Thn vUlt to M. Kauvel waa vary RtlfT
and formal. Only n few wnrda wore ex
changrt.1 between tho banker and M.
Verduret, who wna Introduced aa a rela

thn nnirn.
"I hope, you am aatUIUd, moiikleiir."
Prnaper anld, In a gloomy tone, whan
they readied the atrcet, "you exacted
thla painful atep, and I could only ac
juleaca. Horn I gained anything by
adding thla humiliation to the othere
which 1 barn anffurod?"
"You have not, but I bar," replied
M Verduret. "I could find no way of
gaining rcra to M. Kauvel, aarn
through you; and now I have found out
what I wanted to know, I am convinced
that M. Kauvel had nothing to do with
th robbery."
Proaper and hla companion had atop
ped to talk more at their eaaa near tha
rorntr nf the Hue LafHta. M. Verduret
eemed to ba nuxloui, and waa ronatnut
ly Ifxiklng around as If he expected aome
one. He aoon uttered an exclamation of
aatlafartlon. At the other end of tha
vacant apace he aaw Cavalltnn, who waa
bareheaded and miming. He waa ao ex
cited that ha did not even stop to ahaka
hand with Proaper, but darlrd up to M,
Verduret and aid:
"They have gona, monlenr. They
went about n quarter of nn hour ago."
"Then wa have not an Instant lo loe,"
and he handed Cavnlllon a note he bad
written aoms bourn befor at Proiper'a

"Here, nd him thla, and then return

"Ho It aem," answered M. Vardumt,
with a amlle; "but w bare no time to
talk; coma on, hurry!" And he eel the
example by striding rapidly toward tha
Hue Lafayette. He suddenly stopped
before a door hearing the number PI.
"We are golnu In here," b said to
Prosper; "come."
They went lip the atep, and etopped
on tb second floor, before a door over
which was a large sign, "Fashionable
Dremeker." A handaome bellrope hung
on the wall, but M. Vcnluret did not
touch It. Ha tapped with tho knuckle
In a peculiar way, and the door Instantly
opened aa If koine one had been watching
for his signal on the other aide. Tha
door waa opened by a neatly dreed
woman of about forty. Khe quietly ush
ered M. Verduret and Prosper Into a
neat dining room with several doom
opening Into It. M. Verduret asked, In
a low tone, pointing to one of the doom:
"In thrrer
"No," said the woman, In the aamo
ton, "over there, In the little parlor."
M. Verduret opened tho door pointed
nut, and pushed Proaper Into the little
parlor, whispering as he did so:
"(Jo In, and keep your presence of
mind."
Hut this Injunction waa useless. The
Inatalit he cat bl eyta around the room
Into which he had ao unceremoniously

"Madeleine!"
It waa Indeed M. Fauvel'a niece, look
ing more beautiful than ever. Htandlng
In the middle of the room, near a table
corerol wllh ellUa and satlna, aha waa
arranging a aklrt of red velvet embroid
ered In gold. At alght of Prosper all
the blood rushed to her fare, aud her
beautiful eyea half closed, as If aha were
about tn faint. She recovered from her
momentary weaknesa, and the soft ex
presaiou of her eyea changed to one of
haughty resentment. In an offended tone
khe aald:
"You promised m upon your honor,
monsieur, that you would never again
aeek my presence. la this the wny you
keep your word T"
"I did promise, mademoiselle, bat so
many things have happened alnca that
terrible day that I think I am excusa
ble In forgetting, for one hour, an oath
torn from me In moment of blind weak
ness. It Is to chance, at least to another
will than my own, that I am Indebted
for th happiness of once mom finding
myself near you. Alasl the Instant I
saw you my heart bounded with Joy, I
did not think no, 1 could not think
that you would prove mom pitiless than
strangers have been, and cast me off
when I am ao miserable and htart
brokun." "You know me well enough, Prosper,
to be sura that no blow can strike you
without reaching mo at the same time.
You eu(Ter, I auffer with youj I pity you
aa a sister would pity a beloved brother,"
"A slater!" anld Prospur, bitterly,
"Yea, that waa the word you used the

hopes) Wns I a brothor to you the day
when, at thn fool of the altar, wo sworn
to lovo each other forever, nnd you

