I glve you three minutes, monsieur, in Wwhich to leave this house, and to take your own measures for your safety, “'Wait! Listen!" Maddme was pant- ing. She flung herself away from Andre-Louls, as if moved by some premonition of what was coming. “Gervais! This is horrible!" “Horrible, perhaps, but inevitable. I am a man in despair, the fugitive of a lost cause. That man holds the keys of escape. Besides, between him and me there is a reckoning to be paid.” ! His hand came from beneath his coat, and it came armed with a pistol. Mme. de Plougastel screamed, .and flung herself upon him. On her knees now, she clung to his arm with all her strength and might. Vainly he sought to shake himself free of that desperate clutch. But Andre-Louis had taken advan- tage of that moment of M, de La Tour Azyr's impotence to draw a pistol in his turn, “Stand away, ma- dame.” Far from obeying that imperious . command, Mme. de Plougastel rose to her feet to cover the Marquis with her body. But she still clung to it with unsuspected strength that con- tinued to prevent him from attempt- forward HOLDING HANDS AND STARING EACH AT THE OTHER.

His son's eyes asked a question, “Let there be peace hetween us, in His Pity stirred at last in Andre-Louls, Some of the sternness left his face, He sighed. “Goodby, monsieur,” he sald, He loosed his son's hand and stepped back. They bowed formally to each other. And then M. de La Tour d'Azyr bowed to Mlle. de Ker- cadiou in utter silence, a how that contained something of utter renun- ciation, of finality. That done he turned and walked stiffly out of the ropm, and so out of all their lives. Months later they were to hear of him in the service of the Emperor of Austria. CHAPTER XIV, Andre-Louis took the morning on the terrace at Meudon. The hour was very early, and the risen sun was transmuting into dia- monds the dewdrops that still lin- gered on the lawn. To Andre-Louis, sauntering there with hands clasped behind him and head hunched between his shoulders -~for life had never been richer in material for reflection—came present- Iy Aline through one of the glass doors from the library. “Have you decided what air next you are ing to use the pistol. “He is your father, Andre! vais, he is your son—our son! letter there . on the table y O my God!” And she slipped ner- vously to the ground, and crouched there sobbing at the feet of M. de La Tour d'Azyr. CHAPTER XIIL Across the body of that convulsive- 1y, sobbing woman, the mother of one and the mistress of the other, the eyes of those mortal enemies met, invested with a startled, appalled interest that admitted of no words. | M. de La Tour d'Azyr was the first to stir. Into his bewildered mind | came the memory of something that| Mme. de Plougastel had said of a Jetter that was on the table. He came forward, unhindered. He | walked unsteadily past this new- found son of his, and took up the sheet that lay beside the candle- branch. A long moment he stood reading it, none heeding him. M. de La Tour d'Azyr read the let ter slowly through. Then very quiet- | 1y he replaced it. Then he stepped back to Mme. de Plougastel's side and stooped to raise her. “Why was I never told? Why did you tell me that this child had died a few days after birth?"” “1 was afraid T it better so—that nobody, nobody, not | even you, should know. There was Plougastel; there was my family X Through the windows open to the garden came from the distance the faint throbbing of a drum to remind them of what was happening around them. At last Andre-Louis began to speak, his voice level and unutterably cold. “M. de La Tour d'Azyr,” he sald, (! trust that you'll agree that this dis- closure alters nothing since it effaces nothing of all that lies between us. And yet avall to talk! Here, monsieur, take this safe-conduct which is made out for Mme. de Plougastel's footman, and with it make your escape as best you can. In return I will beg of you the favor never to allow me to see you or hear of you again.” The Marquis rose s in.
