[ THE RED CHANCELLOR. I A ROMANCE, By SIR WILLIAM MAGNAY, Bart., Author of The Heiress of the Season," "The Man-Trap," I The Pride of Life," dc. I CHAPTER XXXII ,-Continued Asta at Last. "Thai the fan would fall at the feet of one who would gladly give his life even in the most impossible attempt to save you," I in- terrupted vehemently. "Fraulein, I entreat you, do not give yourself up for lost while there is a beat left in my heart I or your own. Mine is the worthless, life, not yours. Let me give it for you if I need be; nay, I must, whether you will or not. If only time be yet on our side! Let me not waste it now. What we have to do is to remove these bars, and then the rest should be easy. I struck a light and examined the extremi- ties of the irons which crossed the window. They were simply secured to the sides by heavy screws; nothing but a wrench would be needed to remove them. So that was hope- ful enough. I told the prisoner, who had been on guard at the door, how easy her escape should be. But there was much to think of and plan before the attempt could be made. For if it failed her death would be logically certain. She saw that. "As it is it may be too late," she said. "I am dead already to every one but these people and you." She made a little despairing grimace; her natural liveliness still fliakered, though nearly quenched by those gloomy and terrifying surroundings. "You are very much alive to me, Fraulein," I returned warmly; "and by the help of Prb- vidence shall be eo soon to the rest of the world. But premature action would be fatal. You must make up your mind to another four-and-twenty hours in this place." "If I dared hope-for twenty-four seconds "You must call cunning to our aid. To I bridge over the time in safety between now and freedom, life "Ah!" she cried. "Herr Tyrrell, don't make me hope. It is cruel." "Indeed, no, if we walk warily. You must temporise with the Count. Appear inclined to relent. I can leave that to your wit. Only keep things as they are till to-morrow even- ing, when I will return, not to leave without you. Now, I hate to go, Fraulein, but the risk to you in staying is too great. Keep a good heart; above all, do not let any one see that you have hope, and trust me." She gave me the sweetest little nod of courage and thanks and stretched her hand through the bars. As I kissed it I felt I could never let it go. But prudence re-asserted it- self, and we parted. I had little difficulty in finding my way back through the subterranean passage. The horrors of the place, its murkiness, the drip- ping roofs and walls, the dark, unwholesome atmosphere were as nothing to me now. The vile way led from darkness to light; and by the time I had traversed it and reached the entrance and the open air my plans for the morrow's attempt were formed. CHAPTER XXXIII. I An Ominous Visit, I At the inn Strode waa waiting for me in some impatience, if not alarm, fearing foul play from the delay of my return. After dinner we lit our cigars and strolled out, Then I told him the whole story, which indoors I had dared only hint at. I should have t&ken him into my confidence anyhow, situated as I waa, and feeling quite certain of his staunch- ness and grit; but, beyond that, I had come to the conclusion that his help would be absolutely necessary in the next night's most hazardous undertaking. This he readily promised, as I felt sure he would, and even with more alacrity than could have bees counted on. '"I shall simply revel in being your com- rade in this affair, or humble servant, if yon like," he said heartily. "I'm sick of hanging and mooning a.bout, taking pot-shots at birds and vermin, with an occasional wink at a stupid grinning peasant girl. Ah, my dear fellow, I've been in the swim, and know what it is; slow enough, Heaven knows, at the best; I va gone under through my own folly, and if you knew what the feeling ÙI, the sense of failure and degradation, you wouldn't wonder that the excitement of a business like this is like brandy to a knocked-out man. I was thinking rd have soon to get up shine on my own account, bat this will suit me far 'better; we have the merit of a decent action a.t our backs and are not a pair of idiots join- ing in a. scrimma,ge out of sheer devilry. Why, hang it! man, there's a toudh of the old- time chivalry sibout the racket, with brain- work thrown in. Yes; I'm your man, to see you through this little frolic, amd be thankful for the chance." We talked over the plan I had laid and the nooessaxy preparations. The delay kept me in a disagreeable state of chafing and sus- pense, but we both voted it to be unavoidable. To have any chance of success, the attempt had to be made by night, and itiuut night it was impracticable. Our walk had taken us near the entrance to the tunnel. "I don't know what it is," I said, -but now the way is found, I feel I cannot keep from that poor girl's prison." "You are going through?" Strode asked. "Will you let me oome with you? I may as well get the hang of the plaoe." With the half-formed intention, I had pro- vided myself with a supply of light. We let ourselves down into the passage and set forward towards the Monastery, scarcely pur- posing, perhaps, to reach the other end- But we groped on and on. Strode often making me smile by his characteristic comments and ejaculations. Neither of us suggested turn- ing back, until some twenty minutes' uneasy progress brought us to the steps leading to the trap door. Here we stayed awhile. "So we are actually within the walls of that cursed den of iniquity, are we?" Strode observed. tf