and had perished by the premature
explosion OF the bomb. And this
conclusion was shortly afterwards
confirmed by advices from the French
police. These were 10 the effect that
among Paris anarchists IL was stated
that the dockyard was the object Of
~~ttack, and that since the attempt
was made Miasme had been missing.
1t was added that much dissatisfac-
tion existed regarding La Reyanche
and his skill as n bomb maker, but
that, as he alone among London an
archists possessed funds he still con-
trived, in spite OF his successive fail
ures, TO maintain his position.
and long may he, " was Inspector
Murphy's comment on reading this
communication. Hes doing more
| to suppress both anarchism and the
anarchists than all the police in Eu-
rope put together. The best thing
that could happen would be for him
to go on blowing up his friends until
they were all in fragments, and then
for him to blow up himself"
Inspector Murphy had not very
long to wait. Some three weeks after
this conversation he received word OF
an attempted outrage at Hampton
! Court. The inhabitants OF the palace
were awakened about midnight by Il
tremendous explosion. The guard
turned out, and. after considerable
trouble, discovered the dead body Of
a man in the gardens. Evidently he,
like Roche and Miasme. had been
exploded" himself, as Inspector
Murphy called it, when attempting
to blow up Hampton Court. ON the
inspector examining the dead man,
he had no difficulty in identifying
him as the third OF that terrible trio
OF speradoes-Lerat. Every one
OF them had perished by the same
means as they had used to murder
the innocent congregation OF Notre
Dame.
The detectives were still engaged
in investigating the circumstances
connected with this explosion when
Inspector Murphy received myster-
ious note. 1t ran ms follows
All is discovered. Let La Revanche
take care. lie thinks he has escaped,
having fed from London. But the
arms OF the brotherhood stretch far.
Tell him-your agent-provocateur-
that he is now in as great danger as
he was in Belgrave road. The ayeng-
ers OF blood are after him. He shall
perish
Signed, Anarchist.
"Hullo," cried Inspector Murph Y,
when he had read his note; "the
third failure has been too much for
them, and La Revanche is now to be
blown up himself More power to
their elbow, l say"
"Belgrave road" said Mulligan
that's whore he hung out, appar-
emily. Surely with such straight
tip as that we should be fools if we
failed to lay hands on him.
He has left it though" said In
spector Murphy. II don't know
whether we shouldn't let him and
his friends settle matters between
them. It's another case of trahison
-tra-hison! !-tra-hi-son! ! ~
But the inspector was only joking,
and half an hour later he and Multi
gan were in Belgrave road searching
for the lodgings OF the missing Nj. La
Revanche. They soon discovered
them, too, though the name he had
passed under with his laudlady was
not La Revanche, but Montagnard.
The lady gave very particular de-
! scription of him, and stated that the
cab which took him away and his
luggage and what he had left behind
demonstrated his identity with La
Revanche, 1t consisted Of several
unchanged bombs, IL large bottle Of
sulphuric acid, and the materials
for compounding an explosive powder
Of great strength. Evidently he had
/ left in hurry.
To Mulligan was delegated. the duty
Of tracing the missing man. The
| task was no easy one, and for more
than u month his reports were not
altogether satisfactory. He had
| traced La Revanehe to Paris, but
there for long time he completely
! lost sight of him.
One morning, just after Inspector
Murphy had reached his office at the
Yard, " the door. opened and in
walked Detective Sergeant Mulligan.
Though entirely unexpected, he was
received by his inspector without the
slightest indication OF surprise.
"Well, what's up now?' Murphy
asked in his quietest manner.
"Oh, I've finished the job, sir, )"
replied Mulligan.
Found La Revanche?" asked MUIR
ply.
Mulligan nodded his head.
HID him arrested ?" asked Muir
ply.
Mulligan shook his head.
Failed TO establish his IDENTIFY"
asked Murphy, in n tone of disap-
pointment.
mo, | had some trouble over
that" replied Mulligan; but in the
end he admitted it himself. "
