"Were TClttrctlgo and Martinez good
frlctidar
-Oh. yes."
"Never had any quarrel?"
'Wuy er no," she replied in some
confusion.
M don't vrant to distress you, made-
Rioiselle," said Coquenll gravely, "but
aren't you keeping something back?"
"No, no," she Insisted. "1 Just
thought of of n little thing that made
BXf nhappy, but it has nothing to do
Trttn tnw case, you believe me, uon
you?"
"Of course I believe you," Re smiled.
"Now I am going to give yon somo of
this tea. I'm afraid it's getting cold.
Now we'll BCttie"dqwn comfortably.
and you can tell mo what brought you
acre tell me all about It"
So Alice began and told him about
the mysterious lady.
"This" Is very important," ho eald
gravely. "What a pity you couldn
ret her namcl" He reflected that for
the second time this woman bad ca
ts pot 1 him.
"Does she speak with an accent?"
ae asked.
"She speaks fluently, like a foreigner
who has lived n long timo In Paris,
Itat she has a slight accent."
"Ahl Now give mo her messago
again. Aro you sure you remember It
exactly?"
"Quite sure. Besides, she made me
write It down so as not to miss
word. Here "It is," and, producing the
torn page, she read: Tell M. Klttrcdgo
that the lady who called for him In
the carriage knows now that the per
son she thought guilty last night is
sot guilty. She knows this absolute
ly, so sbo will be able to appear and
testify In favor of M. Kittrcdge if it
becomes necessary. But she hopes it
TWtll not be necessary. Sho begs M
Klttredge to use this, money for a
good lawyer."
"She didn't say who this person Is
that she thought guilty last night?"
"No."
"Did she say why she thought him
fcallty or what changed her mind?
Did she drop any hint? Try to re-
asember."
Alice shook her head negatively,
"What can we do?" murmured Alice,
twining her fingers piteously..
"We must get at the truth; wo must
JSnd this woman who came to see joxu
One quickest way to do that Is through
Xlttredgo himself. He knows all about
feer. It we can make him speak. So
tar be has refused to say a word, but
Mere Is one person who ought to un
seal his Hps that is the girl he loves."
"Oh, yes," exclaimed Alice, her face
lighting with new hope, "I think
-could, I am sure I could, only will
they let me see htm?"
"That k the point It is against
&e prison rale for a person au secret
to see any ono except his lawyer, but
l know the director of the Sante prls
eu, and I think"
Alice shivered at the word. "Yes,"
ho murmured, "and what were you
aaylngi"
"I say that I know the director of
the Sante, and I think, if I send you
to him with a strong note, ho will
saake an exception I think so."
Coquenll sat down and quickly ad-
tressed an urgent appeal to M. Dedet
director of the Sante, asking him to
grant the bearer a request and assur
lag him that by so doing ho would
confer upon Paul Coquenll a deeply
appreciated favor.
"There," he said, handing her the
Bote. "Now listen. You aro to find
ut certain things from your lover.
can't tell you how to find them out
that Is your affair but you must do It
Ton must And them out even if be
doesn't wish to tell you. Ills safety
and your happiness may depend on It
lou now write down what I must
know. Then I want to know about
the lady's husband. Is ho dark or
fair, tall or short? Does Klttredge
know him? nas ho ever had words
with him or any trouble? Got that?"
"Yes."
"Then do you know whether M.
Klttrcdgo plays tennis?"
Allco looked up in surprise. "Why,
yes, he does. I remember heating him
say be likes It better than golf."
"Ahl Now I want to know if M. Kit
trcdge uses both bands in playing ten
sis or only the ono hand. And I want
to know which band be uses chiefly
that is, the right or the left 7"
."Why do you want to know that?" in
quired Alice, ,wltb a woman's curiosity.
"Nover mind why; Just remember
Ifa important Another thing Is to
aak AI. Klttredge about a chest of
drawers In his room at tbo Hotel des
Strangers. It Is a piece of old oak,
rather worm eaten, but it has good
bronzes for the drawer handles, two
fega fighting on either side -of tlio lock
plates."
Alice listened in astonishment "I
didn't Bupposo you knew whero M.
Klttredge lived."
"Nor did I until this morning," he
nailed. "SInco then I well, as my
friend GIbellu says, I haven't wasted
my time."
"Your friend Gibclin?" repeated Al
ice, not understanding.
Coquenll. smiled grimly. "Ho is an
amiable person for whom I am prepar
ing a a little surprise."
"Oal And what about the chest of
draw, em?"
"It's about ono particular drawer,
the small upper ono on tho right hand
side. Better write that down."
"The small upper drawer on the
right hand side," repented Alice.
"I And that M. Klttredge always
kept this drawer locked. Ho seems to
bo a methodical person,'and I want to
know If he remembers opening it a
few days ago and finding it unlocked.
Havo you got that?"
"Yes."
"Goodl Oh. one thing more. Find
out If M. Klttredge ever suffers from
rheumatism or gout"
The girl smiled. "Of course he does
not. He Is only twenty-eight."
Tlease do not take this lightly,
mademoiselle," tho detective chldcd
gently. "It is perhaps the most im
portant point of nil. His release from
prison may depend oh it"
It was after G when Alice .left the
circular railway at tho Montrouge sta
tion. She came to nn open place where
she recognized Bartholin's famous Bel
fort Hon. Then she knew her way,
and. hurrying along the Boulevard
Arago, she came presently to the
gloomy mass of the' Sante prison,
which, with Its diverging wings and
galleries, spreads out like n great gray
spider in the triangular space between
the Hue Humboldt, the Kuc de la
Sante and the Boulevard Arago.
No sooner had the guard heard that
she came with a note from M. Paul
Coquenll than he showed her politely
to a small waiting room, A door open
ed, and a hard faced, low browed man
