Suddenly there was a blinding flash, and the gleam from a powerful electric torch shone in the faces of Jack Young, Morocco Kate and Colonel Ashley. There was a gasp of surprise and terror from the man beside Mazi the man who had thrust out the torch to see who it was advancing and closing in on him through the darkness. "Ah!" sneered the Frenchman, recovering his self-possession.
"All lies I do not believe," said Mazi, stolidly. "Um!" mused the colonel. "Well, Mazi, you're more stubborn than I thought. But it doesn't make any difference to me, you know. I'm paid for all this. Now let's see what's next? Oh, yes. Then the records show that Henri, or Jean, whichever you choose to call him, came to this country.
"Well, that's very foolish of you, Mazi, for you can easily prove for yourself everything I tell you, and it will be better for you, in the end, if you do believe." "I do not. But go on with more lies!" She shrugged her shoulders contemptuously. Colonel Ashley leafed over a sheaf of papers he had spread out on the table in front of him. He and Mazi sat in a room in police headquarters in Lakeside.
"That's about all there is to it, Mazi, except to show you the letter from your own priest, who confirms the fact that the priest who married Jean Carnot and Annie Tighe was legally authorized to do so, both by the laws of his own church and those of New York State, where the ceremony took place.
It showed a man and a girl, evidently in their wedding finery, and the face of the man was that of Jean Forette, and that of the girl was of the woman who had groveled on the sand at the feet of the chauffeur the night before, Morocco Kate. "Look on the back," suggested the detective, and when Mazi turned the photograph over she read: "The happiest day of my life Jean Carnot."
He learned, unexpectedly, that the frontier on the side of Piedmont was violated at every point of attack at the same time; that an army corps, commanded by General de Sonnaz, was marching on Perugia; another, led by Brignone, on Spoleto; another, under the Garibaldian Mazi, on Orvieto; finally, that Cialdini was advancing on Sinigaglia, thence on Torrede Jesi, Castelfidardo and Loretto, and that his object was Ancona, the only city except Rome which was capable of making any resistance.
If I had known in time I might have stopped it. But it is too late now. Is he there, Jack?" he asked, as he joined the man in the panama hat. "Yes, sitting outside with Mazi. Going to close in?" "Might as well. Watch him carefully. He's desperate, and " "I know full of dope. Well I'm ready for him."
The income which he derived from family resources was liberally applied in supplying the wants of these destitute children, and even in ministering to their recreation. It now became his duty to accompany, as a missionary priest, Monsignore Mazi, who was appointed Vicar-Apostolic for Chili, Peru and Mexico.
And the colonel gently laid the trembling, shrieking girl down on a bench, while the eyes of the shrinking figure of Jean the chauffeur followed every movement. He raised his free hand, and seemed to be struggling to loosen his collar that appeared to choke him. For a moment the attention of Colonel Ashley was turned toward Mazi, who was sobbing frantically.
He's rotten with some French drug, the like of which I've never seen used before." The coroner's jury had been called together again. Once more the sordid evidence was gone over, but this time there was more of it, and it had to do with a story told weepingly on the stand by Mazi, and corroborated by Colonel Ashley.
