against his inclination'.-"
"Certainly; but 1 have never known
of Ita going to the length of a murder."
“Nor I, I muat confess, though that

such a case— though I don't believe it

“Certainly It might; and you would

“Exactly," replied Cassagne. "Now the

“Go on," again said D'Auburon, a* th*

“Very likely. 11s may be right under

But our opjH>rtunities for investigation
are not yet exhausted by any incaus.

to be interested parties, sufficiently inter

“And they are'/”

the American law, both of them would

' “ Whom will you look for first?”

“ Where will you search for him?”
“In Paris.”
( “ Why in Paris?”
‘‘Because the priest told me the woman
who brought him up went to P a ris; be
sides he was a wild young fellow, and
all wild young fellows come to Paris
eventually. It is simply a question of
time.”
“ Where shall you begin to look for
him?”
"Where all young men of his stamp
eventually are known. Take my word
for it, we shall find some record of Henry
Graham's son, Philip Graham, on the
records of the police.”
C H A PTER X V II.
Shortly before ten o’clock on the fol
lowing morning, Cassagne and D’Auburon
entered the bureau, where under the di
rect supervision of the commissary the
records of the department of police arc
preserved for future reference. Cassagne
was evidently well known to the officers
of ths bureau. In a f**w minutes such
books and indices as he required were
placed at his disposal.
D’Auburon stood by intently watching
his principal as he turned to the index
page of a huge volume. Reaching the
letter "G ” he ran his eye rapidly over the
names, which were arranged in the order
of their date of entry. He started In at
the top of the page full of confidence;
• s bis finger traveled down the column,
however, his fa«*« grew per«*eptibly longer.
When he reached the bottom, he gave au
dible expression to hie disappointment by
exclaiming :
“Philip Graham either was never un
der police surveillance at all, or he chang
ed bis name when he came to Paris.”
As the detective uttered these words,
an idea suddenly occurred to D'Auburon.
“Look inder the name of the woman
in whose charge he was placed. If he
took any other name than his own, what
nioio natural than he should take hers?"
"That’s a good suggestion.” said Cas-
sague. “ Her name was Marie I*a Seur,
as I recollect it—yee. that was it. Marie
I.a Seur. I'll trouble you for that *L‘
volume.’’
D’Auburon handed It to him, and the
search commenced afresh. Presently Cas
sagne exclaimed :
“ Here is Philip I a Seur. I shouldn’t
be surprised if you were right. Page
fifty three.”
“Hold on a mlnilte. Don’t be diaap-
pointed if it shouldn't prove to be the
man. 14 Seur is a common enough name,
and there are over two millions and a
half of people ia Paris to draw from.
Here’s page fifty-three; now let me tee
what it aaya.”
The two men leaned over the book as
they scanned the page before them. Then
they read
“Philip Iat Seur, placad under police
surveillance by order of the commissary."
“ We have him !'* «»claimed D'Auburon.
in a tone of triumph. “ YVa have him
now. for certain.”
“ Not too fast, my friend; net too fast.
Lat’a see what thia foot note ia.”
At the bottom of the page was written
*n red ink :
‘Toulon, seventeen yeara, forgery.”
An expression of intent« disappoint
ment spread itself over the face of the
detective. D'Auburon. also, understood.
Philip La Seur could have served out
but little more than half hit sentence.
Consequently be could have had no band
in the commission of the crime.
For a few minutes both men were «n-
tlro.y nonplused.
At length Cassagne,
who had again been thinking deeply, ex
claimed ;
T shall not be satisfied until I have
examined the atata papers relating to this
trial, at tbo conclusion of whloh Philip
La Seur was sent to Toulon.”
"You will waste your time,” replied
D* A n b u ro n .

“I must confess that did not even occur

“ Well, it occurred to me; and in any

in his own behalf—to speak, for instance,
of his former good character—and who

’T o the Palai9 de Justice.”
As they ere About to step into a cab, a
newsboy approached them, crying :
"Horrible murder! A body found in
the Seine!”
“Buy a paper, D’Auburon,” said Cas
sagne. as he leaped into the vehicle.
D’Auburon did as requested, and jump
ing into the cab after his friend, spread
the sheet just wet from the press out
upon his knees.
“ Ah !*’ he ejaculated, “this plot thick
ens with a vengeance. Whom do you think
the murdered man is?”
“ I cannot guess.”
“ It is Vougeot, the detective whom the
prefect of police placed on the track of
Jules Chabot.”

