his companions entered the waiting
nacre and rattled away.
Baxenter and Berwick took rooms
for themselves in a comfortable betel
in the Betneverd. St. Michel, and dur-
ing the day kept within doors. M.
Brieux had pronneed to let thenekeow
at the earliest moment after the visi-
tors to the Hotel d'Elelair returned. As
night fell, however, and the lights of
the cafes beneath them twinkled out
invitingly; the restraint became irk-
some, end at 0 o'clock, leaving word
where they were Lo be found, they
went out on to the gaily lighted thor-

Perhaps there were few better
places from which o watch the varied
life of the Quarbier than from this
lively little eaferestaurant, where the
chairs and tables stand out on the
boulevard, and extendround the cor-

ing stream, the denizens of the distinct
pass and repass—merry bands of
bearded students off to their dinner at
their own particular little brasserie,
or on their way to the Buller.

CHAPTER XX.
At the Hotel d'Eciair.
M. Brieux stroked his pointed beard

Silas Berwick.
"Oh, yes, My 'friend, I was gladto
get your telegram. 1 cannot forget
how you, as you say, 'eared my bacon'
over the Boninet &Main I have ever
since longed for the time when I could
in some way repay the debt."
Berwick bowed.
"Yes," went on the polios official,
"your message came just in time;
your men, or whom I think are they,
arrived Friday morning—that is,
yesterday. I am sorry to eay ,that
env man bits let them slip him."
'"Then they aro lost again?" Ber-
wick's voice showed a keen disap-
pointment
M. Brieux gave an expressive sbrug
of the shouldere.
"I dkinot say that, m'sien; it is
but momentary. They put up kkt the
little Hetet &Eclair, over um the
Luxembourg. Their luggage is. still
there and the proprietress says they
will retuen. We will go there te-

visitors in. • .
They entered between the trees in
big green tubs and were mit by the
piagerietress, who, on recognizing M.
Brim:, smiled her weloome. Like all
Frenchwomen ef her ..class, she was a
creature of the emotions, and the visit'
of/, the distinguished :policeman to her
hotel evidently pleased her. There
would be so much to talk of to her
patrons who would soon be straggling
in to take their dejeuner at the tables
which showed their line of white -
clothed centimee to the back of the
rootm between the lines of faded mir-
rors.
She required but little persuasion to
tell all she knew of the movements of
her pleas. Monsieur was right—
yes—they haci arrived at ten o'clock;
ebe remembered the time—yes—for
was it not at that moment that Jules
had broken the big soup-tureen?—
tee frame it had test at the new
china shop in the Rue Richelieu.
Her guests? Ah—yes—their 1u.g-
gage had been delivered an hour later,
and an hour after that they had left
the hotel, using the door that led out
into the little impasse. They had
taken a bottle of wiee—yesea-at the
gaol alr of the evening. From within
the cafe the small orchestra was play-
ing a popular waltz, and the melody
reached them in little snatches, mixed
with the clatter of crockery and the
laughter of the diners. There was
little traffic on the !boulevard, save
the gigantic double -decked steam -
trams and. taxis and flames bearing
their patrons Off to their pleasures.
Beyond the railings opposite, the trees
of the Gardeno trade a grey -green sil-
houette against the summer 'sky.
There were dark little openings
over the way, too—tortuous, narrow,
ill -lighted streets—and. a few doers: up
one of these the men could see 'the
corner windows of the Hotel d'Eclair,
and they fell again to the eternal dis-
cussion on what it could be that had
taken their quarry away from Paris
so. soon after their arrival—that was,
preestuning that they had left Paris.
That there was something further
in the Dartigny inheritance than Rob-
ert was acquainted with was obviou.s.
He clad not think for one minute that
the chest had contained enough valu-
ables to warrant the stIrn.cet Monte
Cristo -like existence which Baptiste
Dartin had led at Addenbury Towers.
Moreover, the men had been so
reticent in .speaking of his inheritance
faet, the only time Robert .re-
membered his mentioning it was that
night at the Empire when he had pre-
sented the solicitor with the neck -lege,
and then, it was only to remark on its
comparatively little value.
"What made them take that round-
about way of getting here, Berwick?
They 'could have crossed quite safely
by.the ordinary route.'
Silas Bervaick looked up as Baxenter
spoke. .
"Maybe they're known on the. orde-
nary routesand were afraidof leav-
ing a trail. Again, there is another
reason—that is, their luggage. No
doubt &slain knows a way through
where ksearehing is not so strict as the
way we eame; those bags were very
heavy."
"But there are customs everywhere,
surely?"
"Of eourse there are; but euppose

