. bomb maker, but that, % he alone
among London anarchists posaessed
funds he still contrived, In spite 81 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 Ia Europe
put together. The best thing that
could happen would be for himto &C
on blowing up his friends until they're
all in fragments, and then for him ia
blow up himself"
Inspector Murphy had not long to
wait. Some three weeks after this con-
versation he received word OF an At
tempted outrage at Hampton court.
The inhabitants of the palace were
awakened about midnight by ire
mendous explosion. The guard turned
out, and, after considerable trouble,
discovered the dead body of 9 man in
the gardens. Evidently he, like Roche
and Miasme, had been exploded him
self, 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 Lerat.
Every one of them had persisted by the
same means as they had used to MUIR
der the innocent congregation ofNotre
Dame. ~
The detectives were still engaged in
Investigating the circumstances con-
nected with this explosion when In
spector Murphy received a mysterious
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 hirl-your agent-provocat eur
that he is now in as great danger as he was
in Belgrave road. Tho avengers OF blood are
after him. ne shall perish. tSigned)
ANARCHIST"
"Hullo!" cried Inspector Murphy,
when he had read this note; 1.-THE third
failure has been too much for them.
and La Revanche is now to be blown
up himself. More power to their ell
bows, say" .$$%$s
"Belgrave road" said Mulligan;
"that's where he hung out. apparent
ly. Surely with such straight tip as
lay hands On him.
HE has left it, though" said In
spector Murphy. II don't know wheth-
err we shouldn't let him and his friends
settle matters between them. It's an
other case of rahison!-tra- hison.!-
tra-bi-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 M. La
Revanche They soon discovered them,
too, though the name he had passed
under with his landlady was not La
Revanche, but Montagnard. The lady
gave a very peculiar description of
him, and stated that the cab which
took away him and his baggage went
to Victoria. He had not taken all his
luggage, and what he had left behind
demonstrated his identity with La
Revanche. 1t consisted Of several un-
charged bombs, large bottle ofssnl-
phuric acid and the materials for com
pounding an explosive powder of great
strength. Evidently he had left In
great hurry.
To Mulligan was delegated the duty.
of tracing the missing man. The task
was no easy one, and TO- more than .
month his reports were not altogether
satisfactory. He had traced La Re-
vanche to Paris, but there for long
time 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 qnietest manner.
ooh, I've finished the job. SIR" re-
piled Mulligan.
"Found La Revanche?" asked Muir
ply.
Mulligan nodded his head.
Had him arrested?" asked Murphy.
Mulligan shook his head. @
"Failed to establish his identity?'
asked Murphy, in a tone of disappoint-
ment.

but in the end he admitted it himself"
Admitted it himself!' cried the in.
spector And pray, why did the
French government refuse to arrest
him?''
because he's the young Comte de
Ia 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.

his regiment in SIAM" was the answer.
