CHAPTER XIX
Houletabille Invites Me to Break
fast at the Donjon Inn.
mT was not until later thnt Roulc
tabllle sent me the notebook
In which he had written nt
length the story of the phe
nomenon of the Inexplicable gallery.
On the day I arrived at the dandier
and joined hlra In his room he recount
ed to me, with the greatest detail, all
that I have related, telling me also
how he had spent several hours In
Paris, where he had learned nothing
that could be of any help to him.
The event of the Inexplicable gal
lery had occurred on the night between
the 29th and 30th of October-thut Is
to say, three days before my return to
the chateau. It was on the 2d of
November, then, that I went back to
the Glandler, summoned there by my
friend's telegram and taking the re
volvers with me.
I am now In Rouletabllle's room, and
be has finished bis recital.
While be had been telling me the
Btory I noticed him continually rubbing
the glass of the eyeglasses he had
found on the side table. From the evi
dent-pleasure he was taking in han
dling them I felt they must be one of
those sensible evidences destined to en
ter what he bad called the circle of the
right end of his reason.
When he bad finished his recital he
asked me what I thought of it I re
plied that I was much puzzled by bis
question. Then be begged me to try,
In my turn, to take my reason in band
"by the right end."
"Very well," I said. "It seems to me
that the point of departure of my rea
son would be this there can be no
doubt that the murderer you pursued
was In the gallery." I paused..
"After making so good a start, you
ought not to stop so soon," be exclaim
ed. "Come, make another effort."
"I'll try. Since he disappeared from
the galiery without passing through
any door or window, he must have es
caped by some other opening."
Rouletabllle looked at me pityingly,
smiled carelessly and remarked that I
was reasoning like a postman or like
Frederic Larsan.
Rouletabllle bad alternate fits of ad
miration and disdain for the great
Fred. It all depended as to whether
Larsan's discoveries tallied with Roule
tabllle's reasoning or not. When they
did he would exclaim. "He is really
great!" When they did not, he would
grunt and mutter, "What an ass!" It
was a petty side of the noble character
of this strange youth.
We had risen, and be led me Into the
park. When we reached the court and
were making toward the gate, the
sound of blinds thrown back against
tbe wall made us turn our beads, and
we saw at a window on tbe first floor
of the chateau the ruddy and clean
shaven face of a person I did not rec
ognize. "Hello!" muttered Itouletabllle. "Ar
thur Ranee!" He lowered bis head,
quickened bis pace, and I heard him
ask himself between bis teeth: "Was
be In the chateau that night? What
Is he doing here?"
We bad gone some distance from the
chateau when I asked him wbo this
Arthur Ranee was and bow be bad
come to know him. He referred to his
story of that morning, and I remem
bered that Mr. Arthur W. Ranee was
the American from Philadelphia with
whom be bad bad so many drinks at
the Elysee reception.
"But was he not to have left France
almost Immediately?" I asked.
"No doubt: that's why I am sur
prised to find blm here still and not
only In France, bnt above all, at the
Glandler. He did not arrive this
morning, and be did not get bere last
night He must have got here before
dinner, then. Why didn't the con
clerges tell me?"
I reminded my friend, apropos of the
concierges, that be bad not yet told me
what bad led blm to get them set at
liberty.
We were close to tbelr lodge. ' M. and
Mme. Bernler saw us coming. A frank
mile lit up their happy faces. They
seemed to harbor no ill feeling because
of tbelr detention. My young friend
asked tbem at what hour Mr. Arthur
Ranee bad arrived. Tbey answered that
they did not know be was at tbe cha
tean. He must have come during the
evening of the previous night bnt tbey
bad not bad to open tbe gate for hlra.
because, being a great walker and not
wishing that a carriage should be sent
to meet blm. be wan accustomed to get
off at the little bamlet of Saint Michel.
from wblcb be came to tbe chateau by
fray of. tbe forest He reached the
park by the grotto of Salnte Gene
vieve, over tbe little gate of which,
giving on to the park, he climbed.
As the concierges spoke I saw Roule
tabllle's face cloud over and exhibit dis
appointment a disappointment no
doubt with himself. Evidently he was
little vexed, after having worked so
much on tbe spot with so minute a
tody of tbe people and events at the
Glandler. that be had to learn now
that Arthur Ranee was accustomed to
Tlslt the chateau.
COPYRIGtTT. 1908.
BY BRENT ANO'S
"You say that M. Arthur Ranee Is
