His leg shattered by shrapnel in

archist could not pick the train up
from any outlying London station
every one was also watched. The
famous detective himself went TO Vic
toria to watch the direct continental
trains.
He went alone.
He believed the anarchist at the
last moment would boldly take the
ordinary route to France, and he was
right, and just before the boat eX-
press was due to leave the man Mel
vile had hunted for two years came
hurrying along and, walked up to an
empty compartment.
"Municr, | believe" said Melville
quietly. .
Quick as a flash the murderer
turned, but before his hand could
reach his pocket the detectives arms
were round him, gripping him like
wise. The two men fell and rolled to-
gethcr on the platform, struggling
desperately, while the crowd waiting
for the train to start scattered in all
directions. The anarchist made mad
efforts to get at his pockets, but
Melvillcs arms never lost their grip
of him, though in the struggle he
was battered and severely handled.
In minute porters and uniformed
police came up, and Municr was
cverpowcred and handcutfed.
In his pockets were two revoivcrs,
fully loaded, and one of those tear-
ful surgeons knives. which he al
ways carried about with him for just
such an emergency! Only the merge
grip of the detective had prevented
him using it. and there's no doubt
If he had not been caught unawares
he would have never been captured
alive
All the way to the station he
cursed the detective and told him
what would have happened to him
il he could have only got at his knife
in time! "
In the dock he said, 81 shall have

temptuous gesture to the detective,

many more desperate criminals to
their well deserved fate!

A DAUGHTER OF PAN

| more poignantly, the needless waste
of Gaunt's broken life. If by the
merciless, misunderstanding canons OF
posterity my friend were dismissed
as a thrid-rate artist and, perhaps
a second-rate man, felt that he had
as good right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness as most OF
US. If he did little good to anyone
he did conscious harm to none;
there was nothing in his career, as
I knew it, to excite the jealousy OF
the gods by overweening pride or to
prompt their vengeance by ineXpi-
able crime.
l.. He was normal, middle aged
bachelor; selfish but kindly, self-in-
dulgent> but self sacrificing, timid in
practice but. adventurous by tenn
perament; if he had indeed suffered
from a romance in boyhood l knew
almost nothing of it, but the price
that he paid for youth in which
women had played little part was an
onslaught Of love from which lie
could neither escape nor recover
when youth had Jagged behind him.
And SO this harmless, average man
of middle age had been set alight
maddened, driven to the verge of sui
eide, and finally allowed to cool pain
fully to extinction through no fault
of any man or woman in creation;
no fault of his. no fault Of Bian-
I'd 3.
Blind, fumbling destiny was re-
sponsible, and the scorching touch
of its fingers had not scared only
Marshall Gaunt, a decent, trusting
peasant boy, mild-eyed as he was
lough-tongued, placid, and bewild-
cred as an OK on his way to slaugh-
ter, had been pole-axed by an un-
seen, unintending hand. Blanca E.
the ugly little savage with the streak
of sophistication had disappeared
with no more trace than such images
as I might choose to make Of a hu-
man animal stimulated to passion
and robbed of satisfaction.
Her portrait hung in my collection,
where I at least knew it's shadowy
niche; and, whenever the afternoon
light crept around the walls and
shone on the canvas, I saw Blanca
brought to life as startled wild
thing, struggling with me for pos
session Of her murderous knife and
proclaiming that her body was sacred.
From that I saw her as a barefoot,
starving creature, wolfing sweetmeats
or tearing her bread in Jumps and
sopping it in her wine. Wherever
she had hidden since strolling away
from Gaunt, I trusted that she was
at least not hungry and that her
body was still sacred.
WAS Gaunt in Rome shortly be-
fore his death?" asked Macebridge
with mysterious little smile.
Not as far as 1 know. His sister
said nothing Of it," answered.
80! It's a curious thing; a
most amazing coincidence, when you
come to think of it. Have you ever
seen that before 2"
Like conjurer at the climax of
his best trick, Macebridge whipped
from his pocket cumbrous, school
boys knife with couple Of blades
and a small saw, a spike, a cork
screw. tweezers, and a steel hook.

he stammered. Blanca!
I waited for a moment and then

beginning to speak and to gesticu-

had taken time to realize that neith-

mood until he had overwhelmed the
girls resistance or allowed himself
to be convinced by it.
When I returned to the darkening
studio he was alone, sprawling on
the divan as though his arms and
legs had broken their union with his
body and gasping for breath like
a man who has run to standstill.
AS my footsteps rang out on the
tiled floor he raised his head eagerly
