Really it was a submarine bell which could be used for telegraphing or telephoning both ways through water. The men finished executing the directions of Del Mar and left, carefully concealing the land connections and key of the bell, while we were still at Del Mar's. We had no sooner left, however, than one of the men who had been engaged in installing the submarine bell entered the library.
Before the secret agent knew it, both he and Smith were covered. The chauffeur took a step toward Smith and unceremoniously jerked off the widow's weeds, as well as the wig. At that very moment one of Del Mar's men came up to the secret panel that opened from the underground passageway into his library. He was about to open it when he heard a sound on the other side that startled him.
The instant in which he knew that the young creature whom at a distance he discerned clinging around the Earl of Mar's neck in the streets of Stirling, was the same Lady Helen on whose account Lord Soulis had poured on him such undeserved invectives in Bothwell Castle; curious to have a nearer view of one whose transcendent beauty he had often heard celebrated by others, he ordered her to be immediately conveyed to his apartments in the citadel.
When Woodward, Arnold and the attacking party had discovered me unconscious in Del Mar's study, there had been no time to wait for me to regain full consciousness. They had placed me on a couch and run into the secret passageway after Elaine. Now, however, I slowly regained my senses and, looking about, vaguely began to realize what had happened.
Edwin kissed Wallace's hand in silence-it was not wet with his tears-and drawing his bonnet hastily over his eyes, he retired into the rear of Lord Mar's party. That nobleman soon after took leave of the regent, who, placing himself at the head of his legions, the trumpets blew the signal of march.
"No matter, dear," said Minty; "it's mar's, and you kin wear it when you like, if you'll only ask for it." Richelieu wondered if he was dreaming! This unexpected mildness this inexplicable tremor in his sister's voice: it must be some occult influence of the night season on the sisterly mind, possibly akin to a fear of ghosts!

As she got out and entered, the naturalist, having quickened his pace, came up and watched her go in. Then, after taking in the situation for a moment, he made his way around the side of the bungalow. "Is Mr.

He sat down again and began his story, striving as he talked to reconquer something of his old coolness. "The thing was ruined by the advent of this boy, Mar's lackey I spoke of. You said he had not been here?" "You may go to Lorance with that question," Mayenne answered; "I have something else to attend to than the intrigues of my wife's maids."
The countess saw not what was passing in his mind, but kissing her hand to him, disappeared from the window when he entered the palace. Another eye beside Lady Mar's had witnessed the triumphant entry of Wallace.
