The elTect itjiou Keredec wan n very
dlmlnct pallor.
"Ho you think he camo back to thu
Inn? In he here nowV"
"I do not know."
"We must learn. 1 must know that
at one;:" And he went to tho door.
"lA't me ko Inntead." 1 suRKCSted.
1 stepied out to the pnllery, to dis
cover Mme. llronnard emerslni; from
a door ou the opposite side ot tho
courtyard.
"Mme. llronnard." nald the professor,
"you havo a new clleut today."
"That monsieur who arrived this
momlnc." I suja:entel.
"He was an American," said tho
hosteii. kulttlne her dark brows, "but
I do not think that he was exactly n
tnontilcur."
"In he at tho Inn now?"
"No. monnleur. but two friends for
whom he engaged npartmcnu have
Just arrived,"
"Who nre they?" nsked Keredec
quickly,
"It In a lady and a monsieur from
Paris, but not married. They havo
tnkeu separate apartments, nnd etio
has a tlomentlc with her-a necress,

"What are their namesT"
"It In not ten minutes that they are

"What Is nheV" demanded Keredec
Impatiently. "In alio blond? 1b she
brunette? In she I'Tench. English,
Spanish?"
"I think." said Mme. Bronnard-"!
think one would call her Hpnulsb. but
she In very fat. uot young, and with
a great deal too much rouge."
Hhe mopped with an audible Intake
of breath, ntarlng at my friend's white
fnce.
"M. Haffren nnd 1 leave at once," ex
claimed Keredec, "I shall meet him
on (he road. lie will not return to tho

"Anything In tho world!"
"Oo to Here Haudry. Have' him

to bin llghtcM curt and wait In the
roud beyond the cottage. Stand In the
road yourself while that Is being done,
Oliver will coi;u (hat way, Detain
him. I will Join yon there."
I strode to the door and out to the
gallery. I wan halfway down the
nteps before 1 huw that Oliver SalTren
was already In the courtyard, coining
toward me from (he archway with n
light and buoyant step.
He looked up, waving bin hat to me,
bin face lighted with a happiness most
remarkable and brighter even than the
stroug midsummer sunnhlue (laming
over him. DrcHted In white as he was
and with the air of victory he woro,
ko might have been at that moment a
from some marble triumph,
Ul, cooquerlur, crowned with
laurel.
But entering from tke road, upot
the trail of Haffren and still In tht
shadow of the archway, 1 was startled
to nee the dtttcordaut fineries and
