SYNOPSIS Sailing from France to America aboard the S.S. “Navarre,” Michael Lanyard, reformed “Lone Wolf." erstwhile master crook, meets wealthy Fay Crozier, one of his antique shop patrons, and her lovely daughter Fenno. Mrs. Crozier shows Lanyard the famous Habsburg emeralds which she bought secretly to avoid payment of duty. Lanyard’s experienced eye discovers that counterfeits have been substituted for the gems. He promises to try and retrieve the emeralds. Lanyard suspects Maurice Parry, a youthful fellow-passenger, who appears deeply interested in Fenno. The resemblance between Lanyard and Maurice causes the former to wonder if they are related. In a bridge game with two card sharks. Maurice loses heavily. Lanyard joins the players as Parry’s partner. catches their opponents cheating, and threatens to expose them unless Maurice’s loss is called off. Later. Lanyard tells the appreciative Maurice that he can repay him by returning Mrs. Crozier’s jewels. The youth removes the top of his cane only to find that Lanyard had been there before him and had replaced the stolen emeralds with the zircons (false gems). Maurice discloses that he is Lanyard’s son whom the latter believed killed during the war. Though happy at the reunion. Lanyard is disappointed to find his son a thief. Maurice explains he was forced to steal since boyhood in order to exist. Detective Crane warns Lanyard against the vengeance of the two gamblers he exposed — ‘‘.Tack Knife” Anderson and “English Archie,” gangsters. Later, Lanyard is summoned to Fay CrozieFs cabin, where he finds the liner s captain and M. Pion. French detective. Fay’s emeralds have been stolen again and the captain insists that Lanyard expose the first thief, threatening arrest if he does not do so. CHAPTER XII “No!” Fay Crozier cried from her pillow. “I won’t have it. Please listen to me. Captain Pascal — please! I have every confidence in M. Lanyard; I have known him for years. I am sure he is incapable of doing anything dishonorable.” “Thank you. madame.” Lanyard replied. “But it is better that these gentlemen should have their way—one cannot permit oneself to wear the stigma of their suspicions.” “Monsieur will perhaps be good enough,” the Captain snapped, “to explain what he means by that.” “Just- this.” Lanyard fished in his pockets. “I demand that you place me under arrest while you ransack my luggage. There are the keys” —he tossed them upon the table — “search, then, and be darned.” “Good!” Pion with a chuckle pounced on the keys. “Now we shall see what we shall see.” “What could be more true, monsieur—or more wittily put!” “Enough.” The Captain saw his duty and didn’t relish it. “I myself will go with M. Pion to M. Lanyard’s stateroom. M. Lanyard will meantime remain here, under formal arrest M. Dupont,”—he addressed the mannerly subaltern who had found Lanyard for him, —“you will be good enough to see that the prisoner neither leaves this room nor finds any means of communicating with his confederate.” “My dear Lanyard!” As the door dosed, Fav Crozier roused up among her pillows without heeding the bleats of M. Louvois. “I am so sorry!” “Be tranquil, I beg you, madame.” Lanyard sat down, smiling. “I quite understand. But—what would you? —it is truly with these small an-

noyances that one pays for one's i misspent ytars.” • 1 “I suppose so,” The lady sank ’ back and accepted an offer of smell- : ing-salts. “All the same. I do feel . like the devil about it. I was too r upset to think that my telling about r last night might embarrass you—” “But I am not embarrassed, . merely vexed: and less that than . depressed—it is always saddening . to have one's faith in human stu- . pidity confirmed.” i “And it never entered my head . you would hesitate to tell—” i “Nor would I. given even the least . belief that the author of last night's . mischief knew anything about toI day's.” “But that is what I can’t underi stand. I don’t see who else —” “One has already pointed out that [ the means one rogue found to acquaint himself with your secret must have been open to others.” “Heavens! Do you want me to believe this ship is simply alive with robbers after my jewels?” “If it carries one, why not more?” To distract the woman from this disturbing thought. Can yard asked: “Fenno, of course, knows nothing?” “I haven’t told her yet. I didn’t intend to tell her I’d bought the Habsburg emeralds until I had smuggled them in.” “Ah!” Lanyard laughed. “You knew she would disapprove?” "Mm-mm." This was the doublebarreled nasal affirmative that women use with those they choose to treat informally. “The child is honest. I didn’t want her to fret because her mother had turned out to be a cheap old cheat. That’s why I wouldn’t let them send for her just now. I thought maybe everything would be all right, that yon could do another magic like last night’s and the affair be hushed up.” “I am sad to feci I have failed