CHAPTER Xxx.
COUNCIL OF WAR.

When Paris opened her eyes on
the morning of Thursday, the
18th Of October, it was to rejoice
at one of those soft and beautiful
days of autumn which make Of
every house a dungeon to be es-
capped at the first possible mo-
ment. Even as early as 9 o clock,
a perceptible tide had set in to-
ward the Bots de Boulogne, or,
rather, innumerable little tides,
which converged at the Place de
la Concorde and rolled on along
the Champs Elysees in one mighty
torrent.
Against this torrent, sturdy
and energetic figure fought its
way across the square; a figure
carefully arrayed in black morn
ing coat and grey trousers, and
looking alertly about with pair
Of very bright eyes magnified by
heavy glasses. The hanghtiest Of
the carriage crowd felt honored
by his bow, for it was none other
than that great diplomat, Theo-
|phile Delcasse, minister of marine.
M. Delcasse was not in the habit
of being abroad so earl it was d
full hour before his usual time |;
but he had an appointment to
keep which he regarded as most
important, SO he strobe rapidly
across the square, entered the
handsome building to the north
of it,, and mounted to the first
floor, where, on the corner over
looking the square on one side and
the Rue Royale on the other, he
had his office.
Early as it was, he found await
ing him the man whom he wished
to see q thin wisp of man,
with struggling white beard and
a shock Of white hair and q face
no wider than one = hand, but
lighted by the keenest eyes in the
world III a word, Louis Jean Bap-
tiste Lepine, project of police, to
whom full Justice has not been
done ID this story nor in any
other Mr. Lepine had not found
the hour early to him, all hours
were the same, for he was Il man
who slept 0nl VI ~ hen he found the
time, which was often not at all.
Good morning, my dear pre-
feet, said Delcasse, drawing off

and pulled tho door shut. Then
he ran down the steps after his
companion.
Lets go the other way" he
said, as she turned toward Ninth
avenue. I'VE may as well keep
out of this. We can get the sub
way just below here"
And in another moment, they
had turned the corner.
Wherefore it happened that,
when the patrolman, in company
with three detectives, who had
been torn away from game of
pinocle and who were consequent
~ in no very pleasant humor,
reached the center of the block,
some minutes later, there was no
one in sight.
He said he d wait for us" said
the patrolman, helplessly.
The detectives looked about
them, but there was no evidence
OF anything unusual about any of
the houses.
!" Which side of the street was
it on?" one of them asked.
He didn' t say" answered the
patrolman.
We'll, what did he say7"
Blamed if | know, exactly. he
was so worked up-with his eyes
stickin out, and his jaw shakin',
and the girl hangin' on to his arm
but it was something about kid
nappin, and shootin a man, and
there bein' another prisoner to
rescue s''
He stopped, for there was frank
incredulity in the three pairs of
eyes fastened upon him.
He was stringin' YOU" said
one of the detectives, at last.
"Or else he had a Jag said an
other.
Dope, more likely suggested
the third. Look here, Hennes-
sey, don't you ever git us up here
again with no such cock-and- bull
story! Come on, boys!"
They left Hennessey rubbing his
head helplessly and staring at the
houses, one after another. He
wasn't at all convinced that the
strange youth had been string
ing him-his excitement had too
evidently been genuine; but if he
was on the square, why had he
run away?
ooh, hell" said Hennessey,
finally, and returned to his post at
the corner.
And it was about that time that
the phone at the German consul
ate range, and a pleasant voice adj
vised that a physician be sent at
once to the house just off Ninth
avenue, as his services were badly
there.

her fiercely.
"Refreshment for the heroic

explained, before she could pro-
test. 81 don't think there s much
danger; but just the same you II

girl If Pachmann s upstairs, we
will surely hear from him. He s
certain to be annoyed!' ~
Cant we do something for this
poor fellow7" she asked, her eyes
large with pity for the grooming
man.
"'The police will call an ambu-
lance" said Dan. ."There's moth
ing we can do On the floor be-
side the wounded man lay his re
volver, and Dan stopped and
picked it up. "Now, remember,
Gunga Din!" he added, your
place is so PAGES right flank rear!"
He started up the stair, eau
tiously at first, but more boldly as
no sound came from the upper
floor. At the stairhead he hest
tated. The upper hall was empty,
but just opposite him an open door
disclosed dark room beyond.
Still there was no sound, and,
after moment, he stepped to the
door and peered inside.
That was where they put my
father, = said Kasia. He was ly-
ing on the bed in. there"
Before he could stop her, she
brushed past him and sped across
the room. Then with frightened
cry, she started back. Dan was
by her side in an instant.
Look!'' she gasped, and
pointed at the floor.
Dan saw q slim shape stretched
across the inner threshold; then he
perceived that it was the body of
a man. Pushing Kasia before him,
he returned to the outer door,
fumbled fer the switch and turned
it. Yes, it was the body Of a man,
lying on its face, its arms thrown
above its head. A strange odor
greeted him as he bent over it an
odor which made him curieusly
dizzy but he managed to turn the
body over.
Why, it's Pachmannl'' he
cried, and stared down at him with
starting eyes.
It was not a pleasant sight. The
admiral's face was distorted with
rage, his lips curled savagely away
from his teeth, his eyes were only
half closed, his hands we're
lclenched and with it all, he was
breathing slowly and regularly, as
though asleep.
He isn't dead, anyway, = said
Dan, and rubbed his eyes, for
strange clouds floated before
them. And he doesn't seem to be
hurt, Z he added, looking again.

and following her gesture, Dan
saw that the bed was empty.

the hall and looked into the other
rooms. They were all empty.

Together they sped to the near

1t is true that Dan was not as
