THE I . TEETH OF THE TIGER ! C by MAURICE LEBLANC TRANST.ATED BY ALEXANDER TEJXEIRA DE MATT03 CHAPTER SIXTEEN. (Continued..) “) told you so, Deputy Chief! You should have taken your pre cautions. Mile. Levasseur’s at titude ought to have warned you. She evidently knows the criming,! and wanted to go to him. ask him for ;planations and, for all we can t- It. save him, if he managed to convince her. And what will happen between them? When the villain sees that he is discovered, lie will be capable of anything." M. Desmalions again ques tioned the mother superior and soon learned that. Florence, before taking refuge in the nursing home, had spent 48 hours in some furnished apartments on the lie Faint Louis. The elite was not worth much, hut i hey could not neglect it. The Prelect of Police, who retained aJ! his doubts with regard to Flor enee and attached extreme im portance to the girl's capture, ordered Weber and Ids men to follow up this trail without de lay. Don Luis accompanied the deputy chief. Lvents at once showed that the Prefect, of Police was right. Flor ence had taken refuge in the lodg iiig house on the lie Saint-Louis, v.leie she had engaged a room .. an assumed name. Rut she lmd i.o sooner arrived than a small ioy called at the house, asked for her, and went away with her. 'I hey went up to her room and found a parcel done up in a news paper, containing a nun’s habit. The thing was obvious. Later, in the course,of the even ing. Weber succeeded in discover ing the small boy. lie was the son of the porter of one of the houses iu the neighborhood. Where could he have taken Flor ence? When questioned, lie defi nitely refused to betray the lady who had trusted him and who had cried when she issed him. ITis mother entreated him. His lather boxed Ids ears. He was inflex ible. In any ease, it was not unreas onable t,o conclude that Florence had not left the lie Saint-Louis or its immediate vicinity. The de li, lives persisted in their search - all the evening. Weber estab lished hi|kheadquarters in a tap room where every scrap of infor mation was brought to him and where his men returned from time to time to receive his orders. He also remained in constant communication with the Prefect's office. At half-past ten a squad of de tectives, sent by the Prefect, placed themselves at t he deputy chief’s disposal. Mazeroux, new ly arrived from Rouen and fur ious with Florence, joined them. The search continued. Don Luis had gradually assumed its management; and it was he who, so to speak, inspired Weber to ring at this or that door and to question this or that person. At 11 o’clock the hunt-still remained' fruitless; and Don Litis was the victim of an increasing and irritating restlessness. But, Shortly after midnight, a shrill whistle drew all the men to the eastern extremity of the island’, at the end of the Quai d’Anjou. • Two detectives stood w-aiting |or them, surrounded by a small Irowd of onlookers. They had usi learned that, some distance arther away, on the Quii Henri V'. which dons not form part of 1' * <4 mwiui V «tl ItUd [MllH’U gU outside a house, that there was fh»- noise of a dispute, ami that tjhe cab had subsequently driven gff in tlie direction of Vincennes, j They hastened to the t^utii Jicnri IV and at once found the louse. There was a door one the ground floor opening straight on the pavement. The taxi had stop fed for a few minutes in front of this door. Two persons': a |i)iiiun and a man leading her Slone, bad Jeft the ground door flat. W.he# the door of the taxi was" shut, a man’s voice had shouted from the inside: ■ "Drive down the Boulevard Saint-Germain and along tin Juavs. Then take the Vei-saillc oa’d.” But the porter's wife war abb to furnish more p: - ise particu lair. Puzzled l-v the tenant of ’h. § sM y y" W'„ y :'' f 38 ground floor, whom she had only .seen once, in the evening, who | paid his rent by checks signed 'in the name of Charles and who i hut very seldom came to his japartment, she had taken advan tage of the fact that her lodge was next to the flat to listen to the sound of voices. 'I’he man and Ilie woman were arguing. At one moment the man cried, in a louder tone: "Come with me, Florence. 