IN pet a glimpse of her. Then was
bonnd hand and foot and lifted by
counIa of men. After being carried
short space was thrust into a litter
and as this was done | heard faint
cry from Claude; and l groaned in my
heart, for / was powerless 10 help
The litter went forward at ioltins
mace. and from the echo of hoois
around it gathered that there were at
least a dozen mounted men about me.
Sometimes ! heard a brief order given
bv de Gomeron, and the sound of his
voice made me certain that madame
was with US If SO there might still be
hope. and | lay still and tried to fol-
low our route by the movement OF the
party, but could see nothing; and aft
er a time my brain began TO get con-
fused. for we turned this way and that,
up side streets, down winding roads
until the thing became impossible.
Once we were challenged by the
watch and my captor answered boldly:
NJ de Gomeron, of the marshal's
guards, with prisoners for the cbatelet;
let us pass in the kings name
l heard the words and strove to call
out, but the gag was too secure. AT
any rate ! had learned one thing-we
were going in the direction of the
| chatelet. Who, then, was Babette?
had heard the name once before on
the night that | lay wounded before La
Fere. and an inspiration seemed to
| come on me; and was certain that the
night hag and dc Gomeron's Babette
were one and the same.
Then we jolted on for about another
half hour-we must have passed the
chatelet by this when suddenly the
| litter took a sharp turn to the right
and after going little way was put to
the ground.
After half hour or so was dragged
out and heard n woman's voice:
This way, my lambs; the gentle
mems room is below, very far below
out of all drafts" and she laughed with
the same pitiless note in her voice tina,
| had heard once before, and / knew il
was the murderess.
Down a winding stair we went, and
remained passive, but mentally counted
the steps and the turns. There were Is
steps and three turns, at each of which
there was apparently door, and ther
we stopped. There was jingling OF
keys, the harsh grating noise of bolt
being drawn back, and Babette spoke
again:
"Monsieur's apartment is ready-'tis
the safest room in the Toison dor
Then was flung in heavily as l was and
the door bolted behind me.
