on their way to the affair, meet a

A Franciscan monk interests her.
He turns out to be Prince Gramont.
In his library Joseph Maillard and
a group of his friends are held up
and robbed by the Midnight Mas

self unable to speak. He was thun-
derstruck by the sight of those unmis-
taxable. boxes. A glance at the calm
features of the girl showed him that
there was nothing to be concealed
from her, even had he wished it. He
was further stunned by this realiza-
ton. He could not understand how
the packages had come here. Recov-
ering his voice with an effort, he man
aged to break the heavy silence.

is In those parcels7"
She nodded. "Yes One Of them
was opened, and the note inside was
discovered. OF course, 1t gave a gen
eral explanation. VIII you sit down,
please? I think that we had better
talk it over quietly and calmly"
Gramont obeyed, and dropped into a
chair.
He was absurdly conscious Of his
own confusion. How had Lucie come
into the affair? This staggered him
above all else. Was she behind the
theft of the loot? It must be. How
long had she suspected him, then? He
had thought joachim Fell the sole dan
ger point--he had never dreamed that
this gray-eyed Athene could be tracing
down the Masquer! He tried to Wis
uallze the situation more clearly and
his brain whirled. He knew, of course,
that she was fairly intimate with Fell,
but he was not aware Of any particu-
lar connection
He glanced up at her suddenly, and
surprised a CLINT of laughter in her
eyes as she watched him. 49,
"You seem to be rather astonished,' y
she observed.

breath. "You-do you know that

She nodded again. certainly. They
were brought to me-"
"Then you had someone on my
trail?" Gramont flushed little as
he put the question to her.
"NO. / have been chosen to settle
affairs with you, that is all. It has
been learned from the note in the
opened box that you were not criminal
in what you did"
She leaned forward, her deep eyes
searching him with steady scrutiny,
"Tell me, Henry Gramont. what mad
impulse brought you to all this? Was
1t silly, boyish effort to be roman
tic-was 1t mere outburst of bra
yado? 1t was not for the sake Of rob-
berry, as the note explained very clear
ly. But why. then? Why? There
must have been definite reason in
your mind. You. would not have taken

had something to gaihl"

me, 1t stunned me until realized the
truth from the note. Even the fact
that you did not do 1t for criminal
ends does not relieve the sheer folly
Of the act. Why did you do it? Come,

Gramont shrugged. 'The TRUTH

about him? After taking him into my
employ, / became the Masquer."
"Why did you do it," persisted the
girl.
"Call it bravado, my dear Lucie.

"Silly! Well-perhaps. What are
you going to do with those boxes?"
"I'll put them in the mail I'm go

afternoon"
He nodded. II had meant to have
them delivered tomorrow; it makes
no difference. You're the boss. 1t
will give the good people a little more
reason for jubilation tonight, eh?"
A sudden laugh broke upon his lips.
