I threw' the car tridge's upon tji«- floor. It seemed only a few minutes before a voice bailed me frqm the tunnel. * “Paul Hewlett,” snbl T.ornUx, “you have made n good fight,-hut you are done for.

But we must be very gentle In moving her. You had better bring the sleigh here, and you and I will lift her Into It. And then—I shall not 6t*e hor again.” was that of a hopeless man who kno.ws that everything he had prized Is lost.

I saw the bodies glide down the straight Jet of water, as a boy might slide down -a column of steel, nnd plunge Into the black caldron beneath, around whose edge stood the mocking and fantastic figures of ice.

CHAPTER XX. Leroux’s Diable. I went back toward the cave. But I cpuld not bring myself to see Jacque line. I had reached the verge of the cata ract and stood beside the little plat form, looking down. I gazed In awe at the great stream of water, sending its ceaseless .current down Into the troubled lake below. And then I saw Lacroix. Ho was peering after me from among the rocks, and qs I turned he was scut tling away into the tuiinel. I followed him hotly; but he must have known every fissure in the cliff, for he vanished before my eyes, appar ently through the solid rock, and when I reached the place of his disappear* ance I could find no sign of any pas sage there. And at that moment I heard .Le roux’s voire hailing* me, tuid round tft'see him emerge from the tun nel at my side. He was staring In be wilderment at the cataract. “By Heaven, Hewlett, I don’t know what possessed me to take .tin* wrong turn tonight,” he swore, “I have coinc through that..tunned u hundred, times and never missed the path, before.'’ He swung round petulantly, and at that nvoment a shadow glided out of the darkness and stood in frontnT him. It watt PierrO Curibou, lean^rslnewy and old. lie blocked the' path and jt faced Leroux In silence. • Leroux looked ut him, and an oath broke from his lips as he read the other's purpose upon hiS fact*. Squar- infr. his mighty shoulders and clench ing hl$ fists, he leaped at him head long. - ’ , * Pierre stepped quietly aside, and Bimon measured his full length within the tunnel. But, when he had.scram bled to his feet with a bellowing chal lenge, V«erre wus yin front uf him again. “What are you here for?”* roared Leroux, but in a quavering voice that, did not sound like ids own, “Get ,o,ut. .vSfTlrff way or I’ll smash your face’” ’ The Indian still blocked the passi^gp. “Your time come now, Simon. All fin ish now,” he Hnswered. “You come her# one, two year ago,” Pierre continued. “You eat up home ef M. Duchalne, my roaster. OW M. Ducbalne my master, too, I belong here. You eat up nil, coine back, eat up some more. Then you sell Mile. Jacqueline to Lou# d’Epernay. You Faced Leroux jn Silehce. made her run ‘way to New York. I ask your dlnhle when your time come.

And still the cataracts played on, sounding their loud, triumphant, riever-ending tune. I was rumdufrdpwn the tunnel again. I was running to ’Jacqueline, but something diverted, me. It was the face of Lacrpix, peering at me frofn among the crevices of the rocks with the'same evrf'snUle. I knew from the look on it that he had seen all and had been infinitely pleased thereby. I Caught at hlra^I panted to get my hands oh hlnr'ftnd strangle him, loo, and fling him dow# and stamp his features out of human semblance. But he .eluded me nnd' darted back into the cliff. * I caught him near the entrahee arid held him fast. - j * . .He struggled In my graap and sidrou thed. “Ia*t me go!” h(^ TiowJ^d. “Ahy^rfAi 'C!!l repent it! ~Mnnsicur, let me go!

I want to tell her—to tell her—” He muttered In his delirium until his voice died away. I thought that he would never speak again. But present ly he seemed to revive '-again to the •consciousness ojf his surroundings. “Are- you .alth me, Hewlett?*’ he whispered. I placed my hand In Ids. and he clutched at It with' feverish force. “You will have the gold, Hewlett,* he muttered, apparently, ignorant that I, too, was a prisoner and in hardlj better plight. “I tried to kill you, Hew lett. .Are you going to leave me to die alone In the (lark now?” “No,” I answered. “Ijt doesn’t mat ter, Lacroix.”" And. really, it did not matter. ’ “I wanted to kill you,” his voice rambled on. “Lacroix Is dead. 1 watched him die. I thought If—you died, too, no one hut I would know tin secret of the gold. I tried to murdei you. I blew up'the tunnel!” .He paused, itnd I heard him gasp for breafh. His fingers clutched at my coat sleeve again and hooped them selves round mine like claws of steel. “I had a knife—once.” he resumed relapsing Into his delirium; “but I left it * behind, cue And the pqJLicc /got It Isn't it odd, Leroux.” he rambled on. “that one always leaves something be hind when one has killed a man? But the newspapers made no mention about the knife. You didn’t know he wns dead, did you, Leroux, for all your cleverness, until that fool Hewlett left that paper upon the table? You knew enough to send me to jail, but you didn’t know that it was I Who killed him. Help me!” He screamed hor * ribly. “He Is here, Iooking'ut tfie K ‘fThefe Is nobody here, Philippe,” I said, trying to soothe his' agony of soul. What a (poor and stained soul it was, traveling, into the mext world alone! “There is nobody but me, Phil ippe!” “You lie!” he raved. “Louis is hera! He has come for me! He deserved U die. He tricked roe after we had found the gold. He tricked me twice. He told Leronx, ,thinking that he would win his gratitude and get free from the man’s power. And the second time he told Corson.
