Freyberger opened the envelope. It contained a copy of @ message just recelved from Carlisle. “Very sorry, one detail overlooked by some strange mischance In report of Gyde case, Over second right cos- tal cartiiage of body found ure the initials "E.

The whole case for him had tumbled to pleces like a house of cards, if “E K.,” Klein's initials, were tattooed on the corpse, then the corpse was Klein Gyde was a murderer, and Freyberg- er a fool, go he told Bi.nself, Then be exclaimed aloud: “Two faint blue letters tattooed over the second right costal cartilaye'—the sLefarge case, the bust, the man, the ‘artist. Why did not this occur to me before? My theory is not shattered, Though these letters, wattoved upun Yhe corpse, plunges the case into deeper depths, though they show @ more profound mechanism, what do 1 "care for that, so long aa they do not shatter my theory?” : He left the room, gave all the things he had been examining into tie safe Keeping of the sergeant superinten- -dent, and went home. In his room were a serics of notebooks, He drew one out, and looked up the letter “L” and found this entry: “Lefarge case, book B, page 115." ‘Then |.e placed book B upon the table, opened it at pase 116 and, draw- Ing up a chair, plunged into details, He just scanned the columns of “printed matter over first for names before going thro.sh the case in de- tail His heart bounded when he came upon the arn f@gain upon the name Mulle:, and Again and again. * Muller had a lot to do with the busi.

Lefarge, !t appears, had owned a “ shop in the Hue de la Paix. He wasa Jeweller and very wealthy, He was also a widower, and his family con- Sieted of une daughter, Cecile, whom we suw tn the Brat pages of this story, and who, at the ume of the Le- (arge tragedy, Was Just sixteen years of age. ‘ It avpears that Lefarge had many friend wouth of the Seine; he was well k@@wn in the Latin quarter as a patron of art and a merry companion when the fit took him, and altogether ag @ god sort, Among the Bohemian acquaintances of Lefarge there was a man named Muller, Muller was a sculptor, Well, Muiler one day made the ac- quaintance of M. Lefarge. The jew- eller was not only wealthy but vain, ‘and before long he commissioned Muller to execute a bust of himself (Letarge) giving him numerous sit- tinge for that purse. Hi also wished for a bust of his daughter, but Cecile Lefarge posi- tively refused to sit, She had taken ‘a dialike to thé sculptor, one of those Gisljkes that are born of Instinct, ae dark owreeeer The Cottage on the Fells One of the Strangest Detective Stories Ever Written By H. De Vere Stacpoole (Author of “The Ship of Coral,” to) Sa Re RETR ee oe ke ee re drove to the house where Muller lodged in the Rue de Turbigo. The concierge saw him enter. Muller was in, he lived on the tup floor, and up the etaire went Lefarge to visit the sculptor. An hour or eo later he came down, carrying a Diack bag, got into his carriage, and drove home to the Rue de la Paix. Here he collected all his most valuable jewols. Jewe over a hundred thousand pound: drove in his carriuge with them to the corner of the Rue d'Amsterdam, where he alighted. The coachman said he was carrying two bags, one the bag he bad brougpt from Muller's house, the other the bag contakning the jewels, He told the coachiusan to Wail fur him, turned the corner of the @ireel, and wus never seen again. An hour later, in the Kue de Tur- digo, Muller's landlady took son coffee up to him, she found his di capitated body lying on the floor, In the pocket of Muller's coat was a let- ter, the copy of a Diackmailing let ter written by Muller to Lefurye some months before, In the descrip. tion of the dead body of Muller the existence was mentioned of two in- itials, “W. M.” (the man’s tnittals) tattooed in pale blue ink over the second right costal cartilage, Muller, the victim of Lefarge, had made a bust of his assassin, Klein, the victim of Gyde, had made a bust of his assassin. Upon the body of Muller found the copy of an old blackmail. ing letter addressed to Lefarge. In the room where Kiein waa found dead was found a copy of a blackmailing letter addressed to Gyde. Upon each of the murdered men's chests were tattooed initials, exactly in the same place, over the second right costal cartilage. A strange similarity bound th two cnace together, but the strangest thing drawing the two cases together was the fact, the almost certain fact, that Muller and Klein were one and the same person. “Now, If this Is s argued Frey- berger, “there are only four men to pick our criminal agent from. He must be elther Lefarge, Muller, Klein or Gvde. “Muller and Klein sbeing the same person, the case ts reduced to @ ase of three men from whom to pick our criminal, “He cannot be Lefarge simply be- cause Lefarge cannot be Cyd He cannot be Gyde simply because Gyde cannot be Lefarge. It must then be Klein, al Muller. “If my premise ts cofrect, that Klein and Muller are one and the same person, and that the active agent in both cases is the same man, then it is mathematically proved that the criminal! is Klein, He is undoubtedly the greatest criminal the world has ever seen, and 1 have not in the least fathomed his infernal method. The method by which he has, I fully believe, mur- dered two men, making the world be: leve that they have murdered him. “Now my theory is that Gyde ts Innocent and that Klein le certainly guilty, not of the murder of some un- known man, but of Gyde, Yet the mystery etill remains of the tattoo- ing. How Is It that the Initials of Muller were tattooed on the breast of a corpse that could not have been the corpee of Muller, and the Initials of Klein on a corpse that I am sure 19 not that of Klein? 1 cannot tell yet, but we shall see.” Fr received CHAPTER IX. Hellier Takes the Field. JELLIER meantime had been active in his investigations, seeking to solve the mystery of the Lefarge affair—that would bring him closer to Cectle, He made many Inquiries in Parie and came at last to London. A few daye after his return to bis roome at Clifford's Inn he received the following note from Cecti 'Boulogne-sur- Mer. “Dear Friend: We arrive London to-day. Meet us Langham Hotel 6 o'clock; important. CECILE LEFARGE.” As Hellier walked across the court- yard of Clifford’s Inn with this mis- sive in his pocket, the sky above was sapphire blue, the sun wae shining brightly, also trees were blooming around him and olghtingales singing in the branches. At 6 o'clock to the minute he pre- sented himself at the Langham, a: certained that Mademoiselle Lefarge and her aunt bad arrived and were expecting him, and was shown to their private sitting room. The eaine day, Freybe: 8 telegram reading: “Boulogne-sur- Mer, “Ilave received your, communica- tion through French Police, Will be at the Langham Hotel this evening at seven, bring all evidence with me.

