Queer Positions of Hearts.

There is one curious fact which not
everybody notices about the common,
finger-long, green caterpilars of our
larger moths. Their hearts, instead Of
being in front, are at the back of the
body and extend along the entire
length of the animal. One can see the
heart distinctly through the thin skin
and can watch its slow beat, which
starts at the tail and moves forward
to the head, Hearts Of this sort reach
ing from head to tail are not at all I'M
common in the simpler creatures. The
earthworm has one, and so have most
worms, caterpillars and otfAr crawl
ing things Hearts in the middle Of the
back also are quite as frequent as
those in what seems to us to be the
natural place. Many animals, the lob
ster for example, and the crayfish and
the crab, which have short hearts like
those Of the beasts and birds, never
theless have them placed just under
the shell in what in ourselves, would
he the small of the back.-St Nicholas.

Five years before the tragedy at the
Chateau Nllleneuve. Charles D'Auburon
had found himself the untrammeled pos
SCISSOR of a considerable patrimony, and
had started in to enjoy life. He was then
twenty-one years of age. Two years later
he had exhausted every means of pleasure.
He was at that age when a really good
woman would have proved his salvation.
She did not, however, make her appear
ance. He was destined to find relief in
a more novel and totally unexpected di-
rection.

place for young man of means, who by
rights should at such an hour be snugly
in bed and asleep, to be wandering in at
three o'clock in the morning. 1t is the
abode of robbers. Every house in it h, a
den of thieves. The Seine, running by
at its foot with dark and turbid food,
is altogether too handy.
1t was to this unattractive street that
at an unseemly hour Charles D'Auburon
strayed with unconscious feet. He had
arisen from sleepless bed. and had
strolled far and near, intending to tire
himself out Then his reward would
come; repose, sound and refreshing, and,
glorious thought, perhaps an appetite, to
which latter luxury he had been for some
days a stranger.

He boarded a Troost avenue car at

-Four order clerks call at the door

He tucked the package closer under
his arm and became absorbed in his

CHAPTER Y.


There are all kinds of men in Paris,
all kinds of failures in life and all kinds
of successes-the poor genius who dis
patches himself in an attic, and the
financial magnate. The Vicomte de Va
lair was one of those gentlemen who
might be placed in the latter category.
At bound he had risen from compare
tive obscurity to sudden wealth and such
social position as his title, having its
source in the king of the Belgians, could
insure him in a society which cared rath-
er more for good dinners than old blood
The Vicomte de Valiar's great hit had
been the successful floating of the City
and Suburban Messenger Company. Lon
don had refused to accept this scheme
preferring to send its servants out into
the rain and ruin its liveries, to having
little instrument in the house by which
to summon at a trifling charge a messen-
ger, a doctor or a cab. De Valiar, with
an eye keen as a hawk, had watched the
career of the enterprise in the English
metropolis. He saw that it was insult
ed to the phlegmatic and exclusive tenn
permanent of the Briton. In the Ameri-
can colony at Paris alone was to be
found successful field for its opera
TONS
The projectors of the London COM
pany, Americans were glad enough to
sell the French patents. They even
laughed in their sleeves at the vicomte,
as they pocketed his cash, regarding him
already as ruined man. At the same
time they could not help admiring his
audacity. The Vicomte de Valiar was
audacious, and he displayed consummate
tact in putting his scheme before the
public. He opened a large and snowy
office He subsidized the most venal of
the Paris newspapers; he pulled thou
sand strings. Then, when all was ready,
he opened his subscription books. Hun
dreds came to his Office, rang up a mes
senger, and having subscribed, called up
cab on the queer little buzzing instru-
ment- and departed rejoicing in their
hearts that there were such enterprising
men in existence as the Vicomte de Va
liar.
All that was five years ago. Once
foated, the vicomte had promptly with
drawn himself from the messenger enter
prise, and invested the increased capital
which that speculation had brought him,
In the Mutual Credit and Trust Com
pany. A very limited number of shares
of this concern had been offered to the
public. Such was the prestige of the
vicomte's name that they had been sub
scribed for over and over again in a very
few hours.
But 1t was not alone in the field of
business that de Valar had achieved
such a remarkable success. The vicom-
tesse was brilliant, dark-eyed, handsome
woman, whom de Valiar claimed to have
met abroad during his travels in the West
1ndies-Martinique rumor had 1t. Her
entertainments were much sought after,
and who shall say that she was not a
useful and excellent helpmeet? If

