“Oh, is some one to bring you an answer? ’
“Yes.”
“Who?”
“You, monsieur le secretaire-general.”
Prasville shook his head:
“You must not count on me, M. Nicole.”
“Which proves that you consider me,
Arsene Lupin—we may as well use the name;
yes, Arsene Lupin—which proves that you
consider me fool enough, dolt enough to

“ Is that all? ”
“That’s all. I have come to the conclu-

of last night, it is impossible to try to do
anything in Gilbert’s favor. Besides, an at-

“What for?”
“So that I may apply to another spokes

“What’s the good? Gilbert is lost.”
“Not at all, not at all. On the contrary,
I consider that, after last night’s events,

“What I can do?” echoed M. Nicole,!

“Yes! The talisman no longer protects

M. Nicole shrugged his shoulders and
gave Prasville a look of great commisera
tion.
“Shall I tell you what is happening,mon
sieur le secretaire-general? Well, you too
are having your head turned by all this
business. Now that you possess the list,
your state of mind has suddenly sunk to
that of a DaUbrecq or a d’Albufex. There
is no longer even a question, in your thoughts,
now that his accomplice is dead, it will be of taking it to your superiors, so that this
much easier to grant him a pardon which
everybody will look upon as fair and hu

“ No.”
“Upon my word, monsieur, you have a
short memory and none too nice a con
science. Have you forgotten your promise
of yesterday?”
“Yesterday, I made a promise to a M.
Nicole.”
“Well?”
“You are not M. Nicole.”
“Indeed! Then, pray, who am 1?”
“Need I tell you?”
M. Nicole made no reply, but began to
laugh softly, as though pleased at the curious
turn which the conversation was taking;
and Prasville felt a vague misgiving at ob
serving that fit of merriment. He grasped
the butt-end of his revolver and wondered
whether he ought not to ring for help.
M. Nicole drew his chair close to the desk,
put his two elbows on the table, looked
Prasville straight in the face and jeered:
So, M. Prasville, you know who I am
and you have the assurance to play this
game with me?”
“I have that assurance,” said Prasville,
accepting the sneer without flinching.
ferment of disgrace and discord may be
ended. No, no, a sudden temptation has
seized upon you and intoxicated you; and,
losing your head, you say to yourself, ‘It
is here, in my pocket. With its aid, I am
omnipotent. It means wealth, absolute,
unbounded power. Why not benefit by it?
Why not let Gilbert and Clarisse Mergv
die? Why not lock up that idiot of a Lupin?
Why not seize this unparalleled chance of
fortune by the forelock?”
I le bent toward Prasville and, very softly,
in a friendly and confidential tone, said:
“Don’t do that, my dear sir, don’t do it./’
“And why not?”
“It is not to your interest, believe me.”
“ Really!”
“ No. Or, if you absolutely insist on doing 1
it, have the kindness first to consult the j
twenty-seven names on the list which you j
have just robbed me of and reflect, for a 1
moment, on the name of the third person

“Oh? And what is the name of that
third person?”
“It is the name of a friend of yours.”
“What friend?”
