The duke gave vent to sigh Of re-
lief,
"You are a model Of discretion, my
dear M. Claude" he said. For the
present / will bid you adieu"
AS events proved, It would have
been vastly better for Henry shaw
having executed his master stroke of
plunder and revenge, had he trusted
20 the assistance Of some professional
thief In disposing Of his booty. For
his endeavor to gain the aid and grati-
tude Of the duke Of Molinford recoiled
upon him In startling fashion. The
latter, prince OF the British blood
royal, waxed indignant over the pre-
sumption that he would consent to act
as a rogues confederate, and turned
the ex.valets letter over to the Lon
don police. They, In turn, forwarded
It TO the prefecture at Paris, thereby
furnishing NJ. Claude with information
which made certain his capture.
In postscript to the letter, Shaw, to
whom It did not seem to have oc-
cured that the duke Of Moiinford
would refuse to benefit by his ser
vices. stated that he would wait at
Boulogne until a messenger arrived
from England with authority TO re-
oeive the diamonds and pay him the
reward demanded. Immediately upon
receiving the clue from the London
police Nj. Claude started for Boulogne,
and the following day saw him seated
ia the Hotel dAngleterre In company
with Henry Shaw whose own heed
lesgness had thus delivered him into
the hands Of the law.
The exvalet's face was downcast
and smllen, and NJ. Claude surveyed
him with a certain amount OF benig
nant pity.
