At Solomon's death, when the twelve
tribes separated into two Kingdoms, there
were great contrasts between them. and
splendid outline from Peloubet follows:
ISRAEL.
1. It was twice as large as Judah. This
area Is to be considered an advantage,
other things being equal.
q 1t was richer and more fertile than
Judah containing as Professor Kent says,
more than four times the arabic land.
3. Its territory contained most OF the
famous places Ot'the nations past history,
and most of its greatest heroes, men ana
women, belonged TO the northern tribes.
f. 1t was free to develop in natural ways,
unhampered by past organization. us peo-
pie possessed larger freedom tnat was

political disturbances.

But she consistently refused. Rather
than sell this priceless gem she pre-
ferred to economic, to live in SIM
pie fiat, with just a companion, a
cook, and a man servant. Nor did
she hesitate to confess her reason: the
black pearl was the gift of an en-
perorl
"As long as I live" she said. "it
shall never quit my sight"
She wore it round her neck from
morning till evening. At night she
placed = in receptacle known to her
self alone.
All these facti were related in the
newspapers, and stimulated public
curiosity. And, strange to say, though
easy enough to understand for those
who possess the key to the riddle, it
was just the arrest of the alleged as
sassin that complicated the mystery
and increased the excitement. Two
days after the murder the papers con-
tanned the following news:
1--WE understand that Victor Dan
eyre, the Comtesse d'Andillot's serv-
ant, has been arrested. The evidence
adduced against him is overwhelming.
Blood stains have been discovered on
the lustrine sleeve of his livery waist
coat, which was found in his room,
hidden between the mattresses of his
bed, by NJ. Dudouis, the chief of the
detective service. Moreover. one of
the stuff-covered buttons of the waist
coat was missing; and this button had
been picked up. at an early stage of
the Investigation. under the victims
bed.
at seems probable that, after din
ner, instead of going to his own room
in the attic, Danegre slipped into the
wardrobe closet, and through the
glass door saw the countess hide the
black pearl.
I'VE must add that there is no
proof. so far, to confirm this suppo-
Hsition. In any case, one point remains
unexplained. At 7 o'clock in the morn
ing Danegre went to the tobacconist's
shop on the Boulevard de Courcellcs.
The concierge and the tobacconist
have both given evidence to this eff

Did he have another key made for
his own use? The inquiry will show"
The inquiry showed absolutely
nothing. On the contrary. 1t appeared
that Victor Danegre was dangerous
criminal. who had already served a
term of Imprisonment, a confirmed
drunkard and loose liver. who was
not likely to quail before the use of
the knife. But the case itself seemed
to become wrapped in a thicker
STROUD of mystery and in more mex
plicable contradictions the more it was
studied.
To begin with Mile. de Sincleves,
the cousin and sole heiress of the
murdered woman, declared that the
countess, a month before her death,
told her, in one of her letters, of the
place where she used to hide the
black pearl. This letter disappeared
the day after she received it. Who
had stolen it?
The concierge and his wife, on their
side, said that they had opened the
door to a man who had gone up to
DR.. Harers. The doctor was sent for.
No one had rung at his door. In that
case, who was this mani An accom-
plice?
This idea of an accomplish was
adopted by the newspapers and the
public. Ganimard-old Chief Inspcc-
tor Canimard-accepted it, not with
out excuse.

conviction that makes them force

explanation offered. Victor Dane
gre's anteccdents were of deplor-
able character-I have already said
that he had undergone sentence be-
fore, was a drunkard and loose
liver-and this influenced the magis-
trate's judgment. Although no new
circumstance arose to corroborate the

Victor Danegre was acquitted.
He left prison one Friday by the
waning light of the afternoon, enact
ated and depressed by the six months
spent in the cells. The examination,
the solitary confinement, the trial, the
deliberation of the jury-all this had
filled him with sickly dread. His
nights were haunted by hidcous
Nightmares and visions of the scat
fold. He tremblcd with fever and
terror.

he hired small room on the heights
of Montmartre, and lived on odd jobs
shifting for himself as best he
could.
One evening he was dining at an
eating house in the neighborhood
when some one came and sat down
opposite him. 1t was a man of about
40 years of age dressed in black
frock coat of doubtful cleanliness. He
ordered a soup, dish of vegetables
and quart of wine. And when he
had eaten his soup he looked at Dane
gre with a long. fixed stare.
Danegre turned pale. Without a
doubt the man was one of those who
had been following him for weeks.
What did he want with him? Dane
gre tried to get up. He could not.
His legs staggered beneath him.
The stranger poured himself out a
glass of wine and filed Danegre's
glass.
"Your health, Victor Danegre."
