Ainsley overhears a man posing as a Russian prince offer the use of his hotel apartment to a young Eng- lishman and his American bride, who have lost all their money at roulette. Later the prince brings hotel attend- ants to the apartment, claiming that the young Englishman has stolen hig keys. The prince offers to free the Englishman if he,is allowed to take the young bride on a motor trip. This brings on a fight. Later the prince dismisses the charge. Ainsley won- ders what is the nature of the Prince’s game. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY For I had no more desire to face @ court, even in the role of witness, than, I suspected, the Prince had tot stand before a judge as complainant. And if I offered testimony in support of young Beresford, such a plot was so flagrant, so vicious, that not even the Monegasques, willing to wink their eyes at almost any offense, if Id be thus averted, could ignore this. The French, for all that is written about their morals, have a respect for wifehood. They would insist that the Prince be brought to trial for conspiracy, and I would have to testify in court. So, while I had no intention of per- mitting Beresford to be deported, under circumstances that would for- ever stain his name, I waited. There might be anly one way of skinnigg this particular polecat, but I sus- pected that there might be another. And so, two hours later, when all the hotel save, probably young Beres- ford, slept, I entered the Prince's rooms. — Like the cat which walks alone, 1 walked silently. Also my movements were quiet, I picked the lock with- out difficulty, and passed through the door, ¥ found myself in a liv-| ing-room, at the far side of which was an open door, through which 1 heard snores. I tiptoed to it, peered through and entered the bedroom. A night-light was burning, and by its ys I could distinguish the screen behind which, I had heard the Princo tell Beresford, was a trunk. Now, that trunk had unquestionably con- tained a cash-box. But if it had containgd anything else of value, would the Prince have rashly hand-|s ed the Englishman his keys? If, for instance, the trunk had contained evidence which would indicate that its owner possessed unprincely ha- bits, would the Prince have given up the keys? This action of mine was based on| the theory, none too logically ac- quired, that the Prince was a crim- inal. Unless I should find proof in support of my theory, my nocturnal visit would be not merely dangerous but useless. And it was silly to look for evidence in the trunk. If the Prince was what I thought, him to be, proof in support of my be- lief would be found only, upon his person. And it {s a difficulf thing to search a sleeping man withgut awak- ening him. Nevertheless I did i And having done so, I raggedly clip- ped from his great black beard tuft Of hipi precious whiskers, ‘Thot I returned to my room. Three minutes later I had broken {wo chairs, overturned a dress able, and smashed a pane of glass in the window. Also, I had shouted at the top of my lungs, and had aroused the valet de chambre who slept in a cubbyhole at the end of the corridor. He had aroused. the night-clerks, and to these. latter and to the porters who accompanied them, I poured forth my tale of nocturnal crime, “L_ was awakened by the sound of footsteps. I saw a hige figure by the side of my bed. I attacked him. We fayght. Behold, messicurs, the congition of my room.” I gesticulat- ed wildly, indicating the damage which I had just committed. “But it is ougrageous, monsieur,” cried one of the clerks, “That such a thing should happen in the Hotel de Paris is almost incredible. Was anything taken from Monsieur?” “I doubt it,” I replied, “but I will see,” I felt in the pocket of my din- ner jacket. “My purse,” I crjed, “with fifteen mille not&s, a thousand- frane plaque, and an express check for a thousand dollars.” “Could Monsieur identify thief.” T looked at the clerk who put the question. Ijopened my hand... Upon my palm lay a tuft of black whis- kers. ‘I tore these from hig face in our struggle,” I declared. “ah!” they cried in, unison, I, glanced down upon the floor. Something caught my eye. “Look!” I cried. 4 porter picked up the golden ob- ject. It was a pencil, richly chased. I bent over and from the floor picked up a visiting card, torn and crushed Dramatically 1 smootfed.it, and read the;name, “ ‘Prince .Meerkovst.’”