Omnnrtfiht by the Bobbs-Morriß Coswaw CHAPTER XVIII. — • Monsieur. Explains. From considerable experience with the Latin temperament, I long ago came to the conclusion that It “works in a mysterious way Its wonders to perform;” and certainly-Its emotional reactions are so much more histrionic than one is accustomed to In AngloSaxon life that I was not completely unhinged when monsieur collapsed in a chair and burled his face in his hands and began to sob. Even then I had a sneaking suspicion that he was not without an eye to the main chance In its dramatic effect on me; his fate was In my hands and he had to make every appeal that would work. I said, “Bsh” and tiptoed back along the hall, threw open the front door as wide as I could get it on the chain-bolt and peeped out to see If the detective had returned and was eavesdropping... But though I thought I heard a alight shuffling noise on the stairs, I could see nothing and did not dare to investigate more intimately and went back to my study with another “Ssh” to monsieur, who by this time was alive again to the case. “It was you he was after—didn’t you hear what he said?” “Oul —I hear everyfdnfif—and it la my little Claire.” He buried his face in his hands and his shoulders heaved as it he were weeping. I didn’t relish this sort of a scene with him, and besides, time was pressing—ls this man were trying to find Claire and kidnap her, something had. to be done immediately. “Do you sink zat man suspects I am here?” asked monsieur, suddenly looking up. “No—l don’t see how he can. But 1 ’think he’s trying to find out where you are.” “Oul! And why does he seek mol Only zat he knows If I have my daughter still wis me—and can protect her from zoze who have already seek to •teal her from me once before.” “Oh! Then you know who this is?” “I do not see him, but I sink to recognize his voice. It is a plot against us—it is a plot on se part of France to prevent ze tr«Bty wis Mexico. Ouil Mon Dieu — it has in some way be* come known zat I am ze secret messenger of ze emperor and spies are sent out to follow me and if not to kill me, at least to keep me from going to Mexico until it is too late!” Monsieur put the case tersely. And tragically. “And do you not see ze plot?” he cried. “Zey accuse me of some crime —zey have me put under arrest and while I am in prison zey get my little Claire.” *
“But what crime, monsieur? You have not done anything on this side of the water, have you, that any one can get hold of F “Bah! I do nowtag! Zey bring forged papers from France—perhaps sey extradite me before I can even say farewell to my child." - “But haven’t you got some proofs on your sldeF I ventured. “You can make It evident to the court—” “To—ze—court!” he fairly hissed the words at me. “Mon Dieu —what Is It you say? Ze messenger of ze emperor under arrest In America?” He drew out his handkerchief aud wiped his brow. “What does it matter 11 I prove zls or zat—l am under arrest—she Is left at ze mercy of zoze scoundrels I I could kill son with my naked hands!” “Why not let Mrs. Delario take her Immediately to California?” was the bright suggestion from me. t ' He met it with scorn. “How far does madame get wis her? To Chicago? To Pittsburgh? Probably she does not even leave New York! She gets into a sleeping-car, and a man —two men—a man and a woman, perhaps—step up to her and say, You are kidnaping zat young girl—you are under arrestcome wis us immediately.’ And Madame Delario—what does she do? She goes wis zem—naturally; she dares not do uzzerwlse. She gets In a carriage wis zoze strange people and zey take her where zey please—she and •• young girt can do nossing. Ido not need to be told how easy it Is—l have experience In zoze sings—l know how easy it will be, even in your boasted New York and your America!—beI cause I know se people I have to deal wis/ I realized that that was the way he had fixed it for me—the time he sent me the decoy telegram—but I did not ' remind him ot it Instead, I admiti ted: “Yes—l see, It could be done. It wouldn’t be safe.” J—“Zey care not for sat” be broke te. “Mon Dieu! How Is she to be savedF He looked at me and there were tear* in his eyes. „ _ _ | The only thing I could suggest was, .“We might appeal for police protection.” which he met with something between a groan and * shriek.

