The Roupell Mystery
By Austyn Granville
CHAPTER XVIII.
Alfred l-i,u. lOiualurd In earnest
conversation with Mme. Crreson for up
ward of two hour. During that period
the young woman wwrl times retired
to the privacy ot her bed chamber' and a
many tlraen emerged therefrom, reappear
ing upon the lint occasion dtv-wcd In full
street costume, nj having her dirk hair
entirely concealed with a profusion ot
blonde, fluff ringlet.
She hJ on a rather loud, plaM dress,
a traveling cape of Scotch wool mi, and
a boh net very plainly trimmed. Plain
gold earrings wr In her ctrs, and In
her bant) she carried a silk umbrella and
a small traveling bag. On ber feet were
a paid ot broad, large-heeled shoes and
oxer lhe white gnltrr which twinkled
In and out from under her petticoat at
die .walked up and down the room. Ce
leste looked on wondering!? and ate her
lon-bon. M. Casugne examined her
mother with the eye nt a critic.
"You'll do," he Mid presently, "all but
(he gaiters. I don't think thaw white
gaiter hare reached tondon yet."
"Oh. monsieur la mistaken, I am aure,"
replied Mme. Cresson. with enthusiasm.
"I wia on Urgent street not two week
ago. Vou know I went orer there on the
Peter Robinson case. They were very
generally worn."
"You are wrong, all the same. 1 wai
over there raj self lately. (Salter were
worn, It U true, but la much darker
sdiadea. Iondon I alway alx month
behind Paris, and New York six month
behind I-ondon In luch matter. Now,
doa't contradict me, child. The Kngti!i
ladle are not yet wearlug them.
Mme. Cresson urged the point no fur
them. Turning to ber maid, ahe said:
"Ilrlng me tny dark gray gaiter. Na
non; they are a year, at least, out of
fashion In Pari, monsieur. I hope they
will satisfy you."
"You think I am very hard to please,"
remarked Camgne. "I may be so. I
know the kind ot man I have to deal with
In Victor Lablanrbc, the prefect of po
lice. I will call for you to-morrow at
ten o'clock. In th mentlm I hare
quite a deal to attend to."
He took hi hat, klucd little Celeste
good -by, and. descending by the stairway,
opened the black door and passed out on
to the street.
' "I love Ppa Casugne," CTled little
Celeste, a she tood by the window
watching the retrrotlng form ot th gen
tleman who bought the bon-bons. Then
looking up at her mother, sb added :
"You lore him, too, dn't you,
Bam ma I"
"Celette U a goo." said Mme. Crcs-
on. ber charming cheek tinged with
color, "and gees mustn't aik foolish
question."
M. Casaagne pursued hi way (till fur-
tbem Into the Intricacies of the Latin
Quarter. At last he stopped before a
email shop, pushed up the latch of the
door and entered. A Urge, stout man.
with a pen behind his ear, was seated at
a b!gb desk, with a pile of proof In front
ot him. II nodded familiarly to the de
tective, got off hi (tool and at once con
tacted him Into a private office.
"Ua! Moiuleur C'assagne,' 'he exclaim
ed. "What can I do for you to-day f
"I bar two small Job for you. It'a
Imply to set two lines ot type, and print
tne bait a doxen abeet of note paer; also
couple ot cards. I will pay you well
for It. Can you do It personally, so that
bo one else will know what you are do
ing 1 and can you do It right away?"
"I can. Write out what you wish
printed. Her U a pen and some paper."
"I want you to set up this." said Cas
aagne, as be banded hi copy (o the
printer. "Set it up In English type, and
strike It off on Kngllsh paper. I will
wait her for It"
Twenty minute later M. Cassagne
wa on the street. In his pocket, neatly
packed between sheets of tissue paper to
prevent tbelr "setting off," were six
beet ot note paper, and on the top
right-hand corner ot each was printed
tbe words. In bold English type:
"Offic of
SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE
"Scotland Yard,
""' "London, W. C."
IT also bore two card which read:
"MR. GEOHOE Ht'SSELL,
"3d Eaton Square."
Casague Jumped Into a cab and drov
(tome. Arrived there he took off his hat
and cost and washed bis bands carefully.
Then be took down from an upper shelf
an old letter file, and turning to tbe
letter "II," drew out a letter addressed to
himself, wblch wa written In a large
English band. Next he took from tbe
pocket of bli coat tbe six sheets of paper
and the two card. The latter be put
Into a card case by themselves, the for
rner b put on .the table.
Then he got a pen and some Ink and
went to work, laboriously but skillfully.
After spoiling three sheets of paper he
produced something be was satisfied with.
Taking tbe letter to the window be held
It to tbe light, as If admiring bis own
handiwork, and read a follow:
-Office ot

