A random arrow often hit* where a well
directed ahot fails. “A certain man drew a
bow at a venture and* smote the King be
tween the joints of his harness.” And this
bow, drawn at a venture, sped its arrow
straight to the mark, which was Louvait
and Leroi.
Those two worthies, in their eagerness to
get information relative to the mysterious
ease, were in the habit of perusing all the
prominent dailies. They both read the fore
going item, and immediately arrived at the
conclusion that it furnished the long-desired,
genuine due.
Putting this and that together, they made
keen and untiring researches, and each
separately arrived at the second conclusion
that no theory was so reasonable as the one
that Louvait, about a month previously, had
“aye! aye! MR. FAIRFAX.”
written out and sent in to the head of the
police department of the government-a
theory that Leroi by dint of patient toil had
evolved some time later. To Louvait it had
come as an inspiration. But whatever the
manner in which it arrived, conviction re
mained with both. Each knew that ho pos
sessed the right clue, and an angel from
Heaven could not have persuaded him to the
contrary.
A steamer was to sail from Havre the
very next day. Louvait resolved to risk all
and to take passage upon her. His assistant
was given sole charge of affairs during his
master’s absence.
Louvait went to the steamship agent, and
about to enter a fictitious name upon
the passenger list, when hi3 attention was
attracted by the previous name-“ Jacques
Larue.” He instantly recognized the hand
writing, disguised as it was. It was the
alias of his rival, Jean Leroi, who, in thus
getting ahead of him, had “bitten off hi3
own nose.”
Louvait looked up reflectively, apparently
debating the pros and cons of some question
in his mind, but in reality carefully scanning
all the passengers.
Not twenty feet from him stood a tall,
muscular individual observing him in an
apparently nonchalant manner. He was
smoking a eigarqfcte and carelessly leaning
against a pile of baggage. Louvait instant
ly recognized Leroi in an exceedingly clever
disguise. He saw, too, that the latter had
penetrated his own disguise. Glancing back
at the sheet of paper before him, he reflect
ed, but only for a moment.
A steamer of the White Star line was ad
vertised to leave Liverpool late the follow
ing afternoon. She was known as one of
tho fleetest of Atlantic boats, and, even if a
day later in her start, would undoubtedly
overtake and pass the French vessel.
Laying tho pen down, he asked, in a voice
lowered apparently that none should hear
him, yet so distinct that the keen ear of Le
roi could not fail to catch it :
“When docs your next steamer go?”
“Next Saturday.”
“I will go then, instead of to-day. Hero is
the money for my passage.”
Forthwith ho proceeded to register his
name in "he list of Saturday’s passen
gers.
With an absolutely expressionless face,
and softly whistling to himself, he went out,
casting a seemingly careless glance at Le
roi. That individual was deceived and could
scarcely restrain a look of triumph.
Au hour later the steamer sailed, and tho
deceived Lerqi had the satisfaction of see
ing his great rival, Jean Louvait, left be
hind upon the docks—just as that guileless
creature took good care that he should.
Now for Liverpool! Just twenty six
hours behind the Ville de Brest, the Ger
manic steamed out of Liverpool harbor with
Monsieur Jean Louvait among her passen
gers.
While those events had been going on,
Mr. Nebbitt was on the alert. Contrary to
his expectations, Fairfax had actually ab
ducted the Princess. Now that his young
friend had been 90 successful in the be
ginning of his hair-brained scheme, he was
anxious that tho denouement should be fully
as successful. Furthermore ? Lis own un
tarnished reputation was at stake.
He knew well that both Louvait and Leroi
suspected him of complicity in the affair.
Both men had been imprudent enough to
visit him in . their official capacity with re
gard to the matter. And he knew them to be
men of immense resources, energy and dis
crimination, and, accordingly, he took care
to post himself as muuh as possible upon
. their doings. . ,
Latterly they had both been unusually
quiet. Nebbitt suspected mischief.
One morning ho came across a paragraph
in a London paper nearly eight days old. It
was the item from the pen of the American
correspondent. He read it, and knew im
mediately what it meant. It meant that Le
roi and Louvait were alreadv on their way
to America.
Putting himself in instant communication
with the police authorities at St. Malo and at
St. Brieux. he learned from tho former that
Louvait was “absent, and might not be back
for weeks.” From St. Brieux came a simi
lar response as regards Leroi.
