N exceptionally during robbery prominent bunk entered- huge sum taken ! were the headlines In a I'arN paper. In following up this extraordinary Cse the mystery deepened, unheard of crimes were unearthed and thrilling situations occurred which bullied even the celebrated detective. Lecoq. It appeared that upon opening the safe one morning, the cashier startled the I lmve been clerks by crying out: robbed! They gathered about, hut strangely enough upon Inspection, the safe showed only a seratch, hut no alsign of having been broken open, misswere francs .'150,000 though the ing that the cashier said lie had placed there the day before. In order to pay Count Louis de Clameran, a friend who had been left a legacy by his brother, Gaston. M. Fnuvel, the president of the bank, and M. ITosper the cashier, were the only persons who possessed keys to the door and were credited with the knowledge of a word which made up the combination. Although their relations had been like those of father and son, each now accused the other of taking the money. The clerks were Interviewed by the police, and search was made of the over the lmnk, occupied hy ' apartment the president, his wife, and beautiful niece, Madeleine, whose engagement to the cashier had been mysteriously broken off It was suspended she preferred Mme. Valentine Fauvels handsome nephew, Raoul Lagors. The presidents record was good, hut suspicion was directed toward the casldcr, ns he had been living extravagantly. Ills arrest followed, although he protested his Innocence. During the Inspection of the bank and the apprehending of the cashier, he was seen to scribble a line hurriedly and throw it to the clerk. The latter was shadowed to the cashiers apart meat and the note procured. It was addressed to Mine. Gypsy, Informing her of his arrest and advising her to hide. During the examination at court, Prosper remembered that he had been indiscreet the previous night In saying to Gypsy, when perhaps he might lmve been overheard hy the count and Raoul, thnt he had reason for con stantly thinking of her at bis work, when she accused him of not thinking of her any longer. The word Gypsy opened the snfe. For lack of sufficient evidence Prosper was released and the case filed In No. 113. On Prospers return to his apartment, Gypsy lmd gone, hut a note addressed In small printed letters was delivered to him containing money. The clever Lecoq, now living with Prosper, under the disguise f an old friend of Ids fathers, revealed that the printed letters had been cut from a prayer book. Surely there was a woman In the ease! Later a lorn prayer book was discovered hidden in Mndeleines room. Did she love Prosper and think him Innocent and In need of money 1 Yet soon after that, to the surprise of everyone, her engagement was announced to the old Count de Clameran. The reason for this vvns that Madeleine, by chance, overheard a conversation between the count nml her aunt The old count threatened to tell 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 the honor of the family name. On learning of Madeleine's engagement. Prosper, who really had always loved her, became very angry, and thinking there inibi be a sinister motive for Mme. Fauvels allowing It, wrote an anonymous letter to M. Fauvel, telling him to watch bis wife. Lecoq noticed thnt the Raoul still continued his frequent visits to the house. Did It mean that he was perhaps not the nephew, hut the lover of Mme. Fauvel?

The Insane grow impatient anil unsettled when they tire constantly associated with those who are rational, because, irrational themselves, the constant disagreements Irritate them.
