It was a little after eight In the morning when Gramont drove Into He noticed that two large Paradis. automobiles were standing in front of the post office, and that about them were a group of men who eyed him and his car with some Interest. Paying no attention to these, he drove on through the town without a halt. Sweeping out along the north road, no one. When at lie encountered length he reached the Ledanois farm he drove In toward the deserted house and parked the car among some trees where it could not be seen from the road. Leaving the car, Gramont took his way toward the bank of tbe bayou and followed this in the direction of the adjoining property. He went on to an opening In the bushes which, over the low rail fence, gave him a clear view of the Humberts There he paused, quickly property. drew back, and gained a point whence he could see without danger of his presence being discovered. He settled Into Immobility and watched. That Memphis Izzy himself had not yet arrived, he was fairly certain. Near the barn were drawn up two flivvers, and sitting in chairs on the cottage veranda were three men who must have come in these cars. Gramont hud come provided with binoculars, and got these out. He was not long in discovering that all three men on the veranda were strangers to him. They, no doubt, were men in the lottery game, waiting for Gumberts to arrive. Gramont turned his attention to the other buildings. Both the barn and shop were open, and the buzzing thrum of machinery bore witness that the mechanics were hard at work upon the stolen cars. Gramont thought of Ben Chaeherre, still tied and lashed to the chair in his room, and wondered what was to be found under the rear seat of Bens car. He could see the car from where lie lay. Almost on his thought, a and noiseless ear came sweeping down the road and he knew at once that Memphis Izzy had arrived. lie knew it intuitively, even before lie obtained a good glimpse of the broad, heavy figure and the dominating features. Memphis Izzy was far from handsome, but he possessed character. Wheres the Uoog? As he left the car, which lie had driven himself, Gumberts lifted his voice In a bull-lik- e roar that carried clearly to Gramont. Wheres Charlie the Goog? The mechanics appeared hurriedly. One of them, no other than Gramonts friend of the adenoidal aspect, who seemed to own the mellifluous title of Charlie the Goog, hastened to the side of Gumberts, and the latter gave him evident directions regarding some repair to the ear. Then, turning, Memphis Izzy strode to the cottage. He nodded greetings to the four men who awaited him, took a bunch of keys from his pocket and opened the cottage door. All five vanished within. Gramont rose. A moment previously, fever had thrilled him ; the excitement of the manhunt had held him trembling. Now he was cool again, tiis fingers touching the pistol In his pocket, Lis eyes steady, lie glanced at his watch and nodded. Its time! lie murmured. Lets hope therell he no slipup! All ready, Memphis Izzy. So am I. Lets go! Unhurried and openly, lie advanced, making his leisurely way toward the La rn and shop. Charlie the Goog, who was licnt over the ear of Gumberts, was first to discern bis approach, and straightened lip. Gramont waved bis band in greeting. Charlie the Goog turned his head and called his brethren, who came into sight, staring at Gramont. The latter realized that if he passed them the game was won. If they stopped him, he bade fair to lose everything. Hello, boys! lie called, cheerily, as he drew near. I came out on an errand for the boss got a message for Gumberts. Where is he? In the house? The others nodded, plainly mistrusting him, yet puzzled by his careless manner ami liis reference to Fell. Sure, answered Charlie the Goog. Go right in hes in the big front on his way.

No, replied Senator Sorghum. 32-Pag- e Booklet Each man there had a revolver or pistol, and one by one the weapons clattered Into die corner. Gumberts stood motionless, licking his thick lips, unuttered curses In his glaring eyes. And in that instant Gramont beard the porch steps creak and caught a low, startled cry. Hey, boss! Theys a gang cornin on tbe run It was Charlie the Goog, bursting in upon them in wild haste. Gramont stepped Into the room and turned slightly, covering with one of his weapons the intruder, who stood aghast In the doorway as he comprehended the scene. No words passed. Staring at the five men, then at Gramont, the adenoidal mechanic gulped once and like a flash acted. He ducked low and fired from his pocket. Gramont fired at the same instant, and the heavy bullet, catching Charlie the Goog squarely in the chest, hurled his body half across the room. With the shots Memphis Izzy flung himself forward In a headlong rush. That desperate shot of the little mechanic had broken Gramonts right arm above the wrist; before he could-flra second time, with the weapon In his left hand, Gumberts had wrested the pistol aside and was struggling with him. The other four came into the melee full weight. Gramont went down under a crashing blow. Over hint leaped Memphis Izzy and rushed into the doorway then stopped with astounding abruptness and lifted his arms. After him the other four followed suit. Two men, panting a little, stood outside the door and covered them with shotguns. Tie em, boys, said Gramont, rising dizzily to his feet. No, Im not hurt my arms broken, I think, but let that wait. Got the ones outside? A stamping of feet filled the hall, and other men appeared there. reGot two of em, Gramont ! sponded the leader.

Get that mall sack and the letters particularly; if theyve been working their lottery outside the state, itll be a federal matter. Gumberts, who was being tied up with his friends, uttered a bourse cry. Who are you guys? You cant do crooks where you belong. As for authority, you can ask and go hang.

In it was found tlie aviators costume which Gramont had worn as the Midnight Masquer, and which Chuherre Lad stolen with the loot. Wrapped among the leather garments was an automatic pistol.
