"Let me have them," said Manborgne, ap-

Oliver held them out. In apite of himself
his hand shook. But Manborgne had made
np his mind to see nothing. He took them,
examined them at a glance, while Barge-
mont watched him keenly. Ns was risking
his life at that supreme moment, for the
coward who had not had the courage to kill

least sign of suspicion to leap upon Man-
borgue and strangle him. But lasuborgne
remained impassive. Nothing in his hard
face 'indicated hesitation, surprise or doubt.
Everything about him seemed as usual. He
made is gesture of satisfaction at sight ot the
endoraation on the notes. Everything was
regular and he looked up. "My compli-
ments, Sir," he said.
Oliver trembled. He thought he detected
in that simple word an 'indefinably bitter
and cruel mockery. Was he unmasked?
Was he lost ? A rush of blood eropurpled
his face and 'made his eyes bloodshot. He
saw red. _ •

the crime took body SO to speak, and disen-
gaging itself from dream and idea, was put
little by little into execution, he breathed

good impression, the mother who would
retain her influence over hen young people

ever so simple, plain, inexpensive, she will
see that it is habitually neat and
whole, and therefore always preaenthble,
whatever the emergency. A cheap print,
costing only a few cents the yard may be
prettily made, of is tint becoming to the -
wearer's complexion, and if finished with a
linen collar and cuffs, her toilet will lack
nothing in the way of fitness, and. be far
more attractive than frayed woolen or :vett-