This, then, explains the fact of Leroi and
Louvait being on their way to New York,
and also of Sir. Nebbitt’s sudden and imper
ative telegram to his captain.
Let us hear the adventures of these two
enterprising Frenchmen.
The Germanic arrived in New York har
bor early one afternoon. As she was steam
ing up the bay another vessel, flying the
French flag, followed a sh rt distance be
hind her. Louvait scanned the vessel
carefully through a pair of powerful field
glasses. It was the Ville de Brest, and
among her passengers he distinguished the
form of his rival, Leroi.
Ah! said he grimly to himself, “you are
clever, my friend, but I have beaten you this
time.”
Nevertheless, he was too cautious to pre
sume upon Leroi’s ignorance of his presence
in America. Jean Leroi invariably took
every conceivable precaution to ensure suc
cess, and none better than Jean Louvait
knew this.
He studied tho Railway Guide Book. This
told him that the only proper route to Bar
Harbor wtfs via the Fall River line from
New York to Boston; thence by way of
either the Eastern or Western Division of
the Boston A Maine railroad to Portland,
Me., where he would be transferred to the
Maine Central railroad, which route would
lead him directly to Bar Harbor.
One of the Fall River steamers left New
York at S:JO p. m., another at 6:15 p. m.
Leroi’s extreme caution he knew would
lead that man to sail by the former. Could
he himself only take the latter, there would
be just time to run down to the dock where
the “Namovna” was moored, and there
make a few investigations.
Again he inspected the Railway Guide.
Passengers by the first boat were due in
Boston at (>:SO the next morning ; those by
the second at 9:00 a. m.—just fifteen min
utes before the famous “Vestibule” train
left for Bar Harbor.
“Well* f et Leroi take the first boat, if ho
wants to. I’ll risk myself by the next, and
get there in plenty of time.”
W ith that ho hastened to view the yacht.
CHAPTER XXVI.
lOW, OK NfVER!
But the bird had flown—the “Namovna”
gone—“sailed early this morning, very sud
dingly,” said an official of the pier whero
she lay.
“Where did she go?”
“Dunno, but I think the cap’n said as how
he w’us goin’ back to France.”
“Who sailed by her?”
“No one, ’ceptin’ the officers and crew.”
“Are you sure there were no passengers
on board—no lady, for instance?”
“Sure? I know it. Me or Jack’s around
here mos’ all the time, ’n we’d a-seen any
body else a-goin’ off.”
Sailed for France! Louvait was worried.
This turn in affairs was unexpected, and
very unpleasant to the detective.
Would the yacht touch at Bar Harbor!
and take away the Princq&t wid Fairfax f
“However* Leroi Knows u thing about
this. I'm another point ahead of him 1”
From Portland aU Bar Harbor passengers
take the ears: of the Maine Central railroad.
The remainder of the joomey must be ac
complished by the rivals in company.
“If Leroi once suspects that I am with him
he will use every means, fair or foul, to hold
me back,,” reasoned Louvait.
Now Jean was a very clever fellow and
well versed in mechanics. So he hastened
to the eager, panting engine in waiting and
informed the engineer that he #as ex
engineer of a French line and was very
anxious to observe the workings of Ameri
can locomotives.
“Certainly,” said the other, after a hasty
glance had satisfied him that the stranger
was not an impostor. “It’s against thp
rules, you know. But jump right up and
ride with us.”
Leroi meanwhile arrived, and unsus
piciously took his seat in the cars, congratu
lating himself upon his apparent good for
tune.
The train was what is now famous as the
“Vestibule Express,” which accomplishes
the run from Boston to Bar Harbor in less
than eight hours and three-quarters.
As often as the engines were changed,
each engineer introduced Louvait to bis
successor.
Sometimes the passengers embraced the
opportunity to stretch their tired limbs in a
short promenade up and down the platform.
Among those who once inspected the engine
was Leroi, who cast a careless glance at the
cab in which sat Louvait crouching down
in a corner and pretending to tie his shoe
laces.
Ere arriving at Waterville, on the Maine
Central road, this little Napoleon had con
ceived a most brilliant idea. Learning that
the train made but one stop between that
city and Mt. Desert Ferry, at Bangor, he
dispatched a telegram reading as follows:
“To Amos Merrill, Chief of Police, Ban
gor, Me.
