CHAPTER XV
21
When th Heavens Fall.
The chief of police entered the of
fice of Jachln Fell, high in the Malson
Blanche building, ut eight o'clock on
Friday evening. Mr. Fell glanced up
at him In surprise.
"Hello, chief I What's up?"
The officer gazed at him in astonish
ment. "What's up? Why, I cume around to
see you, of course I"
Jushln Fell smiled whimsically. "To
Bee me? Well, chief, tliut's good of
you; sit down and have a cigar, eh?
What's the matter? You look rather
taken aback."
"I am," said the other, bluntly.
"Didn't you expect me?"
"No," said Jachln Fell, halting sud
denly in the act of reuchlng for a
cigar, and turning his keen guze upon
the chief. "Expect you? No!"
"It's darned queer, then ! That chap
Oramont called me up about ten min
utes ago and Bald to get around here
as quick as 1 could muke It, thut you
wanted to see me."
"Gramontl" Jachln Fell frowned.
"Where's Ben Chacherre? Haven't you
found him yet?"
"Nary a sign of lilm, chief."
The door opened, and Henry Gra
mont appeared, his right hand band
aged and in a sling.
"Good evening, gentlemen 1" he said,
smiling.
"Here's Gramont, now!" exclaimed
Fell. "Did you call the chief over
here "
"I sure did," and Gramont came for
ward. "I wanted to see you two gen
tlemen together, and so arranged It.
Miss Ledanols is to be here at nine,
Fell?"
The little man nodded, his eyes In
tent upon Gramont. He noticed the
bandaged arm.
"Yes. Have you been hurt?"
"Slightly." Gramont brought up a
chair across the desk from Fell, and
sat down. He put his left hnnd In his
pocket and brought forth a document
which he handed to the chief of police.
"Cast your eye over that, chief, and
say nothing. You're here to listen for
the present. Here's something to cover
your case. Mr. Fell."
Gramont produced his uutomatlc
from the pocket of his coat, and laid
It on the desk before him. There was
a moment of startled silence. The of
ficer, looking over the paper, which
Gramont had handed him, seemed ,to
find it of sudden, Intense Interest.
"What means all this mystery and
melodramatic action, Gramont?" de
manded Jachln Fell, a slight sneer In
his eyes, his voice quite toneless.
"It means," said Gramont, regarding
him steadily, "that you're under arrest.
I went out to the Gumberts place on
Bayou Terrebonne this morning, ar
rested Memphis Izzy Gumberts and
four other men engaged In operating
a lottery, and also arrested two
mechanicians who were engaged In
working on stolen cars. We took In,
further, a gentleman by the name of
Dick Uearue; a lesser member of the
gang, who Is now engaged in dictating
a confession. Just u moment, chief!
I prefer to do the talking at present.",
Gramont smiled into the steady, un
faltering eyes of Fell.
"You are next on the program," he
said, evenly.. "We know that you are
at the head of an organized gang,
which is not only operating a lottery
through this and adjacent states, but
also Is conducting an immense busi
ness In stolen automobiles. There
tore "
"Just one minute, please," said
Jachln Fell. "Do you forget, Mr. Gra
mont, the affair of the Midnight
Masquer? You are a very zealous citi
zen, I have no doubt, but"
"I was about to add," struck In Gra
mont, "that your pleasant friend Ben
Chacherre Is charged with the murder
of the sheriff of Terrebonna parish, In
which I have clear evidence against
him, having been present at the scene
of the crime. He is also charged with
the murder of Joseph Mnlllnrd "
"My heavens!" said Fell, staring. "I
never dreamed thut Chacherre "
"Perhaps you didn't." Gramont
shrugged his shoulders. "Neither did
anyone else. I Imagine that Ben
learned of this room and drinking
party, and rightly decided that he
could make a rich haul off a small
crowd of drunken young sports. He
had the costume stolen from my car,
as you know; also the automatic
which went with It. Two shots were
missing from the automatic when we
found it In Ben's possession; and you
remember the Masquer fired twice at
the time Malllard was killed."
Fell's keen eyes sparkled angrily.
"You're a very zealous citizen, young
man," he said, softly. "I see that you've
been hurt. I trust your little game
did not result in casualties?"
Gramont nodded. "Churlle the Coog
went west. He was desperate, I
fancy; at all events he got me in the
arm, and I had to shoot him. Memphis
Izzy hardly Justified his tremendous
reputation, for he yielded like a lamb."
"So you killed the Goog, eh?" said
Fell. "Very jealous, Mr. Grnmontl And
I suppose that the exigencies of the
case justified you, a private citizen, In
carrying arms and using them? Who
aided you in this marvelous affair?"
"A number of friends from my post
of the American Legion," Bald Gra
mont, evenly.
"Ah! This organization is going In
for politics, then?"
"Not for politics. Fell; for Justice.
I deputized them to assist me."
