A Story of the French Commune.
BY EVELYN .JEi SOLD.
CHAPTER XXlV.—[Continued. ]
He signified to the soldiers that he w ished to
be alone with the prisoner for a few moments.
They retired.
Then turning to Michon, he said, “You have
heard the charge. This letter proves, or denies
it—ns I choose. And you and I have a little
business to transact before you are free.”
Michon began a trembling supplication.
“Stop! I said business. You are m the pay
of the Countess de Chayolles ?”
“Yes.”
“She is rich ?”
“Yes!”
“By wliat means ?”'
“By the Count’s will, 1 suppose.”
“And that will? Oh, your start! You would
not make a good diplomatist, M, Michon. k Your
forte is police-spying.”
“What monsieur ! you would not— —”
“I would though—would immediately ac
quaint the Delegate ol Police with the f ct that
M. Michon was one ot the police spies of the
Imperial Government,”
“M. Marcus, spare me!”
“It is possible 1 may. But let us return to
that will. Did you sec it?”
“Yes, sir.”
A cold perspiration broke out on the prison
er’s forehead. But at hist he answered, “My
wife and I.”
“A singular choice, M. Michon ! Now, who
wtotc that will ?”
The concierge could not see that those were
guesses—could not see that the Jew had started
from a mere vague supposition o', his own; and
had only become sure of the truth of his sur
mises by the help of what he had extorted from
the prisoner.
He saw nothing but a wild mob shooting the
spy to deatn, leveled muskets, his own form
propped against the wall; and he blurted out
everything. He described Juliet’s conspiracy,
the part he had played in it, the result it had
yielded.
Marcus listened stolidly, taking notes of dates,
ntunes, etc.; and when the confession was at an
CiVi, he called to the soldiers to come back, and
directed that the prisoner was lo be kept in
confinement until further orders.
But lie had neglecte I one precaution.
Madame Michon appeared an hour after Mar
cus had left the llctel de Villa, and asked lo be
admitted to see her husband.
“There’s no order to the contrary,” said the
corporal.
And the woman was admitted.
Michon had by Ibis time reflected that to give
up his mistress was to dt nouuee himself ns an
accomplice in the forgery. Asa police spy, he
might be happy again under another Govern
ment; as a forger, he was as badly off under
the Bonnpnrtes as under the Commune. So he
hurriedly communicated to his wife all that had
been devulged. And, in a few minutes, Madame
Michon’s stout figure was being conveyed to the
Champs Elyaees as rapidly as two cab horses
could draw her.
Juliet was warned that night.
CHAPTER XXV.
THU COUNTER-PLOT.
“Oh! mndame, madnme!” cried the woman
Micliou, breaking into Juliet's boudoir; “inv
poor Miclion —my poor Michon!”
• Your .Michon may lie in the last stage of
penury,” said Juliet, impatiently; “but that is
no excuse for disobeying my orders.”
“Michon sent me to you, Madame.”
“Sent you? Where is ho? He ought to be
at Versailles at this hour,”
“Oh, madnme, they have taken him ! He’s at
the Hotel de Yilie. ’
“Taken him!” said Juliet, guessing at what
had occurred. “On what charge !”
“Asa spy. A letter was found on him ad
dressed to a Versailles officer. Mv poor Michon!”
“Well!”
“Oh ! and he bade me tell you that to save
his life, he had been forced to tell all—all !”
“All what!”
“The will—the Comte.”
At last, the Belle America hie winc-od and turned
pale. Had it come to this? The-price of
such plots; such crimes, to be lost by a dull
groom’s blundering cowardice! She vv.is brave
and strong of nerve; but a course, vulgar ifc
nouement at tlie assizes made her shrink and
flutter.
She elicited from Mndame Michon all the con
cierge had confided to his wife; and then lia-ti
ly ordered her to seek De Boisrobert, and bring
him instantly to the hotel.
