CHAPTER xxxvI.
The Body of the Crime.


1t had been easy for Roleau, once
he was free of the immediate presence
of the officers. to spring into the near
est alfeyway and quickly pass from
sight. While the officer. in charge OF
his more distinguished prisoners. was
passing in the car toward the front en-
trance of the Hotel Ritz, Roleau him
self was speeding thither almost as
quickly through devious passageways
which led to the rear of the hotel.
Attaining entrance at the rear, he
sped up the back stairs, and found
himself once more at the apartments
OF Kitty Gray.
What he saw caused even his stout
nerves to quail for the time. On the
floor before him. with face half turned
and arms outflung. lay the victim OF
the last adventure connected with the
mysterious Gretzhoffen coin
Roleau did not know this man at
first, but he seemed not of Gretzhof-
fen. Rather his garb betokened him
to come from the kindred kingdom OF
Grahaffen.

which he knew was imperative. Ro-

The prefect of police turned to his
men. I'VE have not yet found all of
those parties who may be concerned
with this crime. We have not yet
held our questions on the scene of the
crime itself.
They turned, all of them, now, and
approached the stairway which led to
the floor upon which were located
kittys apartments. Their numbers
quite filled the hall as they advanced,
preceded and followed by gendarmes.
But suddenly. as they approached the
spot they sought. the captain of gend-
armes touched the arm of his superior
and pointed ahead

The prefect himself flung open the
door and entered the mysterious room.

a crime was concerned, was entirely
empty. Everything was In order as
before. There was no dead man therel

Roleau, guardian of the fortunes of
his mistress. had remained at that
portion Of the palace which seemed
to him most useful as a coign of van
tage in watching against intrusion.
He had not been aware of the quiet
advance OF Count Frederick when the
latter had been summoned by the elec-
trio bell set off by Kitty's presence in
his own apartments. He knew moth

AS for the attendants OF the palace

Roleau caught some sense OF what
was coming on, saw the men approach
ing. and darted back to warn his mis-
tress, whose long delay he could not
understand. He hurried swiftly, on
tip-toe. along the halls he knew so
well, and naturally met no opposi-
ton. He reached the door of the room
where he had left Kitty, glanced with
in, and found the room empty. He
turned this way and that, not knowing
what to do. and fearing to turn back
toward the main stairway, passed
deeper to the rear.
All at once he heard the voice of
Kitty, loud and clear: "Roleaui Rol-
eaul A moi, vitel vite."
He hastened on down the hall,
knowing that his mistress was once
more in some desperate plight. and SO
found himself at length face to face
at tho foot of the staircase with the
Count Frederick, who turned to meet
him.

New Problems.

New Problems.
Meantime the agencies of the law
were in charge of another situation
which but now had arisen in the des-
tiny of the dynamic Gretzhoffen coin.
There had been murder done but now
over this coin. The city was exerting
all its force usually employed in the
preservation of life and property.
Swiftly a Gordon of troops and of the
local gendarmerie had been summoned
into action. The exits of the town
were guarded. The gendarmes filed
the streets nearby, some guarding the
crossings, others converging toward
the point of greater interest, whence
the alarm had come-the Ritz hotel.
What is this, monsieur" demanded
the officer, as he approached the desk,
his quick eyes glancing over every de-
tail about him. Remain here, all of
you. Let no one attempt escape. What
is this, them"
I'VE do not know, captain" began
the clerk, who acted as spokesman.

clares a man has been found killed in

The clerk looked about him. Count
Sachio by this time had approached
the door, and would have been glad
enough to pass out Detained by the
porter for time, he now had met the
gendarmes, who allowed no one to
leave the place. The captain ap-
preached him.

What did this gentleman say?"
"He asked me where was the charm

said he had known her before"
Has anyone else inquired for the
young American lately? Has anyone
else been in her apartments?''
The clerk considered for an instant
"One other, monsieur lie capitaine,

"a gentleman whose name dislike

ment exercises Of the University OF
New Mexico were held yesterday
morning and the most successful year

brought to an end.
The program was in keeping with
the occasion. The commencement

tinez was one of the ablest ever de-
livered before the students of any in
stitution The remarks of President
David r. Boyd In his usual happy
vein, were received with the most
marked enthusiasm. and the splendid
musical program arranged by Prof. +.
Stanley Seder set q new standard OF
artistic excellence and merit.
The announcement by President
Boyd that all the professors who serv-
ed in the faculty of the university dur
ing the past year have been reelected
for another year was greeted with ex-
pressions of the most emphatic ap-
proval and pleasure. In addition to
those who are now serving, a new
member of the faculty has been chos-
en- in the person of William ]. Hig-
gins, an Albuquerque boy, who is to
be instructor in history. Mr. Hig-
gins is a graduate of the class of 1915
and has made record for scholar
ship and general ability which easily
stamps him as one of the university's
distinguished alumni

haps the most gratifying announce
ment of all those made during the day
yesterday.

versity of New Mexico Alumni asso-
citation held at the Alvarado hotel ar
rangements were completed for the
giving of a scholarship in the univer-
sity, and II is also assured that sever
