these hussies offered me. It would only have served me right if the
liquor I bought with it had given me the gripes. Don't be uneasy about
the score, and if you need a trap use mine for nothing, till you have
caught the jades." As Lecoq's purse was low, he did not insist. "You
will, at least, take my name and address?" continued the driver.

"Certainly. The magistrate will want your evidence, and a summons will
be sent you."

"All right, then. Address it to Papillon (Eugene), driver, care of M.
Trigault. I lodge at his place, because I have some small interest in
the business, you see."

The young detective was hastening away, when Papillon called him back.
"When you leave the Morgue you will want to go somewhere else," he said,
"you told me that you had another appointment, and that you were already
late."

"Yes, I ought to be at the Palais de Justice; but it is only a few steps
from here."

"No matter. I will wait for you at the corner of the bridge. It's
useless to say 'no'; I've made up my mind, and I'm a Breton, you know. I
want you to ride out the thirty francs that those jades paid me."

It would have been cruel to refuse such a request. Accordingly, Lecoq
made a gesture of assent, and then hurried toward the Morgue.

If there was a crowd on the roadway outside, it was because the gloomy
building itself was crammed full of people. Indeed, the sightseers, most
of whom could see nothing at all, were packed as closely as sardines,
and it was only by dint of well-nigh superhuman efforts that Lecoq
managed to effect an entrance. As usual, he found among the mob a large
number of girls and women; for, strange to say, the Parisian fair sex is
rather partial to the disgusting sights and horrible emotions that repay
a visit to the Morgue.

The shop and work girls who reside in the neighborhood readily go out of
No -- not a sou. I am too worried already to think that I took the money 
 these adulteress extend me. It would only have served me justly if the 
 liquor I bribe with it had given me the gripes. Don't be restless about 
 the score, and if you need a ambush use mine for nothing, till you have 
 caught the hack. " As Lecoq's purse was low, he did not importune. " You 
 will, at least, take my name and address? " continued the driver. 

 " Certainly. The magistrate will want your evidence, and a summons will 
 be sent you. " 

 " wholly right, then. Address it to Papillon (Eugene), driver, care of M. 
 Trigault. I charge at his place, because I have some small interest in 
 the business, you understand. " 

 The young detective was hastening away, when Papillon called him back. 
 " When you leave the Morgue you will desire to go somewhere else, " he said, 
 " you told me that you had another appointment, and that you were already 
 late. " 

 " Yes, I ought to be at the Palais de Justice; but it is merely a few steps 
 from here. " 

 " No matter. I will wait for you at the corner of the bridge. It's
