The Roupell Mystery By A u s t y n Granville CIUPTKIt II. An hour had elapsed since Mme. Kou pell' departure. Harriet N'ehlon iw softly, and, opening I lie window wltli Krcat caution lot It should squeak upoa II Iron hinge, looked out agiln upon the front of the house. Kvrrj thins wn. enveloped In n Hood of moonlight. The fine grasses Uoii the lawn glittered Ilk spear of Ice with the heavily falling dew drops. The cnll of a night blnl to It mate was the only sound th.it broke the stillness. The beauty of the night touched her deeply, and the song of the nightingale mora profoundly jot. She leaned her head against the nlmlow frame ml her (light form shook with suppress rl sobs. The thought came that every minute' delay would make It more illtli cult for her loer to escape from the house. In a few hours the Ullage would be st.rrlng. He would le een by some peasant going early afield, an he left the (round. She muil at once summon him from bin hiding place. In a few min utes bo could be cone, aud she would breathe freely again. Advancing on tiptoe to the door of the chamber, she turned tbe handle softly and stepped out Into the passage. The house wax perfectly quiet. In the aeml dark ness b crept timidly up the corridor, feeling her way with the tip of her fin ger against the old oaken wainscoting. At hut her foot struck against a door rent. She tried to recollect what door mat It wa. She stooped and paiued her hand over It. It was an old-fashioned rag mat of American make, such as one eer In the bousea of middle clau farm ers in New Kngland. It bad been her lover'a request to bate such a thin: at the door of his room. It reminded him of hi old home across the sea. It was II right. This was tb apartment she wanted. She placed her finger upon the handle of the door, opened It a little way, and called softly: -Chariest" To her surprise there was no answer. She opened the door wider yet. and went In. The moonlight, shining In through the window streamed over the carpet and made every portion of the chamber plain ly visible. She glanced quickly around. To her intense astonishment the room was empty. Trembling with fear and ex citement she again Issued forth, and stood once more In tbe corridor. At the very moment that she did so, a pistol shot reverberated loudly through the chateau. And then from all parts of the bouse Its Inmate rushed hurriedly. It was a terror-stricken assemblage of men and women, aroused In the dead of the nlgbt by that sharp, ominous appall ing sound. In the supreme quiet of the chateau tbe pistol shot had rung out with terrible distinctness. Though terrified beyond measure In tbe almost certain knon ledge that some dreadful tragedy had taken place. Harriet Weldon did not hesitate a moment. Dashing along tbe corridor she flung aside the heavy drap eries wblcb separated Mme. ltouiH'a Sleeping apartment from ber sitting room, and bravely entered. Fare to face, M. Chabot and her lover -were standing. On the floor betweer. tlieui, lying at full length, her face turn ol upward, ghastly In tbe dim light of the solitary candle, lay Mme. Itoupell. From n bullet wound In her forehead, a little Mood wa slowly owing on to the floor timl matting with It crimson flood the jrray, waving and carefully combed hair. The room seemed suddenly to All with peopJ all looking through a kind of ml.t, A ghastly, unwholesome pallor was on each face. Tbe ordlnnry proprieties of life were set at naught. Tbe conten llooalltle of drei were forgotten. Kuilly vaa bending over the prostrate woman, lmr flue feature pale a death, but set n a marble, and showing no trace of tear or womanly weakness. She seemed the only collected one In tbe room; all the rest stood gasping and staring, a help Ie, bewildered, frightened group. Kmlly evinced no surprise at seeing Van I.Ith there so unexpectedly, as everyone else did. With much presence of mind, she at once turned her attention to the sufferer, to aee what could bo done for her. She gaie order clearly and rapidly, and with a marvelous self-command. "Lift ber up and place ber on tbe bed. Keep ber bead raised. This pillow so. llrlng ma wnter, quickly." She bathed tbe cold, inanimate face; she folded ber handkerchief up Into a wad and placed It over tbe fatal spot. Slut bound over it as tightly a possible a long bandage torn from the white cov erlet. Then she turned to Jean, the coachman, who, hearing the disturbance from the adjoining stables, bad rushed Into the house accompanied by the gur bVuer. '"fake tho fastest horse you have and ride to tbe village. Send Dr. Crolzet up here; and then keep right straight on into I'arl. Here, toko this with