Suddenly there was a movem outside, followed by a whiste and second whistle Then from the far end of the pas: sage came another sound of steps, which increased in the solemn silence and stopped, fike the first, bebim the door, Words were spoken. Outs@le seemed ro be concerting meas- ures. | Veronique managed to reach her She took but her revolver and put her finger on the trigger. If) any one entered, she would stand up and fire shot after shot, without hesi- tating, Would not the least hesi-, tation have meant Franoois’s death? CHAPTER X. ’ ERONIQUE'S catimate was correct, provided that the: door opened outwards and, that her enemies were at once revealed to view. She therefore examined the door and suddenly ob« served that, against all logical ex- pectatior, it had aMlange strong bolt at the bolum, Should she make use of it? She had no time to weigh the ad-! vantages or drawbacks of this plan. She had heard a jingle of keys and, almost at the same time, the sound of a key grating in the lock. Veronique received a very clear vis- fon of what was likely to happen. When the assailants burst in, she would be thrust aside, she would be hampered in her movements, her, aim would be inaccurate and her shots would miss, whereupon they would shut the door again and promptly burry off to Francois’s cell. The thought of it made her lose her head; and her action was instinctive and. immediate. First, she pushed thet bolt at the foot of the door, Next,. half rising, she slammed the éron shutter over the wicket. A latoh clicked. It was no longer possible either to enter 6r to look in. Then at once she realized the ab- surdity of her action, which had not opposed any obstacle to the menace of the enemy. Stephane, leaping to her side, said: i “Good heavens, what have you don: Why, they saw that I was not moving and they now know that I am not alone!” “Exactly,” she answered, striving to defend herself. “They will try to break gown tne door, which wii) give us tne time we want.” “The time we want for what?" “To make our escape.” “Which way?" “Francois will call out to us, Fran-' cois will...” She did not complete her sentenoe:” They now heard tHe sound of foot-? steps moving swiftly down the paas- age. There was no doubt about it; Stephane, whose flight appeared im- Dossible, was making for the upper: floor of cells. Moreover, might he not suppose that the two friends were acting in agreement and that it was the boy who was in Steph- ane’s cell und who anes, o had barred the Veronique listened, desperate! 1. ex- Pectant of what was coming, tryna’ to, gues. seeking to find some clue in Stephane’s eyes.’ He stoqd in front of her, looking at her as a man, in the ‘our of danger, looks at the woman’ he loves, : And suddenly she staggered and ' had to press her hand against the de wall, It was as though the caye and <* indeed the whole cliff were bodily \ ! moving from its place. j i \ “Oh, she murmured, “is it [ who am trembling like this? Is it from fear, that I am shaking from head to” foot?" ; Seizing Stephane's hands, she said: “Tell me! 1 want to know!" |, He did not answer. There was noj fear in his eyes bedewed with tears, there was nothing but immense love and unbounded despair, He was thinking only of her, Besides, was it necessary for him to explain what was happening? Did not the reality itself become more‘ and more apparent as the seconda passed? A strange reality indeed,t having no connection with common- place facts, a reality quite beyond anything that the imagination might invent in the domain of evil, a strange reality which Veronique, who way bexinning to grasp Its indfeation, still refused to believe. Acting like a trap-door, but Uke a trap-door working the reverse way, the square of enormous joists which was set in the middle of the cave rose, pivoting on the fixed axis by which it was hinged parallel with the cliff, The almost — inaperceptible movement was that of an enormous‘t lid opening; and the thing already * formed a sort of springboard reaoh- ing from the edge to the back of the ¢ t springboard with as yet a very slight slope, on which tt was easy enough to keep one's balance.
