Hidard, "do yoii see thuse thrci sliadows out- liiiod on the curt.iiii of tha salon!" "Certainly, the woman and the tv.ii mosjsieiirs, parWIou ! Must be that supper isn't ready, or they are «.v|>ccting some one ; they don't ap- pear Ui be going to the dining- roi.m." "They are standini? though.' ''Yes, or bowing and scraping. See ! the tallest bt'ws, and the co- cotte gives him her hand ; it's amusing like any thing, 'pon my word. One might believe himself at .Seraphiu's Chinese shadows." "Ah! ah I the one that bowed is going out; there are only two sil- h« I'.ettes to be seen now." ''Likely he's gone to bed. The other is the cocotte's gentleman. The friend who came with them has sairt good-night." *'No, if that was so they wouldn't have lighted the salon and dining- room. But we shall see." Five minutes passed >yithout inci- dent. The two stories were brilli- antly lighted, but the shadows had disappeared. Suddenly the little dtor thr<j)f|fu whieh Madame Ser- gesr Ji;id'"disappearei.l the evening of the Kink was opened softly. A mar a.pp;'.ared on the threshold fol- lowi'il 1>;/ a servant bearing a light ~^3t"-two branches. By the bright- liCBH. of this light Ma.xime recogniz- ed Bprisoff .and redoubled his atten- tion;- â-  Ho held a short colloquy with tho valet de pied which by nicaos of the gestures the observer interpreted for himself. "He Says he will return," tirTitghl Maxime, "and the servant exiilains that he has only to ring a. id they will open to him." The door clo.4es again. Borisoft goes toward the Boulevard Male- she! bes. And now the fencing-mas- ter and the thief reappear behind the window of the salon. From thtnte they observe the colonel. Tl ey are awaiting his return. "Shall I follow their example or risk a sally to see where he is go- ing?" Maxime determiuLd on the latter. "Listen," he said to his ally 13i- dard, "I want, to find out what that man is going to d^J. I am going to follow hini to the end of the street anc. return." "That is ea.;y. I will open to monsieur and resume my i>ost. Monsieur has only to knock ou the window when he returns.' Maximo glided into the street anc saw Borisoff fifteen steps in ad- vance, and at the same time a man whose feet were jjattering on the square at the entrance of Rue .Jouffroy. This was no other than tha coaehniau t»f his victoria. •'(Jot.'d l^lie thought, "I may let tan pass oii> My coachman will tell UK- which way be took.

The colonel walking q\iickly soon reuchwl the Boulevard .Vlalesher- b<.s ; there he sloiipcd. ai.d observ- ing the coa<'bjiian, went straight to- ward him. This surprised Maxime, who b«;gan to look with all his eyes, wi'ndering, with a certain anxiety, what Borisoff had to say to this uiun. The conversation prolonged scrnt. He asked me lirst if 1 would drive him homeâ€" only two steps, â€" and I slKiuld have a hundred sous. H3 niiglit have offered me a louis, ah'd I'd have stayed by you. And when he saw I didn't bite, he filed off. I would lay a litre he's al- ready at the Boulevard de Cour- celles.'' "You did well, mon brave, to sen<l that man off to walk, and I pvninise you shall lose nothing. He will return, the animal, and as I want til watch him, I am going to st.-'.tion myself as sentry at a place below. You will remain here and keep your eyes open, and when I return tell mc what you have seen. If by chance I should need your services, may I count on you i" 'Fully. You have only to call out, Augu.ste ! and I come at a gal- lop. If any thumping is to be done, I can prove that I am not one-handed." "Thanks, ancf au revoir to-night or to-morrow, according as events n.ay det<>rmine." Auguste, 'Hattered by the confi- dence in him exhibited by his mon- sieur, made a magnificent gesture, which signified: "Be easy; I am here." And having thus arranged his affairs, Maxime hastened to regain hi-; ambuscade. The i)orter awaited him and open- ed with great alacrity, anxious to learn the result of the sally. "Is monsieur satisfied? Has racnsieur discovered anything new ?" "The man sped away by the Boulevard Malesherbes, but I am satisfied he means to return." "Oh, that is clear as day. Thej are not going to table without him. All is lit up and nothing moves iuj the house. Proof that they are waiting fur him." "Hush; " said Maxime, in a low! vtiice. At this moment a carriage] stopped a hundred metres from! Madame Sergent's house. | To Maxime's great amazement,! Robert de C'arnoel descended from | the carriage and advanced tortardl the house, flanked l)y two tall men who pressed him closely, but did j noi, hold him as policemen do a prisoner. They had ev<-u the ap- 1 pearance of talking with him, and â-  it could bo .seen he walked of his own free will. The door was open j and a valet de pied stood there i witti a light. Kvidently he waited to recci\B Carnoel. 'Monsieiir." said Bidard under, his breath, "I believe they are go- 1 ing to connnit a crime. They are j bringing the young man to the Tour j d- Ncsle. Surely it is to strangle 1 him. I have a mind to call for help.'' "Xot yet," replied Maxime, quickly, "see first what they will d.)." "Look, sir! above there â€" in the salon â€" those two shadows behind thi windows -" "It is tlic lady an<l her friend, the, one who remained -they are expecting the other. They beard the carriage and have, come to the v. ii;dow." "1 lay a wager they don't open i'.

The valet leaned on the balcony, mcasuvii^g with his eyo the distance fi-oni toji to bottom. The master, on the pavement, mea- sured it from bottom to top. The men who guarded the door, and those placed against the wall, ap- jirofvched the colonel and formed a ciiele around him. The little troop disposed itself as if for assault. The man who field the horses brought foiward the berlin and placed it under the window. "They are about to invade the house," Maxime cried out; "two of tlicm are climbing on the box ; the carriage, is to serve them for a lad- der." "Ah I verily," exclaimed Bidard, ''that is too much. Right here, in th'" finest neighborhood in Paris, to have these brigands acting like they believed it was the forest of B(.ndy. I am going to give the alarm â€" if monsieur does not op- pose it." .it this moment the cock-crowing sounded out still more clearly, ac- companied by a rattling noise. A falsetto voice cried out: "Cut- throat!" A base voice roared: •Scaling a wallâ€" in the nightâ€" oc- ciii)ied house -band of malefactors â€"galleys for life." (To be continued.)

Ii(veii(ioii Proves of Value in Diag- nosing Sloiuaeli Troubles. The ''stomach telescope," or gas- tro.-cope, invented at the ^ondon Hospital last year, has proved to he of the greatest value in the diag- no.'iis of stomach disorders. An eminent surgeon recently referred in the highest terms to tlie advanc- es lately made at that hospital in, the early detection of diseases of, the stomach by means of this in-| strument, which will in the inime-' diate future probably come to bo: |)art of the e(iiiipment of every up-' to date hospital. The gastroscope' now enables the physician or sur-' geon to actually see for himself thel (•xact condition of the whole of the' interior of the stomach, the slight- j est ulceration, growth or other ab-l noimality in the lining membrane being thus readily observed. To be able to do this is of the very great- est importance in suspected can- cer of the stonuudi, where the only hoiio of cure lies in the eradica- tion of the cancerous growth at the very earliest moment. 'Tliis means tht.l the increase<l use of the gas- trf scope will in the future save many lives that would otherwise in- evitably be lost through that dis- ease. â€" London Telegraph.
