In 1URlNG the days that followed
had several opportunities to
HU question Rouletabille as to his
- reason for his voyage to Amer
lea, but l obtained no more precise an
swers than he had given me on the
evening of the adjournment of the
trial, when we were on the train for
Paris. One day, however, on my still
pressing him, he said:
Cant you understand that 1 had to
know Larsan's true personalityT
mo doubt" l said, "but why did
you go to America to find that out?''
He sat smoking his pipe and made
no further reply. began to see that
was touching on the secret that con-
cerned Mile. Stangerson. Rouletabille
evidently had found 1t necessary to 60
to America to find out what the mys-
terious tie was that bound her to Lar
san by so strange and terrible bond.
In America he had learned who Lar
san was and had obtained information
which closed his mouth. He had been
to Philadelphia.
And now what was this mystery
which held Mile. Stangerson and M.
Robert DarZac in so inexplicable a ST.
lence? After 30 many years and the
publicity given the case by a curious
and shameless press, now that M.
Stangerson knows all and has forgiven
all, all may be told. In every phase
Of this remarkable story Mile. Stan
gerson had always been the sufferer
The beginning dates from the time
when, as a young girl, she was living
with her father In Philadelphia. A
visitor at the house, a Frenchman, had
succeeded by his wit, grace and per-
sistent attention in gaining her affec-
lions. He was said to be rich and had
asked her Of her father. NJ. Stanger-
son, on making inquiries as to NJ.
Jean Roussel, found that the man was
q swindler and an adventurer. Jean
Roussel was but another of the many
names under which the notorious Ball
meyer, fugitive from France, tried
to hide himself. NJ. Stangerson did
not know of his identity with Ball
meyer. He learned that the man was
simply undesirable for his daughter.
He not only refused to give his consent
to the marriage, but denied him ad-
mission into the house. Mathilde
Stangerson, however, had fallen in
love. To her Jean Roussel was every
thing that her love painted him. She
was indignant at her fathers attitude
and did not conceal her feelings. Her
father sent her to stay with an aunt
In Cincinnati. There she was joined
by Jean Roussel and, in spite Of the
reverence she felt for her father, ran
away with him to get married.
They went to Louisville and lived
there for some time. One morning, how
ever, a knock came at the door Of the
house in which they were. and the 20.
lice entered to arrest lean Rousscl. IL

like a mailman and crying to you: IN
get the better of the great Fred! III
get the better of him in way that
will make sensation!
"But one important point escaped US
both. 1t was one which ought to have
opened our eyes TO Larsan. DO you re-
member the bamboo cane? was sur
prised to find Larsan had made no use
Of that evidence against Robert Oar
FAC. Had il not been purchased by 4
man whose description Tailed exactly
with that of Darzac? Well, just be-
fore saw him off at the train after
the recess during the trial | asked him
why he hadn't used the cane evidence.
He told me he had never had any In
tention of doing so; that our discoy-
cry of it in the little inn at Epinay
had much embarrassed him. If you
will remember, he told us then that
the cane had been given him in Lon
don. Why did we not Immediately
say TO ourselves: Fred is lying; he
could not have had this cane in Lon
don; he was not in London; he bought
It in ParisY Then you found out on
inquiry at Cassette's that the cane had
been bought by person dressed very
like Robert Darzac, though, as we
learned later from Darzac himself, it
was not he who had made the pur-
chase. Couple this with the fact we
already knew from the letter at the
postc rcstante that there was actually
man In Paris who was passing as
Robert Darzac. Why did we not i'm
mediately fix on Fred himself?
"Of course his position was against
us, but when we saw the evident
eagerness on his part to find convict
ing evidence against Darzac-nay, even
the passion he displayed in his pur-
suit Of the mantle lie about the cane
should have had a new meaning for
us. IL you ask why Larsan bought the
cane if he had no intention of manu-
featuring evidence against Darzac by
means of 1t, the answer is quite sim
pie. He had been wounded in the
hand by Mile. Stangerson, so that the
cane was useful to enable him to close
his hand in carrying it. You remem-
Der l noticed that he always car
ricd it,
"All these details came back to my
mind when had once fixed on Larsan
as the criminal. But they were too
late then to be of any use to me- On
the evening when he pretended to be
drugged looked at his hand and saw
thin silk bandage covering the signs
Of slight healing wound. Had we
taken a quicker initiative at the time
Larsan told US that lie about the cane,
l am certain lie would have gone off
TO avoid suspicion. All the same, we
worried Larsan, or Ballmeyer, without
our knowing It,"
But" 1 interrupted, IF Larsan had
no intention of using the cane as evil
dence against Darzac, why had he
made himself up to look like the man
when he went in to buy itY'
"He had not specially made up as
Darzac to buy the cane; he had come
straight to Cassette's Immediately aft.
er he had attacked Mile. Stangerson."

