The flicker of torches gave
warning of their advance. al
though 1t was equally evident the
bearers were fairly creeping
along, driven by de Saule, and the
far less eager Guieteau.

Mademoiselle's face, and afforded

CHAPTER XVI
Fugitives I'm the Ruins.

UkhtAfCs IN tttC hhhknSs
As the mans body plunged
down through the air, his lips
giving utterance to an unearthly
shrek of terror, the horror of 1t
seemed to paralyze my every fac
ulty. But sufficient presence of
mind remained to enable me to
clasp the shuddering girl in my
arms. and hold her safely out of
observation from below. Her
face was hidden on my shoulder,
but l could see plainly enough.
Dazed as I still was from the
suddenness of the dreadful acct
dent, sick at heart with horror,
there was no terrorizing mystery
to chill my heart. Not so with
those base towards below. AL
ready terrorized by their magma
ton, every shadow assumed
ghostly shape, and the slightest
noise caused them to start and
look about.
To their ears that agonized
shrek was the wall of lost soul,
and as the body whirled down
among them, out of that black
haunted void above. they fled
madly, trampling each other,
cursing and crying out in terror.
But / knew it was only a ques-
tion of minutes before that hardy
composure. And then he would
force a search of those regions
from which the body fell.
And sure enough back he came
already, his men with him, driv-
en- at the point of a pistol, and
bearing torches.
The slightest mysterious noise
would bring panic and send them
in headlong flight. But the stairs
we're well lighted, and de Saule
and his lieutenant would drive
them up the broad steps. If
was to play ghost the better
place for such an exhibition
would be farther back, where

lanterns, but the greater light

floor. A pile of fagots lay near

all appearance peasants.
The man who appeared to ex-
ercise command was more dis
reputably attired than his fol-
lowers, and more desperate
looking villain. He wore a belt
containing two pistols and a
knife. The men were all armed,
the fire, their equipment, how
ever, being mostly ugly booking
knives, unsheathed.
There was little conversation.
The big leader occasionally called
out some gruff order. That he
was feared, was evidenced by the
swiftness with which the fellows
obeyed. Once he struck a man

believe such superstition could
scare those fellows, but not you
and I, Guieteau. We have got
over that long ago."

the other solemnly. You have
known me long. and found me
faithful-is that not true?"
De Saule nodded, his glance up
the stairs.
Il have served you as a.
soldier, and since then as your

when 1 also laughed at phantoms
and sneered at ghostly presence.