accustomed to come to the chateau.
When did he come here last?"
"We can't tell you exactly." replied
Mme. Bernler. "We couldn't know
while they were keeping us In prison.
Besides, as tbe gentleman comes to
the chateau without passing through
our gate he goes away by the way he
comes."
"Do you know when he came the
first time?"
"Oh, yes. monsieur! Nine years
ago."
"He was In France nine years ago,
then," said Rouletabllle, "and since
that lime, as far as you know, bow
many times hat he been at the Gfaa
flier?" "Three times."
"When did he come tbe last time, as
far as you know?"
"A week before tbe attempt In the
yellow room."
Rouletabllle put another question,
this time addressing himself particular
ly to the woman:
"In the grove of the parquet?"
"In tbe grove of the parquet" she
replied.
"Thanks!" said Rouletabllle. "Be
ready for me this evening."
He spoke the last words with a finger
on his Hps as If to command silence
and discretion.
We left the park and took tbe way
to the Donjon Inn.
"Do you often eat here?"
"Sometimes."
"But you also take your meals at the
chateau?"
Yes, Larsan and I are sometimes
served In one of our rooms."
Hasn't M. Stangerson ever Invited
you to his own table?"
Never."
Does your presence at the chateau
displease him?'
I don't know; but in any case, he
does not make us feel that we are in
bis way."
"Doesn't he question you?"
"Never. He Is in the same state of
mind as he was In at the door of the
yellow room when bis daughter was
being murdered and when be broke
open tbe door and did not find tbe
murderer. He Is persuaded since be
could discover nothing that there's no
reason why we should be able to dis
cover more than be did. But be baa
made It his duty since Larsan ex
pressed his theory not to oppose us."
Rouletabllle burled himself In thought
again for some time. He aroused him
self later to tell me of bow he came to
set tbe two concierges free.
"I went lately to see M. Stangerson
and took with me a piece of paper on
which was written, '1 promise, what
ever others may say. to keep In my
service my two faithful servants, Ber
nler and his wife.' 1 explained to him
that by signing that document he
would enable me to compel those two
people to speak out, and I ' declared
my own assurance of tbelr Innocence
of any part In the crime. Tbat was
also his opinion. The examining mag'
lstrate after It was signed presented
the document to the Bernlers, wbo
then did speak. Tbey said wbat I was
certain tbey would say as soon as tbey
were sure tbey would not lose tbelr
places.
"Tbey confessed to poaching' on M
Stangerson's estates, and It was while
they weie poaching, on tbe night of
tbe crime, that they were found not far
from the pavilion at the moment when
the outrage was being committed.
Some rabbits tbey caught In that way
were sold by them to tbe landlord of
the Donjon Inn, who served tbem to
his customers or sent them to Paris.
Tbat was the truth, as I bad guessed
from the first Do you remember what
I said ou entering the Donjon inn?
We shall have to eat red meat now !
I had beard the words on the same
morning when we arrived at the park
gate. You beard tbem also, but you
did not attach any Importance to tbem.
You recollect when we reached tbe
park gate that we stopped to look at a
man wbo was running by tbe side of
tbe wall, looking every minute at bis
watch. That was Larsan. Well, be
hind us the landlord of the Donjon Inn
standing on his doorstep, said to some
one Inside, 'We shall have to eat red
meat now.'
"Why that 'now? When you are. as
I am. In search of some bidden secret
you can't afford to bave anything es
cape you. You've got to know the
meaning of everything. We bad come
Into a rather out of tbe way part of
the country which bad been turned
topsy turvy by a crime, and my reason
led me to suspect every phrase that
could bear upon tbe event of tbe day.
Now.' I took to mean, "since tbe out
rage.' In tbe course of my Inquiry
therefore. I sought to find a relation
between tbnt phrase and tbe tragedy
We went to tbe Donjon inn for break
fast I repeated tbe phrase and saw
by tbe surprise and trouble ou Daddy
Mathleu's face tbat I bad not exagger
ated its importance so far as be was
concerned.
"I bad Just learned that the con
cierges bad been arrested. Daddy
Mathleu spoke of them as of dear
friends people for whom one is sorry.
That was a reckless conjunction of
Ideas. I said to myself. 'Now.' that
the concierges are arrested, 'we shall
have to eat red meat No" more con
cierges, no more game! Tbe hatred ex
pressed by Daddy Mathleu for M.
Stangerson's forest keeper a hatred
he pretended was shared by the con
verges led me easily to think of
poaching. Now. as- all the evidence
howed tbe concierges had not been In
