German or Russian, welf dressed and well bred. arrived the day before yes terday at tho Hotel des Trots Couron nes. They keep most retired, and only go out In a covered carriage, to the convent of the Beguines. The younger lady weeps a good deal, and often mentions the word 'father* with emotion. They have told their land lord that they await the coming of the young lady's father." "This sounds more promising," cried Glynn, all eager attention. "Were M. Lambert here he might take the Journey to Bruges, and Identify them. Probably he Is the father they expect." "I wish he were here, but, in his absence, I will undertake the Jour ney: I can Identify Miss Lambert." "Do you think her fath~r will thank you?" *1 do. C?n you doubt his agonis ing Impatience until he can get tid ings of .his daughter?" "No: but there is something In affair I cannot quite fathom." There was a pause. "I suppose," resumed Glynn, "there is- no objec tion to mv visiting the ladles your agent describes?" "None; in the absence of the father." "Then I shall start at once. Give me a line of Introduction to your representative. I shall telegraph to you the result of my Journey. No doubt you will see M. Lambert back to-morrow." M. Claude wrote the desired let ter, and armed with It, Glynn left the bureau. A rapid Journey followed, a Jour ney such as men make in bad dreams, with a curious sense of acting under some hideous malignant influence, a depressing anticipation of coming failure. Often in after-life the mem ory of that Journey came back as the most painful experience of all he had ever known for years ? it haunted him with thrills of horror. Little he heeded the quaint aspects of the old mediaeval town, though the picture of the streets through which he was conducted to the Hotel des Trols Couronnes remained forever stamped upon his memory. His anticipations were fulfilled. The ladies were both total strangers to him; he had therefore nothing for it but to apologizo and retire. Back in Paris, where Lambert had not yet returned, and M. Claude re ceived him with cold displeasure. M. Claude was growing impatient at the unwonted failure of his emissaries. It was now six days since the disap pearance of Miss Lambert, and not the faintest clue had been found by which to trace her. The keen-eyed chef de la sureto threw into the pursuit with all the energy of his nature all the profes ? slonal pride that a high reputation could Inspire. There was not a town of any Importance in Europe where his researches did not penetrate, and yet the days rolled on. and not a trace was to be found of the missing girl. To Glynn the terrible darkness, which seemed closing In deeper and deeper with each succeeding day over the. fate of the fair girl he had learned to love so passionately, was appalling. He chafed against his own hopelessness, he exhausted himself in conjectures and restless going to and fro. When Lambert came back from his fruitless Journey to Marseilles, he seemed sunk in a strange, sullen apathy, nor did he accept Glynn's well-meant efforts to comfort and sustuin him with cordiality. "I do not know where I mny have to go, or what I may have to do," he said to Glynn. "I'll hang on here till my time Is up, and then I'll take a room somewhere and just wait. You are very good. Glynn; you could have done no more If you had been my poor darling's afflancod lover. I lit tle knew you were a rich man, and partner In a great firm when I offered you her poor little portion." "Do not speak of It," said Glynn, with Inexpressible emotion; "but treat me as a trusted friend. Tell me what conjectures you have formed aa to her fate." "I believe she Is dead," said Lam bert In a broken voice and covering his face. "Had she been in life she would have managed to communicate with me. Now 1 have nothing left to live for but revenge." "Have you any Idea where to di rect your vengeance?" "I cannot answer yes or no yet, though If I'd answer any one It would be you, Glynn." "That means 'Yes,' " returned Glynu. I..aml>ert did not reply. He seemed sunk in gloomy, hard resignation to a detested destiny. "You shouldn't wait on here, Glynn," he resumed, after a minute's silence. "You cau do no good? as they didn't find her within the llrst week it will Just be a waiting gauie. We'll hit on the truth Just by accident, that will be the way of It. But Glynn ro-ild not tenr himself from I'arls. How often he recalled the circumstances under which he had uttered these words to Elsie; they were aluiOKt the last he ha,J spoken to her. lie could almost heaf ? he sort, tremulous tones In which she promised to listen to his reasons for not being able to tear himself away. No, It was Impossible that she could have had the smallest anticipation of the dreadful catastrophe which awaited her. Yet her very last word* ? her last look haunted him. The questioning, wondering glance, the half whisper ? "you puzzle me!" Twice during this miserable period of indecision Glynn encountered