If he could only have seen the smile behind the thick dark veil which hid the features so tantalisingly 1 "I have not your insignia with me," she said " that I must give you at some future time, not now. Though I am alarmed for you, I cannot but admire your reckless au- dacity." "I thought perhaps you might," Le Gau- tier observed in a disappointed tone, and glancing at ihe clasp of his companion's cloak. "That is mine," she explained,^ noting hia eager look. "I do not part with it so recklessly as you. I, too, am one of you, as you see. Ah, Monsieur le Gautier, how truly fortunate your treasure fell into a wo- rnai's h^nds "' " Indeed, yes," he replied gravely, a little puzzled, nevertheless, by the half -serious, half-mocking tone at these last words. "And how grateful I am Pardon me if, in my anxiety, I ask when I may have if" "It may be some days yet. It is not in my hands but be assured that you shall have it.

" But you will at least tell me the name of my benefactor, and when I shall have the great felicity of seeing her again." "If I disclose myself to you, my secret must be respected. Some time when I know you better, I will tell you more. I live in Ventnor Street, Fitzroy Square. Vou may conie and see me any night at ten. You must inquire for Marie St J ean. " "I will come," Le Gautier exclaimed, kissing the proffered hand gallantly. "Noth- ing save the sternest duty shall keep me trom Fitzroy Square." " And you will respect my secret I, too, ^m en the business of the League. You vill guard my secret?" "On my life?" was the fervid response. "Goodnight, and au revoir." ' On his life," Isodore murmured as she talked rapidly away in the direction of the i«mple Gardens. It was a beautiful night, the moon hane;- '"g behind Westminster, and throwing a gwiDg track alons; the swift rushing river, lancmg hke molten silver as it turned and l^itched under the arches of Waterloo. f 'â- as getting quiet now, save for the echo- '^g footfall from a few hurrying feet or the â„¢5ut of voices from the Surrey shore.

Beside, how is it going to benefit you or injure him He will boast of it he will talk of it to his friends, and iniure you." "Not while I have this," Isodore cried triumphantly, touching the clasp of her cloak. â€" " Do not you see how he is within my power Besides, he can give me some information of the utmost value. They hold a council to-morrow night the busi- ness is pressing, and a special envoy is to go to Rome. The undertaking will be one of extreme danger. They will draw lots, but the'choice w2l fall upon Frederick Maxwell." "How do you know this?" Valerie ask- ed. " I do not understand your mission but it seems to me that where every man has a stake at issue, it is his own interest to see the matter conducted fairly." " You may think so but perhaps you will think dUferently when I tell you that Le Gautier is, for the evening. President of the Council. It does not need a vast amount of discrimination to see how the end will be. Le Gautier is determined to marry this Enid Charteris and much as she despis- es him, he will gain his end if he is not crossed." " But what are you going to do?" Valerie asked, horrified at the infamous'plot. ' 'You will not allow an innocent man to go to his death like this " "I shall not, as you say, allow a good man to be done to death," Isodore replied with the calmness of perfect conviction. "The peai is not yet ripe. Lo Gautier is not sufficiently hoist with his own petard. This Maxwell will go to Rome but he will never execute the commission allotted to him I shall take care of that. â€" And now, mind you are out ot the way, when Le Gau- tier comes to-morrow night." Valerie silently shivered as she turned over the dark plot in her mind. " Suppose you fail, Isodore," she suggested â€" " fail from over- confidence You speak of the matter as already accomplished, as if you had only to say a thing and it is done. One would think, to hear you, that Frederick Maxwell's safety, my husband's life even, was yours." "Yes," she answered calmly; "his life is mine. I hold it in the hollow of my hand." CHAPTER XI. In one of those quiet by-thoroughfares between Gray's Inn Road and Holbom stands a hair-dresser's shop. It is a good enough house above stairs, with capacious rooms over the shop; below, it has its plate-glass windows and the pole typical of the tonsorial talent within; a win- dow decorated with pale waxen beauties, rejoicing in wies of great luxuriance and splendour of colour brushes of every shape and design and cosmetiques from all nations, dubbed with high-sounding names, and war- ranted to make the baldest scalp resemble the aforesaid beauties, after one or more ap- plications. But the polite proprietor of "The Cosmopolitan Toilette Club" had something besides hair-cutting to depend upon, for Pierre Ferry's house was the Lon- don headquarters of the League. As he stood behind a customer's chair in the " saloon" snipping and chatting as bar- bers, especially if they be foreigners, always will, his restless little black eyes twinkled strangely. Had the customer been a man of observation, he would have noticed one man after another drop in, making a sign to the tonsorial artist, and then passing into an inner room. Salvarini entered presently, accompanied by Frederick Maxwell, both making some sign and passing on. Pierre Ferry looked at the newcomer keenly but a glance of intelligence satisfied his scruples, and he resumed his occupation. Time went on until Le Gautier arrived, listless and cool, as was his wont, and in his turn passed m, turning to the barber as he shut the door be- hind him. "This room is full," he said " we want no more. " ,..^1.1 Ferry bowed gravely, and turning the key in the lock, put the former in his pocket. That was the signal of the assembly being complete. He wished his customers good- night, then closing the door, seated himself, to be on the elert in case of any threatened danger. As each of the conspirators passed through the shop, they ascended a dark winding staircase into the room above; and at the end of the apartment, a window opened out upon another light staircase, for flight in case of danger, and which led into a churchyard, and thence into a back street. The windows looking upon Gray's Inn Road were carefully barred, and the curtains drawn so as to exclude any sin- gle ray of ligiit, and talking quietly together were a few grave-looking men. foreigners mostly. Maxwell surveyed the plain-look- ing apartment, almost bare of furniture, with the exception of a long teble covered with a green cloth, an inkstand and paper, together with a t«ck of play?g-c««i« ^^^ artist's scrutiny and speculations were cut short by the entrance of Le Gautier. To an actor of his stamp, the change of manner from a light-hearted man of the world to a desperate conspirator was easy rnough. He ha^ laid aside his air of levity, and Ippeared now President oi the CouncU ' â- " -Brave, stem, with a touch of hauteur in hS gait, hi« voice deUberate; and to the lifeâ€" grave, hauteur in his gait, â€" ^^„„x j_t__ his whole manner «P«»fcSg_l!,r;„«*iJ^^„'t him the grape- vmes, J, "^ny Tiber down at her feet, and a \^ Tv* ** ^^" ^^'^e- ^^^ °*" *he grapes "« thorns, the winding Tiber the sullen \^^\ iind the hero fstanding by her spised* 'â- Â°-'^° longer, but a man to be de- b jw " worse.

