For years now Eddring had followed the curious and intricate question of the Loisson estate, and little by little he had seen the tangled skein unravel beneath his hand. There were necessary links of the evidence yet to be supplied.
Perhaps the result of the test case didn't please Decherd very much, although he was on the winning side. At least, it marked the Loise claimant off the Loisson slate. So much for claimant number one. So much for Delphine, we'll say. "But now, at some time or other, Miss Lady and Mrs. Ellison appeared on the scene.
Records showed that to Raoul and Louise Loisson was born one daughter, Louise, who married one Robert Fanning, a planter and cattle dealer. But the confusion of records brought about by the Civil War left it impossible to tell what became of this Louise Loisson-Fanning, or of either of her parents.
"When I got thus far along I was pretty deeply interested, as you see, and I followed it on out, just for the love of the mystery. Now I have unearthed the fact that the Comte de Loisson did leave some property when he died. Soon after his arrival in the neighborhood of St. Louis, he bought a good-sized tract of land, down in what is now St. Francois County, below St. Louis.
But madame is lonely. She is not receive' by the old French familles. Monsieur Delchasse is dead, her shildren are dead she is alone. She take Louise Loisson home to live. My faith! she is watch her like the cat." "But how about this dancing? Why does she need to dance?" queried Eddring. "Ah, she has dance two, t'ree time in the house of Madame Delchasse.
"It was an accident purely," said Miss Lady. "I found it in a book, years ago. It was unusual, and I took it for that reason. I wanted to get as far away from any possibility of detection by my friends as I possibly could. See," she smiled bitterly, "I am Louise Loisson now, the common dancer! I make my living in that way.
I'm going to tell you what we know about you, or think we know. "We think your real name is Louise Loisson, just the name you picked out for yourself. We think that was the name of your mother, and of your grandmother, too, for that matter. If all that is so, then you're rich, if you can prove your title; and we think you can. Tell me, what do you know about Mrs. Ellison?
What is it that it is to you, Monsieur?" "Listen, listen, Madame!" cried Eddring, "We must find them. This message is one of life and death. Come, your carriage " and before madame could expostulate the two were seated together in madame's carriage, and it was whirling back on the return journey to the Odeon. Eddring fell on the doorkeeper. "Miss Loisson! Where is she?
The United States Court records hold that absolute evidence, res adjudicata stare decisis; which means, in plain English, that ends it. It also means that that Indian claimant could not inherit the Loisson estate! "Now here is an unknown woman, whom we will call Delphine, begging Decherd not to forsake her. There would seem to have been a failure on this line of the Decherd investigation.
He, by virtue of this old volume now resting in his pocket, was concerned with the fortunes of that earlier Louise Loisson. And yet, he acknowledged the growing feeling that in this matter there was coming to be for him something more than a professional interest. This thought he put away as best he could, chiding himself as perpetually visionary, though old enough now to dream no more.
