cNl, for, see, there are no marks of steps leading to the marks left by the boots. which were placed side by side. That accounts for the fact that the murderer left no trace of his steps when he fled from the yellow room, nor any in the laboratory, nor in the vestibule. After entering the yellow room in his boots he took them of, finding them troublesome or because he wished to make as little noise as possible. The marks made by him in going through the vestibule and the laboratory were subsequently washed out by Daddy Jacques. Having for some reason or other taken off his boots, the murderer carried them fin his hand and placed them by the side of the parcel he had made. By that time the robbery had been accomplish ed The man then returned to the yellow room and slipped under the bed, where the mark of his body is perfectly visible on the floor and even on the mat, which has been, slightly moved from its place and creased Fragments of straw also recently torn bear witness to the murderer's movements under the bed"
 "Yes, yes. We know all about that" said M. de Marquet. e
 "The robber had another motive for returning to hide under the bed" con tnued the astonishing boy j&rnalist You might think that he was trying to hide himself quickly on seeing. through the vestibule window. M. and Mile. Stangersos about to enter the pavilion. It would have been much easier for him to have climbed up to the attic and hidden there, waiting for an opportunity to get away, if his purpose had been only flight No, no: He had to be in the yellow room"
 Here the chief intervened.
 "That's not at all bad, yourg ~an compliment you. If we do not know

At that moment the door of the lab. oratory opened. and the officer fin charge of the gendarmes entered and handed card to the examining magis- trate. M. de Marquet read 1t and ut tered half angry exclamation.
 This Is really too much." he cried.
 What is itY asked the chief.
 "1t's the card of young reporter engaged on the Epoque. NJ. Joseph Rouletabille. It has these words writ ten on 1t, "One of the motives of the crime was robbery"
 The chief smiled.
 "Ah. young Rouletabile! I've heard of him. He is considered rather clev- CT. Let him come in."
 NJ. Joseph Rouletabille entered the laboratory. bowed to us and waited for NJ. de Marquet to ask him to ex- plain his presence.
 You pretend. monsieur, that you know the motive for the crime and that that motive-in the face of all the evidence that has been forthcom- ing-was robberyr'
 "No, monsieur: do not pretend that. I do not say that robbery was the mo- tive for the crime, and don't believe 1t was"
 ''Then what is the meaning of this cardT'
 Tt means that robbery was one of the motives for the crime"
 What leads you to think thatg
 'sIf you will be good enough to ac- company me will show you"
 The young man asked us to follow him into the vestibule. and we did. He led us toward the lavatory and begged M. de Marquet to kneel beside him. This lavatory is lit by the glass door, and when the door was open the light which penetrated was sufficient to light 1t perfectly. M. de Marquet and NJ. Joseph Rouletabille knelt down on the threshold. and the young man pointed to spot on the navement

yet how the murderer succeeded in getting away we can at any rate see how he came in and committed the robbery. But what did he stealg'
 Something very valuable" replied the young reporter.
 At that moment we heard a cry from the laboratory. We rushed in and found M. Stangerson, his eyes hag- gard, his limbs trembling. pointing to a sort of bookcase which he had open ed and which we saw was empty. At the same instant he sank into the large armchair that was placed before the desk and groaned, the tears rolling down his cheeks: "I have been robbed again. For Gods sake, do not say a word of this to my daughter! She would be more pained than ann" He heaved deep sigh and added, in a tone shall never forget. "After all, what does it matter-so long as she lives"

into tue park. The concierge closed the window after him and fastened the blinds. which certainly could not have closed and fastened of them selves. That Is the conclusion l have arrived at. If any one here has any other idea let him state it." NJ. Stangerson intervened:
 What you say was impossible. do not believe either in the guilt or F. the connivance of my concicrges. though cannot understand what they | were doing in the park at that late hour of the night. I say 1t was im- | possible, because Mme. Bernier held | the lamp and did not move from the | threshold of the room, because I as soon as the door was forced open threw myself on my knees beside my daughter, and no one could have left or entered the room by the door with ! out passing over her body and fore ing his way by me! Daddy Jacques and the concierge had but to cast a the bed. as had done on entering. to see that there was nobody in it but my daughter lying on the soor."
 What do you think, NJ. Darzac?' asked the magistrate.
 M. Darzac replied that he had no opinion to express. M. Dax. the chief of police, who so far had been listening and examining the room. at length deigned to open his lips:
 While search is being made for the criminal we had better try to find out the motive for the crime. That will advance us d little,' he said. Turning toward Nj Stangerson. he continued in the even. intelligent tone indicative of strong character, T understand that mademoiselle was shortly to have been marriedY"
 The professor looked sadly at NJ. Robert Darzac
 With my friend here, whom l should have been happy to call my son with M Robert Darzac."
 Mile. Stangerson Is much better and is rapidly recovering from her wounds. The marriage is simply de- layed, is 1t not, monsieur?' insisted the chief of police.
 'I hope so.'
 What! Is there any doubt about thaty'
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1909-01-05