Ihe President repeated the question, and looked ronnd again, as if waiting for some one to speak. " res,_ I know him. He was my friend," Salvarini observed in melancholy tones. " Let us hear what his fault is." " He is a traitor to the Order," Le Gan- tier continued ' and as such he must die His crime is a heavy one," he went on, look- ing keenly at Maxwell " he has refused to obey a mandate of the Three." " Death 1" shouted the voices in chorus againâ€"" death to the traitor " "That is your verdict, then?" the Presi- dent asked, a great shout of " Ay" going up in reply.â€" "It is proper for you to see his refusal; we must be stem in spite of our justice. See for yourselves." ^ying these words, he passed the papers down the table from hand to hand. Maxwell reading them in his turn, though the whole thing was a whole thing was a puzzle to him. He could only see that the assembly were in deadly earnest concerning something he did not understand. He was destined to have a rude awakening ere long. The papers were passed on until they reached the President's hands again. With great care he burnt them at one of the candles, crushing the charred ashes with his fingers. "You are all agreed," he asked. "What is your verdict to be ' And like a solemn echo came the one word, "Death!" Sal- varini alone was silent, and as Le Gautier took up the cards before him, his deathly pallor seemed to increase. " It is well â€" it is just," Le Gautier said sternly, as he poured the cards like water from one hand to the other. " My friends, we will draw lots. In virtue of my office as President, I am exempt but I will not stand but in the hour of danger I will take my chance with you." A murmur of applause followed this senti- ment, and the cards were passed round by ea^h, after being carefully examined and duly shuffled. Maxwell shuffled the cards in his hands, quite unconscious of what they might mean to him, and passed them to Salvarini. "No," he sail despondingly " there is fate in such things as these. If the lot falls to me, I bow my head. There is a higher Hand than man's guiding such desti- nies as ours; I will not touch them." Say- ing these words with an air of extremely dee^ melancholy, he pushed the cards in Le Gautier's durection. The latter turned back his cufis. laid the cards on the palm of one hand, and looked at the assembly. " I will deal them round, and the first particular card that falls to a certain individ- ual shall decide," he said. " Qhoose a card." " The dagger strikes to the heart," came a foreign voice from the end of the table " what better can we have than the ace of hearts?" He stopped, and a murmur of assent ran round the room. It was a thrilling moment. Every face was bent forward eagerly as the president stood up to deal the cards. He placed one before himself, a harmless one, and then, with unerring dexterity, threw one before every man there. Each face was a study of rapt attention, for any one might mean a life, and low hoarse murmurs ran round as one card after another was turned up and proved to be harmless. One round was finished, containing, curiously enough, six hearts, and yet the fatal ace had not appear- ed. Each anxious face would light up for a moment as the owner's card was turned up, and then he fixed with sickening anxiety on his neighbour's. At the end of the second round the ace was still absent. The excitement now was almost painful not a word was spoken, and only the deep breath- ing gave evidence of the inward emotion. Slowly, one by one, the cards dwindled away in the dealer's hands till only seven were left. It was a sight never to be for- gotten even with one chance for each and when the first of the seven was dealt, a simple two, every envying eye was bent upon the fortunate one as he laughed un- steadily, wiped his face, and hastily filled and swallowed a glass of water. Six, five, four the last to the President, and' there only remained three cards now â€" one for Salvarini, one for Maxwell, and one for the suggester of the emblem card. The Frenchman's card was placed upon the table he turned it up with a shrug which was not altogether affected, and then came Salva- rini's turn. The whole room had gathered round the twain, MaxweU calm and collect- ed, Salvarini white and almost fainting. He had to steady one hand with the other, like a man afflicted with paralysis, as he turned over his card. For a moment he leaned back in his chair, the reviJBion of feeling almost overpowering him. His card was the seven of clubs. _. With a long sweeping throw, the Presi- dent tossed the last card in MaxweU's direc- tion. No need to look at it. There it lay â€"the fatal ace of hearts They were amazed at the luckless man s utter coolness, as he sat there playing with the card, little understanding as yet his dan- ger • and then, one by one shaking his hand solemnly, they passed out. Maxwell was inclined to make light of this dramatic dis- play, ascribing it to a foreigner s love of the mysterious. He did not nnderstimd it to mean a last fareweU^ between Brothers. They had all gone by that time with the ex- ception of Le Gautier and Salvarini, the lat- ter looking at the doomed man sadly, the Frenchman with an evU gdtter and a look of subdued triumph in his eyes. " Hichlv dramatic, at anyrate," MaxweU observik, turning to Le Gauti^ "j^iTx' ly entertaining. They seemed to be ex- tremely sorry for me." ^^ "Well, you takethematter coolly enough, the Frenchman Bn^^ed. V Any one would think you were used to this sort of thing.