you." fibo turued to the writing table and hastily penued the following note: "PJeose come to us immediately, and brine with you the best nurgeon jou cuu bid. Aunt Ituth lm been shot I feur fatally. Come at once, I beg of jou, or you may bo too late. "EMILY WKMJO.N." She folded the note and addressed it to "Dr. Paul Mason, "Hue de Iteverdy, No. 21." "How long will It take you to deliver that?" aha asked, as she banded It to the coachman. "It Is fourteen miles," replied tbe man. "I can do It In an hour and a half," "1 can coyer the distance In half tbe Uau," exetaUsed Van I.Ith, eagerly tep fdi terwaad. He had bees etaadiog .uitxly by Harriet, endeavoring to com ort ber. "(lit me the note, I will go at once." Kmlly was about to band It to him. when the voice of M. Chabot win heard mled in marked rcnuttMtmucc He sptke "lowly, deliberately, and a Clmrle Van I. Kb listened, he felt that each, word was an Iron link In that chain which was oon to bind him hand and foot, and hold him up to the world as n murderer. "Monsieur Van I.Ith must not lente .'his house' until the shooting of Mnd.ime Itoupell ha been imretlgaled by the proper authorities." Tbe suddenness of this accusation, the horror of It. the farts which, with Its ut terance, Instantaneously arose In tho mind of Van I.llb and arrayed themselves remorselessly against him, deprived him for the moaient of tbe wwcr of reply. In the dead "silence that ensued M. Cha hot turned and dispatched the coachman on hU errand, adding In an Imperative tone : " "After you have called up the doctor, stop at Monsieur Itrvell's, the major, ex plain briefly what has In owned, then go to Monsieur Delorme's, the Jnttlce ol the peace. Tell him. too. Ilemember, madame'a life may depend on the quick ness or your movements." M. Chabot, whom one would never have suspected of being cast In an heroic mold. wa undoubtedly the coolest person in the room. Van Lltb. fully conscious of the awful peril In which he stood, again essa)ed to speak. M. Chabot interrupted Mm. He did It politely; but there wai no mistaking his firmness. The servants thought It admirable and his knowledge of law, ah! was It not prodigious! "Monsieur Van I.llb. you may be a per fectly Innocent man. If so. It will be easy enough for you to explain ever thing presently to tbe mayor, whom I have sent for. In the meantime, the fact of your apiarance here at such an hour as this, under circumstances which lay you open to grave suspicion, make it my duty, as a citizen, to forbid jour departure. "Monsieur Chabot!" ejaculated Har riet. "Whit do you mean? You surely don't believe that Charles that Mon sieur Van I.Ith has done this horrible thing" The Frenchman shrugged hU high sbouhkrs Just a little, and showed his white teeth as he smiled just a little, In a deprecating manner. "Mam'selle must not blame me. I am simply doing my duty." "O, this must not be," exclaimed the girl, now almost unnerved with appre hension. "I can explain all I can clear blm " Hut her wrist was selied In Van I.Ith' grasp. "Mam'selle can explain J" bemn Cha. bot, pricking up his little ears like a fox terrier. "Mam'selle will explain nothing." re turned Van I.Ith, meaningly regarding tbe Parisian. "Then perhaps monsieur can" "When tbe proper time comes, ye. To you. jou sneaking cur, not one syllable." The Frenchman's fare took on a ghast ly color, lie stammerrd out a few unln telllglbte words, as one who In the heat of a terrible pnlon imuim-s to find Ihe most stinging epithet. Hut an exclama tion from Kmlly Weldon checked both men Instantly. She had been bending over the prostrate form of the Injured woman. N'ow she looked up, the enhn of a great despair In her face, tlw first tear she had shed glistening In her fine eyes. "0. Harriet." she cried, "she I dead. I shall never hear her tolce again." Tbe girl' grief was something terrible to wllne. Harriet stole softly to her sister side, and, putting her arms about her, strove to comfort her. "Let us leave them," said Van Mth to M. Chabot, who stood awed and hum bled In Ihe presence of such aCllctlon. And side by side the two men, the Frenchman and the American, the ac cuser and the accused, went out from the chamber, leaving the living and de spairing alone with their sacred dead. CIIAITKIt III, Victor Lablamhe, the Parisian prefect of police, was a man who united within himself qualities not often found con joined In the same Individual, for while lie was a sagacious and vten brilliant theorist, he possessed at the same time a thorough practical knowledge of hi busl liewi. In the course of hi long career on the (ioIIco he had risen, by ability alone, from a