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.
