an attempted outrage at Hampton
Court. The inhabitants of the palace
were awakened about midnight by q
| tremendous explosion. The guard
turned out, and. after considerable
trouble, discovered the dead body Of
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 eradoes-Lerat. Every one
of them had persisted 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 as follows:
All is discovered. Let La Revanche
take care. He 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 aveng-
ers of blood are after him. He shall
perish
Signed, Anarchist.
"Hullo," cried Inspector Murph v,
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;
chats where 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
Reganche. They soon discovered
them, too, though the name he had
passed under with his landlady was
not La Revanche, but Montagnard.
Tho 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, large bottle Of
sulphuric acid, and the materials
for compromising an explosive powder
of great strength. Evidently he had
left in hurry.
70 Mulligan was delegated the duty
of tracing the missing man. The
task was no easy one, and for more
than month his reports were not
altogether satisfactory. He had
traced La Revanehe to Paris, but
thsre 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, whas's up now?" Murphy
asked in his luietest manner.
''Oh. I've finished the Job. SIR"
replied Mulligan.
Found La Revanche?" asked MUIR
ply.
Mulligan nodded his head.
Had. Linn arrested ?" asked MUIR
ply.
Mulligan shook his head.
Failed to establish his IDENTIFY"
asked Murphy, in a tone of disap-
pointment.
mo, l had some trouble over
that" replied Mulligan; "but in the
end he admitted it himself"
Admitted it HIMSELF" cried the
inspector. And why did the French
government refuse to arrest him?"
Because he's the young Comte de
la large whose father mother and
two sisters were murdered by Roche
& Co. at the Notre Dame explosion.
The inspector looked steadily at
his subordinate for moment; then
he whistled to relieve his feelings.
what are they going to do with
him?" he then asked.
Decorate him and send him back
to his regiment in SIAM" was the
answer. London Truth.
