This matter of “The Scorpion” com | menced with the visit to Paris, incoge! nito, of the Grand Duke Ivan, that famous soldier of whom so much was | expected, and because I bad made! myself responsible for hia safety! during the time that he remained in the French capital, struck up a friendship with one Casimir, the} grand duke's valet. Nothing is sacred to a valet, and from Cusimir I counted upon learning the real reason which had led this nobleman to visit Paria, | I anticipated finding a woman in| the case—and I was not wrong. Yes, there was a woman, and she was beautiful. | From the good fellow Casimir 1/ learned that a certain dancer appear. | ing at one of our theatres had wrtt ten to the grand duke craving the| honor of his autograph—and encios ing her photograph. One week later the autograph ar- rived—attached to an invitation to/ dine with the grand duke at his hotel | in Parts. Yes—he had come to Paris. ‘The confidences of Casimir inter ested me in more ways than one. In the first place I had particular reasons for suspecting anyone whe sought to obtain access to the grand dyke. And tn the second place I had suspicions of Zara e+Khala Yes—eo she called herself—Zara el Khala, In the character of a vaudeville agent I called at the Montmartre) theatre and wag informed by the) management that Zara el-Khala re ceived no visitors, professional or otherwise. I went away, but returned | on the following night, and from a) hiding place 1 watched the dancer depart. She came out and a Hindu wear. ing @ chauffeur’s uniform opened the door of the car for her, and then, having arranged the rugs to her sat isfaction, moupted to the wheel and drove away. At the time that I made the ac quaintance of Casimir the grand duke had been in Paris for three days, and he was—according to my informant—"like a raging lion.” The} in Roman numerals, please? 8c.

I turned to the report dealing with the Hindu. He had hired @ room high up un-/ der the roof of an apartment house | where foreign waiters and others had their abodes. At night, after return-| ing from the theatre, he sometimes went out, and my agent had failed | to keep track of him on every occa: | sion that he had attempted pursuit. I detached the man who was watch. ing Casimir and instructed him to assist in tracing the movements of | the Hindu. Two nights later they tracked him to @ riverside cafe kept by a gigan- tic quadroon from Dominique. The Hindu remained for an hour in a small room in the cafe. There| was a telephone in this inner room| end my agent was of opinion that! the Indian had entered either to| make or to recetve a call. I caused the line to be tapped. On the following night the Hindu came back to the cafe, followed by one of my men. At about the same hour as before—according to the re- port—someone called up the estab. lishment, asking for “Miguel.” This was the conversation: “Miguel.” “Miguel speaks.” “Scorpion.

CHAPTER IT Altho I had met with an unforseen check, I’ had nevertheless learned three things. I had learned thgt Miguel the quadroon was possibly in league with the Hindu; that the Hin- du was called Chunda Lal; and that Chunda Lal received meswages from a third party who announced his presence by the word “Scorpion.” In the morning I met with the good Casimir at his favorite cafe. | He had just discovered that Zaral elKhala drove daily to the Bois de! Boulogne, alone, and that afternoon | the grand duke had determined to| accost her during her solitary walk. | I prepared myself in that part of the!
