Suddenly Coquelin stopped talking
abruptly to look at a comical little
man with a large mouth, the owner

"What is it, my friend?" asked Co.

At this the proprietor coughed in

prim, thin faced woman in the front

there was something on her conscience,

The seamstress begged his pardon.
The point was that on the previous
evening, just as she had nearly finish

heard a sound like a pistol shot from
across the street, and, looking down,
she saw a glittering object thrown
from a window. She saw it distinctly
and watched where it fell beyond the
high wall that separated the Ansonia
hotel from an adjoining courtyard
She had not thought much about it at
the moment; but, having heard that
something dreadful had happened
Coquenil could contain himself ne
longer, and, taking the woman's arm
he hurried her to the door.
"Now," he said, "show me just where
you saw this glittering object thrown
