For period of two week Immediately
following the death ot lime. Itoupell,

It was a lovely June moraine. Tb

of their aunt. Harriet, however, did not

mourning for on whom she could not re
rail, white a fate so dreadful hung over
her lover's hfad Emily, who readily
Karmbvd the state of her sUter'e feelings,
wi not backward in admlnNtering what
comfort she could. She bad written nj
eatedly to Dr. 1'anl Mason, urging blm
to (pare neither labor nor money In hi
endeavors to extricate Van Uth from hi
terrible position.
One morning, looking oat of the win
dow, Harriet presently epled the sturdy
figure of the doctor coming at a swinging

lie had arrived in Villeneuve by tb
morning train, and made a abort cut
arrow the fields iiutrad of coming by the
road through the village. . .
For the first thne sldce the doath of
her aunt, Emily Weldoa waa ia tolerable
spirit. The cloud which had lowered so
hmvily orer the future seemed lifting at
last. According to the report of Dr.
Mason, there mi at last a possibility of
the terrible ajwlfrj which enshrouded
all their lire being cleared away some
hope that her sister1 lorer. whom she
bellered to be Innocent, would be freed
from the awful charge which hunt orer
him.
As tbej- walked aloof following the
path which led them through the forest
of VtUeorare, much of Harriet's usual
gaiety and sprlghtllneM of manner also
returned. Her cheeks retained their
color with the unwonted exercise; her
puhe beat quickly again; the soft June
breeze fanned her brow, aad her dark
eyes retained their luster.
Emily sm similarly affected. Her
spirit rosa with erery step they took.
She even laughed when a iittie rabbit,
startled by their approach, sat upritht
to look at them for a moment, and then
dashed off into the underbrush. "I bad
to laugh," she said, apologetically, "for If
ever a rabbit showed surprise, tbat did;
why, his expression was almost human."
"It is possible tut may be. according to
Man Werlow," remarked the doctor.
"And who U Han Werlow f

Here Harriet was compelled to laugh

"How I should like to " your friend
Hans Werlow! You must contrive to
Inrite him to visit us some day.
"Perhaps I shall, when all is brltht
again," replied Mason, "and It shall be,
if I can make It so, or rather. It Monsieur
Cassagne can, for the matter is in bis

"res, I hare. In times- of treat
trouble we are apt to lean on someone.
One Is (lad to bare somebody In such
a crisis who can be trusted. It Is the
pedal mission of the strong to support
the weak."
"As we lean on you," said Kmily,
quietly, "for comfort In our hour of
need."
Her arm waa within his own, and her
fair, white hand was temptingly near.
lie placed his own upon It, with a gentle,
reassuring pressure. The action was elo
quent of assurance that she could trust
to hi friendship to the last. A brother
debt bare done the same, yet a strante
thrill -went through her. He saw her
momentary embarrassment, and height

"For Harriet' sake and for yours, be
said gently.
Then to hi surprise and delight, her
linger returned the pressure of his own.
They seemed to say, "I understand you."
The sun waa high In the heaven. It
waa very warm. They were yet some dis
tance fnsn Vertlera. They sat down on
the mossy tnk under the shade of one
of the trsnd old trees. Taking no credit
to himself, he told them what La had
learned of M. Cassajne' doints; bow
thoroughly impressed be waa with the in
nocence of Van Uth; how Indefatltably
he bad worked, and what skill he had
displayed In unraveling a far aa be had
cone the cause and motive for the crime.
"I don't see much to eat around here,
remarked the doctor, finally.
"No, not here, of course," said Har
riet. "But there' a cottar up there by
the edre of the wood, where I dare aay
we can set soma excellent milk and per
haps some white bread. It us to there
at once. I'm perfectly ravenous.
Without giving the other time to an
swer, Harriet Weldon at once began to
lead the way. Gathering ber dtkty
afclrta about her, she leapt lightly acros

"I think you'd better trust me. Miss

"As you will, then," she said, simply ;
and the next moment his arms went
around her.

"I love jou," he murmured.
Then he stooped and kissed her on the
lips. She flushed scarlet.
"Dr. Msson Paul" she exclaimed.
He sprang scrota with her Into the
field. Harriet was out of sigh:. Shs bad
disappeared among the trees.

