The brilliant member of the English Secret Berrlce and the courageous rescuer of MME. DE SEVENIE and her guests from robbery by Paris Apaches had preferred to be known as ANDBE DUCHEJint. Ii was under this name that he had met. in battle with highwaymen, the beautiful American widow. EVE DE MONTALAIS, Then in the chateu de Montalais, where Duchemin was a dinner guest, there came that strange motoring party seeking refuge from the storm: the American, WHITAKER MONK: his secretary, PHIXITT: the latter’s brother, JULES, and the COCNO? AND COUNTESS DE LOBGNES. CHAPTER VTI The Apache Strikes Back Duchemin took back with him to Nant, that night, food in plenty for thought, together with a notion that he had better resign himself to stop on Indefinitely at the Grand Hotel de l’Univers and * • • Seo what he should see. That fatality on which he had so bitterly reflected, had him now fairly by the heels. Impossible—and the more so the longer he pondered it—to credit to mere coincidence the innuendoes uttered at the chateau by Air. Alonk and his party. A sinister consideration. If any, and one, Duchemin suspected not unconnected with the much-talked-about jewels of Alme. de Alontalais. • • * And then, partly to kill time, he resumed his character as the pedestrian tourist. He took the road in the heart of a day even more oppressive than its yesterday. In the valley of the Dourbie the air was stagnant, lifeless. After eight miles of it Duchemin was guilty of two mistakes of desperation. In the first Instance he paused in La Roque-Saint-Alarguerlte and, tormented by thirst, refreshed himself at the auberge where the barouche and guide had been hired to convey the party from Montalais on to Montpellier. The landlord remembered Duchemin and made believe he didn’t, serving the wayfarer -with a surly grace. Duchemin drank sitting on a bench outside the door of the auberge. He could hear the voice of the landlord inside, grumbling and growling, to what purport he couldn’t determine. Before Duchemin was finished he found himself the cynosure of more than a few pair of eyes set in the illfavored faces of natives of La Roque. One gathered that the dead guide had enjoyed a fair amount of local popularity. While Duchemin drank, a lout of a

lad shambled out of the auberge, caught and saddled a dreary animal, mounted, and rode off in the direction of Nant. Then Duchemin committed his second error of Judgment, which consisted thinking to find better and cooler air on the heights across the river. Accordingly he crossed the Dourbie, reached the top in a bath of sweat, ad sat down to cool and breathe himself. The view was splendid, almost worth the climb. Duchemin could see I for miles up and down the valley. 1 Across the way Duchemin Identified i the figure of the landlord, standing In the door of the auberge with arms ; raised and elbows thrust out on a level with his eyes; the pose of a man using field glasses. Having rested, he picked himself up, found his road, a mere trail of ! wagon tracks, and mindful of the ' cooling drinks to be had In the Case de l’Univers, put his best foot fore- : most. After a time something, call It Instinct, impelled him to look back the way he had coma Half a mile distant he saw the figure of a peasant 1 following the same road. Duchemin stopped andd waited for the other to ! come up. But when he stopped the man stopped, sat him down upon a rock, filled a pipe, and consplcuousI ly rested. i Duchemin gave an Impatient gesI ture and moved on. After another ! mile he glanced overshoulder again. The same peasant occupied the same relative distance from him. In dusk of evening he stumbled down Into the valley again and struck the river road about midway between the Chateau de Montalais and Nant. At this junction several i dwellings clustered. Duchemin noticed a few shadowy shapes loitering about, but was too far gone in fatigue and thirst to pay them any heed. He had no thought but to stop at the first house and beg a cup of water. As he lifted a hand to knuckle the door he was attacked. ■With no more warning than a cry, the signal for the onslaught, and the sudden scuffling noise of several pair of feet, he wheeled, found himself already closely pressed by a number of men. and struck out at random. His stick landed on somebody’s head witn a resounding thump followed by a yell of pain. Then three men were grappling with him, two more seeking to

aid them, and another lay In the roadway clutching a fractured skull and spitting oaths and groans. His stick was seized and wrenched away, he was overwhelmed by numbers. The knot of struggling figures toppled and went to the dust, Duchemin underneath, so weighed down that he could not for the moment move a hand toward his pistol. Half-stiffed by the reek of unwashed flesh, he heard broken phrases growled in voices hoarse with effort and excitement: “The knife!” • • • "Hold him!" • • • "Stand clear and let me—l” • • • “The knife!” Struggling madly, he worked a leg free and kicked with all his might. One of his assailants howled aloud and fell back to nurse a broken shin. Two others scrambled out of the way, leaving one to pin him down with knees upon his chest, another to wield the knife. Staring eyes caught a warning gleam on descending steel. Duchemin squirmed frantically to one side, and felt cold metal kiss the skin over his ribs as the blade penetrated his clothing, close under the armpit. Before the man with the knife could strike again. Duchemin, roused to a mightier effort, threw off the ruffian on his chest, got on his knees aijA, raining blows right and left as the others closed in again, somehow managed to scramble to his feet. Fist-work told. For an instant he stood quiet free, the center of a circle of uncertain assassins whose cowardice gave him time to whip out his pistoL But before he could level It a m;ui was on his back, his wrist was seized and the weapon twisted from his grasp. A cry of triumph was echoed by exclamations of alarm as. disarmed, Duchemin was again left free, the thugs standing back to let the pistol do Its work. In that Instant a broad sword of light swung round a nearby corner and smote the group; the twin, glaring eyes of a motor car flooded with blue-white radiance that tableau of one man at bay in the middle of the road, In a ring of merciless enemies. Duchemin’s cry for help was ut-

tered only an Instant before his pistol exploded !n alien hands. The headlights showed him distinctly the face of the man who fired, the sa.me face of fat features black with soot that he had seen by moonlight at Mont-pelller-de-Vieux. But the bullet went wild, and the automobile did not stop, but drove directly at the group and so swiftly that the flash of the shot was still vivid in Duchemin’s vision when the car swept between him and those others, scattering them like chickens. Simultaneously the brakes were set, the dark bulk began to slide with locked wheels to a stop, and a voice cried: “Quickly, monsieur, quickly!”—the voice of Eve de Montalais. In two bounds Duchemin overtook the car and before it had come to a standstill leaped upon the runningboard and grasped the side. He had one glimpse of the set white face of Eva, as she bent forward, manipulating the gear-shaft. Then the pistol spat again, Its bullet struck him a blow of sickening agony in the side. Aware that he was dangerously wounded, he put all that he had left of strength and will into one final es-

Tricotine of a fineribbed quality follows Poiret and could choose no better example.
