The Marquis continued to regard the Prefect with a certain interest. “You mean,” he said, “that the peason why the Apache, Jean Lequex, did not tell what he had done with the necklace, was, in ‘act, because he had given it to a woinan?"

She returns tomorrow, does she not? It seems a brief time for so difficult an undertaking.” M. Jonquelle smiled. “T regret to intrude upon your pleasure, Marquis, and especially on this, the final night of Mme. Zirten- zoff's * triumph—amazing woman, adorable woman! One should lose no moment of her excellence.'” He pausedy “But monjteur, I cannot adequately admire youriexcellent handling of this matter unless I am quite certain that I have the details of it correctly. Permit me, monsieur, to repeat these details, and correct me, I beg of you, if T should present them with an item MO- the of inaccuracy. I was absent and I have only the memory of inferiors.” The Prefect of Police rested his arm on the seat ‘of the box, while the Marquis fingered his monocle idly, twisting the silk cord: He assumed an attitude of careless attention, and M. Jonquelle went on: “On the night of the 18th of Feb- ruary, Monsieur le Marquis, opening the door of his apartment at a late hour, saw a slip of paper heside the door. At the moment the Marquis gave this item no attention; it did net impress him . It was late, the serc- ants having retired, and the Marquis withdrew to his bedroom alone. “Tt appears, however, that di- gregsions of the mind occur to all of us, even to the Marquis de Chantelle on the border of dreamland.

It contained some numbers written with a pencll and the words in a strained, unformed hand: ‘The com- bination of the safe of the Marquis Chantelle. “Monsieur turned at once small safe which is built into _the wall of the apartment after the American fashion. He tried the com- bination written on the slip of paper, found it correct, opened the safe and discovered that the necklace had dis- appeared.” The Prefect of Police hesitated in the narrative and addressed an in- quiry. “It is true, monsieur,” he said *that you did not know the combination of this safe, that the combination was known only to your wife, the Mar- quise, and that more than once, for example at the Cafe Anglais on the 14th of December at midnight, when any creature from the underworld of Paris might have been present. you spoke of the danger of keeping this necklace in a small private safe in to, the quis, however, did not arise at that ! he apartment when posited with a banker? objections the Marquise turned the same angwer—that she alone had the combination of the |safe?

"It I8 true," replied the “But it was not discreet, as after- |events have demonstrated Perhaps by these discussions we gave Informa- tlon of the whereabotits of this neck- lace to this Apache Lequex.'! The Prefeot of Police made a vague re and continued to speal, he Marquis, upon discovery of the pobbery, at once notified the Serv- ice de la Surete; old Forneau and an agent arriyed immediately. Upon examination of the bit of - paper, it proved to be a slip bearing the name in print of Moore-Poole & Co,, a firm of American brokers in Parls. “Old Tornea'n at once suggested | that the robbery must have been com- mitted by some one from the office of these brokers, probably an American, (since the slip of paper must have come- from some one employed in that establishment. ‘But here the Marquis Chantelle, {showing an intelligence superior to that of this officer of the' Surete, pointed out that no one would come on such @» adventure bringing with him a plece of paper, and especially an indicatory plece of paper, upon which to set down such a memoran- dum, It was far more likely that the iplece of paper had been acquired somewhere in the apartment. He then suggested that an inquiry he made to discover whether some oneé from this American firm of Moore-Poole & Company had not at one time occupled an apartment in Ahe building, “I‘ornegu acted upon this svgges- tion and ascertained ..that Monpieur the Marquis was correct.

In the publication of the figures showing the average daily circula- tion of the Herald: for the week ending November 11 to be 9,031, we take ‘this opportunity to explain that the gain of 442 over the daily average of the preceding week, is due largely to the election period increase. We make this explanation in order that this week’s statement, which ! shows an unusual increase for a single week, will not be misunderstood. That the Herald’s efforts to serve the city during election time by publishing an Extra to give complete results of New Britain’s vote was appreciated is evidenced from the sale of that issue and the abnormal increase in the number of copies sold daily during the entire week. .. The average circulation of the Herald is now in excess of 8,500 copies daily, which we venture to assert is at least twice that of any other news- paper published in New: Britam.
