The Project smiled. THE mere
fact that he is an English subject
living in Paris entities him to a
dossier. Now, please tell me ex-
act1y the way to spell his surname
and his Christian name"
Very clearly the Senator spelt
out-first the word John" and
then the word "Dampier."
And as. under his dictation, the
Project of Police wrote the two
distinctive names of the missing
man, there came a look of frown-
ing perplexity and INDIGESTION over
his face.
TITS an odd thing" he
muttered, but l seem to have
heard that name quite lately. and
in some strange connecticut"
Isn't IL likely" suggested the
Senator, that the mans disap-
pearance has been reported to
you? My son and I have done
everything in our power to make
the fact known, and Mr.. DAM
piers name and particulars as to
his disappearance have been at
the Morgue since yesterday"
We'll. that's possible, of
course.
This time the Project did not
ring his bell. Instead he blew
down a tube. "Picot? Please send
me the dossier of an artist-painter
called John Dampier," he spelt
the names. English subject;
living in Impasse des Nonnes.

had that name before us during
the last week or So Have you
any recollection of IL?
He put the tube to his ear.
And then the American Sena-
tor, looking at the Paris Project
of Police, was struck by a sudden
change which came over the
listeners face There gathered
on Monsieur Beaucourt's features
a look of quick surprise, followed
by a frown of dismay.
Putting his free hand over the
tube, he withdrew Il from his ear
and applied 1t to his lips. Yes,
yes" he said rapidly, enough! /
quite understand. IL is. as you
say, very natural, that 1 should
have forgotten"
And then he looked quickly
across at the Senator. You are
right, Monsieur lie Senateur; Mr.
Dampier's name was put before
me only yesterday as that of an
Englishman who had disappeared
from his hotel. But I took him
to be a passing visitor. You
know quiet a number of the tour

call q 'scrape.' In such a case a
man generally thinks IL better to

There followed a pause,

chair, you may rest assured
that | will do everything that is
in my power to find your friend. !"
But the dossierf" exclaimed
Senator Barton. 81 thought.

"Oh, to be sure-yes! l beg
your pardon"
Again he whistled down the
tube. "Picot?" he exclaimed, ST

He listened for a few moments
to what his invisible subordinate

spoke down the funnel, and with
a certain pettish impotence. THE

A moment later a clerk knock
ed at the door, and appeared with
a blue envelope which he laid
with a deep bow on the Projects
table
1t was not a very large en-
velope. and yet Senator Barton
was surprised at its size, and at
the number of slips of paper the
Project of Police withdrew from
1t. Not till he had glanced at
every item did he hand the en-
velope to his American visitor.
Senator Barton could not but
admire the intelligent way the
dossier had been prepared, and
kept up TO date.
On the top sheet were care
fully gummed various entries
from the biographical diction-
aries in which mention was made
of John Dampier and his career.
There followed a eulogistic news
paper article containing an ac-
count I the picture which had
won the artist his Medal of
Honor at the Salon two years

the following words: Lives

CHAPTER VIII.
The Search.

As he walked away from the
Prefecture of Police, Senator
Barton told himself that the
French were certainly a casual
people.
How strange that the Project
should have asked him to break
the news to the PoulainsI In
America the hotelkeeper would
have received a formal notifica-
ton that his house was to be
searched, or, in the case foul play
was suspected, no warning at all.
OF everything that had hap
paned in connection with this ex-
traordinary Dampier affair, hav-
ing to tell the Poulains that their
hotel was to be searched was the
most disagreeable to their Ameri-
can friend and kindly client.
On his return to the hotel the
Senator was surprised to find a
woman he had never seen before
installed in Madame Poulain S
kitchen.
"Is Madame Poulain out?" he
asked the woman.
"She won't be long, monsieur;
she and her husband have had to
absent themselves for a little
hour"
Are they both out?" asked the
Senator.
Eyes, monsieur. They have
had to take that nephew of theirs,

had suddenly become anxious to
get rid of him.
But this impression was evil

they had cordially shaken hands.

poor young wife will never see

pointed him. Such cases are

iish and American people. You,
