes later, as Rouleta'
billie was bending over the foot
prints discovered in the park,
under the window of the vesti-
bule, man, evidently servant at the
chateau, came toward us rapidly and
called out to M. Darzac, then coming
out of the pavilion:
IN. Robert, the magistrate, you
know, is questioning mademoiselle."
M. Darzac uttered a muttered ex-
cuse to us and set off running toward
the chateau, the man running after
him.
1--WE must know" said my friend.
lets go to the chateau" And he
drew me with him. But at the cha
teau a gendarme placed in the vesti-
bule denied us admission up the stair
case of the first floor. We were obliged
to wait downstairs.
This is what passed in the chamber
of the victim while we were waiting
below.
The family doctor, finding that Mile
StangersOn was much better, but fear
ing a relapse which would no longer
permit Of her being questioned, had
thought 1t his duty to inform the eX-
aiming magistrate of this, who de-
cided to proceed Immediately with Il
brief examination. AT this examina-
ton the registrar, M. Stangerson and
the doctor were present Later l OBJ

animation, and i give it here in all its

Boy Takes Barrie at His Word.
cleveland Leader.)

J. NJ. Barrie, the popular novelist and
playwright, has glorified tobacco more
than once, but on certain occasion he
tried to induce a smoker to desist. It
happened thus:
Mr.. Barrie returned to his rooms one
day and discovered his page boy puff
ing hard at a dirty clay pipe.
MY boy" said the novelist, ut Is
very bad for you to smoke that coarse
black twist. You will make yourself
old before your time.
And so he went on till he had deliv-
cred long and what he believed to be
a telling lecture. A day or two later
the youth left without notice, and
shortly afterward Mr. Barrie brought
some friends to his flat. Promising
them a special treat. he went to a
cabinet where he kept a store Of very
choice cigars. You can imagine his
chagrin when he discovered that the
cigars had vanished, and in their place
was the page boys clay pipe and the
following note:
Dear Sir: I agree with you that it
is bad for boy to smoke twist. I will
not smoke any more twist till have
finished your cigars
