the commissary brought out several
important facts. The waiter testified
that after serving soup to Martinez
and the lady he had not left the corri-
dor outside the door Of No. 6 until the
moment when he entered the room and
discovered the crime. During this in
terval of perhaps a quarter of an hour
he had moved down the corridor a
short distance, but not farther than
the door Of No. 4. He was sure Of this,
because me of the doors to the ban
quet room was just opposite the door
of No. 4, and he had stood there listen
ing to a Fourth of July speaker who
was discussing the relations between
France and America.

She simply brought together two facts
that belong together. Why she did it
doesn't matter; she did it, and my rea-
son did the rest. There is a come
ton between this Rio de Janeiro offer
and my discharge from the force. I
know it I'll show you other links in
the chain. Three times in the past
two years 1 have received offers Of
business positions away from Paris.
tempting offers. Notice that-business
positions away from Paris! Some one
has extraordinary reasons for wanting
me out Of this city and out of detec-
tive work."
"And you think this some one was
responsible for your discharge from
the force?"
II tell you l know 1t. M. Giroux,
the chief at that time, was distressed
at the order-he told me so himself;
he said it came from higher up"
The commissary raised 1ncredulous
eyebrows. You mean that Paris has
a criminal able to override the wishes
Of a chief Of police?"
"Is that harder than to influence the
Brazilian government? Do you think
Rio de Janeiro offered me a hundred
thousand francs a year just for my
beautiful eyes""
you're a great detective"
IA great detective repudiated by his
W city. That's another point. Why
should the police department discharge
me two years ago and recommend me
now to a foreign city? Don't you see
the same hand behind it all?'
"It's queer" Pougeot muttered. But
you think some great crime is pre-
paring"
Don't you?" asked; Coquenil abrupt
ly.
"Why-er"- hesitated the other.
Look at the facts again. Some one
wants me off the detective force, out
Of France. Why? There can be only
one reason"
And when-when do you think this
crime may be committed?"
"Who can say? There must be great
urgency to account for their insisting
that l sail tomorrow. All, you didn't
know that? Yes. even now, at this very
moment, l am supposed to be on the
steamer train, for the boat goes out
early in the morning before the Paris
papers can reach Cherbourg."
M. Pougeot started up, his eyes wild
ening. What" he cried. You mean
that-that possibly-tonight?"
And then came one Of the strange
condolences Of this extraordinary case.
On the silence Of this room, with it's
tension of overweight emotion, broke
the sharp summons Of the telephone.
MY God!" shivered the commissary.
"What is that?" M. Pougeot aroused
himself with an effort. He put the
receiver to his ear. Yes. this is M.
Pougeot. What? The Ansonia? You
say he's shot? In a private dining
room? Dead? Quel malheur!" Then
he gave quick orders. Send Papa
Tignol over with a doctor and three or
four agents. Close the restaurant.
Don't let any one go in or out Don't
let any one leave the banquet room.
I'll be there in twenty minutes. Good

At the &C. o. ID. mine. under bond
to mclaughlin and Boyle. a rich
strike was made several days ago on
the 100 foot level of the new shaft
when a foot of ore was cut, assaying
about $500 a ton. The new discov-
cry was made in a drift about 400
feet west from the old workings. and

to be an extension of the old ore

fortunes are the result of the industry
and personal efforts of the possessors.
Nearly all Of them are due to special
privileges secured al the expense of
the general public. Ey this we do not
mean that American moneyed men are
bunch of grafters, or that the privi-
leges were secured by unjust means,
or that moral wrong was committed in
taking advantage of them 1t isnot
our milionaires but the general public
that is to blame for the condition, as
a rule. Of course, there are excep-
tions; we have had fairly plentiful
crop of land grabbers, franchise grab
bers, and grabbers of good things in
general, but the essentially corrupt
and immoral money maker is the ex-
ception and not the rule.
For illustration, many of the large
American fortunes were acqirued
through the fact that the so-called
makers secured immensely valuable for
GSCS, IIlIIlSS anu w dLSL pOWCIo dG a IttIIC-
ulously low price. According to accept
ed standard of morality, it was not
wrong for these men to take advantage
of the opportunities offered, but it was
foolish and wrong for the people to law
ishly give away natural resources. 1t
was not the honesty, sobriety, industry
or loyalty of these men that made
them rich; it was partly luck, but large
ly foresightedness, combined with
shortsightedness on the part of our
legislators.
While the recipe is good as far as it
goes, it fails utterly to give the real
secret of the making of large fortunes
1t is very likely that this secret could
be explained, and if it could, it is I'M
likely that the millionaires possessing
it would care to impart it to the gener-
al public.
