A Story of the Trench Commune.
BY EVELYN JEKROLD.
CHAPTER XlX.— {Continued.']
“Shall we go down stairs now?” said his wife,
persuasively, going to him.
“Yes, 3 es. Let me see first."
Madame Michon drew Juliet aside, and whis
pered in terrified tones, “Madame, it is Captain
Francisque Carayon.”^
She did not start or cry. Another pressing
danger was before her.
The Comte opened the window, and drew up
the jalousies. The cold winter sunlight flooded
the room, and with it entered the noise of tri
umphing legions that warmed the old soldier’s
heart, that was as an intoxicating fluid imbibed
through the ears.
He stepped on to the balcony.
“T know what it is,” he cried. “You wished
to give me a glad surprise for my wedding-day.
Berlin has fallen 1 The Emperor is re-entering
Baris! That is our mus : c—there flash our
bayonets !”
And truly there was one long streak of light
in the avenue, as far as the eye could reach—the
bayonets of the advancing army.
The doctor came anxiously forward, and en
'deavored to persuade his patient to quit the
balcony,
“No, no, doctor; I am tasting the best medi
cine. This will make me well. Here they cornel
What march is that they are playing ? Hurrah!
we have whipped the Kaiserliclcs home again !”
The flash of the bayonets came nearer as
these words fell in breathless interjections from
the old man’s lips. His eyes were weakened by
age and sickness, and the doctor began to hope
that nothing would be discovered.
“Here they are 1 Here they are I” cried the
Comte.
And he clapped his hands excitedly, as the
first lines of buglars neared the window.
“Why don’t they give the ‘Marseillaise?' Sucre
bleu! One’s ancestry is all very well; but on
such a day as this it’s the real old anthem of
victory, after all! There are the Lancers—
splendid men, doctor. Why does nobody cheer
them—bid them welcome, the brave fellows ?
Oh, you young generation ! You take things
coolly—victory like defeat I”
And he peered curiously into the street.
“Nobody at the windows! What does it mean?
Let an old man give them a lesson. ’
The Lancer looked up. His voice was loud,
and he was the only spectator in all the broad,
long avenue,
“Ay, look up, mes braves ! Well done 1 Vive
la France! Vive la Fra Oh, what are they
crying? German—German I”
He tottered, and looked closely at the passing
troops. Then, with a shriek, “Oh, Heaven! the
Uhlans—the Uhlans 1 Paris is theirs 1”
A defiant yell of the “Wacht am Rhein!” and
his body bent suddenly, and he fell back into
the room.
“Dead!” said the doctor, in a low voice,
kneeling beside the prostrate form.
There was a hasty kaock at the door. Clem
ent caught Juliet’s glance, and darted into an
adjoining room.
The door opened, and Francisque Carayon
stood on the threshold.
“Hush, sir—hush ! There is death in this
room 1” said the doctor.
Carayon stood amazed ; then, realizing the
truth, hastened towards the Comte.
The doctor interposed.
“You can do no good here, monsieur. Speak
to Madame de la Comtesse de Chayolles.”
The young officer turned towards Juliet and
he saw that he came too late.
CHAPTER XX.
SAVING TUB WIDOW'S MITE.
Francisque bowed ceremoniously.
“I see, Madame la Comtesse,” he said, gravely,
but with a significant ring in his voice, “that
my poor friend lived long enough to achieve
the dearest desire of his life. I dare not bid
you draw consolation from that fact; your sor
row must be beyond the reach of such pallia
tives.”
Apollo’s bow is not always strung; Juliet’s
self-possession was shaken. The terrible catas
trophe she had just witnessed—new anxieties
born of it—her hidden love—her fear ot the
young man who faced her—all made her forget
the frigid courtesy that was her normal mask.
“You are right, Captain Carayon; my grief
requires no consolation, but it requires solitude.
May I inquire in what my husband could have
served you ?”
“Oh, in nothing,” said Francisque, studying
her face attentively. “I wished to serve hin°
My errand was one of simple courtesy. lie was
a true, a valued friend of mine. I wished to
assist at his marriage.”
“I thank you but now ”
“But now,” interrupted the officer, seeing that
the Count’s lifeless form had been carried away,
and that he was alone in the room with the
Comtesse, “I have another errand. Where is
Reine Lagarde, Comtesse de Chayolles ?”
Juliet started. The blunt, soldierly form of
the question struck her like a direct bayonet
thrust, nnd Juliet was used to the polite fencing
at genteel distances of the very best society.
“Why do you ask me that?” she said, in a
voice she strove in vain to render firm and in
different.
“Because I am convinced you can give me
the information.”
“You are misinformed—l cannot; and if I
could I would not Captain Carayon.”
