teau Villeneuve, from its long period Of
gloom and mourning, awoke one day with
bells pealing joyously from its towers.
its parks and woodlands smiling beneath
the radiance of the summer sun.
From an early hour old Pierre had been
awake. bustling hither and thither. He
expected visitors, and long before their
arrival, everything was in readiness for
their reception.
The train from Paris was in at last,
a merry group met on the platform, and
its members took carriages for the cha
teau. The first one was occupied by DR..
and Mrs. Paul Mason. The second by
Mr.. and Mrs. Van Lith. The third by
the mayor of Villeneuve and NJ. Delorme,
the justice Of the peace. The fourth by
NJ. D'Auburon and NJ. Victor Lablanche,
for the latter was a magnanimous gen.
tleman, and could forgive a victory when
a rival had fairly earned 1t.
1t was noon. Breakfast was quite
ready. The finest and Oldest wines In
the cellars of Villeneuve had been brought
up. The cooks were growing nervous.
Still they did not sit down to the table.
At last from the windows Of the great
drawing room they saw another carriage
approaching.
"You may serve breakfast" cried the
doctor. 1T Is he."

He stood confused for a moment as
they all rushed forward to welcome him

CHAPTER XIV.

1t was past three o'clock The Gordon
of men in plain clothes which completely
surrounded the house Of the Vicomte de
Valiar began to grow impatient. The
first streaks of dawn were already visible
in the east.
A few OF the guests among them the
Colbert -Remplins, had left some time be-
fore. But the majority fingered in the
inner salon watching with breathless in
terest the progress of a game the like of
which none of them had ever before wit
messed.
But four men remained at the table,
for the stakes had been increased enor-
mously. Those four were Herr Goldstein,
Jules Chabot, the Vicomte de Valiar and
the Swiss millionaire. The faces of the
combatants, for they were nothing else,
afforded an interesting study. The coun-
tenance of each painfully reflected the
intense anxiety of that moment
Two hundred and twenty-five thousand
francs lay on the table. No one would
yield and there was a call for yet an
other increase. Herr Goldstein, with a
sigh, folded his cards before him with
his enormous, trembling hands.
IL avail myself OF the privilege" he
said, 'and withdraw"
Jules Chabot, who acted as banker,
then handed the broker thirty-thousand
francs. 1t was half of his original stake
the other half of which lay on the table
This brings our pool down pretty low, I,
said the vicomte. Il raise it another
| twenty-fiv thousand francs"
The other two players then each placed
twenty-five thousand francs In the pool
| The spectators could not but notice the
excessive excitement Of Jules Chabot His
hands also trembled nervously. He held
good cards, but If the betting continued
he must inevitably drop out.
81 think it is my turn to call" he said
at last. II have my choice; challenge
you, Monsieur Lazare."
He put down his cards and spread them
out before him, the vicomte, according
to the rules Of the game. turning bis
head so that he could not see what cards
either Of his adversaries held.
When he again turned to the table
Jules Chabot had left it and NJ. Lazare
was sitting calmly awaiting him, with a
huge heap of notes and gold at his sde
1t was Jules Chabot's share of the pool
which by right of his superior hand had
passed into NJ. Lazare's possession. The
vicomte was at loss just exactly what to
do at that moment. He knew the kind Of
a hand he held was 80 good there were
but two other combinations which could
beat 1t. Was 1t possible that the mar
opposite him held such combination
Or was he simply trying to frighten him
into sharing the heavy stakes?
A moments reflection decided him or
his course. He had left nearly one hun
dred and fifty thousand francs as yet ua
staked. He would bet every sou Of this
perhaps NJ. Lazare would be unable tc
cover his bets, and according to the rules
Of the game he was compelled to do &c
or cease playing, for the game was what
was known as an unlimited one. He look

He left her and went hurriedly to the
door OF the conservatory and passed
thence into the outer salon. Jules Cha
bot came toward him smiling.

and passing through the fashionable
throng which surrounded the players, ht

OF a young lady, a countrywoman of
yours. 1t was years ago that this thing
happened. She was quite handsome, very
young, very romantic and foolish. When
she was eighteen years of age she met
an American. He also was young, hand

Nine. Colbert Remplin inclined her
head almost imperceptibly. She was list
ening to the history Of her own life. How
had this man brought to light the secrets
of the past which had, years ago, as she
believed, been hidden by the lapse Of
time"
Yielding to the Americans importu-
mites, this young lady contracted with
him a secret marriage. The result Of
their union was child-a boy The
marriage was concealed successfully
from the young woman's parents. By
the connivance of friend and pre-
tended visit to the country, its conse-
quences were also kept secret. Shortly
after the birth Of her child the young
woman returned to Paris, where she at
tracted the attention Of very rich bank
er, who, ignorant of her past history,
sought to make her his wife. 1t was
more than probable that the lady would
not have yielded to the temptation which
was thrust before her but for two things,
first, the discovery that her nuspand was
a worthless, faithless fellow, second, the
opportunities of her parents, who at that
time sustained some financial reverses. 1t
appears that the banker held her faith
er's obligations for an enormous amount.
A condition of the marriage was that her
parent should be released. A divorce was
secretly secured from the first husband u
