MS only way our was 0y InS W8A0OW
In the vestibule, unless he could pass
through q grated window. The win
dow Of the yellow room ID secured oy
iron bars, because &c looks out upon
the open country; the two windows of
the laboratory have 20 be protected In
like manner for tha same reason. -
the murderer got away conceive that
he found q window that was not bar
red-that OF the vestibule, which opens
on to the park-that IL 80 say, into che
interior OF the estate There's not
much magic I'm all that"
YES" said III. de Aerquet, 'bse what
you have not guessed = that tiaaB single
window In the vestibube, though 1t he's
no iron bars, has solid iron blinds.
Now, these iron blinds have remained
fastened by their iron latch, and yet
we have proof that the murderer made
his escape from the pavilion BY that
windowl Traces OF blood On the inside
wall and on the blinds as we'll a. On
the floor, and footmarks. OF which I
have taken the measurements, attest
the fact that the murderer made hae
escape that way. But, then, how did
he do 1t, seeing that the blinds remain
Cd fastened on the fnside3 He passed
through them like q shadow. But
what Is more bewildering than oil, u
that It Is impossible o form any idea
a. to how the murderer cot out OF the
yellow room Or how no ct across the
laboratory to reach the veetfbulep'
eCould that window have been
closed and refastened after the flight
OF the assassin" asked Rouletabille.
taThat is what occurred Co me for
moment. but 1t would imply "a accom-
plice or acconplices, and ] 0on't Gee''-
After short silence he added:
"Ah, IL Mile. stsngesson were only
wei enough today c allow Of her
being questioned"
Rou1etabil1e, following up his
thought, asked:
"And the attic? There must be some
opening to thati"
Eyes; there Is a window or, rather,
skylight In It, which, 90 d looks out
toward the country, NJ. stangersor
has had barred, like the rest OF the
windows. These bars. Cd In the other
windows, have remained intact, and
the blinds, which naturally open IN
ward, have not been unfastened. for
the rest, we have not discovered any
thing to lead us Co suspect that the
murderer had passed Through tho -
tic"
1T seems clear 20 you, tnsu, mon,
gleur, that the murderer escaped-ao-
body knows hoW-by the window IN
the vestibule?'
Everything goes 20 prove IT.
II think SO, too" confessed Beuleta>
billie gravely.
After q brief silence - eon42nueag
eff you have not 4ognG any traces
of the murderer In the attic, such a.
the dirty footmagks similar to those
on the floor OF the yellow room. you
must come to the conclusion that lt
was not be who stole Daddy jacques
revolver
There are no footmarks In the attic
other than those Of Daddy jacques
himself" said the magistrate with .
significant turn OF his head. Then,
after an apparent decision, ne added,
Daddy jacques was with M. Stanger~
son in the laboratory, and Ii was lucky
for him he was"
''Then what part did his revolver
play in the tragedy &c seems very
clear that this weapon did less harm
to Mile. Stangerson than 1t did 20 the
murderer"
The magistrate made no reply TO
this question, which doubtless embar-
ragsed him. I'M. Stangerson,' he said,
ste1ls us that the two bullets have
been found In the yellow room, one
embedded I'm the wall stained with the
impression OF g red hand-a mans
large hand-and the other LIN the cell
ing"
'Oh, oh, In the cetllngp' muttered
Rouletabille. I'm the ceiling! That's
very curious! In the ceilingg''
He pulled awhile In silence at his
pipe, enveloping himself In the smoke.
When we reached Eplnay-sur-Orge ]
had to tap him on the shoulder Co
arouse him from his dream and come
out on to the platform OF the station.
There the magistrate and his regis
trar bowed to Us and, BY rapidly get
ting into cab that was awaiting
them, made us understand that they
