Abstract. The algebra $H(P_{\Q}^{+}, P_{\Z})$ arises in number theory and has been studied in [#!BC!#] of Bost and Connes. Laca and Raeburn continued the study in [#!LR!#] and gave an improvement of the theorem of Bost and Connes. This leads us to consider a closely related algebra $H(P_{\Q},P_{\Z})$ because of its interesting connections with $C^{*}$-algebras and group algebras.

In this paper we give a detailed proof of Laca and Raeburn's theorem. Then we define a new Hecke pair $(P_{\Q},P_{\Z})$ and show that the Hecke algebra $H(P_{\Q},P_{\Z})$ is a universal $*$-algebra generated by the elements $\{\mu_{n} : n\in \N^{*}\}$, $\{e(r) : r \in \Q/\Z \}$ and a new element $u=\Big[\left(%
\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 0 \\
0 & -1 \\
\end{array}%
\right)\Big].$
