"Well see about that," answered M.
3SaaI grimly.
"M. Coquenll. you will probably nev

frea me. Now blow your whistle."
CeqBeuti was puzzled. If this was a
Jtaif ft was tho maddest, most Incom
yarehonstble bluff that a criminal ever
Jnade. The detective paused to think.
!Ebey had come down tbo Champs Ely
ces and were nearlng the Itond point,
tfee best guarded part of Paris, where
ttt shrill summons of his police call
weald be answered almost Instantly.
There Is no hurry, I suppose," said
"fee detective. "I'd like to ask a ques
tion or two."
Coquenll was studying his adversa
ry. That beard? Could it bo false?
Jld the hands, the arms? lie bad
uratched these from the first, noting
very movement particularly the left
feand and the left arm, but bo bad de
tected nothing significant
"1 wonder If you havo anything
against me personally?" Inquired M.
"Oa tbo contrary," declared tho oth
er, "we admlro yoa and wish you
well."
"Bat you threaten my dog?"
lf necessary, yes."
"And my mother?"
"If aeceesary."
The decisive moment bad come, for
Jwt tben there shot around the corner
trota the Avenue Montaigne a largo
zed automobile, which crossed tbo
Champs Klysecs slowly, turning into
Afee Avenuo Gabrielle, and stopped nn
Aer the chestnut trees. Like a Hash it
ame Into the detective's mind that
the same automobile had passed them
oce beforo aomo streets back. On the
frest Beat wero two men, strong look
Jag fellows, accomplices, no doubt
I ask because" began M. Paul
with his Indifferent drawl; then, swift
V drawing his whistle, ho sounded a
tfanger call. The stranger sprang
away, but Coquenll was oa him In a
Iteaud. The bearded man, with a great
heave of bis shoulders, broke tbo de
tective's grip, then suddenly be attack
ed, smiting for tbo neck with tho open
sand held sideways in tho treacherous
leaving blow that tho Japanese uso,
Oeqaenll ducked forward, "jap struck
Xth Ms right," thought M. Paul.
At the same moment he fek ale adi
yepary'a hand close on his throat and
lor m knew the, deadly jltsu
a few seconds more and then a crash
lng, shattering pain drove through Co
qucntl's lower heart region, and he
sank weakly to the ground. Ills en
emy had done an extraordinary thing
had delivered a blow not provided for
In jltsu tactics. In spite of the torsion
torture be had swung his free arm uu
der the detective's lifted guard, not in
Yokohama style, but In the best man
ner ot the old English prize ring, his
.clinched fist falling full on the un
guarded solar plexus nerves. And Co
quenll dropped with this thought: "It
was the left that spoke then."
As he sank to the ground M. Paul
tried to save himself, and. seising. til
opponent by the leg. he lieid him des
perately, but the spasms of pain over
came him. and he felt the clutched le;
slipping from his grasp. Then as con
sciousness fndcJ he rallied In a last
fierce effort, and he bit the man deeply
under the knee.
When Coqucnll came to himself he
was lying on the ground nnd sevcra'
policemen were bending over him. lie
lifted his head weakly and looked
about him. The stranger was gone:
the automobile was gone. And sud-'
denly it flashed through his mind thnt
he had been outwitted from the first;
that the man's purpose had not been nt
all what It seemed to be; that a hand
to hand conflict was precisely what
the stranger had sought and planned
for, because because In feverish
haote Coquelln felt In his breast pocket
for the" envelope with 'the precious
leather fragments. It was not there.
Then quickly he searched his other
pockets. It was not there. Tho en
velope containing the woman's name
and address was gone.
