Advertising Section Wimzm The Fangs of the Leopard {Continued from page 97) The studio, its lamps lit again, was bare and empty as a tomb. There was no trace of Mona. Yet she had not passed the two detectives, who guarded the door : the only entrance to the studio. No one had come out . . . and no one had gone in. Papa Gaillard was gotten from his dinner, Rutledge and Ted were recalled; a cordon of police was thrown about the district. But a search of the studio, of the streets, of the houses on the streets, yielded nothing but blank emptiness. Mona was gone. "The Leopard, Messieurs," said the Marquis, "has sprung once more." All thru the night the search went on, and all thru the night no clue was found, until at last, as the clocks boomed out the hour of one, the three men went their separate ways. But just as they parted, the Marquis made a sudden exclamation. "That Lalou ! Messieurs, I had forgotten until now, but as I drove up to the studio, I fancied I saw him slinking away into the shadows." It was the next morning before they met again, and the newspapers of Paris had caught up the crime and made it a cause celebre. By chance, Ted and Rutledge, worn from their separate searches of the night, arrived just as the fat Prefect of Police got down from his car, puffing. He nodded to them, and then turned to the detectives who guarded the door. "Mes enfants, nothing of importance has occurred?" "Nothing, Monsieur, save that the men came for the furniture of the Marquis and removed it." Ted nodded sleepily. He was not interested in the furniture of the Marquis. What he wanted to know was why the police did not find Mona. "Ah I" said the Prefect of Police, stroking his white goatee, "it will do its owner very little good, I fear. The body of Monsieur le Marquis was found floating in the Seine at dawn ! It was horribly mutilated as tho by the fangs of some savage beast !" Ted gasped, and the Prefect, who had so far been as slow and deliberate as an ancient ox, suddenly spun about, and beckoned to his men. "Monsieur Rutledge," he snapped, "you are under arrest !"
