He found her sitting on the sofa in the large saloon, engaged in an animated conversation with Madeleine. ie & _It was with no decided object in view that he had ventured to use the last mysâ€" teriously threatening words, but he had been inspired to do so by his wonderful inâ€" stinet, which with him was like the scent of a bioodbound. _ And he dragged Clameran away, half supportiag him, for he staggered like a drunken man, avd clung to every object he passed, to prevent falling. ‘"Hello !" exciaimed the clown.

These few words fell like a clap of thun der upon De Clameran. the middle of the road, and avoid "I was the best friend, mousieur, that your brother Gaston ever had. I was his adviser, and the confident of his last wishes," The clown stood by with a sarJonic smile, and after a moment‘s silence nm:gd Clameran steadily in the face, and id measured tones said: A warning look from Raoul checked the forgeâ€"master from using an epithet which would have led to an afray, or at least a scandalous scene.

This news was so unexpected, s starâ€" tling, that for a moment the clown was dumb; and now his surprise was genuine. wilu.s © P w ‘ o e en o e e e o e oo e etie But he soon recovered himself, and, bowâ€" ing with deterence, said, with covert irony : "I am & friend of M.

If this is not a sufllcient reason for my interference I must inform you that his family will shortly be mine ; I regard myâ€" self as his nephew."

"Do you pretend," said M. de Clamâ€" eran, "to be ignorant of M. Fauvel‘s misâ€" fortune *" The clown looked very innocent, and asked : "‘Ah, yes, yes ; I remember. His cashier ran off with three hundred and fifty thouâ€" sand france. Pshaw! It is a thing that almost daily happens.

Yeseâ€" I terday, in a dispute between them, the master said to his dear friend, ‘And, above | all things, my friend, 1 would advise you not to resist me, for if you do 1 will erash you to atoms.‘ Thas explains all. The elegant Lagors is not the lover of Mme. Fauvel, but the tool of Ciameran. Besides, did our first suppositions account for the resigned obedierce of Madeleine* It is Clnmor,u. and not Lagors, whom Madelcine obeys.‘ Pro?or began to remonstrate. M. Verduret shrugged his shoulders. To convince P he had only to utter one word ; to ufi him that three hours ago Clameran had announced his intended . marriage with Madeleine ; but he did not. 1 **We can nover discover At," said Prosper ‘‘Now, Prosper, we will talk as much as you please. (.?:r enomies are on the alert, and we mush crush them instantly or not at all. I have made a mistake: 1 have | been on the wrong track; It is an accident Lnblo to happen to any man, no matter how inféiligent he may be. I took the effect for the cause.

Fauvel had first bestowed upenr him the name of one of her relatives and ther jntroduced him as her nephew. This was an adroit stratagem to gain him admission to her husband‘s house. _ Prosper was surprised at the look of merciless rage on his frienks face as he calmly washed and dressed hi arm. But M. Verduret was pot in the habit of discussing private nfl’u’r’l“:vhore he might be overheard. ‘*First of all let us go into your room, and et some water to wash this cut which fiumo like fir&" "Heavens !

On the other hand, in acting thus hastily, he was insuring the safety of the principal plotter, De Clameran. \{'hal proofs had ho against him? Not one. He had strong suspicions, but no weliâ€"grounded charge to produce againet him. _ Ou reflection the clown decided that he would aet alone, as he had thus far done, and that alone and unaided he would dis. cover the truth of all his suspicions. Having reached this decision, the first step to be taken was to put his followers on the wrong scent. He walked ravidly up the Rue Sebastoâ€" pol, and reaching the Arts et Metiers square he abruptly stopped, and asked some insignificant questions of two policeâ€" men who were :uml’nug talking together.

He 'bowed and entered the house, s#uns AintnalioBas ce »tpddiiaic+ sole myself with a wounded arm. ant evening to all my exertions!"
