Meyrueis, long leagues remote from the
railroads and the world they stitch TO.
gether.
Here (said Duchemin) nothing can
disturb me- and it is high time for me
to be considering what | am to make
of the remainder of my days. Too many
OF the mhave been wasted, too great a
portion of my time has been sacrificed
to vanities.
Yet little while and one must BID
adleu to that youth which one has so
heedlessly squandered, a last adieu to
youth with its days of high adventure.
its carefree heart. its susceptibility to
the infinite seductions of romance.
And for all this mood of premature
resignation to the bourgeois virtues
Duchemin was glad enough when his
fourth day in Meyrueis dawned fair, and
by eight was up and away, purposlng
days tramp to ontpellier-le.Vieux
concerning which one heard curious
tales.)
Long after noon sheer fools luck led
him to a hamlet whose mean auberge
served him bread and cheese with n
wine singularly thin and acid.
The one able-bodied man in evidence
a hulking, surly animal. on learning
that Duchemin wished to visit Mont.
pellier-le-Vieux refused with a growl to
have anything to do with him Several
| times during the course OF luncheon he
caught the fellow eyeing him strangely
he thought, from a window OF the an.
berge. In the end the peasant girl who
waited on him grudglngly consented to
put him on his way.
He followed her directions, contin,
ued his long tramp and in the silver and
purple mystery of a perfect moonlight
night found himself looking down from
hilltop uron NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Rumor had prepared him to know
the place when he saw It, nothing for
its stupendous lunacy. Heaven knows
what convulsion or measured process
of nature accomplished this thing For
his part Duchemin was unable to ac
cept any possible scientific explanation
and will go to his grave believing that
some half-witted cyclops created Mont
pellier-le-Vieux in an hour OF idleness
building him play city Of tiatnic mono
liths, then wandered away and forgot
it altogether.
To his mind there was something
sinister in the portentous immobility
of the place; in its silence. its want Of
excuse for being. a sense OF ageold evil
| like an inGrticulate menace.
When abruptly a man moved from
behind rock some thirty or forty PAGES
ahead. Duchemin stopped short. with
tangled nerves and barely smothered
exclamation. Possibly u shape OF snec.
