DeIario would guard Claire as she
would her own child-when the front
bell rang.
l made a sign to him for silence,
thinking it was Billy come back with
his news, but wishing to keep on the
safe side, went noisily along the hall
and opened the door a crack against
the chain-bolt to reconnoiter before
let anyone in.
1t was my unknown visitor Of the
morning-the detective! And some
how I wasn't surprised!
"What, you here again?" I exclaimed
testify, and in voice loud enough for
monsieur to hear-and knew he was
straining every nerve to do it, too.
1t came over me in flash that now
was my chance to get it coming and
going"-that, having played on his
fears for Claire, I'd see if could play
on his fears for himself; I'd make the
detective talk loud enough for mon
sieur to learn something.
~ am sorry to trouble you again

apologized. "But the case is so urgent
if you will spare me ten minutes
now, it may save life"
My reply was to laugh in the mans
face. He drew back step.
IF you come here Fostering me any
more about anything" l retorted, Il
shall telephone for police protection. /
don't know who you are, or what you
are after, but l do know that when
you came here the first time, you told
me a pointblank lie and that is enough
for me-
He changed his tactics so suddenly
It almost took my breath. He came
close to the door and admitted: ''That
is true-I did tell you lie. Il was
rendered necessary by the extreme
difficulties Of the case in hand"

CHAPTER XVIII.
Monsieur Explains.

From considerable experience with
the Latin temperament, I long ago
came to the conclusion that it works
in a mysterious way it's wonders to
perform - and certainly its emotional
reactions are so much more histrionic
than one is accustomed to in Anglo
Saxon life that l was not completely
unhinged when monsieur collapsed in
chair and buried his face in his
hands and began to sob. Even then l
had a sneaking suspicion that he was
not without an eye to the main chance
in it's dramatic effect on me; his fate
was in my hands and he had to make
every appeal that would work.
I said, SSH" and tiptoed back along
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 eaveSdropping.
But though I thought heard slight
shuff1ing noise on the stairs, | could
see nothing and did not dare to inves-
tigate more intimately and went back
to my study with another SSH" to
monsieur, who by this time was alive
again to the case.
sit was you he was after-didn't
you hear what he said?'
"Oui-I hear everysing-and it is
my little Claire" He buried his face
in his hands and his shoulders heaved
as if he were weeping.
I 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.
''No-I don't see how he can. But
think he's trying to find out where you
are"
"Oui! And why does he seek me-?
Only Eat he knows if have my daugh-
ter still wis me-and can protect her
from zoze who have already seek to
steal her from me once before"
"Ohi Then you know who this isl"
81 do not see him, but 1 sink to rec
ognize his voice. 1t is a plot against
us-it is a plot on re part of France
to prevent re treaty wis Mexico. Oui !!
Mon Dieu- it has in some way be-
come known Eat am re secret mes
senger of re emperor and spies are
sent out to follow me and if not to kill
me, at least to keep me from going to
Mexico until it is too later
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 | am in prison zey get my little
Claire"
