Y jfA ' STEVENSON T - Comp&.ny 5 There was nothing more to be done that night, for a glance at my watch showed me the lateness of the hour, f As I emerged from the pier I suddenly . found myself very weary nd very ;. hungry, so I called a cab and was driv en direct to my rooms. A bath and din- ' nr ft met nn nsrnin. nnd finallv I et- : tied down with my pipe to arrange the events of the day. I Certainly I had progressed.. I- bad t undoubtedly got on the track of the fugitives; I had found out all that I could reasonably have hoped to find out. And yet my exultation was short lived. Admitted that -1 was on their track, how much nearer success had I i got? I knew that they had sailed for France, but for what part of France? They would disembark at Havre. How I was I, reaching Havre two weeks later, to discover which direction they had taken? Suppose they had gone to Paris, as seemed most probable, how could I ever hope to find them there? ' Even if I did find them, would I be In time to checkmate Martigny? For a time I paused, appalled at the magnitude of the task that lay before me In all France to find three people! . But, after all, it might not be so great Most probably these women were from one of the towns Holladay and hi3 wife had visited during their stay in JPrance. Which towns they were I, of 'course, had no means of knowing, yet I felt certain that some means of dis co rer;.: tliem would present Itself. That utust be uiy work for the morrow. A half hour passed, and I sat lost in speculation, watching the blue smoke curling upward, striving vainly to pen etrate the mystery. For I was as far as ever from a solution of it. Who were these people? What was their aim? How had they managed to win Miss Holladay over to their side, to persuade her to accompany them, to flee from her friends above all, from our junior partner? How had they caused her change of attitude toward him? Or had they really abducted her? Was there really danger of foul play; danger that she would fall a victim as well as her father? Who was Mar tigny? And, above all, what was the plot? What did he hope to gain? What was he striving for? What was this great stake for which he risked so much? To these questions I could find no reasonable answer. I was still groping aimlessly in the dark, and at last in sheer confusion I put down my pipe, turned out the light and went to bed. CHAPTER XIII. MR. GRAHAM'S congratulations next morning quite over whelmed me. "I never expected such com plete and speedy success, Mr. Lester," he said warmly. "You've done splen did work." I pointed out to him that, after all, my success was purely the result of ac cident. Had I been really clever X should have instantly suspected what that sudden seizure on the station plat form meant I should have hurried back to the scene and followed Mar tigny as I atm called bim In my t1itiwj,N t tto hoapttaj oa the dance uu'Ul tto taf a63M. Instead Signature of 2 A Mystery Of Two Continents me; i snbuia nave been as far as ever from a' solution 6f 'the mystery. I Irembled to think upon what a slender thread my .victory., hstd hung! But my chief would not listen. He declared that a man must be judged by his achievements !and that he judged m by mine-; ' ' . "Let us find- out how our friend is," I said at last, so the hospital was called up. t.We were 'informed that the pa tient was stronger, but would not be able to leave his bed for two or three days. v .'. o ' ' . "The Jourdains may tell him ' of my call," I said, v' "They'll 'suspect some thing when I don't return today, yet they may wait for me a day or two lon gerthey have my money and one day Is all I want. . If s just possible that thcy may keep silent altogether. They have nothing to gain by speakmg if s plain that they're not in the conspiracy. Anyway, tomorrow I'll be out of reach," Mr. Graham nodded. "Yea that's plainly the next step. You must follow them to France but where In France will you look for them? I didn't think of that before. Why, the search is just beginning! I thought it impossible to accomplish tvhat you have accomplished, but that seems easy now beside this new prob lem." "Yes," I assented. "Still It may not be so hard as It looks. We must try to find out where the women have gone, and I believe Rogers can help us. My theory Is that they're from one of the towns which the Holladays visited when they were abroad, and Mr. Hol laday must have kept in touch with his office, more or less, during that time." My chief sprang up and seized his hat. "The very thing!" he cried "There's no luck about that bit of reasoning, Mr. Lester. Come, I'll go with you." "Only," I added as we went down to gether, "I very much fear that the search will lead to Paris, for Martigny Is undoubtedly a Parisian." "And to find a person In Paris" I did not answer. I only shut my teeth together and told myself for the hundredth time that I must not fall. Rogers had been carrying on the routine work of the business since his employer's death and was supervising the settlement of accounts and the thousand and one details which must be attended to before the business could be closed up. We found him in the private office and stated our errand without delay. "Yes," he said, "Mr. Holladay kept in touch with the office, of course. Let me see What was the date?" "Let us look for the first six months of 1876," I suggested. He got down the file covering that period and ran through the letters. "Yes, here they are," he said after a moment. "In January, he writes from Nice, where they seem to have re mained during February and March. About the middle of April they started north here's a letter dated Paris, April 1 and from Paris they went to a plc ealted Stretat. Tbay remained than ttMwb Hay. Jaa aa Zha?

"Very well, sir," he said, and we left th room. "Bat why didn-'tyou let him go far ther?" asked Mr.. Graham. a ;we. left the building. . . ,-.. : "Because I think rve found .the place," sir," I "answered. "Did you notice th time they "stayed at Etre tat covers the period of Miss Holla day's birth, with which, I'm convinced, these people were in' some way con cerned. We must, look up Etretat.? A. map at the office showed ,us that it was a little fishing hamlet and sea side resort on theshore of the English channel not far north of Havre. "My theory is," I said, ."that when the time of her confinement approach ed Mr. Holladay brought his wife to Paris to secure the services of an ex perienced physician perhaps, or per haps a nurse or linen, or all of them. That done, they proceeded to Etretat, which they may have visited before and knew for a quiet place with a bracing atmosphere and good climate just such a place as they would nat urally desire. Here the daughter , was born, and here, I am convinced, ' we shall find the key to the mystery, though I'm very far from guessing what that key is. But I have a premo nition you may smile if you wish that I'll find the clew I'm seeking at Etretat. The name has somehow struck an answering chord in me." The words, as I recall them now, seem more than a little, foolish and A. tnap ahowed us thai ' it1 was" on ' tin ' -shore of the English cnahntt i k self assured; yet, ... in light of ,tijv -result well, at any rate, my chief. showed no disposition to smile, but sat for some moments in deep thought. "I don't doubt that you're, jrigh. Mr. Lester," he said at last VAt; any.ate I'm ready to trust your experience, since I have absolutely none In this kind of work. I don't need to say that I have every confidence in you. I'll have a letter of credit prepared at once, o that you may not' want for money Shall we say five thousand to start with?" . I stammered that I was certain that would bf more than enough, but he silenced me with a gesture. "Yqu'11 find foreign travel more ex pensive than you think." he said. "It may be, too, that you'll find that money will help !you materially with your in vestigations. I want you to have all rou may need don't spare it When pou need more don't hesitate to draw 3h ua." I thanked him and was alout to take my leave, for I had some packing to io and some private business to ar range, when a message came from Dr. lenklnson. Mr. Graham smiled as he read it "Eoyce is belter," he said; "much better. He's asking for you, and Jen klnson seems to think you'd better go to him, especially If you can bring food news." - "Just the thing!" I cried. "I must go to bid him goodby, In any event" And half an hour later I was admitted to our junior's room. He was lying back in a big chair and seemed pale and weak, but he flushed up when he saw me and held out his hand eagerly. "I couldn't wait any longer, Lester," he began. "It seems an age since I've seen you. I'd have sent for you be fore this, but4I knew that you were working." "Yes," I smiled; T was working." "Sit down and tell me about It" he commanded. "All about It every de tail." 'To Iw (!!iliiiiieit.) Invaluable for Rheumatism.
