With what object7"
With the object of furnishing
proof against Marie Fauville and
getting her condemned. So /
asked for the attendance Of the
deputy and two men. There will
be four Of us to bear witness to
your honesty"
They all took up their posts.
Two detectives were to sit up in
turns.
This time, after making-a
minute search Of the little room
in which Fauville's son used to
sleep, they locked and bolted the
doors and shutters. AT IL o'clock
they switched off the electric
chandelier.
Don Luis and Weber hardly
slept at all.
The night passed without Incl
dent Of any kind.
But, at Z o'clock, when the
shutters were opened, they saw
that there was a letter on the
table. Just as on the last occa-
sion, there was a letter on the
table!
When the first moment Of stu
pefaction was over, the deputy
chief took the letter. His orders
were not to read it and not to let
anv ono alec read II
Here is the letter, published by
the newspapers, which also pub
lished the declaration of the cx-
perts certifying that the hand
writing was Hippolyte Fa,lyille s:
II have seen him! You understand,
don't you, my dear friend? have seen

almost dark. But I knew him at once.

promise. CASTOR Sauverand IL in

Significance OF that fact? II hi is in

shall have suffered at that mans
hands! He has already robbed me OF
my happiness; and now he wants my
life. 4 am terrified"
So#Fauville knew that the man
with the ebony walking stick, that
CASTOR Sanverand, was designing
to kill him. Fauville declared it
most positively, by evidence writ
ten in his own hand and the let
ter, moreover, corroborating the
words that had escaped CASTOR
Sauverand at his arrest, showed
that the two me had ait lone time
had relations with each other, that
they were no longer friends, and

ASlittle light was therefore be-
ing shed on the darkness of the

other hand, how inconceivable

and night birds of every kind
came trooping up to hear the let
est news.
The project Of police, greatly
impressed by the first two mir
acles, had determined to lei the
next n for himself, and was
present in person on the third
night.
He came accompanied by sew
eral inspectors, whom he left in
the garden, in the passage, and in
the attic on the upper story. He
himself took up his post on the
grond- floor with Weber, MAJ
eroux, and Don Luis Perenna.
Their expectations were disap-
pointed, and this was M Desmal-
ions fault. In spite Of the ex-
press opinion of Don Luis, who
deprecated the experiment as use
less, the project had decided not
to turn off the electric light, so
that he might see If the light
would prevent the miracle. Tn
der these conditions no letter
could appear, and no letter did
appear. The miracle, whether a
%conjuring trick or a criminal s
device, needed the kindly aid of
the darkness.
There was therefore ten days
lost, always presuming that the
|diabolical postman would dare to
repeat his attempt and produce
the third mysterious letter.
On the 18th of May the wait
was renewed, while the same
crowd gathered outside, an
anxious, breathless crowd, stirred
by the least sound and keeping
an impressive silence, with eyes
gazing upon Fauvilles' house.
This time the light was put out,
but the project Of police kept his
hand on the electric switch. Ten
times, 20 times, he unexpectedly
turned on the light. There was
nothing on the table. What had
aroused his attention was the
creaking of a piece Of furniture
or a movement made by one Of
the men with him.
Suddenly they all uttered an
a rustling noise, had interrupted
the silence.
M. Desmalions at once switch
ed on the light. He gave a cry.
A letter lay not on the table, but
beside it, on the floor, on the
carpet.
Mazeroux made the sign Of the
cross. The inspectors we're as
pale as death.
Ne. Desmalions looked at Don
Luis, who nodded his head with
out q. word.
They suspected the condition.of
the locks and bolts. Nothing had
moved.
That day again, the contents Of.
the letter made some amends for
the really extraordinary manner
of its delivery. tt completely
dispelled all doubts that still en-
shrouded the double murder on
the Boulevard Suchet.

TO all these questions Marie
Fauyille replied in the most unz
expected manner, though it was
one that fully accorded with her
threats. A week later, after a
long cross-examination at which
she vas pressed for the name of
her husbands old friend and at
which she maintained the most
stubborn silence, together with a
sort of inertia, she returned to her
cell in the evening and opened
the veins in her wrist with a piece
OF glass which she had managed
to hide.
Don Luis heard the news from
Mazeroux, who came to tell him
of it before 8 o'clock the next
morning, just as he was getting
out of bed. The sergeant had a
travelling bag in his hand and
was on his way to catch a train.
Don Lpis was greatly upset.

Did she volunteer no confes-

about the mysterious letters. He
was the only friend that she had
known her husband to possess, or
at any rate the only one whom he
would have called, My dear
friend. This M. Langernault
could do no more than prove her
innocent and explain the terrible
misunderstanding Of which she
was q victim"
But" said Don Luis, .if
there is anyone to prove her in
nocent, why does she begin by
opening her veins?"
She doesn't care, she SAYS.
Her life is done for; and what she
wants is rest and death"
