No there had been malice in that Du

purpose which perpleXed the most pa

Now malice without incentive is un
thinkable But Duchemin searched his
memory in vain for anything he could
have said or done TO make anybody de
sire to discrcdit him in the sight Of the
ladies' of the chateau de Montalais. Still
he attempt so to do had been unmis

into the valley again and struck the riv.

Setting aside then the theory of pos
itiye personal animals, what other rea'
son could there be for the effort TO
fasten upon Duchemin suspicion of iden'
tity with the late Lone Wolfe?
A sinister consideration l. any. anc
one, Dushemin suspected not uncon'

els of Madame de Montalais.
And then. partly 10 kill time, he re-
sumed his character as the pedestrian
tourist.
He took the road in the heart of a
/ day even more oppressive than its yes
terday. In the valley of the Dourbie the
air was stagnant, Hfeless. After eight
miles Of IL Duchemin was guilty Of tive
mistakes of desperation.
| In the first instance he paused in La

ed by thirst refreshed himself at the au

had been hired TO convey the party from

One gathered that the dead guide had

While Duchemin drank, a lout OF a

and rode off in the direction of Nant.

in thinking TO find better and cooler
