NO, we won't" saiu jacques, de-
cisively. "These are clues, but not
proofs"
"Not proofs! What do you mean?
Look at the seal and the ink used for
it. 1t is tho same as this one on
the receipt!
"If Jean Farades's murderer is
Andre Calesse, you may be sure that
he has taken every precaution not to
be found out. This might not be suf-
fcient even to arrest him."
"But the writing is the same!
What is the good of this receipt and
your contract, then?"
"I'll keep the receipt here under
lock and key. The contract affords
me the opportunity to get more ac-
quainted with Calesse. Perhaps in
time | shall find some genuine, con-
vincing proofs, instead of mere
clues"

sed their evening thus, the two men
whom they suspected were convers-

1t was not until the coffee and IL
queurs had been placed upon the
table, and the servants had with
drawn, that they attacked the SUBJ
ject which held such interest for
them both. Nine. Calesse had re-
fused to dine with Pecheret, SO tho
men were alone.
"Was that a bona-fide receipt"
asked Pecheret for the third time
that day.
"Yes, 1 have told you so; it was
perfectly genuine. 1t was a legal
receipt from the Bank of France"
"Then the ninny has three hum
dred thousand francs to his credit,
and he is going to hand it over to
you. Is he mad?"
"No, he is not mad; neither is he
sharper. He is just a fool. He
quite believes that he is going into
partnership with me, and that we
shall do tremendous business be-
tween London, Paris, and India"
what are you going to do?
"Let it go on, and when the papers
are ready to sign introduce some
clause that will give us absolute
power"
The week passed. Jacques paid his
call upon Nine. Calesse when he
knew her husband would be there.
She seemed very i'll; he was sur

Correct Habits In Regard to sle.r

Correct Habits In Regard to Siesp.
Sleepiness is a normal and healthy
condition when il occurs at the usual
bedtime and when not extreme and
overpowering: but it is not always
associated with sleep. Some persons
In perfect health and excellent sleep
ers hardly know the meaning of drow-
siness; they are active mentally and
physically until they are in bed; then
sleep comes at once, and when it
leaves them in the morning they arc
again in full mental awakeness.
There are less fortunate persons
who have never a complete and salts
factory nights rest, who are yet al
most constantly drowsy; they are al
ways nodding, but when the head
touches the pillow sleep recedes and
the night is a succession OF drowsy
lapses to sleep with the instant re-
turn Of semiconsciousness.
In general. with the exception noted
at the beginning of this article. drow-
siness is abnormal and indicates some-
thing wrong either in the body of the
sufferer or in his habits. Those who
habitually cut off their hours of sleep,
the might owls and the burners Of
the midnight oil, pay for their bad
habits by attacks OF sleepiness in the
afternoon and early evening: later.
unfortunately, after the influence OF

disappears, and then, relieved of his
burden, the person "sits up to all
hours" again thinking in that way TO
make up for the hours lost by tho
drowsiness. If he would abandon his
owlish habit, go to bed betimes and
get the seven or eight hours of con-
tinuous sleep that he needs his day
time and evening drowsiness would
disappear, he could do more and bet
ter work and find life much more en-
| joyable.
| 4 slight drowsiness Is often noticed
after hearty meal because active d.
gestien draws a greater volume OF
blood to the stomach so that the brain
is relatively poorly supplied. In some
| ~
favored and the siesta after the noon
meal Is national custom. With us
the after-dinner cup OF black coffee
often drives away the impulse to
sleep-whether for good or i'll may be
left to the psychologists to determine.
Sometimes we hear of attacks of
sleepiness occurring suddenly at GER
tain periods of the day or at irregular
intervals. These are altogether alb
normal, and in such cases there Is al
most always some poison at work in
the nervous centers- self
manufactured poison which because It
is made in too great quantity or be-
cause constipation or kidney disease
prevents it's rapid elimination accum-
ulates in the system.
An essential In the treatment of
such cases is dieting. Meat should be
given up for time at least, and the
only beverage allowable is water or

A few days later, Andre Calesse,
clean-shaven, well-groomed, and
shining like a new penny, rode
through the Bois on his way to
business. He was thinking of the
emotion his wife had shown when
she had met Velizay.
"She knew him in Calcutta" Of
that am sure" he muttered. "Bahl
She is getting unbearable. She is

his spurs into his horses flanks. AT

in livery ready to open the street
door. AS MerSeins had said, it was
impossible to define what sort of

were several safes, but the clerks
themselves did not know what they
contained, and the correspondence
was always conducted by Calesse

He had been seated in his private