The doctor was following this theory
with breathless interest. Go on" he
said.
He was about to retire as he came,
when the thought occurred to him TO
divert suspicion from himself by placing
the pistol he had picked up on his way

there must be a report and pistol

the distance to the tree. He went over
and fired the pistol at Madame Roupell.

the pistol down and jumped from the

Let me look at the locket," said the
doctor. Can you get, it open? 1t may
contain lock of hair or something"
II have already done that. 1t contains
a picture" responded Cassagne. 81 will
show you"
The detective took penknife and pried
up the little gold lid. A small photo
graph was disclosed to view. 1t was the
portrait of a man of about twenty years
of age.
What does this mean?" cried the doc
tor. Henry Graham cannot have com
mitted this murder. This is a portrait
of Henry Graham himself"
'Impossible !" CALCULATED the detective.
1T is fact" replied DIR. Mason. He
ran into the drawing room, and picking
up an album, turned the pages over rap
idly. Finally he stopped at certain
photograph.
That was Henry Graham when he
was decent member Of society" he said
The detective put the locket down close
to the photograph, and compared the two
pictures carefully.
There is no doubt whatever about it,
he remarked. "You are right; they are
portraits of one and the same man.
Then it couldn't be Henry Graham 2"
inquired the physician. "A man doesn t
carry a locket containing a picture OF
himself"
1T may not be Henry Graham at all"
replied the detective. II hope it isn't
for the sake of the family; but he's the
man we've got to look for first. and the
sooner we find him the better your
friends prospects are of regaining his
liberty"

Fleet Commander Arrives on
Connecticut Off Coronado and
Boards Car for Paso Robes

SAN DIEGO, April with her after
fighting tops blackened by the dense
coal smoke of fast .steaming, and with
twin starred flag of blue floating
from her main truck, the 10000 ton
battleship Connecticut, which pointed
the way of the Atlantic fleet from
Hampton roads, through the straits
OF Magellan. and on to Magdalena
bay, arrived off Coronado beach to-
day, bringing Rear Admiral Robley d.
Evans, commander in chief, for a
course OF treatment at the hot mineral
springs of California in the hope that
he may sufficiently recover his health
to be able to participate in some of
the hospitable welcomes which have
been arranged for the battleshjps at
the various ports they are to visit.
Admiral Evans was transferred to a
private car, which had been held here
two days to await his coming, and left
on the afternoon train for San Luis
Obispo He will receive treatment at
the Paso Robles springs, and in an
interview given out here. he expressed
the hope that he would benefit suffi-

Evans plainly showed the effects of
his intense suffering from rheumatism,
and admitted that at times the pains
have been almost unbearable. He de-
clined to leave the fleet until the
surgeons practically ordered him to
go. declaring that his rheumatism
would not yield to treatment at sea.

his hiding place through a friend with

cution. His offer was rejected.
Robertson declared today that II he
were found by any representative of
the district attorneys Office of San
Francisco 1T would be impossible to
get him back to San Francisco. He
said he would leap from a train or
ferry boat. Still he declared that he
did not share In the money plundered
from the bank. and stated that he had
no reason for shielding any one. He
said he had been left to look out for
himself and was now in distress.
"I have nothing but the kindliest
feelings for my foster brother, j. Dali
zell Brown. and the others under in
diotment in San Francisco" said Rob-
ertson, but my first duty is toward
myself and my wife, who has gone
back to San Francisco to try to save
what we honestly obtained from my
earnings"
VISITS THE NEWSPAPERS
1t is evident that Robertson is in
financial straits; for although under
indictment and haunted daily by fear
of arrest. he nevertheless insists upon
visiting the newspaper Offices. although
he has received a warning that Chief
Biggy has wired to the New York de-
tectives TO arrest him on sight. After
receiving this warning telegram he was
more cautions for a while. He kept in
touch with The Calls New York bureau
by telephone, but did not venture near.
Today he threw caution to the winds
and had the hardihood to visit news
paper Office here and offer his story
for sale.
It is understood that Robertson,
without actually confessing his own
guilt, is willing to write statement
admitting that the bank was looted.
He naturally wants to shield his step
brother, ]. Dalzell Brown. if possible,
for, as he says:
Brown. although only my foster
brother, is a good fellow and has al
ways treated me well"
Robertson dislikes Bartnett and

says that Treadwelrs coal mining
