He did not see fit to reply to this, but paced the floor in as great agita~ tion as before.

And Senhor Piexoto is also requested to be present." “However,” said I, somewhat re- covering myself, “we shall now secure his body from that grim vault.

I must satisfy myself that neither Harcliffe nor Piexoto has the ring, in order that I may report to the Emperor.” As he spoke he rose and walked quietly toward the door, as if be ex- pected Valcour to follow. But the spy, suddenly suspicious, cast a shrewd glance at me and replied: “A mystery, my dear Valcour. Have you yet identified the man this Mexi- can murdered?” “Not yet.” “I myself have not had a. good look at the body. If you will take me to him I will endeavor to locate the fellow. It was doubtless he who murdered Ma- dam Izabel." “Frankly, I do not know. Not a con~ spirator I am sure, and evidently not a. rovalist " “Then how came he to know of the existence of the ring?” “I have searched the prisoner al- ready,” he announced, “but failed to find the ring. Doubtless he has passed it to Piexoto, or secreted it. Or, it may be, the Mexican’s words are mere ravings.” The detective hesitated. “Wno is this Mexican, Senhor Paola?” he asked. Paola turned with a slight shrug and resumed his seat. myself just come from the Mexican's room and heard his ravings. But the task must be mine, since the Emper- or has placed the search for the key in my hands.” “You were doubtless about to search the prisoner, senhor,” said the spy, calmly, as he approached us. “I have “Hold!" cried a clear voice, and as Paola swung around upon his heel I saw beyond him the form of Valcouzj outlined by the dark doorway. He rose and advanced to me with a soft. stealthy tread, and I backed away until I stood fairly against the wall, vainly endeavoring to find some way to circumvent him. “He does, indeed,” acknowledged Paola. "And he tells exactly where the ring was placedâ€"In the outer pocket of your jacket. Will you pardon me, senhor, It I prove the truth of his as- letdon?“ “He raves," said I, coolly, although my heart was beating wildly. “No; but the Mexican 13.

In setting free these birds you have fired the torch of rebellion; that terrible flame which is liable to “So. my dear Minister, I have at last discovered your secnet!" said a sharp voice. and as Paola whirled about I noted that Valcour had entered the room and was standing with folded arms and eyes that sparkled trium- phantly. “Orders to my men," remarked the Minister, quietly, and brushed a small feather from his arm. Next he drew a. note-book from his pocket, scribbled some lines upon three several leaves, and then, tearing them out, he reached within the box, taking care to lift but a portion of the cover, and busied himself some mo- ments in a way that made me wonder what he could be doing. I had no sus- picion of the truth until he carried the box to the window and quickly re- moved the cover. Then, although his back was toward me, I heard a rapid flutter of wings, followed by a strange silence, and I knew that Paola was fol- lowing with his eyes the flight of the birds he had liberated. He had in his hand a small parcel that looked like a box, which he placed up_o_n a gable near the open window. My thoughts were naturally confus- ed by the amazing discovery we had just made, and I was so engaged in wondering what had become of Dom Miguel and the records that I scarcely looked up when the door opened to ad- mit Francisco Paola. . Piexoto had been taken elsewhere, any! I found myself alone. But Valcour was waiting for me at the trap door, and called Captain de Souza to guard me. I was taken to the large room on the ground floor, from whence they had brought me, thrust through the doorway, and the key turned upon me. I followed slowly in‘the train of the party as it wound its way through the narrow passage and up the iron stairs into the library. My hand-cuffs had been removed when I was brought to open the vault, and an idea came to me to lag behind and try to effect my escape from the house. “Have peace, Valcour!" growled the Emperor. “Senhor Francisco has proved his loyalty, and doubtless shares our chagrin, Come, gentlemen, let us leave this dismal place." vants ?” “Your Majesty,” said Paola,â€" without moving his head, “will you kindly pro- tectA 1519 from the insults of your ser- “Traitor!” he cried, with a. passion- ate gesture, “ it is you who haVe done this!

Paola Stood beside me with the old aggravating simper upon his face, twirlm‘g one end of his moustache. Valcour was’ on his binds 5171a knees, prying into the corners for some scrap tOhat might have been overlooked. The records of the Revolution were gone. The body of Miguel de Pintra was gone. Thank God, the great and glorious Cause was as yet safe! With a bound I stood within the grim vault and searched its confines with anxious eyes. True enough, the place was empty. Not a scrap of paper, a book, or a bank-note had been left there. The shelves that lined the walls were as bare as Mother Hubbard's cup- board. ' “Good God!” cried the Emperor, with staring eyeballs, “the vault . is empty!” But no one moved. The light illumin- ated the full interior of the great vault, and every eye gazed eagerly within. Valcour uttered a groan of bafled rage; Piexoto swore horribly in a scarcely audible tone, and the Minis- ter of Police laughed. “Good God!” cried the Ember-or. Reaching my hand within the vault I turned the switch that threw on the electric light, and then withdrew that the others might enter. ‘ I saw that further resistance was useless. Bending over, I fitted the stone of the ring into the proper in- dentation, and shot the bolts. The great door was swung upward, a whit! of the damp, confined air entened my nostrils and made me shiver. "Yes, 1' designed it,” said the Minis- ter, “but I did not execute the work. Doubtless in time I could open the door; but the Emperor is impatient.“ CHAPTER XVII.

During this time I had ample oppor- tunity to speculate upon the astonish~ lng events of the morning; but my at- tempt to solve the problem of what had become of Dom Miguel and the records seemed absolutely futile. That the body of the chief had been re- removed by some friendly handâ€"the same that had saved the funds and papersâ€"there was no doubt whatever. But when had this removal. taken place ? The day dragged wearily away. One of the Uruguayans brought me food at noontime, and I ate with good appe- tite. The room grew close, but when‘I attempted to raise the window the surly. guard outside presented his car~ bine, and I respected his wish to leave the sash lowered. Well, I longed to leave the place myself, now that the emptiness of the secret vault had been disclosed: but for some reason my captors desired me to remain a prisoner. "Com'e, 'my brave detective." said be; “we will go to the Emperor to gether, and accuSe each other to our heartS’ content!" He attempted to take Valoour’a arm. in his inimitable jaunty fashion; but the spy shook him 0!! and followed 1 i Paola from the room. trembling with _. ,v suppressed rage. 7 _ I tried to see if the Minister of P0- lice was among those who were re- turning to Rio, but. was unable to note his presence in the brief time the car- riages were in view. Nor did Vaicour seem to be with them. Captain de Souza evidently remained in charge of the guards left at the mansion. Within my range of vision was a pox:- tion of the driveway, and presently I saw the Emperor’s carriage roll away. followed by several others. Piexoto was seated in the last of the carriages. but only a. small portion of the Uru- guayan guard accompanied the cor~ tege. I obeyed, sliding the sash to Its place. But still I gazed through the glass at the labyrinth of walks and hedges defining the extensive gardens at this side of the house. I knew every inch of these grounds, having wan- dered there many hours during my so- journ at the mansion. And the thought came to me that it would not be dim- cult to escape in that maze of hedge and shrubbery, had I once a fair start of my pursuers. “av. glad the torch of revolution really been red?

One moment I called him traitor; the next I was sure he was faithful to the Cause. But who could judge the man aright? Not I, indeed! Thus reflecting, I approached the window and looked out. Eight feet be- low me one of the Uruguayan guards paced back and forth upon the green lawn, his short carbine underneath his sign, and a poniard‘ swinging at his 8 e.
