My dear Gramont, your devotion n (to dutv Is Roman In spirit," said Fell, lightly. I really regret that circumstances so conspire to defeat you ! Why cant you be satisfied with bagging so many other victims? You cant bag me Cant I? said Gramont, taking a cigar and biting at It. He was cooler now. By heavens. Fell, theres one thing in this country that you and no other man" can reach with any influence, political bribery or crooked connections and thats the government of the United States! You can reach judges and senators and governors, but you cant reach the unknown and humble men who carry the badge of the Department of Justice! Fell made a slight gesture. Human nature, my dear Gramont. It Is quite trae that I have not established this gang of criminals, as you call them; without taking proper precautions. Memphis Izzy, for instance, has influence that reaches far and wide. So have I. So have others In the party.' I give you my assurance that your Department o:. Justice man will not arrest me.

I say that I think she cares for you; It Is merely 'surmise on my part Lucie is one person for whom Id do anything. I stand and have stood In the place of a parent to her. She is very dear to me. I have a special reason for intruding on your personal affairs in this manner, and some right to ask you In to your Intentions." 1 dont recognize any right what-eveon your part," said Gramont 'Steadily.
