Isabel obeyed. She went to her own room
at the back of the drawing room, and
there, with door locked and boited, she
listened. For long time she waited and
listened Presently she heard voices-they
were not loud voices. Chiefly she heard
one voice. and it was divers. Then there
was silence. When she was quite sure that
there was but one person left she unlocked
the door and came out.
Left alone, Oliver prepared for possbili-
ties. These were manifold. The man might
become fierce; he might recognize the Irish
refugee; he might refuse to obey, in which
case it would be necessary to shoot him.
Accordingly, Oliver placed the two candles
on table behind a screen; they afforded
a dim light on the ceiling of a single cor
ner in the great room; he placed himself
behind table his pistols cooked in readi-
ness; he loosened his sword in the scab-
bard and he prepared to wait. He sat ex-

Oliver raised his pistol. Take one single

them to drag out the body of the burglar"

the large canine brigade attached to the
Paris police. They are used almost exclu-

by the use of dummy bodies which are
tossed into the river and rescued with ex-
