She wept bitterly at the thought of being com- pelled to continue her present disreputable mode of life, when a thousand francs—a sam ishe believed Martin's capture would have ensured her-—besides sufficien! for ber trave)- ling expeuses and decent ouifit, would, she satd, purchase a partuersbip in a small but respectable millinery shop in Paris. ‘Well,’ I remarked to her, * there is no reason for despair, You have not only proved your sincerity and good faith ; but

' Yes; with the exception of a woman who is minding the premises, and of whom he is an acquaintance under another name. You will be able to secure him without the least risk or difficulty, but not an instant must be lost.’

Madame Jaubert perceived my half-besi-

‘to suspect me after what has oceurred.’ ‘True,’ L replied. Lead on.’ The house at which we stopped in Greek

‘Is Mr. Brown still within? Madame. Jaubert asked in a low voice.

‘ Yes, what do you want with him ?

‘I have brought a gentleman who will, most likely be a purehaser of some of the goods he has to dispose of.’

‘Walk in, then, if you please,’ was the answer. We did so and found ourselves, as the door closed, in pitch darkness. * This way,’ said the woman; ‘ you shall have a light in half a minute,’

* Let me guide you,’ said Madame Janbert as I groped onwards by the wail, and at the same time seizing my right hand. In- stantly as she did so, [ heard a rustle just behind me—two quick and violent blows descended on the back of my hed, there was a flush before my eyes, a suppressed shout of exultation rang ia my ears, and 1 fell iusensible to the ground,

Ma- dame Jaubert and James Martin were also there; and ever and anon the menacing countenance of Levasseur stooped over me with a hideous expression, and I felt as if clutched in the fiery gasp of ademon. I have no doubt that the voice which sounded | in my ear, at the moment [ was felled to the ground, must have suggested the idea of the Swiss, faintly and imperfeetly as | caught it.
