Stangerson celebrate their wedding quietly in a Paris church on April 6, 1895. Among the tew present is Rouletabille, the Teporter-detective, who has his .doubts about the alleged death of Larsan, the government secret service official who is said to have1 been lost in the wreck of La Dordogne. Mile. Stangerson had married him when she was a mere girl, ignorant that her Jan Roussel his then name was no other than the notorious scoundrel Ballmeyer, now posing as Larsan. II. Rouletabille and his best friend, who is relating this story, d cide to go to the Oastle of Her cules at Rochers Rouges to visit the Kances together with the newly married Darzacs. Rouleta bille is revealed as the son of the now Mme. Darzac and Larsan her former husband. Ill Dar zac aescriDes now his wite re ceives a severe shock at seeing the face of Larsan in a inirrow at a railway compartment. IV, and VI Larsan is seen outside the castle at Rochers Rduges, and Rouletabille establishes guards and fortifies the place against him. VII Old Bob, a professor. exhibits what he describes as "the oldest skull in the world". VIII and IX Roulatabille traces Lar san and one Brignooles on a mys- terious journey. At a luncheon Roulatabille and his friend real ize the presence of Larsan at the castle and are horrified. X Rouletabille calls his friends' at tention to the haunting odor of the perfume used by "the Lady in Black," Mme. Darzac. XI A mysterious pistol shot is heard in the bight. CHAPTER. XIII. When My Father Wears a Witf It Will Fit." HT ,T was literally true that be was frightened. And 1 was more terrified myself than words could exoress. 1 had never seen him in Such a state of mental in quietude. "I want to aslc yon, my boy, whether yonr mother told you the story of the accident with the revolver? . "No," he answered, "and I asked her nothlne." "And you swore to see nothing and hear nothing without her saying any thing to you about the pistol sbot ana cry?" The young man now gazed at me In tently. "It was necessary for me to believe. For my part, I respected the secrets of the Lady In Black. I had notbing to ask of her when she said to me, 'We must leave eacb other now, my child, but nothing can ever separate us again!' " . "Ah, she said that to you 7" "Yes, and there was blood upon ber hands." We looked at each other in silence. I was now at the window and beside the reporter. Suddenly bis band touch ed mine. Then he pointed to the little taper which was burping at the en trance to the subterranean door which led to Old Bob's study In the tower. "It Is dawn." said Rouletabille, "and Old Bob is still at work. We wUl go and bae a peep at blm." A few momenta-Jater we descended Into the oetacon room of the Tower of Charles the Bold. The lamp was burn ing ot. The table, but there was no sign ef Old Bob. Be picked up the lamp and exam-..-vthinir. We came to the little desk table. There we found the ikuU, and It was true that It nao Deen pal tered with the red paint of the wash drawing which Daraac bad set to dry upon that part of the desk which faced the window. I went from one window to the other and shook the bars to assure myself that they had an hMn tamDered wltn. -What are yon about T asked Bou- tetabllle. -Before thinking aDoui now he could bare got out at tne windows wooldnt U be better to And out whether be went by the doorr Be set the lamp a poo the parapet and looked for traces of footprint.

He was making drawings with a rule, a square, a measure and a compass, seat ed in the geologist's easy chair, with Darzac's drawing board before him. He was qujetly making a plan. He had pricked the paper with one of the points of his compass while the other point traced the circle which might represent the Tower of the Bold as we could see lt In the design of M. Darzac. Then, dipping bis brush into a tiny dish half full of the red paint which M. Darzac had been using, be carefully spread the paint over the en tire space occupied by the circle. In doing this be was extremely particu lar, giving the greatest attention to seeing that the paint was of the same thickness at every point. His face took on a look like tlint of a maniac Then be turned toward me so quickly that he upset the great easy chair in which he had been seated. "Salnclair! Balnclalr! Look at the red paint! Look at the red paint!" I leaned over the drawing, terrified by his savage tone. "The red paint, the red paint!" he kept groaning, his eyes staring in his head as though he were witnessing some frightful spectacle. "But what what is it?" I stam mered. "'What is it?' My God, man, can't you see? Don't you know that that Is blood?" No, I did not know lt indeed, I was quite sure that lt wasn't blood. It was merely red paint But I took care not to contradict Rouletabille. 1 feigned to be interested In this idea of blood. "Whose blood?' I inquired. "Do you think that it can be Larsan's?" "Oh, oh, oh! Larsan's blood? Who knows anything about Larsan's blood? Who has ever seen the color of It? To see that, it would be necessary to open my own veins, Salnclair. That's the only way. My father would not let his blood be spilled like that" He was speaking again with that strange, desperate pride of his father. "When my father wears a wig It will fit. My father would not let bis blood be spilled like that" He spoke again: "My poor mother did not deserve this. I did not deserve lt" A tear ran down bis cheek and fell Into the little dlsb of paint. "Ah!" he cried. "It Isn't necessary to fill It any fuller." And he picked up the tiny cup with Infinite care and carried it to the cabinet. "Let us go! Let us go!" he said :otj have niT.ro irr racixr drearily at last. "The time Is come. Salnclair. No matter what happens, we can never turn back new. The Udy in Black must tell us everything -everything about the ms a who la In that sack." He knocked at the door of the square tower I asked him whether be did not wish me to leave aim alone with Us mother. But, to my great mrr prUw. be begged me not to abaadoa blm "for snytblng to the wortd-eo Out the circle should not bs cked--And be sdded mournfully.

