    I Secret of tbe Plundered Sife j
By EMILE GABORXAU I
--n.
CHAPTER XXI. fContlnu-d.)
But in th middle of th ulght all the
symptoms suddenly changed for th
om. The pain in th head was sne
reeded by fearful oppression, aud the
aick miin thus suffered torture trying to
get hi breath: daybreak found him still
tossing restlessly from pillow to pillow.
When the doctor came early in the
morning he appeared yery much surpris
ed at this change for the worse. He in
quired If they had not administered an
overdose of morphine. Manuel said that
lie had put the blister on his master, and
the doctor's directions had been accu
rately followed.
The doctor, after bavin examined
Menoul, and found his breathing hesvy
and irregular, prescribed a hoary dose
of sulphate of quinine; he then retired,
aying he would return the next day.
But Menoul grew no better. In spite
of the most careful nursing his symp
toms changed, but showed no improve
pient. Each attack was more violent
than the preceding.
On the fourteenth day of his Illness,
after lying in a stupor for several hours,
he revived sufficiently to make Louis
promise to carry on the ironworks, em
braced hira for the last time, and sunk
bark on his pillow In a dying state.
Now, Louis was in reality a million
aire. Two weeks later, having made
drangements with the engiueer In
charge of the Iron works to attend to
everything during his absence, he took
lils seat in the train for Paris. He had
sent the following telegram to Raoul
the night' previous:
"I will see you to-morrow."
CHAPTER XXII.
Although now immensely rich, M. de
Clameran resolved to make no change
in his style of living, but returned to his
apartments at the Hotel du Louvre.
Louis' dream, the height of his ambition,
was to be ranked among the great man
ufacturers of France. He was prouder
of being .called "iron-founder" than of
his marqulaate. Louis now thirsted for
the homage of the world. All the badly
digested humiliations of the past weigh
ed upon him. He had suffered so much
contempt and scorn from his fellow men
that he burned to avenge himself. Af
ter a disgraceful youth he longed to live
respected and honored old age.
The 6 ret interview between the accom
plices took place at the Hotel da Louvre.
Raoul, having a practical turn of mind,
said he thought they both ought to be
contented with the result already obtain
ed, and that it would be folly to try and
grasp anything more.
"What more do we want?" he asked
his nncle. "We now possess over a mill
Jon; let os divide it, and keep quiet. We
lad better be satisfied with oar good
luck, and not tempt Providence."
But this moderation did not suit
Louis.
"I am rich," he replied, "but I desire
more than wealth. 1 am determined to
marry Madeleine; I swear she shall be
love her; and then, as the nephew of the
most eminent banker in Paris, I at once
gain high position and public considera
tion." "I tell you, uncle, your courtship will
involve you in great risks."
f "I don't care if It does. I choose to
run tbem. My intention Is to share my
triune with yoa; but I will not do so
till the day after my wedding. Made
leine's fortune will then be yours."
"Yoa don't seem to anticipate any
difficulty In carrying out your wishes,"
lie aaid, discontentedly; "how are yoa
to account for your suddenly acquired
fortune V
"The banker, his wife and Madeleine
tnust be Informed that Menoul of Oloion
wished to leave bis fortune to our fam
ily. Five days hence I will call on M.
Kauvel, and confirm the notification sent
Lim by my notary at Oloron that the
money deposited in the bank now be
longs to me. I will ask him to keep the
money until I call for it, as I have no
occasion for it at present Yon, who
are so distrustful, my good nephew, may
regard this deposit as a guarantee of my
sincerity."
"We will talk of that another time.
Go on."
"Then I will go to Mme. Fauvel and
say: 'Being very poor, my dear madam,
necessity compelled me to claim )our
assistance in the support of my brother's
son, who is also yours. This youth is
worthless and eitravsgsnt.' "
"Thsoka, my good uncle."
"He has poisoned your life when he
should have added to your happiness. He
is a constant anxiety and sorrow to your
maternal heart. I hsve come to offer
my regrets for your past trouble and
to assure you that you will have no an
noyance in the future. I am now rl'h,
and henceforth take the whole responsi
bility of Raoul upon myself. I will pro
vide handsomely fur him.
"Is that what you call a scheme?"
"Yon will see whether It Is or not
After listening to this speech, Madame
Kauvel will feel Inclined to throw herself
In my anus by way of expressing her
gratitude and Joy. She will refrain
l.owever. on account of her niece. She
will ask me to relinquish my claim on
Madeleine's hsnd, now that I am rich,
1 will roundly tell her, No. Cha has been
promised to me, and I must Insist upon
this one article of our agreement This
must be the price of my silence. And,
to prove that I am not Influenced by
fortune, I glva you my aacred promise
that the dsy after the wedding I will
settle on Raoul twenty-five thousand per
annum.
Louis expressed himself with such
convincing candor that Itaol, an artist
In knavery, was charmed and astonished
"Beautifully done," he i-rlsd, clapping
liis bands with glee. "That last sen
tonce will create a rhsstn between Mad
tun Fsuvel and her niece. The promise
of a fort una for me will certainly bring
my tnniber over to our side."