The ingenious chevalier t" Industrie had thought
it advisable to remain in close retirement since
the outbreak of the Commune; but lie kept
within reach of Juliet, for prudential reasons.
Indeed, ho would have left Paris weeks before,
had he not considered that such a proceeding
would endanger his share of the Comte’s for
tune He was waiting ibr money, that with no
exemplary patience, it was a primary maxim
ot his simple code of morality, that to secure
the payment, of a debt, ore must hold the knife
to the debtor’s throat.
He up; eared, therefore, in a few minutes, and
Iras immediately informed of wlmt had taken
place.
“Stop!” he cried; “the first, tiling- to be ascer-
who questioned that promising retainer
of yours? Red you outi much faith in mc-as
you did in him, this might posibly not lve
happened.”
“Who questioned him ?” Oil ! a member of
the Commune —Marcus, I think.”
“Of course, by Jove ! Marcus! T know that
gentleman’s biography. Ho lodged at the Rue
Caumartin —’tis the rascal who look a fancy to
that girl Iteine. Well, i took a fancy to him,
in a platonic ad detective fashion. 1 think I
know the man. Just before lie evacuated the
Rue Caumartin, 1 got my friend Michon to ad
mit. me to the Jew’s second floor. The only
things that rewarded my curiosity were two
small objects, which then simply struck me as
being inappropriate to his surroundings and
manner of life, but which now furnish a good
clue to his identity; a small, very small white
glove with initials inside, and a common por
trait-carte.”
Where are they ?’’
“In my pocket-book, perhaps. I generally
keep such things about me. Ay! here they
are! .
“My portrait?” cried Julia; “my glove !’’
“I)o you guess ?”
“Give me a/moment. Yes, yes!” said she,
after & pause. Oh, we are in merciful hands,
Clement! The glove has only two buttons—it
must be five cr fix years old. The portrait is
one of Nadar's; and I have had no photograph
taken there for five years at least. It is the
glove Gerstain gave me in one of his fondling
litf* it is the portrait I gave him.”
“Exactly. Now hear what use can lie made
of these two sentimental relics. Fancy the
poor old fool keeping them in spite of every
thing ! Oh, they were ail Chevaliers Bayard in
that generation!”
“Enough satire,” said Juliet, abruptly. “They
re all chevaliers (''lndustrie in this!”
There was yet enough of the woman in her to
shrink from this species of m wkery.
“Well we must meet M. or Citizen
Marcus, with a counterplot—and that a bold
one. Denounce him as a usurer, a swindler a
felon, a false democrat; and I answer tor the
rest. The circle of my aequviiituuoe includes
a few liberal-minded gent emeu, nho, for u
slight consideration, will hound on ainobagainsi
a man so- denounced. The result will lie tlie i
total and eternal eclipse of M. Gerstain, alias
Marcus.”
.Juliet shuddered; butshesaid. readily enough,
“So be it. When will you act?”
“Immediately ! I will operate a slight change
of costume; and, this afternoon, the trick will
be clone, should an opportunity serve.”
All that afternoon, in truth, Marcus was fol
lowed by a loafing idler >n a blouse. He was
busy, and gave the spy not a little trouble. The
affairs of the Commune were growing black
and dismal. Defeat was without tlie wal's, dis
sension within. No ingenuity could- gioze over
the ill news that can e in hourly from the out
posts; no individual faith and fervor could
teach the dispirited, ill-fed, ill-disciplined sol
diery to hope and combat. The future of the
Commune looked blurred in the smoke ol in
cendiarism, in the vapor of blood.
At last, Clement saw an opportunity. He had
followed Marcus to the Place de la Bourse; and
here the Jew’s horse was stopped by a vast crowd
of National Guards, workmen, and women. The
populi.ee were exasperated against its elect;
and that easy cry of “Treason !” was raised
again. Marcus still retained his popularity;
bin Clement saw that it need but a word to turn
the voice of the multitude against this Eole re
maining favorite.
