"THE MASTER OF TREMLAYS" AN HISTORICAL ROMANCE OFTHE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. I PART IL CHAPTER nI. In the meantime. Jude 'had endeavoured to ftd hig -way in the wilderness, and at length £ the savage ravine that we already *«ow under the name of the Wolf Pit. The fllCe of the honest squire wore a grave and sa.d expression. He was, doubtless, thinking I ihat the last time he visited the spot was in the oompany of his late master. Having carefully looked around to assure ^njgelf that he was quite alone, lie entered tha hollow trunk of the old oak and found ♦here a few remnants of cask-hoops, and nearly ..11 the tools of Jean Blanc, which from their ^»ted oondition had evidently not been used f<* a long time. He .seized a mattock, and at once commenced 13 labours. Whilst he worked there was an •^perceptible movement in the bushes, and the heads of two men, masked in a fragment of lVolf-skin, showed themselves. A third head, 1Q white mask, appeared at the same instant "i the opposite thicket. The tlin?e men thus ngely disguised, rapidly exchanged a sign ^intelligence. The one in the whits mask Qrder of some kii»d, for the two oilers nmediately retired into their hiding-pla<*«. «eli te. noiselessly extended him- towax^°I«,S crawled oautiously jj 6 tr £ e. which was slowly reached. mri„ en rose' peeped through one of the *ires ^hat timg bad made in tb« trunk of the old oak. He removed his mask for an instant to enable him to see better, and re- vealed a face covered with black and smoke. It was Pierre Rouan, the charcoal burner. Jude worked away, and little imagined, that an inquisitive eye followed each of his move- ments. At the end of some minutes thE mattock re-boundted upon a hard and sonorous substanoe. Jude drew out the iron coffer thai Nioolas Treme had buried, and, having ex- amined it an instant, took a key from the pocket of his doublet. At this instant, Pierre Rouan noiselessly crawled back to his hiding-place. It was well for him he did so, for J'ude, on the point of opening the coffer, changed his mind, and walked round the oak, casting an anxious look in every direction. He saw no ono; re-entered the hollow trunk and unlocked the coffer. Everything was in it, untouched as on the day of the deposit. The old squire could not repress an exclamation of joy in thinking that, with this, George Treme would be able to recover his entire inheritance. But an expression of sadness soon re-placed his joyful smile. Where was George Treme? Anxious to reach the chateau, to ascertain, if possible, the fate of the child, h.e carefully concealed the coffer as before, and hastened to the spot where Didier was awaiting him. I Pierre Rouau, howeyer, kept his eye upon ? him until he disappeared.—"It is Jude," he muttered. "Jude, the esquire of Treme! He has left the coffer' I will see this night what it contains. In the meantime our people must not suspect this mystery, or they will antici- pate me." When Jude was out of sight, ths two masked men left the thicket and rushed towards the oak. They removed the tools, examined every crevice in the trunk, and found nothing. These two men were wolves. "Master," they said, touching their caps, "What have you seen." Pierre Roua.n shrugged his shoulders. "It is a great pity you don't inhabit the good town of Vitrie," he said, "you are as curious as old women. I have seen a clown dig up two dozen pieces of six livres that he had buried in this spot." The two Wolves looked at each other. "That makes six louis d'ors," grumbled one of them; "andl there are, pe*haps, others." "Search," said Pierre Rouan, with affected indifference. "I will watch in your place. The two Wolves hesitated an instant, then touched their caps and regained their posts. "It is well," said Pierre Rouan, putting on his white mask again; "but remember this— when I am there my eyes watch with yours; I can pardon an instant of negligence. When I am away, negligence becomes treason, and you know how I punish traitors. Now mark! Soldiers have been seen in the forest, and, perhaps, oven at this moment the eyss of enemies are examining the depths of this ravine. The least imprudence may betray the secret of our retreat. Beware The charcoal-burner pronounced these words in an imperious toue.. The two Wolves replied humbly, "Master, we will watch." Pierre Rouan took the two pistols that hung at his girdle, and hid- them under his vest- ments. "I am going to the ohateau," he said, "to learn what we -have to fear from the King's people. I shall return this night," and, climb- ing the slope with a rapid