Lambert Mystery. By MRS. ALEXANDER. - CHAPTER VI. 10. Pursuit. Glynn had known some rough l*1 bis life, but a stupendous such as had now overtaken only happen once In an ex Little more than twelve ; before he had thrilled at Klslos eh. and dreamed of winning her si Why had he not accompanied to her house, and seen her safely hi* her father's door. ^After a hideous night, during I he did not attempt to undress, was early next morning at the do L'Eveque. Lambert looked less terribly agi tated than he was the day before, Wl ho had an exhausted, stupefied as If nature could not hold out longer. He was dressed and sreedy to go out, however, and as he too soon for the appointment M. Claude, Glynn accompauied to see Madame Davllliers. Wf found her still much agitated, received Lambert with affection ate ay apathy, but talked in a strain maddened Olynn. The chef de anrcte had evidently communicated her his own belief that Elsie had 4 willingly. "It Is not for me to Judge the hab ?s of other nations," said madame, the results of such freedom as is ??emitted to young American girls ?aaaot fall to be fatal! That dear was an angel of goodness and VmMitj. brought up by those holy "* ? of the convent, and all the ? Hkely to be led away, because of extreme Innocence." "Do yon mean to say that you fhlak my child, my Jewel, my pride, la to blame? that any one living could feed her astray?" almost screamed l*"?bert. stung from his despairing J apathy Into angry excitement. "Dear monsieur. I only blame your Syatem, not Its victim!" Ton are premature in your con etanions." said Glynn with cold dls ?tnrare. "Within twenty-four hours ?fce will no doubt be discovered, and aM that seems inexplicable ex JhlMfl ^ 1' may be so, monsieur; meanwhile I agree with the excellent M. Claude that the affair should he ^?Pt as secret as possible; rumor will ??eke everything worse than it really and for the sake of " "Adieu, madame; mine Is too terrl affliction to leave room for ttwught about appearances!" cried ??or Lambert, turning away. "Poor unhappy father! all things pardoned to him," said Mad empasslonately to Glynn, who silently and followed his dis tracted friend. bureau do la surete, remained outside, slowly pac lac the aLreet; and while he waited, ???jaewhat to his surprise he saw come out from a different <fc>or to that by which Lambert had ?etered. He was accompanied by a ??an In uniform, and walked briskly *"ay. In the same direction in which Clrnn was sauntering; but as they "were considerably ahead of him, it *** useless to attempt pursuit. J*e wished Lambert would volun tarily confide to him the secret of his to Deering. He felt an un .nbsiiIi^ conviction that the extra- i ? ordinary disappearance of Elsie was | ' some way connected with it. 'Slnso went slowly, painfully; but at * sergeant de vllle approach minted him, saying. "Will mon r give himself the trouble to en ke Chef wishes to speak to kla" ^ TJIynn followed readily, and found dsusde alone. "Monsieur Lambert awaits you In aa ante-chamber," said the grave chef; "you will soon be at liberty to Joia him. Meanwhile you will have mm objection to answer a few ques ?loaa" He proceeded to put a few lf ?lng queries as to Glynn'B position *?d <hx.b (ration, the origin of his ac ^ealatance with Lambert, Its re aawal. his knowledge of Deering and Vincent, and their connection with ifaiher and daughter. The astute chef was courteous though searching, and meditated for a moment or two, said. "I should recommend your ?adwtslng your friend to conflde every fkramlanes connected with his daughter to me. He Is keeping some thing back, nnd that something nulll ?ee all our efforts." "I think he must havo told you everything, especially connectcd with Ma daughter." There is j?rnnll chance of success If he does not." "I suppose you have no Intelll -ee as yet?" said Glynn. Tills is all wo have discovered," ??Id Mr. Claude, throwing open the doors of a large armoire, or clothes ?****. and there hung, In ghastly mocfcery. the pretty white ball dres* which had s;? delightfully become the wearer. Its bouquets of wild flowers ?reshr*i and flattened, and a long re Wing stain of half-dried mud along mm?. of ,ho crcaniy silk. "Good God!" exclaimed Glynn, run? back horror-struck. "Where ? where did you find this?" ?One of our men found It near the de L'Alma early this morning, -??e! here I. where the lace and knot w rtoben were torn away. There It ?a other mark or violence. The In tention evidently was to throw the ??reel (It was tightly rolled up) Into ?ke Seine; but It fell short, and the ,ow- You recognize the "Tee; and now?" "HMrta proves nothing," said the lm wterbable M. Claude. "The dres* was deliberately thvown away, elthet to divert attention on a wrong scent .er almnly to get rid of an encum . iMrance." "Then you have not advanced sine* -yesterday?" "Not much. I have found that M. Vincent Is at. Bordeaux, but alone.