reactions are so much more histrionic
than one is accustomed to in Anglo
Saxon life that | was not completely
unhinged when monsieur collapsed in
a chair and buried his face in his
hands and began to sob. Even then
had sneaking suspicion that he was
not without an eye to the main chance
In its dramatic effect on me his fate
was in my hands and ne had to make
every appeal that would work.

the hall, threw open the front door as
wide as | could get it on the chain-bolt
and peeped out TO see If the detective
had returned and was eaveSdr piping
But though / thought I heard a sljghr
shuffilng noise on the stairs, could
see nothing and did not dare 10 iuves
tigate more intimately and went back
TO my study with another Ssh" to
monsieur, who by this time was alive
again to the case.
ut was you he was after-didn"t
you hear what he saidf'
"Oui-I hear eyerysng-and it Is
my little Claire" He buried his face
in his hands and his shoulders heayed
as If he were weeping.
| didn't relish this sort Of a scene
with him. and besides. time was press
ing-if this man were trying to find
Claire and kidnap her, something had
to be done Immediately.
do you sink Eat man suspects am
here?" asked monsieur. suddenly look
ing up.
mol don't see how he can. But
think he's trying TO find ont where you
are"
Out! And why does he seek me2
Only Eat ne knows if / have my daugh-
ter still wis me-and can protect her

me, at least to keep me from going to

Monsieur put the case tersely. And
tragically.
And do you not see re plot" he
cried. 'Zey accuse me Of some crime
--zey have me put under arrest and
while 1 am in prison zey get my little
Claire"
But what crime, monsieur2 YoU