"Deputized I" repeated Fell, slowly.
"Certulnly." Gramont smiled. "You
see, this lottery business has been
going on for a year or more. ' Some
time ngo, before I came to New Or
leans, the governor of this stale up
pointed me a special olilcer to Investi
gate the matter. There Is my commis
sion, which the chief bus been reading.
It gives me a good deal of power, Fell ;
quite enough power to gather In you
and your bunch."
The chief of police looked very un
easily from Gramont to Jachln Fell,
and back again. Fell sat erect in his
chair, sturlng at Gramont.
"You were the original Midnight
Masquer," said Fell In his toneless
voice. At this direct charge, and at
Gramont's assent, the chief started In
surprise. '
"Yes. One reason was that I suspect
ed some one In society, some one high
up In New Orleans, to be connected
with the gang; but I never dreamed
that you were the man, Fell. I ruther
suspected young Malllard. I am now
glad to say that I was entirely wrong.
You were the big boss, Fell, and you're
going to serve time for It."
Fell glanced at the chief, who
cleared his throat as If about to speak.
At this moment, however, a sharp
knock sounded at the door.
"Come!" called Gramont.
A man entered. It was one of Gra
mont's deputies, who happened nlso to
be a reporter from one of the morning
papers of the city. He carried several
sheets of paper which he laid before
Gramont. He glanced at Fell, who
recognized him and exchanged a nod
of greeting, then returned his attention
to Grumont.
"Ah I" suid the latter with satisfac
tion, as he examined the papers. "So
Ilenrne has given up everything, has
he? Does this confession Implicate
Mr. Fell, here?"
"Well, rather," drawled the other,
cheerfully. "And see here, cap ! There
are two more of us In the crowd and
we've arranged to split the story. We'd
like to rush the stuff to our papers the
minute you give the word, because "
"I know." Gramont returned the
papers that bore the confession of
Hearue. "You've made copies of this,
of course? All right. Shoot the stuff
In to your papers right away, if you
Wish."
Fell raised a hand to check the
other.
"One moment, please!" he suid, his
eyes boring Into the newspaper man.
"Will you also take a message from me
to the editor of your newspaper and
see that it goes to the others as well?"
"If Mr. Gramont permits, yes."
"Go ahead," said Gramont, wonder
ing what Fell would try now. He
soon learned, v
"Then," pursued Fell, evenly, "you
will kindly Inform the editors of your
papers that, in case my name appears
in connection with this matter, I shall
Immediately institute suit for libel.
No matter what Mr. Gramont may say
or do, I assure you fully that no pub
licity Is going to attach to me in this
matter. Neither, I may add, am I going
to be urrested. That Is all, sir."
Gramont smiled. "Take the message
If you see fit, by nil means," he said,
carelessly. "You may also take my
fullest assurance that within twenty
minutes you will observe Mr. Fell
safely in Jail. That's all."
The newspaper man saluted and de
parted, grinning;
Grnmont leaned forward, the harsh
lines of his face spelling determination
as he looked at Jachln Fell.
"So you won't be arrested, eh? Let's
see. I know that this gang of yours
has Influence running up Into high
places, and that this influence has
power. That is why I was appointed
to investigate this lottery game secret
ly, and in my own way. That is why,
also, I brought the chief of police here
tonight."
He turned to the perturbed officer,
and spoke coldly.
"Now, chief, you've seen my author
ity, you've heard my charges, and you
know they will be proved up to the
hilt. Are you willing to arrest Jachln
Fell, or not?"
The chief cleared his throat.
"Why, Mr. Gramont," he observed,
nervously, "about the rest of the gang,
we'll take care of 'em, sure! But It's
different with Mr. Fell, here. He's a
friend of the senator "
"Different, h II!" snapped Gra
mont, angrily. "He's a criminal, no
mutter who his friends may be, and I
have the proof of It 1"
"Well, that may be so," admitted
tlie chief of police. "But this thing Is
goin' to raise a h 1 of a scandal, atl
up and down the state I You know
that as well as I do. Now, If I was
you, I'd act kind of slow"
Gramont smiled bitterly.
"Perhaps you would, chief.- In fact,
I don't doubt that you would. But you
are not me. Now, as a duly-appointed
officer acting under authority of the
governor of the state, I call upon you
to arrest this criminal, and 1 make you
duly responsible for his safe-keeping.
Do you dare refuse?"
The chief hesitated. He looked at
Fell for help, but none came. Fell
seemed to be rather amused by the
situation.
Gramont leaned back Jn his chair.
The purpling features of the chief
were streaming with perspiration ; the
man was In a frightful dilemma, and
his plight was pitiable. At this In
stant Jachln Fell Interposed.
