A Man of No Principle.

Monsieur Chatelard's disappearance
was as complete as though he had
dropped off the earth. The sheriff,
with his warrant in his pocket, hid
his chagrin behind the sugar and -four
barrels whose sale occupied his time
when he wasn't losing m~alefactors.
Chamberlain, having M freed his
mind to the grave-like Hand, main
tanned absolute silence on the subject,
so far as the audience at the old red
house was concerned. But he went
into consultation with Aleck, and to-
gether they laid a network Of police
inspection about Ilion and Charles
port.
1T won't do any good" grumbled
Chamberlain. We'll have to catch
him and choke him with our own
hands, if it ever gets done"
Nevertheless, they left nothing to
chance. Telegraph and telephone were
brought into requisition, and within
twenty-four hours after the disap-
pearance every station on the railroad,
as well as every village along the
coast, was warned to arrest the fugi-
tive If he came that way. Mr.. Cham
berlain took the white motor and went
off on long, mysterious journeys.

conclave with Aleck, or mysteriously
to rush off again.
Aleck Van Camp stayed at home
keeping a dog-watch on Melanie and
Madame Reynier, whether they were
at the Hillside or at the old red
house. Now that the purposes of the
Frenchman had been made clear, and
since he was still at large, the world
was no safe place for unattended
women. Aleck pondered deeply over
the situation.

little encounter, do you Think" he
asked OF Melanie.
She considered. HE might be
scared, easily enough. But l know
we'll that he has a contempt for the
usual machinery of the law. He has
evaded 1t SO many times that he
thinks 1t an easy matter"
Aleck smiled whimsically. 81 don't
wonder at that, If he has had many
experiences like the last"
"He boasts that he can bride any
body"
"Ah, SO! But how much rope would
the duke give him, do you think, OF
a pinch?"
