We have shown that the mysterious visitor who called on Deinburg last night was not his assassin, because the evidences which seem so to indicate were laid down by design and did not come about by accident. They were laid down by the intention of some person, some’ person- who wished to establish that this visitor was the assassin, But the visitor himself could not have wishédi to establish that he was the assassin; consequently he could not have made these indicatory evidences, and ‘therefore he was not the assassin of Dérnburg Pasha.” He/paused. “And* now, monsieur, as I was not the visitor who called on Dernburg Pasha last night, it must be clear that . 1 was not:the assassin that struck him down. . These conclusions may seem o interlock with a slight obscurity. But if you reflect upon them, mon- sleur,, you will ohserve that they are sound ahd convincing.” . There was a moment's silence. Th# Oriental did not speak, and the Pre- féct of Police continued: . "Now, monsieur, we approach the second hypothesis: did you murder Dernburg Pasha? “Herq, monsieur,, one finds himself confronted with certain difficulties. You took charge of this house the moment it was ascertained that the man was dead.” ' : The Envoy interrupted: . . “I did, Mcnsieur. As a representa- ive of the Turkish government, it ‘was my duty to take charge at once of the property of one of its mur- dered citizens. I came at once and took charge of it.” £ “That is true, monsieur,” continued Prefect of Police. ‘You came as _had,the right to do, and you took gver this house as it was your duty to do" Anid from this-base we may go forward with the | hypothesis in . its flYnt inquiry—namely, did I create ese false evidences on the floor of is drawing room, or did you, or id the agency not now living under- e it?" ‘Now, . monsieur, let us consider suggestions in a reverse order.

I cannot have manufactured them, monsieur, because it is not con- ceivable that one undertaking the as- sassination would construct evidence of his erime to convict himself. Therefore, monsieur, by elimination, we seem to arrive at the conclusion that it was you who manufactured them.” . The Envoy's face semed to form it- self into a sort of plastic mask “Now,” Jonquelle went on, "if you manufactured them, monsieur, it was with a deliberate object.

These squares had been laid_down on wooden sills; nailed together, and floored over underneath, Each square had, therefore, a sort of wooden pocket benedth it. This wooden pocket under the white square that Monsieur Jonquelle removed, wag filled with gold-pieces. , | The Oriental, bending over, made a profound exclamation of surprise. He remained immovable in an over- whelming wonder. That the man was amazed at something of which, up to that moment, he had not had the slightest conception, was clearly evident, Monsieur Jonquelle permitted the marble square to go back into its place, and he returned to his chair. The Oriental sat down beyond him, speechless in his amazement. The Prefect of Police continued to speak as though the man's concern were not a thing which he had observed. “And 80 you see, monsieur, we have here the motive, the oppprtunity, and the construction of the: false evi- dences to indicate that you were the assassin of Dernburg Pasah. And again I beg you to observe how fatal it is to proceed with indicatory 'evi-i dences when one wishes to establish| a. theory. It is fortunate, monsieur, that it is I who considered these evi- dences against you, for it is I who know that Dernburg Pasha was dead when you arrived in this house.” He paused. ¥ i ‘And from the wound in his throat, I knew at once what hand it was that inflicted it—a hand not now living!"” DOINGS OF DUFFS SAY, HELEN, I'M GOING OUT FOR A LITTLE WHILE , BUT I'LL BE HOME EARLY!
