me.

engaging quality of Mr.. Gladstone was
his old world courtesy to everyone. Ii
was not put on or put off. Tt was in

had the ceremouious manner of the old

his manner was deferential; careless
observers might regard his humility as
assumed, or even as hypocriticaI. 1t

lived in the presence of the unseen.
Like the Puritans OF old, he saw the
hand of God in all events of life. To

On the rich and the eloquent, on the
mobiles and dignitaries, he looked down
with contempt, for he was rich in a
treasure that thieves cannot break
through nor steal; he was eloquent in
a language revealed to him from on
high; he was noble by the right of an
earlier creation than any inscribed in
the college of arms, and the priesthood
of his life was conferred by a n imposi-

took his hand in all frankness, and
he embraced me as son, and then, in
awhile, Belin said:
I'VE must be up and doing early to-
morrow, and d'Auriac is in need of rest.
He will share my bed here tonight, and
harkee, Palm! Rouse us with the
dawn"
We then parted, the Pantins showing
the Huguenot to his chamber. and
Jacques but waiting for moment or so
to help me off with my dripping things.
Ny valises were still lying in the room,
and | was thus enabled to get the
change of apparel so much needed.
When at last we were abed | found it
impossible to sleep, and Belin was at
first equally wakeful. For this | was
thankful, as / began to grow despon-
dent, and felt that after all | had lost
the game utterly. But the viscompte's
courage never faltered, and in spite of
myself | began to be cheered by his
hopefulness. He explained to me fully
how came that he was at tie Rue
des Deux Mondes. He wished to dis
cuss with Palm some means for discov-
ering me, and as the Huguenot, fearing
to return to the rue Varenne after what
had to happen, and yet unwilling to
leave Paris, had sought Pantin's home,
de Belin had determined to pass the
night here to consult with him, giving
out to his people that he had gone on
business to MonceauX.
II will see Sully the first thing to-
morrow" he said, as we discussed our
plans, "and if | mistake not, it is more
than madame we will find at the Toi-
son dor. Be of good cheer, d'Auriac-
your lady will come to no harm. The
carmarguer is playing too great game
to kill a goose that is likely to lay him
golden eggs. I'm afraid, though, he has
spoilt greater game for his master"
How do you mean?" 1 asked, inter
ested in spite of myself.
"Only this, that unless you are ex-
tremely unfortunate | regard the res
cue of Nine. de Bidache as certain-1
am as certain that this will lead to the
arrest of de Gomeron and his confed
erates-they will taste the wheel, and
that makes loose tongues, and it may
lead to details concerning NJ. de Biron
that we sadly need"
"It seems to me that the wheel is
perilously near to me as we'll"
There is the edct, of course" said
de Belin, but madame's evidence will
absolve you, and we can arrange that
you are not put to the question at
once"
The cool way in which he said this
would have moved me to furious anger
against him did not know him to be so
true friend. AS it was | said sharply:
Thank you; will take care that the
wheel does not touch me-"
VERY WELL" he answered.; and now
l shall sleep-good night"
He turned on his side and seemed to
drop off at once, and as l lay through
the weary hours of that night l some
times used to turn to the still figure at
my side with envy at the peace of his
slumber.

finging him a crown, bade him drink
the rest of the bottle for good luck. The
scoundrel drank it there and then, and
as soon as he had done so returned to

not to be denied.
"Monsieur is out early, I see"
Monsieur is out late, you mean," !
made answer, playing my part and
longing for Pantin to return.
"Ho! ho!" he roared. "a good joke.
Captain, do not know you, but tell me
your name, and curse me if | do not
drink your health in Arbois the day you
ride to Montfaucon."
You will know my name soon
enough" | answered, humoring the fell
low, "and promise to send you the
Arbois the day / ride there. / may tell
you that it was to the Toison dor was
recommended by my friends, but your
Beaugency and your company are so
good, compere, that shall make this
my house to call during my stay in
the Fauborg st. Martin" And at that
moment I caught sight of Pantin.
"There is another crown to drink to
our friendship, and, mind you, keep
as good a flask for me against my re
turn at noon. Au revoir. have a busi-
ness at my lodging"
The wretch overwhelmed me with
thanks and stood at the door watching
me as | crossed over the street with
warning glance to Pantin, and strolled
slowly onward. A little further on !
turned to my left, keeping well in the
middle of the road to avoid the filth and
refuse thrown carelessly on each side,
and as turned I saw that my man had
gone in. I was certain of one thing,
that the Toison dor was not far off,
and whilst l picked my way slowly
along, Pantin came up to me with his
sing-song whine.
"IIave you found it?" ! asked in low
tone.

At this moment a figure rose up from
the steps of a house, where | had no

me, and swung forward.
"Hola! '1is monsieur lie capitaine-
has your excellency tasted the Beau
gency-the dog poison? tell your ex-
cellency, there is but one house in the
Fauborg where they sell 1.-THE Toison
dor"
"Go and drink some there, them"
and | tossed him piece of silver.
He picked it up from the road where
it had fallen, like a dog snatching at a
bone, and then stood surveying the
coin which he held in the open palm of
his hand.
"You might" he said, they
wouldn't serve me-" and then with
drunken familiarity he came close to
my elbow. "I'll show you the Toison

dor. It is there-the second turn to
the left and then straight before you.
As for mel go back to taste Grigot's
Beaugency-his dog poison" he repeat
ed with the spiteful insistence of a man
in his cups.
"The fool in his folly speaketh wis
DOM" Pantin muttered under his
breath, and then the man, staggering
from me, attempted to go back whenc,
he had been flung. But either the
morning air was too strong for him, OF
else he was taken with a seizure of some
kind, for ere he had gone ten PAGES he
fell forward on his face and lay there
in the slime of the street.
At any other time | would have
stopped to assist the man, but now
could only look upon his condition as
a direct interposition of Providence,
and I let him lay where he had fallen.
Come, Pantin," l cried, "we have
found the spot"
Following the direction given by our
guide, we found he had not deceived us,
and in few minutes | was standing at
the entrance of the blind passage at
one end of which was the Toison dor.
