CHAPTER VIII.
THE DEVILS ~posroEErcE.

OF all these events the public
knew only of the attempted sui
eide of Nine. Fauville, the cap
ture and escape of CASTOR Sau-
verand, the murder of Chief In
spector Ancenis. and the dis.ov-
cry OF a letter written by Hippo
lyte Fauville. This was enough,
however, to reawaken their curl
osity, as they were already singu-
larly puzzled by the Mornington
ease and took the greatest inter
est i'm all the movements, however
slight, of the mysterious Don Luis
Perenna, whom they insisted on
confusing with Arsene Lupin.
He was, OF course, credited
with the brief capture of the man
with the ebony walking stick. 1t
was also known that he had saved
the life of the project of police,
and that, finally, having at his
own request spent the night in the
house on the Boulevard Suchct,
he had become the recipient of
Hippol.yte Fauville's famous let
ter. And all this added immense
ly to the excitement of the afore-
said public.
But how much more compli-
Gated and disconcerting we're the
problems set to Don Luis Perenna
himself! Not to mention the de
nunciation in the Anonymous
article, there had been, in the
short space Of rs hours, no fewer
than four separate attempts to
kill him by the iron curtain, by
poison, by the shooting on the
Boulevard Suchet, and by the de-
liberately prepared motor acci-
dent.
Florence's share in this series
of attempts was not to be denied.
And, now, behold her relations
with the Fauvilles' murdcrers
duly established by the little note
found in the eighth volume OF
Shakespeare's plays, while two
more deaths were added to the
melancholy list: the deaths Of
Chief Inspector Ancenis and of
the chauffeur. How to describe
and how to explain the part
played, i'm the midst of all these
catastrophes, by that enigmatical
girlf
Strangely enough, life went on
as usual at the house in the Place
du Palais-B Bourbon, as though
nothing out of the way had hap
pened there. Every morning
Florence Levasseur sorted Don
Yuis' post in his presence and
read out the newspaper articles
referring to himself or bearing
upon the Mornington case.
Not a single allusion was made
to the free fight that had been
waged against him for two days.
1t was as though a truce Dad been
proclaimed between them; and
the enemy appeared to have
ceased his attacks for the mo-
ment. Don Luis felt easy, out Of
the reach of danger; and he
talked to the girl with an indif-
ferent air, MS he might have
talked to anybody.
But with what a feverish inter
est he studied her unobserved !
He watched the expression of her
face. at once calm and eager, and
y painful sensitiveness which
showed under the placid mask
