emotion.
"Vou hare profej yourself worthy,"
he aald. "The emirate and devotion you

given you a right to your reward."

lie drew her hand within hli arm and
led ber to the conservatory. They aat
down upon the tame rat where he had
convened with the Vlcomteeae de ValUr.
"We shall not be Interrupted here. I
will tell you a atory if you rare to listen
to It."
"fSo on. monsieur." ahe murmured.
CHAPTER XXIII.
"The atory," began the detective, "li
ot a young lady, a countrywoman of
yours. It waa yeara ago that thtt thine
happened. She was quite handsome, very
youug, very romantic and foolish. When
he waa eichteen yeara of ace she met
aa American. He also waa young, hand
some, but dissolute and entirely unwor
thy ot her love."
Mine. Colbert-Itemplln Inclined her
bead almost imperceutlblr. She waa list-
"eatng to the history of her own life. How
ted thla man brought to light the secret
of the past which bad, years ago, as she
believed, been hidden by the lapse ot
thae."
r "1'leMJng to the American's Importu
nities, this young lady contracted with
him a secret marriage. The result of
their union was a child boy. The
xnarrlsg was concealed successfully
from the young woman's parents. Ily
the connivance of a friend and a pre
tended visit to the country, Its conse
quence were alsq kept secret. Shortly
after the bfrth of her child the young
jyotcan returned to I'arla, where she at
tracted the attention of a very ricft tank
er, who. Ignorant of ber past history,
ought to make ber his wife. It was
mom than probable that the lady would
not bare yielded to the temptation which
was thrust before her but for too things,
first, the discovery that ber nusoand was
a worthless, faithless fellow, second, the
importunities ot ber parent, who at that
time sustained Home financial reverses. It
appears that the banker held ber fath
er's obligation for an enormous amount.
A condition of the marriage was that her
parent should be release!, A divorce was
secretly secured from the first husband."
"Yes, It waa to aave my father," mur
mured Mine. Colbert-Itemplln.
He west on:
There! was a little boy. as I bare said.
the fruit of this unhappy young woman's
union with the American. This child
waa given out to a nurse to take care of.
She was the wife ot a loutish, Industrious
peasant, and of a peasant family herself,
but ahe was beautiful for alt that, a
mora of thoee women are. The American
fell in love with her. He waa called
away to the United States and waa absent
three years. In bis absence something
had happened,"
"What bad happened?" murmured the
woman beside him.
"The child entrusted to the woman's
care bad died. On the American's re
turn to France, she presented her own
child in its place. Her .husband was
dead. There was no one to contradict
A great afgh went up from the heart of
Mme. Colbert-Bemplln.
"Oh I" ahe cried, "can this be true?
My ob dead. How have you learned
this?"
"Madame La Seur, who baa blackmail
ed you systematically, two day ago met
with a fatal accident. Unable to see you,
she sent you in her last momenta a full
confession of the Imposition she bad to
lon; practiced upon you and implored
your forgiveness. ThU wa taken by her

the peasant woman, who was the nurse
of your own child, and whom Henry lira
ham married."
"Hut the extraordinary resemblance!
Aht I tee It all now. Henry llraham
was his father! tt was easy to deceive
both him and me."
"Exactly, and others have been equally
deceived. Though Madame Ia Seur, and
not yourself, waa the mother of the boy,
jet Henry Uraham was his father. Ills
facial characteristics and peculiarities;
are wonderfully reproduced In the person
of his son. There Is but little remaining
to be told. For yourself, you have noth

Inviolate. Hut In case the ties of long
habit or old association ot Idea should
soften you toward this man, whom, up to
a few4 minute ago, you believed to he

Kven you will then admit that the course
of Justice should be no longer stayed."
"What do you mean? I am aware that
If recaptured he Is liable to be returned
to prison. It there aught else?"
The detective leaned forward and laid
his finger ou her arm.
"Did you ever hear of the Houpell mur
der at the Chateau VllleneuveV
"To be sure I did; all Paris was ring
ing with It."
"A defneless woman, honored, respect
ed, beloved, waa ruthlessly murdered In
ber own home."
"Yes."
The murderer ot Madame Houpell was
I'hlllp U Seur. alias Philip Or ham."
He left hrr and went hurriedly to the
door ot the conservatory and passed
thence Into the outer s.ilon. Jules Cha
rot came toward him smiling.
"We have been looking for you. Mon
sieur tasare. I)e Vallar I playing In
great lurk to-night. You're not going to
keep out of the way. He is anxious for

