^After a hideous night, during I
he did not attempt to undress,
was early next morning at the
do L'Eveque.
Lambert looked less terribly agi
tated than he was the day before,
Wl ho had an exhausted, stupefied
as If nature could not hold out
longer. He was dressed and
sreedy to go out, however, and as he
too soon for the appointment

Wf found her still much agitated,

her his own belief that Elsie had

"It Is not for me to Judge the hab

"Do yon mean to say that you

feed her astray?" almost screamed
l*"?bert. stung from his despairing J
apathy Into angry excitement.
"Dear monsieur. I only blame your

"Adieu, madame; mine Is too terrl

remained outside, slowly pac
lac the aLreet; and while he waited,
???jaewhat to his surprise he saw
come out from a different
<fc>or to that by which Lambert had
?etered. He was accompanied by a
??an In uniform, and walked briskly
*"ay. In the same direction in which
Clrnn was sauntering; but as they
"were considerably ahead of him, it
*** useless to attempt pursuit.
J*e wished Lambert would volun
tarily confide to him the secret of his
to Deering. He felt an un
.nbsiiIi^ conviction that the extra- i
? ordinary disappearance of Elsie was |
' some way connected with it.
'Slnso went slowly, painfully; but at
* sergeant de vllle approach

ke Chef wishes to speak to
kla" ^
TJIynn followed readily, and found
dsusde alone.
"Monsieur Lambert awaits you In
aa ante-chamber," said the grave
chef; "you will soon be at liberty to
Joia him. Meanwhile you will have
mm objection to answer a few ques
?loaa" He proceeded to put a few
lf ?lng queries as to Glynn'B position
*?d <hx.b (ration, the origin of his ac
^ealatance with Lambert, Its re
aawal. his knowledge of Deering and
Vincent, and their connection with
ifaiher and daughter. The astute chef
was courteous though searching, and
meditated for a moment or
two, said. "I should recommend your
?adwtslng your friend to conflde every
fkramlanes connected with his
daughter to me. He Is keeping some
thing back, nnd that something nulll
?ee all our efforts."
"I think he must havo told you
everything, especially connectcd with
Ma daughter."
There is j?rnnll chance of success
If he does not."
"I suppose you have no Intelll
-ee as yet?" said Glynn.
Tills is all wo have discovered,"
??Id Mr. Claude, throwing open the
doors of a large armoire, or clothes
?****. and there hung, In ghastly
mocfcery. the pretty white ball dres*
which had s;? delightfully become the
wearer. Its bouquets of wild flowers
?reshr*i and flattened, and a long re
Wing stain of half-dried mud along
mm?. of ,ho crcaniy silk.
"Good God!" exclaimed Glynn,
run? back horror-struck. "Where
? where did you find this?"
?One of our men found It near the
de L'Alma early this morning,
-??e! here I. where the lace and knot
w rtoben were torn away. There It
?a other mark or violence. The In
tention evidently was to throw the
??reel (It was tightly rolled up) Into
?ke Seine; but It fell short, and the
,ow- You recognize the
"Tee; and now?"
"HMrta proves nothing," said the lm
wterbable M. Claude. "The dres*
was deliberately thvown away, elthet
to divert attention on a wrong scent
.er almnly to get rid of an encum
. iMrance."
"Then you have not advanced sine*
-yesterday?"
"Not much. I have found that M.
Vincent Is at. Bordeaux, but alone.**
"And have you seen M. Deerlng?"
said Glynn, quickly.
??Yes,'* returned M. Claude, looking
at him for an lnatant. "He came to
seek tiding* of the missing young
lady, in whom he seems eeply in
terested."
"You do not. then, bellfevo that any
great crinio has been committed, he
faltered.
"All things are possible, but I hope
that before many days are over you
will hear from the young lady her
self. I believe It Is an unusually
clever case of elopement. I hav?
communicated with the English po
lice; but" ? an eloquent shrug ?
"they have fewer facilities than we.
My telegram yesterday was too late
to catch the Dover mall boat ? not
that I think it was of much conse
1 quence, for "
His reason was never uttered; a
tap at the door Interrupted him. He
rose, took a dispatch from the hands
of a messenger. Closing the door,
he read it, and then with a grim
smile, said:
"My suspicions are not far wrong.
The young lady is safe and well at
Bordeaux ? and not alone."
?What does your employe say?"
cried Glynn, not much comforted by
the announcement.
"Read for yourself," said M.
Claude, handing the telegram to him.
Glynn eagerly scanned the lines.
"Young English or American lady
answering to description arrived here
last evening; is staying at The Lion
