"It's extraordinary," answered the doctor, "but no one seems to have eeen this woman go oat." Agabi Fougeot turned to the waiter. "What Bort of woman was she? A lady oror not?" Joseph clocked his tongue admiring- by. "She- was a lady, all right, and a stunner! Oh. there's ono thing aierer "You can tell me later. Now, doc tor, well look at the room. I'll need yea. Xjeroy and yon and yon." lie BBOtloaed to his secretary and to two a bis men. Dr. Jeabert, bowing gravely, opened abe door of No. 0. and the commissary eetered. followed by bla scribe, a very bald aad pale young man. and by the twe policemen. Last came the doctor, ekialag the door carefully behind htm. Stretched at full length on the floor aear a pale yellow sofa lay a man In evening dress, bis head resting, face downward. In a little red pool. Be was evidently dead. "Has anything been disturbed here? Has any one touched this body?' de aaanded Pougcot sharply. "No," said the doctor; "GIbelln came ia with me, but neither of us touched aay thing. We waited for you." Ready, Leroy," and ho pro ceeded to dictate what there was to say. dwelling on two facts-rthnt .there' was bo Blgn of a weapon In the room ssd that the long double window open l&C oa the Rne Marboeuf was stand-bsg-epea. Dr. Joabert's examination establish ed at once the direct canso of death. Tbe man, a well built young fellow f perhaps twenty-eight, bad been shot te tbe right eye, a ball having pene trated tbe brain, killing him Instantly Tbo face showed marks of flame and powder, proving that the weapon un doubtedly a pistol had been discharg ed from a very short distance. "Doctor," asked tho commissary. CJaadag at the open window, "If this aaaa uhot himself, could he, In your oiliiioo. with bis last strength have thrown the pistol out there?" "Certainly not." answered Joubert "A man who received a wound like this would be dead before he could wtek. Besides, a search has been aaade anderueatb that window, and no pistol has been found." "It mast be murder," muttered Pou gcefe "See what he .baa on his per- -?, f ' t v These Instructions werer carefully carried eat, and it straightway became clear that robbery, at any rate, bad no pert te the crime. In the dead man's peck eta was found a considerable sum ef money, a bundle of five pound aotes of the Dank of England, besides a handful of French gold. On his fin gers were several valuable rings, In his scarf was a large ruby set with din Esends, and attached to hla waistcoat was a maBslve gold medal that at once established his Identity. lie was En rico Martinez, a Spaniard widely known as a professional billiard player and ako tbo hero of tho tcrrlblo char tty bazaar Are, where at tbe risk of bis Hfe be has saved several women from tbe flames. For this bravery the city of Paris had awarded htm a gold medal and people Jmd praised him until bis bead was balf turned. "Abaf muttered the commissary. "Tfaoro may be u husband mixed up in this. Call that waitor again, and or, we will continue .tbe examination out I 'Iff side." With this they removed to tho nd Joining private room, No. ft, leaving n polleenmn nt the door of No. 0 until proper disposal of the body should be made. In the further questioning of Joseph tho commissary brought out several Important facts. The waiter testified that after wrvlng soup to Martluex and the lady he luul not left the corri dor outride the door of No. 0 until the moment when he entered the room nnd discovered the ciline. During this In terval of perhnpx n quarter of nn hour he had moved down the corridor n short distance, but not farther than the door of No. 4. He was sure of this, because one of the doors to the ban quet room was Just opposlto the door of No, 4, nnd he had stood there listen ing to n Fourth of July speaker who was discussing the relations between Franco nnd America. "How did you stnud as you listened to the speaker? Show mo." M. Pou gcot led Joseph to the banquet room door. "Like this." answered tho waiter, nnd ho placed himself so that his back was turned to No. 0. "So you would not have seen any ono who might have come out of No. 0 at that time or gone Into No. 0?" "1 suppose not." "And If the door of No. 0 had opened while your back was turned would you have heard It!" Joseph shook his head. "No, sir: there was a lot of applauding like that" He paused as n roar of laugh ter came from across the hnll. The commissary turned quickly to one of his men. "See that they mako less noise. Ami be careful no one leaves the bauquet room on any ex cuse. I'll be there presently." Then to tbe waiter, "Did you hear any sound from No. 0 anything like a shot?" "No. sir." "Il'm! It must have been tho thun der. Now, tell me this could any one have passed you In the corridor while you stood at the bauquet room door without your knowing It?" Joseph's round, red face spread Into a grin. Tne corriuor ts narrow, sir. and I" he looked down complacently at his ample form"! pretty well till It up. don't I. sir?" "You certnlnly do. Give me n sheet of paper." And with n few rapid pen cil strokes tbe commissary drew a rough plan of the banquet room, the corridor aud tbe seven private dining rooms. lie marked carefully the two doors leading from the banquet room Into tbe corridor, tho one whero Jo seph listened, opposite No. 4 and the ono. opposite No. 0.
