PUBLISHED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT. THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY. By GEORGE OHNET, Author of "The Ironmaster," "Serge Panine," &c. [COPYRIG HT.] PART I. CHAPTER I. (continued). "In your opinion, then, it is the man who came with the woman who killed the general ?" "Yes. Monsieur le Ministre, most likely wlieu the general was conducting them back to the carriage. The murder took place close to the gate. The sand is,trodden down as though a straggle had taken place, and the body had been carried off behind the bushes. The traces of the trailing Icgs are quite visible. The woman probably helped. At any rate. once the murder accomplished, she must have left, and the man stayed behind. He robbed the General of his keys, which never left him. and which have not ocen found; m addition, he took his watch and portfolio, so that it might be believed that a murder, the motive of which WM robbery, had been committed; then he entered the villa, and worked in the labors tory. It was with the laboratory that he had to do." "How do you know this?" "From what Baudoin, hitt valet, said. It appears that, one day, whilst placing things in order, in the cabinet of the General; the latter entered on his way from the labora- tory. He took a few paces in the room, rub- bing his hands together, then he said almost to himself, This time our fortune ii made! What will Hans say?' For a week the general had been working hard at an experi- ment. which had hitherto failed. and from which he expeoted great result*. 0.1] diffe- rent oooaeiozu, formerly, he had temporarily dismissed bis valet. certainly with the object of receiving his mysterious guests at night." "Good, we will admit what you say regard- ing the man," said the Minister, captivated by the explanations of his agent. "But, in your opinion. what shall we think of the role played by the woman?" "That is much more evident, Monsieur le Ministre; both indications and proofs abound. The General de Tromont has been the victim of a too tender disposition. I know nothing of the General's' secrets or researches, though the journals have on different occasions spoken of his investigations. He was a mCiTh- her of the Academy of Science, and his repu- tation as a savant was fully established. Suppose for a moment that M. de Tremont had made a discovery of interest to the future of European armies, aud that some one Power wished to obtain information as to the value of his invention—obtain possession of it, perhaps. Do we not know that women have been, only too often, the beat political agents employed in our country? In spite of his age, the General remained very suscep- tible. 4 young woman, beautiful and intelli- gent, is placed in hie path. He meets her by chance, falls in love with her. But the fair one is guarded; she is obliged to take great precautions. A complaisant friend, relation. perhaps, under the cover of science, facili- tates the interviews by a.coompanying the lady, so as to throw some imaginary rival off the track Whilst tbfc old lover is paying his court, the benevolent companion, observes. takes his meararee, skilfully questions, and obtains the confidence of the one to whom he is rendering a, service. Pawioa lolls all fear, and a sweet emile and caressing eyes drive one to acts of folly. Then, one fine night, the General de Tremont-, who has, doubtless, finished his discovery. is visited by the un- known couple. The woman tries to obtain the secret, t She, does not succeed. Then the man, a^ a: lagt i extremity, decides to strike. The General falls under the dagger; his accomplice takes to flight. The assassin returns with the keys, searches the labora- tory, and tries to open, the chest containing the precious products. But the dreaded powder, unskilfully handled, avenges its maker, and, in a terrible explosion, annihi- lates at the same time both formula and the one trying to steal it. This is how it is pos- sible. Monsieur le Ministre, to make a gue:js at the events now occupying our attention. But-I do not wish to deceive myself—this is only conjecture. There may be other ver- sions more, certain! if not more likely. What is absolutely certain is that General de Tremont has been assassinated, that the murderer was one of the two persons received < that night at the villa,, and that the explosion following on the crime has been caused by the imprudence of the man we may name Hans, wbo has been grievously wounded." The Minister and Colonel Vallenot looked at one another for a moment in silence;"then I the Minister said to the agent: l "I thank you for your report, but do not trouble any further in the matter, which is in the hands of the police. If we