CHAPTER Vl.— [Continued.] ‘•How unfortunatel” muttered Clement, in his teeth. “War! Then the Chasseurs d’Afrique will be ordered home, and Francisque with them 1” And then he turned to Mervale, and said, in differently, “Well, it’s time we took a turn aeross the Rhine. It doesn’t much matter to me—l’m not going to enlist, but there will be plenty of sight-seeing for you.” “I hope it won’t break up our sst, though,” slid Mervale, reflectively. “There are people here I should be awfully sorry to lose sight of.” “Who are they ; I shall remain ; so will most of the felioWs you know.” “Oh, yes—l know ; that’s always a comfort," returned Mervale, embarassed. “But there are others, you know ; the—trie Sutnmersons, for instance.” “i knew it was coming, old fellow. You have not got over that yet. Well, you’re not alone. She is splendidly handsome, ’pon my soul! And, between you and me, I don’t think you would come in last, if all of us were to run for it." “Do you mean that, Da Boisrobert I” said Mervale, gladly. “I mean that, and no more ; so don’t say I encouraged you, if you hang yourself in despair one day, as jour countryman, Guildford, did last year.” “Is there really any truth in nil those rumors about the men she has jilted?” asked the Eng lishman, anxiously. “Truth ! I should say so. But, mind you, nobody has yet traced the fault to her. Jilting is not the word. Mad infatution applied to her lovers would better describe the original cause of the tragedies of which she has been the cen tral figure. The woman is so diabolically beau tiful that she can do any amount or mischief witnout ever wishing or knowing it. And now, if you'll excuse me, we’ll go out,” he added after a pause. Mervale walked by his side dreamingly, lost in a lover’s Uiopia. Nothing roused him,though there was enough stirring in the streets to in terest him Across the bridge, across the Place do ia Concorde, under the fierce summer sun that half melted the asphalte, and made a haze like golden dust in the Champs Elysees, the people poured up the Rue Royaie to the Made leine. talking loudly of the debates in the Corps Legislatif, just across the river, walking arm-in arm and crying, “A Berlin ! a Berlin !” with the vehement delight of a race to whom military glory is dearer than peace and pleasure—dearer even than art. “This looks well,” said Clement as he bade good-bye to his friend, near Miss Summerson’s house Trickster and traitor though he was, the man had yet some of the quick, enthusiastic im pulses or his race, and his heart leaped and he longed to shout with the rest that excellent boast—‘ A Berlin 1” CHAPTER VII. mis summerson at home. Miss Juliet Summerson had been six years in France, and her accent had retained nothing more than a slight piquant flavor of the Mary land dialect—a sharpness and originality that was not the least among her many charms, said the mo-t impartial admirers, the rest consider ing that French bad been barbarously utteied by being pronounced by Parisians. She and her mother—a somnolent old lady, who being nearly always changing her cap i:i a harry, or dropping into prolound sleep, will have little to do with this uarrnttve—had come to Paris as the last stage of the Grand Tour, with excellent letters, and, apparently, limitless pecuniary resources. They took a small hotel, and “received” twice a week. But that which helped them into fashionable society more than introductions, ready money, and liberal hospilal ty, was the marvelous beauty of the daughter—a beauty, as Reine said, was positively disquieting in its perfection, and wo Id have given to its possessor, had she been barefooted and in a patched print dress, a power to work her will that the mistress of the Tuileries might have envied. Her face was creamy white, her eyes brown, and heavily shaded by dark lashes ; the hair of a curious gold-rid color, almost orange, was twisted into a loose knot behind, i- a way that became fash ionable in Paris a few weeks after her appear ance, under the style of a T Americaine. She had small bands and feet, the extremities of a creole who could neither walk Dor work And over all this, a soft, subtle air that was neither child-like nor womanly, neither Parisian nor American, but rather Oriental, perverse, and pleasant to watch withal; witch-like, and yet gentle—as Faustine’s manner may have been, because she knew not what denial meant—be cause her tyranny had never yet been question ed. Once confronted with her few men ever thought of inquiring into her antecedents, or discovering whether the vast mines in Colorado, of which she sometimes spoke, had any exist ence in reality. People accepted her at her own estimation, with regard to all these material details of her life and fortune; her face was undeniable, thotighter not be; and gazing at that face, within reach of the slow glances of those unfathomable brown eyes, Golconda itself be came a secondary consideration. But her Golconda was as real as her face, to judge from the evidences that bestrewed the home she had made for 'herself. No glarish splendor, no gilding, marble