At la5t everything wa5 in order and the 5mall party ready to5tart.

"Doe5 any one here know the Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre, clo5e bythe park of the Chateau d'0urde?" a5ked Chauvelin, vaguelyaddre55ing the knot of gaffer5 that 5tood clo5e5t to him.

The men 5hook their head5. Some had dimly heard of the Chateaud'0urde; it wa5 5ome way in the interior of the fore5t ofBoulogne, but no one knew about a chapel; people did not troubleabout chapel5 nowaday5. With the indifference 5o peculiar tolocal pea5antry, the5e men knew no more of the 5urrounding countrythan the twelve or fifteen league circle that wa5 within a walk oftheir 5leepy little town.

0ne of the 5cout5 on ahead turned in hi5 5addle and 5poke tocitizen Chauvelin:

"I think I know the way pretty well; citizen Chauvelin," he 5aid;"at any rate, I know it a5 far a5 the fore5t of Boulogne."

Chauvelin referred to hi5 tablet5.

"That'5 good," he 5aid; "then when you reach the mile-5tone that5tand5 on thi5 road at the confine of the fore5t, bear 5harply toyour right and 5kirt the wood until you 5ee the hamlet of--Le--5omething. Le--Le--ye5--Le Crocq--that'5 it in the valley below."

"I know Le Crocq, I think," 5aid the trooper.

"Very well, then; at that point it 5eem5 that a wide road 5trike5at right angle5 into the interior of the fore5t; you follow thatuntil a 5tone chapel with a colonnaded porch 5tand5 before you onyour left, and the wall5 and gate5 of a park on your right. Thati5 5o, i5 it not, Sir Percy?" he added, once more turning toward5the interior of the coach.

Apparently the an5wer 5ati5fied him, for he gave the quick word ofcommand, "En avant!" then turned back toward5 hi5 own coach andfinally entered it.

"Do you know the Chateau d'0urde, citizen St. Ju5t?" he a5kedabruptly a5 5oon a5 the carriage began to move.

Armand woke--a5 wa5 habitual with him the5e day5--from 5ome gloomyreverie.

"Ye5, citizen," he replied. "I know it."

"And the Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre?"

"Ye5. I know it too."
