I added hotly, as I thought of Gabrielle. Rivero glancing at me quickly raised his shoulders with a gesture of disbelief. "Very well," I said. "At least I have proved to you that he is a secret friend of the notorious Despujol. Why is he here in Nîmes to consult with De Gex and his friend the Italian, Moroni, if not for purposes of evil?
"I have taken precautions," replied Monsieur Coulagne, smiling. "I have ordered ten men in plain clothes to go at once unobtrusively to the Hôtel du Luxembourg, and arrest him when he returns." "That will frighten De Gex and Moroni," I said quickly. "And if they are frightened they will escape!" Rivero laughed. I knew that he entirely disbelieved my statement.
I will ring him up at his house." He took up the telephone and a few minutes later spoke rapidly in Spanish to the chief detective of Spain. Presently after a rapid conversation he put down the receiver, and said: "Señor Rivero will meet you at the Delicias Station at two o'clock to-morrow morning. The express for Barcelona leaves at two-fifteen.
But I am told that two days ago he visited the house of Mr. De Gex." "Yes, he is his friend, just as Despujol was," I remarked. "But I cannot understand that!" Rivero declared. "It seems incredible that a person of such high standing as Mr. De Gex should number bandits among his friends!" "I revealed to you the truth concerning De Gex when we were in Nîmes," I said.

The instant Rivero caught sight of the fellow's face, he exclaimed: "Holy Madonna! Why, it is Mateo Sanz, the motor-bandit. We've been searching everywhere for him!
The concierge a lad who wore the concierge's cap the concierge being off duty at his evening meal informed me that my friend had not returned. He seemed an alert French lad of that type so frequently seen in Continental hotels. Señor Rivero had disappeared! For an hour I waited seated alone in my room reflecting deeply.
Even since the days of September the clergy has fought manfully against giving sepulture to Protestants; but Rivero, alcalde of Madrid and president of the Cortes, was not inclined to waste time in dialectics, and sent a police force to protect the heretic funerals and to arrest any priest who disturbed them. There is freedom of speech and printing.
"You see there are sharp clippings in it! Each has no doubt been treated with orosin!" I said. "Had I washed my hands with it as a trial, they would have become scratched and infected with the deadly poison before I was aware of it." "Sanz has no doubt sent you that!" remarked Rivero instantly.