imuw: x’leverf We must exhaust all zat we can sink of to tryall places where we may hide, she and L “Mrs. Delario will conceal Claire, ( and for myself—” he stopped to con-1 sider this a moment and asked again: ' “You do not sink zat so-called detective suspects zat lam here? Well, zen I hide here for ze present" “Oh, I can’t keep you here !” I cried tn some dismay. “No, madame—l do not suggest it” He smiled a little. “But I can trust you to kdep my confidence zat I have gone to my apartment below?” “Oh—l remember! But how are you ; going to get into it? There’s probably a man in the hall now, waiting for you to come down.” “Ze fire escape—after dark. Zat Is, if I dare trespass upon your hospitality for zis afternoon?” "Yes, of course,” I answered as cordially as I could; though the prospect didn’-t fill me with any joy—a whole afternoon shut up alone with him and the diamonds'! “It reaHy isn’t safe for you to stay here,” I began, when the rumble of the dumb-waiter gave me another bright thought. “And the fire escape won’t do, either—somebody would be sure to see you. You’ll have to go down by the dumb-waiter, and you’d better do it as soon as possible—in case that man comes back. And he will —I know he will.” Monsieur considereil this a moment and then asked: “But how should I arrive inside my own apartment? Ze door to zat little lift is shut and fastened on ze inside.”
“I’ll lend yon my icepick and you can pry the door open. It’s easy enough to do—the elevator boy once got into my own flat that way for me when 4-had lost my key—borrowed an Icepick from some one in a flat below and came up the dumb-waiter.” “Ah—l see,” and he agreed with me it would be safer for him to go. Thinking I might start him on bls downward way and be rid of him before Billy came—and I was expecting him to return from Mrs. Delario’s every minute and thought it much wiser to see him alone and hear the news about Claire—l stepped into the kitchen to get the icepick and show monsieur how to use it on his door. The dumb-waiter was rumbling up and up—apparently it was stopping at my flat; and thinking it might be something for me, or else a mistake for the flat below, to which I would have to call down, "You’ve got the wrong flat!” I stopped a moment, icepick in hand, to see If the bell would ring. There was a slight ptfshlng against the dumb- waiter door—three or four little clicks against the catch, such as the wind might make blowing up the shaft, had there been any wind to blow. Almost before I, had taken this in, there was a different sound along the crack, like a tool on sheet metal—a sort of scratching, followed by a sharp creak. The door burst open and I found myself looking into the eyes of my just-dismissed detective. It would be hard to say which of the two of us, the man or myself, was the more flabbergasted by the situation. As for me, I was too astonished to utter a peep; and on his aide, the rumble of the dumb-waiter had drowned whatever noise I had-made in getting the icepick, and hearing not a sound in the kitchen while he listened before trying the door, and seeing me now in a warlike attitude with a savage-looking weapon In my hand ready for a lunge at him, well—l fancy it was not calculated to Inspire him with calm. At any rate, I know it was I who first discovered some presence of mind, and—before he could pull himself up enough to get In, for his waist was below the level of the sill—l bounced back >to ti>e hall, slamming the kitchen door after me and locking tt In

cwu bbcguuS mure i duo up the chainbolt and had warned monsieur of danger and to keep absolutely still; and all this while Mr. Detective Man was scrambling into the kitchen. He gave a wrench on the door handle, expecting to find me trying to hang on to the other side—and found the door locked. “Diable!” I heard him say, low under his breath, k Monsieur had tiptoed to a place beside me, and though white as a sheet, conducted himself admirably. I had. by framing the words with my lips, made him understand that the man who had just broken in through the dumb-waiter shaft was the detective I had dismissed at the front door not fifteen minutes ago. By signs I then communicated to monsieur the suggestion that now was his chance to escape by the front door while I held his pursuer in the kitchen. Monsieur disagreed with me, flatly, and by signs, informed me that there might be half a dozen men wafting in the outer hall to nab him the instant he showed his face. Which seemed reasonable and likely and I had no means of disproving the contention. I therefore made the next move on my Intruder. “Hello, mister,” I called through the door at him. “You may as wen go out tite way you came In, for you’ve got as far as you’ll get into this flat.” “Madame, listen,” he returned. “On my word .of honor I mean you no barm —I wish only to speak with you, privately and Immediately.” “Your method of obtaining private interviews is most. Inviting—also convincing of the truth of what you say.” “You left me ne alternative—l am tn aAa ** (TO BE CONTINUED)
