"Gros Jean, the father of La Belle
Chasseuse, arrived at the Cabaret Noir
soon after 4 o'clock. My agent ascer-
tanned from the eabman who drove him
that eros Jean had hired the vehicle
outside the Care de Lyon. Otherwise
nothing stirring"
At 7 o'clock came developments.
Three Turkish gentlemen ave quit
ted No. Ii, Rue Barbette, but the
Frenchman is still there. AS 1t might
be necessary to follow another person
leaving this house, / stationed another
watcher with my assistant, and this
second man followed the Turks to a res
taurant In the Grand Boulevard. So far
as he could judge, they m to be ex-
cited and apprehensive. They drank
some wine and conversed together in
low tones. AT 6:15 they quilted the cafe
and rapidly jumped into an empty
facre. being driven off in the direction
OF the Opera. So unexpectedly did they
leave their seats that before my agent
could hire another cab they had disap-
reared In the traffic, and, although he
drove after tham as rapidly as possible,
he failed to again catch sight of them.
! have reprlmanded him for his neg
ligence, although he did right in COM
ing at once to me to report his failure.
In accordance with your instructions.
| have ordered the watchers at the Cafe
Noir and in the Rue Barbette to be in
this office at S:15 p. M"
Now I wonder" said Brett, why the
Turks left the Frenchman alone in No.
IL. 1t is odd. to say the least of it.
Sincesthe dramatic discovery of the
spurious diamonds this morning they
must be even more in the dark than l
am. It must be looked into, but | can
not attend to 1t now. At this moment.
il / am not mistaken. the centre OF IN
terest is the Cafe Noir."
The two men occupied a ~sitting-room
on the first floor of the hotel. and thei
respective bedrooms thanked IL on each
side. Brett explained that he could not
tackle the table d'hote dinner, so he
made a hasty meal in their sitting
room and then excused himself whilst
he retired to his bedroom to change his
clothing.
He was absent about some twenty
minutes, and Fairholme amused him.
self by glancing yer the copies of the
days London newspapers which had
recently arrived. Suddenly the door OF
Brett's bedroom opened, and a decrepit
elderly man appeared, a shabby-genteel
individual, disfgured by drink and
crumpled up by rheumatism.
WHO the devil began Fairholme,
But he was amazed to hear Brett's
familiar voice asking
do you think the disguise sufficiently
complete?"
"Completer' shouted Fairholme, why
your own mother would not know you,
and your father would probably punch
me for suggesting that 1t could be you"
THAT is all right" said the barrister
cheerfully. "I will now proceed to get
quietly drunk at the Cafe NOR. Good
bye until 7 I o'clock tomorrow morning
perhaps earlier, and perhaps-well, no
until 7 o'clock!"
They shook hands and parted. and not
ever Brett, the cleverest amateur de-
tective of his day. could have remotely
guessed where and how they would
meet e.
Montmartre by day and Montmartre
by night are two very different places.
This Partisan playground. perched high
on the eminence hat overlooks the
VILE Lumiere, does not wake to it's real
life until it's repose is disturbed by the
lamplighter. Then the Moulin Rouge,
festooned with lamps of gorgeous red,
flares forth upon an expectant world
The Cafe de rEnfers opens its demoniac
mouth to swallow ten minutes audi
ences and vomit them forth again,
amused or bored, as the cas- may be,
by the decisions provided in the in
tarior whilst other questionable re-
sorts shout forth their attractions and
seek to beguile a certain number of
sous from the pockets Of sightseers.
