You mean the thing that holds the
shelf up?"
Yes, you must press it,
But there are two things that hold
the shelf up. Is 1t the one on this side
that you press or the one on that side?"
Dear me, what an a~ggravating boy!
It's the one this side, Of course"
Good! You lie down now and I'll

He started to force Alice behind the
shelter, for the heat was actually blis-
tering the skin, but to his surprise he
found her suddenly limp in his arms.
Having spoken these strange words of
wisdom or of folly, she had gone back
into Inconsistencies.
Coquenil believed hat they were
words of wisdom and without a mo-
ment's hesitation, he acted on that be-
lief. The wall underneath the shelf was
half covered with piled-up logs and
these must be removed; which meant
that he must work there for several
minutes with the fierce breath of the
fire kissing over him.
1t was the work OF a mailman, or of
one inspired. Three times Coquenil fell
to the floor, gasping for breath, blinded
by the flames that were roaring all
about him. poisoned by deadly fumes.
The skin on his arms and neck was
hanging away in shreds, the pain was
u~nbearable. yet he bore it, the task
was impossible. yet he did it.
At last the space under the shelf was
cleared, and staggering, blackened.
blinded, yet believing, Paul Coquenil
stumbled forward and seized the left
hand bracket in his two bruised hands
and pressed It with all his might.
Instantly q door underneath, cur
ningly hidden in the wall, yawned open
on a square black passage.
TITS here that the fairies play" NUT
tered M. Paul, land it's a mighty good
place for us!'
With a bound he was back at the
shelter and had Alice in his arms, smil-
Ing again, as she slept--as h dreamed.
And a moment later he had rarried
her safely through flames that actual
ly singed her hair, and laid her ten
derby In the cool passage. And beside
her he laid the baron's diary!
Then he went back to close the door.
II was high time, for the last obstruct-
logs of the old barricade had fallen

And when the fever fell and his mind

Mrs. Lloyd Kittredse.

:" HE details of the hours that fol-
lowed remained blurred memo
ries in the minds of Alice and
her rescuer. There was, first, a period
utter blank when Coquenil, overcome
by the violence Of his struggle and the
agony of his burns, fell unconscious
near the unconscious girl. How long
they lay thus in the dark playground
of the fairies, so near the raging fire,
yet safe from it, was never known ex-
actly nor how long they wandered
afterward through a strange subter-
ranean region of passages and cross
passages, that widened' and narrowed,
that assembled and descended, that were
sometimes smooth under foot. but
oftener blocked with rough stones and
always black as night. The fairies
must have been sorry at their plight
for, indeed. it was a pitiable one:
bruised, blistered, covered with CRIME
and with little else, they stumbled on
aimiessly, cutting their bare feet, fall
ing often in sheer weakness, and lying
for minutes where they fell before they
could summon strength to stumble on.
Surely no more pathetic pair than these
two aver braved the mazes of the Paris
catacombs!
Perhaps the fairies finally felt that
the odds were too great against them.
and somehow led them to safety. At
any rate, through the ghastly horror OF
darkness and weakness and pain there
presently came hope-fiickering torches
in the distance, then faint voices and
the presence of friends. some working
men, occupied with drainage repairs.
who produced stimulahts and rough
garments and showed them the way to
the upper world, to the blessed SUM-
shine.
Then it was a matter of temporary
relief at the nearest pharmacy, of wait
ing until Pougeot, summoned by tele-
phone. could arrive with all haste, In
an automobile.
An hour later NJ. Paul and Alice were
in clean, cool beds at a private hospital
rear the commissary's house, with
nurses and doctors bending over them.
and on a chair beside the girl, battered
and blackened. sat Esmeraida, while
under the detectives pillow was the
scorched but unframed diary OF De
Heidelmann-Bruck!