"Vlctor LabUncbe, El, Prefect of Po

detective, "because It transgresses every

men, eveu ot education, are perpetually
nuking that mistake when addressing

also is not bad. M. Henderson would
doubtless be careful lest hit friend Mr.
Russell should present It at Paris, Ken
tucky, or lVirls, Texas."
The prefect of police, hid bardly time
to place himself In the dignified attitude
In which It was his custom to receive his
caller next morning, when th door
swung open, and a gentleman, unmistak
ably English and carrying In hi gloved
hands a tall silk hat, and the Inevitable
umbrella ot the rain-afflicted ltrlton, en
tered the apartment. He was accom
panied by a lady whose grace of carriage,
and really handsome face, accentuated If
anything In the eje of tbe Frenchman
the villainous fit of alt her garments.
"There should be a law parsed to com
pel such people to employ Parisian drees
makers. Hut even then they would never
took like our women," was hi Inward
comment, as he arose, and with the po
liteness of his race bowed low as be re
ceived hi visitors.
"Monsieur le prefect, I presume," said
the gentleman. In French which was sim
ply execrable. "I have the honor ot ad
dressing Monsieur l-ablsnehe. the prefect
of the Parisian pollcer
"I am he, monsieur."
"Permit me to present you to my wife,
Madame Russell Monsieur Victor La
blancbe." Tb Frenchman bowed more gallantly
thin ever. Really, notwithstanding tbelr
gaucherira, these English women were
quite charming. In fact, tbe prefect was
agreeably surprised with bis visitors. Tbe
Englishman's manner was perfect. With
bis native dignity wis blended a delight
ful air of deference and politeness. Not
withstanding bis villainous prooouncla
tion ot the French language, be managed
to make himself clearly understood. The
evident cordiality of his manner thawed
whatever reserve tbe prefect bad sought
to hedge himself In with. His heart
qutte warmed to th Intelligent Lon
doner. "I have the great fortune to be tb
bearer of a letter to you, monsieur," be
said, "from tbe superintendent of police
at Scotland Yard, our mutual friend,
Mr. James T. Henderson."
"I am delighted to se anyone who
come to me Introduced by Monsieur Hen
derson," replied the prefect.
He scarcely glanced at the letter. II
was afraid be bad but little to show tbem
after tbe magnificent department of his
friend, M. Henderson, In London. Still
he should be hsppy to place hlmvlf at
their disposal. What would they like to
see first?
"Oh, tb rogues gallery, by all means,"
suggested Mme. Russell, enthusiastically.
"Or your splendid liertltlon system of
measurement for prisoners; which you
bare brought to such perfection In Paris,"
added her husband.
It was a telling compliment, because
it waa true. M. IabUnche had been In
deed tbe first to adopt the Itertillon y
Inm. and under bis supervision It bad
attained a mirrelous degree of accuracy
and perfection. He bad taken the raw
theory ot a prison reformer, and reduced
it to a practical science.
"Our rogue' gallery l not a exten
sive as It used to be," he explained.
"Since tbe adoption of the system of
measurements we have not photographed
any but the most notorious criminals. You
can probably see more picture In Ixn
don. However, I will show you some of
tbe most important."
He led tbe way Into a square, high
ce'led chamber. Ilgbtrd from tbe roof only,
tbe walls of whltb were literally covered
with portraits of the dVsperadoe of
France.
"You see we have tbem arranged a!
pbabetlcally, and here Is an Indev book
on tbe table for Instant reference. Oppo
site each name, you see, I have placed
the Rertlllon uraiurement of all those
prisoner who have come here since tbe
adoption of that system. There they are,
men and women, from all rlasea of so
ciety, and of every degree of crime and
misfortune."
Tbe fair English woman seemed
trangely movedi-
"Poor creatures," she murmured, soft
ly, a hrr Utile band rested Involuntarily
on tbe o(C-er" coat sleeve.
The prefect regsrded ber tdmtringly.
Tears of genuine pity were in ber bright,
langblng eyes.
"Hut It Is strangely Interesting," she
added. "Oh! monsieur, please shot me
on or two of tbe most desperate and
irlat tbelr history."
Tbe prefect turned to M. Russell. The
Englishman waa evidently deeply engross
ed tn tbe index, bunting up tbe charac
ter for himself, In hi independent Kng
llsh fashion.
"Nor I don't want to bear the his
tories," b said, looking up from the book,
with a cordial smile. "I'm perfectly
happy. Hut Mr. Russell Is an enthu
siast on criminal heroes. Hha would be
for raising a monument to Jack Sbep
pard and Dick Turpln, It I would allow
her."
t la a aad thing to bar a brutal
husband," cried madame, with 'a pretty
pout, aa aba want across its roam sa tb
inn of tho prefect. "Let na lev him

