IN "Alias the Lone Wolf," a serial by Louis Joseph Vance
now appearing in Cosmopolitan, Michael Lanyard, alias
"The Lone Wolf," once a notorious Parisian criminal,
but now a valued member of the British Secret Service, em
ploying his leave of absence to make a walking tour in the
Cevennes of Southern France, meets under romantic cir
cumstances Madame Eve de Montalais, an American girl,
widow of a French officer. He rescues her, her mother and
sister-in-law, from an attempt at highway robbery engineered
by their chauffeur, one Dupont, whom Lanyard recognizes as
an apache, and who, of course, promptly disappears.
Escorting the Montalais party to their chateau, Lanyard
there encounters a curious assorted party of motorists seeking
shelter from a storm, Mr. Whitaker Monk and his secretary,
Mr. Phinuit, both Americans and the Comte and Comtesse de
Lorgnes. These gentry deftly guide the conversation to the
magnificent collection of jewels which Eve de Montalais pos
sesses, learn that the jewels are at the Chateau de Montalais,
then go their way.
DUPONT waylays and severely
wounds Lanyard. Rescued by
Eve, Lanyard is nursed back to
health at theJChatcau do Montalais,
and falls in lovo with hor hope
lessly as he believes.
On the eve of his departure the
Montalais jowcIb mysteriously
vanish. Lanyard, knowing that his
identity muse be discovered as noon
as the police are called in, and that
no one will ever believe anybody
but "The Lone Wolf" stole the
jewels, reveals his secret to Eve,
who expresses perfect confidence in
him and even refuses to avail her
self of the services of the police.
Lanyard pledges himself to recover
her jewels, and the better to delude
the real criminals, arranges to "dis
appear" and to be blamed, under
an assumed name he had thus far'
worn, for the robbery.
LEAVING the chateau by night,
J ho sots out for Paris, and en
route fulls in with Dupont, who,
however, does not notice him, and
who it appears is trailing the Comte
do Lorgnes. Tho latter is traveling
alone. On tho arrival of their night
train in Paris, do Lorgnes is found
murdered in his berth and Dupont
has again disappeared.
A tour of all-night restaurants
leads to tho discovery that the self
styled Comtesse de Lorgnes was
really Liane Delorme, a notorious
beauty of the Parisian underworld,
formerly a Quartier Latin model
whom Lanyard had befriended.
Lanyard follows Liane to her home
and Becretly enters tho house just
in time to interfere when Dupont,
treacherously admitted by a house
maid, attempts to assassinate Mile.
Delorme.
AT this point, the installment in
. June Cosmopolitan takes up
the story. The chief interest in
"Alias the Lone Wolf" center
about the Wolf's infatuation for
Eve Montalais, her faith in him nnd
his promise to recover her stolen
jewels.
The trail is long the pursuit
fascinating tho plot thrilling but
through it nil, tho reader wonders
if the Lone Wolf, clever as he is,
will restore the Montnlais jewels to
their rightful owner, and 'how he
will do it if he does.
LOUIS Joseph Vance, author of "Alias the Lone Wolf" has
j solved the mystery in his own way. His solution will
appear in the concluding installment whichuvill be published
in September Cosmopolitan.
But you will have your own ideas as to how the jewels
might be recovered by the Lone Wolf. It is for your skill in
solving this mystery, your talent for writing your solution in
the cleverest, briefest, most concise manner that the pub
lishers of Cosmopolitan offer a total of $5000 in cash awards.

"The cleverer the solutions, the more delighted I shall be."
Publishers, Cosmopolitan:
I beg to acknowledge and to accept
with thanks your kind invitation to act as
one of the judges in the unusual prize con
test you are projecting in connection with
my ALIAS, THE LONE WOLF. I am honour
ed by the opportunity to serve in such
distinguished company, and I am also ex
tremely eager to read, analyze and ponder
the solutions as they come in. It's going to
mean hard work, and I loathe hard work,
is
but the interest attaching to the job
going to compensate in this case.
The everyday prize contest has always
seemed to me a singularly deadly affair; but
the plan you advertise is unique and, taken
together with the tremendous facilities at
your command for putting it before the
public, oughtto arouse nationwide interest.
And I would be an inhuman author did I
find anything objectionable in that?
Furthermore, it's sure to stimulate the
imagination and inventiveness of one of
the most ingenious peoples the world has
ever known; so I shall look forward with
keenest interest to the results, and also
with not a little apprehensiveness. I don't
mind admitting I was a bit proud of my
way of solving the Lone Wolfs problem
and that I am now confidently anticipating
the humbling of my vanity to the dust by
the wits of your readers. For all that, the
more clever they prove in outdistancing my
ingenuity, the more delighted I Bhall be.
