It must be about that affair 1 had with Mr. Para- dos several months ago. The girl was in the hall, I remember. She probably heard something. Well, it was only right that she should tell you.” “It would have been better if you, had told me yourself,” Samuels said chidingly. “Yes, very likely I should have. The truth of the matter is, Mr. Samuels, I was so distressed by the affair that I did not wish to re- vive it. And then with Mr. Par- rados passing yesterday, I was less inclined than ever to bring it up. But I realize now that I was mis- taken” Professor Johns fiddled nervously with his glasses. “It is going to be difficult to make you understand what the old fort has come to mean to me.” “The fort was the cause of your quarrel, eh?” Samuels exclaimed. “Didn't the girl tell you?” “No. She didn't get much out of it. Just a word here and there.” “Ah, these half impressions are dangerous. But how shall T make you understand my point of view?"” “This fort, M. le Professeur,” Flique said gently, “it means much = to you?” ‘Does it mean much to me, you ack?” Emotion strangled his ut- terance. “My friends, that old fort and my work are my whole exis- tence. My work was done there—| my career came out of it! It is! the very bone and blood of my. body! The fort also has an histori-1 cal significance. It is one of the very few landmarks we have. I dreamed of having it restored— Parados promised me the money. And then—four months ago—" Professor Johns pressed his hands to his forehead. His stricken eyes pierced my heart. Even Samuels was touched. “Four months ago Parados in- formed me that I could pack up and get out! After 20 years, and all my dreams, gentlemen! He said he was going to pull down the fort . . brick from brick . . . untll there was nothing of it left . . . And why?” Johns flung ms’ elenched hands into the air. “Be-| cause it spoils his view! And be- eause he was going to bridge the Gut and use the grounds it stands on for part of a golf course!” That love of old things which makes a man give his life to buy- DI' c ‘,‘ D.

You will see.” “It's my opinion we've turned up enough evidence to keep you . en- thused as long as you live,” Sam- uels grunted. “But what is it?” and Flique shrugged. “A petal, two roses, a slash across the cheek of a ser- vant, a blackness trodden into a carpet, a newspaper with oil stains upon it, the hearsay of underlings | “You are leaving out the stuff that counts,” Samuels interrupted. “What about the conduct of that Brent gifl, Annersley’s, and every- body’s hatred of Parados, those two birds, le Balafre and Bec, Jahries snooping”in Annersley’s room—?" | “Exactly!” Fligé cut in. “There | is 'also "the price tag in the dead| hand of monsieur, that phoenix, that advertisement in the Marseilles journals, and Lum We's affection for his ancestor.

You may laugh—Anatole Fli- que has been laughed at before. The inward eye is the secret of the greatness of Anatole Flique.” Samuels shook his head irritably. “We are wasting time.

Vitaphone perfect in rendition of the speech and songs and music of “On With the Show,” is given marvelous real- ity by this innovation.
