The Grand Babylon Hotel

Copyright by Frank A. Munsey Co. “She is a very difficult creature to manage, Prince, and I- may warn you that if we do succeed in doing anything tonight, we shall catch it from her ladyship in the morning. Are you ready to take that risk ” “I Am,” the Prince smiled, “But Miss Racksole is a of quite remarkable nerve.” “You honor us, Prince,” Racksole observed. “Let us come to business. Am I right in assuming that you have a reason for keeping the police out of this business if it can possibly be done?” “Yes,” said the Prince. “I am very much afraid that my poor nephew has involved himself in some scrape that he would wish not to be divulged.” “Then you do not believe that he is the victim of foul-play?” — “I do not.” “And the reason, if I may ask it?” “Mr. Racksole, we speak in confidence, is it not so? Some years ago my foolish nephew had an affair with a feminine star of the Berlin stage. I had thought that the affair was quite at an end, since my nephew’s betrothal to Princess Anna is shortly to be announced. But yesterday I saw the lady to whom I have, referred driving on the Digue. The coincidence of her disappearance is too extraordinary to be disregarded.” “But how does theis theory square with the murder of Reginald Dimmock?” “It does not square with it. My idea is that the murder of poor Dimmock and the disappearance of my nephew are entirely unconnected —unless, indeed, this Berlin actress is playing into the hands of the murderers. I had not thought of that.” “Then what do you propose to do tonight?” “I propose to enter the house Which Miss Racksole entered last night and to find out something definite.” “I concur,” said Racksole, “I shall heartily enjoy it. But let me tell you, Prince, and pardon me fpr speakipg bluntly—your surmise is incorrect. I will wage 1100,000 that Prince Eugen has been kidnapped.” “What grounds have you for being so sure?”

“Ah!” said Racksole, “that is along story. Let me begin by asking .you this: Are you awsre that your nephew, Prince Eugen, owes a million of money?” “A million of money!” cried Prince Aribert, astonished. “It is impossible.” “Neverthless -he does,” said Racksole calmly. Then he told him all that he had learned from Mr. Sampson Levi. “What have you to say to that?” Racksole ended. Prince Aribert made.no reply. "What have you to say to that?” Racksole insisted. “Merely that Eugen is ruified, even if he is alive.” “Not at all,” Racksole returned with cheerfulness. “Not at all. We shall see about that. The special thing that I want to know just now from you is this. Has any previous application been made for the hand of the Princess Anna?” “Yes. Last year. The King of Bosnia sued for it, but his proposal was declined.” . “Why?” “Because my nephew was considered to be a more suitable match for her.” “Not because the personal character of His Majesty of Bosnia is scarcely of the brightest?” “No, unfortunately, it is usually impossible to consider questions of personal character when a royal m'atch is concerned.” “Then if for any reason the marriage of Princess Anna to your nephew is frustrated, the King of Bosnia would have a fair chance in that quarter?” “He would. The political aspect of things would be perfectly satisfactory.” a

- “Thanks,” said Racksole. “I will wager another SIOO,OOO that some one in Bosnia—l don’t accuse the King himself—is at the bottom of this business. The methods of Balkan politics have always been half oriental. Let us go.” Where?” “To this precious house of Nella’s adventure.” “But surely it is too early.” “So it is," said Racksole, “and we shall want a few things. For instance, a dark lantern. I think I will go out and forage for a lantern?* “And a revolver?” suggested Prince Aribert. “Does it mean revolvers T’ The millionaire laughed. “It may come to that” “Here you are then, my friend,” said Racksole, and he pulled one out of his hip pocket, “And yours?”

“I,” said the Prince, “I have your daughter’s.” “The deuce you hAve!” murmered Racksole to himself. . It was then half pasF9. They decided that it would be impolitic to begin theft* operations till after midnight. There were three hours to spare. “Let us go and see the gambling,” Racksole suggested. “We might encounter the Berlin lady.” r The suggestion,the first instance, was not made se/tously, but it appeared to both menythat they might do worse than spend the intervening time in the gorgeous- saloon of the Kursaal, where, in the season, as much money is won and lost as at Monte Carlo. *' ■ . ■■ - ■ It was striking 10 o’clock as they entered the rooms. There was a large company present, a company which included some of the most notorious persons in Europe. In that multifarious assemblage all were equal. The electric light shone coldly and impartially on the just and on the unjust, on the fool and the knave, on the European and the Asiatic. As usual, women monopolized the best places at the tables. The scene was familiar enough to Prince Albert, who had witnessed it frequently at Monaco, but Theodore Racksole had never before entered any European gaming palace. He had only the haziest idea of the rules of play, and he was at once interested. For some time they watched the play-at the table whichhappened to be nearest to them. Racksole never moved his lips. With eyes glued to the table and ears open for every remark of the players and the croupier, he took his first lesson in roulette.

