 In an instant Caesar was out in the Rue Marboeuf, circling again and again in larger and larger arcs, as he had been taught.
 'EIt's a hard test,'' muttered Coquenil. Footprints and weapons have lain for hours in a drenching rain, but Ahy' Caesar had stopped with a little whine and was half crouching at the edge of the sidewalk, head low, eyes f1ercely forward, body quivering with excite ment. He's found somethingT'
 The dog turned with quick, joyous parks.
 He's got the scent. Now watch him. and sharply he gave the word, seVa!"
 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 a cab,'' said the detective. "1t'S perfectly clear. No one has touched that pistol since the man who used it threw it from the window. Back Cae- sar!' 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 M. Paul with almost speaking intelligence.

 StHe 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 a gateway in the wall surround ing the Ansonia hotel.
 'sThe man came out here," declared CoqueniI, and, un1atching the gate, he looked inside, the dog pushing after him.
 teThis is what you call the alleyway?'' questioned Coqueni1.
 Exactly
 From the pocket of his coat the de tective drew small electric lantern. the one that had served him so well earlier in the evening, and, touching a switch, he threw upon the ground strong white ray, whereupon confu sion of footprints became visible, as if a number of persons had trod back and forth here.
 stWhat does this mean?'' he cried.
 Papa Tignol explained shamefacedly, 'eWe did it looking for the pistol; it was Gfbelin's orders.''
 .sBon Dieu! What a pity! We can never get a clean print in this mess. Rut watI How far e1nng the alley

Suddenly Co1,44e441l stopped talking abruptly to look at comica1 little man with a large mouth, the owner of the place, who had been lowering about for some moments as if anx- fous to say something
 ssWhat is it, my friend ?' asked Co., nuenn good naturedly.
 At this the proprietor coughed in embarrassment and motioned to a prim, thin faced woman in the front room, who came forward with fdgety shyness, begging the gentlemen to for give her if she had done wrong, but there was something on her conscience, and she couldn't sleep without telling it.
 a<WelI?' broke in Pougeot inpatient 1y, but Coquenu gave the woman a re- assuring look, and she went on to ex- plain that she was a spinster living in a little attic room of the next house overlooking the Rue N1arboeuf. She worked as a seamstress all day in a hot, crowded atelier, and when she came home at night she loved to go out on her balcony She would stand there and brush her hair while she watched the sunset deepen and the swallows circle over the chimney tops.
 4tBut, my dear woman,' smiled Go quen1, what has that to do with me? ? I have very little hair and no time to brush it.''
 The seanastress begged his pardon, The point was that on the previous evening, just as she had nearly finish ed brushing her hair, she suddenly heard a sound like a pistol shot from across the street, and, looking down, she saw glittering object thrown from a window. She saw it distinctly and watched where 1t 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 no longer, and, taking the woman's arm, he hurried her to the door.
 NOW he said, 11show me just where you saw this glittering object thrown over the wal1.''
 There she replied, pointing, ssit lies to the left of that heavy doorway on the courtyard stones. I could see it from my balcony"

 They left the hotel by the main en- trance and were just going around into Rue Marboeuf when the concierge from across the way met them with word that Caesar had arrived.
 Caesar" questioned Gritz.
 f.He's my dog. Ph-h-eet! Ph-eet! An, here he 1872 and out of the shad- ows the splendid animal came bound ing.
 They had entered the courtyard now, and Coquenil led Caesar to the spot where the weapon lay still undisturb- ed.
 'sChercbeP he ordered, and the dog nosed the pistol with concentrated ef- fort Then silently, anxiously, one would say, he darted away, circling the courtyard back and forth, snifdng the ground as he went. pausing oc- casionally or retracing his steps and presently stopping before M. Paul with a little bark of disappointment.
 Nothing, eh? Quite right. Give me the pistol, Papa Tigno1. We'll try out

 s'Dfd you happen to see the person who threw this thing?" continued M. Paul gently.
 E'No, but.I saw his arm.''
 Coquenil gave a start of satisfaction. ttHis arm! Then a man threw it?' "Oh, yes; I saw his black coat sleeve and his white cuff quite plainly"

THROUGH THE WALL.

THROUGH THE WALL.
 @lHE detective entered the room of the tragedy and turned up the lights, all of them, so that
 - he might see whatever was to be seen. He walked back and forth examining the carpet, examining the walls. examining the furniture, but paying little heed to the body. He went to the open window and looked out; he went to the yellow sofa and sat down; finally he shut off the lights and withdrew softly, closing the door behind him. It was just as the conn missary had said with the exception of one thing.
 Papa Tignol entered to say that he had finished the footprint molds. M. Paul motioned his associate to 8 chair.
 By the way" he asked, what do you think of that?' He pointed to a Japanese print in black frame that hung near the massive sideboard.
 Why stammered Tignol, 'sI-I don't think anything of it."
 Coquenil laughed. sAIl the same, it has a bearing on your Investigations. 2 ''DiableY'
 M. Paul reached for his glasses, rub bed them deliberately and put them on. @Papa Tignol,'' he said seriously, HI have come to conclusion about this crime, but I haven't verified it. l am now going to give myself an intellec- tual treat"
 "Wha-at?''
 tT am going to prove practically whether my mind has grown rusty in the last two years. You understand that we are in private room No. 7, don't you? On the other side of that wall is private room No. 6, where a man has just been shot. We know that, don't we? But the man who shot him was in this room; the little hair brushing old maid saw the pistol thrown from this window; the dog found footprints coming from this room; the murderer went out through that door into the alleyway and then into the street. He couldn't have gone
