PUBLISHED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT. THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY By GEORGE OHNET, Author of "The Ironmaster," "Serge Panine," &c. ————————— [COPYRIGHT.] PART 1. SYNOPSIS —The French Minister of War deceives in audience Colonel Va-llenot. who explains to him in detail the result of his examination of the wrecked house of General de Tremont. Tremont had but recently dis- covered a new explosive, the possession of which would give absolute supremacy to any country. Under mysterious circum-, stances his house at Vanves had been blown up. The General, it was found, had been stabbed to death before the explosion. On the evening of the disaster, he had enter- tained two unknown persons-a man called Hans. and a, woman known as "Baroness." The woman is suspected of being a foreign spy, who had won Tremont's affection for the purpose of obtaining possession of the secret of the new explosive. The woman was known to have left before the explosion; the man not until afterwards, one of his arms having been found in the ruins. Tremont is related to the great banking firm of Baradier and Graff, and the story proceeds to connect the members of that firm with its sensational and tragic inci- dents. There is also brought into the story one Lichtenbach (son of a Jew, who made huge sums during the Franco-German War), a powerful financier, who. having one time been a, suitor for Graff's sister, now Madame Baradier, is shown to be animated with the most deadly animosity towards the members of that firm. Lichtenbach, it suggested, is at the bottom of the Tremont Tragedy. (The story began in the Evening Express" for May 3.) CHAPTER V. "We shall not need to spend much time over this matter!" And yet matters were dragging along slowly. For a whole week. M. Maycur had multiplied his investigation*, sent out detec- ttive after detective, nmmoned witnesses, and fulfilled judicial commisaionw. Nothing came of it all. As he expressed it, he was moving about in a thick fog, from which he could not escape. Every evening the Government agent sent for him, and asked in tones of satire: "Well! Mayeur, where are we now?" And the' magistrate, accustomed as he was to success, found himself obliged to reply: "Ah! air, we are still on the look-out, but we have found nothing yet." "Ah! Ah! The deuce! A week already flown since the crime was committed. Your chances are diminishing. In proportion as time passes, false tracks appear, and the scent becomes fainter. Ah! Ah! I expected a better result from you! As a rule, your in. spiration is clearer." "But there is nothing whatever to take hold of—not the slightest clue in the cursed affair!" I "What! Nothing? You have the corpse of the victim, the house in ruins, and the arm I of the assassin! What are you doing with this latter? It ought to reveal something." "For the present it is in the frigorific appa- ratus," growled M. Mayeur. "But neither corpse, nor house, nor arm gives me the slightest results. An evil genius seems to have passed over everything, carrying with it death and mutilation, and leaving nothing behind. It is enough to drive one mad!" "Gently, Mayeur, keep a cool head, what- ever happens. Persevere. Ah! you have been spoiled by success, but do not be discouraged; at any moment light may flash on the whole affair, and clear up everything." What caused M. Mayear the gwatat chag- rin was that. he was perfectly aware of the secret pleasure his want of success gave all his colleagues. A magistrate who had failed in so important an investigation; how could be expect to be nominated to the Assize Court, contrary to all normal promotion, if be had no longer his invariable good luck as his supreme justification? And, seated in his study, with his bacfk to the light, looking vacantly into the fire, whilst his clerk ran the risk of dislocating his jaw with too much gaping, M. Mayeur, to satisfy his con- science, in mournful accents, questioned one of his agents, who had returned after a fruit- less search: "So there was no trace of the wounded man having passed through the cottage gardens, nor on the road to Paris?" "No. sir. I have visited all the inns fre- quented by the quarrymen and gardeners of the district. No one could give me any definite information. One would imagine the murderer had been annihilated by the ex- plosion itself." "Nothing of the kind! He was tracked to within three hundred paces from the Tre- mont property, and there a trail of blood, quite visible, which he had left all the way, suddenly disappeared. Did he, at that spot, find his accomplices waiting for him? Was he carried off? How and where? Nothing but darkness and obscurity!" "Those who committed the crime are not professional thieves, although the