VI. The Seven Of Hearts - Page 18 of 21 "You can see, Varin, the safe is empty." "So I see. Then, my brother has taken out the letters." Daspry stepped down from the chair, approached Varin, and said: "Now, no more nonsense with me. There is another hiding-place. Where is it?" "There is none." "Is it money you want? How much?" "Ten thousand." "Monsieur Andermatt, are those letters worth then thousand francs to you?" "Yes," said the banker, firmly. Varin closed the safe, took the seven of hearts and placed it again on the sword at the same spot. He thrust the awl into each of the seven holes. There was the same clicking sound, but this time, strange to relate, it was only a portion of the safe that revolved on the pivot, disclosing quite a small safe that was built within the door of the larger one. The packet of letters was here, tied with a tape, and sealed. Varin handed the packet to Daspry. The latter turned to the banker, and asked: "Is the check ready, Monsieur Andermatt?" "Yes." "And you have also the last document that you received from Louis Lacombe--the one that completes the plans of the sub-marine?" "Yes." The exchange was made. Daspry pocketed the document and the checks, and offered the packet of letters to Mon. Andermatt. "This is what you wanted, Monsieur." The banker hesitated a moment, as if he were afraid to touch those cursed letters that he had sought so eagerly. Then, with a nervous movement, he took them. Close to me, I heard a moan. I grasped Madame Andermatt's hand. It was cold. "I believe, monsieur," said Daspry to the banker, "that our business is ended. Oh! no thanks. It was only by a mere chance that I have been able to do you a good turn. Good-night." Mon. Andermatt retired. He carried with him the letters written by his wife to Louis Lacombe. "Marvelous!" exclaimed Daspry, delighted. "Everything is coming our way. Now, we have only to close our little affair, comrade. You have the papers?" "Here they are--all of them." Daspry examined them carefully, and then placed them in his pocket. "Quite right. You have kept your word," he said. "But---" "But what?" "The two checks? The money?" said Varin, eagerly. "Well, you have a great deal of assurance, my man. How dare you ask such a thing?" "I ask only what is due to me." "Can you ask pay for returning papers that you stole? Well, I think not!" Varin was beside himself. He trembled with rage; his eyes were bloodshot. "The money....the twenty thousand...." he stammered. "Impossible! I need it myself." "The money!" "Come, be reasonable, and don't get excited. It won't do you any good." Daspry seized his arm so forcibly, that Varin uttered a cry of pain. Daspry continued: "Now, you can go. The air will do you good. Perhaps you want me to show you the way. Ah! yes, we will go together to the vacant lot near here, and I will show you a little mound of earth and stones and under it---" |