Madeleine attempted to Interrupt him

OIIAPTKII XIJ.
Aa whl to and motionless as a statue,
Madelelno atood with bowed head bflfore
the storm of passionate reproach.
"Prosper, my brother, my friend, If
you only knew "
"I know but one tiling, Madeleine, and
that Is that you no longer love me, and
that I Mvo yon more madly than ever.
Oh, Madeleine, haafen only kuowa bow
I lov you!"
He wna silent. He hoped for an an
swer. None enme. Hut auddenly tha al
ienee wa broken by a stilled eob. It
was Madeleine's maid, who, seated In a
corner, wna weeping bitterly. He turned
In surprise, and looked nt tho weeping
woman; thla neatly dressed waiting maid
waa Nina Oypsy.
Proaper waa o startled thnt he became
perfectly dumb. He atood them with
ashy lips, nnd a chilly sensation creeping
through his reins. Meanwhile Madeleine
had auccceded In recovering her usual
calmness. Blowly and almost unconsci
ously aha had put 011 her bonnet and
ebnwl, lying on tha aora, men sn ap
proached Prosper and aald:
"I wish to tell you that I ham for
gotten nothing. Hut, oh! let not thla
knowledge give you any hope, the future
la blank for us; but If you love mo you
wilt live. You will not, I know, add to
my already heavy burden of sorrow, tha
agony of monrnlng your death. For my
aake live; live th life of a good man,
and perhaps the day will come when I
can Justify myself In yonr eyes. And
now. oh. mr brother, oh. my only friend,
adieu! adieu!"
Hhe pressed a kiss upon his brow, and
r-i.itM.t (mm ib tYwim. followed br Nina
Oypsy. Prosper waa alone. H seemed
to lie awaking from a troumeo orenm.
II tried to think over what had Just
happened, nnd aaked himself If he were
losing hla mind, or whether he hnd really
spoken to Madeleine, and aeon Oypsy.
He waa obllgod to attribute all thla to
the mysterious power of the strange man
whom he had seen for the first time that
very morning, and who had entered the
little parlor.
"1 thank yon for your past services,
monsieur," said Prosper to blm. "and de
cline them for th future, as I hav no
need of them. If I attempted to defend
my honor and my life It waa becauae I
hoped thnt Madeleine would b reatored
to be. I have been convinced to-day thnt
all la at nn end between ua; mtlm from
the etruggle, and cam not what becoraea
of me now."
Prosper waa so decided that M. " er
duret seemed alarmed.
"Yon must be mad," he flnnlly aald.
"No, unfortunately I am not. Made
leine haa ceased to love me. and of what
Importance I anything else?"
"Do you suspect nothing? you did not
see what waa hidden beneath her words?
Prrhapa It waa not a delicate thing to
do, but aa long aa the object la good w
need not look too closely at the meane.
I listened, and l am giau mat 1 urn,
because now I can aay to you. Take
courage, Prosper; Madeleine lovea you:
ahe hat never ceased to lovo you."..
Like a man who, feeling himself at
the point of death, ptlta fnltli In the doc
tora promises, Prosper aaw ray of
hope In M. Verdurefa positive assertions.
"Oh," he murmured, suddenly calmed,
"If I could only believe"
"Hellove me. I am not mistaken. Ah,
you hnvo not guessed, aa I did, the auf
ferlnga of this generous girl, struggling
between her lovo aud what she believes
to be her duty. Did not your heart bound
nt her words of farewell? Bhe la not,
free. In recalling her promise to you
h nhavMl a sunerior. Irresistible will.
She sacrificed herself, for whom? We
shall eoon know, and the eecret of her
aelfaacriflc will reveal to us tha secret
of the plot of which you am tha victim."

Four boys, averaging about 10 yearn

treaaurer and tax collector, leading
with them a timid canine n black nnd

"Yes, my lad," was tho reply,
"Well, you see, it's tills way we
scant a license tajr for this dog. He
nln't got no home, and we'ro adopted
him. Wo've named him Jack."
Upon Inquiry It wns learned that thi
dog had been wandering around, and
that tho poundman had made aereral
unsuccessful attempts to catch tha
nameleas canine, but tho boys with
whom tho animal had made friends
could handle hi in at will. Finally they
took pity upon Jack because of the
scares the poundman gavo him, and
raised 0110 dollar and a half among the

to buy a license tug for the canine.
