weary enough Of life to commit self de-
struction.
His first impulse was to dash through
the door and make good his escape
while he might. A second and more
chivalrous one was to remain and de-
feat the plot II II proved to be as das-
tardly as he suspected.
He did not know who was meant by
the Princess Margaret or Marie Alexia.
1t was certain, however, that family
OF great personages was expected In
Paris, and plot to destroy them was
on foot.
Wallace was an American. He had
no sympathy with the lawless and vio-
lent elements of society in Europe or
at home. He was brave. He loved, as
/ said before, adventure.
IL thank you," he said coolly as he
rose from his chair and followed
Jacques.
He climbed a flight Of stairs lighted
by foul odOred lamp. He was ush-
cred into large room containing a

Il spent it for food and lodging"
said Wallace, wondering why he stood
there talking with this mysterious and
disreputable stranger.
bah! You are childish! Yet / ask
no condolences. | am willing to be
your friend. One thing is certain-you
need money and do not know how to
procure it,"
"WelY"
81 stand ready TO show you. Take
my arm and let us saunter across. We
will smoke. 1t will cheer YOU"
Another brief moment Wallace hest
tated.
This fellow" he said to himself, ''is
undoubtedly bad one. What he thinks
Of me l cannot fathom. What he in
tends / have no idea. Yet the night
holds nothing better for me than the
worst he can offer. as long as it is not
a crime | will see the thing to the end,
1t is not the first adventure | have had
in Paris"
You are silent" said he Of the cloak
you fear me, yet a short time ago you
were counting DEATH
"Is that soI" asked Wallace, hiding n
grin. Il see you are a mind reader as
well as a philanthropist."
The arm on which his fingers rested
lightly seemed 10 tremble.
Yes, l am a philanthropist. l work
for the good Of humanity"
$50 it seems"
At - an adventure is charming.
Wallace had had more than one. He
knew Paris thoroughly. He resolved
again to see 10 what the fellows SEEM
ing friendship would lead.
They left the bridge and joined the
throng on a well lighted street. 1t was
not "A fashionable quarter, yet there
was much of the lighter side of life 10
be seen under the are lights.
They passed an inviting cafe, and
made for the door.
You spoke Of food. There is plenty
of it here"
81 do not remember saying l was
hungry" replied Wallace.
"No, you did not. But it is near mid
night. And at midnight all men who
have not just eaten are either hungry
or asleep
Wallace smiled and followed.
THE fellow is a character worth
knowing he said to himself. "A true
child Of Bohemia"
Wallace had learned many things,
but he had not set learned to read all
men.
\ trifing but pleasing supper was
set before them. They ate it with
many a quiet jest neither Of the
strangely met pair telling the other his
name or the details OF his life. 1t was
as if they had tacitly resolved to for
get the unpleasant episode SO fortu-
nately ended
They drank their wine and smoked
again.
Come" said the man Of the cloak,
''it is . o'clock. You must long for
sleep"
He spoke and acted as though Wal
lace had been in the streets a month.
Ou IHe contrary ne udu HOI yet quit
ted the comfortable lodging he had oc-
cupied since he had become a tempo
rary resident Of Paris.
IL could sleep" he answered, but

to you for a bed. think l know where
i can find one"
"Ah. ha! But, now | have got you,
will not let you go. Men who long for
death are too few just now. You are a

ruflled, as If some one had recently
left it.
Here you are" said Jacques brusque-
ly. II regret that | could not accom-
mOdate you better"
IL am well pleased-very well pleas
ed" replied Wallace
He entered the room and shut the
door. Jacques had shown him a lamp.
He lighted this. He looked around the
room.
a VOLTS DEM he said. "Who
knows the devilSh plots that have
been hatched in this room? Well. one
is being Matched now at all events.
And if | am going to risk my life to
learn it and defeat it if possible, I'd
better look at my surroundings n bit
before sleep That chap said he
wanted my friend of the bridge for an
hour. Well. one can see a good many
things in an hour if he looks quick.
Come these drawers.
He opened the drawers Of a dresser
that stood at one side of the room, but
each proved disappointingly dull for
the plot hunter. No sign Of weapons,
names of brotherhoods or any Of the
dozen or more things Wallace half
expected to see came TO light.
Having finished, he Glanced to see
the end of Il small valise sticking out
from under a large coat.
I'll take look at that" he said.
He had some difficulty in opening it,
but succeeded after several attempts.
A shirt, some collars and cuffs, a false
muStache, n pistol and-some photo
graphs.
One Of these. as he held it to the
light proved to be the picture Of a
handsome man about 80 years of age
a man of fearless and upright mien;
a man to be looked on as honest, yet
shrewd; a man born to lead and per-
haps to rule.
On the back OF the picture were writ
ten in French these words
ITO arrive at Paris Saturday"
"Ah" said Wallace 1--WE are get
ting warm
The next photograph he looked at
was that Of handsome and matronly
young woman. The name Of n London
photographer was stamped on the pic
ture, but it bore no other inscription.
Il don't know her It's none of the
English royal family" he said.
There was still another picture. and
as he turned it to the light he gave a
sudden, half stifed exclamation. 1t
was the picture vi a young girl and
girl of wonderful grace and beauty.
The features were perfect. The eyes
even in the picture warmed Buckford's
blood.
"Well, by Jovev he calculated as he
read the letters IN. A." under the love-
ly face. This is Marie AleXia. prin-
cess of something or other. Well, my
beautiful princess, there are wicked
men in Paris this night who are plot
ting against you and your handsome
brother-men who will shed your inno-
cent blood with n fiendish glee. There
is one among them suspected of being
ready to cooperate with them and do
the cowardly deed. His name Is Buck
ford Wallace, at your service. And
now, my three friends, especially NJ.
A., repose quietly in that valise while
this same Buckford Wallace gets a lit
tie sleep. Then well see what we shall
see"
