To be Continued.)
Well did yon feel tt too?
I felt s mot be red. I con Id scarcely
articulate. - ,
"Mr was there at that table unless
wo are going mad."
There was a panse. and then I re
sumed more calmFy:
"Totl know. Ronlrtabtrte. that It la
quite, possible- tbat wo are going mad.
Tbla pbaatasm of Larsaa will laod n
all In a madhouse yet! We bare been
hat tip here only two days, aod see
the state we are in!" - f
r Alt In a moment he seemed to grow
perfectly calm. . .
"Let' o reason It oat. Do not look
for La nan In tbat place where be re
veals ' hlmsela Seek for blm every
where else except where be bides him
self." ;..- -'
He' seated himself, placed bis pipe
on the table,' buried fate face in 'bis
bands and said
"Now ttavf bo eyes. Tell me, Sin
clair who is within these walls V
"There la, first of all, yon and I.
Tery welL" . '
"Neither of as," I contirmed, "is

"Whyf I echoed. -
"Tea, why. Tell mev Ton roust1 give
reaaoa why you believe so. I ac
knowledge that I am not Larsaa. I
am sure of tbat. for I am Routetabille:
bat, face to face with Rauletabllle. tell
me wby yea cannot be Larsaa neiiGer
you. nor Stsngersoo, nor M. Darsac.
nor Arthur Ranee, nor Old Bob, nor
Prince Galitcb. Bat we mast know
some good reason wby each of these
cannot be Larsaa. Only when tbat la
accomplished sball I be able to breathe
freely behind these stone waller
"Bow about tbe servants?" 1 asked.
"1 am absolutely certain that none
Cf them was absent from tbe Fort of
Hercules whett La run appeared to
k me. JDtrxae ftd to U. Danae at tbe
railway station at Bo org."
"Own Up. HouJetabUle." I cried,
"that yoa don't trouble yourself about
tbem because tone of tbelr eyes were
behind tbe black spectacles."
"Be quiet, please. Son make me
more nervosa than my mother." -
Tbla phrase, tittered la vexation,
track roe' strangely. Ha resumed
meditatively:
"First. SatBcla'ir Is not La man be
cause Salnciifr was at Trepot with me
while Larsaa was at Bourg.
."Second. Professor Stangeraon la not
Larsaa because be- was on bis -way
from DUofi to Lyons while Lersan,was
at Bourg. As a fact, reaching- Lyons
one minute before aim, M. and Mate.
Danae aaw him alirbt from the
train." ' - '
"Bdt alt tbe ethers, if It la neces
sary to prove that tbey were not at
Bourg- at that moment, might be Lar
saa. for all of them might bare been
at Boorf." ,
"First. M. Darsac was there- Arthur
Ranee was away from home during
the two days which preceded the ar
rival ot tbe professor and ot Dar-
rae. ' tie arrived at Mentoae Just In
time to receive tbem M me. Edith her
self Informed me in reply to a few
Careless questions of mine that her
nusbandthad been absent those two
days on buainesat. Old Bob made "bis
Journey to Parts. Prince Ualltch was
not seen at tbe grottoes nor outside
the Gardens of Babylon. .
"First, let us take Darsac."
"RoOleUbUle." J cried, "that Is sac
rilege: It Is stupid r
"I know It! But whyf
"Because." I exclaimed, almost be-
alde myself. "Larsaa a genfus, we
are aware; be might be able to de
ceive a detective, a Journalist, a r
forter. and even a Rouietabille; be
might etea deceive a friend under
some circumstances. I admit. Bat be
could never deceive a daughter' so
far tbat abe would take blm for ber
father. Tbat ought to reassure yoa
as to M. Stangerson. Nor would he
deceive a woman to tbe point of tak
ing aim for her betrothed. . And. my
friend. .Matollde Stangerson knew M.
Danae and threw herself Into bis
arms at tbe railway station." ,
And she knew La nan, too," added
Rouietabille coldly. .
"I prefer rather to bestow, for tbe
bake ot supposition, a personality en
M. Robert Darzac which I have never
expected to fasten Upon him in order
to base my argument against the pos
sibility a little more solidly. If Rob
ert Darsac were Larsaa, Larsaa would
not have appeared on several occa
sions to Mathilda Stangerson. for It Is
tbe apparition of Laraan that baa cre
ated a g-uif between Mathilda Stanger
son and Robert Danae"
Pshawr I cried. "Of what use are
aucb vain reasonings when one baa
only to open bis eyes 7"
"Upon whom?" be asked bitterly.
"Prince Gall ten the prince from tbe
Black Lands."
