"MaiNtne nj Moaleur ColbertHerap llo, jou say. are constant visitor t the hou of tli Ylcumtr J Valalr," remarked M. Caagne, oa the morulng following his adventure In the garden. "Yes" replied D'Auburon. They are both there nearly every night. "Now U the time you mut Introduce me kit the rich SwW gentleman, prepar ed to take shares In the Consolidated Dock Compsny. or whatever you call It-" "I am prepared Jo do that." aawered PAuburon, "whenever you are ready to astuute the part. Of course I cannot an swer that the mere establishment of bull Ties relations with the vlcoaite will lend to an Invitation to hU bouse." "You need not frighten yourself about that. Any one who Vis any money to drop on hU card tables need not remain long uninvited. I hare seen enough of him to know that. You had better ee him this evening and say that you expect me from Heme shortly. Meantime, you emit post me thoroughly on the lock Company cbeme, and when 1 meet the Tlcooite I must be prepared to endorse It." "What Is your particular object In watching Madame CoUtert-Kemplln through the de YaUIr lens? There are other houses which be TlIta more fre quently where perhaps you would hare bettrr opportunities of watching her. "No. not according to your accounu of the de Valalr entertainments. You ay that they are extended until a late hour, and that Madame Colbert-tlemplln herself has become a confirmed gambler. What better opportunity could you wish for than to study a person under uch circumstances? Ulve me the atmosphere of tha gambling table to how up the points lu a person "a character. "A you will." assented D'Auburon. I should hare thought, though. It would hare been an easy matter fir you to hare attached yourself to the household of madame In some capacity; where your opportunities of studylns her. and not ing with whom she Is in touch, would be far greater." "You are mistaken, my friend. I assure jou," replied the detective, "In your esti mate of the opportunities such a course would afford. Suppose I did bribe the footman to leave, and took hi. place, which could. I rdmlt, be easily done; the opportunities which would be afforded of watching Madame ltemplin would not be la any measure Increased, Won. In the presence of servants she would be doubly cautious; and she could. In tbe capacity of mistress. Impose such tasks upon members of her household as would effectually compel their absence when she wished to be entirely free from espionage. Besides, a mere servant has no opportu nity to follow her and watch her in so detyr to tote her actloni when mingling with the world, to lUten to her as she converses with ber equals, and to read between the lines of hrr general conduct and behavior. . On.tbe morning following this dialogue II. Ca-agne, having met D'Auburon by appointment at bis dub. the two gentle men proceeded to the office of tbe Mu tual Credit and Trust Company, where Casssgne was formally Introduced to the Vlcomte de Valalr. Jules Chabot. M. CoIbert-IlempUn and others latereted la the dok enterprise. Daring the conversation which ensued the broker Hrrr Goldstein caHed and brought tbe Intelligence that such stock as he tad been authorised to place upon the Bourse hid found ready takers. "It Is always the way wHh a really sound thing." be remarked, "with good oames behind it. An enterprise of that character always go." Then he whis pered in dt YalUr-s ear: "Who is tbe new man? Tbe one in the whit vest, who wears a jstle green ribbon as a watch grd." "That U Menslear Frederic Lazare, a rich manufacturer of Kerne. Switzer land. I suppose be esehews watch chains because he gets enough of them In his business. I have Ja.t put his name down for a Urge block cf shares. He sure and be particularly civil to Wb. He U com ing to tbe bouse to-night. Will you Join xal We shall have a very quiet time. Positively no cards, will be the order of the evening." Thus early In the day fortune bad favored M. Frederic Laxare. Almost a stranger In Paris, the vleomU bad gra ciously invited him to meet tbe vlrorn tense at their bouse la the Avenue Wag ram. "With much pleasure." had been the formal phrase with which the wealthy Swiss bad accepted tbe Invitation. Hut be uttered tbe words from tbe bottom of his beirt. . . , . "I am delighted to meet any friend of Monsieur D'Auburon'." was the expn atou with which tbe Vleomtesse de .llar welcomed tbe manufacturer of Heme. I pent a few weeks some years ago among your beautiful mountains, and 1 assure you I have never forgotten them. Ah L but It does not really pay to Igh for vanished days: they can never come gain.