As you say, the murderer 3eeked through tho first hole while he united far the second to be bored; so, amftaraUy, he fired through the, bole "wbere feJa eye was. That was bis first jceat xtlstake."

"Persons who know about tho crime?" "Possibly." "Il'm! Do these persons know what covered the holes In No. 7?" "A Japanese print," "And In No. 0?" V. "Some yellow hangings." "Ah!" exclaimed Coquenll In sur prise. "Do they know why Martinez bored these holes?" "To please the woman." was tho prompt reply. "Did she want Martinez killed T"" " "No." 'Then why did sho want the holes bored?" "She wanted to see Into No. 7." It was extraordinary. "What do you waut with mo?" "The persons I represent" "Say the person you represent," In terrupted Coquenll. "A criminal of this type acts alone." "As you like." answered tho other carelessly. "Then the person I repre sent wishes you to withdraw from this case." The messago was preposterous. "Naturally," retorted Coquenll. "Tell your friend or employer that I am only mildly interested in his wishes." The dark bearded mnu answered, quite unruffled, "Ah. I may bo able to heighten your interest" Tbe stron ger drew from his coat pocket a large. thick envelope fastened with an clas tic band and handed It to tbe detective. Coquenll's curiosity was stirred. "What desperate purpose lurked be hind his self confident mask? Could It be that he knew the assassin or or was he the assassin? Wondering thus, M. Paul opened tho tendered envelope and saw that it con tained a bundle of thousand franc notes. "There is a large sum here." "Fifty thousand francs. It's for you. and as much more will be handed you the day you sail for Brazil. This- sum Is a bonus in addition to the salary already fixed. And, remember, you have a life position there with a bril liant chance of fame." Coquenll snapped bis fingers. "I don't care that for fame. I'm going to work out this case for the sheer Joy of doing it" Ton will never work out thin case!" "Why not?" "Because you will not be allowed to. It's doubtful if you could work it out. but there's a chance that you could, and wo don't purpose to take that chance." ! He paused as if to check too vehe-I ment an utterance, and M. Paul caught a threatening gleam In his eyes that he long remembered. "Why?" "If you do you will be thwarted at every turn; you will be made to suffer in ways you do not dream of, through those who are dear to you, through your dog, through your mother" "You dare" cried CoquenIL "We dare anything," flashed the stranger. "I'm daring something now, nm I not? Don't you supposo I know what you are thinking? Well, I take tbe risk because becauso you are in telligent It is hopeless for you to struggle against our knowlcdgo and our resources, quite hopeless. Wo have, for example, tho fullest Informa tion about you and your llfo down to iio smallest detail." (To Be Continued.) ASHLAND, April 20. It is prob nble tliht (he city bonru of education will soon tnke up in earnest the pro ject for n new hih school building; for Ashlnmi. Tho nmttor cmue be fore tho board officially for tho ftrst time two months ago, when a mo tion prevailed to proceed with pre liminaries in tho way of plans, site, etc., but tto definite action of any kind has been taken as yet. Au ac tive investigation of suitable and available sites for tho structure. which it U peiiornlly agreed shall be the finest school building in the city and a credit in every respect to the community, will probably bo begun at an early date. The general nature and extent of tho building will be easily agreed upon, it is. plain, in comparison with the selection of the site. Tho board has not yet called for a formal submission of proposi tions to furnish the grounds for tho new building, but many sites have beeu suggested and in some instances it is said that options have been se cured so that certain sites can be formally offered to tho board. There is n strong demand that ample grounds bo one of the first requisites for the sito finally choseu. and five or ten acres arc suggested as "ample." But great difficulty in finding such a site in anything like a central location is so apparent at once that it is hardly considered feasible, however desirable it ranv be. 1 NOTICE.
