PUBLISHED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT. THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY. By GEORGE OHNET, Author of "The Ironmaster," "Serge Panine," Ac. [COPYRIGHT.] PART I. SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTERS. Chapter I. (which commenced in the "Even- ing Express," on May 3) opens with the discovery of a tragedy at the honse of General de Tremoiit. a wan with a dis- ting-nisliee career, who in later life dabbled in chemical experiment. Inquiry appears to show that the general was murdered in the grounds of his house, which was after- wards wrecked by an explosion. Suspicion falls upon a woman who visited the general late on the evening before and a man named Hans, whoee arm was found in the minSj. Chapter II. introduces the reader to Baradier and Graff, and the story of the stormy days of 1870-1, when their friendship with General Tremont began. CHAPTER II. (continued). Thus, after two years spent by Mademoi- selle Graff in one of the boat boarding schools in Nancy, Elias, one fine morning, found himself in front of h&r in the garden, whilst waiting for Antoine. He was stupe- fied and completely dazzled. The child had become a young lady, tall aud graceful, with dark eyes, light hair, and brilliant com- plexion. He dared not speak to her, and could only bow as she passed. On return- ing home he mentioned the incident to his father. and. with a wealth of biblical com- parison, he depicted the maiden, like Re- becca appearing to Jacob. lie left his father in no doubt that he waa passionately in love, and that if. as the shepherd had served La,btm. he should have to serve Graff, he would submit to it for love of the fair Eliee. Old Moaaa remarked that, beine a. Jew. and the Ctxafli beioff ChrkUlmo. ttacs wM no chance of being accepted by them, with- out pretjudice to the they had manifested ag-ainst him ever einoe the war. Elias replied that he could abjure his religion, and by his conversion give great prestige to the Catholic faith, that he had earned sufficient money, and that a young fellow of 22 years of age, who would place 400,000f. on the table when the contract was signed was not a. Btntor to he thrown over so easily. Moses warned hie son that he was entering upon a perilous negotiation. He did not dissuade him from changing hie religion, if he found any advantage in such a. course, but be warned him that, whether as Cllrie- tian or Jew, he would not obtain the hand of Mademoiselle Graff, and that be wwild gain nothing but the shame of his ajxksrt/acy. Elias, however, had a will of iron; he aetoniahed the archbishop by his deter- mination, conciliated him by hie piety a.nd generosity, and, v-ith remarkable skill, brought over to his intereebs aU the high Catholic powers. At a time when German pieusm wa.s struggling in the conquered provinces, with a. clergy of purely Protestant tendencies, the conversion of Elias was a. poli- tical event. Had Elias not been so well known be might have booome papular. All the same, be met a thorough refusal at t.he bands of the Graff family, and. as thorigh to intensify the insult offered to him. before six months the beautiful Elise married the former ser- geant, Baradier. At tha aame tune, a: rumour gPM4 nbroad tbaA the Cteafl* vna* Itsmize the town. Antoine followed his etep-brother to Paris, and entered with him into the bank- ing establishment of Baradier senior. It wae too much for Elias. He lost his sleep, and one day. aft-er meeting the Graffs, who were being escorted to the station by all their friends, he returned home, and was taken suddenly ilL Old Moses, terrified, put his son to bed. summoned the doctor, and learnt that the new convert was at the point of death. A furious delirium bad talien pos- session of him; during its course he nego- tiated fabulous bargains with imaginary buyers and sellers. A semblance of reason returned only when he poured forth floods of insults and threats against the Baradiers and the Graffs, whilst his father calmed him by saying: "Yes. Elias, you shall have your revenge on these rascals! You shall aoiin them! Yon shall crush them under your beel!" Then a. happy smile came over the patient's lips; he slept a. few hours, and awoke feeling much better. One may afiirm that it was tlie intensity of his hatred that kept him from dying. Plans of revenge I haunted hie fevered brain, and when the doctor, in astonishment, declared that the young man was convalescent, the first words Elias uttered were: "All the bettor! Had I died, the Baradiers ajad Graffs would have been too glad!" To teH the truth, the latter paid not the slightest heed to too feelings of rancour they had ho violently aroused. They bad assumed the direotion