For a moment her Ups seemed glued together, and her breath came In ehort, convulsive gasp*, “Do you hear what I eay?

"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.

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.

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.

Now, you quite understand." "Yea, Mme. la Baronne, and I swear to tell you nothing but the truth. It was Just like this: The young man was dead In love with you, madame—I mw him every day. He gave me money, 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." / The Crlms. "Where Blbl was In waiting, I sup pose?" said she. "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. As 1 came In Blbl looked up and said: ‘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. * Continued In Tomorrow'e Georgian, Surgeon” Dr. Porter’s Antiseptic Healing Oi A Household Surgi cal Dressing for al wounds, sores ant skin diseases, whe ther sjight or serious, Relieves pain- antisepticaily cleanses-quickly heals.
