The detective eiss.
 not in prison"
 Not in prison?''
 He was set at liberty about-about o'clock this morning." The old man scratched his head in perplexity. T didn't know anybody was too important to be tried for mur- ter"
 "He can't be tried until he's com mitted for trial by judge"
 Well? And Hauteville?"
 Because Hautevill has been remov- ed from office."
 "Wha-at?"
 His commission was revoked this morning by order of the minister of Justice"
 Coqueni nodded and then added sor- rowfully: And you. too. my poor friend Every one who has had any thing to do with this case, from the highest to the lowest, will suffer-"
 "Whe-ew He must be a senator or-or something like that?" Ah uNh odAu SOQuCuli
 Coquenil pointed to his table, where book lay open Do you see that red book? It's the Annuaire de la No blesse Francaise. You'll find his name there-marked with pencil"
 Tigno glanced at the printed page. and there came over his face an ex- pression of utter amazement
 Tt isn't possibler he cried.
 Then slowly in awestruck tones the old man read from the great authority on French titles: Baron Felix Raoul de Heidelmann- Bruck. only son of the Baron Georges Raoul de Heidelmann- Bruck upon whom the title was conferred for industrial ac- i tivities under the second empire. B. Jan, l9. 1863 Lieutenant in the Forty-fifth cuirassiers now retired. Has extensive iron and steel works near St. Etienne; also naval construction yards at Brest.

 You see, it's all there." said NJ. Paul. His name is Raoul and his wife's name was Margaret. She died in the charity bazaar Are, and his stepdaughter Mary is put down as having died there too. We know where she is"
 This will rip things wide, wide open" said Tignol.
 The detective shook his head. Tt won't rip anything open. How can prove 1t? The courts are closed against me. And even if they weren't do you suppose it would be possible to convict the Baron de Heidelmann-Bruck of any crime? Nonsense! He's the most powerful man in France. He controls the banks. the bourse. the government. He can cause a money panic by lifting his hand. He can upset the ministry by word over the telephone" Coquenil lighted a cigarette and breathed in the smoke deeply. 'Papa Tignol." he said. "i am through with this case" Tignol bounded to his feet. and his little eyes flashed indignantly. "l don't believe itv' he cried. "I won't have it! You can't tell me Paul Coquenil is | afraid. Are you afraidT 'T don't think SO"
 And Paul Coquenil can't be bought, can he?"
 II hope not"
 NJ. Paul felt in his coat pocket and drew out folded telegram. Read that. old friend" he answered with emotion.
 Slowly Tignol read M Paul Coquenil, Villa Montmorency' Paris: House and barn destroyed by in- cendiary fire in night. Your mother saved. but seriously injured. M. Abel says in- surance policy had lapsed. Come at once. ERNESTINE.
 "Quel malheur! Quel malheur!' ex- claimed the old man. And you-you think it's his doing?'
 "Of course. They had warned me. they had killed my dog, and-and now they have struck at my mother" He bent down his head on his hands. She's all I've got, Tignol; she's seven ty years old and infirm. and-no. no. quit, I'm through!
 And the insurance? Tignol asked presently. What does that meanr
 'I sent the renewal money to this lawyer Abel" answered Coquenil in
