Fandor was watching when Bebe
and his accomplice left the magis

cafe, he placed himself at table near
them and began to write a message
for his paper. He know that their

would take note of what he was writ
ing.
at is understood the celebrated

from Belgium reached st. Calais. Two
police officers with a man in charge
got out of compartment.
Suddenly two men jumped from be-
side the path, making for the prison
er. If they had hoped their attack to
jbe unexpected, they were mistaken,
q, the prisoner and his guards were evil
IDENTIFY watching for just such an at
tack. They fell upon their assailants,
and in few seconds overpowered
them. The man they confronted was
the one who had written the dispatch

The journalist had played a most
daring trick.
| "Now that we have these two
Apaches safely under lock and key"
Fandor said to the detectives after the
prinsoners have been jailed, 1--WE shall

Belgium, Leon and Michel watched
him closely. Fantomas signed the
writ of commitment without a tre-

led away to prison.
Having seen the two men commit

tened to the office of the attorney gen.
eral to ask that he see the prisoner
from Belgium before the man was
brought before the magistrate.
The Marquise de Tergall came 70

and hotter He decided to make a
Quick escape. and wanted to take with
him as much loot as possible. The un
happy woman was admitted to his
office. Proud and contemptuous, she
threw before Fantomas banknotes
Gmounting to twenty thousand dollars.
With a cold and crafty smile, he ac-
companied her to the door.
What Fantomas saw as he dis
missed the marquise was enough 20
frighten the stoutest criminal, but it
only quickened him to instant action.
Walking toward the office of the az
torney general, he saw the prisoner
from Belgium. 1t was Juve.
Fantomas ran back to his Office and
prepared for instant flight. Into n
handgab he thrust the jewels, also the
money he had received from the Mar
Quise and the larger sum he had forced
Rosa to disgorge. When he opened
the door to escape, two police officers
confronted him. One handed him a
note from the attorney general. 1t
read:
by order of the attorney gen.
eral. all doors of the court house
are locked. and no one will be per-
mitted to leave until further notice"
Fantomas realized he had played
the game and lost. He returned to
his office and rang the bell for the
.cadkeeper of the prison. While wait
ing for the man he wrote an order
which he signed and sealed. This was
given the keeper when he arrived. and
