During Dil- lard’s. absence, when she was In charge, she went to the cellar where the masterpieces were stored. The flame of her candle ignited the cobwebs in the cellar and In a mo- ment the whole place was in flames, Go on With the Story. CHAPTER 111 “In terror, 1 let myself out of the flaming house,” the woman tinued. “As the basement of this house was without windows, the fire was not discovered until I had gotten entirely out of the neighborhood of the Fau- bourg St. Germain. “I was so Overcome, S0 nfimbgd by this incredible disaster that 1 did not stop to consider any result. I wished to escape from Paris—to conceal my- welf somewhere. I thought of this wvilla, but I.did not dare to teke the train from the Gare de Lyon. I traveled in a motor, winding south- ward from France, not directly, in order to confuse anyone who might end~~ or to follow.” 4 n she touched her mouth with’ the lace handkerchief There was a faint red stain on it. She looked at ghe stain, but without emotion, and presently added. ‘But I did not succed. Monsieur Dillard and Monsieur Jonquelle have been able to trail me here with an; equal facility, it seems, and within al- . ‘most the same period of time. I can not have managed my travel with dis- cretion.” ; She stopped abruptly. ent there was silence. = The two men beside’ her did not move, but their aspect changed. The Ameri- ean seemed to relax; his tense energy to ebb. The menace in him changed to ad aspect of disaster; on’ the con- trary,, there came into the picture of ‘Monsieur Jonquelle a certain tense- ness.

Monsicur Jonquelle arose, “Monsieur,” he sald, “this was no accident, T will show you," The villa had been long closed, Insects had had their will with it. He went over to the shutter, unhooked it, swung it a little open, removed ‘an cobweb, and came back to INSTANTLY HIS HANDS ' AND FEET' WERE SECURED, the border of the terrace. The American, amazed and in a profound interest, moved t@where he stood on the border of the terrace be- fore the woman in the chair. The woman alone seemed beyond any con- cern. She neither mdved nor spoke. She smiled vaguely, maintaining her posture of repose. The American could not conceal his profound in- terest. “th.'l accident!” he said. “What do you mean?" Monsieur Jonquelle held the web up in his fingers, strucii'a match, and touched the web with the flame, There was®no flash.” The filaments of the web shriveled a little under the heat. “I mean,” said Monsieur Jonquelle, “that a spider-web is not inflimmable, and, therefore, the basement of this house could not have taken fire from the flame of a candle.” After that two gvents seemed - to happen as though they were timed.

It was all like a flawless scene in a drama, rehearsed to a perfection of detail. In thirty seconds it was ended. “Monsieur,” sald the woman in the chair, ‘you are very clever, and your agents are perfect.” She did not move during the whole violence of the scene, and her voice was now il no whit changed.