"Prince Gall ten Is a nihilist, and 1
am not troubled over blm in tbe least
degree. Be ruler's wife told me she
knows one ot three old women whom
Mme. Edith saw In bis ground. I have
made an investigation.. She is the
mother of one of tbe three men bang
ed at Kazan for the attempted assassi
nation of the emperor. I have seen
the photograph of the poor wretches.
The other two old women are the
other two mothers."
"And Old Bobr I asked.
"No, dear boy, no!" scoffed Rouieta
bille. almost angrily. "Not he either.

THE FARMER: DECEMBER 14,
by Brenfano's. 3
CHAPTER JL
His Agony From the Perfume
of the Lady In Black.
(D
PUT my bead ouof tbe window
on waking next morning. Mme.
Edith waa walking In tbe court,
chatting carelessly with Roule-
tabiile and twisting the stem of a
beautiful rose between ber pretty fin
gers. I followed Rouietabille, whom I
saw on bis way to make bis Inspection
of the square tower. I found him
quite calm and entirely master of aim
self and also entirely tbe master of
bis eyes. . It was worth while to see
the manner in which be looked at ev
ery thing around blm! Nothing es
caped him. . ' And tbe square tower,
tbe abode of the Lady In Black, was
the object of bis constant surveillance.
When M. and Mme. Darzac wen not
In their apartment, the only key which
opened the door was In the keeping of
the Bernien, and it waa a special kind
of key made purposely for tbe room
within the last twenty-four boon m a
place which no one but Rouietabille
knew. He bad let no one Into tbe
secret. . . . .
Rouietabille wished tbat the watch
might be kept also upon tbe. rooms
of Old Bob, but the latter swore that
he would not be treated like 'a pris
oner, and be said tbat on no account
would be give up the privilege of go
ing and coming to bis own rooms when
be saw fit without asking the keys
from the lodge keepen.
Mme. Edith had said,, with ber lips
pressed together lit a narrow little
line, "Bat; M. Rouietabille, my' uncle
doesn't think that any one is coming
to carry blm away T'
Rouietabille, after asking after tbe
health of Mere Bernler, wbo waa gath
ering; up potatoes and patting them In
a bag, .requested Pere Bernler to open
the door of the-Darsac room. -
: Tbla waa the lint time that X had
entered the apartment. Tbe atmos-
pbere was almost freexing. Tbe large
room, furnished with simplicity, con
tained a bed and a toilet table placed
at one of tbe two openings In the wall
around which there had formerly been
loopholes. Tbe two windows were fit
ted with ban of Iron between which
one could scarcely .pass one's arm. Op
posite In the angle of the tower was
a panel. It would bave been Impossible
for any one y hide in this chamber nn
less behind this paneL And the Bernien
had received orden to look every time
tbey visited tbe room both behind the
panel and in tbe closet where Danae
Jaung his clothes.
When we passed Into the sleeping
room of Mme. Darxac wo were abso
lutely' certain that we had left noth
ing behind us of which we did not
know; . . . V v
Mme. Darzac'b . room was smaller
than than tbat of ber husband. But
It was bright and well lighted from
the way that tbe windows were plac
ed. Aa soon as we set foot over the
threshold I saw Rouietabille turn pale,
and be turned to me and said: '
"Sainclair, do yoa perceive tbe per
fume of tbe Lady In Black r
I did not. I perceived nothing at all.
' Rouietabille, after having looked un
der the bed. gave tbe signal for de
parture and motioned ' aa ' from tbe
room. He lingered for a moment, but
no longer. Bernler locked tbe door
with the tiny key, which he pat In
his Inside pocket and tightly buttoned
his coat over it. We made tbe tour
of the corridors and also tbat of Old
Bob's apartment, which consisted of
a bedroom and sitting room, aa easy to
examine and as incapable of biding'
any one aa those ot the Daraacs. -
In abort and In fact, nothing: es
caped Rouietabille, and when we had
made tbe rounds of the square tower
we bad left no one behind as save M.
and Mme. Bernler. One would bare
said. too. that then could have been
no human being In the apartment of
the Darzacs before Bernler, a few min
utes later, opened the door to Daft
cac himself, as I am now about to re
late. It was almost 5 o'clock when, leav
ing Bernler in his corridor In front of
the door of the Danacs room, Rouie
tabille and myself foand ourselves
again In the court.
At that moment we climbed to tbe
platform of the ancient tower at B.
We seated vonelTes upon the parapet.
