three days: and there remained, there

into execution the scheme which I
trusted would bring everything to
light.
During my absence, had Boissier
and Germaine watched. On my re-
turn learned that the latter had met
Xavier twice, but otherwise had not
called anywhere nor received visitors,
with the exception of Boissier, who
had gone to her house and stayed
there half an hour.
Boissier, on the other hand, had
been very busy. He had met Xavier
every day; he had spent an evening
at Mile. C1ementine's private resi-
dence at Suresnes. He had also been
seen in earnest conversation with two
ladies', who proved to be connected
with Clementine's establishment
Moreover, he had dined with an indi-
vidual called Riviere, who occupied a
bedroom above Boissier's apartment.
This Riviere had once been arrested
on charge of embezzlement, but had
been discharged.
My scheme was not only a risky
one, but needed elaborate preparation.

to place herself at my disposal. From
there I went to Xavier.

said; st will call for you at two
o'clock"

say that influences are at work."
Yes, Xavier" / cried; you are
right. Influences are at work; but
you and l will prove stronger than
they!v
Poor Xavier, who, of course, did not
understand the inner meaning of my
words, gazed at me in establishment,
and said:

Will you dine with us tomorrow night
at Voisin's, at eight o'clock?"

that as too, want to consult the

ed. my fiancee, as you will see, is
emancipated, and does not object to

AS I alighted at Voisin's brougham
drove up with Xavier, Boissier, and
Mile. Germaine, the latter a slim, pale
girl, with a curious way of looking at
people from the corners Of her gray
eyes.
She spoke very little, nor was
Xavier in mood to talk. Boissier, on
the other hand, was in great form,
and talked to everybody, including the
walters. He seemed to have taken a
great liking to me, and, slapping me
on the back, said:

I then drove to the Rue Bleue, and
caught Boissier just as he was leaving
| the house. When he saw me he he'd
out both HANDS.
What cheer, Martini"
81 am glad caught you. Professor
Leroy, the well-known spiritualist
from Brussels, is here. He has invited
me to private seance, and allows me
to bring few friends. Xavier is COM

A., Xavier's sister.
"My dear Goron," she cried, in an
anxious tone, "how is it I have not
heard from you? Have you forgotten
your promise?"
81 have forgotten nothing. In order
to help your brother have even en-
barked on strange adventure. Hith-
erto I have had to do with living men;
now / am fighting ghosts
The next day I found Xavier more
peevish than usual. I pretended not
to notice this, and when his brougham
drove us to the Place Valois, said:
Xavier, have invited you to an
| odd performance. Promise me to
keep your nerves under control, and
not to utter word during the seance
until l give you leave. On my part,
promise you that, in all probability,
you will sleep better tonight than you
have for the last three months. Is it
understood"
He nodded assent, and I knew I
could trus. him.
When we reached the Place ValOis,
Professor Leroy was arranging the

Xavier and l had a violent dispute
about the wretched Boissier. Early
the next morning my friend called on
me, and told me that this matter could
not go further, on account of the
scandal" How I hate that word!
How many crimes have, within my
knowledge, remained unpublished, be
cause the victims, belonging to the
higher classes, dreaded what they
termed the scandal" Madame A.,
too. came to the rescue, and, to my
sorrow, l had to let the fellow go.
For all that, vengeance overlook

and disappeared.
Two years later I recognized Bots
sier among a lot Of vagabonds the po
lice had found huddled together in a
shed near the Central markets. He
had became horrible wreck.
M. E and his wife took charge
of Lily Bradley. AS they told me
afterward, the girl had sinned, but
had also been sinned against. Having
once befriended her. they would not
throw her upon the world.