"He shall hare It," responded M. U

Monsieur Colbert-Itemplln and tend him
to look after bis wife. She haa fainted
In the cous-rvatory."
And then be patted on Into the Inner
salon.
"Ah. here you are!" cried the Vicomte
de Vallar. "You have come to give me
my retenge. I hope."
"To any amount," replied the Swiss,
and passing through the fashionable
throng which surrounded the players, he
sealed himself at the card table.
CHAPTER XXIV.
It was past three o'clock. The cordon
of men iu plain clothes which completely
surrounded the house of the Vicomte de
Vallar brgan to grow Impatient. The
first streak of dawn were already visible
In the east.
A few of the guests, among them the
Colbert-Hempliiis, had left some time be
fore. -Hut the majority lingered in the
Inner salon watrlucg with breathless In
terest the progrnw of a game the like ot
which none of them bid ever before wit
nessed. Hut four men remained at the table,
for the stakes had been Increased enor
mously. Those four were llerr (Soldstrin.
Julm Cbabot, the. Vicomte de Vallar and
the Swiss millionaire. The facet of the
combatant, for they were nothing else,
afforded au Interesting study. The coun
tenance of each painfully reflected the
Intense anxiety ot that moment.
Two hundred and twenty-fir thousand
franc lay on the table. No one would
yield and there waa a rait for yrt an
other tucrrae. llerr Ootdstrln, with a
sigh, folded his cards before him with
hi enormous, trembllijg hands,
"I atall myself ot the prlvllrge," he
said, "and withdraw."
Jules Cbabot, who acted aa banker,
then handed the broker thirty-thousand
francs. It was half of his original stake;
the other half of which lay on the table.
"Tills brings our pool down pretty low,"
said the vicomte. "I raise It another
twenty-five thousand francs."
The other two players then each placed
twenty-five thousand franca In the pool.
The spectators could not but notice the
excewsite excitement of Jules Cbabot. Ill
hands also trembled nervously. He held
good cards, but If the betting continued
be must Inevitably drop out.
"I think It I my turn to call," he said
at last. "I have mx choice; I challenge
you. Monsieur I-aiare."
lie put down bis cards and spread them
out before him, the vicomte, according
to the rules of the game, turning hi
head so that be could not see what cards
either of bis adversaries held.
When he again turned to the table
JiiIf Cliabot had left It and M. tazare
was sitting calmly awaiting him, with a
huge heap of notes and gold at his side.
It was Jules Chnhot's share of the pool,
which by right of bis superior hand had
passed into M. I-aiare's possession. The
vlromte was at loss Just exactly what to
do at that moment, lie knew the kind of
a hand he. held was so good there were
but two other combinations which could
beat It. Was It possible that the man
opposite him held such a combination?
Or was he simply trying to frighten him
Into sharing the heavy atakea?
A moment's reflection decided him on
bis course. He had left nearly one hun
dred and fifty thousand francs as yet 03
ataked. II would bet titrj sou of this;
perhaps M. Mrs re would be unable to
cover bis bets, and according to the rules
of the game he waa compelled to do to
or ceaja playing, for the game was what
waa known as an unlimited one. lit look-
I ed Ms opponeut atrrnly In the eye, lie
thought he discerned situs of weakening.
"I Hi jou wish to divide, monsieur?"
"Certainly not!" nunc the quiet n
twer. "I am prepared lo bark my baud.
If your bet."
"I bet fifty thousand fninct."
I "1 raise )ou one hundred Ihi id
i franc." aud he placed that sum ao ou
tha table.
This seemed tu tlngger the Frenchman.
tt was the last money the detective hail,
hut the othor did not know It, M. li'Au
buron's friend wa Indeed a millionaire.
Tht Frenchman arose from the table.
".Monsieur will excuse me for a mo
ment," he said. "1 do but go to an Inner
room to get some morv money."
He shortly reappeared, making his way
through the dense and excited throng
nround the table, with a huge buudle ot
note In hi 'band. They were different
from any which lay on the table! they
were of lb currency ot the second em
plre. The detectlie's eye glistened as he
looked at thrui aud hi heart beat quick
ly,a drawing forth one hundred thousand
franc from the bundle, the Frenchman
covered hi last bet. Torn be added, as
If desperately :
"And I raise It one hundred thousand
franc more."
"I cannot meet tt, monsieur," confessed
the Swiss, "unless jou accept my I.
O. IV
"No, It must lie rash. That I only
fair. I am sorry monsieur ha run be
yond his bank. It Is the rule ot the
game."
The Frenchman bad his opponent fair
f outfeet. Hut the temptation to make
more was strong upon him. The Hwlsa
bad already scribbled an I. (. V., for
fifty thousand franc and pushed It to
