He succeeded In convincing her that his life was not in any danger, and he added his entreaties to those of Mme, Edith that she would go away for n little while aud try to get some rest. When the two women bad left us. Ar thur Ranee aud myself turned over our attention to our friend. For bow could a man whom alt of us had be. lleved to be dead and who bad been, with the deuth rattle In his throat, tied up In a Hack and carried away have been able to rise ugnln and step down living from the fateful pnuel? But when we hud opened his shirt uud discovered the bandage which hid the wound thnt he bore In his brenst we recognized that this Injur' Wuh not a very serious one. The bull which hud struck Darzac In the midst of the sav age tight which he had been obliged to make against Larsan had planted Itself In the sternum, causing a bad external hemorrhage and weakening the entire organism, but fortunately suspending none of the vital functions. As we finished the tusk of dressing the wound I heard steps In tho corri dor and a srauge nolse-the sound that one hears when a body Is carried away on a stretcher. Ami I thought of Larsan nnd of the Hack which wan holding now for the second time the body too many." Leaving Arthur Hnnce to wntch ( -r M. Durzuc. I hurried to tho window.

"lie will escape us Ue will get away from us again!" Arthur Itance was the most enraged of us all. Mme. Edith, who was cling ing to my arm, drove her finger nails Into my hand iu a paroxysm of uurv ous fear. None of us paid uny beed to the Lady iu Black and Itobert Dur zac. who in the midst ot this tempest seemed to have forgotten everytblug even the clamor and confusion arouud them. Neither one bad spoken a word, but they were looking luto each oth er's eyes as though they bad discov ered another world the world which Is love. But they bad not discovered it; they had merely found It again, thanks to Rouletabllle. The latter had opened tho door of the corridor and summoned the three domestics to our assistance. They en tered with their rifles. But It was axes that were needed. The door was solid and barricaded with heavy bolts. Pere Jacques went out and fetched a beam, which served us as a battering ram. Each of us exerted all his strength, and finally we saw the door beginning to give way. Our anxiety was at Its height. Wheu the door bad commenced to yield, Rouletabllle directed the serv ants to take up their guns, with the order, however, that the weapons were to be used only in case It should be Impossible to capturp Lnrsiiu living.

To do this tho signature of a rnlutlvo Is required and of a doctor. Larsan Induced Brl gnolles to give his name and himself forged that of a famous alienist.