** "And have you seen M. Deerlng?" said Glynn, quickly. ??Yes,'* returned M. Claude, looking at him for an lnatant. "He came to seek tiding* of the missing young lady, in whom he seems eeply in terested." "You do not. then, bellfevo that any great crinio has been committed, he faltered. "All things are possible, but I hope that before many days are over you will hear from the young lady her self. I believe It Is an unusually clever case of elopement. I hav? communicated with the English po lice; but" ? an eloquent shrug ? "they have fewer facilities than we. My telegram yesterday was too late to catch the Dover mall boat ? not that I think it was of much conse 1 quence, for " His reason was never uttered; a tap at the door Interrupted him. He rose, took a dispatch from the hands of a messenger. Closing the door, he read it, and then with a grim smile, said: "My suspicions are not far wrong. The young lady is safe and well at Bordeaux ? and not alone." ?What does your employe say?" cried Glynn, not much comforted by the announcement. "Read for yourself," said M. Claude, handing the telegram to him. Glynn eagerly scanned the lines. "Young English or American lady answering to description arrived here last evening; is staying at The Lion d'Or, on the quay. Has been visited by the captain of an American steam er and another man. Father must come at once and identify her, or .she may escape." "This is some mistake." said Glynn the words dancing before his eyes. "This cannot be Miss Lambert." "It is most unlikely that my col league at Bordeaux should be In err or. He is one of the shrewdest em ployes of the surete. At all events we must Inform the father." He rang, and desired that M. Lam bert should be recalled. Glynn was Infinitely touched by the dulled, help less look of the once bright, alert Lambert. He watched him read the telegram, and an expression of pleas ure gleamed in his eyes. "This is a chance, anyhow," ho exclaimed. "Of course I'll go. When is the next train?" The detective watched him curi ously. "But, Lambert." exclaimed Glynn, in English, "you surely do not be lieve thiB can be your daughter? You do not think that delicate, tender creature would fly from you to meet men of whom you know nothing?" "Maybe I do," said Lambert, "and maybe I don't. Drowning men clutch at straws. I'll go. anyway." He swayed slightly as he spoke, and caught Glynn's arm. "It is more than he can bear," said M. Claude, with a rare gleam of feeling. I will telegraph to r.'.y col league to meet you at the Gare. The mail train leaves at six. You will bo in Bordeaux about noon to-morrow. I You will, I trust, need no further sistance from my department. I wlsv you good morning, gentlemen." He opened the door politely, ai d they went forth. "Lambert," ssid Glynn, as he sup ported his friend's unsteady atepr, "you are not fit to travel alone. I will go with you." "I'm better," returned Lambert, withdrawing his arm. "and I thank you from the bottom of my heart; but I'd rather go alone. If ? If ? oh! great heavens! ? She mightn't like to see you, Glynn. No, no," with in creasing decision, "I would rather go alone, and I will sond you word what I find. You have been wonderfully good to me, and you know what she was ? Is. Why do I despair? If ? oh, If," with sudden fury, "I ever get my grip on the infernal villain that drove her to this, he'll have seen the last of light, and go down to darkness forever. There, I don't know what I am talking about. My head seems all wrong." "You had better let me go with you, Lambert. Believe me, you are not fit to go alone, and you must keep well, at any rate, till you recover or rescue your daughter." "Recover her! Ay, that I will," standing still suddenly. "Do you think I'm not proof against every thing till I find her? and then ? and then, when she Is safe, I have done my work, and I'll rest ? ay, rest well and long. But I'll make this Jour ney nlone." , There was nothing for it but to give up all thoughts of persuading him. The hours wWch succeeded, how slowly, yel swiftly, tliey dragged their torturing length! Still, fast or slow, the hours went by. Glynn was finally overcome with fatigue and sleep, so enjoyed a few hours of blessed oblivion. Ho woke with a startled sense of wrong-doing In having forgotten even for a moment the awful uncertainty that had laid its curse upon him, and collecting his