The crowd, surging and swerving about the
Bourse steps, caught a sight of Marcus. lie was
hailed with eager cries.
“.Speak to the people, Citizen Representant!
Speak to the people !”
Obeyir-g the behest, the Jew mounted the
Bourse steps, and proceeded to say a few words,
advising patience, moderation, fortitude.
“Ay! patience!” muttured Clement to a
blouse. “And that’s the man who cheated
■ thousands a few years ago—that’s Gerstain, the
banker!”
He continued in this strain. Tlie people were
discontented. The rumor spread, rose, swelled
to a cry, to a yell.
“Enough ! enough ! —swindler—Jew—usurer
—thieri Enough, Gerstain! Down with the
banker!”
Marcus’ face paled. He was silent a moment,
then said, slowly, “Of what am I accused, citi
zens? and by whom ?”
Clement saw that none would speak—that the
Jew’s firm attitude had already half subdued
tire rumor. So reluctantly, for a moment, he
ro.se on a cafe chair, arid cried, “I accuse yo i of
being the swindler, the fraudulent bankrupt,
Ger.-tain, of Gerstain and Cos!”
Marcus could scarcely discern bis accuser’s
face, but h s heard tlie words, and felt that the
moment had come when he must plead for his
life.
He stood erect, fie asked for silence with a
wave of tlie hand, and said, in deep, ringing
tones. “This is true, citizens. But hear me.
You know if towards you 1 have acted against
the spirit of sacred words, Equality, Fraternity,
ft' any of you whom I helped, to the best of my
power, in bjginc days, be present here, they
will bid you hear me. 1 am tlie banker, Ger
stain. A woman who lias danced at Imperial
ba.ls, who flaunted her luxury in your faces,
whom you all know by name, entrapped me, en
tangled me, led me to ruin and dishonor. 1 em
barked my fortune, the fortune of ot hers, in mines
belonging to her. These mines were worthless,
and she knew it. I loved her, and she cast me
off when 1 had served her vile purpose. 1 make
this no excuse, no plea of pardon. But the few
words i am about to add may bear weight with
you. 1 have toiled six years in utter poverty,
with the blight of shame upon me; mid, citi
zens, to-day I can say I have made the utmost
amends in my power. Every debt, even to the
smallest of Gcrstaiu’s bank was paid yesterday,
with interest ot six per cent.”
Loud cheers interrupted the speaker.
He continued :
“I have been sorely punished citizens, and I
have done what i could to atone for my crime.
Is this enough ? Do suffering and atonement
cleanse us ? Am I worthy to speak in your
name, to lead you to the barricades, to die in
your front ranks ? Answer. 1 await the ver
dict of |he sovereign people!”
Addressed to -. French mob, such words could
have but one effect. There was a wild cry of
applause. A thousand caps were lifted, a thou
sand hands waved “Courage!’ and “Pardon!”
“ l ive It Commune ' Vive Citizen Marcus!”
Then Marcus rose again, and cried, “But he
who accires me! Let him come forward.”
A pale, livid face rose above tlie sea of heads
A weak, cadavereus form pushed through the
crowd to the Bogrse steps.
“Who are you ?” cried Marcus. “Was it you
accused mi' ?”
“I accuse no honest man like yon, citizen.
My name is Paul Lagarde !”
CHAPTER XXVI.
RETRIBUTION.
An amazed cry rose from several parts of the
crowd. Then a shout of glee.
“Ay, it is—it is Lagarde.”
Systematic vagabondage had made the ne’er
do well acquainted with many strange bed-fol
lows ; one cannot be nice as to the society one
keeps at the sign of the “Belle Etoiie.” So
there were witnesses enough to speak to Paul’s
identity, despite the havoc sickness and priva
tion had made in his face and figure.
He reached tlie topmost step at las!; an ’.then
turned sharply round, and pointing to a spot in
1 *
with the efforts of one terrified man to escape,
he cried.