d'Or, on the quay. Has been visited
by the captain of an American steam
er and another man. Father must
come at once and identify her, or .she
may escape."
"This is some mistake." said Glynn
the words dancing before his eyes.
"This cannot be Miss Lambert."
"It is most unlikely that my col
league at Bordeaux should be In err
or. He is one of the shrewdest em
ployes of the surete. At all events
we must Inform the father."
He rang, and desired that M. Lam
bert should be recalled. Glynn was
Infinitely touched by the dulled, help
less look of the once bright, alert
Lambert. He watched him read the
telegram, and an expression of pleas
ure gleamed in his eyes.
"This is a chance, anyhow," ho
exclaimed. "Of course I'll go. When
is the next train?"
The detective watched him curi
ously.
"But, Lambert." exclaimed Glynn,
in English, "you surely do not be
lieve thiB can be your daughter? You
do not think that delicate, tender
creature would fly from you to meet
men of whom you know nothing?"
"Maybe I do," said Lambert, "and
maybe I don't. Drowning men clutch
at straws. I'll go. anyway."
He swayed slightly as he spoke,
and caught Glynn's arm.
"It is more than he can bear,"
said M. Claude, with a rare gleam of
feeling. I will telegraph to r.'.y col
league to meet you at the Gare. The
mail train leaves at six. You will bo
in Bordeaux about noon to-morrow. I
You will, I trust, need no further
sistance from my department. I wlsv
you good morning, gentlemen."
He opened the door politely, ai d
they went forth.
"Lambert," ssid Glynn, as he sup
ported his friend's unsteady atepr,
"you are not fit to travel alone. I
will go with you."
"I'm better," returned Lambert,
withdrawing his arm. "and I thank
you from the bottom of my heart;
but I'd rather go alone. If ? If ? oh!
great heavens! ? She mightn't like to
see you, Glynn. No, no," with in
creasing decision, "I would rather go
alone, and I will sond you word what
I find. You have been wonderfully
good to me, and you know what she
was ? Is. Why do I despair? If ?
oh, If," with sudden fury, "I ever
get my grip on the infernal villain
that drove her to this, he'll have seen
the last of light, and go down to
darkness forever. There, I don't
know what I am talking about. My
head seems all wrong."
"You had better let me go with
you, Lambert. Believe me, you are
not fit to go alone, and you must keep
well, at any rate, till you recover or
rescue your daughter."
"Recover her! Ay, that I will,"
standing still suddenly. "Do you
think I'm not proof against every
thing till I find her? and then ? and
then, when she Is safe, I have done
my work, and I'll rest ? ay, rest well
and long. But I'll make this Jour
ney nlone." ,
There was nothing for it but to
give up all thoughts of persuading
him.
The hours wWch succeeded, how
slowly, yel swiftly, tliey dragged
their torturing length!
Still, fast or slow, the hours went
by. Glynn was finally overcome with
fatigue and sleep, so enjoyed a few
hours of blessed oblivion.
Ho woke with a startled sense of
wrong-doing In having forgotten even
for a moment the awful uncertainty
that had laid its curse upon him, and
collecting his thoughts, remembered
his surprise at not having received
a telegraphic message from Lambert.
True, ho might not have succeeded at
once In seeing his supposed daugh
ter.
The PTpTt^d o?nminlrnt|on enme.
however, before he sallied forth to
renew tho restless round of yester
day
"Officer mistaken. A fresh track.
Am off to Marseilles. Will write."
In s sense this was s relief; but
Msrscllles? that seemed the most un
likely place to find the object of their
search. However, all places were un
likely. Lambert had better keep at
hand in Paris. He would write and
beg him to return.
Glynn had taken his hat and was
at the door, ?vhen some one knocked,
tnd DMrtng entered. well dressed,
iool, diatlagiitshwl-tooklng, u tvw,
out with a somewhat haggard aspect,
uid a set. sinister expression about
sis mouth.
*1 suppose you have heard nothing
fresh? no discovery of any clue to
the whereabouts of Lambert's daugh
ter?" he asked.
"Nothing. Her father went down
to Bordeaux yesterday at the sugges
tion of M. Clsude to Identify a girl
described as resembling Miss Lam
bert. I have just had this telegram
from him."
"Ha!" said Deertng. on reading it.
"I doubt if Lambert will afford M.
Claude mu?h assistance. I fancy
some of his raffish associates have
carried off the y,oung lady, and he is
too much in their power to be ver^
earnest about discovering or punish
ing them.^' - ? V
"Have you suggested this idea to
the chef de la surete?" asked Glynn
coldly.