1 j insist upon it; and 1 will give you every proof of my innocence to morrow morning. And, if you nevertheless refuse to become my wife, l shall leave the country. Ail my preparations are made.” A little later he began to laugh and, again raising his voice, said; "Afraid of what, Florence? That 1 shall kill you perhaps? No. no, have no fear*--” I'lie portress' had heard nolhing more. But was this not enough to justify every alarm? Don Luis caught hold of the deputy chief: “Lome along! I knew it: the man is capable of anything. It’s the tiger! He means to kill her!” lie rushed outside, dragging the deputy toward the two police motors waiting live hundred .wirds down. Meanwhile, Mazer oux was trying to protest: “It would be better Jo search the house, to pick up some clues" Dji, shouted Don Luis, in creasing his pace, “the house and the clues will keep! | But he's gaining ground, the ruf jtiun and he has Florence with I him and lie’s going to kill her! It s a trap! . , . I’m sure of it — — ”■ He was shouting in the dark, .dragging the two men along with irresistible force. They neared the motors. Let ready! lie ordered as soon as. he was in sight. "' I’ll drive myself.” » He tried to get into the driver’s seat. But Weber objected and pushed him inside, saying: Don 1 trouble—the chauffeur knows his business . lie'll drive faster than you would.” Don Luis, the deputy chief, and two detectives crowded into the [eab; Mazerotix took his seat be side the chauffeur. ‘•Versailles Road!” loared Don Luis. The car started: and lie con tinned: “ We've got him! Y’ou see, it ’s a magnificent opportunity. He must be going pretty fast, lint without forcing (lie pace, because j he doesn 't think we're after him Oh. the villain, we’ll make him sit up! Quicker, driver! But what the devil are we loaded up (1‘ke tins for? Von and 1. Deputy [Chief, would have been enough. ,Ili, Mazeroux, get. down and jump into the other car! That ’ll | be better, won’t it. Deputy? It’s absurd— : He interrupted himself; and. ,11s iie was sitting on the back seat between the deputy chief mi,I a I detective, lie rose toward the window and muttered: I Why, look here, what's the |idol doing? That's not the road! II say, what does this mean?” A roar of laughter was the only (answer. It e.ime from Weber, who was shaikng with delight. 'Don Luis stifled an oath and, j'miking a tremendous effort, tried , ,u l-.tp from the ,a,. y*. .fell upon him and held him mo tionless. The deputy chief had | him by the throat. The detectives : clutched his arms. There was no room for him to struggle within ' the restricted space of the small car; and he telt the cold iron of a revolver on his temple. “None of your nonsense,” growled Weber, "or I’ll blow out ’your brains, my hoy! Aha ! you didn't expect this! It's Weber’s j revenge, eh?” And. when Pertoina continued I to wicgle. h<‘ wont on, in i thrert !ening'tone: * j “You'll have paly yourself to blame, mind! . . . I’m go dug to count three: one, two-" j “But what’s it all about?” hel lo,we 1 Don Luis. “ITci'e-.-t'x orders, received just .' now.” U t. “What orders?’’ “To take you to the lockup it the Florence girl escaped to again.” “Have you a warrant?” “I have.” “And what next?” “What next? Nothing: the Sante—the examining magistrate ♦ » “But, hang it all, the tiger’s making tracks meanwhile! Oh rot ! is it possible to be so dense! What mugs those fellows are! Oh dash it!” He was fuming with rage, and when he saw that they were driv ing into the prison yard, he gath ered all his strength, knocked the revolver out of the deputy’s hand, and stunned one of the detectives with a blow of bis fist. But ten men came crowding round the doors. Resistance was useless. He understood this, ami his rage increased. “The idots!” he shouted, while they surrounded him and search ed hint at the door of the office. “The rotters! The bunglers! To go mucking up a job like that! They can lay hands on the villain if they want to; and they lock tip the honest man—while the villain makes himself scarce! An he'll |do more murder yet! Florence! Florence 1’nder the lamp light, in the midst of the detectives holding him, he was magnificent in his helpless violence. j hey dragged him away. With ati unparalleled dd s p 1 a y of strength, he drew himself up, shook off the men who were hanging on to him like a pack of lionhds worrying some animal at hay, got rid of Weber, and accost ed Mazeronx in familiar tones. He was gloriously masterful almost caltfl, so wholly did he appear to control his seething rage. He gave his orders in breathless little, sen tences, curt as words of command. “Mazeroux, run around to the Prefect’s. Ask him to ring up Valengly: yes, the Prime Minis ter. I want to see him. Have him informed. Ask the Prefect to sa,, it’s I: thf man who made the German Emperor play his game. My name? He knows. (V if he forgets, the Prefeet can tell him my name.’’ He paused for a second or two; and then, calmer to him and just and then, calmer still, he de clared : “Arsene Lupin! Telephone those two words to him and just sa.v this: ‘Arsene Lupin wishes to speak to Prime Minister on very important business ’ Get that through to him at once. The Prime Minister would be very angry if he heard afterward that they had neglected to communi cate my request. Go, Mazeroux, and then find the villain’s tracks agaiu.’’ The governor of the prison had opened the jail book. “You can enter nfy name, Mon sieur le Direoteur, said Don Luis. “Put down Arsene Lupin.' ” The governor smiled and said: “I should find a difficulty in putting down any other. It’s on the warrant: ‘Arsene Lupin, alias Don Luis Perenna.’ ’’. Don Luis felt a little shudder pass through him at the sound of those words. The fact was that he was arrested under the name of Arsene Lupin made his position doubly dangerous. “Ah. he said, "so they’ve re solved-’’ — "1 should think so!” said Web er, in a tone of triumph. “We've resolved to take the bull by the horns and to go straight for Lupin. Plucky of us. eh? Never lear, we ll show you something better than tha1!’’ Don Luis did not flinch. Turn ing to Mazeroux again, lie.said: “Don't forget my instructions, Mazeroux.” Hut there was a fresh blow in j store for him. The sergeant did 'not answer liis remark. Don Luis | watched him closely and rs . Warrant Iduly executed." | * “And on what charge?” “ Aeeompliec ol" Arsene Lupin.’ j “Mazeroux my accomplice! ■Get out! Mazeronx? The most [honest mail that ever lived!” j “The most lionest man thai ever lived, as you say. That -didn't (prevent p“op’e f oni going to hiur ■ when they wanted to write to voi lor preve-j* him from hringint [you the letters. Which proves i that he knew where you were hanging out. Anil there's a good deal more which we’ll explain to you, Lupin, in good time. You’ll have plenty of fun, I assure you.” Don Luis murmered: ‘‘My poor Mazerouxl” Then, raising his yoice, he said: ‘‘Don’t cry. old chap. It’s just a matter of t1ie remainder of the night. Yes, I’ll share my cards with you; and we’ll turn the king and mark game in a very few hours. Don’t cry. I've got a much finer berth waiting for you, a more honorable and above all a more lucrative position. 1 have just what yon want. ‘‘You don’t imagine, surely, that I wasn’t prepared for this! Why, you know me! Take it from me; I shall be at liberty tomorrow ami the government, after setting you free, will pitch you into a colonelcy • of something, with a marshal’s pay attached to it. So don’t cry, Mazeroux.” Then, addressing Weber, he said to him in the voice of a prin cipal giving an order, and know ing that the order will be exe euted without discussion; •‘Monsieur,. I will ask you to fulfill the confidential mission which I was entrusting to Maze roux. First, inform the Prefect of Police that l have a communi cation of the very highest import ance to make to the Prime Min ister. Next, discover the tiger’s tiacks at Versailles before the night is over. I know your merit, Monsieur, and I rely entirely up on your diligence and your zeal. Meet me at 12 o’clock tomor row.” | ^nd, still maintaining his atti tude of a principal who has given his instructions, lie allowed him self to be taken to his cell. ft was ten to one. For the last •’>0 jninutes the enemy had been bowling along the highroad, car rying off Florence like a prey which it now seemed impossible to snatch from him. Tile door was locked and bolt ed. Don Luis reflected: “Even presuming that Mon sieur le Prefect consents to ring up Valenglav, he won't do so be fore the morning. So they’ve given the villain eight hours start before 1 m free. Eight hours! Curse it!” f lie thought a little longer, then shrugged his shoulders with the air of one who, for the monntnt, has nothiug better to do than wait and flung himself on his fattress, murmuring: “Hushaby, Lupin!” CHAPTER XV H. Open Sesame! In spite of his usual facility for sleep, Don Luis slept for three hours at most. He was racked with too much anxiety j and, though his plan of conduct was worked out mathematically, he could not help foreseeing all the obstacles which were likely to frustrate that plan. Of course, Weber would speak to M. Desma lions. But would M. Desmalions telephone to Valenglay? “He is sure to telephone,’’ Don Luis declared, stamping his foot. "It doesn't let him in for any thing. And, at the same time, he wfhtld be running a big risk if he refused, especially as Valenglay must have been consulted about my arrest and is obviously kept informed of all that happens.” lie next asked himself what ex ant ly Valenglay could do, once he was told. For, after all, was it not too much to expect that the head of the government, that the Prime Minister, should put him self out to obey the injunctions and assist the schemes of M. Arsene Lupyi? "He will come!” he cried, with the same persistent confidence. "Valenglay doesn’t care a hang for form and ceremony and alj that nonsense. He will come, even if it is only out of curiosity, to learn what the Kaiser's friend I,..,,, I,-,,*.. 1,. : -IV 1, ; -. hi> knows me! I am not one of those beggars who inconvenience people for nothing. There’s al ways something to be gairffed by meeting me. He’ll come!” i But another question at once presented itself to his mind. Val englay ’s coming in no way im plie I his consent to the bargain which Perenna meant to propose to him. And even if Don Luis succeeded iu convincing him, what risks remained! How many doubtful points to overcome! Aud then the possibilities of failure! Would Weber pursue the fugi tive's motor enr with the ncces jsary decision and boldnaas? 'Would he get on the track again? 1 And, having got on the track, I would he be dot tain not to lose ;!*» _ _____ _ _, \\ ««k j. TRAGEDY OF RUMANIA ; IS GRAPHICALLY TOLD i _ ^ Curtain Drawn Aside By Direc | tor of Italian Hospital Who 4 Just Came Out of Country. i - I BY HENRY WOOD. | United Press Staff Correspondent. Rome (by mail)—What happened In Rumania, when the little Balkan coun try was forced to accept a German peace because of the Russian debacle, Is still an untold tale. When '.he story is written it will rank along with tlio tragedies of Belgium,-of Siberia and ol j Montenegro, as one of the great chap I ters of the war. I From the moment the central empires forced upon their dlmunitive prey the terms of a German peace Rumania has been as though shrouded in a veil. Every effort has been made by Ger many and Austria to keep Rumania from entering into communication with her former allies. The tragedy that is still being enacted in the little country is hidden in mystery and silence. By Dr. Bennedelto Cimino, who di i reded an Italian hospital at Bucharest I from the beginning of the war to July, however, the curtain is drawn aside for the first time, and there is revealed the beginning of the Rumanian tragedy and 1 its present status. | Blocked up in Rumania by the Gor . man peace, it was only on July 1, last, I that Dr. Cimino succeeded in securing ' permission to leave. His account of , what took place in the little Balkan ally during the time -&hen Germany and (Austria were inflicting their terms of peace, and since then, is not only graphic but of the utmost historical in 1 terest. | Dr. Cimlno's story is as follows: I “1 arrived at Bucharest October 30, 1916, and left on July 1, 1918. I “No one can conceive what Rumania is at the present time. The ignorance in which the Germans keep the native population of all that is happening In , the rest of the world exceeds the im agination. Tlie defeats, the disasters, 1 the facts that are contrary to the Ger ' man Interests and completely unknown ( in Rumania while the Germans publish . every day a series of manufactured ' news and falsehoods that a portion of the public invariably believes in the end. | “The royal family is at Jassy, and . will remain there throughout the en tire period of the German-Austrian oc ' cupation, Bucharest being peopled largely by enemy officers. j j "After being obliged to abandon Transylvania, the Rumanian army re treated rapidly, and it was not long before the evacuation of the capital became a necessity. Enemy airplanes . bombarded