The shade of the window had been drawn, “This ‘clroumstance struck her as being lextremely pecullar, She crossed |the street and was about to ring |the bell when she heard the sound of footsteps inside, coupled with a queer, muffled report.

There was a certain familiarity about the man's walk that the couple }reached the street lamp at the }corner she aqw that the man car ried a satchel, and then she made a discovery. The man was undoubtedly Hart mann. She decided to follow him jat once, The faintness which overcame M Dumas when he was struck down from behind in Mr, Vernon's apart- ent was but momentary. In a \few seconds his consciousness re- turned. at He perceived at once several things, The first was that he lay rly on his face on the floor. The second was that Mile, Mercier had ceased to scream, and Charles Vernon had been joined by a woman, who was engaged in tying the girl's hands behind her back, while Vernon fastened a handker- chief tightly across her mouth. A third impression crossed M Dumas’ confused mind. He had tn his watstcoat pocket the one-franc plece which he had taken from Mile, Mercier. In a few moments he would be gearched and the franc discovered. With nervous fingers he felt In| his waistcoat pocket for the coin His left arm, doubled under him, brought his hand close to the pocket.

On the lower shelf was a box, With the fingers of his left hand he managed to reach it, and, with the cola still in them, push up the lid. Thrusting his hand downward he touched a number of small cylin- drical objects which he realized were cigars. He forced the one france piece deep down among the contents of the box just as the man and woman seized him and dragged him toward the center of the room. He rose at once and found bhim- self gazing into the blue muzzle of @ revolver. Search him,” he heard the man with the curly black beard say to the woman. The latter went thru his pockets, placing the various objects she took from them on the table, The man examined them hastily. “It's ot here,” he exclaimed in an ex- asperated volce. “Are you looking for anything in particular, my friend?’ asked Dumas coolly. “You know what we are looking for very well,” growled the man. “Give me the coin or it will be the worse for you.” “I don’t understand you, mon- I am a teacher of music. The man stopped him with a laugh. “Do you think I am a fool?” he said. “Not ten minutes ago you were going to arrest me for being some one you called Hartmann.

Dumas slowly, “in the safe at the Hotel Rochambeau before I left there tonight.” His manner was frank and {t was Jevident that his captor belleved jhim.

Her companion got out his satchel and glanced sharply about the room, an tho to seo whether he had forgotten any- thing. Suddenly the fellow took a step forward, Dumas watched him with fascinated interest, He went to the little table, reached down, od seized the box of cigars and tos it carelessly Into his grip “Might as well have something to smoke,” he remarked to the woman, as he closed the satchel and placed it near the door Vernon then took from his pocket a letter and, striking a match, | burned Yt on the hearth. | The woman began to close the windows, Dumas wondered what she was planning to do, The woman deliberately shut the door leading to the adjoining bedroom, turned on the three gas jets which, tho not {n use, formed the upper part of the chandelier, and then | with her companion, passed -out |into the Nttle hall and closed the | door after her, The escaping gas poured out from the three open gan sets and itself thruout the | dinseminated | room. but to no purpose, Those two who had fastened his bonds were evi- dently no novices at the game. | With a supreme effort he rose |to his feet, but found himeelf un- able to make the smallest step.

At half past nine o'clock the next morning the two sat opposite each other, across the breakfast table, There was still no news of Grace. “If we do not hear within the next half-hour,” sald Duvall, his face pale and careworn, “I shall notify the police.” As if in answer to his words, a bellboy came thru the dining room, calling his name and that of M. Lefevre. Duvall called to him. The boy came up and handed him a tele graph company’s envelope, upon which was written {mn pencil, “Mr. Richard Duvall or M.
