knives down in the Quarter des Haiies
She knew that one was wounded and then
stabbed to death in the cab that carried
him, and that the news of the quarrel
spread like wildfre till bands were formed
in every quarter of Paris and battles went
on for weeks. Then some one named them
Apaches.
Half the time they forgot their original
grievances and made their attacks on peace
full citizens. A decently dressed French
man, to say nothing of a foreigner, had to
get up his nerve to set foot in a lonely
street even in broad daylight. There was
neat trick Of these Partisan hooligans by
which the passerby was likely to find him
self suddenly lassoed with handkerchief
pulled tight about his throat while his
captors took their time in dividing his per.
sonal effects. In the end they would stick
him few times with their knives by way
of amusement-or to further develop their
art.
There was a gang that assembled in
strange haunts east of the Boulevard
Michel, sinister places in the very shadow
of the Pantheon, and it was here in the
years just before the war that Yyette came
into her own. She would wait in some
dank underground hole. with flashing eyes
and burning cheeks-unless she was out
with them-till they came in from the big,
risky play in their game Of chance. It
was the intelligence resting in that shapely,
fine little head Of hers that planned their
lives for them, and magnetic force in
her much stronger than their brute
strength that made them obey

they had not loved in their Apache days.
The day came for his discharge from the
hospital. He kissed her good-by and
promised her that he would return for her.
Old Impulses Were Gone;
Good Had Driven Out Evil
When he had gone, Yvette began to feel
the shackles that her old life had bound
about her. She felt the impulse to return
to her leadership of the vicious. But it
was hopeless impulse. The best had taken
possession of her heart and she was purged
of all the old, terrible desires. She prayed
that he, too, might have been purified by
the fame Of war-that he Degory, her
lover, might never be urged to return to
the Catacombs.
After the war Degory disappeared. Then,
one day not so long ago he returned to
her. He had taken up his original trade
that of mechanic. He had prospered
moderately and was ready to take Yvette
back to Rouen.
Then came the strangest phenomenon.
The fact that she had deserted the old
ugly haunts of wickedness and crime had
a powerful influence over the Paris under
world. Crime was no longer an organized
corporations function. 1t had lost its
leader and the denizens Of the Catacombs
in great numbers were left without an evil
genius
Many Of them had once been honest
working .folk-like Degory-and had re-
NAMED in the setting of crime only be-
cause of the spell woven around them by
the flashing eyes and the terrifcally grip
ping poise of this woman. With Yvette
turned respectable these men focked back
to their old honorable trades.
Perhaps, considering the situation more
deeply, Yvette was not entirely responsible
for this exodus from the Catacombs to the
open fields of honest work. Perhaps the
former Apacles came in contact with so
many people of the outside world, discov.
cred such a spirit of human fellowship in
their intercourse with fellow soldiers, that

power other than her personality-could
be the absolute monarch of an emnire Of
thugs and villains. And il is n matter of
TACT that this Yvette, this dark.eyed
woman OF the underworld, this little, 1.-THE.
particularly pretty, childlike person was
the powerful queen of the Paris cutthroats.
Her word was law. She is no longer the
queen of the Paris underworld. She was
never ousted-not that. The loyalty of the
Apaches to her was astonishing. She vol.

come the wife of moderately we'll stu
ated mechanic, who had been one of her
Apache leaders until little while before
the war came. He had been her lover in
Apache days and he is her lover now. She
gave up the glamour that ha6 surrounded
her life from her childhood in favor OF
staid, circumspect family life and wife,
hood-and Yvette is happy.
Without a queen-without an effective
and inspiring leader-the Apaches are no
longer Apaches. There is no yestige re-
naming OF the picturesque, terrible crimi-
nails of pre-war Paris. And it was the war
as much as the retirement of Yvette.
ApacheS Rushed to Battle
And Many Died Nobly
When the enemy Of France threatened
Paris, and when every available body was
needed to stem the tide Of the advance Of
the German horde, out Of the Catacombs
came the Apaches by the thousands, rush
ing headlong to the battle scene. And their
work was greatly helpful
Women, too, responded to the emergency
cry, and among them was Yvette During
the war 1t was not unusual to see beauti-
full highborn women down on their hands
and knees beside servant girls scrubbing
floors of hospitals where French soldiers
lay wounded. At one OF these hospitals,
just out of the city of Paris, slim, dark.
eyer, dark-haired little woman quietly went
about the most mental tasks for three
years. None asked who she was it was
no time for curiosity. Her work was Of
the less dignified nature. 1t was seldom
and only in times Of great short-handed-
ness--that this little woman was called
upon to assist in the nursing Of soldiers.
She was Yvette-qucen of the Apaches--
surrendering her power and her pride for
Frances sake She had cold bloodedly
strangled men with her own slim hands in
her sovereign days. She had ordered ruth
less murders and had seen many Of them
executed. But Yvette was changed now.
She was working her hands to ugllness for
the soldiers of France. Her heart seemed
to have been changed by war.