Bucharest without ceasing, I destroying many of the most beautiful edifice^ and kUfins and wounding hun f aretls of people. I "Tlie morning of November 21, the I beautiful Princess Canlacuzene who [ directed the hospilal of which I was J the head entered the operating room , and asked whether I wished to leave, ' adding that there were still two trains ' to leave Bucharest for Moldavia, j “1 replied that 1 had come to Buch arest to direct the hospital and that I declined to leave. While this dialog was going on, tho church bells—which | were later carried away by the con I querers and melted into projectiles— rang out to announce the resumption of the bombardment. I “I shall never forget the Impressions of the hours that followed. “A few hours before the Germans entered Bucharest, the city was evacu ated by every •one who was able to leave. “The next day the expulsions and arests began. The first to be selxed were the government officials, deputies, ministers, former ministers and In fluential persons generally. “The enemy took possession of the city so quickly that few had even time to hide their most precious objects. Mobs Prussian “System.” “Each pefson was given a card of identity indicating the number of chil dren and the number of relatives oc cupying the same house. “The order was given that no one •hould leave Itis place of residence after 7 p. m. “Destruction of the furniture and furnishings of the houses to provide firewood was begun immediately, as well as the theft of ail precious ob jects. pillage of mattresses and linen, carrying away ol paintings and statues. 'Fortunately the' Bulgarians, whose infamies are even worse, were prevent ed from entering the city. “To give filial proof of the barbarltv of thin people that is unworthy the right to live in Europe it is sufficient to state that out of 36,000 Rumanian prisoners ttiat were interned in Bul garia. only 10,0*0 ever returned to Rumania alive, the other 26,000 having succumbed to privations, fatigues, dis eases and bad treatment when tltev were not murdered in cold blood. W aile awaiting other orders, patrols commanded by officers inarched through the streets with fixed bayonets visiiing every house one at a time and carry infc' away everything- they considered unnecessary for tile families lo have. Gn file other hand. Mackensen, com mander of the armies, and in whose name thousands of atl'ocites have been i committed, but of which I am certain | lie knows nothing, is very well liked in spite of everything. Why this is so. I will ti ll you. It is » matter of little consequence and can tie told in a few words. "In the Metropolitan church of Bu charest there exists tho miraculous relic of a saint. One day, while the church was closed and the guard was promenading outside, three Bulgarian soldiers arrived in an automobile, and forcing the door of the cathedral, tar ried away tiie venerated relic. ‘•t'pon the return later of the bishop, tao rAttf'i at unco ilisctivfr(‘U criiui1 IT. !

This sufficed to attract to Mackensen the sympa thies of many. “Bui entirely aside from that. Mack ensen in all circumstances has always shown himself a man worthy of res pect and consideration. “With the establishment of the Ger man soldiers in Rumania, the German authorities undertook the organization of the press. At Mrsi :tier*: whs only a single newspaper allowed lo be pub lished. and that in German, but later arrangements were made for papers in Rumanian. There was first the Ga xeta, Bucuresliior and later the Lu mina. These papers had to praise the Invaders and their ads and to keep systematically silent on what was tak ing place in France, Albania and Italy, likewise to play uo to the i dlest ex tent any newys unfavorable to the al lied powers. “At tha moment of the Italian dis aster on the Isoiuo last year, these papers launahed special edition after apectr.l edition in which it was an I noum ed that the entire Italian nrm'rs had fallen into the hands of the Ger mans ar.il the Aus'riurs. that the Ital ian government was ulann.ng to near don Milan “arid' Ye:jce. and that the soldiers ct ‘Conrad were prepurn.g to GOVERNMENT CONTROL GENERAL IN HOLLAND The Hague —(by mail.)