CHAPTER XVIII.
The Hidden Chamber.
Hinton turned Just In time. Tin*
wheel went crushing to the fhtor and
bounded and rebounded out of the
room and along the llttlo hall. I hll-
Ippe Jumped In terror from the place
where be crouched—
And then the last atrnnd broke and
I was free to slip the cords from m>
limbs.
••You old fool I” screamed Lcroux,
catching Duchulne by the wrists, llut
Charles Duchalno possessed the
strength of a madman. He grasped
I.croux round the waist and clung to
him and would not be shaken off.
••Kill him!" he screamed. “He Is a
spy l He has come to betruy tne to the
government I"
What followed was the work of a
moment. I saw Jacqueline pull down
both broadswords from the wall. She
flung one down beside tne Just as I
was staggering to my feet.
Leroux shook off the old man at
lust. lie turned on me. 1 swung the
.word aloft und brought It down upon
his skull.
Heaven knows I struck to kill; hut
my wrist wns feeble from the ropes,
and the blade fell lint. It drew no
blood, but Leroux dropped like a
stricken ox upon the floor.
"This way 1" gasped the old mnrt.
He pulled nt Jacqueline’s nrtn, and
half led and half dragged her through
the open door behind his chair, I fol*
lowing. Lacroix sprang Into the room,
calling, but whether to us or to the
other ruffians I did not know. Leroux
snt up and looked about him, duzed
and bewildered.
Then I was In the little room with
Jacqueline and Puchnine, and he
turned nnd bolted the door behind u's.
He seemed possessed of nil the
strength nnd decision of youth nguln.
When I stood there before the room
nnd been as dark us pitch, but now a
flicker of light was at the far end.
A voice cried:
"M'sleur I M’sleur! I have not for-
gotten thee!"
It wns IMerre Caribou. I saw his
rtguro silhouetted against the light of
fhe flaring candle which he held In
his hand.
Duchnlne had placed one arm about
his daughter’s wulst nnd wns urging
her along. But she stopped nnd
looked hack to me. I saw she held
one broadsword in her hand, us I held
the other.
"Come, monsieur!” she gasped.
“I am going hack," I answered,
fumbling for the holt Duchnlne had
drawn.
"No! We are safe Inside. It Is a

