He is here then he cried jealous-ly Where is he Mon Dieu 4n thatroom your chamber sltahdr asjdemademoiselle Let pass

Never answered the girl resolutely You presumE too ranch sir uponiny forbearance Leave my in-

Monsieur go or

notHe stepped toward the Votingthreateningly all his rough Bretonfidelity at the service of his fair youngmistress

The marquis whispered Josettewhose acute ear had caught the trampof feet in the hall whose glance hadrecognized her master He is com

ingIam lost said de Vitre

cried the quickwitted maidstep behind that screen yonder and

be silent as you fear your life Theysuspect something I am sure Ohwhat escape is there for us

With feelings that can scarcely beimagined Anne sank down in herchair again striving vainly to com-pose herself for the expected entrance-of her grandfather The room swambefore her yet she strained herself tomeet the situation What was thecause and what would be the outcome-of this visit

She could hear him outside her doorin the hall now He had not comealone evidently for there was thesound of many steps upon the stoneflagging of the corridor Presentlythere came a tap upon the doorJosette at a nod from her mistressopened it The marquis entered fol-

lowed by de Kersaint and one or twoattendants with lights

Anne rose to her feet as both gentle-men profoundly to her

Mademoiselle began the marquloin his stateliest manner I havebrought with me your old friend andnew lovert

Nayj dear interruptedKersaint who was not without the

gallantry of jii racepray say oldlover as well as old friend

As you will At fate my deargranddaughter Monsieur de Kersainthas come hither to bid you farewell

Be seated gentlemen said AnneDoes Monsieur de Kersaint go farther

than Brest monsieurMademoiselle answered the sailor

hp who starts upon a cruise in warknows not how long his journey norwhere it ends

Does your ship sail thenYes mademoiselle at six oclock in

the morningAnd the other vesselsThe whole fleet goes out under

Monsieur de Conflans himself to fightthe English-

I hope God may have you in hiskeeping monsieur

Thank you mademoiselle but haveyou no kinder wish with which to sendme on my way The marquis yourgrandfather has announced our en-gagement May I not seal it upon yourlips before I go Mademoiselle Anne

The two men who were listeningthe one behind the screen the otherbehind the door were filled with jeal-ous rage at this and with an absoluteparallelism of thought would havogiven worlds to rush forth upon theFrenchman who proffered this naturalrequest

I would rather not monsieurf theglrTr shakirig

headBut my dear wtieri you were achild I carried you many times andkissed you often i

Yes monsieur but I child nolonger You will wait I amuntil you have a better morebinding tie

The two listeners breathed a sigh ofrelief as they hearddenial Indeed had she yielded

hjad de Kersaint pressed theGrafton for one would have brokenforth and killed him before he hadtouched her lips

You will respect the scruples of amaiden de Kersaint said the

I that absencein Canada has not her ad-

herence to the principles which haveendeavored to inculcate in whenshe was a child The demoiselles deRohan were ever chary of kisses

Grafton ground his teeth over thissignificant hiatus

saint JeanRenaudsaid the marquis to theold retainer who had

been an interested spectator of thewhole transaction as the countsteppedto the door But before either thesailor or the servant had passedthrough the entrance the marquissteward appeared in the way

Pardon this intrusion Monsieur leMarquis he said in great agitation

but there is something which mon-sieur should know There is a stran

spy perhaps somewhere in thechateau One of the servants told methat he saw a woman or some onein the armory during the dinner listen-ing and others have said that one

and hooded flitted along thehall and came up these stairs after thedinner I thought monsieur wouldnot to know w iatat the table and I ventured to come

And you did well Basile answered the marquis A cloaked figure-a woman sort of a cloak

One like mademoiselle the countessfoster sister wears answered the manslowly

What Josette exclaimed the marquis De Kersaint stay a momentuntil we look into this Come hitherwoman he cried to the affrightedmaid Know you aught of this

The girl was almost paralyzed withterror as she slowly stumbled nearerhim As for Anne she sank back inher chair as if stricken Was Graftonabout to be discovered then Fortunately no one noticed her at thetime

Josette stopped befpre her masterwhite with fear dumb with

claimed stepping across the room andpicking up the cloak from a charwhere Grafton had thrown it Wasthis it

Speak woman thundered the oldman Whose cloak is this

And who wor It tonightI I did myself sirWere you in the armory listeningI yes sir Oh mon mon

DieuShe sank on her knees on the floor

covered her face with her hands sandburst into tears

Will Monlsieur le Marquis pardonme said Basile insistently Theperson a man perhaps was withMadame Josette

Ah so cried the marquis turningfiercely to the prostrate woman Youhave lied to me then

Yes monsieur sobbedWho was it Speak you fool

But the girl only shook her head andsobbed and wailed at his feet Thamarquis could get nothing further fromher

Curse these women he exclaimedin deep disgust Where did they goBasile

They came up this stair monsieurHave you men outside the doorYes Monsieur le MarquisBid them search every chamber In

this corridor Now MademoiselleAnne he said turning to the countess

perhaps you pan help us Know youaught of this strange visitor Hasanyone been here

Annes tongue clave to roofmouth her knees trembled beneath

her her heart stopped its breathing interror but she could not lie even tosae herlover She looked at themarquis in silence

There is no one in the other roomsMonsieur Je Marquis said the steward-as the men reported to him

Ha He must be here then Annetell are you silent Whatis it grandfather bent overher Speak I will have an answerDid any one come here is there anyone here now By heaven thesewomen exasperate me beyond