She was blushing furiously. It became
imperatively necessary to pause a little
to allow her to recover herself. They
were entirely alone. For a brief minntt
they remained thus, looking Into each
other's faces.
Then they sauntered oo. band In hand

with her mouth full of bread and cheese
was Impatiently awaiting them.
"What's the matter with you twoTT
she asked. "I -bought you'd lost your

The train which bore Dr. Paul Mason
back to I'aris that night must have been
conscious of the reluctance of one of its
passengers, at least, to leave the neigh
borhood of Villeneuve. for never bad a
short trip seemed so long and tedious to
a certain pleasant facrd, thoughtful, mid-dle-atrd
gentleman, who sat and thrum

out upon the night

me that on the day on which Van I.lth

CHAPTER XVI.
More than a week had elapsed since
the departure of M. Casssgne. during
which time bis assistant In Paris. Charles
D'Auburon. bad received no word of him.
One morning, however, he got a laconic
message over tb wire: "Hue de Prov
ence. - p. m. Tuesday," by which he
rightly snnaUed that his chief woold
meet him at hi lodging at the hour
named. Almost on the stroke of the
clock. D'Auburon hoard the detective
climbing Ibe stair leading to bU apart
ment. "He I pretty tired." cogitated the
young Frenchman. "He come slowly.
He was right. Alfred Caagae bad no
hoot entered tbe room lliau be flung
himself heavily into a chair. His faTM
rtorc an rsprrvMHi 01 sunn. i umu
was disorlerrd. He seemed dreadfully
fatigued and dispirited. D'Auburon
Lastened to relieve him of bis hat and
light overcoat, and to take the hot wig
from his bead.
"You look worn out, old fellow," he
eielalmed. "Pull off your boot and
cuat, and make yourself comfortable."
Thus Invited, Alfred Cassagne divested
himwlf of these article of apparel, re
marking as he pulled off bis boots :
"I haven't had these off for Ibe last
forly-elgbt hour and they were too
tight for me anyhow.'-
"Anything gone wrong?
"To be brief, all our work of the past
two weeks ha to be done orer again."
-Whatr exeJalmel D'Auburon. "Do
you mean to say ae are on the wrong
track r
"I will tell you right now, replied
M. Cassagne. "It I a peculiar story. I
soon settled tbe question as to where
Graham was."
N "You have found him, then? and It I
not he who committed tbe crime? Ah,
that Is bad. Our theory at once fall to
the ground."
"Not o fait. Don't anticipate me.
However, I may tell you tha( Henry Gra
ham had no more to do ttilh lb murder
of Madame Itoupell than you or I had."
"It Is very extraorlins ry."
"Not extraordinary at all. Hut let me
begin at the beginning. I left Pari hav
ing in ssf poeion certain fact upon
which I knew I could thoroughly rely.
One of them was that Graham bad gone
to Drillers, taking bis little son with
him: another that be had been in corre
spondence with a woman there whose first
name wa Helene, and whom I firmly be
lieved to be the mother of the child."
"Yes, I recollect all that ; go on, pray ;
what next'f"
"Arrived at Helller. I Instituted every
possible inquiry a to whether such per
sous a Graham and bis son were known
or had ever been known there. This
search occupied tbe greater portion of my
time I was about to despair when I
stumbled across an old priest who told me
that he had known the man I was In
search of.
"Are you a friend of hlsTf asked tbt
priest. 'I am,' I replied. Then you
will be shocked when you hear what hap
pened to him. Com with me, and I ..will
tell you hi story.' I followed tb priest.

expecting to hear that t wa th teoat

vale avium. Ule led the nay to his
(urea, ana there in the little burying
ground he pointed me out a gravew At Its
hfad was a stone on which I read!
-IlKNtfY UKAHAM.
' Aged tt2 years.' -
, "Wast!" exrialmed D'Auburun. aston-
tbed beyond measure. "Was It oar Hen
ry (trshamr It can't be possible !"
Tnrt Is not the slightest doubt about
It. When I saw that tombstone, you can
imagine bow I felt after all the time
and trouble I had given this case. It
was as It the bottom had dropped out of
everything. The priest saw, no doubt.
that 1 waa strangely affected. He attrlh
nted my agitation to grief.
"Tell m something about my poor
old friend.' I said. 'I have heard that
b was la wry bad circumstance. Did
he die poorr
"'Very.' replied the priest. "Hut he
wss cared for by mother church. That
stone was erected by his son. Ah I ho
was a sad scamp, a willful fellow, who
gave hi poor father no end of trouble.
Hut that was the old man's fault, partly.
He did not somehow care to have the boy
with him. He lived up on the hill, him
self, for years, in very good style b
had money from somewhere, though I
don't know where be got It. Hut th
child, he didn't srem to be bothered about