It was a bold exhibition of her secret im
pulses, but she could not help it.
“Madame, I pray you tell me what I want to
know. It must be a matter of complete indif
ference to you—it is a matter of life and death
to me.”
He knew not howfully he was revenging him
self.
“Indeed!” murmured Juliet; and the hot
tears welled in her eyes.
Francisqae was surfrised; but, thinking he
had touched her, he countinued, passionately,
“I have been through the jaws of death to reach
her. An infamous wretch, whom lam ashamed
to have called friend, denounced me as deserter
or traitor. I was tried yesterday by court-mar
tail, and acquitted. A gentleman who was my
second came forward, and testified to the reality
of my duel before the siege. I have been seek
ing her since yesterday evening, and, in despair,
I came to you. \\ ill you not help me, madame?
You cannot hate me—l am blameless towards
you.”
“Blameless—blameless—but ob, so blind !”
said Juliet, excitedly Then she added, abrupt
ly, hardly. “1 know not where she is. I care
not for your loves. I have other things at heart
than the union of virtuous young seamstresses in
distress with Quixotic captains of cavalry.”
Francisque’s face flushed crimson. He rose
took his hat, bowed low, and, without a word’
retired.
All that day Juliet sat dreamily, drearily be
side the bed where the figure of her husband
lay, rigid and calm. She felt little sorrow, but
superstitiously wished to pay the last devoirs to
the old man she bad deceived and injured. Her
dreams were not of him ; he had never been, in
his life, aught but means to an end—a cov in
the great mechanism that was to raise her above
the necessity of thinking of weekly bills, nnd
scheeming to save money to pay them with.
Her reverie was Francisque. She saw the pan
orama of her past life, which he would shudder
to behold; the vision of the future, in which
he could have no place. And for a moment
the worthlessness of what she had gained im
pressed itself upon her with sickening force.
The curtain had risen on the fairy piece, and
she was crying, “Is that all!”
But moments such as these were of short du
ration with Juliet. Physically and morally, she
was averse to the languor of inaction, the van
ity of vain reflection.
She rose in the evening with the sense that
something remained to be done ; that, worthless
or precious, her end was not yet attained. And
then passing into the room where the Count’s
private papers were kept, she opened an escri
toire, drew forth paper, pens, and an engraven
seal, and wrote slowly and carefully, studying
attentively, from time to time, a written paper
at her elbow.
The work must have been difficult and deli
cate, for she copied and re-copied the original
draft, patiently and minutely, until each letter
must have been present to her sight, even when
her eyes closed. A.t last she rose satisfied,
burnt the dozen copies she had made, and re
tained the last folded in her hand.
She rang the bell, and told Madame Michon,
who appeared, to bring her husband up in such
a way that his coming should be unperceived.
In a feew moments the ex-concierge stood
before her,
“How much is your sileuce—l won’t say you:
conscience -worth ?” she inquired calmly.
The man and woman looked at each other
foolishly.
“What does madame wish us to do?” said the
famale Michon at last.
“.See here ! This is a will made by the Comte,
before his marriage. I acquire by it certain
advantages which I need not specify. He omit
ted a slight formality—the signature of wit
nesses. Will you be those witnesses —yes or
no ?”
“What madame proposes is dangerous,” said
M. Michon, hesitating. “Has madame nothing
to add ?”
“What price do you put upon yourselves ?”
The honest couple held a whispered confer
ence for a few moments, then Madame Michon
said, softly, “We should be able to retire, and
set up a little business in the wine-shope line,
with our small savings and ten thousand
francs.”
“See here ! A clause of this will leaves you
fifteen thousand !”
M. Michon appended his signature immediate
ly; and, af'er verifying the clause that concern
ed them, his wile followed his example.
“Now,” said Juliet, locking up the will, “pray
don’t consider that you have the Comtesse de
Chayolles in your power, my good friends, and
can bleed her as you please ! Never ask me
for another sou ! You have signed a will which
leaves 3 r ou fifteen thousand francs. Threaten,
or speak disrespectful to me, and I will have you
turned out of the house ! Denounce me, and
you will be tried on the charge of having forged
this will ! You know what your word is worth
in a court of law. As the Comte’s widow, I
have a legal right to a third of his property.
The rich Americaine will come off with flying
colors, and no insignificant fortune, from any
contest between us. But you understand me,
eh? Now, good day, M. and Madame Michon—
good day.”
Stunned, and yet fully comprehending the
strength of the links they had just forged for
themselves, the couple retired.
The next day, when the seals were raised, s.
will as found that bequeathed the Comtejde Oha
yolles’ entire property to Miss Juliet Summer
son, in case the testator should not live long
enough to make her his wife— to the Comtesse
de Chayolles, should the marriage take place.