step, he disappeared behind the forest trees. "There are but the White Wolf and1 the dnvil that can run like that," muttered one of the sentinels. "f should like to search yonder oak more carefully." "So should I," replied his companion; "but it would be as much as our lives are worth to attempt it." In consequence of wiiieli the two wolv.es resigned themselves to keep strict watch. Jude traversed the thicket with his mind greatly relieved. Marie and Didier heard him approach. They had been together more than two hours, but time passes quickly with lovers "Adieu," said Marie; "adieu! Thou wilt not leave me again, wilt thou ?" "Never," replied the captain with a kiss, as Jude made his appearance. "Well, my good fellow," said Didier, who was now alone, "hast thou found the treasure ?" "God has it in his keeping," replied Jude. "So much the better! Now to the chateau!" exolaimed Didier. "I rely upon the aid thou hast promised me," said Jude. "And thou art right, my good fellow: I will do my utmost. Explain to me a little what thou expectest of me?" "In the first place," said Jude, "although twenty have elapsed since I last put foot in the tfrnteua of Tremlays, it is pMeible someone there may recognise me. I would rather then not enter until dark." "Be it eo. The "vw-ather is fine; we will wait in the forest. But you seem to forget that there will ba Ifights in the chateau when we arrive." "True," dolefully1 murmured poor Jude. "I did not think of that." "There is still a way of arranging the matter," resumed the captain with a smile. "We shall arrive muffled up in our travelling cloaks, and I wit find some pretext for pro- tecting thee against inqusitive regards. After After ?| reipxyalil^dj Jude, emharrased "After, I will endeavour to learn, one way or another what has become of my Young master." ° "Good: we will try what we can do," re- plied Didier. Herve de Vauiioy and his daughter Alice were in the saloon with Mademoiselle Olive de Vaunoy, the sisfcer of Herve; and the Marquess Bechamst" of Nointel, comptroller- royal of the impost. They were all ucnacquainted with the name of the new captain, and Didier's appearance in that character greatly astonished them. Jude, however, raKiained at the door, muffled to the ears in hw mantle. The young offtosr advanced into the room with the graceful ease of one long accustomed to high society. Alice changed colour on seeing him, and supported he:rs"IJf on the arm of her chair. Herve assumed this benign .smile. "Saint-Dieu My young friend," cried be in a, most cordial tone, "you are heartily wel- come." Didier thanked him, and having kisssd the t hands of œ Indies, and coldly bowed to the marquess, seated himself near the Master of Tremlays. "His Majesty's commission," he said, "leaves m.9 the option of choosing between the hospitality of ti¡,e Marquees of Nointel and yours. I thought you would not be dis- pleased to receive me for a few days." "I am delighted to see you, my dear young friend." "I thank you, and request that my valet may be at once shown to the chamber I am to occupy." "But he shad first take an evening sup with Master Alain, my steward," said Herve de Vaunoy. At the TarMe of Alain, Jude turned (pale. "My valet is ill," replied the captain; "what he requires is a good bed and repose." "As you pleas-s, my young friend," said Herve, summoning a domestic. "Prepare a bed for this good fellow, and treat him in every respect as the servant of a man whom I honour and* love." Didier bowed, and Juda followed the domestic. Twenty years had very little altered the smiling debonair features of Herve de Vaunoy. MadamoB,«.elle Olive, his sister, was a. withered old maid who had been ugly in .her youth. Alice bore no resemblance to either of them. She wa3 a. noble creature—tall, and exqusitely formed, with finely-moulded features of a pen- sive rather than a melancholy oast. But her beauty was more than equalled by the match- less qualities ot her head and heart. Herve de Vaunoy had married a year after the departure of Nicolas Treme. His wife died at the expiration of eighteen months; and Alice was the only fruit of their union. She was now eighteen years of age. Bechameil, the Marquess of Nointel, had numerous and important oooiuMutinog in Brit- tany. His office of comptroller-royal of the impost made him. greatly dreaded by those whoso pretensions to nobility wera doubtful, as it invested him with the right of investigating their titles to this distinction; and very necessarily so, as the nobility, being exempt from the payment of the impost, many plebeians assumed the rank