 Did you happen to see the person who threw this thing? continued M Paul gently. 'No, but I saw his arm.'
 Coquenil gave start of satisfaction His arm. Then man threw it?"
 "Oh, yes; saw his black coat sleeve and his white cuff quite plainly"
 Do you remember the window from which he threw this object?" The detective looked at her anxiously
 "Yes. indeed; it is easy to remember It's the end window on the first floor of the hotel Therev' Coquenl felt a thrill of excitement. for, unless he had misunderstood the commissary's diagram, the seamstress was pointing not to private room No. 6, but to private room No. z!
 "Lucienr' he called, and, taking his friend aside. he asked. Does that end window on the first floor belong to No. 6 or No. TT
 No. T."
 And the window next to it?"
 "No. G."
 Thanks! Just a moment" and he rejoined the seamstress. But one point is not quite clear" he said Just look across again. You see two open windows-the end window and the one next to it. Isn't it possible that this bright thing was thrown from the win dow next to the end one?"
 "No, nor
 "They are both alike and, both being open, one might easily make a mis- take"
 She shook her head positively. II have made no mistake; it was the end window"
 Just then Coquenil heard the click of the door opposite and looking over, he saw Papa Tignol beckoning to him.
 Excuse me" he said and hurried ycross the street.
 Its there," whispered Tignol.
 '"The pistol?"
 "Yes"
 "You remember what l told youw
 The old man looked hurt. "Of course 1 did. I haven't touched it. Nothing could make me touch It."
 Again Coquenil rejoined the seam- stress. "Thanks, my good woman," he said. "Now go right back to your room and don't breathe word of this to any one"
 A few moments later Coquenil and the commissary and Papa Tignol were standing in the courtyard near two green tubs of foliage plants between which the pistol had fallen. The door keeper of the house had joined them.

 Straight across the pavement darted Caesar then along the opposite side walk away from the Champs Elysees, running easily, nose down. past the Rue Francois Premier, past the Rue Clement-Marot, then out into the street again and stopping suddenly.
 There's where your murderer picked up cab," said the detective. It's perfectly clear No one has touched that pistol since the man who used it threw it from the window Back Cae- sarv' he called
 Obediently the dog trotted back along the trail, recrossing the street where he had crossed it before and presently reaching the point where he had first caught the scent. Here he stopped, waiting for orders, eying NJ. Paul with almost speaking intelligence.
 Caesar growled impaticntly, strain ing toward the scent.
 He knows there's work to be done, and he's right" Then quickly he gave the word again, and once more Caesar was away, darting back along the side walk toward the Champs Elysees. moving nearer and nearer to the houses and presently stopping at a gateway, against which he pressed and whined. It was gateway in the wall surround ing the Ansonia hotel.

 As far as that back wall. Poor Gibelin! He never thought of looking on the other side of it. Eh, ehr'
 Coqueni breathed more freely. "We may be all right yet An, yes" he cried, going quickly to this back wall where the alleyway turned to the right along the rear of the hotel.

 "The door that leads to No. 7?"
 "Yes."
