Louis and Ruoul gave no signs of life, because, like expert hunters, they were wilently hiding and watching for a favorâ€" wbie opportunity of pouncing upon their victims, Never losing sight of Prosper for a day, Raoul had exbausted every offort of his fertile mind to compromise his honor, to inâ€" snare him into some inextricable entangleâ€" ment. â€" But, as he had foreseen, the casbier‘s indifference offered little hope of success. j Clamerzn began to grow impatient at this delay, and had fuily determiued to bring matiers to a crisis himself when one night, about three o‘clock, he was aroused by Ruoul. _ a 5 ME g _ t He knew that some event of great imporâ€" tance must have happened to muke his nephew come to his house at this hour of the night. o D kl PCR "What is the matter!" he anxiously inquired. "Perhaps nothing; perhaps every thing. I have just left Prosper." ""Well *! "I had him, Madame Gipsy, â€" and three other friends to dine with me. .

"Aiter the game was over we went to supper; Prosper became intoxicated, and betrayed the sccret name with which he closes the money safe." & At these words Clameran uttered a ery of triumph. "What was the word ?" "The name of his friend." "Gipsy ! _ Yes, that would be five letters." s â€" Louis was so excited that he jamped out of bed, slipped on his dressingâ€"gown, and began to stride up and down the chamber. TE Ne t T "Now we have got him !" he said, with vindictive satisfaction, â€" ‘‘There‘s no chance of escape for him now! Ab, the virâ€" tuous cashier won‘t touch the money conâ€" fided to him ; so we must touch it for him. The disgrace will be just as great, no matâ€" ter who opens the safe.

The scounâ€" drels made all their arrangements, and fixâ€" ed the day for committing the orime. They selected the evering of the 27th of February, because Raoul knew that M.

Raoul was calm, but resolute. â€" The shameful deed he was about to commit would givre him riches, and release him from a hateful servitude. His one thought was liberty, as Louis‘ was Midalcine. 34 finel verything seemed to progress finely. The Iznker‘ did not ask }c’w the notice zl time, but promised to pay the money at the specified hour.

Reflection gradually betrayed tfic blackness of the contemplated CHAPTER XIX, HOW IT WAS DOXE Clameran‘s last injunction to Raoul was : "Be very cautious when you enter the room; your appearance must tell everyâ€" thing, so you can avoid preliminary explanâ€" ations." ‘The recommendation was useless. ‘The instant thst Raoul went into the ABBP M o little salon the sight of his pale, haggard face and wild eyes caused Mme.
