He waited a moment for a reply, and
then tapped the bell on the table. Frank
at once entered the room.
The manager looked up.

thoroughly frightened young woman. .
"You are Suzanne." he raid In French,
transfixing her with a glance.
For a moment her Ups seemed glued
together, and her breath came In ehort,
convulsive gasp*,
“Do you hear what I eay? Your
name la Suzanne?”—
• Y-Yea, sir.”
"And until quite recenUy you were
In the aervlce ot the Baroness Sla-
vlnaky, In New York?”
She nodded.
"And you have a friend you call
nibi7"
She made no reply at all to thla:
merely atared blankly and with parted
lips,
"To whom,” Frank pursued, "you
wrote, thla letter," and he once more
hnd recourse to his pocketbook. "It la
a very curious letter. Look at It. You
recognize your own -handwriting and
slgnuture, do you not?"
By this time she was speechless with
fear. Frank waited a moment for her
answer, and as none came, he turned
to the manager.
"1 think." he said, "that you had bet.
or send for the police.”
He at once arose.
"As you will,” said he. "The matter
is now entirely In your hande."
As he moved toward the door.the ter
rified girt suddenly sprang to her feet
and clasped Frank's arm.
Plea for Moray.
"No, no, no! Four pltia!" ahe cried,
"Well. Mameelle Suzanne,” said
Frank, "It Is fpr you to decide. Either
you will coneent to come with me or we
oust send for the police at once."
"But where will you take me?" the
asked, with an appealing look.
"Where, perhaps, you will be able to
explain a good many things. If you
give me truthful answers to my ques
tions, 1 may—I probably will—be len
ient. If you decline thlt proposition I
' shall ascertain what I want fo know all
the same elsewhere; but It will cer
tainly then go Very hard with you In
deed. Come now, which shall It be?”
"I will go with you," ehe answered.
"Very well. You certainly have
chosen the wisest course. Never mind
about the police," he added-in English.
This young lady has consented to place
herself In my custody for the preeent.
By the way, I will take that necklace
with me."
"Why, certainly, certainly," said the
manager, as he snapped the case and
handed It over to Frank. Then they
shook hand* and Stuanne and Frank
lert the shop together.
He hailed a passing cab, assisted the
young woman Into It, and the next mo.
ment they were bowling xwlftly along.
For a long time not a word was spoken.
At last between curiosity and fear, she
began to ply him with questions, to
which he made one Invariable anewer;
“All In good time, mademoiselle; all
. In good time.”
Before the Baroness.
At one period of the Journey It wee
. Just on the tip of his tongue to ask her
' why she had been prowling about hie
! home, but he pulled himself up short
i when he reflected that bjr this time ehe
j probably knew or suspected that he had
i hurled her "Blbl" by mistake, and that
, he felt to be an awkward matter for
1 present ditfueelon.
So they rode along In alienee until the
eeldence of Mine. Slavlnsky wee
‘ached
Bidding the cabman wait, Frank con-
.ucted the now trembling girl up the
steps end rang the bell. It was almost
Instantly answered by a servant, wbo, It
was plain to see, had already received
Jior Instructions, for without a word
she showed them through the spacloui
hall Into the drawing room, and as si
lently withdrew.
■ There was so much that wos mys.
terlous about this that Suzunne felt ter
rlbly III at ease. But utter collapse
came when the door suddenly opened
nnd the baroness, with a stately man
ner that was Impressive, even to Frank,
swiftly crossed the room. Her greeting
was not so openly cordial as on the dsy
before, but sho gave him a slflnltlcant
look, and he understood. Then, facing
sharply about to Suzanne, she sntd;
"I have heard very strange things
about you. Suzanne. I thought you were
an honest' girl. Dhl I not treat you
well ?"
"Always, madame," said Suzanne,
now feeling herself thoroughly undone.
"Then why have you treated me In
auch a shocking manner? You must
have been Influenced away by some
body else."
Suzanne clutched at once nt the straw
thus artfully thrown out to her.
"I truly was, madame."
"A man. of course.”
"It Is always the man, madame.”
"A very Just observation. Suzanne. 1
concede It. What was the name of the
man? You needn't hesitate, for, as you
now know, the man Is dead. You
called him 'Blbl.' His real name I am
asking tor."
Suzanne hesitated for Just an Instant,
then said she:
"Jacques Tournelle."
■'Occupation?"
"I know not. I met him at
ter one night, and—”
"I understand; and you found him
very agreeahle, of course, and as It
turned out ho bore a very great re
semblance to the young man who
caused me so much annoyance at the
Grand Hotel. Is that so?"
"Yes, madame.”
“And upon the strength of that re
semblance he suggested .a certain
scheme to you, promising you marriage
In case you assisted him In carrying
It out?”
You and the gentleman here seem
to know everything,” said Suzanne, ut
terly breaking down at last.
"Nearly everything, 8uzanne, but we
have one or two things yet to learn.
On the night I spent with my aunt you
sent young Mr. Bracebrldge a note In
my name."
"How could I?” Suzanne feebly be
gan. when the baroness extended her
hand to Frank. He understood, and
gave her Suzanne's note.
"I really don't know how you could
do such a thing," pursued the baroness,
"but that you did Is proved here In
your own handwriting. You tell him
that I consent to give him rendezvous
In my rooms at 10 o'clock and further
request him to bring the diamond j
nbcklace with him."
Suzanne made no reply to thlx.
"A necklace." continued the baroness, |
after a short pause, “which you offer
ed 11> sell this morning for—how much,
Mr. Bracebrldge?".
Fifteen thousand dollars." he re
plied. "and this Is the necklace," he
added, producing It. "It Is priceless.”
Now what Is ths natural Inferencs,
Suzanne T* *
Still Suzanne mad® no reply.
“Very well. I will answer the quea* I
tlon for you. You, Suzanne, and thla I
Jacques Tournelle (who, lucidly for]
him, has escaped from the hand of
justice) entered Into a wicked con-1
•piracy, ft rat to take away my good'
name and then to pillage and murder
this foolish and unfortunate young
man.”
Suzanne suddenly staggered to her
feet. ”No, no, not” she shrilled. *T
didn’t do it. I—1”—and then some
thing seemed to choke her, for she
clutched wildly at her throat, tearing
ribbons nnd chiffon into shreds, and ut
laftt her whole body became suddenly
convulsed, froth oozed from her lips
and she fell upon the door In a flt.
“This Is a pretty kettle of fish,”
Frank said to himself. “Just us we are
getting to the bottom of things; too,”
The baroness, however, did not seem
in the least disturbed.
“It Is Just as well,” snld she. “It has
happened once before in my presence,
and will' soon pass—-dhen she will tell
us the whole truth.”
Through a half-opened door Detect
ive Iaoftus stepped Into the room.
“Yes, she will tell the truth.” he re
peated. “We have solved one end of
the myztery.”
CHAPTER Clll.
The Whole Truth.
It was as the baroness had predicted.
The seizure was of but short duration,
nnd when oonsclbusness nnd memory
had fully returned and Suzanne real
ized her position, she was not In a con
dition mentally or physically to make
any further resistance. The baroness
he|d her, as it were. In the hollow of
her hand. Loftua now took a seat In
the parlor.
"Now that you are better, Suzanne,”
said she, "I want you to tell us the
whole truth. Mr. Bracebrldge and I
have been discussing this matter, and

