PART FIFTH.
ELIZABETH DILLON

While Nanteuil was robbing Prin-
cess Sonia and planning his specula-
tion in sugar, Elizabeth Dillon was liv-
ing quietly in boarding house at Au-
teuil. 1t was a first-class establish
.nent, and no one would have imagined
that she would be in the least danger
while a guest there. One day while
going over her brothers effects which
she had brought from his studio, she
found a strange letter which worried
her great deal. When she remem-
bered that Fandor had offered to be of
whatever help he could on any occa-
sion, she decided to write to him.
"Dear Mr.. Fandor," she wrote, 81

lon."
Miss Dillon then thought it wise tC
hide the sheet of paper which was oc-
casioning her such uneasiness. This
she did by unscrewing the top Of heI
blotting pad, putting the paper inside
and then replacing the blotter. She
knew very well that there would be
almost superhuman efforts made to re.
trive the paper, should its damaging
character become known. The gir
was called to the telephone before she
had sealed her letter. During her alb
sence, the letter was read by Jules, the
hall boy who had told her she wa:
wanted. Elizabeth returned from thu
telephone without having learned wh'
had called her, but she did not consid
er this unusual.
-. Jules hung about, asking if she di,
not wish him to mail her letter. How
ever, Elizabeth thought it best to pu
it in the mail box herself.
AS was her custom DefOre retiring
Miss Dillon drank her cup of tea
without knowing that Jules had place,
in it sleeping potion. So quickly di'
she become drowsy that it was all sh
could do to get into bed before heav.
sleep evercame her.
At twelve o'clock the house wa
quiet The clock had not ceased strik
ing before Miss Dillon's door wa
quietly opened. Jules and man il

help thinking regretfully Of Juve, the
best friend he had ever had in the de-
partment.
On his way to the detective bureau
lon one particular morning, Fandor was
thinking Of the mysterious finger
prints and wondering IL he would ever
learn how they had been made after
Jack Dillon's death. A half-witted
creature stopped him and made some
remarks. He was poorly
dressed and evidently in great want.
He seemed to be asking for a match.
Something about the man was surpris-
Iingly familiar. When Fandor scru-
tinized him, the man turned and ran.
Yet it seemed as If he thus invited
Fandor to follow him.
To Fandor's surprise, the man jump
ed into an automobile and made off.
The reporter followed in a taxicab. He
was able to keep the car in sight and
| by now his delight was greater than
his surprise when 1t stopped in front
Of Juve's home. He saw the man rush
UP the steps and into the house. Fan
dor followed. and there calmly seated
in chair, he found the great detec-
tive waiting for him.
Juve's calm manner was assumed,
for he was just as eager and excited as
was the reporter himself. Rapidly,
each told the story Of passing events
as he knew them. Pieced together
these made a startling indictment
against the banker Nanteuil. The tive
men determined that the time had
come to take the nan into custody
They only delayed long enough fol
Juve to attire himself properly for the
visit.
wynen Juve and Fandor arrived al
the Nanteuil banking house they sen,

As if he thought himself lost, Fan
tomas obeyed.
While Fandor kept him covered
with his revolver, Juve sprang upol
the man and pulled down his righ
arm. Then he began to tear away tn,
skin upon his hand.
After short struggle the detectiv,
triumphantly held up glove. 1t wa
made in one piece and was of a dul
color.

rOwed down under the clothing with
which it was filed.
The reporter had scarcely concealed
Himself before the door opened. The
keeper Of the boarding house entered,
followd by a man who had COM
manding appearance. His manner was
Authoritative, yet If Fandor had been
able to see him he would have recog-
nized him as Nanteuil, the banker.
One Of the others who accompanied
him he would also have known. The
man was Nibet. The authoritative per-
son took legal looking document
from his pocket and handed it to the
landlady.
Because Of the suspicion that a
crime has been committed, "the paper
read, "this order to the keeper Of the
b boarding house will admit Special Elk
aminer Dulac to make an examination
of the room Of Elizabeth Dillon ac-
cording to law" 1t was signed by
Examining Magistrate Fuselier.
The search began. Every scrap of
paper was inspected, but the much de-
sired memorandum was not found.
The special examiner made thorough
search Of everything but the willow
basket. This caught his eye just as
he was about to leave the room and he
ordered his assistants to bring it with
them. 1t was carried to waiting mo-
tor car, and Fandor heard the order
given to drive to a Lecourbe street
address.
| The drive seemed interminable to
the imprisoned reporter. At last the
car stopped and the basket was car
ried into the house. After it had been
deposited in a room and there was nc
sound for long, long time, Fando1
decided to cut his way to liberty.
The sight which met Fandor's eyes
when once he had freed himself from

that the body was that Of the grea

were the marks of the fingers that hat
lstrangled him. At sight of them the
newspaper man sprang up in astonish
ment. Surely the prints were the same
as upon the neck of Princess Sonia
the prints of the fingers Of the deat
lartist, Jack Dillon.
