"It doesn't matter how I learnt what I know," said the latter, in a peremptory tone. "Let us stick to the point. It's lucky you have brought this carte-de-visite; it will enable you to assure yourself, before going to the Court-house, that you are not being fooled. Ridge that you have found a pocket-book with that photograph in it, and ask him if he can help you to identify the person.
Maidie, look here. Captain Kress handed this to me said they picked it up just back of where the colonel stood at parade. Is he another mash?" Marion took the envelope from the outstretched hand, drew forth a little carte-de-visite, on which was the vignette portrait of her own face, gave one quick glance, and dropped back on the pillow. All the bright color fled. The picture fell to the floor.
The two are not on very good terms, naturally." "Quite naturally," dryly. "But you can't get away from the Calabrian's beauty," generously. "No." The bearded man extinguished his cigarette and rose, laying a carte-de-visite on the tabouret. "More, I should not care to get away from it. Good evening," pleasantly. The music stopped. He passed on into the crowd.
Once more he whirled about, his heart throbbing with anxiety. Once more he would have hurried on his way to the Calle San Luis. A fire there! and she, Marion, still so weak! exhausted, possibly, by the excitement or distress or whatever it was that resulted from Brent's sudden presentation of that carte-de-visite. He would fly to her at once!
It was not the knave of hearts, but the queen of spades, and over it had been pasted a small carte-de-visite photograph that of a man dressed in the coarse uniform of one of the Russian penal settlements. With lightning swiftness Indiman leaned forward and twitched the wig from L. Hernandez's head; the man himself sat there before our eyes.
Then, again returning to the safe, he took out a large packet of miscellaneous photographs of various persons secured by an elastic band. These he went rapidly through until he held one in his hand, an unmounted carte-de-visite, which he examined closely beneath the green-shaded reading-lamp.
Excep' my father; he was fo'teen year' to her seven." "Was she a handsome child?" Chester ventured. "I think no. But in growing up she bic-came" the craftsman handed out a pocket flash-light and an old carte-de-visite photograph of a black-haired, black-eyed girl of twenty or possibly twenty-three years. "You shall tell me," he said: "And you'll trust me, my sincerity?"
She opened a cupboard door as she spoke, and presently came back to Mollie's side with an arm-load of photograph- albums, the kind of albums to be found in country houses, filled with carte-de-visite photographs of old-fashioned people, all standing, apparently, in the same studio, and each resting one hand on the same marble pillar.
To look on something besides a portrait that hung upon the wall, underneath her own. It was a small thing a mere photographic carte-de-visite. But it was the likeness of one who had a large place in her brother's heart, if not in her own. In hers, how could it? It was the photograph of a man she had never seen Frank Hamersley.
Among "Billy Benton's" few effects no letters, no such picture, had been found, nothing, in fact, to connect him with Foster. Colonel Brent knew what had become of the carte-de-visite, but how happened it in other hands than those of Benton? That too was not long to be a mystery.
