CHAPTER XVII.
Open Sesame!

In spite of his usual facility for
sleep, Don Luis slept for three
hours at most. He was racked
with too much anxiety; and,
though his plan of conduct was
worked out mechanically, he
could not help foreseeing all the
obstacles which were likely to
Illustrate that plan. OF course,
Weber would speak to NJ. Desma-
lions. But would M. Desmalions

at doesn't let him in for any
thing. And, at the same time, he
would be running a big risk if he
refused, especially as Valenglay
must have been consulted about
my arrest and is obviously kept
informed of all that happens"
He next asked himself what ex-
actly Valenglay could do, once he
was told. For, after all, was it
not too much to expect that the
head of the government, that the
Prime Minister, should put him
self out to obey the injunctions
and assist the schemes of NJ.
Arsene Lupin?
"He will comet he cried, with
the same persistent confidence.
"'Valenglay doesn't care a hang
for form and ceremony and all
that nonsense. He will come,
even if il is only out of curiosity,
to learn what the Kaiscr's friend
can hav" to saw to him. Besides
he knows me. ! am not one of

But another question at once
presented itself to his mind. Val.

you the letters. Which proves
that. he knew where you were
hanging out. And there's a good
deal more which we'll explain to
you, Lupin, in good time. You'll
have plenty of fun, | assure you.,'
Don Luis murmered:
my poor Mazerouxl"
Then, raising his voice, he said
Don't cry, old chap. It's just
a matter Of the remainder Of the
night. Yes, I'll share MY cards
with you; and We'll turn the king
and mark game in a very few
hours. Don't cry. I've got a
much finer berth waiting for you,
a more honorable and above all
a more lucrative position. l have
just what you want.
"You don't imagine, surely,
that | wasn't prepared for this !
Why, you know me! Take it from
me: | shall be at liberty tomorrow
and the government, after setting
you free, will pitch you into a
colonelcy Of something, with a
~marshal's pay attached to it. SO
don't cry, Mazeroux."
Then, addressing Weber, he
said to him in the voice Of a prin-
|cipal giving an order, and know
ing that the order will be exc
cuted without discussion:
Monsieur, / will ask you to
fulfill the confidential mission
which | Yas entrusting to Maze
roux. First, inform the Project
of Police that ! have a communi-
cation of the very highest import
ance to make to the Prime Min
lister. Next, discover the tigers
tracks at Versailles before the
night is over. I know your merit,
Monsieur, and l rely entirely up
on your diligence and your zeal.
Meet me at II o'clock tomor-
row.
And, still maintaining his atti-
tude of a principal who has given
his instructions, he allowed him
self to be taken to his cell.
1t was ten to one. For the last
30 minutes the enemy had been
bowling along the highroad, car
rying off Florence like a prey
which it now seemed impossible
to snatch from him.
The door was locked and bolt
ed.
Don Luis reflected:
Even presuming that Mon
sieur lie Project consents to ring
up Valenglay, he won't do so be-
fore the morning. SO they've
given the villain eight hours start
before I'm free. Eight hours!
Curse It'll"
He thought a little longer, then
shrugged his shoulders with the
air of one who, for the moment,
has nothing better to do than wait
and flung himself on his fattress,
murmuring:
"Hushaby, Lupin!"