bed at the time of the tragedy, why
were tbey abroad that night? As par
ticipants In the crime? I was not dis
posed to think so. I bad already ar
rived at tbe conclusion, by steps of
which I will tell you later that the as
sassin had bad no accomplice and that
the tragedy held a mystery between
Mile. Stangerson and the murderer, a
mystery with which the concierges
bad nothing to do.
With that theory In my mind. 1
searched for proof in their lodge,
which, as you know, I entered. I
found there under tbelr bed some
springs and brass wire. 'Ah,' I
thought, 'these things explain why
they were out In the park at night!
I was not surprised at the dogged si
lence tbey maintained before the ex
amining magistrate, even under tbe ac
cusation so grave as tbat of being ac
complices In tbe crime. Poaching
would cave them from the assize court
but It would lose them tbelr places,
and as tbey were perfectly sure of
their Innocence of the crime they
hoped It would soon.be established,
and then tbelr poaching might go ou
as usual. They could always confess
later. I, however, hastened tbelr con
fession by means of tbe document M.
Stangerson signed. Tbey gave all the
necessary 'proofs,' were set at liberty
and have now a lively gratitude for
me. Why did 1 not get them released
sooner? Because 1 was not sure that
nothing more than poaching was
against tbem. I wanted to study the
ground. As tbe days went by, my con
viction became more and more certain.
The days after the events of tbe inex
plicable gallery I bad need of help I
could rely ou, so I resolved to bave
tbem released at once."
We reached tbe Donjon Inn and en
tered It
This time we did not see the land
lord, but were received with a pleas
ant smile by tbe charming hostess.
"How's Daddy Mathleu?" asked
Rouletabllle.
"Not much better, not much better.
He Is still confined to his bed."
"His rheumatism still sticks to blm.
then?"
"Yes. Last night I was again
obliged to give blm morphine, the only
drug that gives blm any relief."
She spoke In a soft voice. Every
thing about her expressed gentleness.
She -was. Indeed, a beautiful woman,
somewhat with an air of Indolence,
with great eyes seemingly black and
blue, amorous eyes. Was she happy
with her crabbed, rheumatic husband?
The scene nt which we bad once been
present did not lead us to believe that
she was. Yet there was something lu
her bearing that was not suggestive
of defcpalr. She disappeared Into the
kitchen to prepare our repast, leaving
on tbe table a bottle of excellent cider.
Rouletabllle filled our earthenware
mugs, loaded his pipe and quietly ex
plained to me his reason for asking
me to come to tbe Glandler with re
volvers. "Yes," be said contemplatively, look
ing at the clouds of smoke be was
puffing out "yes, my dear boy, I ex
pect tbe assassin tonight."
A brief silence followed, wblcb I
took care not to Interrupt and then
he went on:
"Last night Just as I was going to
bed M. Robert Darzac knocked at my
room. When be came in be confided
to me that be was compelled to go to
Paris the next day that is, this morn
ing. The reason wblcb made this jour
ney necessary was at once peremptory
and mysterious. It was not possible
for blm to explain Its object to me. 'I
go, and yet' be added. 'I would give
my life not to leave Mile. Stangerson words when we parted, 'You may men
at this moment' He did not try to j tlon your own auspicious of the expect
blde tbat he believed ber to be once ed attack to M. Stangerson, to Daddy
more In danger. 'It will not greatly
astonish tne If something happens to
morrow night' be avowed, 'and yet I
must be absent I cannot be back at
tbe Glandler before tbe morning of the
day after tomorrow.'
"I asked him to explain himself, and
this Is all be would tell me. His antici
pation of coming danger bad come to
blm solely from the coincidence that
Mile. Stangerson bad been twice at
tacked, and both times when he bad
been absent Now a man so moved
wbo should still go away must be act
ing under compulsion must be obey
ing a will stronger than bis own. That
was bow I reasoned, and I told blm so.
He replied 'Perhaps.' I asked blm if
Mile. Stangerson was compelling blm.
He protested that she was not His de
termination to go to Paris bad been
taken without any conference with
Mile Stangerson.
"To cut the story short be repeated
that bis belief In the possibility of a
fresh attack was founded entirely on
the extraordinary coincidence. 'If any -
thing hannens to Mile. Stangerson.' he
Id, 'It would be terrible for both of
us for ber, because ber life would be
In danger; for me, because I could nei
ther defend ber from tbe attack nor
tell of where I bad been. I am perfect
ly aware of the suspicions cast on me.

