Jacques Velizay has just come from
India. Ten to one that he is the
buyer for the Bon Marche."
He snatched up his hat and ran
down to the street and hailed the
first cab that he saw.
"The Bon Marche," he said.
A few minutes later he was elbow
ing his way through the crowd in the
handsome gallery, where he import
ed rugs were exhibited.
Excuse me-" he said, addressing
tie head of the department. but

Merseins continued to examine the
rugs. hoping that the manager would
mention the name o. their foreign
buyer
He saw a magnificent Afghanistan
rug whose exquisite coloring APP
pealed to his artistic taste. He de-
cided TO buy it for his den: this at
any rate would show that he meant
business.
A clerk from the general office
came TO the head of the department

The manager took out his foun-
tain-pen and crossed out the Paris
address and then wrote: Saint
Jean, Bases, Pyrenees." Paul had
moved nearer and watched while he
wrote. So Velizay had come straight
to his firm and had now gone south,
probably to S his people.

He drew her to him. She flung
her arms round his neck in an aban-
donment of grief.
"Oh, Paul, do bring father back to

to auntie and Jeanne. We are all so
miserable" -
"There, there, little girl" he said.
Cheer up! 1t will all come right"
"Here am |, turned detective" he
unused as he leaned back in the cab
which took him to Paris. "A crime

nerhaps only one. Louis Farades may
he guilty, but he must have had an
accomplice. The victim was big,
strong man and it would have taken
two 10 overcome him. The other ac-
complice may be this buyer"
Each day the case against the two
brothers grew stronger. The autopsy
had shown that death had occurred
at eleven o'clock or half past eleven.
And as the victim had arrived in
Roulogne at about six-thirty, it
seemed almost certain that he had
been at the house of one of the
brothers.
The police searched for a motive
for the crime. There were two. There
was no money nor valuable papers
found upon the man. And secondly,
the victim had right to half the es-
tate that his brother had left, and
this had been taken possession of by
the two nephews.
The theory was that he had been
killed so that his two nephews would
not be forced to share the estate with
him. The accused stated in the most
positive manner that their uncle was
accompanied by man named JAG
ques Velizay The police neglected
TO mention this man to the newspa-
per reporters, because here was
something that baffled them.
Either this Velizay did not exist
and il would be wiser not 70 mention
him for fear of being ridiculed; or if
this man did exist it was almost GER
tain that he was implicated in the
crime. In the latter case it would be
more prudent to keep his name out
of the papers, for if the alarm were
given he might escape.
Paul Merseins settled his most i'm
portant business affairs on the

ANTWERP PRIZE OF GERMANS
Belgian City Captured After a Siege
That Lasted Only Eleven
Days.

Paris, Oct. 12.-The forts surround.
ing Antwerp and the city are now in
complete possession Of the Germans,
but the greater part Of the Belgian
army has escaped.
1t took the Germans just II days to
capture one of the strongest fortresses
in the world.
An official admission that the Brit.
ish participated in the defense of Ant;
werp is contained in the admiralty an.
nouncement that three naval brigades
with heavy guns had been sent there
during the last week of the German
attack. ii
The announcement adds that in the
retreat from Antwerp two of the Brit.
ish brigades reached Ostend safely,
The other, however, was cut off to. the
north of Lokeren "a town Of East
Flanders, IL miles northeast OF Ghent)
and 1000 Of the men were informed in
Holland. 35
The retreat of the Belgian army was
accomplished successfully.
The losses of the British naval bri.
gades probably will be less than three
hundred out Of a total OF 5000 men.
Germany has imposed a fine Of TO-
100000 pounds sterling ($100, O00, 000)
on Antwerp as a war indemnity.

GENERAL NEWS OF THE WAR
Beers Revolt Against Great Britain
German Forces Are Said to Be
Close to Warsaw.

. London, Get. 14.-The government
press bureau announces that part OF
the forces of the Union of South AT.
RIGA have rebelled. This information
came in a dispatch from the governor
general Of South Africa. The revolving
troops are those under Colonel Maritz
and they have been stationed in the
northwest of the Cape provinces, sup.
posedly close to German Southwest
Africa. 1t is understood that the mu.
tineers are mostly Beers. AS a result
Of the revolt Of the troops serving un'
der the English flag martial law has
been proclaimed throughout the Union
of South Africa. According to the al.
legations. the Germans were to help
the followers OF Colonel Maritz to
overthrow the existing government in
British South Africa, establish a re.
public and sever connections with Eng.
land. German Southwest Africa was
to get the British territory Of Walish
bay and other land in compensation.
Germans Menace Warsaw.
Washington, Oct. 14.-Warsaw,. capt.
tai of Russian Poland, is threatened
by German forces and may fall at any
moment, according to an official dis
patch to the American government
from one of it's consuls, who asked for
instructions as to the care Of foreign
interests during the expected period
Of occupancy. In Ease Warsaw does
fall, the United States probably will
take charge of Russian interests. Rus.
STA has abandoned the narrow point in
,Galicia between Przemsyl and ,Cracow,

pied all of Galicia with the exception
of these two places, says a dispatch

An unconfirmed rumor that the Aus
TRANS have retaken Lemberg, Galicia,
