It was Greloire, who appeared to have seen him at the same moment; for he paused, as If waiting for the boy to come near. "Tell me have you seen him? What said he? Jean demanded, before they had gone half a dozen steps. Never mind whether or not I have seen him, replied Greloire, rather Let it suffice that he knows slowly. of my having met with you, and of your anxiety to see him. But he bids you, with his love, to stop at home for the present.

He was not pleased that I ever thought to encourage your leaving the city; and so you must promise not to attempt It.

It Is now my turn to thank you, look and a she said; for chased the smile from her eyes who shall say but that I or mine may call upon you to make good your promise? Before he could reply, they were Interrupted by the entrance of Laro,. with Thiel close behind hln; and following the two was Pierre, who with open eyes and mouth stared about him wonderingly. Laro gave his orders hastily, but clearly, after which he turned to Pierre, who stood near him. Good night, my boy; I am sorry you are not to go with me, for I would like greatly to have your stout heart and strong arm aboard the Algle. You will come with me next time? laying his hand on the boys shoulder. Jean remained silent, standing with the bell Jangled lowered eyes,-whilt a second time.

She was gone, leaving the boy standing mute, sensible of the odor of violets, and regretting ruefully his inability to have acknowledged her gracious farewell.

A minute later the boys eyes weie nearly blinded, as he followed his room, with companion into a cave-lik- e a floor of rock, which was also the material of its ceiling, and walls. It was furnished but scantily; and around a table at the farther side were several men, while somewhat apart from them sat two women. As Thiel entered, with Jean close behind him, the men ceased talking, and stared with evident displeasure at the boy all except Laro, who called out, "Aha, my young mate. Is it " thyself?

The count did not cnange his position, but stared moodily at the handsome boy while murmuring a courteous acknowledgment of his presence. As for Jean, he scarcely heard the words, so engrossed had his senses become with the beautiful face confronting him from the other corner of the room. The young lady was looking at him; and from her clear blue eyes there flashed a smile that opened the red lips to show two rows of little pearllike teeth, as she said in a voice whose sweetness held yet a note of 7 1 .

He had, while speaking, stepped through the opening, and, as the farewell came from his lips disappeared down the ladder. Ropes were fastened under the arms of the young girl and of her maid.