ward htm.
The Frenchman was about to play, and
had raised his hand for that purpose
when hi rye caught the queer three-cornered
piece of paper In front ot htm,
"I can't take I. O. IVe." he said. "I
must have absolute security."
Then they saw the Hwlsa take from
the pocket of hi rest a soul! locket and
pas it over to the Frenchman.
"Isn't that good for something, mon
sieur)" With his fsee grown suddenly an asben
gray the ilromte leaned over the table
and almost whispered, aa he clutched the
locket In his shaking fingers r
"Where did you get this?"
The detective leaned forward and pick
ed up one of the note from the vicomte'
bundle.
"From the place where you found thla.
I It enough, or shall I show you some
thing elsel"
"What do you mean? Don't speak out
here before eierybody. Come with me."
The two ptsyer aroet from tlwj table
and, passing out Into the conservatory,
left the money lying on tb table, and a
group of astonished guests looking blank
ly at it.
"They have both been crasy to bid like
Ihi," tald one; "they have tloobties) gone
to make tome arrangemrat together."
They waited for a minute for five
minutes. Still In player did not re
turn. They were Iu the conservatory atlll,
hidden from the eye of tb men. If the
wondering group at the card table bad
been there, this Is what they would have
sen and heard -
They would have hard the vicomte
Imploring vainly for one chance; have
seen him offering all be had to the Swiss
If he wiMild go Imrk. and give him one
opportunity to escape would gtve htm a
bare ten mlnutm' atari.
"It Is more than I can do," replied
the Swiss. "My men surround this houne.
You cannot poiuibly get away. Such
mercy a I may, I give you. It I better
than the guillotine."
He handed the vicomte hit pistol, and.
turning, walked toward the door of the
conservatory.! Only un he looked bark
to see the vlcnmlc standing unsteadily by
the fountain, a horrible etprrsaion upon
his face.
He looked around at the Swiss be
seechingly, but finding nothing there
which might bid him hope, said despair
logly:
"tJood-by; 1 thsnk you even for this."
The Swiss walked on and reached the
door of the conversatory. Its leaned
gainst the lintel of the door and wait
ed. I'ropln were beginning to come and
look for the player. 'Die outer salon
was already crowded.
Suddenly a pistol shot rang out and
echoed through the whole lower floor of
the house. The well-dressed, excited
crowd rushed toward the conservatory.
The Swiss gentleman met Ihem In the
doorway. There was something In bis
fsre that stopped them Irresistibly, on
the very tliri-shold.
"I wouldn't come In, If I were you. The
Vicomte de Vallar haa shot himself. He
was the murderer of Madame Houpell,
tb old lady who lived at Vllltneuve," be
went on to explain.
"Ob, Monsieur !aurel"
"1 am not Monsieur tatare; I am Al
fred Caisagne, the detective."
Then they looked upon him and won
dered why they had not divined It from
the first, for It wa a fare well known
Iu the shop windows of I'arl.
"You had better all go home," he nam
tested, and tbey went slowly away, all
but one passing safely through the cor
don of police.
As Herr Ootdstrln came out with the
rest D'Anburon placed bis hand upon hi
shoulder.
"I want you," lw said.
"Another detective?"
"Yes, another detective,"
They took him away unresistingly, and
Cassagne and D'Auburon went Into the
conservatory together. There across the
coping of the marble fountain, prone on
his face and stone dead, with the blood
ooxlng slowly from n small wound in his
forehead and tinging with rod the green
leaves of the water lilies, lay the body ot
I'hlllp Graham.
Nearly a year bad passed away slace
the death ot I'hlllp Orhm. The Una
trail Vllleueuve, from II long period ot
gloom aud mourning, nwoke one day with
bvlls pealing Joyously from Ita towers,
It parks nnd woodland smiling beneath
the radiance ot the summer mi.
From an early hour old I'lerre, had been
awake, hustling hither and thither, lie
expected visitors, aud long before their
arrival, everything waa Iu readlue for
their reception.
The train from Pari wa In at lat,
a merry group met on the platform, and
It member took carriage for the cha

Mr. and Mr. Van I.lth. Thn third by
the mayor of Vllleneuvo and M. Delorme,
the Justice of the peace, The fourth by
M. D'Auburon and M. Victor Ublnnche,
for the latter wa a magnanimous gen
tleman, and could forgive a victory when
a rival had fairly earned It.
It waa noon. Hrekft was qulta
ready. The finest and oldest wine In
the cellar ot Yllleneuv had been brought
up. The cook were growing nervou.
SHU they did not sit down to the tab).
At last from the window of the great
drawing room they saw another carriage
approaching.
"You may serve breakfast," cried tb

A very dapper, contented looking mor
