CHAPTER Xx-(Contlnued).

Contrary to what one might think,
especially in connection with an op-
era-house. the organ" is not mu-
sical instrument. At that time. cleo
tricity was employed only for very
few scenic effects and for the bells.
The immense building and the stage
itself were still lit by gas; hydrogen
was used to regulate and modify the
lighting Of a scene; and this was
done by means OF special apparatus
which, because OF the multiplicity of
its pipes, was known as the organ"
A box beside the prompter's box was
reserved for the chief gas-man. who
from there gave his orders to his as
sistants and saw that they were ex
ecuted. Mauclair stayed in this box
during all the performances.
But now Mauclair was not in his
box and his assistants not in their
places.
"Mauclair! Mauclair!"
The stage-manager's voice echoed
through the cellars. But Mauclair
did not reply.

little staircase that led to the second
cellar. The commissary pushed It,
but 1t resisted.

Ager. Il can't open this door: is 1t
always 80 difficult?"
The stage-manager forced 1t open
with his shoulder. He saw that, at
the same time, he was pushing a hu.

an exclamation. for he recognized
the body at once.

It's the first time. II So" said the
stsge-manager.
Then some one has given him a
narcotic. That is quite possible"
Mifroid went down a few steps and
said:
Look"
BY the light OF little red lantern,
at the foot OF the stairs, they saw
two other bodies. The stagemanager
recognized Mauclair's assistants.
Mifroid went down and listened to
their breathing.
They are sound asleep" he said.

repeated, Curious, decidedly curious

Ihen he turned to the little room,
addressing the people whom Raoul
and the Persian were unable to see
from where they lay.

Raoul followed the Persian and Won
dered what he would have done with
out his companion in that e1raor-

the third cellar: and their progress
was still lit by some distant lamp.
The lower they went, the more pre-