\ VISITORS to Paris recently have been
" mystifled by the gradual disappear
ance of the Apaches-those once
famous figures in the underworld. Many
explanations have been given by those who
pretend to know, but it is just now that
Paris has learned what has become OF the
former denizens of the Catacombs.
A magistrate asked a former Apache.
who had been called from eobbier's shop.
where the police found him diligently at
work at honest labor, to testify in crimi-
nal hearing. The magistrate, like many
others. was curious.
"Why, don't you know" returned the ex'
Apache-one who had been dangerous
enemy of the police before the war
"Yvette got married that's lie whole
story"
Even to the magistrate and the police
this was cryptic reply, yet they were
soon to learn that 1t was, indeed, an epit-
ONE Of the whole story" A lew days
later the same magistrate had before him
another former Apache, this one pris-
oner, however, charged with an especially
bold bank robbery. 1t was not one Of the
usual crimes of Apaches, but carefully
planned and executed. scientific crime. The
Apache, too, was not dressed in the pic
turesque costume 80 familiar to the WISH
tors to the Catacombs, but in neat, modish
clothes.
The magistrate informed as to his iden-
tity, asked him the question.
Can you tell me what has become Of
your old associates? They do not seem
to be so numerous or troublesome"
Eve took our cue from Yvette, the
queen-she left US and settled down, you
know" was the reply. just as cryptic. it
seemed, as the other.

Yvette, who as queen had ruled the I'M

fell to the lot Of Yvette. There we're times
when she staged the scenario and took
the leading part herself. She did 1t with
an unwavering nerve that might have
been devoted to better purpose but
never, to better effect until--well, it has
already been said that an Apache queen
has one weak spot, and it is as vulnerable
as the heel Of Achilles.
The story that is sitting through Paris
now tells how it happened, how the cold
and calculating Yvette was finally touched

makeup. La Dame de Bon Chance" they
called her, because she always brought
fortune to the enterprises Of the Paris un-
derworld and none at all to those of the
Paris police. She would say that in the
end she brought the only real luck in the
world to herself, and that turned out to
be the one f1awless spot and was what
saved her. And some of the other old
Apaches would understand what she
meant. The story has told much more than

Began With Joy Ride
And Jewelry HoIdup
The whole adventure began like reck-
less Joy ride in a stolen automobile, but as
a fact 1t was quite otherwise. There were
five british, square jawed, square shoul-
dered men and slip of girl, black
haired, alert, with something electric
about her movements--and something
fine In her face despite the company she
was In and the errand she was on, as it
afterward developed. They went Joy riding
toward Versailles, but on a matter that
was strictly business and carefully
planned-by the black haired girl.
The car turned twice around the block
at Suresnes and drew up in front of the
Duval iewelry store. Like fash the
plate glass window crashed with blow
Of the cars lack" and. three trays had
passed hand to hand into the car. Yvette
was tense, her eyes on the watch every
where and the sparkle of diamonds still,
tempting her further.
"The top tray-at the left--quick," she
directed. 1t was in her hands. LET her
have it," was the next sharp command,
for Nine. Duval had rushed, screaming
the alarm, from the door. The bandit did
not hesitate, and as the car leaped for
ward with sudden roar of engines there
were two almost simultaneous reports and
the jewelers. wife dropped, wounded in
two places.
The car rushed on as far as Colombes.
There the "joy riders" abandoned 1t and
rode TRANQUILITY into Paris on the train.
without even having been on the train,
any one who knew Yvette would say that
she gave gay laugh when it was all over
and that softer look came into her eyes
then as she looked across at Degory. She
was seeing the week ahead, in which he
would take her. exquistely gowned and
decked in diamonds, to the fashionable
cafes and restaurants. And the same light
was in the eyes Of Degory and trace of
the same fineness In his features that was
in Yvette's, and that somehow was out OF
keeping with the accepted conception Of
bandit.
The haul was divided next day in room
on the rue Moufetard. The boys made
present to Yvette Of some handsome pins
and rings and the rest she took out and
sold for $4,000 francs, of which she brought
back 1880 on account. But part of the
prize never came up for division at all
and nobody missed it. ~
Degory had planned surprise for the
queen and he took few pieces Of 'jewelry
and disposed Of them ON the sly--to a
fence" who worked with the police, un-
fortunately. "Fortunately"--Yvette would
say now, because that is what began all
the trouble.
She was only terrified by the treason OF
the man she loved--her Apache lover
fearful lest the comrades knife him: and
she spent two days trying to Keep him
safe from his bandit comrades before she
found that the police were on his trail.
She dared not tell the boys that they were
all in danger. through Degory and they
didn't know what to make Of her excite
ment, her pleading that they CO. separate
quickly. Bah, there's no hurry. They we're
kidding her now.
