1o-udy, containing PARTICULARS oA LIZ
Jaquet's history.
When Philippe had concluded reading
them, he rose from his seat and flung up his
| arms in despair, and there went through the
room an exceeding bitter cry-a cry of heart
broken sorrow and of bafled vengeance.
"Oh! mother, mother" he exclaimed,
''what is this you have done? This villain
must go freel"
And then he sank back into his chair,
bowed his head and wept.
VIII.
The next afternoon Mr.. Doggett directed
his course once more to Cornwall road by
| appointment
Philippe Jaquet, in the depth of his
misery, when the whole meaning of the
secret that had been so long kept from him
burst on his mind with appalling distinct
ness, grew too prostrate to think. It was as
if a hideous darkness had descended upon
his spirit and blotted out the light utterly.
The detective, after much difficulty, suo-
ceeded in calming him, and after obtaining
promise that he would take no step with
out consulting him, took his leave.
Feel my hands," said Philippe, as Dog
gett was shown in the room, "they are like
burning Goals now, but have myself under
command. You will see. I want you to
come with me-"
where to?" asked the detective warily.
ITO Harley street, of course" Philippe
replied. "No, don't attempt to divert me
from my purpose" he continued, as Mr..
Doggett made as though he would speak.
Nothing can do that, but want you to see
that respect my promise. / will not in
jure one hair of his head. Those were the
words think"
The detective, satisfied with the renewal
of the promise, took the bag containing the
papers, and set out with Philippe for Har-
ley street.
As they came within sight of the house
Victoria drove past them rapidly. The oc-
cupants were DR.. Jaquet and the woman,
for whose sake he had stepped himself in
wrong and worked bitterest misery to his
wife and frst-born son.
A silent pressure on Philippe's arm, as
the carriage drew up before the house and
discharged its occupants, helped him to
divine the identity of the pair who tripped
lightly up the steps. A few PAGES more
and he and Doggett were standing before
the still open door.
"Dr. Jaquet sees no one at this hour"
said the footman in reply to Philippe's re-
quest for an interview; but on receiving
this response, he pushed past the footman.
81 must see DIR. Jaquet Immediately" he
and death. and will not wait"
"Step this wav. said DR.. Jaouet who
was at that moment ascending the staircase
and had been arrested in his nrogress by
the commotion, as Philippe, closely fol-
lowed by Doggett, forced his way into the
hall. So saying, DR.. Jaquet led the way
into his consulting room.
For the first time after the lapse of years,
father and son stood face to face. while
Doggett felt his heart humping against the
walls of his chest at the dramatic situation
swhose ending he could not foresee. DIR.

I was the first to sneak.
HYour case is one of oreat uroencv9" he
said.
"Very great urpency. indeed " answered
Philippe "Look at me. Do YOU not know

DR.. Jaouet turned a steady gaze on his
inouisitor and smiled Significantly. as
though susn1cion had crossed his mind
that The voung man had taken leave of his
senses. He cast second look at Doggett,
and found his suspicious confirmed. His
visitor (whose excitement. though repressed.
was visible to the practised eve of the
physician) was no doubt some Young luna
tic. and the elderly man who accompanied
him was his keeper.
"Poor Young mani" he said softly, with
commiserating air, "has he been long in
this condition?"
'Don't prevaricate. Answer my aues-

sane as you are. Again, 1 ask, do YOU know
me?"
'No. never saw you before" was the re-

You lie," cried Philippe, passionately.
and he laughed a bitter strident laugh,
This is not the place for language of that
kind" said DIR, Jauuet, who remained
sheathed in impenetrable armor, though
the color that dyed his paIlid skin, and the
angry glitter in his ewes, showed that his
composure was only maintained by the ex-
ercise of great self.restraint.
"Who am I?'' returned Philippe. "I am
! YOU son, Philippe Jaouet."
DR.. Jauuet. who had remained standing
since his visitors had ignored his invitation
to be seated, fell back a step as If he had
been struck a sudden blow. For a mo-
ment his self-possession seemed to have
deserted him, but he quickly recovered his
imperturbable manner.
81 do not know any person who has the
right to call himself Philippe Jaouet."
''It is not a family name of the Jaquets," !"
replied Philippe sarcastically "I was
named after nv grandfather, M, Benoit, the
ayocat of Lille"
''That may be correct" said DIR. Jaluet
with great sang froid, "but these particulars
OF your family history are of no interest to
me-
