CHAPTER VIII. (OntloueJ.I
As ha apoka M. LeCoq took from his
deak and unrolled a large eheet of draw
la paper. On thla paper waa photo
graphed tha door of M. Faovel'a aafe.
Tha arratck waa Indicated with great
actneaa.
"Now," ald M. Lecoq. here la our
cratch. It runt from top ta bottom,
farting from tha hnla In tha lock, diar
aally, and from laft to rUht; that la to
ay, it terminates on tha aid next to tha
private staircase leading to tha banker's
apartments. Although very deep at tha
keyhole. It enda la acarcly perceptible
mirk."
"Yea, patron. I a that."
Naturally you thought that this
cratch waa ruada by tha person who
took the money. Let ua aee if you were
right I have her a little iron box
painted with greeu Tarnish like .M Fau
vel's aafe; here it la. Take key and
try to scratch It. The paint Is Tery hard,
my friend, and Tt that on the aafe la
till harder and thicker. So you aee the
cratch you discovered conld not have
been made by the trcmbliug hand of
thief letting the key slip."
"Whew!" exclaimed Fanferlot. atupe
fled; "I never should have thought of
that It certainly required great force
to make the deep scratch on the aafe."
"Yea, but how waa that force employ
ed? I have been racking my bralu for
three days, and only yesterday did I
come to a conclusion. Let ua examine
together and aee If oar conjectnrea pre
sent enough chances of probability to
establish a starting point"
M. Lecoq abandoned the photograph
nd, walking to the door communicating
with his bedroom, took the key from the
lock, and, holding it in his hand, said:
"Come here, Fanferlot, and atand by
my side; there; Tery well. Now, sup
pose that I want to open this door, and
you don't want me to open it; when you
ee me about to Insert the key what
would be your first impulse 7"
"To put ray hands ou your arm and
draw it toward me so as to prevent your
Introducing the key,
"Precisely so. Now let us try it; go
on." Fanferlot obeyed; and the key
held by M. Lecoq, pulled aside from the
lock, slipped along the door, and traced
upon It a diagonal scratch, from top to
bottom, the exact reproduction of the one
la the photograph.
"Oh, oh, ohT exclaimed Fanferlot, in
three different tones 01 admirntlou. aa
he stood gaxing in a reverie at the door,
"What a man you are! I aee the scene
a if I had been present Two persona
were present at the robbery; one wished
to take the money, the other wished to
prevent its being taken. That is clear,
certain, and it proves that I am correct
in thinking tha cashier innocent1
"How sor
"Because, at perfect liberty to open
the safe whenever he wished to do so,
It is not likely that he would have
brought a witness when he Intended to
commit tbe theft"
"Well reasoned, Fanferlot But on
this supposition the banker would be
equally Innocent Look for the real
rogue, the one who opened the safe, and
tola the notes, and who is still at large,
while others are suspected."
"Impossible, patron impossible! Don't
70a kuow that M. Fauvel and his cashier
had keys, and they only? And they al
ways kept these keys In their pockets."
"On the evening of the robbery the
banker left his key In the secretary."
"Yes; but the key alone waa not suffi
cient to open the safe; the word must
also be known. That name waa 'Gypsy.'
"Which is the name of the cashier's
cousin. Now keep your eyes open. The
day you find a man sufficiently Intimate
with Bertomy to be aware of all .the cir
cumstances connected with this nnme,
nd at the same time on a footing with
the Fauvel family which would give him
the privilege of entering M. Fauvel's
chamber, then, and not till then, you will
discover the guilty party. On that day
the problem will be solved."
"We shall certainly succeed if yon In
terest yourself in the case."
"Yes, I am interested in It, and during
the last four days I have discovered
many important facts. But listen to me.
1 hare reasons for not appearing in this
affair. No matter what happens, I for
bid you mentioning my name.
"I will obey your instructions and be
discreet"
"I shall rely upon you. Now, to begin,
you must carry this photograph to the
Judge of instruction. Explain to him
as if it were your own discovery, what
I have just shrown you; repeat for his
benefit the scene we have just acted, and
I am convinced that this evidence will
determine him to release the cashier.
Prosper must be at liberty before I can
commence my operations.
Fanferlot was joyously picking up his
hat to go when M. Lecoq checked him by
waving his hand, and said
"I have not finished. Yon know how
to drive a carriage and manage horses?
Very well. As soon as the judge dis
misses you return home Immediately,
make yourself a wig and the complete
dress of a valet; and, having dressed
yourself, take this letter to the agency on
tbe Rue Delorme. The agent will send
you to M. de Clameran, who la looking
for a valet his man having left him yes
terday."
"Excuse me if I venture to suggest
that you are making a mistake. This
Clameran is not the cashier's friend."
"Why do you always interrupt me?"
said M. Lecoq, imperiously. "Do what
I tell you, and dou't disturb your mind
about the rest Clameran is not a friend
of Prospers, I know, but he is the friend
and protector of Raoul de Lagors. Why
so? Whence the intimacy of these two
men of such different ages? That is
what I must find out I must also find
out who this Ironmaster is, who lives in
Paris, and never goes to attend to his
furnaces. Through you I will have an
eye upon him. He has a carriage; you
are to drive it and you will soon be able
to give me an account of his manner of
life, and of the sort of people with whom
he associates.
"You will be obeyed. Where shall I
report to you?"
"I will call on you every day. Until
tell you differently don't step foot in
this house; you might be followed. 11
anything Important should happen end
a note to your wife, and she will lutorm
me. Go, and be prudeut."
The door closed on Fanferlot as M.
Lecoq passed Into his bedroom. In the
twinkling of an eye he had dWested him
elf of the appearance of a police offi
cer, lie took off his stiff cravat and gold
spectacles, and removed the close wig
from his thick black hair. The official
Ioq had disappeared, leaving In hia
place the genuine Lecoq whom nobody
knew a handsome young man, with a
bold, determined manner, and brilliant
piercing ejea.
Meanwhile Fanferlot did not run. but
flew, toward the Talaia de Justice. At
last he waa now able to couviuoe some
one that he, Fanuferlot, was a man of
wonderful perspicacity. His hoix-a were
not deceived. If the Judge was not
absolutely and fully convinced he admir
ed the Ingenuity of the whole proceed
ing. "This decides me," he said, as he dis
missed Fanferlot. "I will make out a
favorable report to-day; and it is hlshly
probable that the accused will be releas
ed to-morrow.
He began at once to write out ou of
those terrible decisions of "Not proven."

