JONQUELLE, greatest detective in France, {s discussing the mystery of the theft of the diamond neck- lace of the Marquise, Before them, on the stage, is the beautiful MME. ZIRTENZOFF, 1dol of Before entering the Marquis' M. Jonquelle halted an usher who was leaving and managed to secure for a moment a bouquet of orchids which the Marquls was sending to the singer, M. Jonquelle reviews the theories of the theft. The 'marquis had sug- gested the theories which led to the arrest and confession of Jean Lequex. Lequex was sentenced but did not tell where the jewels could be found. “It was my assistant IForneau who followed your theories,” M. Jonquelle told the Marquis. Im- wealthy Paris, GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER IIL' "It now occurred to Forneau that this robbery had been committed by thieves of Paris, who were accus- tomed to enter any building which they were able to get into, and to search any apartment that they hap- pened. to find open,” continued M. Jonquelle. “But the Marquis reminded For- neau that the person committing this robbery had brought with him a plece of paper from the basement, that mere thieves entering on the chance of finding some valuables would not have this precaution. “This theory pleased I'orneau, and he adopted every excellent suggestion which the Marquis was able to make. But he ventured to wonder from what source the thief had been able to obtain the combination to the safe, since it was known only to Mme. la Marquise. “The Marquis was again able to in- dicate a valuable suggestion. Women, he ventured to suggest, had always the same habits. They did not trust their memories for anything that re- quired an accuracy of numbers. The / Marquis would have somewhere this memorandum written down. He sug- gested that Forneau make a search ‘of her writing table. “To their surprise they found the . lock to the drawers of this table broken, and among some papers has- ‘tlly turned over, at the back of one * of these drawers, a small book with a red leather cover. On the last page, " in pencil, was precisely the same memorandum which the Marquis had picked up on the slip of paper under the door—'the combination to the safe of the Marquise de Chantelle,’ and following the four columns. of four figures. *The problem which now presented itself was to discover what employe in the building could have written this memorandum. Forneau and the Marquis had before them the hand- writing. With the histories and as- sociates of the valet, the concierge and the older employes they were fa- miliar, and were convinced that it was not one of these persons; but there were other employes in this apartment, and the problem was how to obtain specimens of their hand- writing without incurring suspicion. In his perplexity Forneau asked the opinion of the Marquis de Chantelle. “The: Marquis suggested the fol- lowing clever device: The Service de la Surete should send an agent to the building pretending to be an official of the government concerned with certain mental tests required, in order to register citizens for the elec- torate. Among other tests, he siould require them to write the names of the president of Krance and that of the premier at the close of the war, This would include the names of Mil- lerand and Clemencean, and by this means they could obtailn the M of the Marquis and the C of the word Chanelle, which had been written by the unknown thief upon the memo- randum which contained the com- bination of the safe.” The Prefect of Police stopped.

He found an employe lately taken on by the concierge because he offered to assist in cleaning the building at a lower cost. The agent from the Service de la Surete came to this per- son In the coutse of his interview with the employes of the building. *“ Monsieur,” he said, ‘I am com- pelled to ask you to submit to some mental tests, but I will make them brief. Tell me the form of govern- ment under which we live and write down for me the name of the presi- dent of France and that of the pre- mier who conducted the peace terms in the Great War, and I will give you no further annoyance.' ‘The man replied that France was a republic and wrote the name of Alexander Millerand. But when he came to write the C in Clemenceau, he hesitated. The agent seized him BOSTON JaTouraine “Coffee at once, ped a of L on him and confronted him with For. neat, He was shown the slip of paper which the Marquis had plcked up In his apartment, He was told the detalls of the crime as he had carried ftvout, and In his confusion he confessed.” The Prefect of Police continued to speak, slowly, without a change of accent, as If to himaself, onsieur le Marquis will remem- ber the Apache's confession; he had obtained a position in the bullding and had watched the Marquis' apart. ment. As It happened the night of the robbery was not the first time that the Marquis had left the door unclosed in the afternoon, It was then that this man had gone In— taking with him a slip of paper from the basement—broke open the Mar- quise’s desk and searched for the combination, which he finally found and wrote down, The search had re- quired a very long time, and he had not time on this day to open the safe, He had taken the paper with him and waited until this night on which the Marquis had again gone out, leav- ing the door unlatched. ““Then he had opened the safe and removed the necklace. He thought that in putting the necklace into his pocket he must have pulled the slip of paper out, and by this means it had fallen to the floor where the Marquis had picked it up. “The man made no defense and walved all legal procedure. He con- fessed and has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment. But he re- fused to say what he had done with the necklace.” M. Jonquelle, watching the Mar- quis, took a box of cigarettes out of his pocket and slipped his thumb- nail around the stamp, but he did not open the box. He spoke sudden- ly to the Marquis de Chantelle; his voice -was sharp, clear, and ‘its tones arrested the man's attention. “Monsieur de Marquis,” he said, “Mme. Zirtenzoff will not be pleased with her bouquet of orchids,” The Marquis turned suddeniy on him;. his eyes were now . contracted with an intense expression. You know, Monsjeur, ‘that I have sent a bouquet of - orchids, to Mme. Zirtenzoff ?" “Surely, - Monsieur,” replied the Prefect of Police, *I passed the boy departing with them when I entered. Theéy were very lovely, superb, ex- quiste, the Mottled Butterfly! How amptly adapted is that flower to Mon- sieur le Marquis!” The Marquis continued to him, ’ “And why, Monsieur, do you com- pare me with this variety of orchid?"” “It you will tell me, Morsieur le Marquis,” replied the Prefect of Po- lice, “why Jean Lequéx refused to say where the necklace was that he had! stolen, I will answer your question.” The hauteur in the Marquis’ voice was now distinctly audible. “Monsieur,” he said, “it was you who promised to tell me that.” “And I shall tell you,” replied Jon- quelle, “Jean Lequex refused to say where the necklace was for the very good reason that he did not . know where it was."” M. Jonquelle looked steadily in: the face. g “The agent of the Surete neglected to mention to Monsieur an item or regard the Marquis two of their discoveries: the writing i ‘tue slip of paper had. been made W.S.QUINBY COMPANT DOINGS OF DUFFS 7 s ‘ LY HERE COMES THAT PEST, DON SMART - | WONDER |F HE INTENDS TO CALL ON ME?P YOU CAN BE PROUD OF- WILL ONE BE.

The Marquis regarded the Prefect of Pollce with an amazed expression, his lips parted, his eyes wide, “Then, Monsleur,” he stammered, “you have dlscovered neither the thief nor the necklace." “Ah, yes,” replled M, Jonquelle ‘in the modulated volce of one who bids another adieu. “We have discovered both." He took a mass of jewels his walsteoat pocket and them to the Marquis. “I found these in the bouquet of orchids which you were sending to Mme, Zirtenzoff. ‘May I trouble you to present them to Madame la Mar- quise when she shall return . from America tomorrow?"
