HOT SOUPS FOR COOL EVENINGS CHAPTER XI*. . . —14— ; . The Balt That Lured. I went-a brag the tunnel In the direc tion of K» Vi el I Ange, picking: niy way 'very carefully, peering into the numer ous small caves antL.fissures In the wall on either htrfitL And I was about half way through when I saw a shadow running in front of me and making no sound. It was Duchalne. There could be no mistaking that tall, gaunt figure, Just risible against the distant day. I raced along the tunnel after him. But he seemed to be endowed with JJie’ speed of a' deer, for he kept his dis tance easily, and I Would never have caught him had he not Stopped for an instant at the approach of the ledge. There, Just as he was poising him self to leap, I seized him by the arm. He did not attempt violence hut gazed at me with hesitation und pa thetic doubt. "M. Duchalne,” I pleaded, ‘‘won’t you come back with me and let us talk it over? Jacqueline Is with me—” “No, ho,” he cried, laughing. ‘‘You can’t catch me with such, a trick *tfs that. My little daughter has gone to New York to make our fortunes at M. Daly’s gaming house. She will be back soon, loaded down with gold.’* "She has come back,” I answered. “She Is not fifty yards away.” “With gold?” he inquired, looking at me doubtfully. “With gold.” I answered, trying to allure his Imagination as Leroux had done. “She'has rich gold, red gold, such as you wlll love. You can take up the coins In your fingers and let the gold stream slip through^ them. Come with, monsieur.” I grasped h!in by the arm and tried to lead him with me. My argument had moved him. I thought I hud’Wyn: But Just as I started hack Into the tunnel, holding the arm of the old man, who lingered reluctantly and yet began to yield, a pebble leaped from the rocky platform ami rebounded from the cliff. I fast a backward glance, and there upon the opposite aids I saw Leroux, st» nding. “Bonjour, M. Hewlett ! ,f he called across the chasm. “Don’t he afraid of me any more than I am afraid of you. Just wait a moment. I want to talk business.” “I have no business to tulk with, you,” I answered. “But I did not say It was with you. monsieur.” he answered lie sheering tones. "It Is with our friend Duchalne. Hola,. Duchalne!” At the sound ,Qf Leroux’s voice, the old man straightened himself and be gan muttering and looking from the one to the other of us undecidedly. Suddenly I saw hjm turn Ills head and fix his eyes upou Leroux. - He craned -Ids neck forward; nnd then, very slowly, he began to wnlk toward his persecutor. I craned my neck. Leroux was holding out—the rou lette wheel! . * “Come along, Charles, mv friend,” he cried. “Come, let rs try our for tunes! Don’t you want to stake some money upon your system against me?” The, old figure had leaped forward over the ledge, amj In a moment Le roux hud grasped him und pulled him Into the tunnel. 1 I hastened buck to Jacqueline nnd -encountered her in the passage Just where the light apd darkness blond'otC standing- with " arms stretched . out against the wall to steady herself; and In her eyes was that look which -tells a man more surely than anything, I think, can, that a woman loves him. “Oh, I thought you were dead !” she sobbed, and fell Into my arms. I held her tightly t > support her, and I led her back to the gold cave. In a few words I explained what had occurred. ^ ♦‘Now Jacqueline, yon must let me guide you,” I said. “Don’t ybu see that there is no chance for us unless we leave your father for the present where,he ,s and make o‘ar owm escape? We can reach Pere Antoine’s cabin soon after midday, and we can tell him your father Is a prisoner here. He would not come with us, Jacqueline, even If he were here.” She did not respond. It was the safety of us two and her father’s life assured, against a miserable* fate for her, and I knew not iyhat for me, though I thought Lercux would give ine little shrift once I was In his power again. - w She was so silent that I thought I had convinced her. I urged her to her feet But suddenly I heard a stealthy footfall close at hand, between the »ve nnd the cataract. I thought it was Charles Duchalne. I hoped it was Leroux. I placed my (Lager on Jacqueline’s Ups and crept •tealthlly to tha passage, revolver in hand. Then, In the gloom,, 1 saw the villain ous face of Jean Petifjean looking into mine, twelve pares away, and In his hand was a revolver too. We fired together. But the surprise •polled his aim, for his bullet whis tled past me. I think my shot struck him somewhere, for he uttered s yell •«*4 b'tgan running back along the as hard as be coaid. . Copyright.

And then, just as I approached the barricade of earth-filled 'bags Leroux and the man Raoul emerged from the tunnel’s mouth, and ran toward me. I stopped behind the barricade.- Presently I saw something white fluttering from the tunnel. It was a white handkerchief upon a stick of wood. Then Leroux’s voice hailed me from the tunmet; "V “Hewlett!’’ he called, and tl}ere was no traee af mockery in his tones now, “will you come out and talk with me? Will you meet me In the open, If you prefer?” I fired one shot In futile rage. It struck the cliff and sent a stone flying into the streanu Then silence followed. And I took Jacqueline and carried her back Into the little hollow’ space. I put my hand upon her breast. 1 It stirred. She breathed faintly, though she .showed no sign of con sciousness.,; Heaven knows what was In my mind. I stood beneath that awful cat aract firing at tjie blind rock. jtnd now I was back behind the „earth-bags shooting i^o the tunnel. So the afternoon wxTre away. The sun had sunk behind the cliffs. I,had fired away all but six of my cartridges 3 folly before came home to me. I grew more calm.' . ; ' I felt ray way around the cave with the faint -hope that there might be some other egress there. - There was none, hut I made out a recess which I had not perceived, about' one-haIf as large as the cave Itself, and opening Tnto It hy a small passage Just large enough to give ad mittance to a single person. ■ Here I should have only tlfie front to defend. So f carried Jacqueline inside and “So you will go to Leroux,” she added presently. “Is that your will, Jacqtfeline?” “Yes, dear,” she said.

For, now c that Jncqueljne lay there so weak, so help less, nnd thinking all our past was but a dreajn, there was nothing but to yield. I could not tight any more. So I left her and climbed cross the bags nnd went down toward ths stream.

Dlahle show me!” “IIow?” I answered, startled. “All finish,” said Pierre inexorably and,.gs Dwatched him a superstitious fear crept over me. He, who had cringed, even when he gave the com mand,-- now cringed no lopger, and there was a look In his old face that I had only seen on one man’s before— on my father’s the night he died. “Pierre, where is Leroux?” J whis pered. “Shall I surrender to him or shall I fight?” “No matter,” he said once again.
