urges the French government to

“closest to the camp. and they can be
' rwovered! He is persistsnt on this
point. as be is insistent on the hot
that his death is near and inevitable.
and as he is insistent on the fidelity
of the three men with him.
‘And when on the (allowing day.
as Leturc reported. he coined the
Finn's rifle and shot himself. the
men were. of course. convinced that
he was mad.“
There came a sudden vigor into
Monsieur Jonuuclle's voice.
“But be was not mad! Don’t you
see. Excellency. that the whole nab
rative ot the journal was an 2-1-
monso cipher? Don't you see what
the man was doing?"
The voice beyond Monsieur Jon‘
quelle. in the darkness 0: tho not~
tics. boomed i1. s sudden big explo-
tive. There was the sound at a
doubled fist crushed into the palm of
rind s number of its companions. al-
though the man Leturc. who was al-
ways with him. sec-ms never to bsvc
observed it.
"lie was also able to discover. al-
though he does not give all the do
mile of that discovery in the jour-
nal. that these creatum lived under-
ground. and that one at their undo:~
mound cities was very close to the
lWimp. He ban. in fact. by some
sinister hazard. put down Us mp
almost at the doorway of the under-
ground habitat at these extraordi-
nary beings—it one could call a
creature of this character s being

"Now. these are among the din-
r.n:uishing incidents at Chauvauncs'

overturned stones on the Congo. He
knew he would never :omo out alive.
and be worked out the cipher in this
journal to show where the emeralds
were concealed. so the French su-
tborlties could recover them. And
he worked out all the detnlls to be
lure that the journal would finally
get into Paris. It's wonderful! It's
amazing!"
He beat his let with bi. bl: band.
thumping it as one might thump
grist in a. has.
“I never dreamed that that was
what the man was after. I thought
he was mad!"
“Surely. “ replied Handout Jon-
quella. "It was the first impression
of everybody. But he was not mad.
He was merely making a great
cipher with all the details at this
Journal.
“He knew there was no chance
that he would ever come out alivol
But he wished to rob thus asasains
or the treasure which they coveted.
and he wished the record at his an

emeralds to reach France. He that

deserved. He foresaw that Di: and

tion of Onsuvsnnca on the morning
of their return. This was established
by the fragmentary confession of tho
Apache Leturc, shortly betoro ho
was executed.”
Monsieur Jonqueno stopped.
”I maintain. Excellency. that this
whole journal is the finest example
at code writing that was ovu- under-
taken in the world.”