- nd a reflective look came Into ber Cdc eye. ifaAr """f Hou. connected with her early trip to the UJ of ' W lMK had """ le" Wiled0 the sunny smile habitual with ber when before her world, by say ""When a more advanced age brings with It och opportunities a have fallen to jour lot, madame, you should not res-ret the flight of years, and are yot, to be pitied, who know seemingly bow to w.v. jac, food use of the worlds beat things!" It was a very small party which .t down to dinner. There were eight per sons In atl. llerr GoMteln, the broker, was one, Jules Chabot was alo there. The hunker. Colbert ltemplin and Mad ame Colbert-Hetnplln came In at the last moment. The Swiss gentleman was duly Introduced to all In turn: but the for tunes of the evening placed him by tbe side of the vlcomtre snd remote from that portion of the table where Madam Colbert-ltrmplin was seated. lie found In his hostess a woman of unusual conversational attainments. She was equally happy with the chat and gotalp of svvlety. or prepared to talk cleverly on deeper topics. The dinner was Irreproachable. Had Cassagnc's mind not been so preoccupied he would doubt less have enjoyed It. There are some dinners money will not purchase. "We are to have no cards, I believe," said the broker: "that U tbe edict to night. Is it not?" "Yes," replied the vlcomtrsse, "we are to have for once a quirt evening. I hope you will manage to amuse yourself. There la Madame Krolsart : she will sing you something, doubtle, If you ask." "And you, madameV "Oh ! for me, I have reserved a special treat for myself. I am going to show Monsieur I.iitre my conservatories, while he tetls me something about peas ant life In the Svclu mountains." M. Latare wandered under the palms In tbe conservatory. It was but dimly lighted. A few colored lamps alone were suspended from the glass root of the spa cteus building, so spacious Indeed that In winter It appeared a a garden, covered with glass and so heated aa to protect the rare collection of plants and flowers from the killing frosts. There were little paths running here and there. Tbe vlcomtense led ber guest along one which took them to tbe very center of the building, where some lofty palms reared their brads under the great glaM dome. There was a rustic bench facing the plashing waters of tbe foun tain and sheltered from observation by a thick growth. She began by a defense of the vlcomte. Her manner was the well-bred one of a woman thoroughly accustomed to meet men of all ages and dispositions of all minds and temperaments. "Montleur de Yaliar has gone to play card. I feel convinced," she said, look ing at Caagne with her soft, liquid cjes. "let us sit here and talk, you and I. 1V you know. It Is a rare thing for me to have a quiet erenlnr. Don't think my husband dlvourteous. He has some peculiar ways. He thinks he has dis charged much of his duty as host when be has given his guests a coxl dinner, and then everybody In this house feels so much at home. Tbe world baa treated you very nicely," she continued, "has It net? My husband tells me you bars done wonderfully well, and you are not yet forty. I should Judge. Why don't you go into polhle and make a great name? I think If I had been a man I should have daa so. You should have me talk to joer friend Measleur D'Au buron." "You think Msesleur D'Aaburoa baa a career Ixfere hlaV The vleomtesse laughed very merrily Indeed. "A career year friend Monsieur IVAuburon. Why. no, htr 1 far tou Uiy. That Is why we hare had such Interest Ing conversatlotu. I have kept urging upon him th necessity for eiertlon. lis maintains that work of any kind will kill him." "And yet when be rUItrd me In Hwlt aeriand he was tbe most Indefatigable of climbers. I bad hard wort lu snrf op with him. I can tell you." "I thought Monsieur D'Auburon had never been In Switzerland. At