perhaps we shall tide over tonight,
after all-who knows?" said Lomaque,
ringing his hand bell for lights They
were brought in, and with them omi-
nously returned the police agent Ma
gloire with small sealed packet. 1t
contained an arrest order and a tiny
three-cornered note, looking more like
a love letter or lady's invitation to
party than anything else. Lomaque
opened the note eagerly and read these
lines, neatly written, and signed with
Robespierre's initials-M. R.-formed
elegantly in cipher:
ARREST Trudaine and his sister to-
night. On second thoughts | am not
sure if Danville comes back in time to
be present, that it may not be all the
better He is unprepared for his wife's
arrest. Watch him closely when it
takes place, and report privately to me.

all things 1 abhor Vice.

asked Magloire, with yawn.

grumbed Magloire to himself, as he
went out THE devil seize the Aristo-

even give a man time to eat his vic

There's no choice now" muttered
Lomaque, angrily thrusting the arrest
order and the three-cornered note into
his pocket. His father was the saw
ing of me; he himself welcomed me like
an equal; his sister treated me like Il
gentleman, as the phrase went in those
days, and now"
He stopped and wiped his forehead
then unlocked his desk. produced bot
tie of brandy, and poured himself out
a glass of liquor, which he drank by
sips, slowly.
II wonder whether other men get
softer hearted as they grow older?" he
said. 81 seem to do 50, at any rate

exclaimed Lomaque, locking up the
brandy bottle, and taking his hat
AFTER ALL as this arrest is to be made

Consoling himself as he best could
with this reflection, Chief Police Agent
Lomaque blew out the candles, ant
quilted the room.