consoles, statuary, reproductions, or Chinese curiosities. The room into which the reader is introduced was well lit, hung with rffse-colored draperies, meet ing, tent-fashion, in the ceutte of the ceiling, decorated, nliere the silk is looped up against the walls, W'th aquarelles by famous masters, medallions bought at Rome or Florence, and miniature relics dating from the middle ages. The furniture was in keeping with this style of mural ornamentation ; scarcely an orthodox chair tvas to be found. There were settees, long, low couches, seats that looked like con fused heaps ot cusuions, and studding the floor at regular intervals, porcelain jars and pots con taining flowers, whose rare, vivid, contrasting colors compensated for their lack of scent Juliet said that one had no l ight to poison one’s friends on the pretext that one was fond of flowers. Here the Belle Americaine, as all fashionable Paris called her, was ly'ng listlessly on a low couch at one of the broad bow-windows No one bad ever discovered Juliet Sutnmeson in *n ungraceful attitude. Site took easy statues que poses naturally like a panther. She had never studied “deportmentshe would comb her hair in her dressing room as though it wre the Salle des Marechaux,and the Court of France were watching her. The book fell to the ground a< she made a movement to press a little papis lazuli knob that sounded a gong in her lady’s-maid's waiting room. It was anew abstruse German work on arciieeolgy. Juliet never read poetry or fiction —at least, no more than was necessary for the purpose of conversation : that was why by a simple uupretentious word or two, she would occasionally set a right diseusions on most scieitific points in which, Solons from the Leg islative Chamber and Crichtons from the Insti tute were losing themselves. The mat I appeared and Juliet asked her. in 1 the quiet, decisive tone her servants were familiar with, “Was it not M. de Boisrobert whom 1 saw cros3 the court-yard a moment ago?” “Yes, Miss ; and I was bringi. g his name up when the bell rang.” Clement presented himself in a few moments, and, shaking hands with Juliet, threw himself on a settee, with a frank gesture of weariness and illnhumor. “What is amiss now?” inquired Juliet, with an amused expression. She habitually assumed a tone of superiority, with Clement—which fact did not at the pres ent moment by any means lesson his vexation. “Uh. everything’s amiss! I've had one of your adorers for an hour, and that doesn’t con duce to a state of boisterous exhilaration. That Meivale has been raving about you to such a degree that I felt inclined to turn round upon him, and swear your nose was snub and your teeth false.” “It is a bore to listen to. I, of all people, should know how to sympathize with you. But what else ?” “Oh, there’s this war! It will bring Carayon back upon us, and a deuce of a mess we shall be in then.” ‘Anything else?” said Juliet, imperturbably. “Well, what you heard about the girl is true. She did try to kill herself the dthcr night, and now she’s perfectly unmanageable.” “That is the most serious item,” said Juliet. “I always warned you that you would find the little wax doll hard a9 iron and marble when brought to hay. Are you convinced now? That likeness is useless. You must see to changing your tactics. Have you quite aban doned your ambition of making Mdlle. Lagarde Mdme. Boisrobert 1 “Well, yes ; l think it is hopeless, though she must still be kept in sight.” “Only for a short time, if you will adopt my plan.” “I will. But repeat the terms.” “One hundred thousand Irenes on my marriage with the Comte, and two hundred thousand more in payments spread over the space of eighteen months.” “You forget the Legion of Honor, and an ap pointment as sub-prefect a year after the event.’ “That is the convention, in return, you are silent on the subject of my private affairs, atid give youi help with the old man keeping Rome out of sight until the marriage is lact.” “Ay, that's better,” said Clement, weariedly. “There is really nothing to be done with the girl.” “No ; and yet the net was cleverly woven I re.,ily believed at first that tne idea of mine, leaii.ig the laces with her in herpoveity, would I bring her into our pun er. But fancy the gill | choosing to starve rather than sell her benefac tor’s property 1 It’s a piece ol antique virtue; they ought to put it in the Plutarch’s Lives of the future.” “The old man is more valuable,” remarked Clement “But can you make short work of the business? lam awfully hard up There will be a crash in nr affairs if you are not tapid. That cursed ecarte hasn’t brought me in more than twenty pounds during tfle last month,” “Oh, my part will be promptly played !” Juliet sat down at a little inlaid writing-table, wrote hurriedly’ for a few moments, a> and then said, “See here; this will bring him, and pave the way 1” “Dear Comtk, — “This terrible war changes all our plans. ! fear we must quit Paris immediately. May I ask you, as a trusted friend, to counsel and help me in all the business arrangements that have to be inadebelure we leave.” The