CITY OF MONUMENTS
French Capital Very Interesting
in This Respect.
Every Highway and Garden Appears
But the Background for Work Of
Art-Tomb Of Napoleon In
spires Patriotic Feeling.

Puris-Paris is so full of interesting
monuments that it is never.ending
delight to wander aimlessly about the
town in order to be surprised by some
graceful nymph in bronze or some
handsome god in stone. Every high.
way and garden appears but the back
ground for a work of art designed TO
please the eye sensitive to beauty.
Whatever be the nature of the Paris
monument, it seldom fails to inspire
some emotion. One cannot visit the
impressive tomb of Napoleon at the
Invalides without a feeling of patriot
ism. The lovely fountain of Carpeaux,
in the Luxembourg gardens, is an in
spiration for the poet and dreamer;
and the Chapelle Expiatoire, in the
Rue des Mathurins. one of the least
known monuments of Paris. calls forth
tears of pity. 1t is hardly possible
to enter Chapelle Expiatoire without
a feeling of sorrow for the indiscreet
butterfly who flew too near the flame
of Destiny, the fascinating Madame
the pamphleteers.
The edifice, which, unfortunately. is
not as beautiful as 1t might be, is the
work of the architects Percier and
Fontaine, and was erected shortly
after the Restoration. on the site of
the old burial ground of the Made

Madame Roland. Madame Dubarry,
Camille Desmoulins, Danton, Bailly
and many others, and here. too, the
bodies of Louis XVI and Marie An
toinette were hastily inferred in open
collins filled with quicklime.
Had IL not been for the loyalty of
a few royalists the actual grave of the
king and queen might easily have been
lost In oblivion. AS it happened. the
spot was carefully noted and pur
chased in 1896 by one Desclozaaux. In
1915, when the horrors of the reyolu.
iion had passed like an evil dream, the
remains were disinterred. the skulls,

which had been denied them by the

Louis XVI. The king is shown sup

The statue is exceedingly interest

the only one of Louis XVI in all Paris.

unhappy monarch is reproduced in

CHAPTER III.
An Exit

Alexander"
A page fastening cat-footed. after
the manner OF all well-trained pages
swerved abruptly from his course and
bore down upon the window where the
two friends were seated.
Van Vechten waved in the direction
of Number 1913.

to breakfast. and we want you to hold
these two chairs for us. Keep an eye
upon that house across the way-thir.

body departs, or whether anybody ar
rives. and make careful note of them.

Alexander signified that he under

and watch-for even the clubs ser
wants shared the general interest IL
the House of Mystery-and Alexande
was already seated in one of the va
Gated chairs, his eyes glued to tn
doorway opposite.
There were only two other diners in
the grill. Van Vechten and Tom sought
secluded corner, where the latter
listened in blinking bewilderment to
an account OF the mornings happen
ings. But. after all, he was no more
mystifled than the narrator.
He was. however. all at once in

nounced. Lets hurry and eat-I'm
not hungry now, anyway. What say
TO me walking up and ringing the bell
at one oclock?"
But Van Vechten's comment was not
encouraging.
Crude" was his word. Il fear you
will never learn anything beyond
squash, yachts and polo ponies. Those
men are not wandering blindly into
the house; the indications all point to
a prearranged meeting. They may be
the tenants themselves; some sort of
secret society"
"Anarchists!" Tom yelled. A thought
had but to enter his head to emerge
at his mouth. The other two diners
looked up. startled; but Rerceiving the
source of the outburst, they returned
TO their meals with expressions of pa
tient endurance.
Yes. anarchists" Van vechten
agreed; even so. And you would
have a nice. pleasant time getting in

LARGE Gas Flow From eyron We'll.

Lowell. Wyo.-The greatest gas flow
ever tapped in Wyoming is sending
gas at an enormous pressure out OF a
1000 foot well sunk in the Byron
field by the Ohio Oil & Gas Company.
The estimated flow of the well is 12.-
$4,000 cubic feet daily. The new gas
well is one of several which have been
brought in in the Byron field recent

present could supply 3l,OO0,0O0 cubic
feet of gas daily, equal in caloric val
lie to 5000 tons OF coal.

that he would have been rather sur
prised than otherwise IL one o'clock
came and went without bringing
fresh arrival. And there was another
arrival, and he was surprieed-very
much surprised. And Tom Phinney
lost his second wager. too. which he
could i'll afford to do.
This was the way of it.
1t was very close to one when they
resumed their seats. Alexander, with
patient disappointment, reported that
nothing at all had happened. Then
the clock struck the hour, and taxi
cab whirled madly up and came to a
skidding stop in front of Number 1913.
A lady hastily descended, n fashion
ably gowned lady, who fairly ran up
the steps; and before she had time
even to touch the bell the door swung
open and she darted through the open
ing and was swallowed up.
Tom was indignant and disguised.
Now what do you think of that!"-
giving the exclamation the slangiest
sort of intonation. He was, of course.
thinking only of the outcome OF the
bet.
But Van Vechten had not heard. The
instant the woman appeared at the top
of the stoop-untiI then the cab had
partially concealed her-he startled
Tom into forgetfulness of his disap-
pointment, by bounding from his chair.
At the same time he smothered an ex-
clamation which, although inarucu-
late, was a good deal more indicative
of agitation and amazement than
Toms had been.
What the dickensI" Tom cried.
Van Vechten slowly sank back into
his seat again.
IL thought-for a moment" he
muttered vaguely. "If l did not posi-
lively know to the contrary, should
say"
He left 1t unsaid, however. The cab
turned and departed, and the young
man sat staring in berplexed way at
the closed door. 1t was as silent and
illegible as it had been for months.
the windows all as irresponsive. the
sooty facade as sphinxlike.
Tom was still contemplating his
friend in bewilderment.
You didn't by any chance think 1t
was Miss Carew. did you?" he asked
The other bent a startled look upon
him.
Paige? Heavens, no! Don't be a
blooming idiot. 1t was a young girl.

The words trailed of.
There followed a moment of silence,
then he announced with quiet de-
cision:
Tom, / believe my interest is re-
| viying. II you don't mind, my dear
fellow. we shall see whether this is an
occasion calling for an outsiders inter
ference"
Tom thortled. Enter, a girl. and
the bludgeon is to be supplemented by
keen. thin blade"
Just So. old man." drawled his
friend.
But these two puzzled young men
were not afforded much time to ex-
change views upon the newest develop
, ment. Without the slightest forewarn
ing of the gravity of what was about
to happen. Number 1913 gave them
the most startling episode SO far of
the day.

A long distance telephone nessag e