says lie U happy. ad nmuse ourselves"
The susceptible M, tablattche waa In
th eventh heaven, lie wa entirely at
th acrvlc of timdime. So he pnxxeded
to regale her with short sketches ot hit
favorite malefactors, and madame looked
on anu iugneu or uecniue sau, jui .
the proper time.
They had complete! the flrrult of tlis
room and were near tho door again. M,
Ruuell was still Investigating on his own
account. Mme. Russell, the pressure ot
her little haud still upon the arm ot her
gutlant conductor, looked tip Imploringly
at him -with these fatal eye.
"Oh! monsieur," she said,-"do show nit
some of the prisoners,"
It I not a pleasing sight tor mad

CHAPTER XIX.
"A comparison of this portrait with
th miniature In th lockrt," remarked
M. Castagne, "now convince m bejond
a doubt that Philip U Seur and Philip
flrabam are on and the satn person.
Ills 'Rertlllon measurements, which I
bare carefully noted down, are at pres
ent ot but little use to'us. but aa a mean

ceed In running him to earth, they may
prove Invaluable. Reyond any question
whitever, we may now assume that Pblllp
Orahim la In some way connected with
tbe murder ot Madame Roupell."
Charles D'Auburon stared at hi friend
in speechless surprise as he uttered thes
words.
"I think your experience of yesterday
must hare turned your bead," h said.
at last. "There has been no commuta
tion of Philip La Seur's sentence. Relng
till a prisoner at Toulon, how Is It pos
sible for him to hare been connected with
th mystery of Vlleneuv? My deir
friend, I beg or you not to think any
more of this rase to-day. You need a
rest. You hav been taxing your brats
too much."
"And you. my dear Charle," retortea
Cassagne, "bive been taxing your brain
too little. You think that because there
Is no commutation ot sentence recorded In
the caw of this Philip !-a Seur that hs
Is still In the custody of tb prison offi

"Most decidedly."
"Well, ITjIIIp La Seur broke prison
nearly five years ago, and be ba nver
yet been retaken."
"Impossible, eseap from Toulon pris
on I I will not believe It. It Is the most
strongly fortified of any penal establish

"Perbapa; but here Is a convincing
proof of It Look at thla foot note, copied
from the register of Monsieur Lablancbe:
'Escaped from Toulon,' and under It ev
ery year since Is marked This prisoner
Is still at large. Resides that," added
M. Cassagne, laughing, "the prefect re
lated tbe history of this particular pris
oner to my supposed wife, Madame Cre
son, as ooe of the most daring escap
on record."
"Well, of course that settle It," ex
claimed D'Autiuron. "No, I don't want
any more proof. You overwhelm me as
It Is. Rut what Is the next step which
you propose to takeT"
"I now Intend to fiml," replied M.
Cassagne. with tbe utmost deliberation.

New Jersey. I A. Vorhec. of the New
Jersey Station, made careful estimate
of the weight per bushel of the different
materials.
HI results show "that the weight of
stone lime per bushel (bcupod meas

constant relation to the analysis of the
sample. Tbe average weight jcr
busliel of the twelve magnntlsn lime
wn nlurty-sercu pounds, and that of
the six 'marble' lime was 101 pounds."
The weight per bushel of seven oyster
shell limes examined ' varied from
thirty-nine to iwventyflve jsiunds, av
eraging fifty-one and a half itounds.
The prepared or so called "agricul
tural" limes examined were still more
variable In weight.
feed fur Hreeillssj Animals,
It Is Important that breeding animal
have laxative feels when they are put
upon dry feeds after being taken from
the past u re. Such article as oil meal,
flaxseed meal, etc, should enter large
ly Into tho ration. When animals aro
changed from pa stum to dry feeding
there Is a tendency to constipation, and
steps must bo takeu to have the bow
els inovo freely, or there Is danger of
serious trouble. Ill en so the shore ar
ticle do not hare tbe desired effect,
Epsom salts or raw Unseed oil muit
be used.
