Eft s'ils s'avisaient de Sc reveiller,
fit le mulatre, avec un 6cIair fauve
dams le regard, j'ai lie moyen de les
rendormir pour longtemps
Et il montra ses deux poings
-Je ne dis pas, poursuivit lie

-Oui, c'est convenu.
Done, aucun danger, 81 vous etes

Nous travaillerons cette mutt, dit
lie muiatre, prenant une decision. A
quelle heure
--Vers deux heures. Sill y await
du nouveau, sill survenait quelque
accroc, vous connaissez lie signal?
-Une bougie a la fenetre.
-C'est entendu.
-Et maintenant, parlons d'autre

Tout de meme.
Ca nous donnera du ceur au
ventre.
LIE chef Sc tourna vers ses acolytes.
Vous etes bien decides, tous :?
Cest pour ce soir !?

lie mulatre, auquel l'approche dune
bonne affaire semblait avoir dome de
l'entrain, frappa sur la table a coups
redoubl6s. Tn gareon entrebailla la
porte.
Une tiOle du cognac, ct du raide
A &c moment, lie vieillard endormi
Sc rcdressa en- Sc frottant les yeux.
Ii await pas perdu un' mot de la