the accused man; which saya that he Is
not guilty, but doea not say he la Inno
cent CHAPTER IX.
Prosper had been languishing In hie
lonely cell for niue days, when on Thurs
day morning the jailer came to Inform
him of the Judge'a decision. He was
conducted before the officer who had
searched him when he was arrested; and
the contenta of hia pockets, hia watch,
penknife and aeveral articles of jewelry
were restored to him; then he waa told
to sign a receipt
He was next led across a dark pas
sage, and almost pushed through a door,
which abruptly ahut upou him. He found
himself on the quay; he waa alone; he
waa free, but only acquittal after due
trial would restore him to hia former po
sition among men.
Having arrived in front of Gypsy'a
house, he hesitated to cross the thresh
old. He experienced the timidity of an
honest man who la suspected of a crime;
he feared to meet a familiar face. How
ever, as he could not remain all day on
the pavement, he went In. The Janitor
nttered a joyful exclamation on seeing
him.
"I am delighted to see yon again!" he
said. "I felt that yon would come back
as white as snow. When I read In the
newspapers that you were accused of
robbery I said to every one, 'He Is inno
cent! "
"Madam haa, no doubt left here?' he
said; "do you know where she haa
gone?"
"No, monsieur. Ou the day of your
arrest she sent for a cab, put ail her
boxes into it and drove away without
saying where she was going. Since then
we have heard nothing of her. When
your father left this morning at 8 o'clock
he told me that one of his friends re
mained, whom I was to look upon as
the master until your return. You know
him, doubtless, a stout man, about your
height with red whiskers."
Prosper was greatly astonished. A
friend of his father occupying the house!
What did that mean? However, he con
cealed hia surprise.
"Yea, I know him," he said. Then,
rapidly ascending the staircase, he tang
hia own bell.
The cashier did not recollect having
seen him before.
I am delighted to make your ac
quaintance," said the man, with a bow.
That you are surprised to see me here,
yon were about to observe. I can easily
understand. Your father intended to in
troduce me to you, but he was obliged
to leave for Beaucaire this morning. I
am glad to say he went away as convinc
ed aa I am that you have not taken a
sou belonging to M. Fauvel. This let
ter," continued the stout gentleman, "will
serve aa an introduction, I hope.
The cashier took the letter, opened it,
and as he read his face brightened and
the blood returned to his cheeks. Hav
ing finished the letter, he held out his
hand to the stout gentleman, who shook
it warmly.
"My father tells me," said Prosper,
"that you are one of his best friends. He
tells me to place implicit confidence in
you and to act entirely on your advice,
Just so. This morning your father
said to me, 'Verduret that is my name
Verduret, my son is In a painful posi
tion. Yon must get him out of It'
answered, 'All right I wi" do my best'
Now the ice is broken, let ns discuss the
question. What are you going to do?"
What am I going to do? I am going
to find out the wretch who has caused
my ruin, and hand him over to Justice
to revenge myself."
"Exactly; and have yon any clew to
the guilty person T
None, and yet I shall succeed, for a
man who devotes his whole life to the
accomplishment of a task cannot fall."
"Well said, M. Prosper; I fully ex
pected such would be your intention, and
I have already been looking Into the
case, l have formed a plan. To begin
with, you must disappear."
"Disappear!" cried the cashier, India;
nantly. "Disappear! that would be 1
confession of guilt would authorize the
world to say that I am hiding so as to
enjoy undisturbed the stolen fortune."
"Well, what then?" said Red Whis
kers. "Did you not say just now that
the sacrifice of your life was made? You
have an enemy? Some petty Imprudence
will betray him. But while he sees you
standing on the watch he will be on his
guard. Let us reflect on the course you
should pursue. Now listen. You have
a friend, M. de Lagors? Who Is this
fellow?"
"M. de Lagors, monsieur," said Pros
per haughtily, "la M. Fauvel s nephew
a wealthy young man, handsome, intelli
gent cultivated, and tbe best friend
have."
"Humph!" said M. Verduret "I shall
be delighted to make the acquaintance of
one adorned with so many charming
qualities. I must let you know that

