He pointed to the diagram. -Jrs true, must be true," mur mured M. Paul. "And what thenT' "Nothing. 1 guess the man saw it was onlr a shrimp he had hold of, so " lie shook him two or three times and dropped him back into his own room, and he never said a word." GoqucnU's face grew somber. "It uras the assassin," he said. "There ae doubt about It." Tho detective stopped short. "Great heavens." he cried, "1 can prove It! You say his nail 'ssarks show? TigEol stressed bis shoulders. They show as little scratches." "Utile scratches are all I want.' said the other, snapping his fingers ex citedly. "Ifs simply a question which side of his throat bears the thumb mark. We know tho murderer is a left handed man. aud, being suddenly attacked, he certainly used tho full strength of his left band in the first desperate clutch. Ho was facing the man as he took him by the throat, so If be used his left band the thumb maris mast be on the left side of the photographer's throat, whereas If a Tight banded man had dono it the thumb mark would be on the right aide." "res.- said TlgnoL "Now bring the man in here.' "Ill get him In," said the commis sary. A few moments later was brought In a thin, sleepy Httlo person wrapped In a red dressing gown. The photographer stood meekly for tospection while Coquenll studied the marks on bis face. There, plainly marked en the left side of the throat, wns n single Imprint, the curving red mark where a thumb nail bad closed bard, while on the right were prints of the fingers. "lie used his left hand, all right," said Coquenll, "and, sapristl, be had sharp nails!" "Iarblea!" mumbled tho shrimp. w I'atiently the photographer stood still wlillo the commissary and Tlguol tried to stretch their fingers over tho red marks that scarred his countenance. And neither of them succeeded. They could cover all the marks except that of the little finger, which was quite beyond their reach. Coquenll remem bered Alice's words that day as suo looked at his plaster casts. A Tery long Httlo finger hero it -was, one that must equal the length of that famous seventeenth century criminal's little finger in his collection. But this man was living! IIo had brought back Kittredgo's boots! Ho was left handed! IIo had a very long little finger! And Alice knew such a maul 1 , ( ' CMAPTER XIV. THIS MEMOBT OY A DOCI. T was a quarter past 4 and still night when Coquenll left tho Hotel dea Etraugers. He car ried tho leather bag taken from the automobile. A hundred yards behind him, in exactly similar tiros, came Papa Tlguol, peering into tho shadows with sharpest watchful ness against human shadows bent on ttarcnias M. Paul. Gloso to Notre Dame tho leader paused for bis com panies. There's nothing," he said as tho tattw Joined him. "Take the bag and wait tor sue. but keep out of eight." I Coquenll walked across the square to the cathedral. He was pleased aud coufldeut as ho rang the ulght bell a. tho archbishop's house beside the cathedral, for ho had ono precious clew ho had the' indica tion of this extraordinarily long Httlo finger, and ho did not bellovo that in all France there were two men with hands like that And be kuow there was one such man, for Alice had seen him. Where had she seen him? And presently, after a sleepy saluta tion from the archbishop's servant and a brief explanation, M. Paul was shown through a Btone passageway that connects the church with the house, and he found himself alono in Notre Dame, As he stood uncertain which way to turn the dctcctlvo heard a step and a low growl, and, peering among the arches of the choir, he saw & lantern advancing, then a figure holding tho lantern, then another crouching figure moving before tho lantern. Then be recognized Caesar. "Phce-et, phee-ct!" he whistled softly. "Good old Caesar! There, there!" murmured Coquenll, fondling tho eager head. "It's all right, Bonneton," and, coming forward, ho held out his hand. Wondering, Bonneton led the way to a small room adjoining the treasure chamber. "Hey, Francois!" He shook a sleep ing figure on a cot bed. "It's time to make the round." Francois looked stupidly at Coquenll, and then, with a yawn and a shrug of Indifference, he called to the dog, while Caesar growled his reluctance. "Ifs all right, old fellow," encour aged Coquenll. "I'll sec you again," whereupon Caesar trotted away reassured. "Now, then," began M. PauL "I want to ask about that girl who sells candles. She boards with you. You know she's In love with this Ameri can who Is in prison?" "Iknow." "She came to see me the other day. and the result of her visit was well, It has made a lot of trouble. What I'm going to say you mustn't tell a soul least of all your wife." "You can trust me." To begin with, who Is the man with the long little finger that sbo told mo about?' Wby, that's Groener," answered Bonneton simply. "Groener? Oh, her cousin?" "Yes." (To Be Continued.)
