Arrest of Francois.
There Melville discovered the an
archist had not only got a supply
of ammunition and revolvers, but
he had prepared the rooms so that
it was almost impossible to take him
by surprise, and whoever tried to
arrest him ran the risk of almost
certain death.
The murderer of the people in the
Cafe Very had screwed up the only
door leading out of his rooms on
the landing in such a way that it
could only be opened few inches,
sufficient for a man at time to
squeeze through. Facing this mar
row opening was a table on which
Francois kept loaded revolver and
supply OF cartridges.
He very rarely went out of his
rooms, for he feared the English
police, and Melville in particular.
would run across him, and he had got
in large store of timed provisions
ready. il necessary, to withstand a
siege. Nevertheless, though Melville
knew only too we'll what he had to
face, he determined that the arrest
must be carried out at all costs, and
with Detective Walsh and two other
detectives he prepared to capture
the desperate. The four made their
final plans in a saloon close to the
arsenal OF the anarchist. and to this
brief delay, one, at least, owed his
life.
The four had silent drink, wished
one another luck, and slipped quietly
across the road. As they did so,
Francois made one of his extremely
rare excursions from the house. He
had run short of oil for his lamp,
and had come out to get fresh
supply at the very moment the de-
tcctives were coming to arrest him.
In a moment Melville and Walsh
had him by the collar, and though
small man, the anarchist fought
like a demon. 1t took the united
strength of four detectives to get the
handouts on him, and the crowds
which quickly gathered, made matters
worse by wanting to side with him,
not knowing, OF course, who the

of the great detective. The first
man to raise his arms i'll wild as
sent was the shabbily dressed man
on the platform.
| At small, dirty table afterwards,
with bottle of cheap wine in front
of them, the two men on the plat
form conversed in low tones.

the first speaker. Gle will come
here, and we shall take him to the
rooms we have for him near"

shabby man.
"Not till the carly morning."
answered the other. Even I'-and
he tapped his dirty shiny coat as
though he spoke with authority.
Even | do not know the precise
hour of his arrival"
The shabbily-dressed man slowly
finished off the cheap wine in front
of him and wandered away to an
other little group of comrades. In
10 minutes he had shuff1ed out of the
club and was slowly wandering
along the dark side streets in the di-
rection Of the embankment. As he
left the club he was followed at a
distance by what appeared to be a
half intoxicated laborer. Near the
embanknent, however, the shabby
looking anarchist slipped into a
dark doorway, to be joined a min
ute later by drunkcn-locking la
borer.
Il think we've got Frarcois!'
whispered the anarchist" He's
coming into the club some time to-
night. We've got to be there for
him. Anybody in sight?"
"No one, sir" replied the laborer,
who seemed to have sobered very
suddenly.
Sure you, weren't followed?"
Quite, sirp
Then ye'll get along to the Yard
at once" replied the other.
The shabby anarchist was Inspec-
tor Melville, and the intoxicated la
borer was Detective Sergeant Walsh!

On the way to Scotland Yard the
two discussed their plans. 1t was

long-haired, wild-eyed anarchist
present at the meetings of these
clubs was fercer in his denunclation
of every class and every type OF gov
ernment than Melvillel Contrary to
the case with most crimes, the att
thors of anarchist crimes were usual
" known, but it required not only
the greatest detective skill to track
them down, but also the greatest
possible courage. If Melville had
ever been recognized in any OF the,
anarchist clubs, in which he entered
in disguise. he would have been
hacked to pieces before he had the
slightest chance of obtaining any
help.
At the time Munier and Francois
had fed one of the most notorious
of the anarchist clubs was a club
known as the Automatic club IN
Soho, and, there disguised, Melville
went to gather what news he could.
An excited band of long-haired an
archists were holding meet, but the
sl1abbily-dressed, foreign looking
ccmrade who entered seemed even
more excited when talking over
things with his other comrades in
the club, all of whom knew him well
as one OF the most jealous members.
At the Club.
"Vive Francois; Vive Munier!
cried an excited Italian, and the cry
was taken up all over the room. A
speaker sprang upon the platform.
Stretched across one end OF the
room was a big canvas sign reading,
Anarchy is order" the motto Of the
anarchists.

The great ruby has as grandiose

crown jewels?

