Marmette, the subagent, would know of the incident between Junia and Luzanne; and he feared. Barouche might start for the station, overtake Luzanne and prevent her leaving. He drew close and kept his ears open. He was fortunate, he heard voices; Marmette was explaining to Barouche that Junia and Luzanne had gone to the station, as "Ma'm'selle" was bound for New York.
He says he didn't know it was a real marriage, and " Luzanne then related Carnac's defence, and added: "Do you think anyone would believe him with the facts as they are? Remember I'm French and he's English, and that marriage to a French girl is life and death; and this is a French province!" "And yet you are a Catholic and French, and were married by a Protestant judge."
She knew she must give account of her doings with Luzanne Larue. A few moments later in the house, her hand lay in that of Carnac, and his eyes met hers. "It's all come our way, Junia," he remarked gaily, though there was sadness in his tone. "It's as you wanted it. You won." "Thanks to you, Junia," and he took from his pocket the blue certificate.

She would soon know, and she gave her name at last slowly, keeping her eyes on those of Luzanne. At mention of the name, Luzanne's eyes took on prejudice and moroseness. The pupils enlarged, the lids half closed, the face grew sour. "Junia Shale you are Junia Shale?" The voice was bitter and resentful.
He bade her remain secret till the time was ripe, and he was to be the judge of that. He was waiting for the night before the election. Then he was going to strike you and win!" "She told you that Luzanne told you that?" "And much else. Besides, she told me you had saved her life from the street-cars; that you had played fair at the start." "First and last I played fair," he said indignantly.
Also, he wanted to tell her of the danger in which Carnac was how Luzanne had come, and was hidden away in the outskirts of the city, waiting for the moment when the man who rejected her should be sacrificed. Now that Barouche was face to face with Alma Grier, however, he felt the appalling nature of his task.
For a moment Luzanne stood dismayed, then a new expression drove the dark light from her eyes. It was as though she had found a new sense. "He saved my life the day we first met," she said at last under Junia's hypnotic influence. "And now you would strike him when he is trying to do the big thing.
"Who is Luzanne, and what does it mean?" What she had read was startling. He slowly seated himself beside her. "I will tell you." When Carnac had ended his painful story, she said to him: "It's terrible oh, terrible. But there was divorce." "Yes, but they told me I couldn't get a divorce. Yet I wish now I'd tried for it. I've never heard a word from the girl till I got that letter.
There were none in the street, and time was pressing. Not far away, however, was a street with a tram-line, and this tram would take Barouche near the station from which Luzanne would start. So Barouche made hard for this street and had reached it when a phaeton came along, and in it was one whom Barouche knew.