"'Didn't the child lit with hhnr I

I wanted to keep the old man talking.
I thought he might possibly drop some
thing worth having.
" N he went on he wa-i a garrulous
old fellow. 'No, h didn't srem to care
to have the. child with blm. Until h
sit quite a big boy he remained In the
care of a yoang couple ia the village. The
woman, I think, grew to be quit fond
of him. Hut he was aa unruly little rus

"All this very serious. The result
Is tbat we are no further than when w
started. What do jou propcse to do
now? ion re not going to give It up,
are youV
"Give It up ! I wonder at your asking
such a question. Certainly I shall not
give it up."
"Now tell me," said the younger man.
"what you propose doing? 1 aa Impa
tient to know."
M. Cassagne did not Immediately reply.
He closed his eye Ilk one who think
deeply. At last he ml :
"I have mapped out a plan of action.
And we must either carry It out on that
line, or abandon It altogether. We have
adopted from tb start, the theory that
this crime wa not committed tor the
purpo of robbery, but In the interet
of some p-Tm who In some way would
profit, either directly or Indirectly, by
the death of Madame Itoupell. If w
abandon that theory we have no other to
work on. After Ibe most careful exam
ination of all the facts and circumstances,
I fall to account for tbe murder upon
any other hypothesis. Henry Graham
being dead disproves tbat theory so far a
be Is concerned; but so far only."
"Admitted ; but whom have you to take
hi place? You most substitute someone,
or your theory falls to the ground," re
marked D'Auburon.
"Not necessarily." replied the detec
tive. "We may substitute an entirely un
known pTvoo and rail him X."
"Yea, that's all very well: but how to
find hua ia the question."
-To rbieh I certainly give you an
other answer, fulaten attentively. I am
about to begin my argument, and I want
you to follow it aft pick .It to piece.
Commencing on the hypothesis already
laid down. I shall proceed tj demonstrate
tro things . First, the murder of Madam
Itoupell wa committed by someone di
rectly Interested in getting her out of the
way. Second, it was Ibe work of seme
person who was acquainted with her af
fairs, either by actually having known
ber, or from Information gathered from
someone mho was her Intimate. You
must not forget tbe miming aill. portions
of which are In my powIon. You
roust not forget alio the circumstance j,Mn our ,blp. the Navy Departinetit
surrounding this injslerioo crime. ItlreaP afr year ,ag approved of plana
wa committed In the drad of night, The',,
hour chosen by the murderer wns one at
which he extorted to find the bouse en
tlrely unprotected by Ibe presence of men,
for the butler and coachman, recollect,
slept over the stable and tbe presence
of Van Uth and Chabot In the chateau
that night wa a contingency totally un
foreseen by bim, and one be could not
have been prejred for. You may be
sure that If lie bad forrseen It, be would
hare postponed bis visit until some other
occasion, for men or that stamp, though
bold and unscrupulous, always take a
Hill risk a posalble.-
"Granted." acouW-sced fAuburcn. "Go
on."
"Tbe temporary chk that our theory
ha received from finding tbat Henry
Graham died before the murder was com
mitted. In no way convince me that be
waa not In any way Implicated. lt u
appose that h knew of Ibe existence of
this will, which disinherited him; that
be contemplated its destruction at some
time and loofided hi plan to an accom
plice: tbat for a long time no opportu
nity occurred like Ibe "bo wblrb did oc
cur, when Van Mth left tbe chateau and
tbe woman and her nieces wrre practically
at his mercy."
"Well. I will uppoe all that, if you
like; but still maintain that when Gra
ham died all motive for tb comtnlsalon
of the crime was removed. What benefit
could a third party not Interested at law
in tbe disposition of Madame Itoupell'