It was not a voluminous document, the
report of the trial and conviction of
Philip La Seur. To be sure, no one from
a perusal of it could have argued the
identity of the prisoner in the case with
the Philip Graham of Relliers. But were
the facts gleaned from the evidence con
clusive? Certainly not.
There were
points of identity, however, which were
quite marked; the age of the prisoner
nearly corresponded with that of the man
they were looking for; lie had not been
all his life in P aris; he had neither father
nor mother living— but beyond that there
was little enough about his family his
tory, The court had offered to appoint
a lawyer to defend him, which offer the
prisoner had refused and had made a not
unable speech in his own behalf, which
in all likelihood had been the means of
sensibly influencing the court, for in
pronouncing sentence, the judge had ex
pressed his regret that the prisoner had
misused bis taleuts to commit the crime
with which he stood charged. Though
he examined all the papers connected
with the case, Cassagne was unable to
discover anything by which the identity
of the two persons could be more fully
established.
“We have yet the locket.” he said, at
length, “hich iK*rhaps may help us.”
“But it is the locket of Henry, not
Philip Graham,” said D’Auburon.
“ I have not forgotten that,” replied
the detective. “But a family likeness is
a strong thing sometimes. This portrait
of Henry Graham is undoubtedly a good
likeness. Recollect that Dr. Mason, the
laundress, the janitor at Blols and the
priest at Belliers have all recognized it as
his portrait. It was taken when he was
quite a young man. Sometimes father
and son, at the same age, very closely re
semble each other. If there should be a
strong likeness between the portrait and
Philip La Seur whom should you take
the latter to be?”
“Why, Philip Graham, of course, as we
have all along hoped; but what of that?
We have no portrait with which to com
pare it.”
“You forget,” replied Cassagne, “the
admirable collection of photographs at
police headquarters.”
“ Which is under the strict surveillance
of the prefect of police. Do you sup
pose he would allow us to look at them,
when our success means his defeat? Not
exactly ; why, we could never get beyond
the door.”
“I will take care of that,” replied M.
Cassagne.
M. Cassagns. on parting with his
friend, buttoned up his coat with the
air of a man who prepares himself for
energetic action, and passiug across the
river, plunged into the most intricate re
cesses of the Latin Quarter.
Before
crossing the river, however, he had stop
ped at a famous confectioner’s and pur
chased a box of bon-bons. What did M.
Cassagne want with such things?
Arrived at a house in the Rue Bat-
tiney, M. Cassagne stepped inside the
hallway and pressed his finger on a small
white button. The sound of an electric
bell ringing upstairs was almost immedi
ately followed by a voice exclaiming
down the speaking tube:
“ Who is there?”
“ Is that Madame Cresson?” inquired
the detective, In a low but distinct voice.
“ It is.”
“ I am Alfred Cassagne. Let me come
upstairs. I want to see you about im
portant business.”
A clanging sound was heard, and a
black door which had hitherto prevented
ingress to the stairway, released by a
spring, swung slowly back upon its
binges. The detective stepped on to the
stairs, and, closing the door after him
with some care, ascended to the second
story.
A small, dark-complexioned woman,
apparently about twenty-five years of age,
opened the door of one of the apartments,
and invited him to enter. The room was
neatly furnished and was evidently one
of a suite. At a table near one of the
windows a little girl sat doing sums on a
slate. She had the black hair of her
mother;
a
beautiful, saucy, piquant
mouth; eyea of a deep, scintillating b ljo .
and a little figure that was the very per
fection of childish grace. Sha arose on
tho entrance of the detective, and ran
toward him, bolding out both hands.
“Ah! Taps Alfred, how do you do?”
she exclaimed. “Have you brought mo
some bon-bons?”
“A kisa first.” cried the detective, lift
