Tho point Is that In this dreaaa, as she called It, uho brought together the two most Important areata la hay Hfc." ira! What was the drcamr , "She says she, saw tuu twice onco . h a forest near a wooden bridge, where a man with a beard wns talk lag to a woman and a little girl; then she saw bbo on a boat going to a placo WBr there wore black people" -That was liraiiL- ! sappose bo. And thero was a bandog san with a wicked faco In side that kept looking down at me. Sho says she often dreams of this wicked face. She sees It first In a dls taat star that comes nearer and near er aatil It gvts to bo large and red and aagry. As tho face comes closer her Sear grows' until she wakes with a start ef terror. Sho says she would d4 ef fright If the face erer reached her before sho awoke. That's about Ter some moments the commissary did aot speak. "Old she try to inter pret this dreamT "Ko." "Why did she teU yon about itr "She acted on a sudden Impulse, so bo says. I'm inclined to believe her. Bat seTcr mind that Pougeof he rose- la agitation and stood leaning otot his friend "in that forest scene sho brought up something that isn't kaowa, something I've never even told yea, say best friend." Tiens! What Is thatr Tea think I resigned from the po lice force two years ago, don't you?" "Of course." "Every one thinks so. Well, it isn't true. I didn't resign. I was dis charged." M. Pougeot stared in bewilderment t if words failed him, and finally he repeated weakly: "Discharged I Paul Coqacaii discharged 1" res, sir, discharged from the Paris detective force for refusing to arrest murderer. That s how tho accusa tion read." ' 'Bat it wasn't truer 'Judge for yourself. It was the case of a poacher who killed a guard. I doa't Bap pose yon remember ltT" "Down near Saumnr, wasn't ltT" "Exactly. And It was near Saumur I found him after searching all over France. We were clean off the track, and I made up my mind the only way to get him was through his wife and child. They lived in a little bouse In the woods not far from the place of tho shooting. I went there as a ped dler la hard luck, and I played my part so well that the woman consent ed to take me In as a boarder. For weeks It was a waiting game. I would go away on a peddling tour and then cesse beck as a boarder. Nothing devel oped, bat I could not get rid of tho feeilae that my man was somewhere near In the woods." "One of your Intuitions. Well?" "Wen. at last the woman became convinced that they dad nothing to fesr from me, and she did things more openly. One day I saw her put some food in a basket and give It to the lit tle girt. And the little girl went off with the basket Into the forest Then I knew I was tight and tho next day ! followed the little girl, and, sure fooBgh, she led mo to a rough cave where her father was hiding. I bung about there for an hour or two. mid finally the. man came out from tho care, and I saw him talk to his wlfo and child near a brldgo over a moun tain torrent" "The picture that girl saw In tho dream r "Tea; 111 never forget It I had my pistol ready, and he was defenseleHH. and once I was Just springing forward to take tbo fellow when be bent over and kissed his llttlo girl. I don't know how yoa look at tbeso things, Pou geot hut I couldn't break In tbcro and take that man away from bis wife and child. Tbo woman had been kind to bmt and trusted me, and well, it was a breach of daty, and they punished for it Bat I couldn't do it 1 couldn't do it, and I didn't do It" Aad yoa let the fellow go?" 1 let him go then, but I got him a week later la a fair light, man to They gave him ten years." "And discharged you from tbe teres?" Tos that is, In view of my past services they allowed me to resign." Coquenll spoke bitterly. . 'OutragftousI Unbelievable t" mut tered Pougeot ' Ooqaenll looked at Pougeot with an odd little smile. "You take It Just as I thought you would Just as I took It myself until today. It socms like n stupid blunder, doesn't it? Well, It wasn't a blunder; It was a necessary Eiove in tbo game." "The game! 1 What game?" Tbo commissary stared. A game involving a great crime." "Yoa have tho facts of this crime?" "No; it hasn't been committed yet" "Not committed yet!" repeated tho ether, with a startled glance. "But you know tbe plan? Vou havo evidence" I have what la perfectly clear evi dence to mo-flo clear that I wonder I never saw it txtfore. Luclen, suppose you wero u trrcat criminal, woaltby, j "oTTucntwr. diwTfig mid fosmtrcorul, nuil J supH)so thoro wns one person In this city who wns thwarting your pur poses. porhna Jcopnrdlttni: your safe- I ty. Wlmt .would you unturnlly dof "I'd try to got rid of him." "Exactly," Coiiucnll paused, ami then, leaning closer to lib friend, ho said with extraordinary earnestness "Luclen, for ovor two years somo ono has been trying to get rid of mot" "Tho dovllt" started Pougeot "How long have you known this?" "Only today," frowned tho detecUvo. "i ought to Imvo kuown It long ago." "Hm! Aren't you building a good deal on that dream?" "Tho dream? Heavens, umu." snap ped Coquenll. "I'm building nothing on tho dream and nothing on the girl. She simply brought together two facts that belong together. Why sho did it doesn't matter; she did It, and my rca. son did tho rest Thero Is a connec tion between this Ulo do Janeiro offer aud my discharge from the force. I know it I'll show you other links In the chain. Three times In the past two years I havo received offers of business positions away from Paris, tempting offers. Notlco that-business positions away from Paris! Somo ono has extraordinary reasons for wanting mo out of this city aud out of doteo tlvo work." "And you think this 'some one' was responsible for your discharge from the force?" "I tell you I know It M. Qlroux, tho chief at that time, was distressed at the order he told mo so himself; he said It came from higher up." Tho commissary rained Incredulous eyebrows. "You mnan that Paris has a criminal able to overrule the wishes of a chief of poUcot" "Is that hardor than to Influence the Brasllian government? Do you think Rio de Janeiro offered me a hundred thousand francs a year just for my beautiful eyes?" "You're a great detective." "A great detective repudiated by his own city. That's another point Why T lUCSOIiUTIONS KOK WATUK MAINH Ho It resolved, by tho city council of tho city of Medford, Oregon; thnt It Is tho Intention of tho council to lay n . ,-lnch water main on Ninth strbot from Orango street to Hnmll ion street, and to assess tho cost thereof upon the property fronting on snld portion of said stroot in pro portion to tho frontago of said prop erty.

Dou't you sec the samo hand behind it all?" "It's queer," Pougeot muttered. "But you think some great crime Is pre paring?" "Don't you?" asked Coquenll abrupt ly. "Why er" hesitated tho other. "Look at tho facts again. Somo ono wants me off the detective force, out of France. Why? There can b only one reason." And when when do you think this crime may be committed?" "Who can say? There must be great urgency to account for their Insisting that I sail tomorrow. Ab, you didn't know that? Yes. xjven now, at this very moment. 1 am suppled to be on tbe steamer train, for the boat goes out early In the morning before tho Paris papers enn reach Cherlourg."

On the silence of this room, with its tension of overwrought emotion, broke tbe sharp summons of tho telephone. "My God!" shivered tho commissary. "What Is that?" M. Pougeot uroused himself with an effort no put the receiver to bin ear. "Yes. this Is M, Pougeot What? Tbe Ansonla? You say he's shot? In a private dining room? Dead? 'Quel malbeur!"
