The
commissary
’
s
voice
was
now
heard
more
distinctly
.
He
was
asking
for
information
about
the
system
of
lighting
,
which
the
stage
-
manager
supplied
.
The
commissary
therefore
must
be
in
the
"
organ
"
or
its
immediate
neighborhood
.
Contrary
to
what
one
might
think
,
especially
in
connection
with
an
opera
-
house
,
the
"
organ
"
is
not
a
musical
instrument
.
At
that
time
,
electricity
was
employed
only
for
a
very
few
scenic
effects
and
for
the
bells
.
The
immense
building
and
the
stage
itself
were
still
lit
by
gas
;
hydrogen
was
used
to
regulate
and
modify
the
lighting
of
a
scene
;
and
this
was
done
by
means
of
a
special
apparatus
which
,
because
of
the
multiplicity
of
its
pipes
,
was
known
as
the
"
organ
.
"
A
box
beside
the
prompter
’
s
box
was
reserved
for
the
chief
gas
-
man
,
who
from
there
gave
his
orders
to
his
assistants
and
saw
that
they
were
executed
.
Mauclair
stayed
in
this
box
during
all
the
performances
.
But
now
Mauclair
was
not
in
his
box
and
his
assistants
not
in
their
places
.
"
Mauclair
!
Mauclair
!
"
The
stage
-
manager
’
s
voice
echoed
through
the
cellars
.
But
Mauclair
did
not
reply
.
I
have
said
that
a
door
opened
on
a
little
staircase
that
led
to
the
second
cellar
.
The
commissary
pushed
it
,
but
it
resisted
.
"
I
say
,
"
he
said
to
the
stage
-
manager
,
"
I
can
’
t
open
this
door
:
is
it
always
so
difficult
?
"
The
stage
-
manager
forced
it
open
with
his
shoulder
.
He
saw
that
,
at
the
same
time
,
he
was
pushing
a
human
body
and
he
could
not
keep
back
an
exclamation
,
for
he
recognized
the
body
at
once
:
"
Mauclair
!
Poor
devil
!
He
is
dead
!
"
But
Mr
.
Commissary
Mifroid
,
whom
nothing
surprised
,
was
stooping
over
that
big
body
.
