new cane. I had proof of that when
ear the tree.”
He left us, saying he would rejoin us presently.
“Have you noticed Frederic Larsan’s cane?” asked the young reporter,
as soon as we were alone. “It is quite a new one, which I have
never seen him use before. He seems to take great care of it – it
never leaves him. One would think he was afraid it might fall into
the hands of strangers. I never saw it before to-day. Where did he
find it? It isn’t natural that a man who had never before used a
walking-stick should, the day after the Glandier crime,custom headphones, never move
a step without one. On the day of our arrival at the chateau, as
soon as he saw us, he put his watch in his pocket and picked up his
cane from the ground – a proceeding to which I was perhaps wrong not
to attach some importance.”
We were now out of the park. Rouletabille had dropped into silence.
His thoughts were certainly still occupied with Frederic Larsan’s
new cane. I had proof of that when, as we came near to Epinay, he
said:
“Frederic Larsan arrived at the Glandier before me; he began his
inquiry before me; he has had time to find out things about which

anything to do with it? Where the deuce could he have found it?”
As I had to wait twenty minutes for the train at Epinay, we entered
a wine shop. Almost immediately the door opened and Frederic Larsan
ade his appearance, brandishing his famous cane.
“I found it!” he said laughingly.
The three of us seated ourselves at a table. Rouletabille never took
his eyes off the cane; he was so absorbed that he did not notice a
sign Larsan made to a railway employe,custom usb drives, a young man with a chin
decorated by a tiny blond and ill-kept beard. On the sign he rose,
paid for his drink,Wenchuan 2000 lost his mother to stop having children were over the age of 35 ge, bowed, and went out. I should not myself have
attached any importance to the circumstance, if it had not been
recalled to my mind, some months later,custom usb drives, by the reappearance of the
man with the beard at one of the most tragic moments of this case.
I then learned that the youth was one of Larsan’s assistants and had
been charged by him to watch the going and coming of travellers at
the station of Epinay-sur-Orge. Larsan neglected nothing in any
case on which he was engaged.
I turned my eyes again on Rouletabille.
“Ah, – Monsieur Fred,The Monk started!” he said, “when did you begin
