Once more the eager animal sprang

after a few yards and stand scratch

the detective spoke to Tignol: II want

best you can take. Use glycerin with

this one, and these two, and this. and

The alleyway door stood open, and,
using his lantern with the utmost care,
Coquenil went first, mounting the
stairs slowly. followed by Gritz. AT
the top they came to a narrow landing
and a closed door.

"It is always locked"

Coquenil, trying the knob. Then, flash

"No," sighed the other.
Coquenil thought a moment; then hi
produced the pistol found in the court
yard and examined it with extreme
care; then he unlocked the corridor
door and looked out. The policeman
was still on guard before No. 6.
II shall want to go in there shortly
said the detective.
Gritz hesitated a moment, and then
with an a%pprehensive look in his beady
eyes, he said, $50 you're going il

into the street. He couldn't have gone

He might have gone into the corri-

objected Tignol.
Coquenil shook his head. "He could
have locked the door after him on the
outside, not on the inside, but when
we came in here it was locked on the
inside"
Then how, in heavens name'-
Exactly! How could a man in this
room Kill a man in the next room?

Between these rooms is a solid wood

IN there is dead; we're sure of that.
The pistol was here; the bullet went
there-somehow. How did it go there?
Think"
The detective paused and looked fix
edly at the wall near the heavy side
board. Tignol, half fascinated, stared
at the same spot, and then, as a new
idea took form in his brain, he blurt-
ed out, "You mean it went through

Of that sideboard."
But M. Paul disagreed. "No man

plates and glasses. Besides, if the

would be marks on the floor, and there
are none. Now you understand why

Your hooking me; you've looked

Coquenil shook his head solemnly.
ION my honor, l have not been near

picture, but unless there is some flaw
in my reasoning
The old man stepped forward quick
ly and took down the picture.
"Tonnere de Dieu!" he cried. 'It's
true! There are two holes"
Sure enough. against the white wall
stood out not n but two black holes
about an inch in diameter and some.
thing less than three inches apart.
Around the left hole. which was close
to the sideboard. were black dots
sprinkled over the painted woodwork
like grains of pepper.

Caesar had stopped with a little whine
and was half crouching at the edge Of
the sidewalk, head low, eyes fercely

The dog turned with quick, joyous
barks.

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, hen out into the street
again and stopping suddenly.
There's where your murderer picked
up a 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 Gaze
sar!w 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.
Caesar growled impatiently, 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 a gateway in the wall surround
ing the Ansonia hotel.
"The man came out here" declared
C%oquenil, and, unlatching the gate, he
looked inside, the dog pushing after
him.
"This is what you call the alleyway?"
questioned Coquenil.

Papa Tignol explained s~hamefacedly.
"We did it looking for the pistol; it

never get a clean print in this mess.
But wait! How far along the alley
way did you look"
"As far as that back wall. Poor
Gibelin! He thought Of looking
on the other side Of it. Eth, chi"
Coquenil breathed more freely. "We
may be all right yet. All, yes" he
cried, going quickly to this back wall
where the alleyway turned to the right

threw his white light before him and,
with a start Of satisfaction. pointed to

THE WALL,

1T1HE 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. 1t was just as the COM
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 a chair.
"By the way" he asked, what do
you think of that?" He pointed to a
Japanese print in a black frame that
hung near the massive sideboard.
"Why." stammered Tignol, Ill don't
think anything Of it."
Coquenil laughed. "All the same, it
has a bearing on your Investigations"
"Diable!"
M. Paul reached for his glasses, rub
bed them deliberately and put them

"Wha-at?"
II 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. Z,
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

chap! That's how he was shot in the
eye"
"Asses! Idiots! That's what we
are" muttered the old man. "For half
an hour we were in that room, Gibe-
lin and I, and we never found those
holes"
"They were covered by the sofa

thing but look behind them. See here!
Did you look behind themw
"No, but I saw something on the
foor-some yellowish dust. There!'
He unfolded a paper and showed a
few grains Of coarse brownish pow
der. "You see, there are only board
partitions between these rooms. so q
sharp auger would make the holes
quickly. But there would be dust and
chips. The woman probably threw
the chips out Of the window"
1.-THE woman!"
Coquenil nodded. "She helped Mar
tinez while he bored the holes"
you think Martinez bored those
holes?"
Undoubtedly. The spirals from
the auger blade inside the holes show
plainly that the boring was done from
No. 6 toward No. T."
Tignol studied the hole. Then he
turned. you're a fine detective, M.
Paul, but I was a carpenter for six
years before I went OF the force, and
I know more about auger holes than
you do. I say you can't be sure which
side of the wall this hole was bored
from. You talk about spirals, but
there's no sense in that. They're the
same either way. Well see on the
other SIDE"
They went around into No. 6. The
old man drew back the sofa hangings
and exposed two notes.-the same
holes. "You see," he went on, "the
