"Are you aware, Monsieur Guinaud, that you stand in a very dangerous position?"

"My faith, no! Not at all."

"Then it is as well you should know at once. I am a detective, as you know, and am investigating this affair of your late friend. I suspect some one of the murder."

"Very well. Monsieur Axton?"

"No."

"The dear Spolgers?"

"No."

Judas shrugged his shoulders!

"My faith! I know not, then, the man you suspect."

"Yes, you do. I suspect Monsieur Jules Guinaud."
