 That's we'll" said the cardinal. l At these words he took up silvei bell and rang it. The officer entered.
 "Oo," said he in a subdued voice, l "and find Rochefort. Tell him to come to me eimmediately if he is returned" "The count is here," said the officer, 'and requests to speak with your emil hence instantly" 'To your eminence!' murmured Bo- nacieux, rolling his eyes round in as- tonishment. .r.es Five seconds had scarcely elapsed after the disappearance of the officer when the door opened and . new per sonage entered. f 'It is hev' cried Bonacieux. "He! What her" asked the cardinal. "The man that took away my wifer The cardinal rang second time. The officer reappeared. " F "Place this man in the care of his guards again and let. him wait till I send for him."
 '.No, monseigneur; no: it is not he!" cried Bonacieux. s'No; was deceived This is quite different man anu does not resemble him at all. Monsieur is, am sure, very good sort of man."
 'Take away that fool," said the car dinal.
 The newly introduced perspnage folr lowed Bonacdeux impatiently with his eyes till he was gone out, and the mo- ment the door closed he advanced ea- geriy toward the cardinal and said:
 They have seen each other."
 "The queen and the duke" cried Richelieu. :
 At the Louvre" s.es
 "Who told you of itT
 'Mme. Lannoy, who is devoted to your eminence, as you know"
 "Why did she not let me know soon- rr'
 Whether by chance or from mis- trust I don't know, but the queen made Mme. de Sturgis sleep in her chamber and detained her all day" "Well, we are beateni Now let us try to take our revenge. How did it take placer"
 At half-past 12 the queen was with her women in her bedchamber, when some man came and brought her handkerchief from her dame de lin gerie."
 "And thenf"
 'The queen immediately exhibited strong emotion; she rose, and with trembling voice: Ladies' said she, wait for me ten minutes. I shall soon return She then opened the door of her alcove and went out n
 How long did the queen remain out of the chamberY
 'Three-quarters of an hour"
 "Did none of her women accompany herw
 "Only Donna Estafania"
 ~Did she afterward return?'' "Yes; but to take little rosewood casket, with her cipher upon. it; in it the diamond studs which his majesty gave to the queen"
 Mime. Lannoy, then, is of opinion that she gave them to Buckingham"
 "She is sure of it."
 "How can she be so?'
 "In the course of the day, Mme. de Lannoy, in her quality of tirewoman of the queen, looked for this casket, appeared uneasy at not finding it, and at length asked the queen if she knew anything about 1t. The queen be- came exceedingly red and replied that, having on the preceding evening bro- ken one of those studs, she had sent 1t to her goldsmith to be repaired"
 "He must be called upon and so ascertain if the thing be true or not"
 "The goldsmith has heard nothing of the kind"
 Right, right! Rochefort, all is not lost, and perhaps-perhaps everything is for the best. Do you know where the Duchess de Chevreuse and the Duke of Buckingham are now con- cealed"
 ''No, monseigneur; my people could tell me nothing on that head"
 "But I know, or at least I guess. They were, one in the Rue Vaugirard, No 25; the other in the Rue de la Harpe, No. 75."
 Docs your eminence command that they should be both instantly arrest edr'
 "It will be too late. They will be gone. But take ten men of my guards and search the houses thoroughly"
 Instantly. monseigneur.'
 And Rochefort went hastily out of the apartment.
 The cardinal upon being left alone reflected for an instant and then rang the bell third time. The same officer appeared.
 Bring the prisoner in again." said the cardinal.
 Master Bonacieux was introduced afresh, and upon a sign from the car dina1 the officer retired.
 You have deceived me-" said the cardinal sternly. "Your wife when going to Rue de Vaugirard and Rue de k HaE1f vent to meet the Duchess de
