CHAPTER XX.—(Continued.)
The due gnashed hie teeth in a
passion of Impotent anger. Ho bad
•not told Jules of mudame'a quick emo
tion at sight of her countryman, how
she had greeted him, or that the stal
wart American had left the palace iiu
mediately after. A moat poisonous
suspicion was penetrating his mind.
He had Just remembered that she had
insisted upon leaving by herself, for
bidden nlm to see her to her carriage.
What a fool ho had been, to believe
; that women were any better than
men! And she had taken him In so
easily! All she wanted, of course,
was to free herself of police surveil
lance, so that ahe might go back to
the man who had followed her from
America. What was he to do now?
Put tho matter Into the hands of the
police, and ao incur public exposure?
No, that would not do. It would not
help him to have her brought back a
prisoner. Did he want her back at
all, since she had thus cruelly killed
his nascent faith in her flawlessness?
He did not know.
He nastily left the bouse; and, as
he walked, with bent head. Quaint
ance came toward him, arm In arm
with Cornoyer and In a mood no lew
reckless.
At sight of him the due stopped
abruptly, and drew a long, hissing
breath. Cornoyer. who knew the due,
had nodded a salutation and would
Lave passed on.
He Intercepted the pair by stepping
squarely In front of Quaintance.
"The pleasure of a word with mon
sieur," he begged, having lifted his
but with great ceremony.
Quaintance waited, Impassive, while
Cornoyer reluctantly drew to one aide.
"Where Is madume, my wife?" de
manded the due in the game steely
and monotonous voice, his chin thrust
forward, a Are of hate alight In his
narrowed eyes.
"How the devil do I know where
madame your wife is!” retorted Quain
tance. thankful for the excuse to pick
quarrel with the roue who had robbed
him of his heart's desire.
The due struck him. lightly enough,
across the face, but the voice in
which he branded him. • , Liar!” rang
loud. It had scarce left his lips wheu
Qualntance returned the blow, but in
such wise that his enemy went hurt
ling against a bystander who had
halted in blank amazement, and they
both came to earth with a crash.
Cornoyer sprang forward. A crowd
gathered. Then Cornoyer went for
ward. leaving Qualntance strictly
charged to restrain himself, to where
the victim of hia friend’s right arm
was quietly stanching a cut chin and
Striving to convince those who encir
cled him that he had no further im
mediate violent Intention. He willing
ly accompanied Cornoyer in the
direction of the door, while Quaiu
lance sauntered toward his hotel.
When Cornoyer came back he wora
a look of genuine gravity for the first
time.
••M. le Due demands satisfaction,”
he said. ”1 told him that you would
be quite ready to accord It. May I
.act for you in the matter?"
"I hate to drag you in. J. J.,” Qualn
tance told him, but —If you don’t
mind”
"The due's a most expert swords
man," Cornoyer staled, reflectively.
"He’d run you through in a twinkling,
unless you’re a first-class fencer.”
"Then we'll strike swords out, old
chap."
"He’s a dead shot, too," said Cor*
noyer.
"He'll be a dead shot when I’ve
done with him." Qualntance asserted,
grimly. "Better make it guns of some
kind, J. J "
"He’ll send a friend round between
4 and 5. We’ll fix it for tomorrow at
dawn, If that suits you."
"Perfectly. The sooner we get it
over the better.”
When M. le Due reached his rooms
In the Rue St. Honore, a short walk
from the Place Vendome, with hU
handkerchief to his chin, he found
Tissot-Latour. He had been at a loss
to know where to turn for a friend
who would not Infer too much from
the fact that he mennt to light the
American to whom all Paris at the
Elyesse had seen his unsmiling
duchesse both smile and speak. Fur
thermore. this fat vulgarian was cf
good standing In the prefecture de
police.
Tlasot-Latour was too grateful for
his kindness to run any risk of curd
ling It by acceding to his request oth
erwise than freely.
"If anything f heard about it I'M
hold you responsible," the due cau
tioned, menacingly. "You’ll have
plenty of notoriety after It’s over."
"Me, I seek not notoriety," his sec
ond assured him.
He panted round to the Rue* St.
Roch, and It was settled that the
meeting should take place next morn
ing. as soon after dawn as there
should be light to shoot by. since the
weapons were to be platens, at 20
paces. The place, Verrleres.
Tlsaot-Latour was on the point of
bidding adieu to Cornoyer when O’Fer
ral walked in upon them. He passed
Into the room beyond, where Qualn
tance was resting.
CHAPTER XXI.
The Postern In the Impasse Dc
Paradis.
"Confound you, O’Ferral!" Qualn
tance cried crossly. "Where have you
been? I sat up all night expecting
you.”
Cornoyer winked warningly from
behind, but O’Ferral needed no hint
as to his friend’s unfortunate frame of
mind.
"Been to Havre," he rejoined pleas
antly, and, having helped himself to
a drink and a cigar, sat down. "Caught
the 12:45 there, and have Just got
hack. Had a hurry call at the last mo
ment to say that I waa lo go. Only
time to send you a line, and —here I
hid. What’a doing?"
Cornoyer came forward, and,
“Well?" asked Qualntance.
