""Awl be probably looked into No. C

H. Pa nl started, and "I see that's
He bored this hole first; It's the

3eeked through tho first hole while he

""Wfeat difference does it make which

awfowi the other, and then, with slg
asMcaat emphasis, "I know that you

CofBeall Instinctively felt that some-
Momentous was preparing.
"Kuther clover, your getting on that

"AK you kuow about thatl"

"Who, pray, are 'we? "
"Certain persons interested In this
Ansonla affair."
"Persons who know about tho
crime?"
"Possibly."
"Il'm! Do these persons know what
covered the holes In No. 7?"
"A Japanese print,"
"And In No. 0?" V.
"Some yellow hangings."
"Ah!" exclaimed Coquenll In sur
prise. "Do they know why Martinez
bored these holes?"
"To please the woman." was tho
prompt reply.
"Did she want Martinez killed T"" "
"No."
'Then why did sho want the holes
bored?"
"She wanted to see Into No. 7."
It was extraordinary.
"What do you waut with mo?"
"The persons I represent"
"Say the person you represent," In
terrupted Coquenll. "A criminal of
this type acts alone."
"As you like." answered tho other
carelessly. "Then the person I repre
sent wishes you to withdraw from this
case."
The messago was preposterous.
"Naturally," retorted Coquenll. "Tell
your friend or employer that I am only
mildly interested in his wishes."
The dark bearded mnu answered,
quite unruffled, "Ah. I may bo able
to heighten your interest" Tbe stron
ger drew from his coat pocket a large.
thick envelope fastened with an clas
tic band and handed It to tbe detective.
Coquenll's curiosity was stirred.
"What desperate purpose lurked be
hind his self confident mask? Could
It be that he knew the assassin or
or was he the assassin?
Wondering thus, M. Paul opened tho
tendered envelope and saw that it con
tained a bundle of thousand franc notes.
"There is a large sum here."
"Fifty thousand francs. It's for you.
and as much more will be handed you
the day you sail for Brazil. This- sum
Is a bonus in addition to the salary
already fixed. And, remember, you
have a life position there with a bril
liant chance of fame."
Coquenll snapped bis fingers. "I
don't care that for fame. I'm going to
work out this case for the sheer Joy
of doing it"
Ton will never work out thin case!"
"Why not?"
"Because you will not be allowed to.
It's doubtful if you could work it out.
but there's a chance that you could,
and wo don't purpose to take that
chance." !
He paused as if to check too vehe-I
ment an utterance, and M. Paul caught
a threatening gleam In his eyes that
he long remembered.
"Why?"
"If you do you will be thwarted at
every turn; you will be made to suffer
in ways you do not dream of, through
those who are dear to you, through
your dog, through your mother"
"You dare" cried CoquenIL
"We dare anything," flashed the
stranger. "I'm daring something now,
nm I not? Don't you supposo I know
what you are thinking? Well, I take
tbe risk because becauso you are in
telligent It is hopeless for you to
struggle against our knowlcdgo and
our resources, quite hopeless. Wo
have, for example, tho fullest Informa
tion about you and your llfo down to
iio smallest detail."

ASHLAND, April 20. It is prob
nble tliht (he city bonru of education
will soon tnke up in earnest the pro
ject for n new hih school building;
for Ashlnmi. Tho nmttor cmue be
fore tho board officially for tho ftrst
time two months ago, when a mo
tion prevailed to proceed with pre
liminaries in tho way of plans, site,
etc., but tto definite action of any
kind has been taken as yet. Au ac
tive investigation of suitable and
available sites for tho structure.
which it U peiiornlly agreed shall be
the finest school building in the city
and a credit in every respect to the
community, will probably bo begun
at an early date. The general nature
and extent of tho building will be
easily agreed upon, it is. plain, in
comparison with the selection of the
site. Tho board has not yet called
for a formal submission of proposi
tions to furnish the grounds for tho
new building, but many sites have
beeu suggested and in some instances
it is said that options have been se
cured so that certain sites can be
formally offered to tho board.
There is n strong demand that
ample grounds bo one of the first
requisites for the sito finally choseu.
and five or ten acres arc suggested
as "ample." But great difficulty in
finding such a site in anything like
a central location is so apparent at
once that it is hardly considered
feasible, however desirable it ranv be. 1