Vin cent ? once on the stair leading to Lambert's abode, and once In the Boulevard*. In the first Instance he greeted Glynn with the frankest expression of sorrow and sympathy (or the great misfortune which had befallen Lam bert, mentioning his own deep grief, and his compassionate forgiveness ot L4mbert's Injurious accusations against himself. Glynn found Lambert in a state of furious excitement after this visit, and uttering violent half-unintelli gible threats against Vincent. On their Becond meeting Glynn tried to pass him. but in vain, and was obliged to listen to a string of suggestions and conjectures respect ing the supposed fugitive which near ly drove him to throttle his interlo cutor and fling him into, the street under the hoofs of the passing horses, especially as he felt that Vincent's small, penetrating, watchful eyes were intently, searchingly fixed on his face while he spoke. At length letters from his partners obliged him to quit the scene of so much suffering and disaster. It was with the deepest reluctance that Glynn bid Lambert good-bye. The unhappy father ?HH wore the same aspect of helplesness. of sullen submission to the irrestlstlble. He scarcely heeded Glynn's announce ment of his immediate departure, and merely answered his ardent request for the earliest information respect ing any crumbs of intelligence in the affirmative. He put Glynn's card in his pocketbook mechanically. Yet he wrung his hand hard at parting, and bid God bless him, brokenly ? yet heartily. Glynn, not satisfied with Lambert'a promise, obtained an Interview with M. Claude, who was even more curt and Immovable than ever. He. how ever, condescended to promise that he would not fail to let him know should any trace of the missing girl be found. The second day after he had re sumed his attendance at the office he found himself too faint and dizzy to continue the writing on which he was engaged. His head ached Intensely, his pulses throbbed. He rang, and began to explain to the clerk who answered his sumomns that he felt so ill he must return home; but before he could finish his sentence he fell heavily at the feet of his startled hearer. He was conveyed carefully to his own residence, which he did not leave for many weeks ? not till he had been brought to the verge of the grave by a fierce t>raln fever. CHAPTER VII. Wlll-o-'-the-Wisp. A new year was opening on the just and unjust ? the fortunate and the unfortunate. Lady Gethln had arrived in town after a prolonged Christmas visit to some attentive rela tives In one of the midland countries. It was the day after her return. She was thinking, with an unusually softened expression on her strong face, of her favorite. Hugh Glynn. She had been intensely anxious about him during his severe illness. She had constantly visited his sickroom, and satisfied herself that nurses and servants were doing their duty. When his life was despaired of, she was grimly still, silent, and enduring, but she knew that all the woman In her somewhat masculine nature had gone out, in maternal affection, to her husband's nephew. When ho was slowly struggling back to life and strength she accom panied him to a south coast bathing place, and gave him the great benefit of her companionship, for she knew how to be sympathetically silent, as well, as congenially talkative. In this prolonged tetc-a-tete Glynn grew sincerely and gratefully attached to the outspoken, free-thinking old woman. Attachment brought confidence, and before they parted Hugh Glynn had told her the strange history of his sudden love for Elsie Lambert, of the hold it had taken of him in spite of reason, prudence, worldly wisdom ? every motive that ought to guide a man of his maturity and experience. He even confessed to the weakness of regretting he had rejected Lam bert's proposal of marriage with his daughter. In the story of Elsie's disappear ance Lady Gethin was profoundly in terested, though to Glynn's disap pointment and indignation, she did not hesitate to declare her belief that the young lady eloped voluntarily and had probably since informed her father of her whereabouts ? a fact he might think It wiser not to divulge. Reviewing these conversations. Lady Gethin sat forgetful of her book, whon the objoct of her thought* was announced. "Why didn't you come to dinner?" she exclaimed, holding out her hand. "Because I have been dining ear lier than usual at the house of a cousin of mine in the suburbs, where I have been officiating as godfather to his first-born son." "A very patriarchal proceeding. Who Is this cousin ? do f know hjm?" "I think not; he Is a cousin on my mother's side, i'.nd has a cure of souls at Clapham." "Well, Hugh, and how nro you? You look better and stronger." "I am! 1 have turned the corner and am beginning to pull mechani cally against the collar once more." Lady Gethin looked earnestly at hltn. Ho seemed taller than ever ? gaunt and bony. His dark face was very colorless, his eyes