asked you to forgive me. Can't you
forget this Just once? Come in and
have dinner. We have plenty Of
time"
In silence, she followed him into
the restaurant and over to a table.
In silence she drew OF her gloves
and observed herself critically in
the glass. The boy was also OBJ
serving her. and his eyes told her
how they were satisfied with what
they observed. But she avoided his
eyes and looked coolIy across
him At the next table where the
waiter was just seating another
couple. She noted the girls down

mans lips.

At the sight of the weeping man all
the young girls resentment vanished
Her eyes grew moist, and. leaving
the dagger on the table. she stretched
out her arms as IL to raise Severac
up.
But she did not know what a mon
ster of audaeity and hypocrisy
Charles Severac was:
Quick as a flash he fell upon Moi
settle, threw her on the bed, clapped
a brutal hand over her mouth, and
before the unfortunate child was able
to even struggle he bound her with
the long silken scarf floating from
her shoulders.
Stunned by terror and shock, Moi
settle tainted.
Severac did not notice her, but all
absorbed in his wicked intent, he
threw her body upon his shoulder.
and leaving the apartment he fol-
lowed the passage and closed behind
him the door which opened on the
staircase.
A moment later he was in his own
room. Placing Moisette on the bed
he muttered:
Now she is mine forever! But no
delays! They must have heard me-"
-Four o'clock! There is time"
leaving the still unconscious young
girl alone, Severac sprang toward the
stairway He went down four steps
and lost himself in the darkness OF 4
gallery where no electric light was
burning.
Meanwhile a more extraordinary
scene and OF even graver Import was
going on in the laboratory.
IJpon leaving Moisette, Hictaner
had plunged into the sea and gone
straight toward the submarine grot-
10 in front of the water filled cells
ordinarily inhabited by the mRn-fish.
Hardly had he passed the gate when
he found himself in the presence Of
the heather priest. who was overjOyed
at seeing him once more.
MY son, here you are at last! How
anxious we have been about you"
my father" responded Hictaner.
twill YOU please follow me?"
without another word the young
man swan rapidly toward the opening
from the grotto into the well leading
TO the laboratory.

with the underground chambers OF the

Having spoken thus clearly, Hio-
taner drew back again and leaned
against a pillar, calm, clear-eyed and
smiling.
He was thinking now OF Moisetts
whom he was obeying implicitly
without understanding much Of what
he was doing. Then he added ami