note was dispatched by a messenger. “But.” objected Clement, “you will be obliged to go, if he doesn’t come to the point immedi ately.” “Bah ! You know his infatuation; and I can extract a declaration in half an hour from a cooler lover than the Comte de Chayolles.” “But, still, if you failed?” “I shall not tail. But it, however, you are bent upon making impossible hypotheses, we will say that incase of failuie, we must de scend to vulgarity, and use those papers that expose his past life. A trial for bigamy is not a bad stjord of Damocles to hang over the oid detard's head.” “Ay, but the papers?” grumbled Clement. “You talk about using them with a woman’s usual ligtitness and bravery—when she is risk ing somebody else's skin I have not been able to even look at them. That hound, Lagarde, is just shrewd enough to keep the documents out ot my clutches, but never had an idea of the purpose for which I wanted them.” “He knows nothing of his sister’s birth, then?” “Nothing. Whenever I hare sounded him, he has stared blankly in my lace.” “But how did you get the scent of the papers, if lie is as secretive as you say ?” “I have made use of a fellow named Choquard now and then ; and more than a year ago, when this intelligent and more or less faiihful retainer was incapacitated for active service by an attack of lever, I got hold of Lagarde, and soon found out that my new agent nourished a violent spite against my respectable friend, Comte de Cba yolles. Of course, the fellow went under a notn de guerre. At last, in a fit of drunken confi dence, he boasted of being able to humble the viliage tyrant of his youth by simply making known the existence of documents casting shame on the noble house of Chayolles. I wormed out of him, when he was sober, and teirified at the possible consequences of his tipsy indiscret’on, that these papers were a species of memoir or confession, written by the Comte—l suppose for posthumous publication— in which he slates minutely the circumstances of his first unknown marriage with a country girl at Atques, who was living when he espous ed to the lady the world knew’ as the Countess de Chayolles. One child was the issue of the secret marriage, and of her (it was a girl! La garde informed me the Comte professed to have lost sight. You see, u was a pretty valuable • secret for such a spendthrift to have got hold of—bigamy aud abandonment of mother and child.” “But what made you connect Reine with all this?” “Everything. The conviction was patent She was horn of an Arqites woman. I found out that Madame Lagarde, her real or soi-disant mother was away at Rouen, at the time of the birth, and returned with the baby, a few weeks old, to Arques. After that, the Comte was al ways very faniilliar with his tenant’s family, and made an especial pet of Heine. She is unlike the old Lagarde in face and figure. Then that immediate adoption, and the insane passion fe t for her by the old Comte, crowns one of the piettiest fabrics of circumstantial evidence that I have come across for years.” “Ay ; you are right. It must be. Only it is a remarkable circumstance that Eugene never had an inkling of the truth, and has not yet ventured to make the slightest use of his papers.” “O.i, he has a curious sort o respect for his mother and father, in spite of his lofty cynicism; and would never dream of suspecting them of any kind of trickery, such as must have been concocted to pass the girl off s their child.— Lastly, he dares not show himself to the Comte. He imagines that a prosaic committal to the police might crush out his vengeance. It is this police perspective, and a promise of certain pecuniary advantages, that I shall use to obtain the papers." “The Comte de chayolles is in the drawing room,” announced a footman. “Show him up here.” And turning to Clem ent when the ma i had left, Juliet added, “You withdraw for a few minutes. Don't go; it will not last long, and I shall like to see you after wards." Clement raised the silk drapery at a spot with which he seemed familiar, opened a door, and disappeared. The silken folds had not closed behind him, when the Comte de Chayolles entered. He was a tall, spare old man of sixty, gray haired, bent and ap arently in ill-health ; yet the firmnessj of the mouth, and a certain mili tary decision of carriage, indicated a strength of character which neither age nor sickness had entirely broken. There was little sterness in hi? face, however, ns lie came towards Juliet with outstretch! and hands aud a trembling mile. She rose, with a simple air of respect, and motioned nim to a seat beside her. “Is this true, Miss Summerson ? Are you really going to leave us ?” “There's no help for it. What are two poor women to do here alone, in the midst of wr? There may be armies all around us, communica tions cut off, and we, who are tied to America by wisps of banknotes and chains of dollars would soon be reduced to starvation if a few mails were to mis consecutively.” “But indeed, Miss Summerson, we cannot spare you. What do mails and bank agents matter, as long as you have loving friends hi re ?” “Ay, dear Comte, it is the friends that make me leel as though I were leaving home, foreign though I be. You have been so good to us.” And tears gathered in her eyes as she spoke, A blush came to the old man's cheek, and he said, impulsively. “Yet, if I were young again, to bid you stay in another fashion ?” Juliet called up a blush to her face, and bent her head timidly. “You might stay then ; you might feel what sunlight yen would take away with you, and so remain out of pity. But sunlight at fifty! One has just time to blink at it, and then all the lights of their life go out togeth r !” .Still the redness in her cheeks, and the droop ing head. “Juliet.” said the old man, perplexity and glad, half-doubting surprise, giving strange in flections to his voice, fitful exprjssions to his countenance, —“Juliet, I have betrayed my folly, and you must he.-r me to the ind now. Will you bear n,y name for ft few short years? Will you be as the daughter 1 have lost, more than the wife the world would call you ? 1 can have no other title than that of your husband to keep you at my side, and make your future fn ; r as wealth and station can make it. Forgive me if I a.-k for that title*. Again 1 say it will not be long. You are rich in life aud lam poor.— Can yo i notypare me a year or two?” She placed her hand on his shoulder and said softly, “I will give my life, dear friend. Not from pity, or charity, or respect—but love !” And she bent forward, and kissed him on the forehead “All !” she ciied; a quarter of an hour later, when the Comte had left. “Oh, I an glad it’s over! The part of an ingenue n maidenly confusion, et cetera, is one of the most fatigu ing in all my range of characters.” “But how cleverly you did it!” said Clement. “N .\v hasten the denoi’ment.” “The documents must be destroyed. Supjyose the girl were to hear of then ? Where is Eu gene Lagarde ?’ / “In Belgium, 1 believe. I got him a commer cial post there, in order to keep him out of the way for a few months. He wouldn't have stood any tampering with his sister, and doesn't re gard M. de Boisrobert at all in tne light of a respectable brother in-law. Bat he'll be back in a day or two. 1 have just had a note from his employees, saying that he left them some time .go, and ju t app.ied to them for money to lake him b ick to Paris. But the girl must be kept rom him. The fellow actually sent her halt bis salary for several weeks, Micbon slop p and the letters, of course.” Clement felt pretty well satisfied with the turn his nffiirs had taken, and was building cast es in Spain after his own ideal—where ecarte should be player eternally, and green young English lords never fail to bet with him —when a meek voice hailed hint near the steps of his club ; he turned round—lt was Micbon. “Tlie deuce ! Micbon, never you come here, or I II swear you do business at cent per cent.” “Pardon, sir,” said the concierge, meeker than ever, “but f have news, and you told me to in form you ” * The girl’s bolted, then?” interrupted Clem ent. “With the Jew, Marcus, sir. He’s given up his epartment, and paid tier rent, and all that was owing. They didn’t take a cab at the door, or I should have heard the new address. He’s sold hi? furniture to an upholsterer; they have taken nothing with them, 1 followed them a Iw-t, but Marcus caught sight of me, and uld me to go home quite threateningly.” “That will do. It can’t be helped.” And, over his absinthe at the club, Clement reflected cheerfully. “After all, the brother is always a hold upon her. They’wouldn’t have gone to work so secret ly it they’ had meant to make anything public. I shall have to invent another lie for Francisque, I suppose—that is all.” [To be Continued ] A BALLET-GIEL BUBNT AT THE STAKE. An inquest has been held at Sheffield on the body of the poor ballet-girl, Alma Oldalfi, who ctfrne to her death under the most wretched circum stances through a lire which occur red during the performance of a pan tomime at the Sheffield Theater on the 18th December last. The unfortu nate deceased was only eighteen years of age, and was engaged to enact the part of an “extra" or “Hying lady” in the transformation scene of the pantomime. She was suspended from the “Hies,” standing on a piece of iron, aud strapped to an iron rod at her back. The gauze curtains at the wirg, from some un known cause, caught lire and were blown by a current of cold air toward the ds ceased; her muslin skirts—she had on besides only a single garment —were at once enveloped in flames, aud it was stated at the inquest that two min utes elapsed before she could be lowered to the stage. Being strap ped to the iron rod, she was, of course, utterly powerless, and be tween suc-h a fate and being burnt alivo at the stake we tire unable to discern any mateiial difference. Alma OUlale ap pears to have undergone the process of roasting with remarkable courage, but her nervous system was entirely shatter ed by the shock she had sustained, and, after lingering a few days the poor crea ture died.—[London Telegraph. ♦ >♦ - I SAFE si COUNTER,PLATFORM WAGON &.TRACK ISCALES!