merely to avoid the tax. Vaunoy's family papers would ill bear an investigation of this nature. Having assumed the name of Treme, and even quartered his doubtful arms on their escutcheon, he had too much to fear, not to seek, in every way, to conoilitate his judge. Happily for him, Bechameil met him three parts of the way by falling violently in love with Alice, whom he wished to make his wife. This did not prevent Vaunoy from favouring, in some degree, the intimacy which had established itself at Rennea between the young gorl and Didier. Vaunoy had, doubtless, his reasons for that. The evening meal is always an important feature in Breton hospitality. At the ex- piration of some minutes the steward, decorated! with his official silver chain, threw open the folding-doors to announce the supper. "We will speak of business to-morrow," said M. de Vaunoy, gaily. "Now let us sup." Alice rose, and. by instinot, extended her hand to Didier. It was Bechameil who took it;, the captain contenting himself with the bony figures of Mademoiselle Olive. During supper, M. de Vaunoy frequently pledged his young friend the captain, ex- changing, aa he did eo, more than one equivocal glance with Master Alain, to whom he gave an order, in a low tone, towards the end of the repast. The steward transmitted this order to an ill-favoured valet that Vaunoy had enticed from the preceding year from the servioe of the governor of the province, and who was called: Lapierre. In the meantime Bechameil paid h:s accustomed court to Alice, who d'd not listen to him, but from time to time threw a sad and reproachful glance towards Didi.?r. who I chatted assiduously with Mademoiselle Olive. Herve himself conducted the captain to the door of his chamber and wished him good- night. Juclg was still up. "Well," said his master to him, "hwt thou learnt anything?" "Nothing respecting the child: and it is a bad omen! But I know that Dame Goton, who was little master's nurse, is now house- keeper in the chateau. "Shs will give the information, rely upon it," said the oaptain. "I know, also, that I shall be unable to conceal myself much longer, for I have seen an enemy—Alain, the ancient steward of Treme." "I can say as much, my .good fellow. I have seen the face of a knave who was the valet of the governor of Brittany, my noble pritector, and I strongly suspect he was one of the thres scoundrels who attacked me one night in the streets of Rennes; but we will un- ravel all this. In the meantime let us sleep." "Sleep!" exclaimed Jude. The captain threw himself upon his bed. Jude watohed. The captain slept, dreaming, perhaps by turns, of the noble Alice and the 'humble forest girl. Jude lay awake, pondering on the best mea.ns of discovering the h&ir of Treme. M. de Vaunoy, old Alain, and the valet Lapierre, held a midnight consultation in the (private room of the 'Master of Trern- lay«. I ,1 -Lapierre, a truculent looking knava, a about fifty years of ag.?, originally from the I southerly part of Anjou. a soil particularly prolific in vagalxmds and mountebanks, had exercised, until his twenty-fifth year, the ■ double calling of quack and juggler. It was ? abouc this time he entered the service of ths ( Count of Toulouse as valet and footman. ? He then had w.ith him a young and re- markably handsome child, whom the count made his page, and subsequently one of liiii suite. Lapierie, who remained only valet, conceived a violent grudge against the child, ? formerly his slave and now his ^up.eriG-r. ? When the oount was residing at Rennes at governor of Brittany, Lapierre c-a-lled upon '? Vaunoy at his hotel, and requested a private « interview. Their conference was long, and Vaunoy more than once changed colour at the ',? words of the late quack, and the latter, op ? leaving, received a well-filled purse. A fev ?. days afterwards Vaunoy took him into bit service. It was from thus moment t.hat the Mastflfc of Tremlays began to show attention to Did'ol-. It was a few weeks afterwards that the latt, ? was treacherously attacked in the streets ci ? Rennes. ■S The clock of the chateau had long sounded ''I midnight. Herve de Vaunoy paced the room j in violent ag-itatibn. "Saint-Dieu! he cried angrily, addressing H his two companions, "you were three against one!—in the night, too; three good rapiers against a dress-sword, and you missed him t" "I should have liked to have seen yon M] there," growled' Lapierre, showing a deep scar -1 on his breast. "He fought like a devil; and I Joachim, our poor compaion, was left dead ua A the spot—Heaven rest his soul!" .? <To be continued.) 1
