savagely and dragged the table to the
far end of the room and struck me re-
peatedly. while struggled like a mad
man. The oathS and excavations that
streamed from my lips seemed to be
uttered by another man, for I heard
them indifferentIy, or rather some
thing that was I, deep in the maze of
my personality, heard them-not that
pitifuI, puny, goaded thing that fought
in its bonds until it ceased, painting
and exhausted.
There followed a long silence, while
LerOUx strobe furiOusIy about the
room. At last he stopped; he seemed
to have made up his mind.
1 saw Jacqueline looking at me. 1
would not meet her gaze, but at last
her persistence compelled me- Then I
saw her glance toward the wall
The two broadswordS hung there
within arms reach, above the broken
mirror. My heart leaped up at the
thought OF her valOr. She had no
mind to yield
But I shook my head iInperceptibly
in answer and looked down at my
bonds.
1 had been trying hard to devise
some method of freeing myself. My
struggles had relaxed the ropes
around my wrists sufficiently to allow
my hands two or three inches of move
ment, and I hoped, by hard work, to
loosen them sufficiently TO enable me
to get at least one hand free.
Then felt that something hard was
pressing into my back, just within
reach of my right thumb and fore
travel up and down it. 1t had the
form of a tiny knife with a heavy,
rounded handle
And suddenly I knew what it was.
1t was the knife with which Louis
d'Epernay had been killed.
I could just get my finger and
thumb round the point of the blade.
The ropes scored deeply into my
wrists as 1 worked at it, but I felt
the lining give, and presently had
worked the blade through and had the
knife out by the handle.
But it was made for thrusting more
than cutting, and I had to pick the
ropes to pieces strand by strand.
Jacqueline had been imperceptib1y
edging away from her father and Lee
rOux; she was now standing imnedi-
ately beneath the rusty swords. And
outside the door I still perceived La
croix, mOtiOnless.
It flashed across my mind that he
understood the girls desperate ruse,
and that he was waiting for the issue.
1 picked furiously at the ropes which
bound my hands, and long strand IN
cOiled and whipped back on my wrist.
Leroux seized Jacqueline by the
wrists and dragged her across the floor
to me-
'Look at himi' lie yelled. Look
into his face. VIII you marry me, if
let him go freeF'
''No !" answered Jacqueline.
81 swear to you that he shall be
thrown from the top of the cataract
unless you give your consent within
five minutes"
Never !" she answered firmly.
81 will denOunce your father"
"YOu can't brighten me with such
stuff. I am not a weak old man.
you will think differently after
Charles Duchaine has been hanged in
Quebec JAIL" he sneered.
His words received a wholly unex-
pected answer. The dotard leaped
forward, stopped down and picked up
the heavy roulette wheel.
He raised it aloft and staggered
wildly toward Leroux.
