Nine. Zirtenzoff was at the point
of her greatest scene. Her voice
filled the immense house like a silver
bell, like innumerable silver bells
a quality of the human voice that
no other diva had ever brought to
Paris. Her youth, her alluring
beauty, added to the enchantment.
Monsieur lie Marquis de ChanLelle
was looking at her, one hand finger
ing his mustache, the other turning
the monocle at the end of the silk
cord. The Project of Police did not
interrupt the absorption, but he
continued to speak.
And as it happened" he said, lit
was the ingenuity of this device
suggested by the Marquis de Chan
telle that enabled Forneau to locate
the n who had committed the rob-
berry. He found an employe lately
taken on by the concierge because
he offered to assist in cleaning the
building at a lower cost. The agent
to this person in the course of his
interview with the employees of the
i building.
Monsieur he said. L am COM
PEELED to ask you to submit to some
mental tests, but l will make them
brief. Tell me the form of govern
ment under which we live and write
down for me the name of the presi-
dent of France and that Of the
premier who conducted the peace
terms in the Great War, and I will
give you no further annoyance
THE man replied that France was
a republic and wrote the name of
Alexander Millerand. But when he
came to write the c in Clemeueeau,
he hesitated. The agent seized him
at once, snapped a pair of handouts
on him and confronted him with For
IA He was shown the slip of pa
per which the Marquis had picked
up in his apartment. He was told
the details of the crime as ne had
carried it out, and in his confusion
he confessed"
The Project of Police continued to
speak, slowly, without a change Of
accent, as if to himself.
Monsieur lie Marquis will remem-
Der the Apache's confession; he had
obtained a position in the building
and had watched the Marquis apart
ment. AS it happened the night of
the robbery was not the first time
that the Marquis had left the door
Enclosed; a week before, he had left
it Enclosed in the afternoon. 1t was
then that this man had gone in
taking with him a slip of paper from
the baSement-broke open The Mar
quise's desk and searched for the
combination, which he finally found
aud wrote down. The search had
required a very long time, and he
had not time on this day to open the
safe. He had taken the paper with
him and waited until this night on
which the Marquis had again gone
out, leaving the door unattached.
Then he had opened the safe and
removed the necklace. He thought
that in putting the necklace into his
pocket he must have pulled the slip
of paper out, and by this means it
had fallen to the floor Where the
Marquis had picked it up.
THE man made no defense and
waived all legal procedure. He con-
fessed and has been sentenced to a
term of Imprisonment. But he re-
the necklace"
NJ. Jonquelle, watching the Mar
quis, took a box of cigarets out of
his pocket and slipped his thuin-
nail around the stamp, but ne did
not open the box. He spoke sudden
ly to the Marquis de Chantelle; his
voice was sharp, clear, and its tones
arrested the mans attention.
Monsieur lie Marquis" he said.
Mime. Zirtenzoff will not be
pleased with her bouquet of orchids"
The Marquis turned suddenly on
him; his eyes were now contracted
with an intense expression.
You know, monsieur, that l have
sent a bouquet of orchids to Nine.
Zirtenzoff2"
Surely, monsieur" replied the
Project of Police. 81 passed the boy
departing with them when I entered
They were very lovely, superb, ex-
quisite, the Notified Butterfly How
aptly adapted is that flower to Mon
sieur lie Marquis!"
The Marquis continued to regard
him.
And why, monsieur, do you COM
pare me with this variety of orchid 2"
IF you will tell me, Monsieur lie
Marquis" replied the Prefect of
Police, why Jean Lequex refused
to say where the necklace YVES that
he had stolen, l will nswer your
question"
The hauteur in the Marquis
voice was now distinctly audible.