Pierre and he knew the secret. Ah,
come, monsieur—come!"
ltut 1 meant to kill Leroux nnd still
felt for the bolt.
As I fumbled there the door splin-
tered suddenly und Jacqueline erk’d
out.
Then I yielded reluctantly to Jacque-
line’s soft violence. I followed her
through the dark chamber, under an
archway of stone, nnd through a wind-
ing passage In the rock. IMerre’s
candle flickered before us. nnd In an-
other moment we hud squeezed
through a narrow opening Into a cham-
ber in the clilT.
On tne ground were five or six
large stones and Pierre begun to lit
them Into the aperture through which
we had passed. In a mlouta the place
wns completely sealed, nnd we four
stood and looked breathlessly at one
another within what might huve been
a cenotaph.
The chamber seemed nt one time to
have been prepared for such u con-
tingency as had occurred, for there
were wool rugs on tho stone floor,
though they had rotted and partly dis-
integrated from the dampness.
"M. Duchnlne, ho muke this place In
case gov’ment come tuke him, ex-
plained Pierre as ho placed the rugs.
"No can find, no can break down
stono door. Other wny Simon not
know—only m’sleur and me. Old Cari-
bou he come that way; he see you tied
nnd know It time to come here. Soon
time to kill Simon come ns well.”
When, In heaven’s name, will It
come?” I cried.
'Come soon. Ills dlnble tell me,"
answered Pierre Caribou.
"I go now," he announced. "To-
morrow I como for you, take all
through tunnel. You stny here till I
come; nil sleep till morning."
"I will go with you, Pierre," I said,
still under tny obsession. But he laid
his heavy hand upon my arm and
pushed me away.
"You no kill Simon," he answered.
"Why you no kill hltn again when you
have sword? Only dlnble can kill him.
When time come dlnble tell old Cari-
bou. You sleep now. I go for take
my woman and gal safe through tun-
nel to place I know. \\ hen my woman
nnd gal snfe I come back to m’sleur
nnd ma’m'selle."
I lay down. The silence wns loneli-
ness Itself, and not rendered less
lonely by the occasional cries of the
old man and the drip, drip of water.
I could not see anything, and Jacque-
line might have been a woman of
stone, for she made not the least move-
ment.
At Inst I spoke to her.
"Jacqueline 1"
I heard her start, nnd knew that she
had raised her head nnd wns looking
after me. I crawled toward her, drag-
ging my blanket after me. I felt In
the darkness for the place where I
knew her hand must be and took it In
mine.
“Jacqueline!" I said ngnln.
“Ah, M. Hewlett"—the weariness In
her voice went to my heart—“It might
have been so different—If—"
“If what, Jacqueline?”
“If there hnd not been the blood of
n dead tnnn between us," sho moaned.
»If—you—had not—killed him !"
Iler words were a revelation to me,
for I learned that she had mercifully
been spared the full remembrnnee of
whnt hnd hnppened In the Tenth street
apartment. She thought thnt It was I
who had killed Louis d’Epernny.
And how could I deny this, when to
so would he to bring to her mind the
knowledge of her own dreadful guilt?
The hours wore away, nnd we three
lay there, two waiting nnd one dream-
ing of the old days of youth, no doubt.
I tried to light the candle to see the
time, hut my shaking hand sent It fly-
ing ncross tho cave, nnd when I
searched for my matches I found that
the box was empty.
It seemed nn eternity since we hnd
come there. It Is one thing to wait for
dawn, nnd quite another thing to wait
where dawn will never come.
1 resolved to follow the exit for a
little distance to see whither It led,
nnd if i could discover tho light of
day.
So 1 took my sword nnd sallied out
through the pnssngc in the cliff.
I hnd only proceeded a few steps
when the Mr grew cold nnd sweet.
And before I hnd traversed two hun-
dred yards I saw a dim light In the
distance. This was no candle light
but that of day. So I hnd endured all
those agonies of mind with the open
air but a short distance nway 1
As I advanced I fancied thnt I heard
the soft pattering of feet behind me.
I halted nnd listened intently. I
crouched against the wall and waited.
Hut I heard nothing now except the
distant roaring of the cataracts. How
sweet they sounded now 1
I listened intently, leaning against
the wall and facing backward, holding
my sword ready to meet any Intruder.
Hut there was no sound from within,
except the soughing which one hears
in n tunnel, nnd satisfied nt last thnt
I had been the victim of an over-
wrought imagination I pursued my
course. But 1 hnd not gone six pnees
before I heard a scream thnt still
rings In my ears today, nnd a shadow
sprang out of the darkness nnd rushed
nt me. It was old Charles Duchnlne.
His white hair streamed behind him;
his face bore nn expression of indelible
horror nnd rage, nnd In his hand he
held the other sword.
He struck at me, a great, sweeping
blow which would almost have cut me
in two. I had Just time to parry it.
and then he was upon me, raining
blows upon my outstretched sword.
Though his attack wu* wild th*
vigor of IiIh blows ulinost heat down
tny guard. At last a random blow of
mine swept the weapon from his feeble
old hand and sent It whirling down the
cataruct Into the lake below.
Then he was at my throat, nnd It
wns fortunate thut there was Arm rook
Instead of slippery Ice beneath us, or
we should both huvo followed the
sword.
"Culm yourself, for heaven's snke,
monsieur 1” I gasped •* I gained a mo-
mentary advantage over him. "Don't
you know me? I ntn your friend. I
want to save you!"
"You shnll not take mol I hnve
done nothing! It wns years ago I Let
me go! I*et me go I" he screamed.
I released him for s moment, hoping
thnt his disordered bruin would calm
enough for him to recognize me and
thut, when he saw nty motives were
peaceful he would grow quiet.
But suddenly, with n flnnl howl, ho
sprang past me, sweeping mo against
the wall, nnd leaped out on the ledge.
I held my breath. I expected to see
him stngger to his death below. But
he stood motionless In the middle of
the little platform nnd stretched out
his arms toward the raging torrent ns
though In Invocation. Then ho leaped
across with tho nglllty of a wild sheep
and rushed on Into the tunnel be-
yond.
I started back, keeping this time to
the right side of the tunnel, until I
heard the gurgling of the brook. Then
1 heard Jacqueline’s footstep.
"Who Is It?" she culled wildly. "M.
Hewlett! My fntherl"
I caught her ns she swayed toward
nte. "lie 1ms gone Jacqueline," I said.
"I went into the tuunel to try to find

this country was not at all promising,
In spite of the fact that the United

SATISFYING RELIEF
FROM LUMBAGO
Try a Betel-Nut.
Instead of offering elgnrs nnd elg-
arets, In Persia one is offered a betel
nut Everyone carries a supply ot
them In neat little ivory boxes, not
unlike the snuff-boxes of our ances-
tors. The betel-nut is n narcotic, in
its effects not unlike tobacco, but it
ts much more harmful. Those who
chew It suffer from inflamed gums,
nnd they generally lose their teeth.
The betel Is a species of climbing
plant, with a leaf not unlike Ivy. 11
yields a crop of nuts, which are ground
to a powder; this Is mixed with a
similar powder derived from tht
ureca-nut, and made Into a paste,
which Is wrapped In pieces of beteP
leaf.
The experience of the specialists of
the United States department of agri-
culture with this variety has demon-
strated that a large annual production
of fruit is dependent upon specific
horticultural treatment nt a particular
period In the development of the vine.
This treatment Is none other than that
of ringing the trunk or bearing canes
of the vines, which consists In remov-
ing a narrow band of bark at the time
the vines are In bloom. Unless this Is
done, the individual fruits in the clus-
ter are not likely to be uniform In size
and period of ripening. On vines
which hnve been treated by ringing,
the fruits are large, uniform in char-
acter nnd ripen evenly. Because of the
climatic conditions In certain districts
of tike vineyard area of California In
which the raisin Industry has not de-
veloped. this early ripening grape,
which must be treated In the same way
as other raisin grapes, is expected to
prove more successful than have any
of the late ripening raisin sorts, thus
making It possible to produce cur-
rants of satisfactory quality In the
bay counties where raisin production
has not heretofore developed.
The name “Fnnariti,” which has been
applied to the variety, is taken from
the name of one of the most famous
grape growing districts In Greece
where this sort was obtained. The
Panarltl Is a distinct variety of the
type of grapes used for the making of
currants and should not he confused
with other sorts of the currant type of
grape previously introduced Into the
United Stntes.