"Why should you think so?"
"Because he talked to me of Lam
bert's concealments as militating
against the success of the search, just
after you left him."
Deerlng's brows met In a fierce,
quick frown, and then resumed their
ordinary haughty composure. "Yes;
I thought It well to warn him. I am
even now endeavoring to sift a curi
ous story about Lambert; It may be
true, but I am a good deal concerned
at this disappearance of his daugh
ter. and I think so are you. 8he Is
a fascinating morsel of female flesh,
and it is maddening to see the price
you had marked for your own carried
off under your very eyes. Really
there Is no line deep enough to
fathom a woman."
"I never marked Miss Lambert as
my own," said Glynn angrily. "I ob
ject to your mode of mentioning her.
I do not believe ttat Miss Lambert
left her home willingly, unless de
coyed by false pretences."
"Be that as it may, I would give a
good deal to know where she Is. I
believe she Is In England; she. was
brought up there. I believe. Well, I
cross to-nlght, and will set the police
at work so soon as I get to London.
Shall you be much longer here?"
"My movements are uncertain," re
turned Glynn stiffly.
"You'll wait and assist the be
reaved father, I presume," said Deer
Ing. with an unpleasant smile. "By
the way, Vincent has returned, and
Is awfully cut up about the affair.
Vincent was. 1 fancy, a suitor; might
have been a decent match for Miss
Lambert; he is a shrewd fellow. But
you are In a hurry, I will not detain
you."
He bid Glynn "good-morning" with
curious friendliness, and left him
half-maddened with torturing waves
of doubt, which seemed rising on all
sides.
Another long miserable day.
No letter from Lambert, and fail
ure In an attempt to see the chef de
la suretc completed the day's trials.
The fourth morning brought Lam
bert's promised letter. The girl sup
posed to resemble Elsie was a rouged
modeste, with dyed hair and rather
good blue eyes, the only real point of
resemblance. "The reasons for his
expedition to Marseilles were too nu
merous for a letter," Lambert wrote.
"He had some faint hopes of suc
cess, and would tell all when he re
turned. if Glynn was still In Paris."
If! how could he tear himself away
till this cruel mystery was cleared
up?
In the porter's lodge, as he passed
out, Glynn found a police agent with
a message ? Could he come soon to
the Bureau de la surete? Me le chef
I wished to speak with him.
Glynn's reply was to hail a fiacre,
and making the agent come with him,
drove at once to the bureau.
"So the commiBsaire at Bordeaux
was mistaken," said M. Claude. "That
Is the difficulty of descriptions, even
photographs sometimes deceive. I
am having several copies made of
mademoiselle's, and Bhall send them
to the principal towns." He paused,
and looked at Glynn, said: "I do not
approve this demarche to Marseilles;
M. Lambert should have confided his
reasons to us. He cannot work In
dependently; but he will make noth
ing by his Journey. Were he here ?
there is a fresh and more hopeful r*.
port from Bruges this morning."
"And it is?" exclaimed Glynn,
leaning forward in his chair, quiver
ing with anticipation.

THE DUCK HOUSE.
at a considerable dlsrtance from the
chicken brwoders Is a duck house,
where the little ducklings are shel
tered and cared for from the time
they are hatched to the time when
they are dressed an?i sent to market.
The house Is 500 feet long and 4G
feet wide. Thero aro partitions every
100 feet to p. event drafts of air. The
ducks are graded according to age,
the little fellows getting what Is call
ed "baby food," a little later No.
2 feed, and as they get considerable
slse and strength. No. 3 f^ed. There
la an alley running through lengtn
wise of. tho house. Through this al
ley a car, on which there is a box
twelve feet long containing feed. Is
pushed along, and the ducks In pens
on either side are fed as systematical
ly as the large dairymen feed their
herds of cows. "i
It requires a thorough knowledge
of the habits of the duck to handle
them successfully. Although a water
fowl, they must be kept comfortable
ami dry while young. Water is fur
nished running along In a trough
where they can reach' their bills In
and drink, but they cannot get Into
it. A strango characteristic Is n love
for light, and lanterns are kopt burn
ing to light their pens all night, o>
they would injure themselves by run
ning against the partitions. ? Tribune

they simply go all to pieces. You can't build rusty steel back again, and some
times you can't renew your nerves, so it's best to begin in plenty of time to take