—Standard ized food is becoming the rule in Hol | ,and and starnardized elothing may be next. The scarcity of meat has called into being the standard sausage, a mixtura of beef and veai, produced under gov ernment control and sold at the fixed price of«d.22 per pound. The shortage of leather is respon : eible for the introduction of standard shoes in three grades and prices; and starndard sack suits in six varieties ; of sober tints are promised for the near future. ■ Standardization in women’s clothes is 1 urged in eome quarters; but few van i turesome spirits hazard any concrete ^ ; suggestions on this thorny problem. The latest is the standard cigar. To I bacco prices are soaring and cigars • now cost twice or three times as much as they did a year ago. The govern i merit article will be made of the re I maining stocks of Java tobacco in the country, and provided with a wooden mouthpiece, enabling the smoker to finish the weed (o the bitter end. which is expected to result in a sav ing of 15 per cent. This, cigar will | retail at 5 Dutch cents and pickers up j °f cigar stubs will have to look out I for another trade. march on the Eternal City. “Every monthfal! of the inhabitant* of Bucharest must go to the central control bureau in order to demonstrate that they have not left tlie city and to have th«r identity cards stamped cards which they must always Wive in their pockets at all times. The stamp ing of the cards is done according to nationality with the result that throughout the month Ihere is con stantly in waiting a line of people that extends the full length of Cantaeuzene street. "Among thfe marvels of prowess per formed by the Germans it is necessary to cite the emission of several billion francs of paper money in the name Of the Banque Generate Roumaiue. which, wiien it is allowed to return to Bucharest will have to pay all of the bills thus put in circulation in It*, name. "Speculators in merchandise are not very far behind. A pair of women's stockings costs from $30 to $35. a shirt from f30 to $40, and everything else in proportion. "This i* for the very simple reason that in all Rumania there does not remain today a single factory, or a single industry. “At Bucharest you might be willing to pay millions of franco to have a little sterilized cotton for dressing your wounds, a little glycerin, or a piece of velvet, but your willingness to ,pay would be in vain for those things do not exist there any more. Practically aTl of the stores are closed because there is nothing to sell. > ~ “Paring my Jgst month there sugar was sold for'*4 a pound. A sweetened drink costs $1 a glass. "The German administration that should have ended as upon as the treaty of peace was ratified by the senate continues without opposition. In Germany and Austria the misery and famine exceeds everything that has been or can be recounted. "On the railway coming- from Buch arest the trains for civilians have been interrupted and suspended for such a . long number of months, that when our \ train arrived at Budapest, an immense \ crowd of railway workers rushed up, ^ impelled nv-rely by curiosity at seeing a train arrive from Bucharest. "Sentinels commanded by officers who accompanied us sought in vain ; lo establish order. A young Rumanian j woman of unusual spirit had the I happy idea of throwing a piece of 1 bread at the sentinel. Tho latter, for getting entirely his military duty. dropped hia rifle and leaped lo seize the bite of bread. This was tint signal for a grand rush. All of the travelers, provided with provisions for a long voyage, knowing that the latter would not last more than four or five days and that later there would lie a din ing oar. threw out eggs, pieces of chicken, meat and bread. “Women, children and men, all starving, stretched out their hands and sought to obtain a morsel. “I saw high administrative officials ask to be given a bite of something. The cries and commands of the of ficers were absolutely unavailing. “The same scene was repeated at the railway station at Vienna, where the officers who had accompanied us i were changed. “Tlie travelers resumed the distri j button of their food supplies and in terrogated the miserable people, "'ho only begged and prayed that they be not asked to say what they thought about the situation. “No one in Rumania believes that , tlie present peace is final, aijd the en tire nation is convinced that Ru I mania will be allowed to participate at the final peace conference."
