But how to start about it I had no notion, and finally I made up my mind to go and consult him when I make my way only at a snafl’a' pace, asking new guidance at every corner. Noon was long past when at length I came on laggard around the corner by the Amour de Dleu. Yet was it not fatigue that weighted my feet, but pride.‘ Though I had re- solved to seek out Maitre Jacques, still ’twas a, hateful thing to enter as sup- pliant where I had been the patron. I had paid for my breakfast like 8. lord, but I should have to beg for my din- ner. I had bragged of monsieur’s fond- ness, and I should have to tell how I had been flung under the coach wheels. My pace slackened to a stop. I could not bring myself to enter the door. I tried to think how to better my story, so to tell it that it should re- dound to my credit. But my invention stuck in my pate. Jacques the Innkeeper. ’Twas easier said than done. I had strayed out of the friendly Rue St. Denis into a. network of dark and, new row ways, that might have been laid out by a wily old stag with the dogs hot on him, so did they twist and turn and double on themselves. I . could As I stood striving to summon up a jaunty demeanor I found myself gaz- ing straight at the shuttered house, and of a sudden my thoughts shifted back to my vision. Those murdered Huguenots, dead and gone ere I was born, had appeared to me as plain as the men I passed in the street. Though I had beheld them but the space of a lightning flash I could call up their faces like those of my comrades. One, the nearest me, was small, pale, with pinched, sharp face, somewhat rat~like. The second man was conspicuously big and burly; black-haired and bearded. The third and youngestâ€"all three were youngâ€"- stood with his hand on Blackbeard’s shoulder. Hetoo was tall but slenderly built, with clear-cut visage and fair hair gleaming in the glare. One mo- ment; 1_ saw them, every feature plain; the next they had vanished like a It was an unholy‘thing, no doubt, yet it held me with a. shuddery fascination. Was it indeed a portent. this rising of hereticsgifrom their V nnblessed graves? And why had it"been'shown to me, true son of the Church? Had any one else ever seen what I'had seen? Maitre Jacques had hinted, at further terrors andeaid no ’one [dared enter the place. Well. grant me but the oppcjrtunlty and I would dare. wâ€"u _-VV _ V Thus was hatched in my ‘brain the notion of forcing an entrance into that banned house. I was an idle boy, foot- loose and 'free to do whatever mad mischief presented itself. Here \was the house just across the street. ' I hoped it did. for there .was no use in trying to batter down this door with the eye of the, Rue poupgjaryetgupoq ~--v me. I turned along the side street. and after exploring several muck-heaped alleys found one that led me into a small square court bounded on three sides by a tall house with shuttered windows. _ _ Fortune was favoring me. But how to gain entrance. The two doors were both firmly fastened. The windows on, the ground floor were small, high and iron-shuttered. Above one or two shut- ters swung half open, but I could not climb the smooth wall. Yet I did not despair; I was not‘without experience of shutters. I selected one cioeed not quite tight, leaving a crack for my knife-blade. I found the hook inside, got my dagger under it and at length drove it up. The shutter creaked shril- Neglected as it was. it remainedthe most nretentious edifice in the row, being large and flaunting a half-defac- ed coatâ€"of-arms over the door.

From this, once a porter's room, I fancied, I passed out into a hallway dimly lighted from the open window behind me. The hall was large, paved with black and white marbles; at the end a stately stairway mounted into mysterious gloom. .m .__-__.n..3._.1 UJUUULCU. 1‘.th uâ€"IJâ€"vv-â€"'__ ‘1 . > .