Il is the greatest ruby in the world.

having it by inheritance, Francis I.
made it the foundation stone of the
French crown jewels.
The four precious and peculiar
jewels are now again in the Louvre
palace, exposed to public view in the
gallery of Apollo. They repose in
a sensational trick case of steel and
plate glass, supposed to be absolutely
burglar proof, because the whole
business descends through the floor,
at night, into cement chamber hid

ace-and, SO, not in any room at all!
Yet-there is a queer rumor.

The two men conversed in low tones
for few minutes, and then one
casually dropped his hat on the
floor. He bent down to pick it up.
and as he did so he slipped small
package under the table where he
was sitting. Immediately afterwards
the two paid for their wine and went
out
Ten minutes later the passers-by
we're suddenly startled by the crash
ing of glass, followed by the terrible
roar of an explosion in the Cafe
Very and the screams of terrified
women mingled with the groans OF
wounded and dying customers.
The interior of the Cafe Very had
been blown to pieces by dynamite
bomb, and nearly every one inside
had been killed or wounded. Among
the killed was M. Very himself, the
proprietor, who had been standing
near the table on which the bomb
was hidden when it went off.
Crime of Revenge.
Such in brief is the outline of the
terrible crime, which had been car.
ried out by two anarchists named
Munier and Francois in revenge for
the betrayal of their still more muir
derous comrade, the notorious Rava-
chol.
From information received by the
French police they learned that Fran
co.'s had fed to England, though
nothing was known at the time about
Munier. The latter was then the
darling of the French crimina
classes, and was being kept safely
hidden, though, as the sequel vii
show, he was, after two years FER
sistent inquiries by Inspector Mel
vile, tracked down and captured.
As soon as Scotland Yard received
the information that Francois wa!
wanted and had fed to England the
famous anarchist hunter" as Mel
vile was known, began those in
quiries which DID not cease till 1894

The effect was unexpected, for the

his shroudl"
For Melville to have attempted to
arrest the murderer then and there
would have been the height OF folly.
For one thing it would have meant
certain death, with not even sport
ing chance, for there were too many
desperate characters there to allow
him to get out alive once they knew
he was in their midst. Moreover.
even if he could have relied on help,
it would have meant disclosing his
disguise, and that would haye pre-
vented him from obtaining further in
formation and attending anarchists
meetings in the future. Instead, he
made careful inquiries as to where
Munier lived, and found that he. like
Francois. had made the room he was
living i'll, in Soho, perfect death
trap for anyone who tried to arrest
him.
The detective learned that this
room contained no fewer than Ave
automatic pistols, as well as num-
Der of large-sized, keen-edged surgi-
cal knives, similar to those used by
doctors for amputations! Munier al
ways carried one of these knives
upon him, as well as two pistols.
Inspector Melville, however. was
not to be daunted by such terrible
odds. At the first possible oppor-

and arrest every member in it. If
Francois were not present then it
was agreed to keep all the members
under arrest, and capture him as he
came in. 1t was known that he was
an exceedingly dangerous man, and
would not hesitate to kill if he had
the opportunity.
Within an hour large force of po-
lice, headed by Inspector Melville,
who had completely lost his foreign
appearance, raided the building and
arrested all who were found in it.
But Francois had apparently not ar
rived, and Detective Walsh acted the
part of doorkeeper, while Melville
waited inside the club for his man.
Every body who came into the club
was admitted by Walsh ant arrested
by Melville and other detectives in
waiting, and in few hours the po-
lice had in their charge a large num-
Der of the most dangerous and des-
perate anarchists in London, but
somehow or other either Francois
had got wind of what had happened.
or. what was far more likely, he had
altered his plans at the last minute,
fearing they would leak out. One
of the greatest troubles the bomb
throwing assassins of those day had
was preventing news getting into the
hands of the police. That was why
thew contin daliv altered their plans
at the very last moment, Little did
they know how often Melville him
self attended their own meetings and
voted his own death!
When the detective realized that
his bird was not walking into the
net prepared for him he quietly re-
leased all the anarchists he had ar
rested, and left them to shout ex-
cuses and swear vengeance to their
hearts content against the police to
one another.
But at another meeting Melville
learned that Francois had been de-
layed 1t was sheer accident he had
not arrived at the Autonomie club
that night. What was more impor-
tant, however,, to the detective was
that he found out Francois was lying

He began unlocking locks, with
