Chapter XII

Then Basil Boucher met Lola
Carewe. That was eight years
ago. The meeting came about
on the terrace of the Cafe
Royale, just down from the
Madeleine. Lola was at that
time dancing in the Theatre
Sans-Souci. She stopped at the
Cafe Royale with an elderly ad-
mirer, said to be Belgian who
had made millions out Of rub
Der in the Congo. Like MuSetta
in La Boheme, Lola sent the old
gentleman off on some pre-
tended errand, because her eyes
had met those of the earnest
young man beside her. Basil
and she began to talk. He came
directly to the point and told
her that he loved her. He had
recognized her inStantly-and
for weeks had he not been
haunting the SanS-Souci, merely
to see the dancing Lola? They
agreed that fate had brought
them together. In Lola's car
they drove to her apartment,
where she lived entirely alone.
It was the beginning of what
seemed to be high passion.
1T lasted for only a very few
weeks. All observers are agreed
that Lola seemed quite as fasci-
mated with Basil as he was with
his enchantreSs. They were
seen constantly. together. She
neglected her rehearsalS and he
made mistakes at the bank. His
mother wrote Lola letter ask
ing her to send the boy off as
she was turning his head. But
Basil had promised Lola ruby!
Body Is Found
Then came the crash. The
body Of Basil Boucher was
found in the Seine. He had
left a suicide note. He lad
stolen from the bank and used
half Of 1t for the ruby and half
to speculate on the Bourse-
to get money to pay back. The
stocks went down. and all was
over. In one desperate play he
had lost. At the time, Lola
told friends at the Theatre
SanS-Souci that Basil had re-
fused to allow her to provide
for him. She had been eager
to do that. She also declared
he was the only man she had
ever loved. After his death
Lola told one girl who danced
with her that she would al
ways keep near her the furni-
ture and other appurtenanceS
of the room in which they first
loved each other. 1t was a
sentimental idea. I wonder il,
she really carried it out? I
very much do not believe that
she did. Women seldom die
from sentiment. However, I
may be unjust. The Paris po-
lice have lost sign OF Lola
Carewe. She left for America
and we do not know what hap
pened after that. All who re-
member her here still will tell
you, however. that Lola seemed
to be desperately in love with
Basil Boucher. There is ebso-
lutely no reason, to suppose
that she killed the young man.
The suicide seems absolutely
proved. There was, however.
some difficulty in identifying
the body-but by certain faint
birthmarks. Mrs. Boucher, the
mother Of the young man, was
able to make a positive identi-
fication. Please feel free, my
esteemed Mr.. Thatcher Colt, to
call upon me for any further
