e i Qriumphs of M.Jonquelle 134 by Merviiie DavissoN PosT © 19099 NEA Service THE MAN WITH THE STI VIN The great drawing room which Monsieur Jonquelle was empty. But it was not silent, A vague music ltke some welrd conception of Tachalkowsky, seemed to feel about the room, extending itself—a thing that crept blindly and disturbed as though it would escape from some- thing that followed it tirelessly and invisibly. It required the fingeérs of a master, on the board of a keyed instrument, to produce these sounds, ‘I'hey came from the room heyond, a second drawing room looking out on the Bois de Boulogne. p Monsieur Jonquelle had ot allowed the servant to announce him, “One {8 not permitted to dusturb Lord Valleys at ghis hour,” the serv- ant had said. Monsleur - Jonquelle’s card had added to the man's perplexity, One was also not permitted to deny an en- trance, anywhere, at any hour, to the Pretect of Police of Parls. 'he man had made a hopeless gesture, like one reslgning himself to the inevittable, Monsieur Jonquelle, after the door had closed behind pim, remained for some moments quite motionless in the eddy, as one might write it, of this strange, weird music, in which there was always a note of ruthless vigor— & note of barbaric vigor, harsh and determined. « Monsieur Jonq\Yn could not place through advanced the music in anyfremembered com- position. It wa§ not the work of any master that he knew. It was an Improvisation of the fingers that produced it. Presently he advanced into the room from which the music issued. Hegpaused a momeht in the doorway, watching the figure with white, nimble fingers hard as steel. Then e spoke. “Your pardon, monsieur,” said the Prefect of Police. ‘M am desolated 16 disturb you.” . The man at the piano sprang up and turned swiftly as though his body accomplished the act with a single motion. To the eye, the n was strange,. His shoulders were ¢ery broad and stooped; his face was wide, massive— ! the face of .a Slav. His hair was thick, close and heavy, but it was not long, and affected no manneriems. The man was very carefully dressed, after the Enghsh fashion, and with is well-bred restraint. But the im- pression he gave one -was decidedly niot English. It was that of a Siav adapted to an Engiish aspect. . The eyes'onc did ' not see. One rarely faw them. They secmed to be hidden by heavy lids, like cur- tained windows. And there was no expression in the face. The face was & mask It seemed always in repose. The big nose, the square, brutal. jaw, and the yide planes of the face, were ‘white as with a sort of pallor. Mon- sleur JonqueWe had a sudden, swift fmpression. The man before him was either the greatest criminal or the greatest genius that he had ever seen. Jonqueile had also a further im- pression o’ failure, He had meant to startle this man.and ohserve what followed.. = And he had startied him; but untrue to every experignce, there was nothing to.observe. The man’s face remaingd withowt an expression: he was hehind jt hidden from every eye. It wus & magk that could not be changed by the wilk of another. Monsieur Jong:el'e wondered in what manner it wou'd change at the will of the man that it so admirably ob- scured. It was a thing he was not interested to discover. It was on'v for an instant that the man was withont expression. Then he smiled and came forward inlo the room. 'The smile began with a queer ] lifting of the lip and extended vague-* ly with but @ slight changing of the man’s features. § His voice, when he spoke, was low, well modulated and composed. His manner was easy and rracious, “Ah!" he sald, “it is Montienr Jonquetle, the Prefect of PoMee of | Parie. 1 am honorel.” Monsieur Jonq! removed his he sat a yment his fingars liLeeme in tain embarrassment His hest geated, regarded Lim with the smile which appeared now a7 of background on the m face, The Prefect of tated. “Monsieur,” he said, “1 have ca Poli¢ agging pains when congestion i relieved Remember: most of the pain and inflammation of rheumatiem comes from concestion, Startthe congested blood flowing freely and even chronic, nagging pains crase, loes just thi it penetraie hout Tunhing— straight to the congested spot, It warms up, stimulates the circus lation.

Imaginable humiliation” Monsleur Jonquelle continued to hesitate. But he went on, “Monsieur,” he said, ‘out of ?Iortunue experience you will have come, T feel, with a certain opinion upon the problem which disturbs me. | And 1 am sure, monsieur, you wit not deny me the ‘benefit of that opinion." The Prefect of Police looked up like one who with hesitation requests a favor from another, Lord Valleys replied immediately. “I shall be very glad to give you my opinion upon any point in the matter,” he said. “Surely 1, have been spared little, 1 have had every experience of humiliation.. The criminal law of England is a bungling and cruel device. Those whq find themselves concerned with it, I'pro- foundly pity. “There is no consideration of fam- ily or cuiture that in any way miti- gates its severity or in any direction preserves one from odium, once the machinery of a criminal court of Eng- land is on its way. The experience of it is a horror to me, monsieur; but i fit can result in any benefit to you or to ‘another, I am willing to recall it. ‘What is the problem, monsieur, upon which you would have my opinion?” “It is this, monsieur,”” replied the Prefect of Police: “Is it your con- clusion, upon this experience of life, ttat there is a Providence of God that undertakes to adjust.the affairs of mankind—to assist the helpless and ! to acquit the innocent—or do you be- lieve that it is the intelligence of man that accomplishes this result? ¢ What is it, monsieur, moves behind the machinéry of the world—chance, luck, fortune or some sort of Provi- dence?” % Lord Valleys seemed to reflect while the Prefect of Police was speaking, and he now replied with little hesi- tation. “Chance, monsieur,” he sald, “is unquestionably the greatest and most mysterious factor in all human affairs; but it is modified and diverted by the human will. . . . Human intelligence, monsieur, and chance are the two factors.” The Prefect of Police continued to look down at his hands. “T have been of a different opinion, Lord Valleys,” he said. “I think there is an intention behind events, a | sort of will to justice, to righteousness, a sone has said. It is not chance as we usually define the word, and the human. will = csnnot circumyent it. . 1t is strange, as I see it, Lord Valleys. “This thing we call human intel- ligence seems to be able to aid, to as- sist, to advance the vague, immense, persistent impulse behind events, and to delay and to disturb it; but not ul- timately to defeat it.
