----THE WOMAriF MYSTERY.
PUBLISHED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT. THE WOMAriF MYSTERY. By GEORGE OHNET, Author of "The Ironmaster," "Serge Panine," Ac. [COPYRIGHT.! PART I. SYNOPSIS.—The French Minister of Wa* receives in audience Colonel Vallenot, who explains to him in detail the result of his examination of'the wrecked house of General de Tremont. Tremont hJwi Hit recently dit- 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 persorz-a man called Hans, and a woman known as Baronees." The woman 13 suspected of being a foreign apy, who had won Ttemont's affection for the purpose of obtaining poasession 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 ruina. Tremont is related to the great banking firm of Baradier and Graff, and the etory proceeds to connect the members of that firm with its sensational and tragic inci- dents. There is also brought into the story one Lichtenbaeh (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. In an interview with the Minister of War, Baradier expresses the sus- picion that Lichtenbach is at the bottom of the mystery. He also mentions that his son Marcel possesses the formulae for Tre- mont's marvellous explosives. Baradier learns through Marcel that the man known as Hans was regarded by Tremont as a savant and a foreign Nihilist. "Was he a Ilu3sian?" queries Baradier. "1 do not know; his name was Hans," answers Maroel. "Hans!" exclaimed Baradier. "That was the name of the man whose arm was torn off! It is the name on t^e ring worn by the man who caused the explosion of the house at Vanves. This is the first Hash of light." Marcel retires to one of the works owned by his father's firm a, Are, and there pursues his investigations. Ii, is suggested that he is in peril from the machinations of the "woman of mystery" who had failed to secure her ends in the case of General Tre- mont. Baudoin, the late general's valet, persuades the authorities to suspend for a time their investigation of the crime, and constitutes himself personal bodyguard of young Maroel. r The story began in the "Evening Express" for May 3.
CHAPTER IX. (Continued.)
CHAPTER IX. (Continued.) "Well! We will throw some light on the matter. If I «vn succeed in laying hands on this gang, the Minister of War will be de- lighted. After all, Baudoin. if you are not mistaken, this affair is simply the result of the attempt at Vanves. We. have to deal with a whole company, and an experienced one, too, which has already had a crow to pick with us. Follow me." Raising the sash, he placed one foot on a chair, and mounted on to the roof. Baudoin imitated him. A large leaden pipe surrounded the building. This they followed, until they reached the front, overlooking the courtyard twenty feet below. Laforet pointed out to his companion a small zinc roof below the first floor. It was the covering of a shed, used as a saddle-room. "Now, then, our friends are in the room where you eee that lighted window, above this where you see that lighted window, above this roof. If you can get there unnoticed and without making the slightest noise you may see from the roof into the interior, certainly you could hear." Baudoin leaned over into the court-yard, looking for some means of descending. "How can I get there? Twenty feet, and no ladder." La-foret pointed to something projecting from the angle of the wall: "That is a oast-irott pipe used for the drains." "You are rig-ht! Come along!" "Put your shoes in your po<iket." After doing so the agent seized hold of the leaden pipe with Ms hands, and separating his knees in the angle of the wall. to protect himself by the friction, he silently began to descend. Baudoin. leaning over the roof, watched the operation with anxious curiosity. He was not afraid that Laforet would be found lacking in strength or agility, but was wonder- ing if the pipe would prove solid. Suppose the attaching became loose, both pipe and man would fall to the ground with a terrible clatter. The alarm would be raised, and the consequences of such an accident might be disastrous. But his anxiety did not last long. At the end' of a few seconds, Laforet had reached the roof. and was lying there, extended at full length. Baudoin thereupon followed suit. Ou reaching the bottom of the window, where the meeting was being held. he knelt down and looked. Through the muslin of the curtain, the human forms appeared indistinct, like the silhouettes of a badly focussed magic lantern. According to the position he was in. and his distance from the light, each of the three men assembled appeared either like a. giant or a dwarf. One of them had risen from his seat, and wa? walking to and fro. Accord- ing as he approached or went away from the window, a voice, distinct or indistinct, reached Laforet's ear.?. The latter, without turning round, drew Baudoin nearer and whispered in his ear: "It is difficult to see, but you may htear. Come a little nearer and listen." Baudoin obeyed, and listened attentively in the effort to discover the object of his keen curiosity. It was not the man who was walk- ing to and fro whose voice could now be heard; it was rather the voice of some one seated near a table, who appeared to be examining some papers. Difficult as it was to find any meaning in what was said, all the same, certain expressions reached them. "No use using violence nothing would result Alarm the aworkmen. Excite the atten- tion of the authorities All the same, it was easy to understand that he was not of the same kind as the man on his feet, who appeared to be pacing to and fro, with down-cast head, as though impatiently submitting to opposition. Suddenly the walker stopped, and in harsh tones said: "It shall be as I wish!" The other replied, though, on account of the distance, only a few broken phrases reached the listeners: "General interest „ B unfavourable opinions. I The man on his feet had resumed his walk, and was listening to his opponent. Once more he stopped, and said "It shall be as I wish, I tell you." Laforet whispered: "Is he the man? Do you recognise the voice?" "No!" said Baudoin, anxiously. "I don't recognise it at all." I The man seated before the table thereupon I folded up his papers, and put them in his pocket with the words: "Then there is nothing to do but obey!" The other thereupon went up to the table, laid his hand on the shoulder of his opponent who had capitulated, and said in joyful aoc-ents: "That's right! You were a long time before you would give in! Now we must set to work! No one will repent the decision reached!" And lie burst into a loud laugh. Laforet felt the hand, of his companion shake. and at the same time Baudoin luurmnred in accents of frightful anguish: "It is he; yes, that is the man. I recognise his laugh!" He gave a gesture of anger, but Laforet immediately restrained him: "Listen once more! Make sur-; that you are not mistaken!" "It is he! I cannot be mistaken! Ah That laugh of his: just as I heard it on the night of the crime, when he descended from the carriage." "Well. then, we know all we want. We must not stay any longer here; it is useless to risk any unnecessary danger." Thereupon he glided down to the edge of the zinc roof. Bsudoin followed him. and the two men put on their shoes, and reached the court- yard. Thc.