General has been robbed of objeots of value he car- ried on his person. Accordingly, they will not be found so easily. That is where the whole difficulty comes in." The magistrate gave a gesture of discon- tent, as though to signify that he knew all that. Stroking his beard, he said, with a sigh: "You may go now. Send me Baudoin, the General's servant, whom I have sent for afresh." The agent bowed, and left tbs room. A moment after the door epened again, and the valet's resolute, intelligent face appeared. He already sympathised with the clerk, who gave him a friendly nod. The magistrate said, in sulky tones: "Take a seat, M. Baudoin. I have disturbed you once more, with the object of explaining certain details which I find incomprehensible." "Do not apologise, sir; it is no disturbance if it is for anything concerning the General. Ah! I should only be too happy if I could give you any efficient help in your task How could this servant throw light on a mystery which he, Mayeur, could not succeed in unravelling? Well, it could not be helped. The clerk seemed overjoyed at his master's humiliation. He had been worrying him long enough with his lack of capacity. A striking failure would make him less self-confident, and he would be a little-more indulgent towards bit, subordinate, whom he always appeared to look upon as an imbecile. Fume away. my good master! That will not help you much. And the clerk gave another mighty yawn. "This woman you saw leave the carriage at the door of the house—was she tall or short?" "Rather tall. But as she was wrapped in a I large mantle I could not say precisely. By the I way in which she descended from the carriage, I should imagine she was rather slender in build." "And her companion?" "Oh! her companion; I saw him distinctly. He was a strong man. with a thick beard, light- complexioned, and brutal in appearance. He wore a grey felt, hat and a dark suit. His accent was foreign, and-" "Do you think it is the man you master called Hans?" asked the magistrate. "It could be no one else. The General received no one, except his friends, Messieurs Baradier and Graff. The people who came on different occasions at night to the villa must have been regular villains for him not to per- mit me to stay with him." "What do you consider the reason of this pre- caution on the part of M. de Tremont?" "The fact that he would see me trying to fathom the plots of this lady and her acolyte." "Then, in your opinion, it is a feminine in- trigue which is at the root of the matter?" "Apparently, yes." "And in reality?" "It was their object to steal from the General his formulae for the manufacture of his new powders." I "Then the woman wa.s only an interme- diary?" "An intermediary, no. They well knew the General would never consent to a. bargain. A bait* yea. I did not see the woman, bat every time she came she left the General's study im- pregnated with a peculiar perfume of a very captivating odour. Oh! I should recognise it amongst a hundred! The woman's voice, too, was caressing and seductive. Ah! my poor master! She knew what power she had over him. That woman was capable of anything— of driving mad a brave warm-hearted man like my master, of pouring over him the poison of her looks and smiles, and having him cruelly killed for some cause I know nothing of. As for the man Hans, he was only an a-gent—a well-informed man. for the General respected his opinions, and could speak with him of his discoveries, but not of the same social position as his accomplice. He was an ordinary, even a rough individual. The woman's whole pres- tige must have been demanded to have had him received by M. de Tremont. who was so aristocratic." "And you could never find" out, by means of the cook who remained in the house, what took place when you had left the house?" "No, she was of a very dull intellect. Out- side of her work, there was very little to be obtained from her. That is the reason M. de Tremont had no cause to mistrust her. All the same. she saw the woman on several occasions, and told me that she was a miracle of beauty- young, light-complexioned. with eyes that would have damned a saint. She spoke with the General in a foreign language. Now the General could only speak English and Italian." "Was your master rich?" "No, sir, he had a very modest fortune- about twenty thousand francs income. But his discoveries were very valuable. And it was these the woman was aiming at. In all pro- bability, whilst she was with the General, her accomplice was examining the papers and searching among the products." "You never found any paper dealing with the relations of the General with this woman?" "Never." "What became of the telegrams the General received telling him of the ad-rival of his visitors?" "The