Clement was prescut at the reading of the
will, which seemed perfectly natural and proper,
the Comte having few near relations alive, and
he sought an interview with Juliet immediately
after the fulfilment of the first formalities.
He dared not hint his suspicions. There was
no evidence, or clue of any evidence, to go upon.
He demanded simply a share of the spoils, with
out making any allusion to the maner in which
they were obtained.
Juliet was loyal to all allies, but her actual
resources were limited.
“Ten thousand francs—that is all I can spare.”
“Ten thousand francs, and the others had
fifteen!”
“You shall have your full share directly I
have ’.nine. But repeat that kind of inuendo,
and the bank stops payment ?”
Clement felt that he must understand, and
obey.
CHAPTER XXI.
francisqce’s search.
Francisque had had but one idea since the
duel at Ville d’Avray—to find Reine, whatever
might be her past, whatever might result in the
future.
Bouyed up by this hope, he had crept past
the Prussian sertinels that guarded the Ver
sailles Hospital, had stolen from line to line,
speaking German, feigning sickness, finding an
ingenuity in his passion which the simple in
stinct of self-perservation had certainly not
developed. He had passed forward to the cur
tain ot Mont Valerien with that vision of Reine
before him ; he had borne the insults and in
dignities impossed upon him—his short impris
onment, the trial that was in itself an insult to
a soldier of France; he had passed through all
this in a state of dreamy apathy, that proved his
mind to be roaming—roaming to that brief,
glad time of his early love, to the span of hap
py communion with the girl whom he was to
make his wife. Filled by such memories, a
young man’s life is in truth little bettei than a
dream ; its material duties are fulfilled mechan
ically, its accidents accepted indifferently. And
Francisque heard, like one who walks in his
sleep, his acquittal pronounced unanimously,
received his swoid back again, answered the
congratulations and anxious inquiries of brother
officers.
The sight that met him at the Hotel de Cha
yolles awoke him in a moment. Thenceforth
he became again tfie active, determined soldier
whom African campaigns had taught to decide
in a moment —and to make no difference between
decision and action.
Still, on leaving the Hotel Chayolles, he felt
somewhat aimless. Reine had said that she
could explain everything. He could form no
idea of what the explantation would contain,
but he would hear it at a.l costs; and something
within him added he wou and receive it gladly,
unquestioning!}-—no matter what it might be.’
But how to arrive at it—at her ? What evil
might, not have befallen her—alone, helpless, in
the great city, in the midst of war? He had
heard of awful sufferings ; of sickness, ending
in death, for want of the simplest necessaries •
of woman stricken down by famine and cold in
low, damp cellars—their only refuge from a hail
of bombs. Who could have saved her from
such a fate ?
The question came to him again and again,
and he dared not answer it; Yet, as he retired!
hot with contempt and indignation, from Juliet’s
presence, he telt hope strong within him •push
ing bitn on to new efforts, suggesting plans so
extiavagant and multitudinous, that bewilder
ment seized him ete one could be put into exe
cution. At last he threw all aside, and pursued
his inquiries without forethought and system.
He called at every mairie w here relief had been
distributed to the poor during the seige. He
made the tour of the charitable societies, organ
ized t@ remedy some of the private evils of°the
beleaguerment He went from atelier to atelier,
to the workshops of modistes and dress-makers,’
to seamstresses’ agencies, to the centres of all
those large I’arisias industries in which female
labor is employed.
Vainly, vainly, he sighed to himself, after
days and weeks had been spent in the hopele™
search. Then a dull despair crept over him.—
Day after day he would walk aimlessly about
tae streets, so empty and dieary, since no face
like hers passed him. He would roam from
quarter to quarier, never heeding the black
signs of civil war around him ; from the Fau
bourg St. Antoine, where workmen scowled at
him as he passed, clad in all the outward attri
butes of the hated bourgeois, to the Chaussee
d’Antin, where bourgeois, dressed like himself,
gazed anxiously from cafe windows, or asked’
timorously for news. What his life was in those
dark days, he could never say. He seemed to
have become a machine, to suffer and to wan
der.
One day he caught a glimpse of a little rose
eolored streak at the leaden horizon of his life.
It was in a populous quarter. He was faint
with walking, and entered a dull, obscure cafe
—the cafe of the “Three Blind Men.”
A workman sat beside himat the table, intent
ly reading a letter penned, manifestly by a wo
man’s fingers. The missive seemed old and
worn, as though it had been studied many
times, folded and unfolded as seme precious
document, whose influence had been great on
the receiver’s life. That influence could scarce
ly have been happy, for after reading the letter
twice, the stranger buried his head in his hands,
and fell into a moody reverie.
