returned the chief. "But as an enemy
Of your majesty regard him as one
to be crushed by the employment Of
any means in my power"
Il commend your frankness, M.
Claude" said the emperor condescend-
ingly. Would that the many schem-
ers who make the Chateau the center
Of their plots and intrigues might imi-
tate your example. You, at least, l
can trust. Have you succeeded In
tracing the whereabouts of D'Aldano?"
AT the present time, SIRE" said the
chief placidly, "the marquis Is alone in
the Rue Saint Sauveur, which is sur
rounded by my men. He has been
In Paris for three days, during which
time l kept him under surveillance"
The emperor seated himself, and
supporting his chin on his hand, re-
fected for few moments.
"Hark you, M. Claude" he said
earnestly. II desire you to apprehend
this man yourself, and make his ar
rest as private as possible There are
reasons of state why such a policy
must be followed. Go now to the
house in the Rue Saint Saveur and re-
port to me when you have secured the
prisoner"
NJ. Claude saluted and went forth on
his mission while the emperor, left to
himself, remained In a deep reverie
Napoleon ILL.,, crafty. INSCRIPTIONS and
a diplomat of no mean talent, was
keenly alive to the dangerous trend
of the adverse political currents that
agitated the country during this period
of his reign. His ambition had
achieved marvellous results in the au-
dacious stroke which transformed the
republic into an empire and placed
him upon the throne Of France.
The Marquis D'Aldano sat in soli-
tary state In large sparely furnished
apartment Of the house in the Rue
Saint Sauveur. He was a tall, well
formed man of aristocratic bearing
and naughty demeanor who had not
yet attained his thirty-sixth year. On
the table beside him stood goblet
half filled with wine and surrounded
by litter of papers which the occu-
pant of the room had just finished
perusing.
Bending his gaze on the family
glowing embers of scanty fire burn
ing listlessly in an open crate, the
marquis unused silently, a melancholy
smile lingering on his pale, stern face.
A passing car rafting noisily along
the stony street outside awoke him
from his reverie, and turning he swept
his hand across the table securing
the scattered papers which he thrust
in a bundle into fire. The languid
flames sprang swiftly into renewed
life and devoured the sacrifice greedi-
ly. Then the fiery tongues, their
mission accomplished, died away into
oblivion and D'Aldano watching saw
that naught remained OF the docu.
ments save a pile of gray ashes.
AN emblem OF human hopes and
ambitions" he murmured aloud. "A
momentary burst of enthusiasm, the
splendid light of a false beacon that
glows fitfully on the royal road to
ruin = then darkness - oblivion =
Death! Well, come what may, the
agents Of Napoleon will find nothing
here to reward their curious zeal,
saving yonder dull heap Of ashes and
myself"
The sound of a heavy footstep in
the corridor interrupted his musings.

Cd in the assembling Of tremendous
crowd that filled the house to its ut
most capacity.
Outside the theater an immense
throng of people also awaited the
coming Of their emperor.
Suddenly as the last carriage ar
rived in front Of the opera house the
strident cheers Of the populace were
silenced by the crash Of terrible
explosion. A shower Of bombs had
burst upon the pavement scattering
death and destruction in their wake
and, extinguishing the gas lamps with
the shock of their detonations. There
followed a scorching rain of iron and
name upon the imperial carriage that
reeled under the bombardment and
must assuredly have been shattered
TO pieces were 1t not for the resist
ance offered by the steel plates with
which its body was lined. =.
M. Claude was one Of the first spec
tators Of the tragedy to recover his
self possession Dashing forward, he
fought his way through the crowd
to where the wreck of the imperial
carriage stood. A glance assured him
that the emperor and empress, who
had already gained the pavement with
the assistance OF the lieutenant in
command of their body guard, had
escaped with but trifing injuries. Less
fortunate had been the luckless ones
who had stood In close proximity to
the carriage. The death-dealing pro-
jectiles had torn wide gaps through
their ranks and shattered and lifeless
bodies lay In twisted attitudes of
agony on all sides. AS the chief stood
with compressed lips viewing the dis
NAL scene. his glance fell upon the
figure Of man sitting by the edge of
the roadway and looking about him
with a dazed expression on his face.
Are you an Italian?" queried M.
Claude. noting the swarthy hue OF his
complexion.
The stranger, whose faculties seemed
TO be clearing. replied with a nod Of
assent and turned to go. AS he did
so he slipped in pool Of blood that
had collected in the gutter and STUN
bled against his inquisitor, who be-
came conscious Of the bullying outline
Of some hard substance in the side
pocket Of the workingman's blouse
worn by the dark man. A metallic
Jingle proceeding from the same
source still further excited the sus-
picious Of the chief that the stranger
might prove TO be one of the authors
Of the outrage.

scene Of the explosion, still swayed
unanimously hither and thither. NJ
Claude saw that his Quarry's object
was to lose his identity in the crowd
and went swiftly in pursuit.
Before the fleeing man had covered
three yards of ground M. Claudes
iron hand descended upon his shout

tility OF resistance, made no further
attempt to escape but contented him
self with uttering voluble protesta-
tons of innocence couched in broken
French.
An inspector now making his ap-
pearance the chief directed him to
search the prisoner. The order was
at once carried out. with the result
that there came to light, among other
things, five barreled revolver, a dag.
ger and small packet of papers. M.
Claude thrust the papers into the
breast Of his coat and after asking the
prisoner few questions, ordered his

DROP SILVER CASE
Police to Make No Arrests fin Queer
 Garbage Tangle.

The police have closed their investi- gation into the loss of silverwarc. which 10 the amount of over six hun dred pieces was found in the homes of several Polish and Hungarian em- ployes of Farnham's and, with the re- turn of the articles recovered to their owners so far as they can be ascer- tained, they have dropped the matter completely. No arrests have been mado and 1t was definitely stated last night that none win be. The matter was gone over in Its entirety with tho city attorney and 1t was decided that no warrants would be issued. The detec- tives are satisfied that tho story told by the men who had the silver is cor rect and that the pieces, despite tho large amount gathered in so short a time. was picked out from the gar bage which was dumped on the estate for the feeding of the pigs raised there. The police therefore have decid- ed to drop the case and return the re- covered goods to tn known owners.
 One of the strong points which led to the conviction that the story of the men implicated Is true consists of the fact that the men who had practically all the goods were the ones who went over the garbage on the estate and were not concerned at all with the col lection from the placos whence the goods came, while the collectors had very little in their possession.