The examining magistrate and M. Lar-

" 'Why do you not tell me the name

In a hesitating tone:
"'I? I know the name of the mur

"The poor man spoke In Jerks. He
was evidently suffering. 1 pitied blm,
the more because 1 felt sure that be
would rather allow himself to be kill
ed than tel! me who the murderer was.
As for Mile. Stangerson, I felt that
she would rather allow herself to be
murdered than denounce the man ff

ble gallery. The man must be doml
natlng her or both by some Inscruta

ing so much as th chance of M. Stan
gerson kuowlng that his daughter was
'held' by ber assailant. 1 made M.
Darzac understand that he had ex
plained himself sulUcicutly and that
he might refrain from telling nie any
more than he had already told me. 1
promised blm to watch through the
night. He Insisted that 1 should es
tablish an absolutely Impassable bar
rier about Mile. Staugerson's cham
ber, around the boudoir where tbe
nurses were sleeping arid around tbe
drawing room where since the affair
of tbe Inexplicable gallery M. Stauger
son bad slept. In short. 1 was to put
a cordon round the whole apartment
"From bis Insistence I gathered that
M. Darzac luteudod not only to make
It Impossible for the expected man to
reach the chamber of Mile. Stanger
son. but to make that Impossibility so
visibly clear that, seeing himself ex
pected, he would ut once go away.
i That was bow 1 Interpreted his final
Jacques, to Frederic Larsan and to
anybody In the chateau.'
"When he was gone I began to think
that I should have to use even a great
er cunning than his so that If the man
should come that night he might not
for a moment suspect that his coming
had been expected. dfrrtiiluly! I
would allow him to get In far enough,
so that, dead or alive. I might see his
far clearly. He mtu't be got r!d of.

The landlady reappeared Ht that mo -
ment. bringing lu the traditional bneon
omelet. Itouletabllle chaffed In-r h lit
tle, nnd she took the chuff with the
most charming good humor.
"She Is much Jollier when Paddy

and we were again alone Rouletabllle
j continued the tale of his confidences,

that one might have thought be bad
received an electric shock.
"Mr. Arthur Ranee!" he cried.
Mr. Arthur Rauce stood before us
calmly bowing.
CHAPTER XX.
An Act of Mile. Stangerson.
OU remember me. monsieur?"
asked Rouletabllle. Tbe
American extended his hand,
and Rouletabllle, relaxing bis
frown, shook It and Introduced Mr.
Arthur Ranee to me. He Invited blm
to share our meal.
"No, thanks. I breakfasted with M.
Stangerson."
Arthur Ranee spoke French perfect
ly, almost without an accent
"I did not expect to bave tbe pleas
ure of seeing you again, monsieur. I
thought you were to bave left France
the day after tbe reception at tbe
Elysee."
Rouletabllle and 1, outwardly Indif
ferent, listened most Intently for every
word tbe American would any.
Tho man's purplish red face, his
heavy eyelids, the nervous twltchlngs,
all spoke of bis addiction to drink.
How came It tbat so sorry a specimen
of a man should be so Intimate with
M. Stangerson?
Some days later I learned from Fred
eric Larsan who. like ourselves, was
surprised and mystified by Ranee's
appearance and reception at the cha
teauthat Mr. Itance had been an In
ebriate for about fifteen yenrs only
that It Is to say, sjnee the prufessoi
and his daughter left Philadelphia.
During the time the Stangersons lived
In America they were very Intimate
with Arthur Ranee, who was one of
the most distinguished phrenologists of
the new world. Owing to new experi
ments he had made enormous strides
beyond the science of Gall and Lava-
j er. The friendliness with wblcb he
was received at the Glandler may be
explained by tbe fact that be bad Hin
dered Mile. Stangerson a greut service
by stopping, at the peril of his own
llfo, the runaway horses of her car
riage. The immediate result of that
could, however, have been no more
than a mere friendly association with
f:e Stangersons, certainly not a love
n!air.
Frederic Larsan did not tell me
w here he had picked up this Informa
tion, but lie appeared to lie quite sure
of what he said.
