CHAPTER vi.
Police Find the Jewels.

1t was almost midnight when
jacques reached Passy. AS he neared
Caiesse's house he saw white form
on the balcony. 1t was Fadejah.
She remained leaning over the rail
for few minutes, then went in and
closed the windows. Jacques took up
bis stand behind clump of trees and
waited, listening intently for the
slightest sound Of carriage wheels on
the road.
Toward daybreak he began to feel
drowsy, when suddenly quick foot
steps broke the silence. He had only
just time to slip round the clump of
trees to dodge man who was coming
from the opposite direction.
At first he did not recognize him,
and it was only when he was quite
near that he saw that it was Calesse.
But it was not the well-groomed Ca
lesse whom he knew. The man was
disheveled, and his clothes and boots
were covered with dirt. Jacques
scarcely breathed. For moment he
was afraid that he would be seen.
But Calesse walked by and opened the
iron gate leading to his grounds.
Jacques waited few minutes long
err, but he saw no lights in the villa.
1t was evident that Calesse had gone
to bed without waking any one.
"That's an odd condition for man
to be in who has been supping with
gay company" thought Jacques.
He knew now that Fadejah had not
set trap for him, and yet he sus-
pected her. The day was breaking.
He must hurry back. He walked
through the Bois and arrived at the
Porte ,Maillot. At the Notifications
there was group of excise men talk
ing to a man who was entering Paris.
Already up?" asked one of the
excise men. Anything on today 2"
"Another raid" answered the man.
"I've got to be at the Palais de JUS
tice at seven O'clock" jacques was
/ curious. "e stopped to light cigar.

"We are going from there with the
chief of the secret service"
"Still for that Farades affair 2" In

They separated, and arranged to
meet that same evening in time to
catch the Marseilles express
The next day the papers published
news that several jewels had been
found in Arthur Farades' house, and
also that a dagger and notebook
which had belonged to the murdered
man had been found in Louis Far
ades' garden.
1t was stated that M. Beaulieu
considered the inquiry now at an
end, and the accused would shortly
be taken to trial. Three days later
the papers again published an ar
ticie. This time the heading was In
large type. The article stated that
In an unexpected manner consider
able light had now been thrown on
the mystery. The police had found
it strange that Jacques Velizay
should be a friend Of the family,
and yet at the same time the evi-
dence that he gave should be so
damaging to the two brothers.
Two days after the finding OF the
jewels, M. Beaulieu had sent for
him, asking him to call upon him
and again confirm his statement.
He had not responded to the call.
A second message was sent to hlm,
still he did not appear. Then mes
senger was dispatched to learn the
cause of his silence.
The caretaker of his apartment
then informed the police that he had
packed up few clothes hastily, and
that he had left Paris. He had gone
away with his friend, Paul Merseins.
They had left the city on the day
that the police had raided the two
houses in Boulogne.
NJ. Beaulieu was surprised to
learn this, and he decided that his
men should search Jacques Velizay's
apartment The safe was opened,
and the first thing the police saw
was the receipt that had belonged to
the murdered man, bearing the
words: Received of Jean Farades,
the sum of three hundred and fifty
seven thousand frances, ct cetera,"
and the list of securities comprising
that sum. 80 % .a p.
They also found a rough contract
= partnership between Andre Ca
lesse and Jacques Velizay. He had
left his firm, and he was now going
to put in Calesses business the sum
of three hundred thousand francs,
which would consist of the same
shares as those mentioned on the
murdered mans receipt.

LAWN TENNIS BIRTHDAY.
Proposed Celebration to Honor Name
of the lnNsnknr-

Proposed Celebration to Honor Name
Of the Inventor.
To celebrate the fortieth birthday
of lawn tennis it Is proposed to erect
memorial to the man who intro
duced-if he did not acIut Hy invent
the game. says Pearson's Weekly.
Major Walter Clapton WingHeld.
NJ. V. o.. was tn, name OF the pioneer
OF lawn tennis, so far as the Brltish
Isles were concerned. and he brought
the game to England in 1874. Major
Wingfeld's lawn tennis was not, In
some ways, the same game that Is SO
popular today, however. -..-.
"Sphairlstike" was the name un-
der which he patented It, and one
great point of diiernce was In the
shape OF the lawr on which It was
played. The first tennis courts were
marked out in the shape Of an hour
glass.
"Sphairistike" soon became very
popular. and year after It's intro
duction 1t was being played all over
the country. From being a sort OF
compromise between real tennis and
badminton, 1t rapidly became a far
more popular game than either.
Improvements TO cope with the
speeding up" of lawn tennis soon
came about. The net was lowered
from five feet at the sides and four
feet in the middle to three and o
half and three fet respectively. The
cutdown racquet bats at first used
were replaced by tightly strung
special racquets, and tennis balls
were made much more "liveIy" than
they were In the beginning.
A schoolboy discovered the present
way of cutting the flannel used in
covering the balls, and the patent
brought In many thousands of pounds.
AS boy King George played Ma
Jor Wingfield's "SphairIstike," and
that the game gave him q lasting
fondness for lawn tennis was shown
by the fact that he engaged in sew
eral "sets" as recently as last sum-
mer.
"Sphairistike" officially became
lawn tennis In 1888. when the English
Lawn Tennis association was formed.

TO MAKE SHADE FOR GAS LIGHT
What to Do When Shoe Polish 10 Dry

You can make a shade for the gas
