CUL JIOHL CUT W EUI.
Having finished the division of the
money, they left the room, locked the
door behind them, taking the key away.
and returned to their room with the
same caution they had used when set
ting out to accomplish their nefarious
project.
AS they passed by Marie's door with
noiseless football Remond listened mo-
ment, and devilish thought sprang to
life in his brain-that here perhaps was
safety-here> a victim tolbear the burden
of their guilt and it's punishment.
AS they reached their chamber, the
clock chimed the quarter after midnight.
AS soon as they were safely in the
room and the door locked, Remond took
off his coat and sitting down proceeded
to secure the notes carefully between the
lining and the cloth. This he did with
quite a cheerful air, as of man con-
tented with himself. Occasionally he
paused moment in his task and smiled
to himself, as at his own thoughts-an
ugly smile it was-a smile that BODIED i'll

Bertrand watched him for while
with i'll concealed impotence and at
last said:
"What are you wasting time for?
That can be done as well outside. There
is no time to lose. The night is already
far advanced, and we must be many
miles from here by daybreak."
''Not at all!'' replied the other. 1--WE
are much safer here under the circum-
stances, and here I mean to stay till
morning!"
''Safer!' repeated the other. Safer!
Why, when they discover what has hap
pened, we as strangers will be the first
to be suspected. They will send for the
gendarmes, and then-ah!" he went on
with shudder, sit makes my blood

companion: GU think yourself so clev-

So, after some further arrangements
as to their proceedings in the morning,
these two scoundrels went to bed and

She looked eUtldly round as If seeking q
means Of escape.
Remond looked at her with cynical
smile, and then hearing Pierre outside
the door he coolly sauntered back to his
seat. THAT was neatly done. Really a
bad character is useful to one sometimes
in escaping from difficulty. Now, if l
had been one of your virtuous young
men, she would not have been so anx-
ious tf get away"
Pierre came in with many excuses for
having kept them waiting. But he said
he had been detained by the arrival OF
the sous-officier Of gendarmes from the
next poste with three of his men, who
were now seeing their horses being put
up and who would be in presently to
their breakfast.
He is capital company, is the briga-

she weighed but IS pounds and although she
has taken only three bottles of Nervine she
now weighs 106 pounds; her nervousness and
symptoms of st. Vitus dance are entirely gone,
she attends school regularly, and studies with
comfort and ease. She has recovered complete
use Of her arm, her appetite is splendid, and
no money could procure for our daughter the
health DR.. Miles Nervine has brought her.
