In the background, on a settee at the valan's far. end, sat Aline staring in bewildermer.t and fame fear at a face which, if unrecognizable through the mask of blood and dust that smeared it, was yet familia. And thee the man spoke, and instantly she leenv the voic e. for that of the Mar - guts de La Tear d'Azyr. • "In denser?" .Almost he seemed moments of . agonized sus.peasse, cul- minating in the abrupt invasion of the room by the footman Jacques.

Aline looked from one to the tsther with troubled eyes, hesitating to take the letter that was now proffered. When she had read it through, she very thoughtfully replaced it on the table. Then impulsively she ran to madam.e and put her arms about her. "Aline!"• It was a cry of wonder, almost of joy. "You do not utterly abhor me!" linty to latash at the unnecessary awake." Tess -Sion.

"But sit, monsieur, I beg. You are fatigued." "You are gracious to observe it. With your permission, then." And he resumed his seat. She continued an her way to the door and passed out upon her errand. M. de aL Tour d'Azyr at last plead - weariness; and withdrew that he might endeavor to take some rest. When he had gone, madame persuad- ed Aline to go and lie down. Left alone, madame lay clown on a couch in the salon itself, to he ready for any emergency. The tienepiece on the overmantel chimed the hour of ten., and then, startling in the suddenness with which it broke the immediate silence, an- other sound vibrated through the i odder 'manner, she teok the folded sheet.

In the background Andre -Louis, steeling himself against emotionalism, spoke with the voice of Scaramouche. "It would be well, mesdames, to postpone all transports until they can be indulged at greater leisure and in more security. It is growing late. If we are to get out of this shambles we should be wise to take the road without more delay." •/ • It was a tonic .effective as it wee necessary.

When at length they retaxneds they were ac- companied by a tall man in •et. full - skirted shaggy greatcoat and a broad hat, the brim of which was -berried down all around. He remained res- pectfully by the door in the shadlows. Between them the two women har concerted it thus, or rather the Coun- tees had so concerted it when Aline had warned her that Andre -Louis' bit- ter hostility toward the Marquis made it unthinkable that he should move a finger consciously to save him. They had made the mistake of not fully -forewarning and persuading M. de La Tour d?Azyr. "AND SO YOU. KNOW, MYCHILD?" STIFLED TO A WHISPER.