any rate I know be aayi he detests mountains." "Oer friend possesses the rare merit of being modest. Ak him about Chamou nix and tbe Matterhorn when you next see him. He can tell you a few stories ahleh -woald surprise you. .Hut let ns talk of more Immediate things, madame. Monsieur H'Auburuo la tot In 1'arislan society, ani Just now I am particularly Interested in I'arisUn society. Your own circle, for instance. You seem to have drawn around you soma charming people the Colliert-lteraplln, for Instance." "You like themr "Yfs; the husband It so well Inform ed I don't mean merely on matters of fisance, but on all topics. I was greatly interested in what be was talking about daring dinner tbe dissolution of your second empire. Ily the way, what an Ideal lady of tbe court his wife, with ber white hair and aristocratic features, waM bare made under tb Third Napo leon." "Do you admire her" "Greatly In a way. Is she not a woman with a liUtory? She looks like It." Tbe words were spoken so quietly and naturally, that though sb started with surprise at the directness of tb 'ques tion, tbe vlcomtnwc could Dot possibly doubt ber guest's good faith In putting It. "Yes," she replied, "she lias a his tory. "I thought I was right, I am a read er of human face In a way. If I bad been aiki-J. I should have ss id. looking at her, There Is one who baa suffered for ambitions sake." Tbe Tlcomtesse turned around on tbe bench, with a half ainlla parting ber lovely ill, and said: "Ueally, Monsieur Law re. In addition to your atulnmtau m wouataWssrs, you Swiss gentlemen em to count that f mind-reading. IV jou know what jou say comes rvmarkahly nrar the truth?" Then lowering her voice, and first lock ing cnuttHUslyVtround, h added: "It U not generally known, but It oan do no harm to tell yu, who have piesl so nwr the mark but Madame Htmplln Merlflocd her heart to her ambUHms. You Amur what I eH; jwt are a tn of the world, amuileur. There was ymng man. with nothing lmt his profes sion, whom she adored, of course. There, was a middle-aged roMt with a fortune, whom she tolerated at first, for the sake of the position he gave ber and learned M like afterward, as all we poor crea tures do." "I understand. What became of the yuung man?" "He was fooll.H. He became dissipat ed. He drifted away, and went to Ihe do. He fell o low. thtt I understand he wrote to his former fiancee for money lld It truuently. A woman would not have stooped to that." "Hut you have not known Madame Col-bert-llemplln long?" Something tnduced him to say the words and rlk wbaPfollowed. The effect upon the vleomtrasei. Indeed, seemed elec trical. She regarded him for a moment with undlguled astonishment. "How did you know that my acquaint ance with Madame ltemplin was a re cent one?" "Why," he answered, boldly, "you told me so yourself. Yon look surprised. Don't give me credit for being too gTeat a seer. Kather Impute to me an excel lent memory." "It Is a great gift." said the vlcora tesee, laughing. "IV jou know, an ld occurred to m as you spoke Just now. and It was sneb a funny one, that ycu might be someone I bad known once, and were majucvndlng In disguise." "What a funny Idea, to be sure," re plied M. Latar. also laughing. "It would not be a bad one, would It? Ha, madame, you should try yoor hand at a romance. Something from your pen, I am convinced, would make a sensation." Tbey went In together, laughing mer rily. The first person they encountered was D'Auburon. "Ha. Monsieur .VAuburon," crW th vlcomtesse. "hre U Jour friend saylttg I might write a boow. l.et me give him some coffee. If we can find some." Halt an hour later D'Auburon and his friend M. Iaiare took their leave. On their way home to the Hotel de I'Athene, where D'Auburon, In order to keep up appearances, had enaged apartmenta for hit friend M. Uiare, tbe latter re marked : -Quite a deal of progress for tbe first evenlnr. Several things are quite clear In my mind." -What are they, prayr Inquired D'Auburon. "Heyond a doubt Madame Heleoe Colbert-Hetnplln Is tbe llelme who married Henry (Jrahim. and who consequently la the mother of rhillp Graham, alias Philip I Seur." "How do you know that?" "Well, we have followed the track too closely to be mistaken, haven't we? Hut. la addition, there are family traits In which I cannot be deceived. Tbe high forehead, tbe peculiar expression of the mouth, the general configuration, all point Irresistibly to the same conebulou." "And when we have found Ihlllp Gra ham's mother, where shall we look for Philip Graham htmself? I tell you yew are wrong now In not doing as I saM. Your wisest course would have been to have ' lastaltd yourself In the household of Madame Colbert-HeinpMn. You will nt learn of her son's whereabouts until you do." L XOU seeai persiiirm oh ii j...

