 Tt Is true" replied the Marquis But it was not discreet, as after. events have demonstrated Perhap, by these discussions we gave informa, ton of the whereabouts of this neck lace to this Apache Lenuex,"
 The Prefeot of Police made a vague gesture and continued to speak.
 The Marquis. upon discovery of the robbery. at once notified the Serv- Ice de Ia Surete: old Forneau and an agent arrived immediately. Upon examination Of the bit of paper, it proved to be slip bearing the name in print of Moore Poole X Co, q firm of American brokers in Paris. '
 "OId Forneau at once suggested that the robbery must have been com mitted by some one from the office of these brokers. probably an American. since the slip of paper must have come from some one employed in that establishment.
 But here the Marquis chantelle, showing an intelligence superior to that of this officer of the Surete, pointed out that no one would come on such sn adventure bringing with him a piece of paper, and especially an indicatory piece of paper. upon which to set down such memoran- dunn. It was far more likely that the piece Of paper had been acquired somewhere in the apartment.
 He then suggested that an inquiry be made to discover whether some one from this American firm of Moore Poole X Company had not at one time occupied an apartment in the building.
 "Forneau acted upon this sugges- ton and ascertained that Monsieur the Marquis was correct. He dis covered n quantity Of these blank printed slips in the basement of the building. where. with other rubbish, they had ben retained by the con- cierge to kindle fire in the furnace.
 Thus Monsieur the Marquis at one stroke removed any suspicion < that IIllSHJ nave DccIi dlJtCHcu los euiS m HI of brokers and confined the inquiry to some one having access to the build ing and knowledge of 1t, else he would not have been in the basement where this debris from the apartments of old tenants had accumulated.
 ''The query as to how the robber had obtained access to the Marquis apartment on this night now ad- vanced itself :. There is no key to these apartments except the one de- livered to the tenant by the bank making the lease.
 When the door is closed. 1t Is locked from the outside-that is to say, the knob of the door does not turn on the outside; it turns only on the inside, so that it can always be opened from the inside, whether locked or not.

 By no means, replied the Prefect of police. "I would generalize to the solution of this mystery; and with NJ. le Marquis aid, 1 think can arrive at it."
