CHAPTER V.
The astreloger was not alone. A
tall figure. cloaked and =died to the
chin, entered atter him, and stood
waitiug at his elbow while he secur-
ed the fastenings cui the door. Appar-
ently, they had only met on the thres-
hold, tor the stranger, after looking
round him, and silently noting the
lantastio disorder oi the room, said,
in a hoarse voice, "You, do not know
me?"
"Perfectly, Monsieur de Vidoche,"
the astrologer answered, removing his
lett.
"Did you know I was eollowing

"1 came to show you the way."
"That is a lie, at any rate 4" the
,young noble retorted, with a sneer,
"for f did not know I was coming
myself."
"Until you saw me," tate astrologer
answered. unmoved, "WW you take
oft your cloak? You wilt need it
when yen leave."
M. de Vidoche cosnplied with an ill
grace. "The u.sual stook -in -trade. I
see," he muttered, looking round him
scornfully. "Skulls and bones, and
dead hands and giabet ropes. Faugh 1
The place smells. I suppose these are
the things you keep to frighten child-
ren."
"Some," Notredame answered, calm-
ly -he was busy lighting a lamp -"and
some are for sale."
"For sale?" M. de Vidoche cried, in-
credulously. "Who will buy them?"
"Some one thing, and same anoth-
er," the astrologer answered, care-
lessly. "Take this, for instance," he
continued, turning to his visitor, and
looking at him for the first time. "I
expect to.fincl a customer for that
very shortly."
M. de Vidootae followed the direction
a his finger, and shuddered, despite
himself. 'That," was a coffin. "En-
ough DC this" he saad with savage im-
patience. "Suppose you get off your
high horse, and come to business. Can
I Bit, man, or are you going to keep
me standing ell night ?"
The mea in black brought forward
twe stools, and led the way behind the
certain, "It is warmer here," he
said, pushing aside an earthen pipkin,
and clearing a space with his foot in
front of the glowing embers, "Now
I a,ter at your service, Monaieur de Vi-
doche. Pray be seated."
"Are we aloue ?", the young noble
asked, suspiciously.
"Trust. me /or that," the aetrologer
answered. "I know my bustoess."

a fresh burst of rage, he nauttered,

The perspiration stood in thick drops
on the young man's forehead, and he
glared aa bis tormentor. But the Int -
ler met the loolc pla.oidly, and seemed
.gaorant of the effect be IVMS pro-
ducing. "It is a pity, therellere, mon-
eieur is not free to merry," he said,
shaking his head regretaullee-"a great/
pay, Ono doe e not know what may
happen. Yet, on the other hand, if
he had not married he would be a poor
ma.n now."
M. de Vidoche sprung tee las feet
with am oath. But he sat down again.
"Wheal he married he WES a poor
num, I think," the astrologer con-
tinued, tor the first time averting his
gaze from the other's face, and looking
into the fire with a. queer smile. "And
zi 'debt. Madame -the present ale -
dame de Vidoche, I mean -paid hts
debts, and brought him an estate, I
believe."
"Of which she has never ceased to
reanuid him, twice a day since!" the
young man crie,d, in a, terrlble voice.
And then in a moment he lost( alb self-
control., all disguise, all the timidcun-
wog which had marked him Saither-
to. He epruzag to his feet. The veins
hes temples swelled, lhis tface grew
red. So true is it that smell things
try us 111,0113 than great1 ones, and
sraall grievances rub deeper raws than
great wrosigs. "My God!" he said be-

He stopped for very. Lack of ibreath.
'Madame was of good faratly?'. the
roan in black said, abruptly. He had
grown suddenly ai tentive. His
shadow on the wall behind hine was
still and straight-backed.
"Oh, yes," the husband, answered,
bitterly.
"In Perigord?"
0.14 yes."
"Three marshals a Frenee?". M.
Notredeme muruured, thoughtfully;
but there was &strange light ire his,
eyes, end he kept late face carefully
averted from his companion. "That
is not common! That is certainly
something to boast ofl"
"Mon Dieu! She did boast of 11,
(bough no one else allowed the claim.
And of her blood of :Roland!" M. de
Vidoche cried, with scorn. His voice
still shook, and hie hands treanbled
with rage. Re strode uo and down.
"What wais her name before she mar -
nee?" the astrologer asked, stooping
over the fire.
The young man stopped, arrested in
his pa.ssiorn-stopped, and looked at
him suspiciously. "Her name?" he
muttered. "What hes that Lo do with

"ff you want IDE 1:0 -draw her horo-

ly. "You shall 'lave it now; now, this

upror portal, as we call it -is a hun-
dred crowns, Monsieur de Videalle.
There is the risk, you see."
"You shell have It. Give me the --
the stuff!" •
The young man's voice trembled,
but it was with anger and impatience
not with fear. The astrologer recogniz-
ed the change in hien, end fele into
his place. He wunt, without fur tb-
er demur, to a little shelf in the dark-
est corner of the laboratory, whence
he reached. down a crucible. He was
in the net of peering into this, with
his back to his visitor, when M. de
Vidoche uttered n startled cry, and,
spriuging toward him, seized his arm.
"You fiendl" the young man hissed -
he was pale. to the lips, and: shook as
with an ague --"there is some one
there! There is some one listening!"
For a second the man in black stood
breathless, his band arrested, the
shadow of his companion's terror
darkening his face. M. de Vidothe
pointed with a trembling finger to
the staircase which led to the further
part of the house, and on this the
two bent their sober, guilty eyes. The
lamp burned unsteadily, giving out an
odor of smoke. • The lamp was full of
shadows, uncouth, distorted shapes,
that rose and fell with the light, and
had something terrifying in their sud-
den appearances and vanishings. But
in all the place there was nothing so
appalling or so ugly as the two vici-
ous, panic-stricken faces that glared
into the darkness.
The man in black was the first to
break the silence. "What did you
hear?" he muttered, at length, after
a long, long period of waiting and
watching.
"Some one moved there," Vidoche
aaaswered. under his breath. His voice
St:1
trembled; hie face was livid with
terror.
"Nonsense!" the other nnswered.
He knew the place, and was fast re-
covering his courage. "What was ;
the sou.nd like, man?"
".11 dull, heavy sound. Some one
moved."
M. Notredeme laughed, but not
pleasantly. "It was the toad " he
said. "There is no other living
thing here. The door on the stir -
ease is locked. It is thick, too. A
•dozen men might be behind it, yet
they 'would not hear a word that

FARIKEBS' INSURANCE COMPANY,
Mr. Eilber, South Huron, introduced
a bill entitled "An Act to amend the
Ontario Insurance Act," w.hich is of
practical interest to the agricultural
community. Some years ago, when the
Municipal Act was consolidated, the
term for which Farmers' Mutual Fire
Insurance Companies could insure was
reduced from five to four years. This
was done without consulting any of
the Farmers' Insurance Companies of
the country. Most of these conipan-
ies do a purely local business, and as
the directors are invariably local men,
who Live in their business territory,
it may safely be assumed that they
knhey whether it is advisable to issue
policies for a longer or shorter period.
The object of Mr. Dilber's bill is to
make it optional with' the directors
whether the term shall be four or
five years. The lengthening of the
term, it is claimed, means the saving
of thousands of dollars to farnaers in
agents' fees. .