M. Stangerson did not answer. N Robert Darzac seemed agitated. saw that his hand trembled as it fingered his watch chain. M. Dax coughed, aa did M. de Marquet. Both were evi. dently embarrassed.
 "You understand, Nj. Stangerson," he said, ''that in an affair so perplexing as this we cannot neglect anything. We must know all, even the smallest and seemingly most futile thing concern. ing the victim. information apparently the most insignificant Why do you doubt that this marriage will take place? You expressed hope, but the hope implies doubt. Why do you doubty'
 NJ. Stangerson made visible effort to recover himself.
 ''Yes. monsieur" he. said at length. "You are right It will be best that you should know something which if concealed 1t might appear to be of im- portance. M. Darzac agrees with ae in this" M. Darzac, whose pallor at that mo- ment seemed to me to be altogether abnormal, made sign of assent. gathered he was unable to speak. "I want you to know, then" contin- ued NJ. Stangerson, "that my daughter has sworn never to leave me and ad- heres firmly to her oath in spite of all my prayers and all that have argued to induce her to marry. We have known NJ. Robert Darzac many years. He loves my child, and believed that she loved him, because she only re- gently consented to thls marriage, which desire with all my heart l am an old man, monsieur, and 1t was happy hour to me when knew that after I had gone she would have at her side one who loved her and who would help her in continuing our com mon labors. I love and esteem M. Darzac both for his greatness of heart and for his devotion to science. But two days before the tragedy, for 1 know not what reason. my daughter declared to me that she would never marry M. Darzac."
 A dead silence followed M. Stanger- sons words. It was a moment fraught with suspense.
 ''Did mademoiselle give you any ex- planation-did she tell you what her motive wasT' asked Nj. Dax
 ''She told me she was too old to mar ry: that she had waited too long. She said she had given much thought to the matter. and while she had/a great esteem. even affection, for M. Darxac she felt 1t would be better if things remained as they were"
 That is very strange" muttered N. Dax.
 Stranger repeated M. de Marquet.
 You'll certainly not find the mo- tive there, NJ. Dax," M. Stangerson said, with cold smile.
 "In any case, the motive was not theft" said the chief impatiently.
 "Oh. we are quite convinced of thatl" exclaimed the examining magis- trate.

~Ine stones of the lavatory have not been washed by Daddy Jacques for some time" he said That can be seen by the layer of dust that covers them. Now notice here the marks of two large footprints and the black ash they left where they have been. That ash is nothing else than the charcoal dust that covers the path along which you must pass through the forest fin order to get directly from Epinay to the Chandler You know there Is a little village of charcoal burners at that place who make large quantities of charcoal. What the murderer did was to come here at midday. when there was nobody at the pavilion, and attempt his robbery"
 But what robbery? Where do you see any signs of robbery? What proves to you that robbery has been com mitted ?' we all cried at once.
 What put me on the trace of it," continued the journalist.
 Was this" interrupted NJ. de Mar q,iet, still on his knees.
 "Evidently." said Rouletabile.
 And M.a de Marquet explained that there were OH the dust of the pave ment marks of two footsteps as well. as the impression, freshly made, of q heavy rectangular parcel. the. marks of the cord with which it had been fastened being easily distinguished.

"Now. then. enough of that snivel- ing" cried M, de Marquet, and in your interest tell us what you were doing under the windows of the pavil- ] ion at the time your mistress was be- ring attacked, for you were clos6 to the pavilion when Daddy Jacques met you"

 If we could only lay hands on the murderer he'd never taste bread againr the woman gurgled between her sobs
 As before, we were unable to get two connecting thoughts out of them. They persisted in their denials and swore by heaven and all the saints that they were in bed when they heard the sound of the revolver shot
 Tt was not one, but two shots, that were fired. You see you are lying. If you bad heard one you would have heard the other"
 Mon Dieu! Monsieur. 1t was the second shot we heard. We were sound asleep when the first shot was fired"
 Two shots were fred" said Daddy Jacques. 'I am certain that ali the cartridges were in my revolver. We found afterward that two had been exploded, and we heard two shots be hind the door. Was not that so, Nj. StangersonT'
 Yes" replied the professor. there were two shots-one dull and the other sharp and ringing"
 Why do you persist in lyingT' cried Nj. de Marquet, turning to the con cierges. Do you think the police are the fools you are? Everything points to the fact that you were out of doors and near the pavilion at the time of the tragedy What were you doing there, So far as l am concerned" he sald. turning to M. Stangerson. Il can only explain the escape of the mur- derer on the assumption of help from these two accomplices. As soon as the door was forced open and while you, M.