sunken; yet his attitude and air had less of lassi tude than when they had parted la*?t. "You have been across the Chan nel?" "Yes; 1 ran over to Paris for a lit tle change, Just before Christina*. Paris drafts r.ie like a maguat." "Beautiful an mr; fett.tUr* la alechief la the air. Howmr, I aa to prophet. I wandered about the >M eeeaee like a troubled ghost, and ( saw Lambert." "Indeed! I wish. Hash, you would ?reak away from all the painful nego tiations with that man; you caa do ilm no good." "True; but I hare the moet pro found pity (or him, all the more tbat lie seems by no means glad to eee me. I fancy hie terrible misfortune las affected his brain. He le sullen, ind averse to speak of anything that leads up to the subject of his lost laughter, and yet ne looks in sur prisingly good health." I "He has not had a brain fever, "J I laid Lady Gethin, slgnflcantly. "I luppose no trace whatever has been liscovered?" "Not the faintest. I succeeded In obtaining an Interview with M. Claude, who reluctantly admitted :liat the French police have rarely ocen so baffled." "It is a most extraordinary case," laid Lady Gethin, and then hastened :o change the subject. "I have had rather a pleasant time of It at the Klngsfords'. I went down the day before Christmas and only returned yesterday. The Deerlngs put up there !or two nights on their way to Lord Arthur Savllle's. Lady Frances was looking a little more alive; and real ty Deering can be very agreeable." "He is, I suspect, a tremendously white-washed sepulchre." "I cannot understand your sus picions of Deering," returned Lady Gethin; "as to his being mixed up with the Lambert affair, it is mere nonsense. What on earth could he have to do with such a man as you. lescribe Lambert? He might have met him in a train, or on a steam boat, or a horse race, but it is impos sible he could have known much of him." "He did, however, I am certain." said Glynn, slowly and thoughtfully; "and you would agree with me had you seen them together. There was deadly enmity as well as acquaint anceship between them." "Well, perhaps so," she returned. 'Will you have a cup of coffee. Hugh? It will rouse you, you look sleepy and distrait." "Thank you; a cup of your coffee will do me good." Lady Gethin rang and ordered some to bo brought, talking cheerful ly on a variety of subjects. But Glynn's attention wandered while he lipped the refreshing beverage, and as he put down his cup Lady Gethin exclaimed, "I don't think J'ou have heard a word I have been saying!" "Yes," he exclaimed, starting from his thoughts, "I have heard, but, I confess, not taken In the sense of what you have been saying. I am perhaps foolishly excited by an Inci dent which occurred to-dav, and as you are tolerably acquainted with all my weakness you may as well hear this instance too. I was, as I told you, at Clapham to-day; after the christening of my little godson we re turned to luncheon at Heathcote's? at my cousin's house, and when the other guests had left he asked me to smoke a cigar with him in the garden. As we talked and walked up and down beside a railing and hedge of holly, which separates Heathcote's garden from the noxt, I heard some one speaking at the other Bide, and as I listened I could have aworn that the voice was Elsie Lam bert's. It was soft and low, yet won dorfully distinct; then a highly pitched woman's voice declared in French that she feared some task would be difficult. Again the voice that made my heart stand still said, 'Difficult, but not insurmountable; kindness and steadiness will over come so much; 1 would trust them too' ? Then I ceased to catch the words, though the well known tones came to me again, ns the speakers ovldently turned away. Great heav ens! I hear It still. It was Elsie's voice! I lost my head for a moment; I rushed to the railing, and thrusting my arms beneath them, tried to tear away some of the branch to look through. My cousin thought I had lost my senses, and begged for an explanation. I told him I felt certain that a lady I had been seeking in every direction was at the other side of the hedge. He said the adjoining grounds belonged to a ladles' school, and I asked him to accompany me to the house, and back mo up In my in quiries, as he was known to the own er and the teachcrs. At last he con sented. The parloylng occupied some time, then we had a walk round by a road which ran the length of the two gardens, to turn again on reach ing the common, and go a little way back to the gate of Montperler House; altogether twenty minutes must have elapsed from tho time I first heard the voice before I rang the bell at Mrs. Storrer's. As we ap proached a cab was driving away. On asking for the head of the establish ment, we were informed that no one was at home but the head governess and tho French teacher. Heathcote sent up his card and begged to bo allowed to speak to one or both of tho ladlcp." To bo Continued, Thaw to Stay in Jail. New York. Special. ? Ilnrry K.