Look here! We've got our revol- vers; I'm game, if you are, to carry the place by surprise and hurry these hellish Johnnies to the warm quarters that are waiting for them." I knew that was sheer madnees, so checked his ardour. At the same time, however, this dare-devil ally of mine gave me a very pleasant feeling of confidence. "Before we return," I said, I have a good mind to run up and see that all is yet well. It is worth while as we are so near. Strode laughed and nodded sagaciously. "All right, ipein Herr. Can't say I see the utility of the move since you don't fall in with my suggestion, but then probaly uti- lity is not altogether your motive. I'll wait for you here. Don't make a fool of yourself, that's all." I was already up the steps, and in a few seconds had passed through the trap-door, It was pitch dark, but the way was famflist now, and I found the passage without diffi- culty. If I expected to see the light at the farther end I was disappointed; all was dark. I gropped my way along on tip-toe till the wall against my hand came to an end at the en- trance of the room into which the prison win- ded looked. All was dark here too. I crept to the window, but could see nothing, hear nothing. If there had been a light in the room some in- dication would have been visible, even though the curtain were carefully drawn across the window. No. I was satisfied that the room was in darkness. And yet it was almost too early for the prisoner to have retired for the night. The darkness and silence might mean noth- ing, and yet they filled me with a horribly uncomfortable surmise. I stood for a while in a state of indecision. But I could not bring myself to turn back in that spirit of uncer- tainty. I was committed to the business, my whole heart and soul were in it now, and the risk was nothing to me. The idea that I had that afternoon perhaps missed a chance. even if ever so desperate, of rescuing the prisoner maddened me. Of course, all might be well and my anxiety groundless, but look- ing at the situation as calmly as I could, it was impossible, knewing Furello and his creatures, not to fear. With no exact purpose except to look about for what chance might show me, I made my way from the room and proceeded to explore the long passage further. It was an utterly rash and foolish move, but the impulse was strong upon me, and the very stillness of the place led me on. I ventured now to strike light which showed me a distant door, towards which I hastened. Contrary to my expectation it was unlocked. I passed through it quietly; still all was darkness, and the same oppressive silence. Another lighted match showed me I was in a large basement room with a flagged floor, green with disuse. A door was opposite; I crossed and opened it. Darkness still. But another match revealed a night of steps. I orept up and passed through yet another door. Then, by the aid of my light, I reoognised my where- abouts. I was in a kind of inner couit-yaixl on which I had lighted in my search the night before. To find my way to the grvofe hall was now an easy matter, though risky enough. Arrived there, I stood awhile and listened. The same death-like stillness pervaded that place. What light from without penetrated through the high. dark coloured windows was just enough to show me indistinctly the objects around. I "took out my revolver and crept tq the stain, then gnddtuly I stopped, bpwbw voices. Men's voices, indistinct, and at some distance. I turned aside, drawing stealthily, yard by yard, nearer to the sound, IdMed not waste time, fearing what rash thing Strode might do if I stayed too long. The hangings on the wall helped me now as they had done before; a man could, with care, move alone behind them without much fear of detection* A liuie farther on I seemed quite close to tkw voices, and reoognised the Count's; but the direction from which it came puzzled me, until I discovered a kind of grating or loop- hole in the doar of the room from which the sound proceeded. I was preparing to look through, when suddenly I started, thunder- struck. The Count's voioe had ceased and another replied, a voice I knew at once, the most dreaded in that kingdom—Rallenstein's. As I recovered from the momentary shock of something more than surprise. I looked through the grating. Yes; there he was, the terrible Chancellor, sitting back in a great! easy chair, at his side a small table with wine and fruit, and before Mm Furello, standing with hands clasped behind him. the fingers, aa I noticed, for his back was towards me, work- ing as with passion or strong excitement If the Count's face (which I could not me9 was ruffled, the Chancellor's was eA impassive and inscrutable as ever. "You will hardly persuade me, my dear OounJt," he was saying in that emooth masked voice which I knew so well, "that you have blundered through stupidity. You are no fool-or you would not be here—at all." The sinister significance with which he spoke the last worda was indescribable. "And," he went on, "I tell yon. frankly. I am far from satis- fied." Furello drew himself up and spoke more quietly now. "In matters of this sort at least I am not fool enough to look for explicit instructions.

SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR "An' boo's the guid wife. Sandy?" said one farmer to another as they met in the maz,- ket-plaee and exchanged snuff-boxes. "Did ye no hear that she's dead and buried?" said Sandy solemnly. "Dear me!" exclaimed his friend sympa- thetically. "Surely it must have been very sudden?" "Oo, aye, it was sudden," returned Sandy.