thoughts, remembered his surprise at not having received a telegraphic message from Lambert. True, ho might not have succeeded at once In seeing his supposed daugh ter. The PTpTt^d o?nminlrnt|on enme. however, before he sallied forth to renew tho restless round of yester day "Officer mistaken. A fresh track. Am off to Marseilles. Will write." In s sense this was s relief; but Msrscllles? that seemed the most un likely place to find the object of their search. However, all places were un likely. Lambert had better keep at hand in Paris. He would write and beg him to return. Glynn had taken his hat and was at the door, ?vhen some one knocked, tnd DMrtng entered. well dressed, iool, diatlagiitshwl-tooklng, u tvw, out with a somewhat haggard aspect, uid a set. sinister expression about sis mouth. *1 suppose you have heard nothing fresh? no discovery of any clue to the whereabouts of Lambert's daugh ter?" he asked. "Nothing. Her father went down to Bordeaux yesterday at the sugges tion of M. Clsude to Identify a girl described as resembling Miss Lam bert. I have just had this telegram from him." "Ha!" said Deertng. on reading it. "I doubt if Lambert will afford M. Claude mu?h assistance. I fancy some of his raffish associates have carried off the y,oung lady, and he is too much in their power to be ver^ earnest about discovering or punish ing them.^' - ? V "Have you suggested this idea to the chef de la surete?" asked Glynn coldly. "Why should you think so?" "Because he talked to me of Lam bert's concealments as militating against the success of the search, just after you left him." Deerlng's brows met In a fierce, quick frown, and then resumed their ordinary haughty composure. "Yes; I thought It well to warn him. I am even now endeavoring to sift a curi ous story about Lambert; It may be true, but I am a good deal concerned at this disappearance of his daugh ter. and I think so are you. 8he Is a fascinating morsel of female flesh, and it is maddening to see the price you had marked for your own carried off under your very eyes. Really there Is no line deep enough to fathom a woman." "I never marked Miss Lambert as my own," said Glynn angrily. "I ob ject to your mode of mentioning her. I do not believe ttat Miss Lambert left her home willingly, unless de coyed by false pretences." "Be that as it may, I would give a good deal to know where she Is. I believe she Is In England; she. was brought up there. I believe. Well, I cross to-nlght, and will set the police at work so soon as I get to London. Shall you be much longer here?" "My movements are uncertain," re turned Glynn stiffly. "You'll wait and assist the be reaved father, I presume," said Deer Ing. with an unpleasant smile. "By the way, Vincent has returned, and Is awfully cut up about the affair. Vincent was. 1 fancy, a suitor; might have been a decent match for Miss Lambert; he is a shrewd fellow. But you are In a hurry, I will not detain you." He bid Glynn "good-morning" with curious friendliness, and left him half-maddened with torturing waves of doubt, which seemed rising on all sides. Another long miserable day. No letter from Lambert, and fail ure In an attempt to see the chef de la suretc completed the day's trials. The fourth morning brought Lam bert's promised letter. The girl sup posed to resemble Elsie was a rouged modeste, with dyed hair and rather good blue eyes, the only real point of resemblance. "The reasons for his expedition to Marseilles were too nu merous for a letter," Lambert wrote. "He had some faint hopes of suc cess, and would tell all when he re turned. if Glynn was still In Paris." If! how could he tear himself away till this cruel mystery was cleared up? In the porter's lodge, as he passed out, Glynn found a police agent with a message ? Could he come soon to the Bureau de la surete? Me le chef I wished to speak with him. Glynn's reply was to hail a fiacre, and making the agent come with him, drove at once to the bureau. "So the commiBsaire at Bordeaux was mistaken," said M. Claude. "That Is the difficulty of descriptions, even photographs sometimes deceive. I am having several copies made of mademoiselle's, and Bhall send them to the principal towns." He paused, and looked at Glynn, said: "I do not approve this demarche to Marseilles; M. Lambert should have confided his reasons to us. He cannot work In dependently; but he will make noth ing by his Journey. Were he here ? there is a fresh and more hopeful r*. port from Bruges this morning." "And it is?" exclaimed Glynn, leaning forward in his chair, quiver ing with anticipation. To be Continued. Pierce's Arrest Urged. Fort Worth, Tex., Special. ?