He saw a mere youth win 15,000 francs in as many minutes. He saw 4000 of those francs stolen in the most barefaced manner by a rouged girl scarcely older than the youth. He saw twb old gamesters stake their coins and lose and walk quletjy out of the place. He saw the bank win 50,000 francs at a single turn. “This is rather good fun,” he said at length, “but the stakes arc too small to make it really exciting. I’ll try my luck. I’m bound to win.” “Why?” asked the Prince. “Because I always do in games of chance,” Racksole answered with gay confidence. “It is my fate. Then tonight, you must remember, I shall be a beginner, and you know the tyro’s luck.” In 10 minutes the croupier of that table was obliged to suspend operations pending the arrival of a further supply of coin. At the record table there was a considerable air of excitement. In the foremost of the players was a woman In a low-cut evening dress of black silk and a large red picture hat. Her age appeared to be about ,28. She had dark eyes, full lips, and a Jewish nose. “You were right,” Prince Aribert whispered to Theodore Racksole as soon as he caught sight of , this darkbrowed conqueror of fortune. “As to what?” asked Racksole. “That is the Berlin lady.” “The deuce she is! Has she seen “She would probably know me, but she hasn’t looked up yet.” “Keep behind her then. I propose to find her a little occupation.” By dint of a carefully excused diplomacy, Racksole maneuvered himself into a seat opposite the lady in the red hat. The fame of his success at the other table had followed him, and people regarded him as a serious and formidable player. « In the first turn the lady put 1000 francs on the double zero; Racksole put 100 on number 19 and 1000 on the odd number. Nineteen won. Racksole received 4400 francs. Nine times in succession Racksole backed number 19 and the odd numbers; nine times the lady backed the double zero. Nine times Racksole won and the lady lost.

The other players, perceiving that the affair had resolved itself into a duel, stood back for the most part and watched those two. Prince Aribert never stirred from his position behind the great red hat. The game continued. Racksole lost trifles from time to time, but nijietynine hundredths of the luck was with him. As a spectator at the table remarked “he couldn’t go wrong.” When midnight struck the lady in. the red hat was reduced to 1000 francs. Then she fell into a winning vein for a half an hour, but at 1 o’clock her resources were exhausted. Of the 160,000 francs which she was reputed to have had early in the evening Racksole held about 90,000 and the bank* bad the rest. It watf a calamity for the Juno of

the red hat. She jumped up, stamped her feet and hurried from the room. . At a discreet distance Racksole and the Prince pursued her. “It might be well to ascertain her movements,” said Racksole. “If it doesn’t take us too far.” Outside in the glare of the great arc lights and within sound of the surf whiqh beats always at the very foot of tlie Kursaal the Juno summoned' a cab and drove rapidly away. • Racksole and the Price took an open carriage and started in pursuit. They had not, however, traveled more than half a mile when Prince Aribert stopped the carriage, and, bidding Racksole get out, paid the driver and dismissed him•. “I .feel sure I know where she is going,” he explained, “and it will be better for us to follow on foot.” “Exactly. We shall' kill two birds with one stone.” Prince Aribert’s guess was correct. The lady’s carriage stopped in front of the house where ?Nella and Miss Spencer had had thei\ interview on the previous evening, and the lady vanished into the building just as the two men appeared at the end of the street. In a few minutes they had burglariously climbed over a wall and crept with infinite caution up a long, narrow piece of ground, half garden, half paved yard; till they crouched under a window—a window which was shielded by curtains, but which had been left open about an inch. -- “Lieten.’’-said Prhree Arlibert. fn his lightest whisper. “They are talking.” ‘.“Who?” “The Berlin lady and Miss Spencer. I’m sure it’s Miss Spencer’s voice.” Racksole boldly pushed the French window a little wider open and put his~ear to the aperature, through which came a beam of yellow light. “Take my place,” he whispered to the Prince. “They’re talking German. You’ll understand better.” Silently they exchanged places at the windoy, and the Prince listened intently. “Then you refuse?” Miss Spencer’s visitor was saying. - There was no answer from Miss Spencer, “Not even 1000 francs? I tell you I’ve lost the whole 25,000.” Again no response. “Then I’ll tell the whole story,” the lady went on in an angry rush of words. “I did what I promised to do. I enticed him here, and you’ve got him safe in your vile cellar, poor little man, and yot won’t give me a paltry 1000 francs.” “You have already had your price.” The words were Miss Spencer’s. They fell cold and calm on the night air. “I wan’t another thousand.” “I haven’t it.” “Then we’ll see.” Prince Aribert heard a rustle of flying skirts. Then another movement. A door banged, and the beam of light through the aperature of the window suddenly disappeared. He pushed the window wide open. The room was in darkness and apparently empty. “Now for that lantern of yours,” he said eagerly to Racksole, after he tion of the two wpmen. Racksole produced the dark lantern from the capacious pocket of his dustcoat and lighted it. The ray flashed about the ground. “What is that? exclaimed Prince Aribert with a swift cry, pointing to the ground. The lantern threw its light on a perpendicular grating at their feet, through which could be discerned a cellar. They both knelt down and peered through the bars into the subterranean chamber. On a broken chair a young man sat listlessly .with closed eyes, his head leaning heavily forward on his chest. In the feeble light of the lantern he had the livid and ghashly appearance of a corpse. “Who-can it be?” said Racksole. “It Is Eugen,” was the Prince’s low answer. . w
