spreading his hands Until that Nj
Johns died in my arms whispering to
me in the tongue of his mother 1 could
not have answered it. 1t was not much
that he said, but enough.
After those infamous ones, lie Bala-
fire, Ciceron Bee and Jules Lacote
had robbed the Banque du Midi they
separated. We of the police were hot
behind. Was not then an agent OF
the Marseille Surete? Lacote had the
money! 100000 francs. Perhaps they
trusted him-perhaps it was the-ex-
pediency. Who can tell?
And now Destiny plays the hand, as
you say. Not often is it so. but some
times. Man winds little reel and the
years spin and he thinks he is hooked
to eternity. And then Destiny laughs
and the thread is broken.
Destiny laughed when Lacote bought
the phoenix, and again when M. Para
dos took it for himself, again when lie
Belafre and Bee departed from lie du
Diable and madame sent her writing to
the Marseille journals, and yet again
its master
''Messieurs ct mesdames. Lacote took
the 100000 francs to his room at the
back of the tobacco vendors shop. But
his phoenix, which he had bought from

saw it.
Now, my friends. that vender of to-
bacco had read of the affair at the
RannfIn A AyAf ~

had been shot, and with his last breath
he had told M. Anatole Flique that his
assassin had bought phoenix of Jade
from him the day before. You see?
Destiny has laughed and the thread
of that infamous Lacote is broken. And
that vender of tobacco-who Is he but
man of vision, begins to spin his little
leel
Monsieur approaches Lacote. That
Infamous one, who has 1000 900 francs

will take the phoenix. If Lacote de-

unhappy Lacote do? He yields.
Very well. Monsieur's destiny brings
him to California and Lacote comes
with him. He dare not stay in Mar

chanted land monsieur blooms like the
rose
But what Of Lacote? He has blood

sieur's laugh that he does not hear the
chuckle of Destiny.
1T was the citadel that infamous La

fort OF San Lucas, that monsieur
threatened to destroy. M. lie Profess

appearance the interior of large Ital-