The letter fell from his hand on to a newspa
per which Francisque was just taking from the
table. The paper fluttered to the ground. Fran
cisque stooped to pick it up, and read on the
floor the name, “Reine Lagarde.”
“That is my property, sir,” said the workman,
fiercely snatching the paper from the ground
ere Francisque could touch it.
Francisque hesitated a moment. He could
not trust himself to speak.
At last he said, quietly, “I was about to re
store it to you, monsieur. But, pardon me, I in
advertantly caught sight of a name on the letter
—a woman’s name, Reine Lagarde.”
“VYhat is that name to you?”
“I know it. It i3 nearly connected with a
matter of importance which I must so’ve.”
The workman glanced at him suspiciously.
“Explain the matter, monsieur.”
“I cannot, to a stranger. But to a stranger I
must appeal to help me in my strait. Do you
know the lady named?”
“I do. This is the only question I shall an
swer, unless your right to catechise me is made
plain.”
The expression of distrust grew more eloquent
on the man’s face. Francisque felt maddened
by the idea that this one chance was lost to
him.
“I pray you, monsieur, I pray you, tell me
where the lady can be found.”
Mervale—for Francisque had hit upon his
unknow English rival—Mervale could suppose
but one cause for his persistence. Civilian as
he appeared in garb, Francisque betrayed his
profession by many signs that could not escape
the Englishman’s perception, marvelously quick
ened in aught that concerned his love. He im
mediately arrived at the conclusion that the
documents entrusted to his sister by Paul had
brought her Into danger again. He had a vague
feeling that their possession had implicated her
in one of the many conspiracies against public
peace and social order, that, he bad excellent
reasons to know, had been simmeriug in every
quarter of Paris for the last four months. This
stranger was manifestly in the army. Army
officers wers not seldom employed in such mis
sions. He was Reine’s enemy !
Directly he had made this his own
mind, he changed his tactics.
“I believe you, monsieur.” ho said. “I be
lieve you have some important and legitimate
object in view in seeking the yo.ng lady.”
“And you will help me ?” said Francisque,
eagerly.
“Alas ! monsieur, you saw me brooding over
that letter. I was trying to discover the very
thing you ask me to disclose—her where
about.”
“What 1 you don’t known it ?”
“Listen, monsieur,” proceeded Mervale, rapid
ly concocting a credible story. “The poor girl
was an acquaintance of my wife. She couldn’t
find much to do during the siege. She was no
better off when the armistice came. She want
ed to leave Paris, to go to her native village, I
think. Well, you know what women are. My
wil’e and she qarreled about the matter; my
wife wanted her to remain in Paris. And,
about a fornigbt ago, poor Reine wrote to say
that she was leavi 'g Paris ; thanked us for our
kindness, but said Paris hai been too hard upon
her—she must go home. We don’t know where
her home is ; and—and we had quite taken a
fancy to the poor thing, willul as she was.”
Francisquo’s face brightened, as
think I have a clue now. Thanks —thinks my
friend 1 You have relieved me of a grieat trou
ble.”
Mervale was rather surprised, but still con
gratulated himself upon his ingenuity in throw
ing the inquirer off' the scent.
Francisque hurried off to the Northern Sta
tion.
“I shall find her at Arques,” he irurmured
breaking out into exultant snatches of songs at
moments.
At his lodgings an official letter was await
ing him. He scarcely glanced at it, but took
some money, and hastened to the station.
There an unwonted activity reigned. There
were despatch boxes in every corner, crowds of
chean-shaven, official-looking personages, book
ing for Versailles.
While awaiting his turn at the pigeon-hole,
he broke the seal of his letter.
It was an immediate recall from the Ministry
of AYar. He was appointed to General Yinoy’s
staff
Dazed and sick at heart, he gazed around him.
What did the rumors—what did the crowds
mean ? He recognized a brother officer—a com
rade in arms in Africa—in the throng, and went
toward him quickly.
“What is the matter? What is the meaning
of all this ?”—an and he showed his recall.
“Why, where have you been, asleep this last
month, men iher? The mob is in possession of
Paris; we’re retreating; the Government has
left for Versailles.”
“Oh, Heaven, I must go !” groaned Fran
cisque.
“Egad, you must! They’d shoot you like a
mad dog in a day or two ! There ! do you hear
that?”
Francisque heard warm angry voices crying
threats and insults from the station place and
the adjacent street
lie rushed instinctively to the train with Irs
friend. The mob was forcing its way into the
station.
He saw a press of figures in blouses. He
heard loud, mocking cries. Choqtiard wa3 in a
front rank, and cried louder than the rest.
“Good riddance—good riddance! The ca
pitulards !”
Fate had stepped between him and his love
once again.