An old lady with white hair, a young woman whom be recognized by instinct as Mademoiselle Lefarge, and a man of about thirty or perhaps thirty-five, clean-shaven, English-looking, and with the stamp of a barrister, Needless to say the man was Heilly Cecile Lefarge gazed at the new- comer for a moment nds then advanced, with hand outstretched, tn such @ kindly and@ frank manner as quite to captivate even the unemo- tional Freyberger, “I need not ask you," she sald, “for 1 am quite sure you are the gentle- man mentioned by M,.

He Is dead; my dear father Is dead—some instinct has long told me that, Al I hope for ie revenge.” “Il may give you that," said Frey- berger quite simply. “A terrible crime has been committed in England, a crinte almost exactly similar to that which was committed im the Rue de Turbigo eight years ago.” “An! “We are inveatigattng that crime; we believe the active agent in it to be the active agent In the crime of the Rue de Turbigo. If we can prove this incontrovertibly by the capture of the active agent for whom we are seoking, your father’s name will be quite cleared of any tmputation.” “Go on, please,” she sald. ‘1 must first,” said Freyberger, tak- ing a parcel from his pocket, “a you to look at this.” He handed a photograph to the girl. She looked at it and gave a short, sharp cry, as though some one had struck her. “Muller!” she said, holding the thing away from her with a gesture of terror.

Lefarge, which we have already seen. Scarcely had she done so than a knock came to the door and appeared bearing a ealver, on which reposed a Oithy-looking visiting card. Cecile took the thing, om which was scrawled: “I, Antonides, art dealer, No. 1006 Old Compton street.” “Gentleman is outside, miss,” sald the walter, whose cast-iron face was struggling witb @ grin and conquer- Ing It. “Show him in," sald Cecile, and I. Antonides entered. The Greek took a spectacle case from his pocket, drew forth a pair of steel-rimmed spectacles and adjusted them upon his nose, Then pe exam- Ined the bust attentively. “Well?” asked Freyberger, Well,” answered the other, quite regardiess of the other peuple pres- ent, “Where are your eyes, could you Not see that this bust ts, from an art- istic pdint of view, the twin brother of that which I repaired for you?" “1 was sure of it,” said Freyberger, “Then why did you ask my opinion?" ‘Because I wanted to make doubly aur “Well, you have done so,” sald An- tonides, taking his spoctacles off and replacing them In bis pocket. “You may take my word for it that the man who executed this bust was also the author of that admirable piece of work which some Philistine smashed with his coal hammer.’ Antonides bowed slightly to tho ladies, seized his old hat, which he had placed on a chair, and, escorted by Freyberger, left the room. When FerybBerger returned Mile. Lefarxe wan atill standing in exactly the eame place where #he had atood while the old’ man wae giving his opinion on the buat. But Hellier had stepped forward. Speaking rapidly to Freyberger, ho wald: “I undertook to investigate this I went to Paris, | saw every one who could tn the least throw light on it, I went into all the evidence. 1 said to myself the case is hopeless; forgive me for having said this even to myself. Well, one day, by chance, in an old file of the Petit Journal, f sow the case of *n old man named Mesnier; he had been strangled for no apparent reason, and an important witness gald that he had seen a man leaving Mesnier's room shortly after the time the tragedy must have taken place, and he said that he would have sworn that this man was Muller, only for the fact that Muller was known to be dead.” “Ah, ahi" said Freyberger, who was listening tntently, “How long after the Lefarge affair was this?” "A few days, on a few days Inter a woman was strangled in fleld for no apparent motive save murder, and a few days later a child was also killed upon the high road Paris in @ similar manner, [ read these things, but though they made an impression upon mo, I said to myself, Muller {» dead, they can have fo relationship to the crime in the ‘Rus de Turbigo.

Paris. I can sup: ply you with the dates.” “No use; I don't want to know de- tals, Simply the fact that these crimes were committed suffices me. “Do you think the fact will be of use to you?" asked the girl. “It muy and it may not,” he ree plied. “And now, mademoiselie, 1 will take leave of you, There te much work to be done and tam re- quired elsewhere, 1 will keep you Informed of our progress, that is to say, as far us is in my power, You are staying at the hotel? “Yes, for some time.” “Thank you; good evening.” He bowed to old Madame de Warena, who had been @ somewhat unintelll- gent spectator of all that hud passed; he gave a slight, atiff bow to Hellier and left the room, ° Hellier rose to hia feet. “1 must speak to that man," he sald, taking Cectle Lefarge's hand in both his, “I must catch him before he leaves the hotel, May I see you to-morrow?” “Yes, come early.” He left the room with something In his hand, It was @ small bunch of violets she had taken from her breast. CHAPTER X. Hellier and Frey berger. N the entrance hall of the Langham Freyberger drew @ long, black, puisono looking chersot from hie pocket and Mit it, Heller overtook him, “I would like & moment's conversa- ton with you,” sald the barrister, “Certainly, certainly,” sald other, in a not too amiable “What can I do for you’ “1 will tell you what I think In a few words, This Muller accomplished a deeply reasoned out and tatricate crime in Paris eight years ago.