"Tomorrow, at dawn," said he. "be
hind a cottage at the edge of the Bole
de Verrlerea. Pistols, at 20 paces.
Two shots."
"One will be sufficient," commented
Qualntance, "but you were quite right
to agree to a second, J. J."
O’Ferral looked grave.
"J. J.,’* he remarked, seeking no
superfluous explanations, "I want you
to do me a favor.”
"Consider It done," replied the dlher
without hesitation.
"I want you to let me take your
place tomorrow at dawn. I Introduced
you to Newman and you must let mo
take a hand in this trouble. I’m bet
ter situated than you for any affair
r 9
of the sort, because I have no fumlly.
If I I and stain! out, us you re going
to and oblige roe."
“All right,” agreed Cornoyer with
an obvious effort. "If Newman —
Quaintance doesn't object, have it
your own way.” Quaintance hud taken
Cornoyer completely Into his con
fidence that morning, telling hint tho
ktraerge story of Stephen Quaintance,
his uncle's will, and the girl who was
now the Duches.se des He res.
O’Ferral turned to Quaintance with
a quick Inquiry. "What’s been hap
pening?”
"All m> plans have miscarried
mo6t damnably,” Quaintance explain
ed. "The dead man on whom 1 be
stowed my identity does not seem *o
have supported it long. There’s a
spurious Stephen Quaintance turned
up. in tho person of that very fellow
J. J. had with him at tho Cornucopia.
We met him again last night, but he’d
gone before I found out what his gamo
was. He must have robbed the body
of all my papers, and thought that by
posing as me ho might make his for
tune.
"But lie's Just too late. Miles
Qualntance's adopted daughter La
married already. She Is the Duchesso
des Reves.
"The Due des Reves gave me <o
understand a couple of hours ago that
Ills wife had disappeared, and called
me a liar because I stated that 1 did
not know where she was. I had never
spoken to the man before. Tomorrow
at dawn lie and 1 are going to settle
accounts, on that, score and other* - .’’
O’Ferral was regarding him with a
deep frown.
“The duchesso has disappeared!” he
said. "Now that's strange—very
strange. I saw the duchesse leave the
Elyaee last night. It was the due's
car* she drove ofT In. I know, but tho
chauffeur was that saane fellow you
had at the Cornucopia, J. J., and who.
It seems, is now posing as Stephen
Quaintance. I recognized him with
some difficulty, but I'll swear that it
was he. And perhaps he could tell
the Due des Reves something as to
the duchesses thereabouts.”
"When does the twedvemonth term
of the will expire, Steve?”
Quaintance was on his feet.
"What date’s this?" he muttered.
"The sixteenth. It must be tonight.
Yes. that's right I kept a careful
note In my memory. Time's up at
midnight.
“Damnation! What a fool I was.
He must have kidnaped her. I wasn’t
bothering much about him —I thought
he was too late to do any harm. I
must get after him at once. I saw
him and that scoundrel with the black
beard at a door in the Impasse de
Paradis. I'll try that first. I’ll shoot
him like a dog If”
He hurried into his bedroom, mut
tering threats, and came back chaig
-1 lng a .revolver.
"Put tlmt thing down,’’ said O’Fer
ral In his utornest voice, his back
against the door, whither he had
sprung in quick precaution. "Under
stand plainly that you and 1 are tak
ing the thing up together at this
stage.”
His masterful tone did not fail of
effect on his friend's fevered mind,
and to him as commander of the
expedition Cornoyer addressed a mod
est request that lie might be permitted
to Join it.
It had been dark for nearly an hour
before they set out, and, when they
reached the street, it was raining.
They went on down the Impasse,
and Quaintance pointed out the
postern. O'Ferrul pulled a little elec
tric torch from his pocket and scrutin
ized the keyhole carefully.
"Someone been out. and In quite
lately,” he said. “We’ll have a look
at the front of this building."
A weatherbeaten board announced
that It was to let. furnished, for a term
of years, and that the keys might be
had from a nearby bakery.

THE DETROIT TIMES: SATURDAY, 5, 1909.
"MAKE BELIEVE.’*
"I'm a man now," said Johnny, and
he stretched himself up and swelled
himself out. He had on his first pair
of trousers, and what boy wouldn't
feel grown up at a time like that?
But mother and Maggie both got
tired of admiring them before long,
and Johnny felt he must show them to
someone else. So he went down the
walk, and down one street and up un
other, till suddenly he smelled some
one’s dinner, and knew all at once
that he was tired and hungry.
"I guess I’ll go home," thought John
ny. "Lots of folks have seen my pants
now "
But he couldn’t find the way. He
was lost. Johnny was brave. He
walked and looked; he tried not to
cry, but Ms eyes got so full of tears
that he wuiked straight Into a man
without knowing It.
"Why, my man, what’s wrong?” said
a big. kind voice.
"I’m not a man," cried Johnny. "I’m
mother’s little boy, and I want to go
home!”
"Why, goodness me,' 1 said the man,
"if it isn’t Johnny Dean. Homo you
go this minute." And home Johnny
wtnt, and it was hard to tell which
was the happier—Johnny or his
mother.
But it was a long, long time before
Johnny ever made believe he was a
man again.
