"Such thing as robbery is unheard

Dumont, 'and II Macaire did escape

Come, Charles" he cried to the young
man, who had fingered few PAGES be-

CHAPTER XII.
THE PLOT.

The two strangers had remained mo-
tionless in their place Of concealment un-
til M. Dumont and his three companions
had disappeared into the house. They
then looked cautiously round to see II
there was any one there likely to observe
their movements, and finding the court
yard was quite empty save for the poor
woman, whose back was toward them
and whose head was sunk upon her fold
ed arms in an attitude either Of exhaus-
tion or of despair-probably of both
they emerged from the shadow-two sim
lister forms-and seated themselves again
beneath the trees.
Bertrand's face was CHASTITY pale, and
his coarse features wore an expression Of
uncomfortable terror.
"You heard" he muttered while his
teeth chartered and a shudder convulsed
his frame. You heard what they said"
The other made no answer, but sat
silent, thinking with an expression on
his face which would not have reas-
sured M. Germenil regarding the safety
of his money could he have seen it.
"Heinl Remond," repeated the other,
'is it not time to go? We have a good
opportunity now while there is no one
about. You heard" he again repeated in
a terrified tone and lowering his voice
still more, "you heard that namew
"Bah" said the other, "always cow
ard Am l man, think you, to be
frightened mt a name? Listen to me,
Bertrand, if you are not in too cursed a
fright to understand what l say. You
heard what the old man said about the
10000 francs he had in his pocketbook.
Well, that has decided me to remain
here tonight"
What! You are not afraid-you mean
to-
II am not afraid, and do not mean
to leave here without that money"
mo, no; it is too dangerous" said
Bertrand, rising to his feet; 81 will not
stay; you can do as you like"
"Sit down." said the other in tone Of
concentrated fury and grasping his COM
panion's wrist with a grasp of steel,
which literally forced him back into his
place.
"Take care what you're about. You
know I'm dangerous when I'm crossed.
/ am determined to have this money.
We will share alike but you shall stay
and do your part or You know what
/ am capable of, or you ought to, by this
time," he added with look which made
the others blood run cold, and as he did
know pretty well the stuff his compan-
lon was made Of he decided that on the
whole his best plan would be to remain.

iUhc cUTC WNUt you're UDOut.
Having thus settled their little differ
ences Of opinion, Remond went on to ex-
plain his plan. He reminded his confed-
crate Of the bunch Of keys which Charles
had left with Pierre and which contained
q key for each room In the house, each
key with its own label attached. They
knew from the directions which they had
overheard Charles give Pierre as to the
distribution Of tho rooms which room NJ.
Germenil would occupy. The first thing
to be done was, having engaged room
for themselves. to obtain access to the
bunch of keys and take off the one which
opened NJ. Germenirs door. IL would
probably require some adroitness In or
der to get possession of the key, but sure
ly between them they ought to easily out
wit villageois like Pierre. The key
once in their possession the rest would be
easy enough. AS soon as the house was
quite quiet and every one fast asleep
"and these country folks sleep sound
they would by means Of the stolen key
enter NJ. Germenils room, possess them
selves Of the precious booty, and then
hey for tho roadl
Remond calculated that, considering
early country hours and the fatiguing
busy day they had had, the household
would be fast asleep by If o'clock, and
that ut 12 o'clock at latest they ought TO
be able to carry out their plan and be off,
which would give them good six hours
start before M. Germenil would be likely
10 discover his loss, TO say nothing Of the
time 1t would take to communicate with
the gendarmes and the time that would
be wasted deciding in which direction
the search should be pursued.
But" said bertrand, "supposing that

greatest sympathy, and who indeed must
be fatigued after such a busy day.
What could he and his friend do to as
sist nj. Pierre-his friend who was also
at his seryicel
Oh. there was really nothing to be
done, explained Pierre, except to fetch
the wine, and that was nothing. Well,
they would at least accompany him. He
would surely not refuse them that satis-
faction.
Having taken his basket, Pierre was
about to start, but Remond, observ-
ing no signs Of the keys, suggested
that his dear M. Pierre had forgotten to
take them. Pierre, however, explained
that the key Of the cave was in the door.
and that the bunch of keys TO which
Remond referred contained the dupli-
Gates of those in use in case Of any be-
ing lost. But" no continued, 81 have