I prsfer to study the situation as the guest of Madame la Vlcorotn-e de Vallar." "And mark ray words, nothing will m. of It." retorted D'Auburon. "For ouce you are en the wrong track." Tbe detective sratted broadly. "!on't get so trltnl. Charles," he said. "Hefwe a week Is over, you will be kicking yourself to And Iww greatly you have been mistaken." CHAPTER XXII. Two weeks passed, diriag which lira M. Cassagne, In Ihe character of the Hernese msnufsrltirrr. eontlnued his vis its to the d Valiant. He waa now but rarely acctflpnied by D'Auburon, who adhered so closely to his contention that lbs dVtectlve was simply waiting his time, that, as b put it. U considered It altogether wrung to encourage blm In his obstinacy. Thesa detectives, after all," thought D'Auburon, "r only human. H Is fas cinated by the vieomtesse. Kvery one falls Into that net I suppose one can't blame him she it handsome." t p....mi. Kad ntisrntlr made ereat stride In Ihe gojd books of de Vallar. H spent bU mortilnjs lu the office of the Mutual Credit and In Company, where he gave really valuable advice concern ing the floating of tbe Consolidated Dovk enterprise. He passed his afternoons seelag Paris, with the vlcomte and I'bibot: and hi evenings be divided between the vlcom trsse and the card table. In a house where high play was tbe principal event of tbe evening. It was Impossible hot to come more or less within Its Influence. Certain ll I that the vlromtesae had taken a more than ordinary Interest In her foreign guest. Perhaps he wai good listener, which I Ihe slncerest flat tery to your brlllUnt conversationalist. Anyhow she Insisted upon accompanying M. I Jita re to the table upon the first nlgbt, and by ber presence prevented the stakes running unduly blgb. gb need not have been so sollcllixi on tb 8wU gentleman' account, Tba first night or two he lost quit a con siderable sum, to be sure; but they had tutrttly been playing a week before da Vallar and hl friend discovered that M ltar knew at much as they did. IV Vttllar particularly was nettlwl to seo this quiet, mio,tntnllous foreigner come In and walk away with his money To tell the truth, pending Ihe floating of the IWolkbxJed IVhV Company, that art We was rather scarre with hint A boost In some of his Argentine. Ite publlc securities on the HoiirsM had glren him, however, a welcome lilt. It was quite a sunt. Three hundred and fttty theusand franc had been placed to hi account with the Credit Fonder. That very evening he drew half of It In cash, and came prepared tu pit his fortune against that of M. Frederic liar. Hut M. Utare would not play. From an early hour In th evening It wa ob served that he kept In the outer salon. He was unusually thoughtful and re served. He paused by the side of Mm. CoIberMWniptln. An expression of pity hovsred on hU features as be stooped and said : "Will you do me a favor? I ask It for the last time. Will you go quietly home! I am wllllrc to save you all I ran," Mroe. Colbert-Hemplln's whit hand, glittering with Jewels, trembled as It lay upon th arm of her easy chair. Hut her face waa adamant and her vole without a tremor, as sb replied: "No, I will not stir from here. I will stay and save him. It would kill m to se him go back to the galleys." The detective looked upon the frail, white-faced woman sitting before hint, and an lnde-rlbabl something flashed across hi features. It was th tender ness of a supreme pity, blended with ad miration. "You can do nothing." he.urged, "You bad better leave him to his fate, t can feel for jou, but he richly deserve It." (To b coo tinned.) PIRATE IJvXnTE'S TREABORH. Its llldlna I'Ues.
