Sibyl and Roscoe were upon the
point of leaving when Bibbs returned
to the new house. He went straight to
Sibyl and spoke to her quietly, but SO
that the others might hear.

me, you were right" he said. 81

charred ashes of paper. The lid Of his
trunk stood open, and the large upper
tray. which she remembered to have
seen full Of papers and notebooks, was
empty. And somehow she UNDERSTOOD
that Bibbs had given up the mysten-
GUS vocation he had hoped to follow
and that he had given it up for ever.
She thought it was the wisest thing ne
could have done-and yet, for an IN
known reason, she sat upon the bed
and wept little before she went down
stairs.
So Sheridan had his way with Bibbs,
all through.

down cold"
"But that's impossi-"
'sIt's not. I know she did"
Sibyl looked fatty incredulOus.
"And you needn't worry" he said,
turning to his wife. This won't have
any effect on your idea, because there
wasn't any sense to it, anyhow. D.

but remained standing beside his chair;
and Roscoe moved toward Sibyl, who
stared uneasily at the open doorway.
They listened as the slow steps de-
scended the stairs and came toward
the library.
Bibhs stepped upon the threshold,
and with sick and haggard eyes looked
slowly from one to the other until at
last his gaze rested upon his father.
Then he came and stood before him.
'.I'm sorry you've had so much trou-

Then, when she was once more upon

that way, that she knew he had not

shamefacedness lowered them no more.

Elation and DESPAIR
"What Do You Want, Monsieur"
CHAPTER XXI.

Elation and Despair.
Established behind his splendid ma
hogany desk in his Office at the minis
try Of war, or moving majestically
abroad attired in frock coat and shin
ing topper, or lending the dignity OF
his presence to some formal function
Of state in that beautiful uniform
which appertained unto his Office, M.
Hector Ducroy cut an imposing figure.
Abed-it was sadly otherwise.
Lanyard switched on the bedside
light, turning it so that it struck full
upon the face Of the sleeper, and as he
sat down he smiled.
The minister Of war lay upon his
back, his distinguished corpulence Sc
verely dislocating the chaste simplicity
Of the bedclothing. Athwart his shelly.
ing chest fat hands were peacefully
folded in a gesture affectingly naive.
His face was red, a noble high-light
shone upon the promontory of his bald
pate, his mouth was open.
To the best of his unconscious abil-
ity he was giving a protracted imita-
ton of dog fight; and he was really
exhibiting sublime virtuosity-one
readily distinguished individual bowls,
growls, yelps against an undertone
made up OF the blended voices of ex-
cited noncombatants.
AS suddenly as though someone,
wearying Of the entertainment, had
lifted the needle from that record, it
was discontinued. The minister of
war stirred uneasily in his sleep, NUT
tered naughty word, opened one eye,
scowled, opened the other.
He blinked furiously, half-blinded
but still able to make out the discom-
posing silhouette of a man seated just
beyond the radius of glare-a quiet
presence that moved not, but eyed him
steadfastly; an apparition the more
arresting because of its very immo-
bility.
Rapidly the face Of the minister of
war lost several shades of purple. He
moistened his lips nervously with a
thick, dry tongue, and convulsively he
clutched the bedclothing high and
tight about his neck, as though labor
Ing under the erroneous impression
that the sanctity Of his person was
threatened.
What do you want, monsieur" he
suffered in a still. small voice which
he would have been the last to &C.
knowledge his own.

ness with monsieur" replied the in.
truder after a small pause. III you
will be good enough to calm yourself
-"
II am perfectly calm"
But here the minister Of war verified
with one swift glance an earlier i'm
preston, to the effect that the tres
passer was holding something that
shone with metallic luster, and his
soul began to curl up round the edges,

curbing with both hands, and Sne
heard the soft thud of his feet on the
earth of the enclosure, and the latch
grated behind her as the door opened.
For the last time, Lanyard
laughed quietly from the aperture,
permit me to invite you to break the
law by committing an act Of trespass!"
Securing the door, he led her to a
garden bench secluded amid conven.
tional shrubbery.
IF you'll wait here" he suggested
"Well, it will be best. I'll be back as
soon as possible, though l may be de-
tanned some time. Still, inasmuch as
I'm about to break into this house, my
motives, which are most commendable,
may be misinterpreted, and I'd rather
you waited here, with the street at
hand. If you hear noise like trouble
you've only to unlatch the gate. But
let's trust that my purely benevolent
intentions toward the French republic
won't be misconstrued!"
I'll watt" she assured him bravely;
but won't you tell me-"
With hand he indicated the man
sion towering above them.
"I'm going to break in there to pay
an early morning call and impart some
interesting information to a person Of
considerable consequence - nobody
less, in fact, than NJ. Ducroy."
"And who is he?"
1.-THE present minister of war. We
haven't as yet the pleasure Of each
others acquaintance; still think he
won't be sorry to see me. In brief I
mean to make him a present of the
Huysman plans and bargain for safe
conduct for us both from France"
Impulsively she offered her hand
and, when he somewhat efficiently
took it, she gave his fingers a firm,
compelling pressure with her own.
"Be CAREFUL" she whispered broken
ly, her pale, sweet face upturned to
his. ooh, do be careful! am afraid
for you"
And for a moment the temptation
to take her in his arms seemed strong
er than any he had ever known.
But reminding himself that he had
voluntarily stipulated for years pro-
batian, he released her hand with an
incoherent humble, turned, and hastily
disappeared in the direction Of the
house.
