CHAPTER XVI.
Children Remember Faces.

r EON LAROCHE, the man whom
Dufreny had arrested in Mother
Aygalene's shop, had previous to
the two murders Of the Pont de
Neuilly been accused OF robbing his en-
ployer Of q considerable sum of money.
It was on account OF this affair that he
had been in hiding, for the evidence
against him had accumulated and he
saw no possible way of proving his in
nocence.
For some weeks he had been waiting
and now to the already grave charge
of robbery he was accused of murder
Ing Chauffard. the money lender.
Lsroche had suffered physically and
dition when taken to prison. A few
days after his arrest he was taken i'll
with brain fever and sent to the prison
infirmary. In his delirium he talked
to be called "Georgina." or "Cieorgette."
and. the other they could scarcely dis

MN. de Monteiberg and Narmod, the
Judges in charge Of the two cases were
beginning to despair of clearing the
mystery; but not so NJ. Cardec; he saw
to various deductions based on circum-
stances in which Dufreny had played
an active part. made him hopeful OF
laying bare the truth. The police no
longer believed that the Apache and his
companion Josephine had murdered the
architect; these two prisoners were now
charged with the robbery only.
Dufreny worked indefatigably. The
chief of the Surete had placed everE
confidence in him. and~.he was determined
to succeed.
He felt that the young cir, whom he
had dragged out of the Canal Saint
Martin had somo mystery in her life
which might interest him. At first he
had been worried as to what he should
do with her.
The watchman, Jean Francois. told
him that he took his meals at the home
of an old laundress. who lived at a
little distance with her two little grand
children. and that he would take the
Young girl there, and the old lady would
look after her for a few days. Dufreny
thought this was a good idea he was
interested in Marie, and he did not want
20 let her out of his sight: but. apart
from a professional interest, he felt the
interest that anyone would feel In a
person whom he had snatched from
death.
so it was arranged that the old watch
man should take Marie to Mother Bav-
erals the laundress; but they would
have to wait until daylight. When Du-
frenzy left the barge that night he gave
tha old man ten francs to give to the
Iaundress to buy the necessaries for the
young girl.