“Seize that man !”
J dozen hands were laid on the struggling
figure. It was hoisted up, and, blanched by ter
roi, a face appeared above Die level of the
crowd.
“De Boisrobert!" exclaimed Marcus, in a low
voice.
Lagarde heeded him not. Ilis t hin face worked
with passionate hatred.
“This i= Citizen Marcus’ accuser!” he cried.
“Look at him—look at me and hear how fit. he
is to come forward in the cause of virtue 4 His
asrum.-d name i- De Boisrobert. His re 1 name
lie himself know not He wa an idle, disso
lute clerk in a notary’s oliiee ten years ago. He
robbed Iris master, and was condemned to ihe
galleys, lie escaped, after undergoing eighteen
months’ imprisonment, an 1 lived— heaven 1 nows
how —in hiding for two or three months. Then
he appeared in Paris with & little money, and
some lo'ters of introduction ; an.l b.-gan 3'fi
again as M Clement de Boisrobert. Since then
lie has lived as many oilier men of his class live
in Paris. s He played lansquenet with young Eng
lish noblemen, juvenile Russian princes, proud
to know one ot tlie lions of the fashionable
world of Paris. He received pay from tiic secret
service fund of the Empire, lie was a spy and
gamester. Now, hear my personal charge
again.-t him. He had reasons of his own to de
sire my disappearance. He was captain of my
company of Gardes Nationales. Wantonly,
gaily, he sent fifty men on a useless and fatal ex
pedition. in order that I, among tlie fifty, might
lull and be heard of no more. Citizens, 1 was
grievously wounded. T received a ballet in the
breast, and lay as dead for twelve hours. Then
some poor peasants from the village of Boulogne
found roe, took me to their half-ruined cottage,
nursed me through fever, delirium and weak
ness, that made me us a little child. I crept
into Paris as soon as I could move—fouFdays ago
—and sought the villain you hold, to'tear his
black heart from his breast, fhoquard, Za
brinski, if you are here, come forward, and bear
witness against him !’’
“No need !” cried the crowd. “He is judged
His face is enough—look at it?”
And truly his face was twisted and discolored
like that of a man who felt lie deserved no
mercy, and who expected none.
Choqunrd was absent; but Zabrinski come
forward, and gave conclusive evidence.
Th n the fury of tlie m b km-w no bounds.
Women gibed at ihe wretch ; men buffeted
him in the face. Justice, mercy, was forgotten.
The people, had suffered too much at tlie hands
ofvsucb as this man.
But Marcus raised his voice tranquilly, dis
passionately. remarking, ju ily, “The man must
not be condemned unheard. Take him to the
Hotel dc Vide. The courtm-irtinl will decide.”
Paul admitted no such plea. Fie rose again,
and cried, “Hear one word more, first. Who
was at the cafe of the ‘Three Blind Men’ one
night, when a spy was unmasked by C'noquard?”
“I was !”
“I F’
“I!”
Many among the crowd claimed to have been
present.
“Was this man that spy?”
“Ay, it was he ! ’ cried the former conspira
tor, recognizing the spy at iast.
The crowd was dragging its prey away, but,
oy a gesture, Paul implored another moment.
He drew a letter from iris pocket, and read the
denunciation of Francisquc as a Republican,
penned by Clement de Boisrobert.
“There !” cried Lagarde—“compare that with
hifilmndwriting.”
And he threw the paper to the group that
surrounded the spy.
Clement’s pockets were searched in a moment.
A note-book was found. The handwritings
were compased. A mad rush—and the crowd
was hurrying to the Palais Royal, with the spy
in its centre.
In those quiet, laughing gardens of Philippe
Egalite’s palace, a summary act of justice was
about to be accomplished.
Six National Guards were hastily chosen by
the crowd.
The culprit was dumb with despair. He sub
mitted sullenly to be pushed against the railings
of the square. He started vacantly when lie
was ordered to kneel.