“ Arrest forger on Vestibule express.
Tall, big form, dark suit, full, false light
beard and moustache; sharp blue eye,
brown overcoat, light color and weight;
ruby ring, little finger left hand. Hold for
further directions—
“ Andrew Marvell,Chief Police, Portland.”
With this he rushed into the telegraph
office, just ere the conductor shouted: “All
aboard!” and, flinging down a two-dollar
bill, said to the operator, earnestly:
“Send at once and be sure to date it Port
land. Can’t stop to explain now: but do i 't
fail to hea-1 it Portland.”
Pie was off like a shot, and soon was on
the engine again, Leroi being none the
wiser.
The telegram sped and so did the express,
and Jean Louvait shortly afterwards was
delighted to see a couple of Bangor police
men, powerful fellows, board the cars, and
emerge a moment later with his great rival,
Jean Leroi. under arrest.
The latter was highly enraged and en
deavored to explain matters, but to no avail.
There was nothing to do but submit. This
RE ENDEAVORED TO EXPLAIN.
he did, finally, with a very poor grace,
sullenly watching the train roll out of the
depot.
Louvait knew well that so clever a fellow
could not fail to clear himself, and in a vary
short time, too.
“Then he'll hire an engine and go flying
down to the Terminus. I know that he can’t
retaliate upon me in the same way—at least,
between here and the Ferry—because we
make no stops. The Ferry’s a mere colles
tion of railroad houses, and there are no
policemen there. The only place where he
can stop me is Bar Harbor itself, and if 1
can only get within swimming distance of
the island, 111 defy all law and policemen.
So, I guess, I’m all right.”
At the Ferry lay the elegant transfer
steamer Sappho. She had lately been fur
nished with anew propeller-wheel and was
speedier than ever.
Going into the engine-room, Louvait en
gaged the engineer in conversation.
“What time are you due at Bar Har
bor?”
“Five fifty-five.”
“Five fifty-five, eh? That’s a run of near
ly forty minutes. What time could you do
it in if you let on all steam?”
“Oh, about twenty-nine minutes.”
“I don’t believe it. See here, I’ve hoard a
great deal about this Sappho, and have come
here to look at her. If she’s what thsy any
she is, I’m going to build one like her. No*r
here’* a flve-doUar biJL If you make
Bar Harbor m twenty-nine minutes from
the time we leave, this i* your*.”
Precisely at 5:40 p. m„ twenty-five min
utes after leaving the Ferry, the Sappho
touched the wharf at Bar Harbor, and Lou
vait was five dollars poorer.
During this time Jean Leroi had been
achieving wonders at Bangor. He had in
duced his captors to make immediate in
quiries about him. A telegram from Port
land revealing tho true state of affairs, the
Bangor officials realizing that they and
their prisoner were the victims of a cruel
joke, not only set the latter at liberty, but
used every effort to remedy the evil un
wittingly done to him.
Mr. Payton Tucker, superintendent of the
road, chanced to be at Bangor. For a mere
nominal sum he procured Leroi one of the
fleetest passenger engines on the Mt.
Desert branch.
“But,” inquired Leroi, “how can I get
across the Ferry? The transfer ateamer
will uot, of course, wait for me.”
“Oh, that’s easy enough,” said Mr.
Tuoker. “Of course, as you say, I can’t
hold the Sappho from her regular time. But
we’ve another small boat there which makes
trips to neighboring mainland villages. I’ve
telegraphed her to wait and take you
across. I don’t think you’ll be over a half
hour behind the Sappho in arriving.”
While awaiting the arrival of his engine,
Louvait inspected the telegram which had
caused his arrest. It was dated Portland.
Now “Portland” had positively denied send
ing any such message.
Who did send it, then?
Just here “Waterville,” who had accidents
ally gotten an inkling of the conversation
between “Bangor” and “Portland,” clicked
out that he had sent it.
“Where did you get it?” Inquired “Ban
gor.”
“Man riding on Vestibule express gave
It to me.’’
“Describe him.”
“Can’t. I was behind grating, writing.
Ban in and out before I could see him.”
Leroi reflected a moment.
“If it is Louvait, he wasn’t on the cars,
therefore he must have been on the engine.
Where’s the engineer who brought the train
fro Waterville?”
“Right outside here oiling up his en
gine.”
“Call him in T please.”