zen, it mines to me that one who
knows the ropes mend sneak into Paris
—you'll remember that Brieux's man
said they arrived without luggage at
the station, and our friendly madame
says it arrived softer they did. You
may be sure those bags passed no
customs—" '
The speaker broke off suddenly and
gripped Rohnetas .erm.
"Isn't that one of them—look, get -
tine out of the flame?"
Robert gave one glance in the di-
rection pointed out, and seized a file
of Le Mathand held it up before his
face while he spoke to l3erwick. It was
only a few words:
"Haveiten,by all that's holy!".

It 'MS already late when Haverton
arrived, and the .crowds that had come
down from the Buller were thinning.
The boulevards were becoming less
crowdeodl and the tired waiters were
yawning sleepily behind the greet
plate 'glass windows. Intermittent
bursts of merriment came from belat-
eti parties at their cards, and Robert
noticed that the members of the little
orchestra were putting away their in-
etruments,
Still the figure at the far table
showed no signs of leaving. Still he
'sat :there twirling the glees, Ms eyes
fixed moodily before him. A waiter
who had been hovering near 'approach-
ed him, ostentatiously polishing the
inku:ble top of the table next to him
and tipping up the vacant chaies, A
shadow fell across the table as part of
the lights within the cafe were switch-
ed off.
It seemed to the watching men as
though Haverton lead been asleep. He
started up and stared dazedly at the
waiter, then stood up with a slight
shiver. He took a coin from his waist
'coat pocket and passed it to the man
then, not waiting for any change, he
buttoned up his coat, and, without a
glance at the few stragglers still at
the babies, turned toward the boule-
vard.
A woman standing at the little pas-
sage between the chairs put out a
hand as he passed, but he shook her
off with an oath and hurried across
the road. The men watched him as
the narrow street which held the Hotel
d'Eelair swallowed him up.
A moment later they were following
him. Once over the road, they kept
well in the shadow of the houses; but
their caution was unnecessary, the
num before them looking neither to
right or lett, but making straight for
the Hotel el'Eclair, which was almost
in darkness. After a little delay the
door was 'opened and he entered.
At the same moment a man emerg-
ed from the shadow of a doorway op-
posite and hurried to the corner. Here
he spoke a word to another man, who
went off toward the Seine at a run.
The first man, whom Robert recogniz-
ed as the assistant M. Brieux had put
en watch, walked slowly back, and,
tapping at the door of the hotel, was
in his turn admitted.
Berwick paused and drew Baxenter,
who showed a disposition to enter also,
into the dark doorway which the
watcher had vacated. From its depth
they watched the windows of the room
they had visited that morning. They
saw the glass doors pealed open, and
the figure of Eddie Haverton as he
leant over the little balcony, then a
light appeared, and the red curtains
were half drawn.
On the ceiling they could see the
gigantic shades,/ as • the occupant of
the room moved about, and noticed
that it was thrown by a light that was
'at some low level—from a candle
placed on the floor, perhaps, or a chair
seat.
In about a quartet of an hour the
light was extinguished, and Robert

Pirates b 1921.
Are the days of Captain 11111 over?
It BOOMS not. Within the last few
months five ships have mysteriously

Ing apparently disappeared off Cane

nested that pirates are afloat in the

This may or mc.y not bo true, but
there is further evidence to support
the theory. The schooner Carroll

The Iden that pirates aro afloat on

Salads.
It is said that no one can make a
good salad who does not love to cook.
In any case, the woman betrays her
el:ill in cookery by the quantity of
salads which she serves.
Though no modern dinner is com-
plete without a salad, only fruit and.
vegetable salads should evec appear
on the dinner table. The reason is
that the heavier salads are too hearty
with a meat course. But for the light-
er meals, where no meat a,ppears, fish
or meat salads will furnish what the
lighter meal would otherwise lack. So
meat ,and fish salads are desirable for
luncheon .or supper or high tea dishes.
If a French dresshsg is to be used,
it is better to prepare it at the table,
because such a salad roust be eaten
a o soon as it is mixed. There•eheuld
