"More than once you have been regarded as suspected persons," he added. "Well, I hope you do not regard me as a suspected person any longer, Señor Andrade!" I exclaimed with a smile. "No, no," he laughed. "But I confess you are something of a mystery. Why should the notorious Despujol dare to put his foot into Madrid and lay that deadly plot to kill you?

"Did I not tell you that De Gex is as friendly with Sanz as he was with Despujol?" "I know. But in face of other facts I have learnt, the problem presented is an amazing one." As he spoke a tap came upon the door, and a page-boy handed in a card. "Show the gentleman up," Rivero said in his broken English. "Here is someone who will relate some very strange facts.

The director of the Spanish secret police shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Until Professor Vega can make a report we can do nothing. It is no use basing theories upon mere surmises. So we can only wait for Señor Vega to tell us what he discovers. Meanwhile, we will try and secure Despujol though I fear he has too long a start of us."

But both police officials shrugged their shoulders, and the detective remarked: "Despujol is a will o' the wisp. There seems little hope of our ever securing him. Nevertheless we shall continue to do our best to allow you to face him again one day. And then, señor, you will realize what a miraculous escape you have had!"

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?

On that same day the deceitful Despujol was confidentially inquiring of his executive secretary whether it was true that Rizal had been naturalized as a German subject, and, if so, what effect would that have on the governor-general's right to take executive action; that is, could he deport one who had the protection of a strong nation with the same disregard for the forms of justice that he could a Filipino?

He shot and killed a carabineer near Malaga a month ago!" Next second he had left me and a few moments later hurried back. He had bought a ticket. "Sanz does not know me. As soon as we've left the station and are away from Mademoiselle I shall be all right. Remain here. I will wire you, and in any case we shall be together in Nîmes on Monday. But be careful not to be seen by Despujol.

Throughout the day my companion, who was quite as eager as myself to arrest the notorious Despujol, chatted in French as we went slowly down the fertile valley of the Ebro and suddenly out to where on our right lay the broad blue sea.

The consul's cablegram notifying Governor-General Despujol. that Rizal had fallen into their trap, sent the day of issuing the "safe-conduct" or special passport, bears the same date as the secret case filed against him in Manila, "for anti religious and anti patriotic agitation."

Despujol is a very wary bird," replied Monsieur Coulagne, rising and walking out into the Place, where he whispered some hurried words to a stout, well-dressed man who was sauntering by, and who was his chief inspector.