of the firm, had extended the I business, and founded additional woollen fac- tories. Marcel Baradier and his Fister Amelie were born. Complete harmony seemed to exist in this happy family when Elias Lioh- tenbach, his father having died, came to estab- lish himself in Paris. A singular metamorphosis had been wrought in him. The first time Barudiar aud his rival met at the Bourse the banker did not recog- nise Lichtenbaich- He saw before him a. thin, stooping man. almost bald, with oold, passion- less eyes, hidden behind gold spectacles. His very voice had changed. M. Licbtenbach spoke little, said only what was absolutely essential. and remained impaesive before tha most im- portftttt &»9t. A oostcactioB of tbe jvM alone betrayed his emotion, giving to his counte- nance a character of singular ferocity. Licfctenbach's connection with the firm of Baradier and Graff was full of meaning. He caused them to lose 300,000f. in a single morn- ing on a contract for wool, concluded at the Bourse of Troyes. Elias sold wool from Hun- gary at so low a rate that Baradier and Graff, who had speculated on a rise, were obliged to sell out rapidly to limit their risks. It was th-i first clear flash from the cloud. Hence- forward an enemy, always on the watch, was ever ready to etrike the Ba,radier firm in its most vulnerable part. laohtenbaeh's evil intentions, though concealed, were none the less certain. When attacked they ingeniously defended themselves, took needful precautions, and trusted nothing to hazard. Licbtenbach was very powerful and dangerous. Left a widower, with one daughter, whom he had sent to the Sacre-Coeur, there to be brought up according to the principles of the most rigid devotion, Elias was a type of the renegade who had become more Christian than the Pope himself. Still, if Lichtenbc-ch was dreaded, he was I received everywhere, and his influence in society was as secret as it was sure. He ren- dered priceless help to ruined families. Instead of aiming his financial batteries against the established Government, he divided his attempts, placed his bands on all the syndicates of Europe. and by means of the capital he collected caused diverse epecu- lations not only to benefit himself, but all his I friends in addition. I The simplicity of his life was extreme. Be lived in a gloomy mansion in the Rue Barbet- de-Jouy, attended by servants from Lorraine, I who spoke German better than French. He never received visitors, whilst a game of whist; seemed to form his only distraction. It was at his office, right in front of the Bouree, that he received his clients. Although only 45 years of age, he seemed to have lost all inte- rest in the fair sex. as though all women were an object of terror for him. The little Iftichess de Bernay, who, thanks to speculations con- ducted by Elias, bad been able to pay her debts, one day said to her friend, the Mar- chioness de Premeux "I BMtt Bad oat wb" raduaftch really thinks. After all. the manner in which he I treats rm ie almost humiliating." For some evenings, in the presence of all her friends, the flirted with Elias, without succeeding in thawing him- Then suddenly she ceased payiftig attention to him. To her companions' ironical qoeeti.ma she replied, evasively: "I have lost my time. It is no use." But it was noticed that her style of living changed; that she spent large sums of money, and that, according all she ceased joking with the financier, she became more and more settled in money matters. Eiias, distant and silent as ever, continued to speculate in the four corners of the globe, to advise the Prince, manage his journal, and I prove to the firm of Baradier and Graff, as well as to those in any way connected with him, tha-t the enmity he was nourishing would be wi*h bim aB long as he lived. CHAPTER III. On reaching the Rue de Provence, the Minister of War descended from his brougham wdth the eagerness of a young man, crossed the court-yard, entered the offices, and. in load tones, asked the office-boy: "Is M. Baradier in?" The office-boy instinctively stood at atten- tion, and replied: "Yes, General, I wiU announce you at once." The Minister with nervous steps strode to and fro in the ante-chamber, behind whoee windows the Havas dispatches gave the cur- rent rates of all the Exchanges of Europe. Suddenly a door opened, and a stout man with ruddy complexion entered the room with out- stretched arms: "Ah, it is you. General! What trouble you have taken. Just step into this room." The Minister entered, and as soon as the door was closed he exclaimed: "Ah! My poor friends 1 How sad it is! "We cannot get over the shock, Baradier and L" said Graff, rolling forward an armchair, "but. t&ke a seat. GeneraJ." "Who