"I will think It over." Prosper finally
forced himself to say. "I will see. I
would like to know what M. Fauvel

"My uncle? I suppose yon know that

Catherine de Medici'a maids of honor;
and It is to be a marvel of beauty."
Excessive suffering brings with It a
sort of dull insensibility and stupor; and
'rosper thought that there was nothing
left to be Inflicted upon him.
"I must leave you now, my dear Pros
per; on Saturday I will see these ladies
at the ball, and will bring you news of
them. Now, do have courage, and re
member that whatever happens, you

Servant In Rnasla Cannot Testify In
Court Against Their Masters.
Although serfdom was abolished in
Russia many years ago by tbe first
Nicholas, the conditions of tbe work
ing people there have not greatly Im
proved. The lot of the' domestic ser
vant la especially bard. He is hired
for one year and Is told exactly what
his particular duty la to be. He then
ticks to that one duty. Aa long as
each servant faithfully performs the
special duties of his position all Is
well, but the neglectful butler or cook
or coachman Is sent by the employer
with a written note to the police judge,
who, after carefully Investigating the
complaints, has a right to order bodily
punishment or to write a bad mark
In the book kept for this purpose.
In great Russian households often
from twenty to fifty servants are kept,
and even the middle-clans families
have from two to four. The pay of
these servants varies according to tbe
line of work. While the "chiefs" la
the kitchens of wealthy families often
receive $1,500 a year, a cook In an
ordinary citizen's employ gets no more
than $60 a year, and a maid of all
work never gets more than $25 a year
At Easter every servant gets a pres
ent generally a suit or dress.
Every other Sunday the servants in
a Russian household are entirely free
Their work stops Saturday night after
supper, when the servants leave tbe
house not to return until the next
Monday morning. Tbe employers
never ask where or how the free time
Is spent
Russian servants will pilfer. Since
Russian ladles leave everything to the
care of the servants, the latter do as
they please.
The men servants smoke cigars bo-
longing to their masters and pay fre
quent visits to the wine cellars of the
house, but a gentleman would consider
It "demeaning" himself to prosecute a
servant for this.
The Russian servants will talk
about fellow servants, but never about
their employers. Even when they
quit one place and take service In an
other family they would never mea
tlon anything about their former mas
ters. This discretion goes so far that
even the law considers It. In Russia
the law excludes servants as witness
es against their former or present em
ployers, bo long, at least, as these ser
vants are not suspected of having
taken part In the crime.
There are only two powers In tho
world, the sword and the pen; and
In the end the former is always con
quered by the latter. Napoleon.

THE SIOUX MOTHER-IN-LAW,
TTTTTTTTT
It is one of the oldest customs of
the Sioux Indians that the Aon In-law
shall not look upon the face of IiIj
mother-in-law, or communicate with
her any more than Is absolutely nec
essary. This custom Is probably the
outgrowth of family brawls arising
from their crude way of living, hud
dled together In huts and tepees. At
all events, the plan teems to work
well.
When, In case of sickness, or by In
vitation from her daughter, the moth
er-in-law visits the family of her son-in-law,
a partition is usually made
lu the hut or teepee by mean of a
blanket, behind which the mother-in-
law retires whenever the son-in-law
approaches the home.
In the ease of John Night Pipe, a
young bridegroom living in leu
Horn's camp on the reserve, the in
visible mother-in-law was a source of
great disturbance. Although he never
beheld her person, the sound of her
scolding voice easily penetrated the
blanket wall. John made several
fruitless efforts to dislodge bis mother-in-law,
and send her to her home on
the other part of the reserve, but
without avail. He finally decided to
appeal to the Indian agent for relief,
This is his letter:
"My Dear Respectable Friend I
have a few words to say to you, and
they are that I am sorry to myself,
It is an old woman that makes me
very sorry every day because ahe talks
with bad, bad words always to roe,
and never gets rested with her tongue,
and I hate this kind of business, tho
bad words, I mean, holding them al
ways with her tongue that way.
"Now, if you will sending your po
liceman to take this woman to her
camp, I will be your truly friend with
a good heart, sir, and we will living
haDDY again. Now thla Is all and this
la me.
"Your acquaintance friend,
"MR. JOHN NIGHT PIPE."
The letter proved effective. The dis
turbing mother-in-law was sent to her
home in Black Moon's camp, and the
young people were left In possession
of an undivided teepee.
The story, which comes direct from
an Indian agency In Dakota, proves
that the mother-in-law Joke Is not
wholly the fabrication of the comic
paper. '
