"You have, of course, visited the Steen, that great castle down the street yonder, ones a prison of the Inquisition, now a museum. Did you take a guide with lighted flambeaus and explore the frightful dungeons under tha castle, each cell and corridor of which seems to exhale hideous memories of the tortures Inflicted upon unfortunate prisoners In the Dark Ages, when Spanish cruelty ruled this country with an Iron hand?" Stuart replied in tha negative. Ills artist soul had feasted on the treas- ures which lay littered about the courtyard of the onetime palace; hut tha musty dunjeons he had but hastily surveyed, being naturally averse to the contemplation of such horror.

"The deuce!" exclaimed Charlie, taken aback; hut, not In the least disconcerted, the other went on: "Tell me, have you heard tbe story or rumor that Is circulated here and there through certain circles about a modem man In tho Iron Mask sup- -' posed to be Incarcerated In tho Steen dungeons?" "I remember hearing some little talk about such a thing, but really never pursued tha subject." "Briefly, then, it has long beeu whispered that there was recently, and may still continue to be, s secret prisoner confined In a lonely dungeon under yonder massive pile of masonry a man whose face Is forever hidden behind an Iron mask that is secured by a padlock. I have reached the conclusion that this man of mystery might ha some troublesome heir to tba German throne, or els a sou of Louis Napoleon. Think for a minute what wonderful possibilities thla vista opens to the dramatist! It Is quit enough to inspire tha dullest mind! And I am resolved to explore thos ancient dungeons personally, as no on baa ever done before, with ths lecretly avowed purpose of learning whether I may found roj great drama upon a truth, or tbe mere fabric of a Dutch legend. And yo will accompany me, my boy, out 01 pure philanthropy, to share In the exhilaration of lucceaa" touching n suspicious parkas h carried under hi left arm "or to support me In rasa of exasperating failure," Charlie Stuart could not aay him nay; he really had nothing on foot whereby to kilt time, and Artemua waa such n jolly and original dog that It were worth something to have th pleaaure of hla aorlety fur n apace f Uma. fa, hesitating, he fell. hot-tlell- ka - Charlie had seen all these before, and cast but a casual glance around, being more deeply Interested in tbe actions of bis confederate. An old dame with her wide cap started toward them, put one glance from Artemus eyes seemed to bring about a decided change in her Intentions, for she stood still, and then backed away. It waa a signal victory, or, as Artemus expressed It, a "howling success;" nevertneleas, hls companion was still fain to believe the magic of gold had more to do with the old ladys sudden blindness than the exertion of rare hypnotic powers on the part of the proud wizard. Content to follow the others lead, Charlie soon found hlmseif In that apartment where several tall brass candlesticks stood upon an antique table, to be used In exploring the mysteries below. Artemua motioned that he should straightway possess himself of one, In order that their candles might have a proper receptacle, and Charlie, having enlisted for tbe war, come weal, come woe, took up the nearest of the lot, which was In itself a treasure of art Nervously Artemus tried several keys in rapid succession, muttering to himself the while in a way peculiar to him. At last came a little subdued screech that announced success on ths part of the chattering Idiot at his side. They were evidently in for It, since the ponderous door opened before them. Charlie waa not the one to hold back, eo he stepped beyond the portal and went down. Immediately the door closed, and the clang of It was unlike any sound he could ever remember hearing. That creaking, rusty key turned in the lock. "Now," said Artemua, In a shrill voice, pregnant with eager anticipation, "now we are in control, and the devil dungeons of the Steen must yield up their ghastly secrets to a mastr." Down the venerable stairs they wended their way. Could those same steps have been gifted with the power of speech, what strange and startling tales they might have given forth, of human misery, of historical personages and deeds that would have made But they the bravest cheeks pale. were mute. Tbe dread secrets of the dim past would ever be safe In their keeping. "Hark! Artemus uttered this word In a ehrill whisper, and at the same time clutched hls companion's arm. Their surroundings were so eerie that It was not wonderful that hls vivid imagination seized upon the slightest pretext to arouse the ghosts that had lain lieve he had passed through soma an- pleasant experience with lovely woman-been deceived, perhaps jilted. Although always gallant toward the fair sex, he seemed to be ever on hla guard, as though quite determined no mortal who wore petticoats should have a second opportunity to play battledore and shuttlecock with hls heart But this was something entirely out of the common run; and as he stood there listening, to make sure there could be no mistake, he felt an electric thrill pervade his whole being, such as he never before experienced. Charlie determined to go forward. He was surprised at himself for the peculiar .resolution that urged him on. It seemed as though he were being dragged forward by some Inexorable fate, whether he would or not And the sound of sobbing still continued, stealing along the gaunt passageways. The darkness beyond waa apparently as fearfully dense as that which descended upon poor, plague-strickEgypt at the time Pharaoh declined to let the children of Israel en go. As Charlie advanced he noted that the sound, which had erstwhile reached their hearing but faintly, grew more distinct. Thus he was presently able to place the sobbing, and, still advancing, he began to discern the dim outlines of a figure upon the ground. As he drew closer he saw that this was a girl In a long cloak, and that she had hidden her face In her hands, as though to shut out the ghostly figures conjured up by the gloom. One thing waa very sure when Artemus, in the earlier stages of their exploration, declared he heard a faint shout, it had not been the gurgle of the greedy Sheldt gliding underneath the crypts and corridors, as he (Charlie) had so confidently declared, but in all probability, this lost explorer calling for nelp. Well, thank God they had found her, and were in a position to render her the assistance she craved. After all, it had not been such a wild-goochase as be had believed when yielding to the importunities of hi adventurous comrade. They advanced closer still. As yet the distressed one was not aware of their presence, or the blessed answer to her prayers. Her attitude of abandon was most effective, and Charlie could not but think what & charming picture she made there, overwhelmed, not by grief, but the terror of her situation. It was not intentional on Artemus part, but some sudden chill draught caused him to give a vociferous sneeze. This waa instantly followed by a little shriek as the girls hands fell from her face, and she turned a pair of very large and very startled eyes upon the two comrades. It was, of course, Cnarlles bounden duty to immediately speak and reassure the alarmed fraulien that they were flesh and blood like herself, and not spirits of the olden martyrs who had met deaths of torture In these dungeons; but for the life of him, and perhaps for the first time in the course of hls whole experience, he could not say a word. For the soft light of hls waxen taper fell full upon the face that had until now been hidden behind the girls as hands a face that, It was, and more or less begrimed from contact with foul walls during her groping In the dark, electrified him with Its peculiar charm of beauty, and started his traitor heart to beating as it had not done these many moons, since be had quitted the presence of another fair woman, with bitterness against the whole sex raging in hls bosom.
