nation. nor did it mar his satisfaction.
But when it came to thte question of
reward, Placide's perfidy shocked Mon
sieur de Sartines and chilled his tone
as he said, This information may be
important as a means for carrying out
the ends Of justice. We shall see
Yes, Monsieur" replied Placide,
without moving an inch. Il think you
will find it most important. And now
to the small question of my reward"
you have done your duty to the
state" replied the minister. Let your
reward consist in the satisfaction of
that thought There is no question of
reward. All citizens are required to
assist the police in protecting the social
order. Well, what are you waiting
for?"
The old villain seemed completely
taken aback by this cool pronounce
ment; his beard wagged, his mouth
opened and closed. Then. to De Sar-
tines establishment, he began to laugh.
"Oh. Monsieur" said he, ''the only
reward | require, is for you to say,
'Placide, you are in my service with,
of course. the ordinary police pay for
my services, which, added to my sal
airy, will not be so bad"
oh" said De Sartines. you can
serve me every day, If you like, as
you served me to-day. Ma fol, if that
IS what YOU want, the thing is done.
Placide, you are in my service
Thank you, Monsieur"
Now you can CO." said De Sartines.
Continue to keep your eyes open, and
apply to Monsieur Beauregard for your
salary, starting from yesterday. He will
pay YOU weekly in advance"
Placide left the room, and De Sar-
tines summoned Monsieur Beauregard.

tines, go at once with half conf
pany of guards to the house of Mon

Immediately you enter the court
yard, examine the first orange tree tub

Then, with your own hands remove
the soil and bring me the packet of
papers you will find concealed there.
1t is of vital importance. 1t is con-
cealed in the mold. Do not fear to
dirty your hands"
Beauregard laughed
And the servants, Monsieur"

PART II, CHAPTER 1, Continued.

"Ah," said he, suddenly assuming a
brutal tone, you persist? Now, listen
to me. Your doings are known to me
and the doings of your lover. Mon
sieur Armand de Lussac, whom !
seized to-day as he left your house,
politics in his majesty'S fortress of the
Bastile. Beware, Madame, that / do
not deal with you as harshly."
= She had risen to her feet and at
these words the coler fed from her
face. He had hit her at last
well, Madame" said he brutally,
what have we to say to that p
She did not answer for a moment.
Up to this she had been playing a
comedy. The hundred thousand francs
which she had determined to make De
Sartines pay for his visit to her house
would have been presented, with an
once during all his pretense of ad-
miration did he deceive her: she had
borne with him only from the know
ledge that she was sitting firmly on the
handkerchief and that it would be i'm
possible for him to get If. She had let
him go on just as one lets a child go
on IN its attempt to steal jam, up to
that point when the cupboard door is
reached. She had enjoyed the situa-
ton hugely. .r
And now, at stroke, her comedy
was turned to tragedy.
The 'perfumed policeman" had been
victor all through. While she had
been wasting time fooling him, De
Lussac, locked away in the Bastile,
had been checkmated and prevented
from returning to Versailles. The
document was no doubt still living in
the top right-hand drawer of Monsieur
de Richelieu's bureau and Monsieur
de Richelieu was no doubt still seated
at the bureau. engaged in dealing with
his half-yearly accounts. At any mo-
mcnt he might take out his keys, at
tempt TO open the drawer, find it al
ready open, and discover the document
He would at once know the culprit; no
one but De L,ussac had been given &C
cess 10 the ROOM
She saw De Lussac with his weapon
taken from him. She saw him a hope
less prisoner for life. That terrible
contract which involved the dishonor
OF the king was state secret. and the
man who had knowledge of it would
never be forgiven his knowledge. De
IuSsac must be freed at once. 1t was
quite possible that Monsieur dc Richie
lieu might not open the drawer Of his
bureau that night. or even on the NOR
row. She glanced at the clock 1t
pointed to twenty minutes past eight.

Rosine Tells Tales.

tines and took his way to the
Rue Coo Heron
He had no need to ring. Rosine was
at the gate, taking the air, glancing up
and down the street. II was lovely
evening, warm and perfumed with the
scent of flowers from the little gar
dens behind the Rue Cog Heron.

Placide, with a pretense of mock gal
lantry, had attempted to slip his arm
around her waist Placide was a fine
example of the snuffy old man-servant
common in the families of the lesser
nobility of that age. The old retainer,
a product of feudalism, impudent with
family pride, insolent to the lower Or
ders, making love to the maids and
stealing his masters snuff; open OF
speech, garrulous, and licensed to be
drunk on holidays; often dominating
the household as old servants some
times will.

digestion was behaving itself; he had
got rid of his hslf-yearly accounts with
the assistance of Raffe. examined mi

himself with two thousand louis more

politics were shaping favorably. De
