tative father and the third member OF
the little party.
This last was one whom Lanyard
was sure he knew, though he could
see no more than the back Of ii. lie
Comte Remy de Morbihan.
And he wondered with thrill OF
amusement If it were possible that
Roddy was on the trail Of that tre-
mendous buck. II so, it would be a
chase worth following-a diversion
rendered the more exquisite to Ian
yard by the spice Of novelty, since FOR
once he would figure as a dispassion-
ate bystander.
The name of Comte Remy de Nor
bihan, although unrecOrded in the Al
manach de Gotha, was one to conjure
with in the Paris Of his day and gen
Grafton. He claimed the distinction
Of being at once the ugliest, one of
the wealthiest and the most-liked man
in France.
AS to his looks, good or bad, they
were said to prove infallibly fatal with
women, while not few men, perhaps
for that reason, did their possessOr the
honor to initiate them. The revues

at sight Of that stocky figure, short
and broad, topped by a chubby, moon
like mask with waXed muStache, Wom-
anish eyes, and never-failing grin.
A creature of proverbial good ma
ture and exhaustless vitality, his ex-
traordinary popularity was due to the
equally extraordinary extravaganza
with which he supported that latest
Gallo fad, "le sport" The Partisan
Rugby team was his pampered pro-
tege; he was an active member of
the tennis club, maintained not only a
flock of automobiles but famous rae

But there were some ugly whispers
in circulation about the sources of his
fabulous wealth. Lanyard, for one,
wouldn't have thought him the proper

man blessed with Independent means
and an attractive daughter.

forgives everything to him who con-

But perhaps Lanyard was preju-
diced by his Partially for Americans,
a sentiment the outgrowth Of those
several years he had spent with
Bourke in New York. He even fancied
that between his spirit and theirs ex-
listed some subtle bond Of sympathy.
For all he knew, he might himself
be American.

little of each other, monsieur-and |

1T will be an honor" Lanyard re-
turned formally.
In his heart he was bordering sew
eral most excruciating methods or
numbering the man. What did he
mean? How much did he know? IL
he knew anything, he must mean i'll,
for assuredly he could not be ignorant
of Roddy's business or that every

all his ears and staring into the bar

Decidedly something must be done
to silence this animal, De Morbihan.

something!
1t was only after profound reflec-
ton over his iqueur-while ROddy de-
voured his Daily Mail and washed It
down with third bottle of Bass-that
Lanyard summoned the maitre dhotel
and asked for room.
1t would never do to fix the doubts
of the detective by going elsewhere
that night. But, fortunately, Lanyard
knew that warren which was Troyon's
as no one else knew It; Roddy would
find it hard to detain him should
events seem to advise an early de-
parture.

snapped, pressing handkerchief to

verSomously.
Lanyard murmured a conventional
expression of sympathy. Through it
all he was conscious of the regard of
the girl. Her soft, brown eyes met
his candidly, with look cool in its
composure, straightforward in it's in

And If they were the first to fall, 1t

startled, and for once forgot to make
business with his newspaper, but his
wondering stare was exclusively for

MERRIAM SAYS ELECTION OF
HOYNE MEANS BREAKING UP.
OF GRAFT OUTFIT
In no other way than by the re-
election of Maclay Hoyne to the
office of states attorney can the
grating machine in the City Hall be
broken, said Aid. Chas. E. Merriam,
Republican and leader of the pro-
gressive wing in city council, in a
statement issued today in which he
urged voters of all parties to rally to
the support of Hoyne for the honor
of Chicago.
''In my practical experience of six
years in the City Hall I have never
known time when graft and corrup-
ton was as bold and UnbIushing as
now" said Merriam.
''To turn over the office of states
attorney to this pirate crew would be
lasting disgrace to our great city.
In a war against graft and crime, all
good citizens should stand behind the
man who carries the flag of public
decency. In this case, Hoyne is the
standard bearer.
''Hoyne is entitled to reelection
because of his practical experience
and effectiveness in dealing with
crime. A skilled and seasoned prose-
cUtor is needed to deal with the GRIM
inals of a great city organized on a
business basis. The arson trust, the
burglar trust, the vice trust, the gam
bling trust and the confederacy of
crooks and thieves inside and out
side the City Hall are desperately
fighting Hoyne because he has sue
cessfuIly prosecuted them. Regard
less of national party, Chicago voters
should stand by Hoyne in this crisis