* “The thief's names’. I. exclaimed. “Prince Meerkpvst!" cried one of the clerks. .The, others echoed his name. The gecond clerk agsymed an air, of great shrewdness, . “That is why, a thief himself, he wag so lenient to the Englishman,” he said, “Ah, the canaille! We shall go-to him!” the eee We did, opening up his door with a pags-key. He sat up in bed, amaz- ed at the intrusion, and at first di dainful :of our charges, But’ whe: found underneath his. pillow, where T had planted it a quarter of an hour earlier, my purse, his scornful dis- @ain gave.way 4 * “4 the mirror and note the gap in his| If) bristling whiskers, and also asked him to observe the hirsute trophy which I was supposed to have torn from his face, fear began to give w to panic. And the gold pencil with the broken links which fitted to his watch-chain, and his visiting card, were final proofs calculated, he was well aware, to convince any court in| the world. For a moment he must have be- lieVed that he had keen walking in| his sleep; but suddenly his hands felt at his waist, where, I had reason to know, he wore a money-belt. “I am innocent,” he cried. “I am the victim of a plot. It is I who have been robbed!” He was standing beside his bed, Pajama-clad. I shouldered my way in front of the others, and stared him in the eye. “Monsieur states that it is he who has been robbed,” I said softly. “May T ask Monsieur of what?” His mouth opened; but words did not come from it for a moment. For nearly half a minute, wide-mouthed, he stared at me. And if he had looked venomously at Beresford ear- licr tonight, his regard of the young Englishman had been friendly as compared with the glance he me. | Then he replied: “Of nothing, monsieur.” 4 “We shall take him at once to the jail,” cried the clerk. “Two robber- jes in the same night in this hotel! But this thief shall not go free!” “Wait,” I told them, raising hand in protest, I turned to Prince. “One forgives a repentant sinner,” I told him. I spoke in English. “You are a thief caught practically in the act. Nothing can save your name. But you can save your skin. If you will state to these gentlemen the truth about Monsicur Beresford’s en- trance into your room, I, who have recovered the property which you stole from me, will forget the mat- ter.” | He stared at me. “So? Some day, | monsicur, we shall meet again.” | “But not at Monte Carlo,” I told) him. I looked at my watch. “It is now four o'clock, At four-thirty the de luxe from Rome stops. here en foute to Paris, If you take that train, after having confessed your vile plot, the matter is ended.” Monsieur is a great detective,” he sneered, “Set a thief to catch a thief—’” 4 “I am waiting for your answer,” I} interrunted.him sternly. And there could only be one an- cepted. He withdrew his nst Beresford,-packed his and took the train de luxe. my the I left an order to be called seven. I wished to take no ch of missing the Beresfords, ‘True, the young man was cleared of the charge of crime, but in his humilia- tion at being unable to pay his bill, he might slip quietly away. And at eight I knocked upon his door. The management had already apol- ogized for last night's contretemps, Dut it was « harassed-looking youth that admitted me to the apartment. “{ am an older man than — you,” I told him, “and wish the privilege of age.” His wife laughed. “You're not a day over thirty,” she said. 1 frowned at her. “Nevertheless, that ig old enough for my. purpose, which is to extract from you -young- sters a promise that you will never gamble again, In return for that promise I make you a present of ten thousand francs, Some day, you will see some unfortunate whom a few hundred dollars will save from mis- ery. Give him the few hundred, and consider paid, your debt to me.” He was proud; but she—bless her heart!—had common sense. She bade him take the money, then looked at me. “We can’t thank you. You've clear- ed Jack’s reputation, and you are en- abling us ‘to return to England. think, Mr. Ainsley, that you are the finest man we know." And I think that those words of hers were a source of more gratifica- tion to me than even the sight of the pearl necklace of the Baronpe @Esterelle. What? But of course! In the! Prince’s money belt. That was why he. cried that he had heen robbed. And it was also why, when I asked him of what he had been robbed, he had replied, “Of ngthing.” Even rage against me could not blind him to the fact that if he ac- cused, me of stealing the necklace from him, he wauld convict ‘himself of having stolen it from the Baronne. It was also why he had said: “ ‘Set a thief to catch a thiéf.’” i Naturally, he would say that, A common thief cannot appreciate an artist. ne | LITTLE JOE | oe TS BEEN. A LONG | TIME.
