managers mood had undergone a dis
and to convey the fact that this
change was due not only to the fall
Of the chandelier on the famous night
Of the gala performance.
The reader must know that the
ghost had calmly been paid his first
twenty thousand francs. Oh, there
had been wailing and gnashing OF
teeth, indeed! And yet the thing had
happened as simple as could be.
One morning. the managers found
on their table an envelope addressed

companied by a note from o. q. him.

The time has come to carry out the
clause in the memorandum book. Please
put twenty notes of a thousand francs
each into this envelope. seal It with your
own seal and hand it to Nine. Giry. who
will do what ig necessary
The managers did not hesitate;
without wasting time in asking how
these confounded communications
came to be delivered in an office
which they were careful to keep
locked, they seized this opportunity
of laying hands on the mysterious
blackmailer. And. after telling the

"You don't mean to say SO! Let US

And M. Mifroid, followed by an ever
increasing crowd. turned toward the
business side OF the building. Mer-.

to slip key into Gabriel's hand:

crecy. to Gabriel and Mercier, they
put the twenty thousand francs into
the envelope and without asking for
explanations. handed It to Nine. Giry,
who had been reinstated in her func.
tions. The box-keeper displayed no
establishment. need hardly say that
she was well watched. She went
straight to the ghosts box and placed
the precious envelope on the little
shelf attached to the ledge. The two
managers. as well as Gabriel and Mer-
cier. were hidden In such q way that
they did not lose sight OF the en-
velope for second during the per-
formance and even afterward, for, as
the envelope had not moved, those
who watched It did not move either;
and Nine. Giry went away while the
managers. Gabriel and Mercier were
still there. At last. they became tired
OF waiting and opened the envelope.

not been broken
At first sight, Richard and Mon.

that they were not the same. The
twenty real notes were gone and had
been replaced by twenty notes OF tho

And the note was accompanied by
the usual envelope. They had only to
insert the notes.
This was done about half an hour
before the curtain rose on the first
act of Faust Richard showed the en-
velope to Moncharmin. Then he count
