The l'hiirrh ntac loan the king and this dear France of ours be harried to a desert In the civil wars!" 1 had braced myself to hear mon- aleur's anger, but this nnlonked-for ate peal pierced me through and through. All the love and loyalty In me—and '1 had much, though it may not have seemed so—rose In answer to mon- sieur's call. 1 fell on my knees before him, choked with sobs. Motittleur's hand lay on try- head as he Bald quietly; "Now. Felix, speak." 1 answered haaktly! "Would monsieur have me titre Jn- da? "Ju"dits betrayed his master." It was my last stand. My last re- doubt had fallen. 1 raised my head to tell him all. 1 Maybe It was the tears in my eyes. but as I lifted them 10 M. le Due I saw—not him, but Yeux-grta—Yeux- grts looking at me with warm good wilt, as he had looked when he was sating me from Gervais. I saw him, i say, plain before my eves. The next t instant there was nothing, i g, but mon- ( steur's face of rising Impatience. 1 1 rose to my feet and said: "Kill me, monsieur; 1 cannot tell." "Nom de dleu:" he shouted, spring- ing up. 1 shut my eyes and waited. Had ha slain me then and there It, were no more than my deserts.. "Monsieur," said Vigo immovably, "shall i go for the hoot?" 1 opened my eyes then. Monsieur s stood quite et111, his brow knotted, his hands clenched as if to keep them off me. "Monsieur," 1 said, "pend for the boot, the thumbscrew, whatever you please. 1 deserve It and i will hear It. Monsieur, it Is not that I will not tell.

"Is it trite, Felix, what one of the sten said just now, that you tried to speak with monsieur this morning 'heft he drove tut'" "Yes. But monsieur did not recog- nise me." "Like enough." Marcel answered. "He has a way of late of falling int these absent fits. Monsieur is not th man he wan." "He does look older." 1 said, "and warn. 1 trow the risk he is running "Pshaw!" cried Marcel with acorn. "Is monsieur a plan to mind risks No; ft.ls M. le Comte." 'Ston diet, Felix, you have got me into a nice serape with your eternal chantlug of the praises of monsieur. Like as not 1 shall get a beating for It. Vigo never forgets." "I am sorry, I raid. "We should not have beeu talking of it." "No, we should not. Come over here where we can watch both doors and I'll tell you the rest before the old lynx gets back." We sat down close together, and he proceeded In a low tone to disobey Vigo. "EOM. as 1 said, Ila' two young get tlemeu were quite sans le SOU, for things had come to a point where M. le Due looked pretty blank at any appli- cation for funds—he has other use* for his gold, you see. One day mon- sieur was expecting some one to whorl ., he was to pay a thousand plstoles, and e to have the money handy he put it In a secret drawer In his cabinet in the roolu yonder. The man arrives and is taken to monsieur's private room. Mon sieur gives him his orders and goes to the cabinet for his plstoles. No platolea there!" Marcel paused dramatically. "And what then?" 1 asked, "Well, It -appears he had once shown M. le Comte the trick of the drawer, so he sent for him---uot to accuse him. mind you.. For M. le Comte Is wild enough, yet monsieur did not think he would steal plstoles, nor would he, I will stake my oath. No, monsieur merely asked him if he had ever shown any one the drawer, and :11. le ('onite answered, 'Only Grammont."' "And how have you learned all this "Oh, one hears." "One docs with one's ears to the keyhole." It behoovess'ou, Pelle, to be civil to your better! 1 made pretense of looking about me. "Where Is he?" "He sits here. I am page to the Duke of St. Quentin. And y int "" "Touche!" f admitted bitterly enough. Little Marcel, my junior. my unquestioning follower 1n the old da3'. was now Indeed my better, quite in a position to patronise, , "Continue, It you please, Marcel. Yet in passing 1 should like to ask you how much you beard of our talk In there just now." "Nothing," he answered candidly. "When they are so far down the room one cannot hear a word. In the affair Of the plstoles they stood near the Cabinet at this and. One could not help but hear. As for listening at key holey 1 scorn It." "Yea It is welt to acorn it. People have an unpleasant trick of opening doors so suddenly." He laughed cheerfully. "Old Vigo caught us, ce: te... Let's see, where was IS Oh, yes, when mon- sieur put on hla proud look and said If It was a case of no one but his son 1 and his cousin he preferred to drop , the matter. But M. le Comte got out of hlm what the trouble was and went off for Grammont, red as fire. T'he two together came back to monsieur and denied up and down that either of them knew aught of his plstoles or had told of the secret to any one. They say it was easy to see that monsieur did' not believe Grammont, but he did not give him the 11e, and the mat• ter Came neer dropptng there, for M. ie Duc would not accu.e a kinsman. But then Lucas gave a new turn to the affair." 1 eta rtes IIKe a gullly Ihing, remem• bering what Yeux-grin had told me, and 1, wrapped in my petty troubles, had forgotten. Monsieur had lost his only son. Aud I had rhoscu this t1D to defy hint! "How long ago was It"" I asked in hushed voice. "Since M. le Comte left ns" it wil be three weeks next Friday." "How did he die?" "I)le?' echoed Marcel. "You crazy fellow, he Is not dead!" it was my turn to stare. "Then where Is he?" "1t would be motley in mys,p{oueh tf knew. What made you think him dead Felix"" "A mat• told me so." "Pardleu!" he cried in some exelte- mens. "When? '4Vho was it?" "To -day. I do not know the man's name." "It seems you know very little.

But where is he, then? 1 o say he is lost." "Ate. HP has not been seen or heard of since the day they had the quarrel."

In the rat place, there was the question of I. le Comte's marriage." - "What! is he married?" "Oh, by no means. Monsieur wouldn't have it.