has told you the news?" "Baudoin. who was sleeping here last night, and came in terrified this afternoon with the dismal tidings. What has happened down there. lhe whole etrosunst» £ o* wo era more serious than the disaster itself. Graff and I have been questioning and discussing with one another, without succeeding in settling the frightful problem." "If only Maroel were here!" moaned Uncle Graff, "be would enlighten us. He is so well acquainted with Tremont's life and habits, his weaknesses." "His weakneeees?" asked the Minister. "A woman? Is that what you mean?" "Yes, General." "You are taking the paltry side of the matter," said the old soldier, firmly. "It is no question of a mere .passade. The affair before us is far more than a paltry intrigue. The woman, yes, indeed, she has had a role to play. But she has only been the agent, per- haps unwittingly, of an attempt, carefully thoagbt-out and boldly executed." "With what object?" asked Baradier. "Tell me everything. General; let as communicate our suspicions to one another, in an.attempt to throw light on the affair.' "Ah! It is evident that the object of the attack was the discoveries made by Tremont. In this abominable plot, which has ended in the murder of a man we loved, a remarkable savant, I see—but do not let this go beyond the three of us hero present-the hand of the foreigner." There was a moment's silence. Baradier and Graff looked at one another, uneasily, and as though undecided. But the impetuous Bara- dier oould not long keep to himself the idea working in his brain. "We, too, General, seem to recognise in the blow which has fallen on our friend some hate- ful intention against him and against our- selves at once." "Baradier," Sitervened Graff, "you are going too fast and too far! How can you risk such a charge on suppositions alone?" "Ah! You still hesitate!" exclaimed Bara- dier. "You are still bound down by scroples! The deuce! I feel there are treason and infamy ¡' in all this! I-Let me continue! I would swear that Liclitenbach is at the bottom of it I all! "You have no right to speak in that WaY- exclaimed Graff, rising to his feet aid quiver- ins witb emotion. "How can you ins innate thai a man against whoc nothing oan be eaid from either a. profession^ or a moral point of view is a. party to a crime simply because he is our eDemY? It is abondmablel We must give some place to justioe!" Baradier, boiling over with excitement, rosa in his turn, and began to walk to and fro, speaking in snatches: "FpT the last two hours, General, we have, been disputing in this way. Graff and myself. and the only reply he can give me is that I am not just! As though that were a matter of eoncern when an imperious instinct cries out to you; there is the culprit. He is not seen; be is well masked. cunningly concealed, and appears in nothing. Probably, he will not be found out, but it ir he all the same who has done the deed, because it was to his interest and hatred combined to do it! No! With his justice, humanity, and philanthropy, you can have no idea how stupid Graff is at times!" In spite Of the gravity of the situation, the three friends burst into a loud laugh, and Graff, bending forward his great body, ex- da iined "Thanks!" The Minister then intervened to give a little order to the debate: "Come, Baradier, explain yourself. As your brother-in-law says, vague preseatimente are not sufficient to establish an accusation. Pre- sumptions lead to investigations, and if guilt results from information obtained, then, one ma.y proceed. Besides, I will observe to you that the authorities have been notified, aa 'o examination has been commenced, and if you have proofs to furnish "Impossible!" interrupted Baradier. "To you I have been telling my inmost thoughts; to an examining magistrate. I would not re- peat what I have just said," "Ah!" triumphed Graff.- "What did I tell you?" "Por me to quit ray reserve, such discoveries ought to be brought to liglht that the proofs- moral as they are—upon -which I lean, should have material coincidences. But do not thiuk I am retreating. I will make inquiries, and if I find-" "You will not find anything. If yowr sus- picions are true, we have to deal with those who are stronger than ourselves." "We shall see about that!" The General intervened aftdn: "ÙJ this Lichtenbach of whom you speak the great merchant-prince who is allied with, the clerico-royalist party?" Yet. the same man." "And you imagine him capable of a crime?** "J. believe he is capable of anything." "Doubtless you know that he is very mflueo. tial with the Ministry and obtains whatevee he wishes." "He is very powerful everywhere, his ans stretch in all directions." fro BE OONTQTUED ON MOKEtAX)