"Let m speak, please," he said,
gently. "My dear Mr. Gramont, It has
Just occurred to me that there may be
a compromise "
"I'm not compromising," snapped
Gramont
"Certainly not; I Kpeak of our mutu
al friend here," and Fell Indicated the
chief with a bland gesture. "I believe
that Judge Forester of this city Is at
present consulting with the governor
ut Baton Rouge on political matters,
With them, also, is Senator Flaxman,
who has come from Washington on the
same errand. Now, It would be a very
simple matter to end all this anxiety.
Suppose that you cull up the governor
on long distance, from this telephone,
and get his assurance thnt I am not to '
be arrested. Then you'll be convinced."
Grtmiont laughed with deep anger.
"You gangsters are all alike 1" he
said, turning to the desk telephone,
"You think that because you have
planted your slimy tentacles In high
places you can do anything with abso
lute Impunity. But the governor of
this state Is not in your clutches.
"He's a man, by heaven 1 I have his
asurance thnt he'll prosecute to the
limit whoever Is behind this criminal'
gang and he keeps his wordl Don't
think thnt If your friend the senator Is
with li I in , you will be saved. I'll call
him, If only to show the chief, here,
that Influence Is not going to count In
this game."
Grumont took down the receiver,
called long distance, and put In a hur
ried call for the executive mansion,
asking for the governor in person.
"So you think thut he's Immune from
Influence, do you?" Jachln Fell smiled
patronizingly and lighted a fresh clgur.
The chief of police was mopping his
brow.
"My dear Gramont, you exhibit a
youthful confidence In human nature 1
Let me topple -your clay-footed Idol
from Its pedestal In a hurry. Mention
to the governor that you have me un
der arrest, and thnt I have asked him
to speak with Judge Forester and Sen
ator Flaxman before confirming the ar
rest. I'll wager you five hundred dol
lars "
The telephone rang sharply. Taunt
ed almost beyond endurance, Gramont
seized the instrument and made an
swer. In a moment he hud the gover
nor on the wire. His guze went ex
ultantly to Fell.
'"Governor, this is Henry Grnmont
speaking," lie said. I've just succeed
ed In my work, as I wired you this af
ternoonno, hold on a minute I This
Is important,
"The head of the entire gang Is a
man here In New Orleans by the name
of Jachln Fell. Yes, Fell. I find it
very hard to get him arrested. Fell
boasts that his influence Is superior to
any that I can bring to bear. He asks
that you speak with Judge Forester
and Senator Flaxman before confirm
ing the arrest, and boasts that you will
order me to keep my hands off.
"Speak with them, governor 1 If
they're In the gang, too, don't you
worry. You confirm this arrest, and
I'll put Fell behind the bars If I have
to turn all New Orleans Inside out.
Go ahead! I know you can't be
reached by any of these crooks I'm
merely calling Fell's bluff. We have
the chief of police here, and he's
sweating. Eh? Sure. Take as long
as you like, governor."
He smiled grimly at Jachln Fell as
he waited. Two minutes passed
three four. Then he heard the voJce
of the governor again.
"Yes?"
"Don't arrest him, Grnmont."
"What?" Gramont gasped.
"Don't touch him, I said ! Get In all
the others, no matter who they are,
but leave Fell alone "
"You d d coward!" shouted Gra
mont, in a heat of fury. "So tills is
the way you keep your promises, is It?
And I thought you were above all In
fluences real American! You're a
h 1 of a governor oh, I don't want
to hear any more from you."
He jerked up the receiver.
There was a moment of dead silence
In the room. The chief mopped his
brow, in evident relief. Jachln Fell
sat back In his chair and scrutinized
Gramont with his thin-lipped smile.
Gramor.t sat helpless, wrung by cha
grin, rage and impotency. There was
nothing he could sny, nothing he could
do. The man behind him had failed
him. The entire power of the state,
which had been behind him, had failed
him. There was no higher power to
which he could appeal, except the
power of thj federal government. His
head jericed up sharply.
"Fell, I've got evidence on you, and
I've got the evidence to put this lot
tery business lnto-federal hands. Boys !
come In here!"
At his shout the door opened and
two of his men entered. Gramont
looked at the chief.

The bobby of collecting wall paper
had a distinguished pioneer in Sir
Walter Scott, who In one of his let
ters narrates his delight In a gift
which came to him when he was
adorning Abbotsford. He was in a
quandary as to an appropriate wall
decoration for ids "wlth-drawlng
room," which, with the library, was
to be the most distinguished chamber
in the mansion. Tapestry lan to
too great a Thrice, and as for crdinary
designed wall-papers, they were lack
ing In distinction. But a friend who
hud sojourned for long In the East,
and had brought h'-me a collection
of oriental objects, found among them
a number of rolls of gilt Chinese pa
per, adorned with dragons anj other
reptiles of the Imagination. He of
fered the rolls to . Sir Walter, who
saw In the design the very thing that
suited. The paper stands today al
most as fresh as when It was put up
In the "Wizard's" baronial hall.
