the door.

ready started one on the way. but we
can't hear from 1t for six or eight days.
But my guess was right--the fellows
name isn't D'Aurelle.'
"You say you have photograph"
eyes; had some taken of the body
this afternoon. Here's one of them.
Keep 1t. You may have a use for IT,"
took the card. and. as gazed at
the face depicted upon 1t, ! realized
that the distorted countenance | had
seen in the afternoon had given me
no ideh of the mans appearance. Now
the eyes were closed and the features
composed and peaceful. but even death
failed to give them any dignity. 1t
was a weak and dissipated face. the
face of hanger on of cafes, of lott
erer along the boulevards.
81 don't see what business he could
have had with Philip vantine," said.
Neither do l; but no doubt we can
establish this fellows identity in time
sooner than we think, perhaps. for
most of the morning papers will run
his picture. and If he is known here In
New York at all, it will be recognized
by some one. When we find out who
he is, we can probably guess at the
nature of his business with vantine.
We can find out who the woman was
who called to see vantine tonight-that
is just case of grilling Rogers; then
we can run her down and get her Sc
cret out of her. We can find why Rog-
ers is trying to shield her, All that is
comparatively simple. But we don't
want to know these things. What we
want to know is how Philip vantine
and this unknown Frenchman were
killed. And that is just the one thing
which, l am convinced. neither the
man nor the woman nor Rogers nor
anybody else we have come across in
this case can tell us. There's a per-
sonality behind all this that we haven't
even suspected yet. and which, l am
free to confess | don't know how to

go on" he said, his eyes on my
face.
"Well. believe 1 know how these
two men were killed. Listen"
And told him in detail the story of
the Boule cabinet. l repeated Van
tines theory of its first ownership; 1
named the price which he was ready
to pay for 1t; described the difference
between an original and a counterpart
and dwelt upon Vantine's assertion
that this was an original of unique and
unquestionable artistry.
Beautiful" Godfrey murmured from
time to time. Immense! What
case 1t will make. Lesterr he cried.
"Then you see 1t too?" 1 questioned.
"See it?" and he dropped into his
chair again. * man would be blind
not to see It, But all the same, Lester,
l give you credit for putting the facts
together"
