The next day found Xavier more
peevish than usual. I pretended not
to notice this. and when his brougham
drove us to the Place valois. I said:
"Xavier. I have invited you to an
odd performance. Promise me to
keep your nerves under control. and

Yes. Xavier" I cried; you are

Poor Xavier. who. Of course, did not

As I alighted at voisin's a brougham

We arranged to meet the following

promised to come. too.
"She is wonderful" remarked Bots

"No; I know OF her" And with that
I wished him goodnight.
When I called at the Rue Bleue.
Germaine was sitting In a listless at
titude on the sofa. Boissier was as
boisterous as ever.
"Come on, Pythonissa," he shouted
to the girl: mount your tripos; our
friend Martin Is in hurry" 4
Germaine sat down at the table,
placed piece of paper In front OF her,
took up q pencil. and looked at me
from the corners OF her eyes. while
Boissier held his hands over her head.

sition, he beckoned to me to come

The banns of xavier's marriage
were to be published on the 18th; It
was already the 9Th, and shuddered
when I thought how little time was
left to me to sift this business.
I went home and traced my plan.
The Investigations I had to make
would take me away from Paris fully
three days; and there remained. there
fore. only another three days to put
into execution the scheme which
trusted would bring everything to
light.
During my absence. I had Boissier
and Germaine watched. On my re-
turn learned that the latter had met
Xavier twice, but otherwise had not
called anywhere nor received visitors,
with the exception of Boissier. who
had gone to her house and stayed
there half an hour.
Boissier, on the other hand. had
been very busy. He had met Xavier
every day; he had spent an evening
at Mile. Clementine's private resi-
dence at Suresnes. He had also been
sssn in earnest conversation with two
ladies'. who proved to be connected
with Clementine's establishment.
Moreover. he had dined with an indi.
vidual called Riviere, who occupied q
bedroom above Boissier's apartment.
This Riviere had once been arrested
on q charge Of embezzlement, but had
been discharged.
My scheme was not only q risky
one, but needed elaborate preparation.
started early by calling on q bach
elor friend. and obtained his permits

Place Valois for the following after
noon. At my request. he also instruct
ed his housekeeper. an elderly woman,
to place herself at my disposal. From
there went to Xavier.

said; II will call for you at two
o'clock"

AIMS TO PERPETUATE
BUFFALO IN OREGON

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 16!Gword has
been received in Chicago of a project
by Stewart Patterson TO stock the
ranch on which he has been living for
almost a year near Medford, Ore,
with buffalo and perpetuate the one
time king OF the plains. Mr.. Patter-
son is we'll known in Chicago. being
son of John c. Patterson, of River
side, and q nephew of the late Robert
and Raymond Patterson. Recently he
and a sister, Mrs. Helen Johnson, OF
Winnetka, sued for possession OF the
Stewart building. North State and
Washington-sts., as heirs of the Stew
art estate.
At the residence OF his father today
II was said that Mr.. Patterson had
gone west for his health and pur-
chased a fruit ranch as a home for
himself and family. A clipping for
wsrded from a Medford newspaper
describes part OF the extension
ranch as wooded. with abundance OF
pasture and water. 1t says Mr.. Patter-
son, always a great advocate OF pre-
serving the faunae of this country"
will cooperate with the American
Bison society and secure his animals
from the Corbin bison park In New
Hampshire.
Il am much interested In bison re-
search. and am trying to get a few
animals in the way OF an experiment"
Mr.. Patterson is quoted as saying. IF
they thrive In this climate the herd,
OF course, will be increased I we'll
remember the time when my native
Illinots prafries were coyered with
these majestic animals. and II has al
ways been a great personal regret
that they have dwindled TO only an
occasional laprobe, or the lifeless or
nament OF a hunting lodge"
