AS he said this 1 rose softly to my
feet and finding the broken pane with
out any difficulty peered in.
! The room was bright with the light
| of candles and, at a table, covered
with papers, were seated two men,
whilst a third was standing and point
| ing with his fingers at q scroll. In the
man with his back to me [ had no
| difficulty in recognizing de Gomeron;
| the one looking towards me was as
suredly Biron, for his was a face that
/ once seen could never be forgotten
AS for the man who was standing be-
side him, l knew him not though
subsequently-but I anticipate.
Biron was evidently in high state
of excitement. He was biting at the
end of his dark mustache, and the
fingers of his hands were playing nerv-
| ously with the star on his breast,
whilst his shifty, treacherous eyes were
turning now on de Gomeron, now on
the figure standing at his elbow. He
seemed to be hesitating, and 1 heard
de Gomeron say:
This is my price-not money, not
land, not a title, but only a few words
You have each one, my lords, your
share of the spoils set down in writing
I do not want so much even-all I ask
is your word of honor to favor my
suit with the king. For me the word
of Biron is enough, and I know his
majesty can refuse you nothing"
My God!'. exclaimed Biron, and
might give me the promise 1 seek
Lafin," and de Gomeron turned to the
man who was standing at Biron's ell
bow, the word will give me wife,
not much of a reward
And the lands of Bidache and Pc
louSe-eh?"
I almost fell forward in my eager
ness to hear. and only checked my
self in time.
Exactly" sneered de Gomeron. DO
you think have risked my life for the
good Of my health? See here, cheva-
Her." and he bent forward and whis-
pered word or so that made the other
pale, and then de Gomeron leaned back
in his chair and smiled. Biron did not
apparently see or hear, his forehead
was resting on his clasped hands, and
he seemed to be revolving the hazard of
some great step. AS for me- 1 thought
[ caught the words, your instant help"
followed by 'lances" and power" and
guessed was not wrong-that the
captain had forced Lafin's hand.
MY dear de Gomeron," he said, "the
marshal Is willing enough, but you
know the common talk, that the king
has other views for madame, and that

seigneur, an open hand makes faithful
hearts," said Latin.
But the king would never consent"
began Biron.
"Give me your word to help me, mon
seigneur; will do the rest for myself"
"Give 1t, my lord"
Biron hesitated for a moment, and

CHAPTER Y.-coNTINUEp.


Monsieur" he answered hoarsely,
taking me by the sleeve of my dOublet,
Il know not; but a fortnight. ago he
came here with a score of lanceS at his
back, and the kings commission in his
pocket, and he lords it as II he were
the duke himself. Yesterday a great
noble came up from the Blaisois, and
another whose name. l know not has
come from Paris-and they hatch trea-
sen against the king. Monsieur, l can
prove this You saved my life once, and
beast as l am now, | am still grateful.
Come with me, l will settle my score
with him, and tomorrow you can bear
news 10 the court that will make you a
great man."
1t was one Of those moments that re-
Quire instant decision. l was certainly
not going to assist Nicholas in commit
ting q murder. Any such plan of his
would be easily stopped, but If what
the man said was true then he had
given me information that might be of
the greatest value to me. If 1t was
false, WE'LL then I should have a FOOLS
errand for my pains, but be otherwise
none the worse off. There was no time
to question him in detailHfor a second
I was silent, and Marie looked from one
to another of us, with wide-Open eyes.
You have a horse?" asked.
Yes, monsieur-it is hidden in the
forest not 3UU tOlSeS from mere.
I'VE are ready, NJ. lie Chevalier," and
Jacques voice broke in upon US, JAG
ques himself standing IL the doorway.
My mind was made UP that instant,
and 1 decided to take the chance.
Jacques" 1 said, II have business
here tonight, which must be done alone
ride on, therefore, yourself to Rou-
Vres and await me at the Grand Cert.
II any one tries to hinder you say that
you ride for your master in the king
name If I am not at Rouvres by
morning make your way to Septeull.
If 1 do not arrive in two days, go home
and do the best you can for yourself
you follow"
Monsieur"
"Adieu, then-and Marie, here is some
thing as a wedding portion for YOU"
and l thrust a handful of gold pieces
into her palm, and being moved by
many things. added:
when this is over, you and Nicholas
go to Auriac. 1 will arrange for you
there
The girl stared blankly at me for
moment, th5n suddenly caught my hand
and kissed it, and then with a rapid
movement flung herself into her lovers
arms.
NO" she said, "no-take back your
gift. monsieur-he will not co."
Nonsense, Marie" and Nicholas
gently released her arms. Il have
come back to you to mend my ways,
and must begin by paying my debts
