would not dare swerve.
The first empty bottle broke to
one side, the second aquarely be
tween the front wheels. He grasped !
the first full bottle by the neck alid
felt that its weight promised more
aceu\ <v, but ducked before attempt
ing tc , now it as a voile y of shots
sought Jr discourage him. At the)
firs’".he rose and cast the bot

pleytj'tn grenade throwing. it
crashed fairly beneath the nearer
forward wheel of the gray car, but
without effect. The lead had been
abridged to thi-ty yards; in two min
utes more it woul dbe nothing.
The fotv-ih bottle went wild, but
of the offside wheel and its jagged
the fifth exploded six inches in front ’
fragments ripped out the heart of
the tire. On the instant of the ac- I
eompanying blow-out the gray j
car shied like a frightened horse and
swerved off the road hurtling head
long into a clump of trees. The
fu y-eqic-'.it crash was like, the de
tonation of a great bomb. Deep
shadows masked that tragedy be- ,
neath the trees. Lanyard saw the
beam of the Icadlights lift and drill
perpendicularly into the zenith
nefore it was blacked out.
He turne dand yelled in the ear of
Jules: “Slow down! Take your time! :
They’ve quit!’’
Liane Delorme rose from her
cramped position on the floor.
"What has become of them?’’
Lanyard offered a vague gesture.
“ . . tried to climb a tree,” he re
plied wearily, and dropping back on
the rear seat began to worry the
cork out of the last pint bottle of
champagne.
He reckoned he had earned a
drink if anybody ever had.
CHAPTER XVIII.
Buccaneering a la Mode
Ten minute.: after their arrival
in Cherbourg, Liane, Lanyard and
Jules had darted up a gang-plank to
the main deck of a small steam vessel,
excessively neat and smart.
Lanyard stopped short with his
hand on the mahogany handrail.
“I say, Liane! haven't we stum-)
bled into.the wrong pew? This is a ;
private yacht.’’
“It is the little ship of a dear
friend, monsieur, who generously
permits. . . But patience! very soon
you shall know.”
A door had opened in the after par
tition, two men had entered. Above

a lank, well-poised bod! clothed in
tie white tunic and trousers of a
ship’s officer, he recognized the
tragicomic 'nasi; of the soi-distant
Mr. Whitaker Monk. At his shoul
der shone the bland intelligent
countenance of Mr. Phinuit.
From this last Lanyard received
a good natured nod, while Monk pro
ceeded directly to Liane Delorme
and bowed low ever the hand which
she languidly lifted to be saluted.
“My dear friend!’’ he said in his
sonorous voice. “In another hour I
should have, begun to grow anxious
about you”
“You would have had good reason,
monsieur. It is not two hours since
one has escaped death—and that for
the second r.me in a single day—by
the slenderest margin, and thanks
solely to this gentleman here."
Monk consented to see Lanyard,
and immediately ottered him a pro
found salute, which was punctilious
ly returned. His eyebrows mounted
to the roots of his hair.
"Ah! that good Monsieur Duche
min.”
’But no!” Liane laughed. “It is
true, the resemblance is striking; if
I aul would consent to grow a beard,
it would be extraordinary. But
permit me, Captain Monk, to pre
sent my brother, Paul Delorme.”
"Your brother, mademoiselle?”
The educated eyebrows expressed
any number of emotions. Monk’s
hand was cordially extended.. "But
1 am enchanted, Monsieur Delorme,
to welcome on board the Sybarite
the brother ol your charming sister.”
Lanyard resigned limp fingers to
his clasp.
"And most public-spirited of you,
1111 «»'<•, Captain Monk .. . An
other how. Lanyard fipoked to
Liane: “Forgive me, if I seem con-
Hise.l, but I thought you told me
Alistei Whitaker Monk h.:id sailed
for America a week ago.”
“And so he did,” the captafn'
agreed blandly. "Mr. Monk, the
owner, is nty first cousin. You sec
in me merely the skipper of my
wealthy kinsman’s yacht.”
And your two names arc the
JULES OPENED THE EXHAUST,
same yours and your cousin’s?
You’re both Whitaker Monks?”
“It is a favorite name in our
family, monsieur.”
Lanyard wagged his head in sol
emn admiration.
That makes it all so clear!”
‘Well, anyway, I’m glad to meet
you to your hare face,” said Monk.
“And now suppose we adjourn to
the skipper’s quarters, where we
can improve one another’s acquaint
ance.”
Lanyard remarked that there were
places laid for four. He had ben
expected, then. Neither Monk nor
r THE AMERICUS TIMES RECORDER.
Phinuit had betrayed the least sur
: prise on seeing Lanyard: and Phinuit
■ had not even troubled to recognize
the fiction which Liane had uttered
■ i in accounting for him.
: j Liane had got her second wind
and was playing variations on the
I theme of the famous six bottles of
champagne. Lanyard lounged in
• i his easy chair and let his bored
i | thoughts wander.
Lanyard finally broke in: "Who is
Dupont, and why?”
“If you’re asking me,” Monk re
plied, "I’ll tay—going- on mademoi
. clle’s story—Monsieur Dupont is by
now a ghost.”
"One would he glad to be sure of
. that,” Lanyard murmured.
"But all this begs my question,”
Lanyard objected. "Who is Dupont,
and why?”
"1 think I can answer that ques
' j tion, monsieur.' This was Liane
' Delorme.
. i "1 recognized him this morning,
i when you were struggling with him.
. His name is Popinot.”
"There was a Popinot in Paris in
imy day; they nicknamed him the
; : Prince of the Apaches. But he was
Jan older man, and died by the
guillotine. This Popinot wh» calls
, himself Dupont, then, must be his
• ; son.”
• ‘‘That is true, monsieur."
I “AH of which brings us to the sec-
• ond pari of my question, Liane: Why
Dupont?”
Liane shrugged and studied her
' bedizened fingers. The heavy black
brows cireumfixed Monk’s eyes, and
he drew down the corners of his
I wide mouth. Phinuit fixed an
amused gaze on a distant corner of
thy room and chewed his cigar.
“Why did Dupont—or Popinot,”
• Lanyard persisted —“murder de
I Lorgnes? Why did he triy to mur
i dei' Mademoiselle Delorme? Why
: urd he sock fco prevent our reaching
t GherbtJurg?” *
'“(live you three guesses,” Phinuit
Siffered amiably. .“But I warn you if
• you use more than one you'll for-
I feit my respect fopever.”
; “You admit, then, you have the
i jewels?"
. "Why not?” Phinuit inquired
! coolly. “We took trouble enough

I to get them, don’t you think? Y'ou’re
taking trouble enough to get them
away from us, aren't you? You
don’t want us to think you so stupid
as to be wasting your time, do
you?”
His imperturbale effrontery was
so amusing that Lanyard laughed
i outright, Then, turning to Liane,
h<- offered 1 v grateful inclination
of the head.
"Mademoiselle, you have kept your
i promise. Many thanks.”
"Hello!” cried Phinuit. "What
I promise'.”'
“Monsieur Lanyard desired a
favor of Tie,” Liane explained, her
i good humor r< i<> . !. "in return for
I saving me from assassination by
j Popinot this morning, he begged me
to help him find the jewels of
Madame de Montalais.”
