| ing his malignant purposes-in fact, he
| had created some jealousy in an
archist circles by refusing to place
confidence in any others than those.
The communication concluded by
stating that the misadventure by
| which Louis Rocne had lost his life
| had not in the slightest degree dis
couraged La Revanche and his asso-
| ciates, and that another attempt at
outrage might be expected at any mo-
ment. According to the rumors circu-
lating among the militant anarchists
IN Paris this would probably take the
form of an explosion at Woolwict
| arsenal or at some OF the government
dockyards
On receiving this communication In
| speetor Murphy had another consulta-

and is probably a Frenchman. That's
too vague to help US much. We can't
shadow every French gentleman living
In West London, and yet while he's

RACES It's true he is said now to en-
ploy only Miasme and Lerat, but even
if we catch them he.will soon get other
desperadoes to take their places. He
carries the sinews of war, and as long
as he has money and bomb manu-
factory we shall have plenty Of OUT
RACES"
That's quite true" said Inspector
Murphy. The pressing question
then is, how can we trap La Re-
vanche?"
Il was thinking" said Mulligan,
"that when we're fortunate enough to
trace Miasme and Lerat we should
not arrest them-only shadow them
La Revanche must meet them some
time or other, and when he does we
could shadow him until we discover
might catch the lot"
"A sensible plan" answered the in
spector. But, no doubt, Miasme and
Lerat meet others than La Revanche.
How could you tell which is which,"
We'll, probably they don't meet
many gentlemen-French or other
wise" argued Mulligan, $50 we should
shadow all the well-drcssed people
they speak to or have dealing with.
At any rate. that seems to me the only
chance of catching La Revanche."
The inspector lay back in his chair
and reflected. While he was doing SO
messenger entered the room and
handed him a telegram. He tore the
envelope open and glanced at the
message. Then he whistled.
by Jove" he exclaimed; "they are
going it. Just listen!
Portsmouth, 11:20 p. N. Explosion

property. No trace of perpetrator of

Looks like another bungle," said
Mulligan, quietly.
Faith it does" answered the in
spector. "but it may put US on the
track of the rascals. Mull'gan, start
you by the first train and make search
ing inquiries"
Mulligan did start by the first train
and did make searching inquiries.
These inquiries resulted in pretty
certain opinion that, as he said when
the telegram was received, there had
been another bungle. He discovered
that at Southsea a foreigner on the
night Of the explosion had hired a
small rowing boat and that that boat
had not been returned. He discovered
further that fragments of rowing
boat similar to the one hired had been
picked up outside Portsmouth harbor.
On showing TO the owner of the miss
ing boat the photographs OF Miasme
and Lerat, that person, after some hes
itation, identified Miasmc as the for
eigner who hired the boat. From
these facts Mulligan drew the conclu-
to blow up the doclSyard or the shipping
in Portsmouth harbor. and had per
ished by the premature explosion OF
the bomb. And this conclusion was
shortly afterwards confirmed by ad-
vices from the French police. These
were to the effect that among Paris
anarchists it was stated that the dock
yard was the object of attack, and
that since the attempt was made Nj
asme had been missing. 1t was added
that much dissatisfaction existed re.
garding La Revanche and his skill as
q bomb maker, but that, as he alone
among London anarchists possessed
funds he still contrived, in spite OF his
successive failures, to maintain his po-
sition.
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 Europe
put together. The best thing that
could happen would be for him TO &C
on blowing up his friends until they're
all in fragments. and then for him to
blow up himself"
Inspector Murphy had not long 20

rersation he received word Of an at
