whether Groener was really uncon-
scious of impending danger. Was he
deceived by this Matthew disguise? or
was it possible, could 1t be possible,
that he was what he appeared to be, a
simple-minded wood carver free from
any wickedness or duplicity? No, no,
it was marvellous acting, an extraor-
binary makeup, but this was his man,
all right. There was the long little
finger, plainly visible, the identical
finger of his seventeenth century cast.
Yes, this was the enemy, the murderer,
delivered into his hands through some
unaccountaple fortune, and now to be
watched like precious prey, n pres
emily to be taken and delivered over TO
justice. 1t seemed too good to be true,
too easy, yet there was the man before
him, and despite his habit of caution
and his knowledge that this was no
ordinary adversary, the detective
thrilled as over u victory already won.
The wood carver went on to express
delight at being back in Paris, where
his work would keep him three or -four
days. Business was brisk, thank
heaven, with an extraordinary demand
for old sideboards with carved panels
Of the Louis XIV. period, which they
turned out by the dozen, ha, ha. hal
in the Brussels shop. He described
with gusto and with evident inside
knowledge how they got the worm holes
in these panels by shooting fine shot
into them and the old appearance by
burying them iE the ground. Then he
told how they distributed the finished
s%ldoboards among farmhouses In vari-
Gus parts of Belgium and Holland and
France, where they were left TO be dig
covered" ha, hn, ha! by rich collectors
glad to pay big prices to the simple
minded farmers. working on commits
sion, who had inherited these treas
ures from their ancestors.
Across the table Matthew. with
Rrinning yellow teeth. showed his APP
probation of this trick i'll art catering.
and presently. hon the coffee was
served. he made bold to ask M. Groener
if there would be any chance for a man
like himself III a Woodworking shop.
He was strong and willing and--his
present job at Notre Dame was only
for q few'days. Papa Bonneton nearly
choked over his demi-tasse as he lis-
tened to this plea. but the wood carver
took it seriously.
"TH help y1u with pleasure he said:

red and not too clean, with several
broken nails and calloused places. In
a word. he looked the wood carver,
every inch of him, n the detective
was forced to admit that, If this was
a disguise, 1t was the most admirable
one he had ever seen. If this beard and
hair and mustacho were false. then
his wi makeup, the best he had ever
created, was a poor thing in compare
son.
During tho meal Groener talked free
ly, speaking with a slight Belgian ac-
cent, but fiuently enough. He seemed
to have a naive spirit of drollery, and
he related quite amuslngly an expe-
rience of his railway journey.
You see," he laughed, showing
strong white teeth, there were two
American girls in one compartment
and a newly married couple in the next
one, with a little glass window be-
tween. Well, the young bridegroom
wanted to kiss his bride, naturally. ha,
ha. 1t was a good chance, for they
were alone, but he was afraid some
one might look through the little win
dow II see him, so he kept
looking through it himself to
mako sure it was all right.
Well, the American girls got scared
seeing q mans face peeking at them
like that, so n Of them caught hold
of a cord just above the window and
pulled it down. She thought 1t was a
curtain cord; she wanted to cover the
window so the man couldn't sec
through. Do / make myself compre-
hensible, NJ. Matthew He looked
straight 1t CoqueniI.
Perfectly smiled the latter.
We'll, it wasn't q curtain cord on

relish OF the joke, st was the emer-
gency signal, which, by the regulations,
must only be used in great danger, SO
the first thing we knew the train drew
UP with a terrible jerk, and there was
a great shouting and opening of doors
and rushing about of officials, and
finally, ha, hal they discovered that the
Brussels express had been stopped, ha,
ha, ha! because q bashful young fellow
wanted TO kiss his girl"
M. Paul marveled at h mans self
possession. Not q ton or a glance OF
a muscle betrayed him, he was per-
fectly at ease, ibuoyantiy satisfied. one
would say, wish himself and all tho
world-in short. he suggested nothing
so little as "a close-tracked assassin.

The wood Carver.