have any additional investigations to make I will send for you. Now go. and do not say a word to anyone on the matter." Laforet bowed, gatre a military salute, and with the same tranquil precision, left the room. The two principals eat there absorbed by what they had heard, going over once more all the details of this drama, which was becoming materially so clear, but remained morally so obscure. The precautions taken by the two accomplices appeared so perfect that it was doubtful whether the truth could be learned concerning them. One hope re- retained: the wounded man. with his arm cut off, might be found. h&jMead w%h exhaua-1 tioo. on the road. By questioning the inbabi- tanta of the neighbourhood the man might be discovered; doubtless, tho police were already OIl the track, and the wort adroit detectives as well. "You know. Vallenot, Tremont was my senior; he retired before the age limit, the more easily to devote his time to scientific research: as he had serious money difficul- ties." "And now," said Colonel Vallenot, "we have reached the point I wished to come to, when I said at the beginning of my report that. after examining the material facts, we should deal with the moral considerations of this affair. The examination of facts is over. There has been the death of a man, probably an attempt at robbery, and. finally. the com- plete destruction of an inhabited house. But under what conditions have alt these crimi- nal acts been accomplished?" "I understand what you mean. You see in this affair something other than a criminai attempt. You suspect a plot of a special order, something very delicate, fastidious, dangerous even." "Yes. general, because in this case we have not our hands quite free iu the search of the causes, hindered as we are by diplomacy, by politics. and often even by such unexpected complicities that we are first obliged to beat about the bush, then to withdraw, and. finally, give up all idea of proceeding with rigour. Shall I enumerate the affairs in which we have come to no certain issue for several years?" "It is unnecessary. I am sufficiently well informed on the situation, and have a toler- ably good idea of what you possess in the archives. How long have you been in the Ministry. Vallenot?" "Ten years, occupying different positions. with intervals of service in the regiments. We have never ceased being exploited by other nations, with a skill, an audacity, and a acr- severance, against which all our efforts have been in vain. The most important captures have always been effected by women. Accord- ingly. when the servaflt of General de Tre- mont spoke of this nocturnal lady-visitor, my suspicions were immediately aroused." "Explain yourself." "It is not the Wet time. General, that we have had to deal with this mysterious woman, who copies and passes away, leaving ruin and blood&bed in her Vrain. Her manner of procedure is always the same; the fiiee her mind on someone whom ehe knows to be in a. position to give up to her some impor- tant secret or other, then she seduces him. until in the end he betrays it. Then she casts him off. like a useless debris. A crea- ture to be dreaded, if I may judge by the d results she has already obtained, and a powerful corruptress. No heart is proof against her alluring temptations. She art- fully graduates the doses of her love-philtre; and the noblest minds, the most upright con- sciences. and the staunchest courage bend and capitulate at a sign from her. Do you remember the ill-fated Commandant Com- inges. who blew out his brains, without any- thing being publicly known as to the reason? The woman had come along; Cominges had become her elave. A part of our mobilisation had become known. Before killing himself. Cominges swore that the documents had been stolen from his dwelling whilst he was absent with this woman. He had made the grave mistake of taking them from the office to work on them. and the still graver one of saying that they were, in his possession. But the poor fellow bad confidence in her. He was a man of honour, a gallant soldier. A pistol-shot settled the whole matter." "What was the woman's name?" "Madame Ferranti. She took most careful' precautions in seeing Cominges, presumably on account of her family. One of our agents, however, was acquainted with her. Within six mouths he died by an accident. He was, one evening, travelling by rail from Anteuil. They found him dead under a tunnel. Doubt- less he had leaned out too far from the car- riage." "The deuce:" "The following year the young Captain Fontenailles, a. fine young fellow we were all fond of. was induced by a woman, whom his comrades called, the 'Tenebreuse,' because no one of them ever saw ber. to disclose