"And she crept up to her room.
1--WE then searched the house from
top to bottom, but the fellow had dis
appeared. We are certain he is hid
den somewhere. But where? Fabre
thinks there must be a subterranean
passage leading into the fields be-
yond, and I am inclined to think so
too. That funny-looking well ought
to be examined. 1 left the other men
there. We want your help, sir"
jumped into a cab with my secre-
tary, and drove straight to Sallys
house. Inspector Berard was outside,
and informed me that the woman was
really i'll, and that some one had gone
to fetch medical help.
I made thorough investigation of
the place, my men following my move
ment with curiosity. / went down the
dried-up well, and saw that the old
stones, firmly cemented together, had
not been moved for a century. /
tapped all the floors and walls, but
found no trace Of any secret passage.
amy clue, sir?" asked Berard.
Eyes. Robert has been caught in
his own trap, and cannot get away.
And now l shall pay visit to Sally"
The room entered was in terribly
untidy state. The floor, chairs, and
tables were Uttered with articles of
the most heterogeneous description,
and a strong smell of spirits pervaded
the place Sally was sitting up in bed,
her head propped up with pillows.
When she saw me, she shook her fist
at me and said in an angry tone:
what do you want? Don't bother
me about, Robert. He is gone away,
thank heaveni and. what's more, i
don't want him back. And now leave
me alone. I'm I'LL"
"I am sorry to disturb you," said,
"but bring you news from your broth
ed. He is here. Quite close to u.s."
Sally bent forward, clenching an old
handkerchief with which she had wip-
ing her forehead.
where do you say he Isl" she
gasped.

J HE is lying in this bed, looking me
straight in the face"
| you are mad. Do you think l am
Robert?"
"Oh, no. / always know a lady
when see her. l should be sorry to
doubt your sex. But, although you
are Mile. Hortense Perrichon. you
also are your own brother, or, rather.
you have impersonated him. Is that
clear?"
A knock fell on the door. 1t was
the doctor, and / withdrew to the gar
den, after having asked him to signal
to me the moment he had done with
the woman.
My secretary was pacing the gar
den up and down.
"You allowed yourself to be nicely
bluffed,' 1 said to him. YES l cou-
tinued, this woman bluffed you, and
others as well. In the annals OF
crime it certainly is a record case.
| Her brother did not return to this
country, and, l dare say, died years
ago. Sally performed a stroke of
genius, coming to my office claiming
my protection against him. With her
short hair and wonderful likeness to
him, she put on mans clothes, and
then waited until l was away from
Paris before calling at the office and
introducing herself to you as Robert.
You never thought that the gentleman
who came to see you was Sally!
"Once Roberts existence was es-
tablished, Sally knew she could with
| schemes, and change her sex the mo-
ment things became threatening. 1t
was she who blackmailed that un-
fortunate M. F..
when Berard came to me this
morning and related that wonderful
story of Roberts ghostly appearance,
began to have an inkling of the
truth. 1 do not believe in secret pas
sages nor in miracles"
The doctor here called me and said
that the woman was seriously ill, and
ordered her immediate removal to
the Infirmary of the Depot X. (the
Central Police Station)
Before going away she beckoned to
me and whispered in my ear:
"The game is up. You found me
out. Good-by."
They were the last words | heard
her speak.
After she had gone l ransacked her
room, and from the most impossible
hiding-places brought to light securi-
ties, money, jewelry, mems clothes OF
every description. Among her CORE
spondence I found several letters of
M F.; also a document relative to
the death of Robert, three years be-
FORE
Sally had been struck down with
enteric fever When she recovered,
the doctors declared that her mind
was affected and that she could not
be put on her trial. She was trans
ferred to the ST Anne's Asylum,
where she died hopelessly insane.
Curiously enough, there are still
people who, having known Sally, re-
fuse to believe she alone carried out
such a bold scheme. They are con-
WINGED that Robert was not myth at
the time, and that he and his sister
had been plotting together.

Story of the Mikado.

An example of the late mfkado's
self-sacrificing patriotism in smaN
matters as we'll as in large is furnish
ed by Mr.. Yone Naguche in an article
In the London Graphic. 1t was dur
ing the time of the fourth parliament
recently opened, when the matter Of
economy in the governments expendi-
ture and the general cutting down of
the official salaries was much talked
up
The late Prince Ito appeared to sub
nit the case, and the mikado asked
him why there was nothing said
about curtailing the expenses of the
imperial household He declared.
"You have to cut off the palace ex-
penditure first and the rest will fol.
low During the Russo-Japanese war
the mikado forbade making fire for
heating purposes only because he
wished to share the winters cold with
the soldiers on Manchurian battle
fields. and the same summer he did
not allow vacations either - himself
or TO the home officials.

later saw him at one of the windows
in his shirt-sleeves, so l gathered he
lived there. I at once asked for a
room for myself, and managed to Sc

His name, discovered, is Charles La

when near the Boulevard Ney got
down and walked toward the Rue
Rousseau. 1t is dark street, or I
could not have followed him. At the
end of the street, where a house is
being built, saw him climb over the
palings, looking for something or
somebody. He remained there for
the way he came
Yesterday he rose late, spent the
greater part Of the afternoon in the
cafe where you pointed him out to
me; and, the moment darkness had
set in again, took up his position be-
hind the palings in the Rue Rousseau
Il was beginning to wonder what it
all meant, when 1 saw woman walk
down the street at a brisk pace. She
was about couple of yards from the
place where I was hiding. At that
moment Latouche rushed up to her.
and, Selling her roughly by both arms,
called out: I've caught you at last,
you beauty But with a quick move
ment she shook him of, and turned on
him like a tigress. At the same time

The first fire within memory oc-
Cured at the Bank of England, Lon

out in the southeastern portion OF
