His excellency will give audience
to the English m'sieu."
The apartment of the governor gen.
eral was splendidly decorated, and in
the center of the parquet floor. with
his back to the light, was the thin,
wiry figure OF an elderly man in a
funeral frock coat, in the lapel OF
which showed the red and yellow rib
bon of the Order of st. Anne. His
hands we're behind his back, and he
stood purposely in such position that
when ! entered I could not at first
see his face against the strong, gray
light behind.
But when the footman had bowed
and retired and we we're alone, he
turned slightly, and then saw that
his bony face, with high cheek bones,
slight gray side whiskers. hard mouth
and black eyes set closely together,
was OF one who could act without any
conjunction and without regret.
Truly one would not be surprised at
any cruel, dastardly action OF a man
with such face-the face Of an op-
pressor.
"Wellr' he snapped in French in a
high-pitched voice, you want to see

as Horribly. or Woodroffe, could tell

will. no doubt, when he meets Elma
Heath, and finds the terrible affiiction
'of which she has been the victim"
His thin. bony countenance was
bloodless, his mouth twitched and his
gray brows contracted quickly.

"All that you say is entirely enigmat-

He went white with rage at my cut-

for he saw that | was quite cool and
had no fear OF him or Of the terrible
punishment to which he intended TO
consign me. Besides which. he was
filled with wonder regarding the exact
amount OF information which Elma
had impaired to me.
Arrest me II you like. Denounce
me by means OF any lie that arises TO