-e they halted. The door of the inn was closed, but Laforet knew how to deal with locks, and, a second later, himself and his companion were in the open street. "What are you going to do now," said Bau- doin. "The police are at hand. Will you hesitate to lock up this villain at once?" "Good!" said Laforet. "That is one solution. And afterwards?" "What do you mean—afterwards?" "Nothing is easier than to take him. We need only wait till he leaver the inn. and then carry him off to the commissioner? But what then ?" "Of course, he will be accused of the crime committed at Yanves. Then he will be tried, convicted, ani finally condemned." "Indeed! Convicted? You think so? Such a man as the one with whom we have to deal ? Take him unawares? Could he not easily find an alibi, to prove that he was five hundred miles away from Vanves on the night of the crime? Even yourself, five minutes ago, hesi- tated about recognising him. And then. whilst we have this bird safe under lock and bolt, only to be obliged, later on, to set him at liberty, perhaps, all the others-will take to flight. That will be a fine end to everything!" "All the same we cannot fold our arms quiets, and let this raseaJ get off, scot-free?" "The villain is plotting something here, and the play must not be interrupted at the very moment the principal character ia about to enter on the stage. What about the beautiful lady of the Cavee, and her pretended brother? And all these rascals who are just now doing their best to ruin the works of Baradier and Graff? Do you not think of them? Should we let them know that the whole affair is over, and their plot discovered?" "But we cannot remain inactive specta-tors in all this?" "Spectators, yes, for the moment. Inactive, never! I did not come from Paris to Ars simply for the purpose of breaking stones on the road. I am engaged in my profession, and I intend the whole affair to be successful." "But can I not, at least. warn M. Marcel?" "Under no pretext! His first impulse would be to have a frightful scene with his lady- love, and everything would be ruined. In the name of Heaven. let us keep those who are under the influence of passion out of our confidence! From them you may expect nothing but the most utter folly!" "But suppose Marcel falls into some trap or other?" "Have no fear for him. He will come out of it all right. For my part, I intend to shadow our man. and shall not let him give me the slip until I have everything necessary for giving him up to the magistrate in Paris, who is extremely mortified at his failure in this affair. Do you agree?" "I must do 80. I suppose." "Then we will each attend to our own busi- ness." They shook hands, and separated in the darkness of thp night. The illuminated inn rang with shouts and exclamations, alterna- ting with the cadence of mugs of beer as they struck the wooden tables. Away in the diBta-noe. the factory raised its sombre bulk under the star-lit sky. At. the very moment Baudoin passed in front of the concierge's room, the latter stopped him, and in joyful tones said "M. Graff has just arrived!" Tncle Graff. uneasy at wha-t Cardez had telephoned, had not hesitated, but had left Baradier to continue a.n important, operation at the Bourse on the shares of the Explosives Company, and, taking the train, had made straight for the works. Marcel, who was taking a walk by the riverside, had seen the worthy uncle come along the flower-beds, and had rushed joyfully forward to meet him. "What! Is it you. Uncle Graff?" "Yee. my nephew, I wanted to see for myself what is taking place here. I have just had a talk with Curdez, and at present I know how matters stand. Now, let us speak of yourself. How are you getting along, and what are you doing here? I don't want to find fault, but you send us very little news. Your mother is anything but pleased; she said to me only last night: He no longer thinks of up; be loves us no mere." "I' Not think of you ail!" saJd Marcel. "How can your poor mother have any illu- sion on the subject? Certaiuly. you do not spoil her! Ah! I well know tha.t children do not live for their parents, but for themselves. All the same. they might do a little, from time to time. for those who have brought them up and loved them from childhood.. "Oh uncle! What you say pains me very much!" said Marcel penitently. "Has my silence been interpreted in this way? To obey my father. I have come to bury myself at Are for several weeks I think I have given him sufficient pledges of my good intentions, in spite of a few silly escapades I have been* guilty of.. i "Debts amounting to three hundred thousand francs, my little Marcel, without counting what I often gave you, unknown to, your parents. eh?" "Ah! Uncle Graff, why return to discuss such matters?" "Yes, you forget them very soon, don't you?" Marcel emiled: "You are a very indulgent uncle; you know* what young men are!" "All the same, I have never been youngr Ah! Maroel, I should have adored pleasure and luxury bad I not looked as solemn as a. churchwarden." "So you gave yourself up to finance and succeeded brilliantly! My good uncle, it is you who pay when your spendthrift of a nephew is m difficulties! All the same. I am very fond of you, Uncle Graff." He had taken him by the shoulders, and was embracing him with warmth. The old man, his eyes filled with tears, looked ten- derly at the handsome young fellow by his side. He coughed to conceal his emotion, and said: "Yes. I know you are fond of me. Well! well: Promise me that you will write a nice little letter to your mother." "I promise. Uncle Graff. I will write to-mor- row morning, and one to my father into the bargain." "That is right! By the way. things don't seem to be going along very well ,here! Are these rascally strikers going to ruin our workmen P" (To be continued on Monday.)
