The first empty bottle broke to one side, the second aquarely be tween the front wheels.

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.

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 ALLISON UNDERTAKING CO.

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.” i 1— Irsnized Yaasi Brings Marvelous Beady S?
