THE MOVISQ MCTOTIK. lATEIt tbe detective noticed that the prisoner glanced anxiously at the clock. It was a qunrtcr past 11. "We will have the visual test now," vmM Hautevillo. 'Take the prisoner to Dt. Duprat's laboratory," ho directed the guard. Passing down tho wide staircase, otrangcly silent now, they entered n Jong, narrow passageway leading to a Tmoto wing of the Palais do Justice. "I hope this goes off well," whis pered tho Judge uneasily. "You don't think they hare forgotten anything?" Trust Papa Tlgnol to obey orders," xeplled CoqucniL "Ah!" ho started nd gripped his companion's arm. "Do 70 remember what I told you about those alleyway footprints about the pressure marks? Look!" and ho point ed ahead excitedly. "I knew It! He lias gout or rheumatism just touches that como and go. He had It that xlgBt when ho escaped from tho An seata, and ho has It now. See!" Tke judge obsenred the prisoner carefully and nodded In agreement. - Sfeere was no doubt about It As bo -walked Groener was limping notice ably on his left foot! Dr. Duprat was waiting for them In Us laboratory, absorbed in recording lie results of his latest experiments. ' kind eyed, grave faced man was tkte, who, for all his modesty, was Aubous over Europe ns n brilliant .worker in psychological criminology. Entering tho laboratory, they found themselves In a large room, quite dark, aave for an electric lantern at one cad that threw a brilliant circle on a akeet stretched at the other end. Tbe Meat reflected from this sheet showed tte dim outlines of a tiered amphithe ater before1 which was a long table aaread with strange looking lnstru- ats. "Notre Dame church." So fur the beats had come uniform ly about one In n second, for the man's pulso was slow. At each beat the liquid In tho tube shot up six luchi and then dropped six Inches, but al tho view of Notre Uatnc the column rose only three Inches, then dropped back aud shot up seven Inches. The doctor nodded gravely, while Coqucnll, with breathless Interest, with a morbid fascination, watched tho beating of this red column. It was like the beating of red blood. "And thlsr As the picture changed there was a quiver lu the pulsating column, a ties Itatlon with n quick fluttering nt the bottom of the stroke; then the red line shot up full nine inches. M. Paul glanced at the sheet and saw a perfect reproduction of private room No. 0 lu rho Ansonla. And slowly as they look ed two holes uppeared In the wall. Then a dim shape took form upon the floor, more and more distinctly until the dissolving lens brought n rutin's body Into clear view, n bod' stretched face downward In a dark red pool that grew and widened, slowly staining nnd wetting the polished wood. "Groeuer." said the magistrate, "do you recognize this room?" "No." But the column was pulsing wildly. (To Bo Continued.) No store is too small to afford a campaign of classified advertising. No storo will remnln small after such a campaign haj progressed favorably for a time. CITY NOTICES. "Everything Is ready," said Dr. Du acatt. "Is this the er the subject?" M glanced at the prisoner. HauteTille nodded. "Please bring him over here. That's light in front of tho lantern." Then fee spoke gently to Groener, "Now, my friend, we are not going to do any thing that will cause you the slightest ;pln or Inconvenience," For some moments he studied tbe prisoner In silence. "Interesting, ve-ry Interesting," mur mured tho doctor. "Especially tho iobe of this car! I will leave a noto about It for Bertillon himself. Please -tarn a little for tho back of the head. fTbanks! I must study this head when we have time. Ve-ry remarkable. We Jaust have these off," he pointed to the handcuffs. "Also tho coat. Don't be alarmed. There! Now, I want the left arm bare abo.ve the elbow." When these directions had been carried out "Dr. Duprat pointed to a heavy wooden chair. "Pleaso sit here," he went on, "and allp your left arm into this leather aleeve." "Why must I sit la this chair?" ask ed Groener. "Why do you want my arm In that leather thing?" "Somo pictures of persons and places will be thrown on that sheet, and as each ono appears I want you to say what it is. Most of tho pictures are familiar to every one." "But the leather sleeve?" "Tho leather sleeve is like tho stop watch; it records your emotions. Sit -flown!" Groener hesitated. "I want to know Jiow it records my emotions." The magistrate answered. "There is a pneumatic arrangement," he ex plained, "by which tho pulsations of your heart and the blood pressure In ;your arteries are registered automat ically. Now, then! I warn you if you 'don't sit down willingly well, you had better sit down." Then Groener sat down. Quickly tho assistant adjusted tho leather sleeve over tbe bared arm. Immediately a familiar scene ap peared upon tho sheet, a colored pho tograph of tho Place do la Concorde "What is it?" asked tho doctor pleas aatly. Tho prisoner was silent. "You surely rccognlzo this picture, Look! The obellskand tho fountain, the Tullerles gardens." "Tho Place do la Concorde," an swered Groener sullenly. Tho plcturo changed to n view of tho Grand Opera House, and at tho sumo s&ornent a point of light appeared in Hie headpleco back of tho chair. It was shaded so that the prisoner could sot see It, nnd It illuminated a grad uated white dial on which was a glass tube about thirty Inchps long, the whole resembling a barometer. Inside the tubo a red column moved regularly up and down, up and down, in steady "beats, aud Coqueull understood that this column was registering tho beating of Greener's heart. Standing behind the chair, tho doctor, tho magistrate and tho detective could at tho same time watch tho pulsating column nnd tbe pictures on tho sheet, but the pris oner could not seo tho column. "What la that?" asked the doctor. Groener answered at onco, "The Grand Opera IIouso." "Good! Now, another." "Tho Bastille columu." x "And thla?"