you.” “Oh, but it isn’t your fault. I’m sure, if you had any idea where they’d gone this time, you’d get them back.” “Nothing is impossible. I may yet, given time to think.” “All right: 111 shut up ar.d let you.” Fay Crozier took another whiff of lavender salts; and Lanyard, resting his brows upon a hand, strove to collect his thoughts. Impossible lightly to pass that one by which contemplated the contingency that Maurice, chagrined by his overnight defeat, defiantly bent on proving himself the cleverer, and confidently counting on his father’s silence, might have done this atrocious thing. True, Fenno had given Lanyard in the writing-room to understand that she had just parted with Maurice ; whereas the robbery had been committed, by dead reckoning, about half an hour earlier. It would have been entirely possible, notwithstanding, for Maurice to have absented himself from Fenno’s side before noon for a few minutes—for long enough at least to have served his purpose. But it was heart-sickening to suppose that— Lanyard unshielded his eyes suddenly to see the Captain with a formidable countenance stride in through the door, which he had thrown open without warning, and Pion slink in after him with a malicious leer. “So, monsieur!” The Captain, halting before Lanyard, withered him with eyes of scorn, then executed a dramatic right turn, bowed most beautifully to Fay Crozier, and placed in her hands ti e little shagreen-bound box. "Permit me, ' madame, to restore your stolen property!” Her joy was enough to lift the invalid to her feet. “But haw won-

s derful, monsieur! Where did you find them?” k "Where but where we went to I- search for them, madame?” The 1 Captain’s tone quivered with confl temptuous triumph; his look for t Lanyard was black with righteous ” wrath. 1. "Where but in the effects of this i one who claims he follows the Lone i Wolf’s ways no more? To be exact, - then—in his steamer-trunk.” • Lanyard’s lips parted, but his 1 tongue faltered; his mouth was all at once dry with dismay, his heart 1 a stone; what could he say when he s recalled the mention Crane had ■ made of having met the son coming out of his father's stateroom? He felt, for a thought, physically ill. t “Another time, perhaps.” Pion’s - sneering chuckle was submitting, t "Madame will not be so ready to believe in the nobility to which these i brave reformed characters prei tend!” But Fay Crozier, lifting a blank ' face from the opened box. merely i wagged a confounded head, and said: ’ “But these are not my emeralds, qjessieurs—they are the zircons I 1 told you about, the counterfeits I that”—a bare hint of hesitation was perceptible to Lanyard—"l presented to M. Lanyard last night to keep as a souvenir.” That unblushing lie with which Fay Crozier finished rang two sharp ■ echoes, “ ‘Counterfeits!’ ’’ out of the i Captain’s chagrin, and out of Pion’s bile a snarl: ‘“The zircons!’” Noises not so articulate confessed the amazement of M. Louvois, while from M. Dupont by the door came | nothing audible at all—only a glimmering look which said he found the whole business as good as a play. As for Lanyard, he was always the man of reason. Nobody had appointed him censor of anybody’s tamperings with the sacred truth about anything; it was not for him to be publicly correcting the good woman’s statement concerning his relations with those nimble zircons. So, if he privately wondered why she lied for him when any other woman would have been able to think of nothing else but her lost emeralds, outwardly he maintained an ironic phlegm which served him better than any other attitude he could have adopted. In this aspect of cool amusement thinly tinctured with disdain, he watched the Captain gape at the contents of the shagreen case, wag a dumfour'ded head and. blinking, sit down in the presence of a lady standing; while the embittered Pion proved a contempt for la polite»»e , even more unnational, and crossing to Mme. Crozier in one angry stride, all but snatched the case away—only, after an instant's study of the stones, to thrust it unceremoniously . back into her hands and. wheeling, confront Lanyard and the Captain. “That’s all very fine.” he pro- . tested in a thick voice, “but proves, I if you please, nothing, nothing whatever! Granted that Madame made Monsieur a present of these worthless forgeries, perhaps he will i be good enough to explain how they ■ came to be found in the same case 1 that held the emeralds when they I' ' were stolen.” “The case, then,” Lanyard inno--1 cently inquired, “carries some dis- ■ tinguishing mark”’ “Mme. Crozier definitely stated . that the emeralds were in a shaI green box—” ‘‘And that proves that the zir- I. I cons, when substituted for them, . were not in another box precisely I ■ similar?” I , “I made no such assertion. I i would hardly be so great a fool—” i “Monsieur must admit that that . too remains to be proved.” (To Be Continued) j
