"That is certain!" "While Señor De Gex was in Madrid we had orders to afford him police protection," Rivero said. "Possibly he suspected that some attempt might be made upon him. Certainly he has no idea of that man's true identity." "Yes, he has, for he has come here specially to meet him in secret. But why that Italian should be here I can only surmise.

According to his version of the Peruvian annals, the rule of the Incas began with the mythical Manco Capac, and lasted over five hundred years; and this version, with some variations in estimates of the time, has been repeated ever since. The dynastic line of the Incas thus determined is given in the work of Rivero and Von Tschudi as follows: 1.

And I walked into that big familiar hall, followed by Superintendent Fletcher, Señor Rivero, and two detectives. "We have a meeting here," I explained casually to the smart man-servant who in surprise at our sudden entry showed us to the library, that same room in which I remembered sitting on that fateful November night.

He is a doctor from Florence, named Moroni a man of very evil repute." "But why should Señor De Gex meet such people in secret?" asked Rivero, much astonished. "I suppose there is some strong motive why they should meet the more so, now that I have proved to you that the notorious Despujol is a hireling of this wealthy man De Gex." "A hireling!" he gasped. "What do you mean?"

Rivero, who had been standing near him unrecognized, crossed quickly to where with the Commissary I sat well back from observation, and gasped: "They've gone! He is also leaving! Evidently they suspected they were under observation!" "Ah!

Rivero raised his shoulders and elevated his black eyebrows, saying: "From facts I gathered from Mademoiselle concerning him I certainly think that we are really upon his track. It hardly seems possible, but we must remain in patience till to-morrow.

In the work of Rivero and Von Tschudi, it is stated that a critical examination of the monumentsindicates two very different epochs in Peruvian art, at least so far as concerns architecture; one before and the other after the arrival of the first Inca.” Among the ruins which belong to the older civilization are those at Lake Titicaca, old Huanuco, Tiahuanaco, and Gran-Chimu, and it probably originated the roads and aqueducts.

But though Señor Rivero followed him, he escaped." "Then he is wanted eh?" "Yes for murder." The Dutch police official gave vent to a low grunt. "Very well," he said. "I will have inquiry made. I thank you very much for the information." It seemed to me that he was annoyed because I had dared to dispute his theory that the late Baron had died from natural causes.

The motives for the deaths of the Conde de Chamartin, his daughter, and the philanthropic Dutch financier, were all quite plain, but, of course, I had said nothing to Rivero, or to anybody else, regarding my acceptance of a bribe to assist De Gex in the committal of a crime.

Suddenly the telephone at Monsieur Coulagne's elbow rang, and after listening, he exclaimed: "The men are already posted round the hotel. So all we have to do is to await his return." Hence I went forth with Rivero and the Commissary.
