CHAPTER XVI.
NOW on NENERl

But the bird had fown-the "Namovna"
gone-tsailed early this morning, very sud
dinghy" said an official of the pier where
she lay.
where did she go9n
"Dunno, but think the cap'n said as how
he was goin' back to France"
"Who sailed by her3'
"No one, 'ceptin' the officers and crew."
care you sure there were no passengers
on board-no lady, for instance.n
"Sure2 l know it. Me or Jacks around
here mos all the time, n we'd a-seen any
body else a-goin off"
Sailed for France! Louvait was worried.
This turn in affairs was unexpected, and
very unpleasant to the detective.
| Would the yacht touch at Bar Harbor |
and take away the Princess and Fairfaxl
/ However, Leroi knows nothing about
this. I'm another point ahead of himr'
From Portland all Bar Harbor passengers
take the cars of the Maine Central railroad.
| The remainder of the journey must be &C
complished by the rivals in company.
"lf Leroi once suspects that am with him
he will use every means, fair or foul, to hold
me back" reasoned Louvait.
| Now Jean was very clever fellow and
well verscd in mechanics. So he fastened
to the eager, painting engine in waiting and
informed the engineer that he was eX-
! engineer of a French line and was very
anxious to observe the workings Of Ameri-
can locomotives.
"Certainly,' said the other, after a hasty
/ glance had satisfied him that the stranger
was not an impostor. "It's against the
rules, you know. But jump right up and
/ ride with u.s."
! Leroi meanwhile arrived, and unsus-
/ piciously took his seat in the cars, congratu-
/ lating himself upon his apparent good for
/ tune.
] The train was what is now famous as the
"Vestibule Express" which accomplishes
the run from Boston to Bar Harbor in less
/ than eight hours and three-quarters.
| As often as the engines were changed,
each engineer introduced Louvait to his
successor.
Sometimes the passengers embraced the
opportunity to stretch their tired limbs in a
short promenade up and down the platform.
Among those who once inspected the engine
was Leroi, who cast a careless glance at the
cab in which sat Louvait crouching down
in corner and pretending to tie his shoe
laces.
Ere arriving at Waterville. on the Maine
Central road, this little Napoleon had con.
ceived most brilliant idea. Learning that
the train made but one stop between tina,
city and Mt Desert Ferry, at Bangor, he
dispatched telegram reading as follows:
''To Amos Merrill, Chief of Police, Ban
gor Ne.
ARREST forger on Vestibule express
Tall, big form, dark suit full, false light
beard and moustache; sharp blue eye
,brown overco2t, light color and weight

This, then, explains the fact OF Lcrol anu
Louvait being on their way to New York,
snd also of Mr. Nebbitt's sudden and imper-
alive telegram to his captain.
Let us hear the adventures of these two
enterprising Frenchmen.
The Germanic arrived in New York har-
Dor early one afternoon. AS she was steam
ing up the bay another vessel, flying the
French flag, followed a short distance be-
hind her. Louvait scanned the vessel
carefully through pair of powerful field
glasses. 1t was the Vile de Brest, and
among her passengers he distinguished the
form of his rival, Leroi
All! said he grimly to himself, ''you are
clever, my friend, but have beaten you this
time"
Nevertheless. he was too cautious to pre-
sumo upon Lerors ignorance of his presence
in America. Jean Leroi invariably took
every conceivable precaution to ensure sue
cess, and none better than Jean Louvait
knew this.
He studied the Railway Guide Book. This
told him that the only proper route to Bar
Harbor was via the Fall River line from
New York to Boston; thence by way OF
either the Eastern or Western Division OF
the Boston & Maine railroad to Portland,
Me, where he would be transferred to the
Maine Central railroad, which route would
lead him directly to Bar Harbor.
One of the Fall River steamers left New
York at $50 p. M, another at 6: Is p, m.
Leroi's extreme caution he knew would
lead that man to sail by the former. Could
he himself only take the latter, there would
be just time to run down to the dock where
the "Namovna" was moored, and there
make few investigations.
Again he inspected the Railway Guide.
Passengers by the first boat were due in
Boston at $50 the next morning; those by
the second at 900 a. Must fifteen min
utes before the famous "Vestibule' train
left for Bar Harbor.
"Well, let Leroi take the first boat, if he
wants to. I'll risk myself by the next, and
get there in plenty of time"
With that he FASTENED to view the yacht

"Uf course, he added laughingly, 'sit was

Nevertheless, a journalist is often at his
wits end for news, especially when it must
be furnished at regular periods; and this
especial journalist, at that particular time,
CHANGED to be in that predicament. Thus
1t happened that his weekly letter to Lon
ldon society paper contained, among others,
this little item:
"a woman bearing a strong resemblance
ito the Princess Natalie Radziwill Is at Bar
1Harbor one Of our fashionable Atlantic
watering places. If she be. the renowned
tbeauty, she has chosen to conceal her

lbow, drawn at venture, sped its arrow
straight to the mark, which was Louvait
issnd Leroi.
Those two worthless, in their eagerness to
lget information relative to the mysterious
case were in the habit Of perusing all the
prominent dailies. They both read the fore
tgoing item, and Immediately arrived at the
conclusion that it furnished the ng-desired,
tgenuine clue.
u Putting this and that together, they made
keen and untiring researches, and each
separately arrived at the second conclusion
that no theory was SO reasonable as the one
