SYNOPSIS: intended?" replied Jonquelle. M. Surete Jonquelle, and chief of the Serv-. ice de the greatest tective in France, is attempting to solve the mystery surrounding the theft of a diamond necklace from the MARQUISE DE CHANTELLE, wealthy American wife of the impoverished MARQUIS DE CHANTELLE. The beautiful MME.

ZIRTENZOFF was singing when M. Jonquelle entered the opera and proceeded to the box occupied one the Marquis. Before entering, stopped an usher who was leaving with a large bouquet of orchids. On the pretext of sending the usher for cigarets, M. Jonquelle held the orchids for a time and then entered the box of the Marquis.

The Marquis asks M. Jonquelle If he can tell why Jean Lequex, who confessed to the theft of the necklace, would not tell where the necklace was concealed. CHAPTER II M. Jonquelle smiled at the MarGuis. "But I must be permitted, moneieur le marquis, to hold my explanation as a sort of wage egainst the details of your story.

The Service de la Surete is filled with admiration for you; you must omit no item of the narrative Ah, how enchanting Mme. Birtenzoff is! Hair like a sunburst of dreams, and the figure of dryad! One would do murder for her." The Marquis laughed. "Murder, monsieur?" "Ah, yes," replied the Prefect, or any lesser crime." The Marquis looked the Prefect frankly in the face. "You believe this robbery could have been committed for a woman?" "For whom other could jewels bel The Marquis continued to regard the Prefect with a certain interest. "You mean," he said, "that the reason why the Apache, Jean Lequex, did not tell what he had done with necklace was, in fact, because had given it to a thee woman?" The Prefect of Police looked at the Marquis with some, concern, with, in fact, a certain element of wonder.

"Why, no, monsieur, that is not the reason at all." The Marquis seemed puzzled. "Do you generalize, then, to no definite purpose?" "By no means," replied the Prefeet of Police. "I would generalize to the solution of this mystery; and with M. le Marquis' aid, I think I can arrive at it." "Monsieur," replied the Marquis coldly, "I believe the mystery has already been concluded; I believe its solution seems complete." repeated the Prefect of Police, "is the word precisely. While it is true that the criminal, Jean Lequex, has confessed before the court and been sentenced to a term of years for the robbery of these jewels, the jewels remain to be discovered." He paused and regarded the Marquis with an expression of compliment.

"We feel, at the Service de la Surete, that if we could bring to remaining feature of this matter the same degree of excellent acumen that was brought to its initial stages, by the Marquis de Chantelle, we should be able to restore the necklace to the Marquis upon her return from America. She returns tomorrow, does she not? It seems a brief time for so difficult an undertaking." M. Jonquelle smiled. "I regret to introude upon your pleasure, Marquis, and especially on this, the final night of Mme. Zirtenzoff's triumph--amazing woman, adorable woman! One should lose no moment of her excellence." He paused.

"But monsieur, I can not adequately admire your excellent handing of this matter unless I am quite certain, have the details correctly. Permit me, monsieur, to repeat these details, and correct be, I beg with of you, if item I should present them an of inaccuracy. I was absent and I only the memory of inferiors." The Prefect of Police rested his arm on the seat of the bxo, while the Marquis his monocle idly, twisting cord. He fingered, assumed an attitude of careless attention, and M. Jonquelle went on: "On the night of the 18th of February, Monsieur le Marquis, opening the door of his apartment at a late hour, saw a slip of paper beside the door.

At the moment the Marquis gave this item no attention; it did not impress him. It was late, servants having retired, and the Marquis withdrew to his bed room alone. "It appears, however, that disgressions of the mind occur to all of us, even to the Marquis de Chantelle on the border of dreamland. It occurred to him that this slip of paper was a memorandum by the concierge to call the attention of the Marquis that upon had his arrival to some inquiry been made for him. The Marquis, however, did not arise at that hour to verify this impression, but in the morning when he awoke, he remembered it, and going into the drawing room in his dressing gown and slippers--it was before the arrival of his valet -he found the slip of paper where it had remained as though, it had been slipped under door.

"The Marquis was surprised when he came to examine this bit of paper. It contained some numbers written. with a pencil and the words in 8 strained, unformed hand: "The combination of the safe of the Marquis "Monsieur turned at once to the small safe which is built into the wall of the apartment after the American fashion. He tried the combination written on the slip of paper, found it correct, op- To get the most out of life, you must enjoy it.

But without health, you cannot enjoy life. If your nerves are irritated and weakened by the effects of coffee or tea drinking, you cannot have good health.

"It is true." monsieur," he said, "that you did not know the combination was only to your wife, the Marquis, 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 the apartment when it should be deposited with a banker? But to these objections the Marquise always returned the same answer that she alone had the combination of the safe? This is true? "It is true," replied the Marquis. after-events "But it was not discreet, demonstrated. as have Perhaps by these discussions we gave information of the whereabouts of this necklace to this Apache Lequex." The Prefect of Police made a vague gesture and continued to speak.

"The Marquis, upon discovery of the robbery, at once notified the Service de la Surete; old Forneau and an agent arrived immedlately. Upon examination of the bit of paper, it proved, to be a slip bearing the name in print of Moore-Poole firm of American brokers in Paris. Forneau at once suggested that the robbery must have been committeed. by some one from 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 an adventure bringing with him a piece of paper, and especially an indicatory piece of paper, upon which to set down such a memorandum.

It was far more likely that the piece of paper had been acquired somewhere in the apartment. He then suggested that an inquiry be made to discover whether some one from this American firm of Moore-Poole Company had not at one time occupied an apartment in the building. "Forneau acted upon this suggestion and ascertained that Monsieur the Marquis was correct. He discovered a quantity of these blank printed slips in the basement of the building, where, with other rubbish, they had been retained by the consierge to kindle fire in the furnace. "Thus Monsieur the Marquis at one stroke removed any suspicion that might have been attached to this firm of brokers and confined the inquiry to some one, having access to the building knowledge of it, else would not have been in the basement where this debris from the partments of old tenants had accumulated.

"The query as to the robber had obtained access to the Marquis' apartment on this night now advanced itself. There is no key to these apartments except the one bank delivered to the the lease. tenant by making "When the door is closed, it is locked from the outside--that is to say, the knob of the door does not turn on the outside; it turns only on the inside, so that it can always be opened from the inside, whether locked or not. "It cannot be opened from the outside because the handle of the doorknob, as I have said, does not turn. How, then, would this robber enter the Marquis' apartment? Again the Marquis was able to give Forneau an explanation.

"On the evening of the robbery, it wah his intention to remain in his apartment. He had dismissed his valet and the servants and was alone. Later he changed his mind and concluded to go out. Upon erflection he remembered that he did not entirely the door; but it was a thing which did not at the moment impress him. "It was his habit, always, of course, to close the door, and he had closed it, but upon returning for a glove, he had left the door ajar.

This he was afterward able to establish because of a trivial incident. He remembered the glitter of the electric light on the point of a gold frame at the corner of the drawing room-table. "It caught his eye as he descended the steps. But it did not impress him with the fact that he had neglected entirely to close the door. It impressed him merely as an incident which he afterward remembered, and he continued to descend.

The final installment of "The Mottled Buterfly" will appear in our next issue. ITEMS FROM FAITH.