Then, suddenly, his eyes brightened vindic
tively. Choquard’s tall form appeared on the
margin of the crowd.
“Cue moment!” the spy said, huskily—“one
moment, citizens. If l am to die, I’ll die in
good company.”
The blouses stared at him in amazement.
“Off with iris head !” said one, eontemptous'y.
“White-livered at the end ! These are the offi
cers who sent honest working-men to death!”
“No, no 1” said Clement “Then in a loud
voice, he added, pointing to Choqunrd,“You see
that brave staff officer? You are judges here—
eh? Well, seize him as a thief—a thief! It was
he who robbed the Castle Ch ivolies five years
ago!”
Choqnard advanced with perfect sc-lf-posses
sion.
“Ay, my friends, I was indiscreet enough to
look into the family secrets of the noble De
Chayolles. This is what 1 discovered.”
lie produced o paper, and read
“ ‘Tlie words lam about to write were intended
to atone for the great siu of my life.’ You don’t
want any sentiment! But firstly,prisoner,where
were you born ?”
“At Rouen,” answered Clement, in a choking
voice.
“Your mother’s name?”
“Hlise Yvon !”
“Good !” Now T will resume my reading.
Hum ! hum ! ‘Prayers—forgiveness—’ That's
not it? Ah, here: ‘I was legally married to
that Norman peasant girl. But, discovering
that before her marriage she had been the
mistress of a gentleman—her father’s landlord
—I abandoned her. She was living when I
married again. I heard of her death several
years ago. Her child—for she bore a child to
me—had disuppeard. This is all the atone
ment 1 can make ; To that child, my son, born
at Rouen, in tlie year 1838, of Hlise Yvon, my
wife, and me, Cumte de -. hayol’es, l leave* the
whole of iny earthly possessions. God send
tiiat he may be found to pardon me ! Signed,
Comte de Chayolles.’ ”
A wild shriek broke from Clement’s lips.
“My father ! It was my father ! Pool! —fool!
Oh, let me live! lam rich! You shall shaie
with rne 1”
The six soldiers advanced in line, and stood
opposite the writhing figure.
“Ob, good gentlemen, you shall be rich! Ycur
children shall be rich ! Comte de Chayolles—
the Comte de Chayolles pledges his word !”
“Present arms!” said Ghoquard, briefly.
“One !”
“Oh, heaven!—rich ! —noble!”
“Two !”
“You can’t vou dare not!”
“Three!”
“Pity—you demons !’’
“Fire !” • ♦
A huddled mass fell against the railing, bleed
ing and writhing.
Two short gasps were heard, and then a gamin
sneered, “Exit Comte de Chayolles 1”
[Yo be Continued.']
A KEMASKABLE set.
Old Farmer Gruff was one morning
tugging away with all his might and
main at a barrel of apples, which he was
endeavoring to get up the cellar stairs,
and calling at thojtop of his lungs for one
of the boys to lend a helping hand, but
in vain.
When he had, after an infinite amount
of sweating and puffing, accomplished
the task, and just when they were not
needed, of course, the boys made their
appearance
“Where have yon bean, and what have
you been about, I’d like to know, that
you couldn’t hear me call ?” inquired the
farmer in an angry tone, and addressing
the eldest.
“Out in the shop settin’ the saw,” re
plied the youth.
“And you Dick?”
“Out in tlie barn settin’ the hen.”
“And you, sir ?"
“Up in granny’s room settin’ of the
clock.”
“And you, young man 1”
“Up in the garret settin’ the trap.”
“And now, master Fred, where were
yon, and what were you settin ?” asked
the old man of the youngest progeny,
the asperity of his temper being some
what softened by this amusing category
. of answers. “Come, let's hear ?”
“On the door step settin’ still,” repli
ed the young hopeful, seriously.
“A remarkable sat I must confess,”
added the amused sire, dispersing the
grinning group with a wave of hand.