Ton have been there all night. You know all What do you want now?' She added In deep misery: "You swore to me that you would seek to know nothing." Rouletabille took ber hand. "Come, mother, dearest," be said tenderly. . She did not resist in the least But when be led ber to the door of the fa tal chamber she recoiled. "Not there!" she moaned. Rouletabille tried the door. It was locked. He called Bernler, who opened the door and then hurried away. Once the door was opened we looked into the room. What a spectacle we beheld! The chamber wi.afln the most frightful disorder, and the crimson dawn which entered through the vast embrasures rendered the disorder still more sinister. What an Illumination for a chamber of horrors! Blood was upon the walla and upon the floor and upon the furniture the blood of the rlHlug sun and the blood of him whom Toby bad carried off In the sack, no one knew whither, in the potato bag! The tables, the chairs, the sofas, were all overturned. The curtains of the bed to which the man in his death agony had tried desperately to cling were half torn down, and one could distinguish upon one of them the mark of a bloody hand. Mme. Darzac murmured: "We are delivered!" Rouletabille had fallen upon his knees at ber side. Then she told us the story. She looked at the closed door. She looked at the overturned furniture and the blood spattered walls and floor and narrated the details of the frightful scene. She told us that as soon as Darzac had entered bis room be had drawn the bolt and had walked to the little table in the center of the room. The apartment was lighted only by a wax candle. The silence of the room was sudden ly broken by a loud crash like that ot a niece of furniture. The crash came from the little panel, and then all was silent Darzac made a movement to ward the panel which was situated at the back of the room on the right nana side. He was nailed to the spot where he stood by a second crash loader than the first, and this time it seemed to ber that she could see the panel move. But at that very moment "the panel swung .open before them. -A shadowy form issued from the panel Dtterlng a cry of rage, Darsao rushed upon the figure. -And thai sbsdow-tbat shadow bad a face that yoa con Id see?" tBterrrpt ed BooleubUie. -Mamma, why did yoa aot see the facet f oa have kflled the shadow, bat bow do we know that It was Larsan If yoa did aot see his facet Perhaps yoa hare aot area killed Larsan's shadow r -Oh, yes." sbe replied almost Hstlaai tv.

Suddenly be rose to his feet, holding In his band a revolver which be ha& found under the paneL "You have found bis revolver!" cried Darzac. "He did not have time to use it." As he spoke Darzac took from bla pocket his own revolver, which had saved his life, and held it out to the young man. "This Is a good weapon.' he said. Bouletabllle examined It closely. Then be compared the pistol With that which had fallen from the band of the assassin. The latter bore the mark of a London gaasmlth. lt was new, every barrel was flUedV aadiBeatota. bltte declared that It bad never been fired. "Larsan only avails1 himself ef-re- arms to the last extremity," said the young man. "He hates noise ef any kind. He Intended merely to frighten you with It or be would have fired Im mediately.'' And Rouletabille returned it. Dar- vac's revolver and pat Larsan's la his pocket Rouletabille made . fear' steps through the room and said: "Where Is the body?" Darsae replied: . "Ask my wife. I want to forget all about It I know aothing more about this borrlbls thing, No one save Ume. Darzac knows where the body Is. She may tell yon If she likes." "I have forgotten, too.' said Ma thilde. "I was obliged to do so." "Nevertheless,'' Insisted Rouletabille, shaking bis head, "you must toll me. Yoa said that be waa In his agony.

You are a gentleman!" Arthur Banco arose and said, bis face as pallid as though be bad seea a ghost: "Larsan Is dead.

We entreated ber to be calm and to remember that because ber un tie bed sbsented himself from tbe feeaJnsttla dM not necessarily that he bad disappeared to tbe potato sack, and we reproached Rouletabille with his brutality to blurting out an Idea which could only be, at the pres ent tlgis, at all events, a hypothesis of his uneasy mind. But the young iwomaa turned scornfully. "M. Salnclair, I sincerely nope that toy ancle's absence from bare will only bs of abort duration, for if It should turn out otherwise I should ac cuee yoa of being an accomplice to the most cowardly murder. As to yoa," turning to Rouletabille, -tbo mere Idea that yoa dared compare Larsan with my uncle, the kindliest sonl and tbo greatest scholar of bto time, forbids me to consider yoa so a friend, and I hope you will relieve mo of your presence." -Madams." replied Rouletabille, "I was Jest about to ask your permission to leave. 1 have a Journey of twenty four hours to take. I shall return to be of assistance to 70a to accounting for the disappearance of your ancle." "If my ancle baa not returned with in twenty-four hoars I shall lodge a complaint to tbe bands of the police, monsieur." -It is a good plan, ma da me, bat first 1 advise yoa to question all tbe serv ants In whom yoa have confidence, particalarly MattonJ. Question him question blm. Ah, before 1 take my departure allow mo to leave with yoa this excellent and histories! book." And Rouletabille drew a small volume from bis pocket "This to a work of M. Albert BataUla, a copy of bla Civil and Criminal Cases,' to which I advise yoa to read tbe adventures, dis guises, travesties and decepTJone wrought by aa Ulustrloes swindler whose tree name waa Ballmeyer. -After having read this," he went on, "ask yourself carefully whether the cleverness of such an individual would have found very great difficulty la presenting himself before your eyea Under tbo guise of sn uncle whom yoa bad not seen In four years, for It waa four, years, me da me, since yoa bad seen Old Bob until that Ume thst yon started out to the heart of the Pampas to look for him.
