the facts connected with that tmpa

excellent glass of wine, bed put bis
undoubted gifts and subtle brain at

"Now, listen to me. my dear Lao-
set" be snld aftet a prolonged silence,
during which the chief of section hsd
been able to trace on hla friend's fnce
tbe Innei workings of master mind
concentrated on one all-engrossing ob
ject "Listen to me I need not tell
yon. I think, thnf have had some ex

La u ret nodded his bald bead In sym
pathy. He also passed a moist, hot
finger around the turn of hie cravat
This allusion to failure In connection
with the desired cspture of the Scarlet
Pimpernel had started an unpleasant
train of thought
"I've only told yon all this, my good

sarcasilc curl of his thin Hps, "In or

Citizen I -nil tot rejoined. Willi a lone
of perplexity In hi husky voice, "and.

true Inkling n what you've Just said
that. In my anilely, I begged you to
come and give me the benefit of your
exiiertence. Now, tell me," he went
on eagerly, "how do you advise me to
proceed?"
Chauvelln, before be replied to this
direct question, had another drink ot
wine. Then he smacked his Hps. set
down his glass, snd finally said with
slow deliberation. "To begin with, my
good Lnuzet try to bethink yourself
of some family In your district whose

weakness which, for want of belter

"I do," Lauzet replied. In a tone thnt
sounded decidedly perplexed and un

"There Is no but about It," Chauve
lln retorted brusquely. "You have
asked my help and I give you my or

"Quite, quite clear, my good friend,"