" I stam my hand with an unoffendintt man's blood Never 1 I would die first. I never dreamt â€" I never thooghtâ€" â€" Sal- varini, I did not think yon would lead me into this " " I warned you," the Italian said mourn- fully. " As far as I dared, I told you what the consequences would be." " If you had told me you were a gang of callous, blooddiirsty murderers, I should not have joined you. I, like every English- man, am the friend of liberty as much as you, but no cowardly dagger-thrust for me. Do your worst, and come what may, I defy you 1" " A truce to these histrionics," Le Gautier exclaimed fiercely " or we shall hold a Council, and serve you the same. There are your orders. I am your superior. Take them, and obey. Refuse, and" He stop- ped, folded his arms, and looked Maxwell full in the face for a moment then turning abruptly upon his heel, quitted the room without another word. Maxwell and his friend confronted each other. " And who is this Visci I am to murder " the artist demanded bitterly. Salvarini bowed his head lower and lower till his face almost rested upon his breast. "You know him," he said. "He was a good friend of mine once, and his crime is the one you are contemplating nowâ€" disobe- dience to orders. Is it possible you have not (guessed the doomed man to be Carlo Visci ?i " Carlo Visci^my friend, my more than brother I must be mad, mad or dreaming.

" Then I shall dieâ€" death comes only once," Maxwell exclaimed proudly, throw- ing back his head. " No sin like that shall stain my soul 1" For a moment the two men were sUent. Salvarini broke the silence. " Listen. Maxwell," he said. " I am in a measure to blame for this, and I will do what I can to serve you. You must go to Rome, as if you intend to fulfill your task, and wait there till you hear from me. I am running great risks in helping you so, and you must rely on me.

Kidney diseases, skm du- eases, sick headache, heart disease, dropsy and a long catalogue of grave maladies have their origin in a torpid, or sluggish Uver.
