BEGIN’ HERE TODAY. John Amsley, a man o£ education and breeding. l*ceomeß a master • ■rook—preying upon other thieves. In l'aris lie visits the Jardin ands Xyraphee with two other Americans. A tall, white-haired man is pointed out to him as the White Eagle, himself a super-criminal. Amsley suspects that the White Kagie is attempting to swindle Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Higgins, wealthy Cincinnati >Ohim persons, who are seated at a table with him. Next morning Ainsiey finds that a olnb for one-eyed men lias been founded on the Hue des Saintes Peres. He has reason to believe the White Eagle to l>e the founder, and questions a oneeyed man who comes out of the buildng. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY M _ IUT yes, monsieur!” He al-j-A most capered in delight. As I I have’’ said, my French is feeble. Yet I managed to gather from his excited speech that all the applicants had been admitted to club membership, that not only were there no dues, but that those members who were in need were to be granted^annuities, that the club was to have an outing upon a river steamer next week, on which occasion detailed plans were to be submitted to the membership by its benefactor. “Did you meet the patron himself?” I asked. “M. Armand Cochet? But surely, monsieur. A coble gentleman, white of hair, and with a manner of a prince.” "I think I saw him enter, then.” said I. “A man with a great nose?” ‘‘Monsieur is correct,” said the man. “And with an eye like an eagle, and the heart of a dove. Os a truth ,a great man.” “But certainly,” I agreed. I congratulated my friend, parted from him with mutual expressions of esteem, and walked toward the river. And the farther I walked, the more incredible it seemed to me that the White Eagle, or M. Armand Onchet, could be engaged in’ such an astounding philanthropy as that in which I had discovered him this morning. .And yet, battling against my disbelief was my knowledge of the impetuous kindnesses of those who live by their wits. Perhaps the

White Eagle pacified his conscience by such a typically Gallic charity. But criminals do not ordinarily invite public attention. Os course, though, 1 must not forget, that ac cording to my fair companion of last night, the White Eagle had never yet been convicted of crime. Per haps he did not fear public, interest in him. “GET THE PEARL?” HE WHIS PERED. But it was among the ordinary probabilities that one or more of the applicants attracted by his bizarre advertisement should be of the criminal class. One would expect the White Eagle to be fearful of recognition by such a one. Still, beggars can’t be choosers, and I suppose the White Eagle felt that those in need of charity, for the club was obviously a charitable affair, would not be inclined to question the source of the revenues which were to be applied to their wants. But I had given altogether too muck of my thought to the White Eagle and his affairs. I confessed

myself, finally, beaten. I could neither understand what could be tlie relation between the supercrook and the millionaire, nor why the White Eagle should institute a philanthropy. I vowed that I would think no more on these matters. If in the dealings between Higgins and the white haired man there lay opportunity for me. I would forego it. I would not drivt myself to distrac- ■ ion by futile speculation. Nor would I be ashamed of my inability ■o strip the disguise from the figure if Opportunity. 1 would await her text passing, hoping that she would ic more easy of recognition then. Even though one has rented a furnished apartment, and has lived n it only a few months, one finds hat little by little one has acquired i considerable quantity of possesions. I was sailing in two days: I •ould not afford to lie wilfully extravigant; so I spent the rest of this day r. dealings with ‘Second-hand merchants, realizing a few thousand francs. The next day I spent in packing and shipping my trunks •uni in purchasing some necessaries for the trip. And the next morning, promptly at 9 o’clock, I passed through the train gates at the Gare d.u Not'd, and entered a first-class carriage. / * Having seen to it that my hags were safely deposited in a corner of the carriage, I walked to the platform to watch the rest of the travelers. I strolled as far as the train gates, puffing at a cigaret. I was about to turn back when I saw, accompanied by a maid, a valet and an obsequious-seeming youth who was unquestionably the millionaire’s secretary Mr. and Mrs. Higgins. I had not examined the passengerlist, and so was surprised at their arrival. But beyond a natural interest at the coincidence, I should have thought very little about it, had not they been followed through the gates by a man who was blind in one eye. Not merely that, but he was indisputably one of the' group with which -T had collided on a corner of the Rue des Saints Peres! I could not be mistaken: the fact that his dress was much improved, that he had been to a barber, made no difference. In that first moment of shook, when I had realiezd that all these loiterers on the sidewalk were blind, the features of those whom 1 beheld were ineradicably impressed upon my memory. All my resolutions, that I would worry no more about Higgins and the White Eagle, left me. Indeed, I watched eagerly for the arrival of the supercrook. But he did not come, though I waited until the moment before the train started.

I strolled through the train shortly after we pulled out from the station. The Higgins party occupied two private compartments, as I could tell from the half-opened doors. The one-eyed man shared a compartment with three other people, American tourists. The one-eyed man, then, was not part of the Higgins entourage. He had exchanged no signs of recognition with the millionaire as they passed through the train gates, although they had been close enough to touch each other. Puzzled, bewildered, almost frantic because I could not peer through curtains behind which, I was convinced. a play of vital significance to me was being performed, I rode toCherbourg. I was no wiser at the end of the railway journey. Indeed, I was no wiser six days later when the Altaria was only a night from her dock In New York. Durin those six days I had observed, .._ closely as I could without drawing attention to myself, Higgins and tfce one-eyed man. But although nearly every one of the first class passengers. Including myself, exchanged words, at some time or other, with the millionaire, the oneeyed man never, to my knowledge, even exchanged a look with Higgins. The one-eyed man kept to himself; whenever he walked the deck, he was alone: he never seemed to utter more than monosylables to his table mates in the saloon; v he never offered nor accepted hospitality in ilre smoke room, hut drank alone. On the night before we landed, I attended the concert In the lounge. I sat with a couple of chance acquaintances near the door, where we watched the various arrivals, exchanged banter with them, and gossiped, after the fashion of travelers, about their manners, appearances, probable income, and flirtations during the voyage. Then, as Mr. and Mrs. Higgins passed through the wide doors, we all three gasped. Higgins was worthy of note. His white waistcoat was fastened with emerald buttons; he wore a solitaire diamond on one hand that must have weighed a dozen carats and been worth a fortune. A solid rope of diamonds hung from his watch pocket, supporting a ruby fob. His vulgarities had formed fne basis of half the smoke room talk during the trip, but this ostentation, in excessively had taste, outdid anything else. But he ws diffident as compared with his wife. It was not alone that her gown was cut so low that on& blushed with vicarious shame, wondering that so ill-formed a woman should care to expose her muddy flesh. It was not

that her jewels were so expensive, even: it was that she wore such an unbelievable number of them. She seemed plastered with precious -cones, until one forgot how low her dress was cut. I had read of her jewels, but had assumed that the newspaper writers had been guilty of the usual Sunday supplement exaggeration. Now I knew that they had been restrained. And one jewel, a pearl hanging from a chain until it rested like a round white grape upon her bosom, held my fascinated eyes. It drew my companions' attention, too, for one of them, Brokaw by name, mentioned it. “Get the pearl?" he whispered. “Got any idea what that thing's worth?” I shook my head. “I know," he said. “I was in Maret’s on the Rue de la Paix, the day they bought it. Me," he chuckled, “buying a thou-sand-franc brooch to take home to the Missus, and thinking what a hit I'd make with her! And in comes Higgins and his wife, and at the top of his lungs old Josiah declares that he's come for the Ranee’s pearl, and that lie's brought his check for a million francs with him. Believe me, I almost died with shame to think how I’d been haggling over my little brooch. I paid what they asked, apologized for annoying them, and sneaked out. One million francs.
