CHAPTER VII.
THE FALL OP THE HOUSE OF DESPREZ.
The doctor's house has not yet received the
compliment of a description, and it is now
higli time that t he omission were supplied,
for tliu house is itself an actor in the story,
and one whose part is nearly at an end. Two
stories in height, walls of a warm yellow,
tiles of an ancient ruddy brown diversified
with moss and lichen, it stood with one wall
to the street iu the angle of the doctor’s
property. It was roomy, draughty and in¬
convenient. The large raf ters were here and
there engraven with rude marks and pat¬
terns; the handrail of the stair was carved
in Countrified arabesque; a stout timber pil¬
lar, which did duty to support tho dining
room roof, bore mysterious characters on its
darker side, runes, according to the doctor;
nor did lie fail, when Tie ran over tho
legendary history of the house and its pos¬
sessors, to dwell upon the Scandinavian
scholar who had left them. Floors, doors
and rafters had made a groat variety of
angles; every room iiad a particular inclina¬
tion; the gable had tilted toward the garden,
after the manner of a leaning tower, and one
of the former proprietors hail buttressed the
building from the side with a great strut of
wood, like the derrick of a crane. Alto¬
gether, it had many marks of ruin; it was a
house for the rats to desert; and nothing
but its excellent brightness—the window
glass polished and shining, tho paint well
scoured, the brasses radiant, the very prop
all wreathed about with climbing flowers
—nothing, but its air of a well tended, smil¬
ing veteran, sitting, crutch and all, in the
sunny corner of a garden, marked it as a
house for comfortable people to inhabit. In
poor or idle management it would soon have
hurried into the blackguard stages Of decay.
As it was, the whole family loved it, and the
doetor was never better inspired than when
lie narrated its imaginary story and drew
the character of its successive masters, from
the Hebrew merchant who had re-edified its
walls after the sack of the town, and past the
mysterious engraver of the runes, down to
the long headed, dirty handed boor from
whom he had himself acquired it at a ruinous
expense. As for any alarm about its'security,
the idea had never presented itseif. What'
had stood for centuries might well endure a
little longer.
Indeed, in this particular winter, after
the finding and losing of the treasure, the
Desprezes had an anxiety of a very different
order, and one which lay nearer their hearts.
Joan-Marie was plainly not himself. He had
fits of hectic activity, when he made unusual
exertions to please, spoke more and faster,
and redoubled his attention te his lessons.
But these were interrupted by spells of
melancholia and brooding silence, when the
boy was little better than unbearable.
“Silence,” the doctor moralized—“you see,
Anastasie, what comes of silence. Had the
boy properly unbosomed himself, the little
disappointment about the treasure, the little
annoyance about Casimir’s incivility, would
long ago have been forgotten. As it is, they
prey upon him like a disease. He loses flesh,
his appetite is variable, and, on the whole,
impaired. I keep him on the strictest regi¬
men, I exhibit the most powerful tonics,
both in vain.”
“Don’t you think you drug him to:> much?"
asked madame, with an irrepressible shudder.
“Drug?” cried the doctor; “I drug? Ana¬
stasie, you are mad!’’
Time went on, and the boy’s health still
slowly declined. The doctor blamed the
weather, which was cold and boisterous. He
called in his confrere from Bourron, took a
fancy for l;irj, magnified his capacity, and

was pretty soon under treatment hlmseit— it
scarcely appeared for what complaint. Ha
and Jean-Marie had each to take medicine at
different periods of the day. The doctor
used to lie in wait for the exact moment,
watch in hand. “There is nothing like regu¬
larity,” be would say, fill out the doses, and
dilate an the virtues of the draught; and if
the boy seemed none the better, the doctor
was not at ail the worse.
Gunpowder day the boy was particularly
low. It was scowling, squally weather.
Huge broken companies of clouds sailed
swiftly overhead; raking gleams of sunlight
swept the village, and were followed by in¬
tervals of darkness and white, flying rain.
At times the wind lifted up its voice and bel¬
lowed. The trees were all scourging them¬
selves along the meadows, the last leaves fly¬
ing like dust. The doctor, between the boy
and the weather, was in his element; he had
a theory to prove. He sat with his watch
out and a barometer lu front of him, waiting
for the squalls and noting their effect upon
the humau pulse. “For the true philosopher,”
he remarked delightedly, “every fact in na¬
ture is a toy." A letter came to him, but as
its arrival coincided with the approach of
another gust he merely crammed it into hia
pocket, gave the time to Jean-Marie, and the
next moment they were both counting their
pulses as if for a wager.
At nightfall the wind rose into a tempest
It besieged tho hamlet, apparently from
every side, as if with batteries of cannon; the
houses shook and groaned; live coals were
blown upon the floor. The uproar and terror
of the night kept people long awake, sitting
with pallid faces giving ear.
It was 13 before the Desprez family retired.
By 1:30, when the storm was already some¬
what past its height, tho doctor was awak¬
ened from a troubled slumber, and sat up. A
noise still rang in bis ears, but whether of
this world or the world of dreams he was not
certain. Another clap of wind followed. It
was accompanied by a sickening movement
of the whole house, and in the subsequent
lull Desprez could hear the teles pouring like
a cataract into the loft above his head. Ha
plucked Anastasie bodily out of bed.
“Run!” he cried, thrusting some wearing
apparel into her hands; “the house is falling 1
To the garden!” f
She did not pause to be twice bidden; she
was down the stair in an instant. She had
never before suspected herself of such activ¬
ity. The doctor meanwhile, with tho speed
of a piece of pantomime business, and unde¬
terred by broken shins, proceeded to rout out
Jean-Marie, tore Aline from her virgin slum¬
bers, seized her by the, hand and tumbled
down stairs and into the garden, with the
girl tumbling behind him, still not half
awake.
The fugitives ’rendezvoused in the arbor
by some common instinct. Then came a bull's
eye flash of struggling moonshine, which
disclosed their four figures standing huddled
from the wind in a raffle of flying drapery,
and not without a’ considerable need for
•more. At the humiliating spectacle
Anastasie clutched her night dress desperately
about her and burst loudly into tears. The
doctor flew to console her; but she elbowed
him away. She suspected everybody of
being the general public, and thought the
darkness was alive with eyes.
Another gleam and another violent gust
arrived together; the house was seen to rock
on its foundation, and, just as Jthe light was
once more eclipsed, a crash which triumphed
over the shouting of the wind announced its
fall, and for a moment the whole garden was
alive with skipping tiles and brickbats. One
such missile grazed tho doctor’s ear; an¬
other descended on. the bare foot of Aline,
who instantly mndo night hideous with her
shrieks.
By this time the hamlet was alarmed,
lights flashed from the windows, hails
reached the party, and the doctor answered,
nobly contending against Aline and the
