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-
complshed? And what was his motive in
committing the crime? Was he in any
way connected with M. Chabot? Could
II 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.
II must write at once" he said pres
emily, ito Cliquot. Cliquot is my assist
AM. we uuSl nave MN keep Watcn 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 if 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 n critic.
"Madame's husband left her very well
off, should judge" he remarked at last.
Very" replied DIR. Mason.
How long ago did Monsieur Roupell
die?"
About fifteen years."

week later the order was countermand-
ed, without explanation. 1t is declar-
ed here that President Roosevelt and
Secretary of War Taft think the DOS
sibility of serious rioting in the United
States is strong enough to warrant
keeping the soldiers in this country.
The Seventh was to replace the Second
regiment, now on its way home. Now
no regiment will take the place of the
Second in the islands. 1t is said the
government thinks the menace of dis
order by unemployed workingmen, in
cited by anarchists and radical social
lists, is really greater than the danger
of actual anarchists rioting.

DRASTIC ORDERS GIVEN
Railroad Gives Orders to Discharge

Pittsburg, pam order has been
issued by the Pennsylvania railroad
to discharge all foreign wOTkmen and
to employ in their stead native Amer
lean or naturalized citizens. This ac'
ton is in line with that of big coke
companies, who not long ago decided
to discriminate against alien labor as
undesirable from the standpoint of
efficiency and because of its disOrderly
tendencies. When the order reached
Pittsburg to discharge all foreigners,
some of the foremen in the cleaning
departments and section forces object
ed When the objections reached head
quarters peremptory orders, supposed
0 have been issued by superintendent
of these departments, were issued to
discharge foreigners at once. The or
der means that thousands of foreigners
who have been favored in the past will
be out of employment. Foreigners
who are out of work have learned that
if they are naturalized no objections
are made to them. AS a result, the
courts in western Pennsylvania have
been kept busy making citizens of
hungarians, Slavs, Polanders and Ital-
ians, who predominant.

one had passed through that opening he
would surely have discovered it."
The project is doubtless a good Off
GER" replied Cassagne, but if he had
looked closer, he would have seen that in
climbing through the window the man
bi ushed the dust off this geranium leaf
with his coat
The doctor bent down and placed the
leaf indicated alongside one that had not
been touched. The truth of the detec-
tive's discovery became then convincing.
One was covered with dust, the other had
been swept partly clean. NJ. Cassagne
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,
replacing, carefully, the seals which he
had removed
Taking his hat from the rack in the
hall, and inviting DIR. Mason to accom-
pany him, he passed quickly around to
the rear of the chateau. A man servant
was shaking some carpets on the back
lawn. He ordered him to bring a ladder,
and, placing it against the wall of the
chateau, assembled it nimby.
II thought So" he called down to the
doctor. 1.-THE ladder will bear two of us.
Come up, please"
What is it this time?'' inquired Ma
son, craning his neck so as to be on a
level with the window sill.
Cassagne directed the physicians at
tention to a slight abrasion of the stone.
THAT was caused by the mans shoe
when he leaped from the SILL" he explain
ed.
but where did he leap top 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 it is possible"
With the agility of a sailor ascending
the rigging of a vessel, he climbed up
the rest of the ladder, and stepped on to
the window sill. After measuring the
distance with his eye for few moments
he said:
1T was a desperate leap for a man
to take in the night time; but recollect,
he was a desperate fellow"
Then gathering himself together, and
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, and
With the agility of trapezist passed
hand over hand down to the trunk. AS
he swung himself around the branch, his
eye fell upon a small, glittering object
stuck fast in the fork of the tree. He
picked it up, and slid rapidly down to
the ground, where the doctor was await
ing him. Placing in the physicians hand
a small gold locket the detective ex-
claimed in delighted voice:
I'm have him-I'll find him now, if
have to hunt for him all over France"
Just then one of the servants approach
ed 1T was twelve O'Clock. Would the
gentlemen like breakfastY
THE gentlemen will have some break
fast by all MEANS" replied M. Cassagne.
"Our labor has been immense, our reward
ought to be proportionate," and the ply
stefan led the way, and together they
passed into the chateau.