General burnt them himself. I saw him do it. Ah! every precaution was taken by my brave master not to compromise the fair Baroness. God knows how he loved her! He trembled like a atodeofr at the idea of seeing hert" "And yet he never gave up to her the secret of his diwcTerifs Baodoi* faotvbecame serious. "Ah! lIe was reserving his secret for France. I heard him say so more than once, after an experiment which satisfied him; "Baudoin. my good fellow, when our artillery has this pow- der, we shall no longer be afraid of anyone." Certainly tbie general was passionately fond of this woman. But he loved his country far more, and betvpeen the two, he did not hesi- tate. Besides, that is certainly the reason for which he died. They could not succeed in tak- ing his secret by fair means, so they attempted to obtain possession of it by force." The clerk had. ceased yawning; he was lis- tefling tb TS&lHRfth with sympathetic interest all the while he was writing his deposition. He wrote down the main outlines only, for it was the third time M. Mayeur was having the same thing repeated to him, as though he hoped to discover among expressions already heard, some special signification which wonJd permit him to unravel the truth. And it was always this love intrigue, cloaking the criminal at- tempt, the bearing of which he could not suc- ceed in gauging. Was it a matter that con- oerned international politics or wa-s it mere spying? Or simply a bold attempt to seize a commercial product of considerable value? Still, before whatever hypothesis he stopped, there was obscurity with regard to cause, ignorance concerning details, an impene- trable mystery which maddened him. and which seemed as though it would compromise his career. Flinging himself back in his chair, he said: "Yes, the criminals have taken great pre- cautions. The general is dead, the servant, too, is dead, and you had been sent away. The wounded man has disappeared, as though buried in the bowels of the earth. And the un- known woman is mocking at our researches." Baudoin shook his head: "So long as attemptai are made to find her. she will hide, and nothing will be discovered. If the matter concerned me, I know what I should do." M. Mayeur, in his distress, flashed at the ralet a look of cariosity. When he, the ex- amining magistrate, so famous for a resource- fal imagination, no longer knew what ex- pedient to tty, a wmple witzien pertended to. I understand. the position, and point out. the means tottB fmiowed. He was on the point of crushing him with official disda.in. by telling him to trouble with what concerned him when he thought that, after all. advice was not to be neglected, and he might despise it afterwards, if necessary. He accordingly asked, in mock- ing tones, to safeguard his dignity: I "Then, what would you do, M. Baudoin?" ¡ "Please pardon me, air, if what i. say 13 foolish, but if the affair were in my hands. instead of sending out in every direction, seek- ing information everywhere, I would not stir a step. I should let it be known that I had given up the pursuit, and was engaged in some- thing else. You must know what takes place in a barn, where there are mioe. There is a general rush to the holes as socrn as the sound of entering feet are heard. If you remain quiet, after a few moments, the mice are seen to be risking out again, and playing about the floor, as before. Well, I believe it would be the same in the present case. I beg pardon, if I interfere in the matter, but J, too, am bent on finding the rascals who killed my master, and if I can contribute towards their capture it will be the brightest day of my life." M. Mayeur no longer cast a disdainful glance at the General's valet. He smiled at him in most amiable mood. For, in a flash, he had furnished him with the means of taking ad- vantage of the difficulty in this cursed affair. When tHe Government agent should say to him, that very evening: "Well! my dear Mayeur. where have you got to now? Nothing yet p., instead of replying in a tone of vexation: "Nothing at all," thus confessing his inability to discover, but even the absence of grounds on which t.1 found his researches, he would be able to reply "This mat-ter has been badly begun, I undertake to recommence everything ab ovo. We have to deal with rogues who are exceedingly cunning. I intend to change my plans entirely." This time, he would no longer appear incapable, as though he were entrusted with a task too difficult for his capacity. He would secure an honourable retreat, and gain time as well." Resuming his stiff and formal gravity, he said: "There will be plenty of time to act ae you suggest. But I have still at my disposal many other means of throwing light on the subject." | (To be Continued to-morrow.)
