 THE PERFUME OF THE LADY IN BLACK

To he ContInlad.l

"Ah," he said in a low voice, ''she Is there-the Lady in Blacki Can't you smell the perfumeT
 And he hid himself behind a door motioning me to continue without wait. ing for him.
 What was my amazement in opening the door of my room to find myself face to face with Mathilde,
 She uttered a low cry and disap- peared in the shadow, gliding away like a surprised bird. She swept down the steps like ghost. She soon gained the ground floor. and I saw below me the face of RouletabIlle, who, leaning over the rail of the first landing. looked at her too.
 He mounted the steps to my side.
 "Oh, my Godr' he cried "what did I tell your
 He seemed to be in the greatest agi- tation-
 four hours or I shall no longer have strength to act"
 He threw himself into a chair as if exhausted. "T can't breather' he moaned. He tore his collar away from his throat ''waterr he entreated- "I want the water from the heavensi I must have it,.' And he waved his hands toward the dark skies.
 For ten minutes he remained stretch ed out in the chair, thinking. What surprised me was that he asked no question or uttered no conjecture as to what the Lady in Black had been seeking in my room. would not have known how to answer if he had done 90. At length he rose and went to take the guard at the postern-
 He would snot even come In to din her and sent word to have some soup brought out to him. The dinner was served in Ia Louve at S:3o. Darzac, who came to the table from Old Bob's workroom, said that the latter refused to dine also. Mime. Edith, fearing that her uncle might be i'll. went immedi- ately to the round tower.
 The Lady fin Black came in on the arm of heg father. She cast on me a look of sorrowful reproach which dis turbed me greatly. Her eyes seemed never to wander from me.

CHAPTER xI.
A Pistol Shot In the Night.

l@T was a gloomy meal enough Arthur Rance looked every mo- ment in the direction of the lo Lady in Black. All the win dows were open. A flash of light ming and a heavy clap of thunder came in rapid succession, and then the del | uge. Mime. Edith reappeared just in time to escape being drenched by the furious Tain, which beat down like cannon balls.
 The young woman told in excited tones And with her hands clasped how she had found old Bob bending over his desk with his head buried in his hands. He had refused to have any thing to say to her. She had spoken to him affectionately,- and he had treated her like a bear. Then, as he had held his hands to his ears, she had pricked one of his fingers with a little pin set with rubies which she used to fasten the lace scarf which she wore in the evening. Her uncle had turned upon her like a madman, had snatched the little pin from her | and thrown it upon the desk. And then he had spoken to her-"brutally, rudely,", she calculated. "Get out of here and leave me aloneF' he said to her. She had turned her head for a last look at her old uncle and had been almost struck dumb by what she saw.
 The oldest skull in the history of the human race" was on the desk, and Old Bob. a haRdkerchief stained with blood in his hand, was splitting in the | ol To hn1 alw S~.l f& severe respect and had insisted that others do the same.
 Darzac reassured her by telling her that what she had taken for blood was only paint
 left to hurry out to RouletabiIle and escape Mathilde's glances. What had the Lady in Black been doing in my bedroom?
 When started out the thunder was pealing loudly and the rain falling with redoubled force. It took me only one bound to reach the postern- No Rou- ietabille was therei I found him on the terrace B. watching the entrance to the square tower and receiving the full strength of the storm at his back
 I entreated him to take shelter un- der the arch.
 Leave me aloner' he said inpatient ly. Leave me alonei This is the del uge- How good it is, Have you ever had a desire to roar with the thunder? I have. and am roaring now"
 And he plunged into the darkness, making the shadows resound with his savage clamors- I believed this time that he had surely gone mad. But in my heart I knew that the unhappy lad was breathing forth in these indIstinct articulations of frightful anguish the misery that burned him and which he was constantly trying to hinder from burning up the heart and the soul in his body-the misery of being the son of Larsan.
 I turned helpIessly, and as I did so felt a hand seize my wrist, and a dark form cried out:
 Where is hep
 It was Mime. Darzac, who was also seeking Rouletabille. A new peal of thunder burst, and we heard the boy In his mad delirium hurling wild shouts of defiance to the heavens. She heard him. She saw him. We were arenched with water from the rain and the breaking of the sea on the terrace. Mmee Darzac's clothing chung around her like a rag and her skirt dtipped as she walked I took the wretched wo-
