 Nothing is enough for one of your kind to know" replied Roleau blandly. He might perhaps have engaged in still more truculent conversation with the clerk, had he not at that moment felt hand laid on his arm.
 He turned to face a sergeant of gendarmes, who drew him to one side.
 ''fn the name of the law, you are my prisoner" said the man. Come with me-"

 Roleau found this proposition diff- cult of present answer.

 That is all very well, very well. but it is not enough. as you will see" rejoined the prefect. The king did not set you free.'
 "Only because the king had not yet heard from my mistress Give me leave to bring the two together and that may be done and she will set all right at once. Ask her"
 ''I do not need to ask her. The king has set for me the task of finding wonder murderer. I must fill that task l have done so now"