A DETECTIVE, like an actor or a
"a soldier, must go on fighting and
playing his part, regardless OF
personal feelings. Sorrow brings him
no reprieve from duty, sc the next
morning after the last sad offices for
poor Caesar, Coquenil faced the emer-
gency before him with steady nerve
and calm resolution. There was an
assassin to be brought to justice, and
the time for action had come. This
was, perhaps, the most momentous day
Of his whole career.
Up to the very hour OF luncheon NJ.
Paul doubted whether the wood carver
would keep his appointment at the
Bonnetons. Why should he take such
a risk? Why walk deliberately into q
trap that he must suspect? 1t was
true, Coquenil remembered with cha
grin, that this man, II he really was
the man, had once before walked into
a trap (there on the Champs Elysees)
and had then walked calmly out again;
but this time the detective promised
himself things should happen differ
emily. His precautions were taken, and
IL Groener came within his clutches to-
day, he would have a lively time get
ting out of them. There was a score
to be settled between them, O. heavy
score. and-let tho wood carver be-
ware!
The wood carver kept his appoint
ment. More than that, he seemed
In excellent spirits, n as he sat down
to Mother Bonneton's modest luncheon
no nodded good -naturedly TO Matthew,
the substitute Waterman, whom the
saoristah introduced, not too awk-
wardly, then he fell to eating with a
heavy appetite and without any sign
of embarrassment or suspicion.
IT'S q strong Hame he's playing
reflected the detective, 'but he's going
to lose"
Tho wood carver appeared to be q
man approaching 40, of medium height
and stocky build, the embodiment of
good health and good humor. His
round, fiorid face was free from lines,
his gray eyes were clear and friendly.
He had thick, brown hair, a short,
yellowish mustache, and a close-cut,
brownish beard. He was dressed like
Z superior w~orkingman, in a flannel
shirt. a rough, blue suit, oii-stained and

ecent, moving carefully among the
trees, and once or twice losing the trail
but quickly finding it again, and, pres
emily, as he reached more open ground,
running ahead swiftly, straight toward
the coaching party.
In a flash Coquenil realized the dan
ger and called loudly to the dog, but
the distance was too great, and his
voice was drowned by the cries OF
ladies on the break, who, seeing the
bounding animal. screamed their fright,
and no wonder, for this powerful, close
clipped creature, in his sudden rush
looked like some formidable beast OF
prey; even the men started up in
alarm.
"Caesarl" shouted NJ. Paul, but II
was too late. The dog was flying full
at the break, eyes fixed. body tense;
now he was gathering strength to
spring, and now, with a splendid effort.
he was actually hurting himself
through the air, when among the con-
fused figures on the coach a man
leaned forward suddenly. and some-
thing flashed in his hand. There was
a feather of smoke, a sharp report, and
then. with a stab of pain, Coquenil saw

still.
MY dog, my dogi" he cried. and
coming up to the stricken creature, he
knelt beside him with ashen face.
One glance showed there was moth
ing to be done, the bullet had crashed
into the broad breast in front Of the
left shoulder and-it was all over with
Caesar.
MY friend, my dear old friendl'
murmured NJ. Paul in broken tones.
and he took the poor head in his arms.
At the masters voice Caesar opened
his beautiful eyes weakly. In a last
pitiful appeal, then the lids closed.
You cowards!" flung out the heart
sick a You have killed my dog!"
at was your own fault" said one of
the gentlemen coldly. you had no
business to leave q dangerous animal
like that at liberty
NJ. Paul did not speak or move; he
was thinking bitterly of Alicc's pre-
sentiment.
Then some n on the break said
I'VE had better move along. hadn't
We. Raoul?"
Yes" agreed another. What q
beastly borei'
And q few moments later. with clank-
ing harness and sounding horn. the gay
party rolled away.
Coquenil sat silent by his Cog.

Women Who Camp Out

CVERY winter more and morew women are going north to camp in the
4 = pine woods and to hunt moose ad deer during the snowy season.
This is not SO much of a handicap as it sounds. n the first place

ANogether it was a pleasing picture,
and C%oquenil's interest was heightened
when he overheard a passing couple
say that these were the guests of nc
less a person than the Duke OF Mon
treuii, whose lavish entertainments
were the talk of Paris. There he was,
on the break, this favorite of fortune!