comparallctely obscure to Ills present prominent position. When called upon to unravel a uijsterlous crime, be generally adopted a certain theory, cnl pursued it with tbe persistency of n bloodhound. It was the arrival of this ollicer that a little group of ptuple In side, and a promiscuous crowd of nbout two hundred of the Inhabitant of Vllle neute who were asueinhled outside the chateau Impatiently a waited. A sudden hush fell upon tho gathering on tho lawn as, about nu hour after day break, n dark-colored, unpretentious road cart turned Into the avenue. M. Victor I.ablanthe had at once responded In per son to the call inailo upon him. The reeking flank and foam-covered side of the animal In the shaft sufficiently at tested the speed at which tho distance between the village and the metropoll had been traversed. M, Chabot, cool and collected a errr, wa the first to receive the prefect. lie conducted him Into Ihe reception room. The major and M. Delorme, the justice of the peace, were sipping tbelr coffee In the dining room. Fearful that be might In some way compromise her, Van Tilth had signed to Harriet not to come near dm. mul she now sat. In s!etit, trnrlrsa .rlef, with her arm about I'mdy's waist, it tl window sett of Ihe library. I'Im minutes after the nrrlxnl of tha parhirmi at his lodgings In the Hue da it'xerdj. Dr. Paul Mawm was on the, roiid to the iluiteau. lie hail rased lor a itoment on the face of bis old friend, "She must lne died lustnntly," he re iwrkd, ni he turued mully nH M. le prefect was now at liberty to ak '. question be chiwe. le did not rare o ask nuv question nt present, lie mi ild go Into the room where the major vus. and hear what he bad to sny, "llae jou esamlued Ihe prisoner" ns the first nutation he propounded to that (unci binary.

He lias the right tu ualro the preliminary examination before the Jus tice, of course, but he Is Imnlly wise In this Instance. A plain explanation of bow be enme to lie In the chateau at that time of night might go far toward ac quitting him that Is." he added, "If It Is capable of explanation." M. Victor IibUnche allowed the wor thy magistrate to ramble on. When that grlitleman bad quite finishnl, be Mid "You had better tell the prisoner and the principal witnesses to get ready to take the early train for Paris. The prrs rmv of jour local phjslclan will be nec essary also, so tint he ran testify to the nature of the wound by which Madame Itoupell met her death. In the meantime. I will mike an examination of the seen of the murder." "That will lie unnecessary. 1 have al rrady made one." " ith whs.t result, ntrfnslrur le malrei" 'The finding of this pistol, with which, doubtless, the murder was committed." "Ia-I me look at It." Tbe prefect lik the weapon, and ex nmlurd It carefully. "It Is of American manufacture," he said. "Did you find anything else)" "Nothing except some private aper of Mailame Itou-ll's scattered on the floor of her chimber." "Where Is the joung man who has been accused of this crime" "He Is under a strong guard at pres ent, In the butter' pantry. IK you wish to see him" "No. I think not." he said. The judge sits at ten o'clock, win I be will hear what he has to vijr. .Men lit line, though, a I said, I wish to make an Inspection of the preiles." The major at once bestirred himself, and conducted M. I.blanette upstair In the mom where the body of Madime Itoupell wa" stlH lylosT. Nothing had hern ' moved. Men the blood which had soaked into the hearth rug bad not been wiped up: an overturned chair lay where It had fallen; some (sipcr were scattered about the room. "Do not disturb them," said M. !. blanche, pointing to the aprr. "Whll they simply Indicate bow Madame (ton prll was engaged at Ihe time of the shoot ing, and 'rhap have no bearing on Ih question of who committed Ibis crime, still It U our rule to move nothing. "And as to who did commit It, I think there can be no doubt," remarked Im mayor. "ITiere Is alwnys room for doubt In any case," replied the prefect. "Of course this young man iWil hi guilt, though silent on oilier xlnl" "Most decidedly he doe." "Then jou have got to prore It In or der to bring Ihe crime home In blm. You must recollect that under the revised jienal code of Frnnre, the prisoner ha no longer to prove hi Innocence pf- a charge. It I the duty of the law to bring It home to him." "Hut Monsieur Chabot assure ine," said the mayor, "that he found tills young man In Mailame Itoiieir chamber Ittitno dlalely nfter the resirt of Ihe pistol." "Oh jH'rlinps the young man found blm. What do you think of thatV" remarked the prefect. "You see. ny dear sir, we mut not be too limit)."