certain confidences. Understanding the gravity of his conduct, he went to his superior and con- fessed everything. The latter succeeded in repairing the damage done by changing the key to the secret writings. Captain Fonten- ailles left for Tonkin, where he fell. fighting bravely. at the attaok of Bac-Ninh. His fault was atoned for." "And the womipl is always the eame:" "According to all these gentlemen. The j Ferranti of Cominges was the Tenebrense of Foutenailles. Then there was the Madame Gibeon, of the Aerostat affair, without speak- ing of several other cases only partially revealed. Always the same Tenebreuse, with the same method of procedure, corruption. In her train. ruin. tears, and blood.' "How long has she been engaged in this work of intrigue?" "Ten years, certainly, General; and under all there personations we have not been able to lay our bands on her. She is only known by her professional names." "What a deep-dyed scoundrel! We must try to cut short her career." "Nothing more difficult. Once the coup accomplished, she disappears. An eel, gliding about in the mud, in which it remains hidden until the water again becomes clear. She arranges in such a way as to cut off all communications behind her; that is her method. For instance, in this new affair we shall have to struggle in the dark. Search will be made for some time. but no clue will be found. The accomplices, as weil as the principal instigator of the crime, will now have got to earth. By degrees the search will calm down, and something else will be on the tapis. At any rafife, it is in this way that the majority of these cases end. nnlcss-" "Utiles*? Ab! You still hope something may happen ?" "Unless this time the wounded accomplice affords as a trace Let U8 merely hold one end of the conducting wire, and I promise you, General, we will arrive at some result I or other, if only to avenge our poor com- rades." "And to prevent the repetition of similar accidents. For, after all. Vallenot, you will agree with me that it is rather too much for foreign Powers to become acquainted with j our most secret affairs, as though they were {matter of discussion on the pabiic thorough- fares." "We are as well acquainted with foreign affairs, General, as they are with oure," said the Colonel with less sullen mien. "To sum up, there are always two at the game. And it has always been so. Ay. the very time. in 1812, when Russia, was procuring information as to the efficiency of the Emperor's troops. Caulaaaoourt sent to Na-ixjieon the engraved copper plates bf the map of Russia. I quote this fact of days gone by without alluding to contemporary events. But. taking everything into consideration. General, our secrets are scarcely secrets at all. If. in war, reliance was placed on nothing beyond mysterious preparations "Then we should have to start by abolish- ing the press," muttered the Minister. "And that is impossible!" said Vallenot. Still, in this special case before us. we mut undertake the task of clearing the moral atmosphere, and employ every means pos- sible, if we would succeed." "Eh! That concerns the legal authorities now." "Officially. General, but we also, on our side. may investigate, in a quiet way, and I have no doubt "The lesson to be learnt is that our officers are becoming too gallant!" "If you know any means. General," said Val- lenot. with a laugh, "of suppressing thai* please tell me." "To think of this old General! Sixty years old. too! True, he did not appear more than fifty! In what position does he leave itif danghter?" "General le Tremont was a widower?" "Yes. that is hiis excuse: But he has a daughter, still at school. She is eighteen years old. and without dowry. Luckily, B&radier is there." on mean Baradier and Graff, the bankers?" "Certainly. Baradier foughf in the war of 1870; he is a true patriot, and his son, Marcel, a fine young fellow, just cut of t-be Central School, has been working with Gene- ral de Tremont. Marcel Baradier was princi- pally occupied in investigating vegetable dyes. oorwiected with the woollen weaving manufactures his father owns in the Anbe. But the General opened his laboratory to him. and probably informed him of his own inves- tigations. We may learn a great deal from this young man. I think" "Is the Baradier family in good circum- stances?" "Very wealthy: their fortune daily in- creases from industrial and from banking operations. It is Graff. Baradier's step-bro- ther. who deals more specially with finance, whilst Baradier manages the works. Both. however, are busily employed all day long. and the millions roll in. notwithstanding thf rivalry of the firm of Licbtenbach, who are mortal enemies of Baradier and Graff." "Business rivalry?"
