physician get into his automobile
would have been surprised to see the
man who came from it in this not toe
reputable quarter of Paris. Instead
of the polished gentleman with the
fair beard who was dressed in the
latest fashion and wore flower in his
button hole, there issued quite anoth-
cr person. The man was smooth
faced, attired in II jacket, with soft
collar and flowing tie, and the appear
ance of one of those mysterious indi-
vidualS whose method of livelihood is
unknown until the police make an in
dustrious inquiry.
Jumping out of their taXicab, Juve
and Fandor could not conceal their de-
fact that they were following the
man.
We've got him." exclaimed Juve.
| How that we're on the trail, were in
| for some hot work"
At n safe distance they shadowed
the man who had been DR.. Chalek.
He walked along without troubling to
see if any one appeared to be follow
ing him. AT last the elevated rail
way was reached. Leaning against
one Of the pillars, Il woman was wait
| ing.
If the man Juve and Fandor fol-
lowed was not easily catalogued, the
v oman certainly was. Despite her
air of distinction. her dress set her
apart as one of those unfortunate
creatures who tramp the streets of
Paris after dark. Without sign of
recognition, she watched the man ap-
proach. He did not even look at her,
it seemed, but as he passed he held
out his hand. Into it the woman slip
ped Il letter. He walked on, and the
young woman turned away.
"Ill take the man, you follow the
woman" Juve directed.
The detective did not lose sight of
the man as he walked back to the
Automobile of DR.. Chalek. Again the
chase was taken up in the motor cars.
Juve was as careless in looking to see
if he were followed as DR.. Chalek ap-
pcared to be. Hence he did not know
that sinister looking young Apache
had been trailing him ever since he
had seen the letter passed. When Juve
jumped into the taXicab with the or
der to follow the other car again, the
Apache quickly became a passenger
riding behind. His daring was worthy
of better cause. While the car was
careening at full speed, he drew an
ugly looking knife and several times
managed to plunge the blade into one
of the tires. The air began to leak
out, and the chauffeur slowed down.
Then the Apache jumped to the
ground and disappeared around the
| corner.
Juve had just been complimenting
| himself upon his success when the
, chauffeur put on the brakes and began
to look at one of his rear wheels. In
an instant the detective jumped out
of the automobile, and saw that fur
tier pursuit was useless. All he could
do was to look ruefully at the automo-
bile of DR.. Chalek as it disappeared
| in the distance.
In his own automobile DIR. Chalek
had not been idle. With the blinds
drawn he had again changed from the
idler of the underworld to the disting-
uished looking physician. 1t was not
until he had changed his clothes and
adjusted his beard that he opened the
letter.
