It will keep you out of mischief." XV NEWS FROM FRANCE For the next three days the impatience of the public met with nothing but disappointment.

The police were reticent,--more reticent far than usual,--and the papers, powerless to add to the facts already published, had little but conjectures to offer.
The hunt for Madame Duclos continued, joined in now by the general public.

But for all the efforts made, aided by a careful search through her entire baggage, there was as little known concerning her as on the morning of her disappearance.
Nor did any better success follow the exhibition at the morgue of the poor little victim's innocent body.

The mystery covering the whole affair seemed to be impenetrable, and the rush made on the museum upon its first reopening to the public was such as to lead to its being closed again till some limit could be put upon the attendance.
And thus matters stood when one morning the country was startled, and the keenest interest again aroused in this remarkable case, by an announcement received from France to the effect that the young lady so unfortunately killed in one of the public buildings in New York City was, from the description sent, not the ward of the woman Antoinette Duclos, but her own child, Angeline Duclos.

That the two were well known in St.
Pierre sur Loire, where they had lived for many years in the relationship mentioned.