us, you will be arrested at once. Now,

"Yea, Mme. la Baronne, and I swear
to tell you nothing but the truth. It
was Just like this: The young man

plenty of it, and I daresay I told him
a good many Ilea to please him.
"He showed me the necklace and
said It was for you.
"Tlhls I repeated to Blbl, who at once
made the suggestion you have men
tioned. I did not like the Idea at first,
hut when he said he would not harm a
hair of the young man's head I con
sented. We were to be married as soon
as possible afterwards. That was the
arrangement.
"So I wrote the note and sent It to
Mr. Bracebrldge. Just before 10 o'clock
tho young man arrived quite out of
breath and full of excitement. He had
Just received the note, he said, and
hadn't time to change his clothes. In
another hour, he said, he would have
been on his way to Boston. I asked
him If he had brought the necklace,
and he said yes. Then I took him Into
the little private salon of Mme. la Ba
ronne." /

"Where Blbl was In waiting, I sup

"With his brother, whom, to my sur
prise, he had brought,'with him. Yes."
"Named Pipi, and now In Baltimore?"
Frank asked.
•'Nom du del! Yes. You seem to
know'everything, monsieur. They stood
behind the curtains, where I placed a
chair and asked the young man to
be seated while I called madame. With
that I left him, entered the bed room
and closed the door behind me. I was
gone about five minutes, during which
I heard not a sound; then I returned
and saw the young man strapped to
tho chair, one handkerchief ovdr his
eyes and another-over his mouth, while
Blbl was holding still another cloee to
his nostrils.

‘It Is all right now: he la only asleep..
Don’t be alarmed.' Then they went
through his pockets. 'Here, hold this,
Suzanne,’ said Blbl. handing me the
case containing the necklace. *