At that moment we noticed upon the
edge of the Banna Gnnde the dis
turbed and . wrathful countenance of
Old Bob. His shadow waa the only
dark thing about. By what prodigious
anachronism it was tbat this modern
scholar with his coat and bat In tha
height of fashion should be moving
about, grotesque and ghoulish, In front
of this cavern 800,000 yean old formed
by tbe ardent lava to serve as the first
roof for tbe first family In the first
Aays of the world! 'We could see him
bnndlshing his skull as he had done
at the table, and we could hear him
laugh, laugh, laugh. It tore our ean
and our hearts.
Our attention was drawn to Danae,
who waa coming through tbe postern
of the gardener. He did not see us.
He was not laughing! Rouietabille felt
the deepest pity for him, for he saw
that he was at the end of his endur
ance. In the afternoon he bad said to
my friend, who now repeated the
words to me: "Eight days Is too much!
I do not believe that I csa bear this
torment for eight days!"
We followed blm with our eyes to
the door of. the square tower. We
could see from bis looks tbat be could
endure no more. Well. M. Darsac a
little after this gave me cause to expe
rience tbe most frightful thrill of ter
ror which could freeze human bones.
Darzac went straight to tbe squan
tower, when, ot course, be found Ber
nler, wbo opened the door for him.

As ierijici' uau ucu netting couutant
guard before the door of the room, as
he bad kept the key In bis pocket and
as we bad proved by our Investigation
that tbe place was .empty when we
had left tt we had established tbe fact
that when Danae entered his roeen
then could be no one else there. ABd
tbla Is the tmth.
At the moment that we saw Danae go
V bis room we beard a clock strike 6. .
Rouietabille and I remained chatting
upon the platform of the tower B for
another hour. Suddenly ,- my friensl
struck me a little tap on. the shoul
der and exclaimed, . "For my part I
think ' And then, without complet
ing tbe sentence, be started for the
square tower. I followed him.
He thought of Men Bernler s bag of
potatoes which he emptied out on tbe
white floor of tbe room to tbe great
amazement of tbe good woman; then,
satisfied with this act, which evidently
corresponded to tbe state of bis mind,
be returned with me, while behind us
wo con id bear Fere Bernler laughing
aa he picked up the potatoes. . .
As we reached the court we aaw the'
face of Mme. Daxsacappearing for a
moment at the window of the room oc
cupied by her father on the first story
of la Louve. .
The heat had become Insupportable.
We were threatened with -a violent
atornvand we believed that It would
begin to lighten immediately and re
lieve us. , ' . .
' A few drops of water had begun to
fan.
We turned to the door of !. Da rue's
room. Bernler waa smoking his pipe
in. the Corridor, sitting astride a chair.'
"Ia M. Darzac . still then?" naked
Rouietabille. . ' .
"He haant stirred since he went in,"
Bernler replied. ; ' --.
. We knocked. We heard tbe heavy
libit dnwn from the Inside. (These
bolts can only be used by the person
within the room.) .:
Danae waa writing letters when we
entered..- He had been seated beside
a little reading table facing the doer.
Now mark well all our movements.
Aouletabnie complained that tffe let
ter which he bold la his band con
firmed the telegram which he bad re
ceived la the morning and pressed him
to return to Paris. His paper Insisted
upon his proceeding at once to Russia.
Danae read indifferently. ttm, two or
three letters which we had brought
him and put .them In his pocket. 1
now held out to Rouietabille a letter
which I had received. It was from'
my friend in Paris, who. after having
given me some important details re
garding the depart are of Brignolles.
Informed me that the latter had left
his address for mall to be forwarded
to Sospel. the Hotel des Alps. This
was extremely Interesting, and Darsac
and Rouietabille were greatly excited
over It- We decided to go to Sospel
as soon as it could be arranged, and
we went oat of the room. The door
of Mme. Darzaca sleeping room was
not closed.
" I have mentioned tbat Mme. Danae
waa not In her own room.
Then the three of as went oat of the
squan tower, leaving Pere Bernler In
his corridor like the good . watchdog
tbat he never ceased to be until tbe
last day of bis life.
It waa about half paBt 6 O'clock
when. In emerging from the square
tower, we went to pay a visit to Old
Bob In the nund tower, Rouietabille,
Darzac and I. As soon as we entered
tbe low basement Darzac uttered an
exclamation of surprise at seeing the
destruction which bad been wrought
upon a wash drawing upon which be
bad been working and which repre
sented the plan for a great scaling
ladder for tbe Fort of Hercules of the
kind which bad existed In the fifteenth
century. This drawing bad been gash
ed with a knife and paint had been
Smeared over It He endeavored In
Vain to obtain some explanation from
Oid Bob,
As Old Bob seemed to be In a churl
