| Dut Lnere IS no doubt that they both know! The secret must be n terrible one. for the father had not hesitatpd to leave his daughter to die behind the door which she had shut upon herself terrible for him to have allowed the ! assassin to escape. For there is no i other way in the world to explain the murderer's flight from the yellow room.' t
 The silence which followed this dra- matic and lucid explanation was ap- palling. We all of us felt grieved for the illustrious professor. so driven into corner by the pitiless logic of Fred eric Larsan. so forced to confess the whole truth of his martyrdom or to Keep silent and thus make yet more terrible admission. The man himself, a yeritable statue of sorrow, raised his hand with a gesture so solemn that we bowed our heads to it as before something sacred. He then pronounc- ed these words in n voice so loud that 1t seemed to exhaust him:
 Il swear by the head of my suffering child never for an instant left the door of her chamber after hearing her cries for help; that that door was not opened while l was alone in the labo- ratory, and that. finally, when we en- tered the yellow room, my three do- mestlcs and I. the murderer was no longer there. swear do not know the murderer"
 Must l say if, in spite of the solem- nity of NJ. Stangerson's words we did not believe in his denial? Frederic Larsan had shown us the truth, and 1t was not so easily given up
 NJ. de Marquet announced that the conversation was at an end, and as we were about to leave the laboratory Jo- seph Rouletabille approached M Stan gerson. took him by the hand with greatest respect, and heard him say:

Frederic Larsan's Cane.

r IT was not till 6 o'clock that left III the chateau, taking with me II the article hastily written by
 0 my friend in the little sitting
 room which M. Robert Darzac had
 placed at our disposal. The reporter
 was to sleep at the chateau, taking ad- vantage of the to me inexplicabIe hos
 pitality offered him by NJ. Robert Dar-
 zac. to whom NJ. Stangerson in that | sad time left the care of all his do-
 mestic affairs. Nevertheless he insist
 ed on accompanying me to the station
 at Epinay. In crossing the park he said to me:
 Frederic is really very clever and
 has not belled his reputation. Do you know how he came to find Daddy Jacques boots? Near the spot where
 we noticed the traces of the neat boots
 and the disappearance of the rough ones there was a square hole. freshly
 made in the moist ground, where
 stone had evidently been removed.
 Larsan searched for that stone with out finding it and at once imagined that it had been used by the murderer with which to sink the boots in the lake. Fred's calculation was an excel. lent one, as the success of his search proves. That escaped me. but my mind was turned in another direction by the large number of false indica- tions of his track which the murderer left and by the measure of the black footmarks corresponding with that of Daddy Jacques boots. which I had es- tablished without his suspecting it. on the floor of the yellow room. All which was proof. In my eyes, that the murderer had sought to turn sus- picion on to the old servant. Up to that point Larsan and I are in ac. cord, but no further. It is going to be a terrible matter. for tell you he is working on wrong lines, and I--I must fight him with nothingw
 At that moment we passed by the back of the chateau. Night had come. A window on the first floor was partly open. A feeble light came from it as well as some sounds which drew our attention. We approached until we had reached the side of door that was situated just under the window. Rouletabille in low tone made me understand that this was the window of Mile. Stangerson's chamber. The sounds which had attracted our atten- tion ceased, then were renewed for a moment, and then we heard stifled | sobs. We were only able to catch l these words. which reached us dis | tsuctly. My poor Robert!' Rouleta- bine whispered in my ear:
 If we only knew what was being | said in that chamber my inquiry would 1 soon be Finished"

If we can't hear we may at least try to sec" said Rouletabille. And. making sign to me to deaden the sound of my steps. he led mo across the path to the trunk of tall beech tree. the white bole of which was visible in the darkness. This tree grew exactly in front of the win. dow in which we were so much inter. ested. It's lower branches being on d
 level with the first floor of the cha

 branches one might certainly see what
 was passing in Mile. Stangerson' chamber. Evidently that was what Rouletabille thought, for. enjoining me to remain hidden. he clasped the trunk with his vigorous arms and climbed up. l soon lost sight of him amid the branches. and then followed deep silence.
