Picking most circumspect route
across the river-via the Point Mira.
beau-to the all-night Geographic bu.
reau in the Rue de Grenelle, he dis.
patched cryptic message to the min.
lister Of war, then with the same pains
to avoid notice made back toward the
Rue des Acacias. But it wasn't DOS
sible to recross the Seine covertly-
In effect, at least-without returning
the way he had come-a long detour
that irked his impatient spirit to con-
template.
Unwisely he elected to cross by
way of the Pont des Invalides-how
unwisely was borne in upon him al.
most as soon as he turned from the
brilliant Quai de la Conference into
the darkling Rue Francois Premier;
he had won scarcely twenty yards
from the corner when, with q rush. its
motor purring like some great tiger
cat, a powerful touring car swept up
from behind. drew abreast, but instead
of passing, checked speed until its
pace was even with his own.
Struck by the strangeness Of this
maneuver, he looked quickly round, to
recognize the moonlike mask of De
Morbihan grinning sardonically at him
over the steering wheel of the black
car.
A second hasty glance discovered
four men in the back. With no time

their origin as little as their malign
intent - Belleville DULLES, beyond
doubt. drafted from Popinot's bat
talions, with orders to bring in the
Lone Wolf, dead or alive.
He had instant proof that his appre.
tensions were unexaggerated. OF Z
sudden De Morbihan cut out his en-.
gine's muller and turned loose his
electric horn. Between the deep.
detonations of the exhaust and
the mad, blatant yowling Of the warn.
Ing hideous clamor echoed and re-.
echoed in that quiet street, racket
In which the report of q revolver-shot
was drowned out and went unnoticed.
Lanyard himself might have been un.
aware of 1t lad he not caught, out Of
the corner of his eye. q flash of fire
that spat out at him like flaming ser.
