Rouletabille argues Larsan staged the murder plot to ruin Darzac and invade Stangerson's room. He explains the door was hermetically sealed and the killer could have escaped before the midnight attack. The president concedes Larsan as the explanation, though Rouletabille disputes the escape notion.

Russian postal and telegraphic service women may not marry outside their department, fearing telegram disclosures. Mrs Radford of New Orleans, eighty something, has led Chinese mission work for years with a Sunday school and Monday classes.

A poetic vignette of dusk and quiet countryside images. The piece paints twilight softening daily cares, resting tollers by a stream, and a reverent, peaceful mood as night approaches. A lone bird returns to its nest as insects hum and bells faintly toll.
