A rough fellow, It Is true, but one with
his heart In the right place, and born
In the district, too; anyone could tell
that by the contemptuous way with

outside this corner o f Hein* et Oise.
He was listened to with great alien

presently carried all the more weight
because something very strange came
to ligh t It appeared that the dili
gence from Molsson with prisoner* and
escort had made a halt of several
hours In Mantes. The party only made
s fresh start In the late afternoon.
\ That was strange enough. I d all con
science I Wbat did It mean but that
Lauxet was courting th* darkness for
his achemes? But there was some
thing more mysterious still. While the
diligence stood before the posting Inn
ready to sta rt horses pawing and
champing, tha driver on his box, whip
In band, the four troopers who wera
on guard to right and left o f the
vehicle would not allow anyone to
come within measurable distance of
tt Be It noted that all the blinds of
the coach were drawn so that It was
Impossible to get ■ peep at the In
side. But two young men, strangers
to the neighborhood, who had since
come forward, eager to tell their story,
more venturesome than others, had
crept onder th* horses' bellies and
| tried to peer Into the Interior o f th«
coach. They were almost Immediately
driven away with blows and curses
j by the troopers, hut not before they
had vaguely perceived that there were
| more than Just the prisoners Inside
j the diligence.
The prisoners were all huddled up
In the farthest corner o f the vehicle,
but thers were others. The young
men who had had a peep, despite the
blows from the troopers, had seen
three or four men at least. They
might have been ordinary traveler*
who hnd picked up tbs diligence at
Mantes. But In that case, why all
this secrecy? Why the drawn blinds,
the start I d the tote afternoon so that
the shades o f evening would actually
be drawing In when the diligence and
; Its escort plowed Its way through the
muddy road of the forest between
Mexleres end Epone? Why s feeble

as many as eight or ten picked troop
ers of the national guard had ridden
beside the diligence?
Indeed, the drover from Alncourt
was right. Indubitably right Cltlxen
Lauxc-t and his friend from Paris had
entered Into a plot, a dastardly, cow
ardly plot, to cheat the cltlxen* ot
Molsson o f their Jnst share In the cap
ture o f the Scarlet Pimpernel. There
was no doubt that the Scarlet Pim
pernel was already captured, and that
I^uset was having him conveyed In
secret to Paris. The escort might ap
pear feeble, but there were men In
side the diligence who held the Eng
lish spy, bound hand and foot, be
tweeD them with a cocked pistol at hi*
head. Why I The two young stran
gers who bad succeeded In getting a

quite thought, from the description
every one had of him, that one o f the
men whom they glimpsed was In very
truth the Scarlet Pimpernel.
“ He was so tall." they said, “ so tall
that he had to sit almost bent double,
otherwise tils bead would have knocked
against the roof of the coach !* They
were almost prepared to swear also
that this tall man's hands were tied
together with ropes.
After that, as th# driver from Aln
court very properly said, any man
would be s fool who doubted 1-auxet's
treachery and cupidity. It wns re
solved to proceed Immediately In his
wake, to seize him wherever be might

that the men of M o I ssod and Mantes

the torrential rain had ceased, but
there w iis a thin mlst-llke drixxle that
soaked through the men's dom ing and
chilled them to the bone. The tension
hnd become acute. With nerves on
edge the men, those who were In the
open as well as those who were cooped
up Inside the diligence, could do noth

on and the shades o f evening drew In

The silence In the woods was full ot
sounds; o f the cracking o f twigs, the
full o f rnln-laden leaves, the scrunch
ing o f earth under tiny, furtive feet
srorrylng away through the under
growth. The great, awkward diligence
loomed out o f the mist like some
gigantic, spectral erection, peopled by
forms that breathed and lived and
hardly emitted a sound. Only very oc
casionally from the Interior there
came the painful moan, quickly sup
pressed. from th# poor Invalid's
parched throat.

from the direction o f Mexleres. The
men sat up, alert, quivering with ex
citement, their eyes straining to pierce
the thicket, since the sharp bend In
the road hid the oncomera from v<ew.
The order was to feign Inattention,
to wait for the attack, lest the Wily
enemy scenting a trap scampered
away to safety. And the men waited,
very much like greyhounds held in
leash, quivering with eagerness, their
hot, moist bands grasping saber and
pistol, the while Captain Itaffet, as
keenly alert as they, carried on a
