ut seems good to be at liberty once
more" said Buckford. "Where is this
place"
'In the Rue de Creuse," replied Mon
roe. II don't know the neighborhood."
Neither did Buckford. Had he known
that the Rue de Creuse was the next
street to the Rue de Mont-Rouge he
might have had a queer sensation.
They were led into small room,
where two or three tables stood against
the walls.
'"rhis cafe is not known as such to
many" said the obliging police agent,
who sat down with them. "It is kept
by friend Of mine, an estimable lady,
who had the misfortune to be left q
widow with two children to support.
Nine. du Barry will be here presently
and make you feel at home and well
come"
Instead of Nine. du Barry, however,
a waiter appeared with glasses, bot
tie of wine and a card ON which to
write the orders of the gentlemen.
They each ordered substantial sup.
per, for they We're hungry, and laugh
ed as they spoke of the difference be-
tween the meal Buckford was going
to eat and the one he would have had
in the depot.
Suddenly, when they had grown used
to the place and the sense of security
had become strong, panel opened in
the door directly behind Buckford, and
a heavy club, made Of an eelskip
stuffed with sand, descended on his
head. He fell unconscious to the floor
Monroe. who had seen the panel
slide, had leaped to his feet and drawn
a pistol from his pocket. But the oblig-
ing police agent leaped like a panther
upon him, pinioned his arms. and
while his cries for help rang impotent-
ly against the walls two other scoun-
drels rushed in. and the deadly clubs
that kill and leave no mark rained
upon his head.
In the darkness of the night poor
Bob Monroe, too chivalrous and confid.
ing. was dragged by the heels to the
refuse heap of nearby brewery fac
ing on the Rue de Mont-Rouge.
Which explains the cry of the police
man who rushed into the office Of the
investigating magistrate, NJ. SENEGAL,
and struck everybody dumb with his
startling information.

A BOLD PLOT.

6NMNSH existed, and measures were
SSESkGy taken to protect the Prince Of
Deneslia and his household while they
should remain in Paris. The police
also endeavored to unravel the mys-
terry Of Buckford's disappearance and
the death of Monroe.
The solution Of this mystery was
found SO late that in its own time it
would be of no use to us, so we'll did
the rascals of the Rue de Mont-Rouge
cover their tracks.
1t will therefore be necessary to use
the privilege of the historian and relate
in this chapter what happened to
Buckford Wallace and how the Amer
lean, Monroe, met his untimely death.
There never was daredevil in Paris
or out of it more ready for an adven-
ture than Bob Monroe. Circumstances
had led him to Paris while young. He
was rich, we'll born and we'll liked. He

frequented by Americans.
Marriage, of course, put an end to
most of Bob's adventures. There was
no more hunting big game in Asia,
no potting African chiefs in the jun
gle, no tiger batting, no shooting the
rapids in canoes, no crossing the Med
iterranean in balloons.
But the old spirit was still in him,
and in a good cause it was sure to
come to the front.
And he thought he had found a good
cause.
Monroe was sitting at his favorite
window in the American club on the
day he disappeared. A visitor was
announced, and there came to him q

pearance and apparently Partisan.