I imp so, sum i.oun, with pre
tended modesty. "Rut remember )ou
luust scoru to receive any assistance
from in. l ou must declara that you
will brsva all privations, want, famine
even, rather than accept a sou from
base man whom you halt ami despise.
Hut you know exactly what you art to
ay. I can rely upon yoa for good act
ing." "No on ran surpass rue when I am in
terested In my psrt."
"But this disinterestedness need not
prevent you front resuming your dissipa
tions. You must gamble, bet, snd lose
more money thsn you ever did before.
You must increase your demands, and
say that you must have mouey at all
cost You need not account to me for
any money you can extort from her."
"I can promise you, no time shall b
wasted."
"Now listen to what yon are to do,
Raoul. Before the end of three months
you must have exhausted the resources
of these two women. You must force
from them every franc they can raise, so
that they will be wholly unable to pro
cure money to supply your increasing de
mands. In three months I must find
them penniless, absolutely ruined, with
out even a jewel left"
Raoul was startled at the passionate
vindictive tone of Louis' voice aa he
uttered these last words.
"The day on which you lead Mme.
Fauvel and her niece to the extreme of
the precipice, pointed out its dark depths,
and convinced them that they are Irre
trievably lost, I shall appear, and res
cue them. Why, it will be the crowning
scene of our drama. I will play my
part with such graudeur, such lofty mag
nanimity, that Madeleine will be touch
ed, will forget her past enmity, and re
gard me with favorable eyes. When she
finds that It is her sweet self, and not
her money, that I want, she will soften.
No true woman can be indifferent to a
grand passion. I dou't pretend to say
that she will love me at first; but, if
she will only consent to be mine, I ask
for nothing more."
Raoul was shocked at this cold-blooded
perversity of his uncle, but Clameran
showed his Immense superiority in viok
tdness, and the apprentice admired the
master.
"Yoa would certainly succeed, nncle,"
he said, "were it not for the cashier.
Between you and Madeleine, Prosper
will always stand: if not in person, cer
tainly in memory."
"I don't mind Prosper or attach any
importance to him."
"But she loves him."
"So much the worse for him. Six
n-onths hence she will dlspise him. He
is already morally ruined, and at the
proper time I will make an end of Mm
socially. With your aid I will so cover
him with disgrsce and infamy that Mad
eleiue will drive every thought of him
from her mind, and her love will turn
to hate."
Louis tone of rage and vengeance
startled Raoul and made him regard the
affair in a worse light than ever.
"Yon have given me a dastardly role
to play," he said, after a loug pause.
Still, 1 have never been rich enouch to
be honest, but I must sav it aoes hard
ith ma to torture two defenseless.
of a poor fellow who regards nie as his
best friend. It is a low business."
"You are the most absurd, ridiculous
fool I ever met," cried Louis. "An op
portunity occurs for us to make an Im
mense fortune. All we have to do Is to
stretch out our hands and take it, when
you must needs prove refractory, like a
whimpering baby. I suppose yon prefer
theft on a small scale, stealing by drib
lets. And where will your system lead
you? To the almshonse or the police
station. You prefer living from hand to
mouth, supported by Mme. Fsuvel. hav
ing small sums doled out to you to nav
your little gambling debts."
I am neither ambitious nor cruel.".
4And suppose Mme. Fauvel dies to
morrow. What will become of you? Will
you go cringing op to the widower and
implore him to continue your allow
ance?" "Enough said," cried Raoul. anifrilv
Interrupting his uncle. "I never had an
idea of retreating. This arrangement
suits me very well."
Finally, after long debate and much
recrimination the matter was arranged.
nd they shook hands before separat
ing.
This vras the cruel scheme. How it
was executed to the final point of forc
ing Mme. Fauvel to assist Raoul in rob
bing her own husband's safe we have
seen.
CHAPTER XXIII.
Reaching Paris at 9 o'clock In the
evening, not by the Lyons road, as he
had said, but by the Orleans trnln, M.
erluret hurried up to the Archangel,
where he found the cashier impatiently
awaiting him.
"You are about to hear some rich de
velopments," he said to Prosper, "and
see bow far back into the past one has
to seek for the primary cause of a crime.
All things are linked together and de
pendent upon each other In this world of
ours. Valentine de la Verberie Is pun
ished In lWi'J for the secrets of JH40.
Nothing Is neglected or forgotten, when
strru retribution asserts her sway,
Listen."
As Prosper listened to the narrntlve
of events happening twenty years back
It sounded more like romance thuu a
statement of plain facts. All these In
genious explunstion might be loicical.
but what foundation uid they possess?
Might they not be the dreams of an ex
cited Imagination? M, Verduret did not
tJiilhh his report until 4 o'clock in the
morning; then he cried with an accent of
tiiumph:
"And now they .are on their guard, and

escape me. Before a week Is over, Pros
per, you will be publicly exonerated ajid

you shall. And now what have you
bten doing during my absence? Have
yon heard any news? '
At this question Prosper turned crim
son. Rut he knew that it would never
do to keep silent about his Imprudent
Step.
"Alss!" he stammered, "I read In
newspaper that Clnmernn was about to
