The word (Jypsy opened the safe. For lack of sutlicient evidence Prosper was released and the case filed in No. 11.'!. On Prosper' return to his apartment. Gypsy had prone, hut a noto addressed in small printed letters was delivered to him containing money. The clever Lecoq, now living with Irosper, under the disguise of an old friend of his father' revealed that the printed letters had been cut from a prayer-book. Kurdy there was a woman in the case! loiter a torn prayer-book was discovered hidden in Madeleine's room. Did she love Prosper and think him innocent and in need of money? Yet soon after that, to the surprise of every one. her engagement was announced to the old Count de Clameran. The reason for this was that Madeleine, by chance, overheard a conversation between the Count and her aunt. The old count threatened to toll of the family skeleton if she did not consent to the marriage. Madeleine appeared and said she would marry him to keep the secret and he honor of the family name. On learning of Madeleine's engagement. Prosper, who really had always loved her, became very angry, and thinking there must be a sinister motive for Mme. l-'auvd's allowing it, wrote an anonymous Utter to M. Fauvel. telling him to watch his u ife. Lecoq noticed that the goo,. looking Itaoul still continued his frequent visits to the house. Iid it mean that lie was perhaps not the nephew, but the lover of Mme. Vau v el? Disguised. the great detective attended a masquerade ball and made insinuating remarks to Mme.

there 'nu.vt be an even gre iter mystery to uniavtl that hid c;:usm1 them to become vvou!d-h' iissasfeins. Hecords were looked up and an aniüzing story came to light. Ivcoq discovered that years ago Mme. Fauvel, th-n Valentine de Vt rherie, had been engaged to the count's brotlier, fiaston. In defending her name at a cc intry inn, !..ston had killed a man and tied to America, although he was thought to have been drowned while escaping. A fon was born to Valentine and given away by her mother. Later she had married Fauvel, who was told nothing. The story was never unearthed until Count J,ouls had sqmindrred the family money and by mere chance- had heard of the child's existence from on old nurse. He made inquiries. Not lang after this, the count introduced a young man to Mme. Fauvel as her son. to serve his own ends and to extract hushmoney. This young man was called her ii' phew and proved to bo Itaoul Ixigors. The situation became even more complicated. Gaston returned from America immensely rich, not knowing of the existence of his son, but determined to see his old love Valentine once more. Ixniis, however, realized that for his own ends, Gaston and Mme. Fauvel must never meet. He joined Gaston in the south of France and got into his good graces. Gaston made a will, leaving everything to Louis; then poor Gaston became mysteriously ill and died. Ixmis returned to Paris rich. Madeleine seemed to wish to delay her marriage. The court feared she still loved Prosper, so ho promised Raoul a large sum if ho would in some way ruin the cashier's reputation, thinking thus to hasten his own marriage, as he really was in love with Madeleine. The moment came when Itaoul overheard Prosper telling Gypsy he constantly thought of her at the bank. He then went to his mother and said he would shoot himself if he did not have a large sum of money that very night to pay a gambling debt. She got for him the key to the safe. Tho poor lady had already given him all her money and jewels and had nothing left to bestow. At the last moment she tried to stop him, henco the ccratch that was discovered later. When she inquired how he knew the word that made tip the combination. Itaoul said that Prosper had given it to him and they wer4 10 divide the money between themselves. Owing to the anonymous letter, M- Fauvel intercepted his wife's mail, and one day found a letter from Kaoul asking her to go to his villa. M. Fauvel followed, ami on entering

and seeing his wife in the arms of the young man, pulled out his pistol to hhoot, but fortunately it did not go off, as Gypsy, who had becomo Madeleine's maid, under Leeoq's instructions in order to watch the house, had taken out the" bullets. At this point the great detective appeared and told the banker the whole story. He then demanded the 350,000 francs which had been stolen and Itaoul returned the money: and what was more remarkable still. Lecoq showed them papers that proved Kaoul was not Mme. Fauvel's son after all her son had died and the impostor was the son of a jockey hired by the count to play the part so as to secure money from Mme. Fauvel at the time when the count was poor, before Gaston had died. During the conversation Raoul had made his escape, but no one cared, for the Fa live Is naturally wished to keep the story secret, and it ended happily for M. Fauvel forgave his wife her early indiscretions. Lecoq was just about to arrest the count for his many crimes when the wicked old man went insane and kept repeating constantly that his brother Gaston was poisoning him. Strange to relate, the great Leeoq married pretty Mme. Gypsy, whom he had known and loved for years. Prosper, of course, married Madeleine, and M. Fauvel retired from the bank. The firm is now called Prosper Bertomy and Co. This amazing record of crime still remains in the police court in Parks and can be found in File Xo. 113.
