Belle, her heart beatitiix with terror, said gently: ••Madam, I fear I am mistaken; does not Mr. Alphonse Sartoris live here? ' The woman and man exchanged significant glances and then laughed. ••Another one of Larkey's fancy names." said the woman. "All right, my girl, you*! stay. •■ Vhere am I ? Who are you ?" gasped Belle. • -One question at a time, young lady." answered "Walt." blandy. "I have the honor to introduce you to Madame Corallie Hunt, principal of this unrivaled institution for girls. Special attention paid to morals and manners. W’e are just out of circulars, but perhaps you have Heard of this place' before ?” Madame Corallie !—heard, of her—she had, but as she had heard of imaginary horrors too terrible to be named, something too dark and awful to ever come m contact with her fresh younglife, like a ilash of light a complete understanding of the plot to entrap her came to Belle. Alone, unprotected, tot even her parents dreamed of her •■ . :i. Alone m this den of merciless ■leasts 1 With a pierMng scream she spiaiig toward the door, but was pushed violently back by the madame. “None of that, my girl; your e bound to stay here, and might as well make the best of it; you may give me some of that ext il jewelry while we are on this subject, too. ’ A faint hope sprang up in the poor childs heart. She' began tearing oil her small supply of jewelry with feverish haste. "Oh, you may have them all." she cried eagerly, taking off the pretty rings, earrings, and pin ; even the dainty little watch, the pride of her heart, was quickly placed in the woman s outstretched hand. “You may have them all, and my father will give you more ; only let me go I The last words rose to a wail as the woman turned deliberately to leave the room. Commanding the man angrily to “take care of her. and stop the infernal noise, Madame Corallie left the room and locked the door after her. Belle turned to the man who had watched the whole scene with calm enjoyment. Oh, sir 1 please show me away out i this dreadful place ! have fity ! for my mother,s sake, she implored with a suffocating sob, “let me go." “Take care,’ replied her jailer, warn- | ingly, "no more of that noise, if you know when you’re well off." Belle sank into a chair, her sobs gradually died away, and then she became silent. "That's right,’’ said her tormenter approvingly, lighting a cigar and leaniug back comfortably, “always make :!■<• best of what you can’t help ; you'll like us better after a while." Belle shuddered, but made no reply ; although silly and thoughtless she was trn fool, and she had set all her wits to work to devise a plan by which to escape from this place before it was too ’ate. Shading her face from the gaze of "Walt she glanced keenly around the room, the one door was fastened ; the only other communication with the outer world were three windows, and they were closed by shutters and heavy curtains ; through a chink in the shutter of one-of them, where the curtains were parted slightly, she •mid see the glimmer of a street lamp on the opposite corner, and under it :h ■ blue gleamof a policeman's uniform. But he was so far away. The room was getting very dark ; she looked at m r jailer despairingly ; he was watching the blue wreaths of smoke that •urled upward from his cigar ;as Belle's eyes wandered around the room they fell upon one of those large white sea-shells so often used for ornaments, lying on a silken mat near her chair. With one bound she has snatched up the shell and reached the window ; there is a crash of shattered glass, a torrent of horrible oaths from the villain who grips her arm cruelly and tries to drag her away, but the agonized cry rings loud and clear, and the bleeding hands clings tight : “Help! help ! help r There is the quick sharp sound of a policeman s rattle ; another and another and anol her answers, and the cruel hand leaves her aria ; a passer-bj locks