when Rouletabille had finished.
The courtroom became agitat-
u ed with the murmurings Of
suppressed applause. Maitre Henri
Robert called for an adjournment Of
the trial and was supported in his mo-
ton by the public prosecutor himself.
The case was adjourned. The next
day NJ. Robert Darzac was released on
bail, while Daddy Jacques received
the immediate benefit Of "a no cause
for action" Search was everywhere
made for Frederic Larsan, but In vain.
NJ. Darzac finally escaped the awful
calamity which at one time had threat
ened him. After visit to Mile. Stan
gerson he was led to hope that she
might by careful nursing one day re-
cover her reason.
Rouletabille and left Versailles to-
gether, after having dined at The
Dog That Smokes. In the train l put
a number Of questions to him.
MY friend" / said, II am still In
to America. When you left the Clan.
der you had found out. If rightly un-
derstand, all about Frederic Larsan.
You had discovered the exact way he
had attempted the murderY
"Qulte so. And you" he said, turn
ing the conversation, did you suspect
nothing?"
II don't see how could have sus-
pected anything. You took great pains
to conceal your thoughts from me.
Had you already suspected Larsan
when you sent for me to bring the re-
volvers?"
Yes! l had come to that conclusion
through the incident of the inexplica-
bic gallery Larsans return to Mile.
Stangersons room, however. had not
then been cleared up by the eyeglasses.
My suspicious were the outcome Of my
reasoning only, and the idea Of Larsan
being the murderer seemed so extraor-
binary that l resolved to wait for
actual evidence before venturing to
act. Nevertheless the suspicion wor-
ried me, and sometimes spoke to the
detective In n way that ought to have
opened your eyes. l spoke disparag-
ingly of his methods. But until |
found the eyeglasses I could but look
upon my suspicion of him in the light
Of an absurd hypothesis only. You

However" said the young report
er, "since mademoiselle is not here

NJ. Darzac, the only means to save

what is this secret motive that
compels Mile. Stangerson to hide her
knowledge from her father?" asked
the president.
THAT, monsieur, l do not know"
said Rouletabille. 1T is no business
of mine"
The president, turning to NJ. Darzac,
he knew.
do you still refuse monsieur, to tel!
us how you employed your time during
the attempts on the life Of Mile. Stan
gersonT'
Il cannot tell you anything, mon
sieur"
The president turned TO Roulctablle
as If appealing for an explanation.
1--WE must assume, Nj. President, that
Nj. Robert DarZac's absences are close
ly connected with Mile. Stangerson's
secret and that NJ. Darzac feels him
self in honor bound to remain silent.
1t may be that Larsan, who since his
three attempts has had everything in
training to cast suspicion on M. Oar
FAC, had fixed on just those occasions
for meeting with NJ. Darzac at a
spot most compromising. Larsan is
cunning enough to have done that"
The president seemed partly con-
WINGED; but, still curious, he asked:
But what is this secret of Mile.
Stangerson"
THAT l cannot tell you," said Roule-
tabille. Il think, however, you know
enough now to acquit NJ. Robert OAR
FAC, unless Larsan should return, and
l don't think he WILL" he added, with a
laugh
zone question more" said the presi-
dent. Admitting your explanation,
we know that Larsan wished to turn
suspicion on NJ. Robert Darzac. but
why should he throw suspicion on
Daddy Jacques also"
There came in the professional &C.
tective. monsieur, who proves himself
an unraveler Of mysteries. by annihi-
lating the very proofs he had accumu-
lated. He's Il very cunning man, and
a similar trick had often enabled him
to turn suspicion from himself. He
proved the Innocence of one before ac-
cusing the other. You can easily be-
lieve, monsieur, that so complicated a
scheme as this must have been long
and carefully thought out in advance
by Larsan. He found the opportunity
to rob Daddy Jacques Of a pair Of old
boots and CASTOR Basque cap, which
the servant had tied up In a handker-
chief with the intention Of carrying
them to a friend, a charcoal burner on
the road to Epinay. When the crime
was discovered Daddy Jacques had
Immediately recognized these objects
as his. They were extremely COM
promising. which explains his distress
at the time when we spoke to him
about them. Larsan confessed it all to
