PUBLISHED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT. THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY. By GEORGE OHNET, Author of "The Ironmaster," "Serge Panine," Ac. [COPYRIG HT.] PART I. SYNOPSIS.—The French Minister of War 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 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. <tt 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 Lichtenbacli (son of a Jew, who made huge snms during the Franco-German War), a powerful financier, who, having one time been a suitor for G raff's, sister, now Madame Baradier, is shown to be animated with the most deadly animosity towards the members of that firm. Lichtenbach, it is suggested, is at the bottom of the Tremont tragedy. (The story began in the Evening Express" for May 3.) CHAPTER V. (Continued.) His clerk, pen in month, conid not help laughing outright. When Mayeur was at bay, without a single idea in his head, befooled by the culprits when he had nob the slightest idea. where to look for them, he still pretended to "ttamr liahl oet subject." Light on the subject! It was enough to make anyone 1a.ugh! He gave Baudoin a, wink, and noisily rattled his desk. M. Mayeur, as though he guessed the secret hostility of his subordinate, said to him: "Just go and see if Oolonel Vallenot has come from the Ministry." The clerk stretched himself, showed Bau- doin his cigarette case, with a grimace which signified: "I'm just going to smoke one," and left the ibom. M. Mayeur followed him, bolted the door. and, returning to Baadoin, said: "I would rather we were alone in discussing the subject I am engaged on. The slighest indiscretion, in so delicate a. matter, might ruin everything. Just now, you gave me a pieoe of advice which I might follow to ad- vantage. Still, you did not tell me everything. You are better informed than you have yet shown. Perhaps they are only suspicions, still, I am sure you are quite determined to help justice in an energetic pursuit of your master's murderers. Why have you not perfect confidence in me? We have the same object in view. Oome, M. Baildoin, be frank and open. You imagine you have discovered some means of laying bands on the culprits?" Baudoin raised his head, and, looking fixedly at the magistrate, saw that he was in passionate earnest. He thought that he had really an ally in him, and that professional secrecy guaranteed hia discretion, and ac- cordingly made up his mind to speak: "Well! Yes, I have a means by which we shall lay our hands on the culprits." "What is itll"- "First of all, swear that what I am, about to say shall not be repeated." "But protested the judge. "Take it or leave it," declared Baudoin bluntly. "I am risking my life and that of others as well. I shtaJl say nothing, unless you give me your word of honour not to re- peat to a living soul what I am going to en- trust to you." "Not even to my chief?" "Not a word to anyone! Do you give me your promise?" "Very well! I promise*" I "Well, then! As I told you before, in matters concerning scientific research, the General had confidence in no one except a young man whom he loved as though he were his own child, M. Baradier's son. I have reason to believe that M. Marcel knows M. de Tremont's formulae. If, therefore, the vil- lains we are on the look-out for have the slightest suspicion that they might in this direction try the coup which failed with the General, as soon as they are reassured as to the result of the present search), they will set to work afresh. It is there my task will begin. I am entering the service of M. Marcel, and I shall not leave him a single moment. Besides, I have a mate, who is accustomed to such work. I am taking him with me. The two of us are organising a continual eurveillanoe. If the plot recommences, we let it develop, and intervene at the critical moment. That is my plan. That is why I made bold, a few minutes ago, to advise YOU to give up the I game, to aJl appearance. With villains like those with whom we have to deal, there may be a great deal of troubla. Now you may do all that is necessary to give me a hand. and as soon as developments have come to a head, I will immediately lay the matter in your hands." The examining magistrate reflected for a moment, then he said: "All this is outside of legal precedent, but the situation is an exceptional one. Above everything, we must succeed! If we have to deal with determined criminals, as I imagine is the case, this is not their first attempt, and perhape we shall capture a whole gang. Put into performance, therefoire, the plan you have indicated, and. at the slightest difficulty,, « come to me, and I will summon all the forces of the law to your aid. You need simply show me the end of the thread and I will go right to the end." "Good; you shall hear from me at the right time. Not another word, for here is your clerk returning." The clerk knocked at thte closed door, and the magistrate opened it. Colonel Vallenot stood in the passage, and M. Mayeur addressed him: "Come in, Oolonel, take a. seat." Turning towards Baudoin, he said: "You may now retire. M. Baudoin; I don't think I shall need you for some time to come. All the same, if you leave Paris, give M. Baradier your address, so tha-t the summons I shall address to you may reach you in good time." Baudoin bowed to the magistrate, saluted the Colonel in military fashion, and left, the room. When he was gone M. Mayeur returned to Vallenot, with a smile on his face; he could not allow his discouragement to appear in public. "The Minister of War delivered a very solid speech last night in the House." "Yes; they try to mystify him, bnt he is able to defend himself. He knows what he is talking about, and a direct attack always succeeds with Parliamentarians." "Imperatoria brevitas," sneered the magis- trate. After a short pause he aeked in honeyed tones: "Have your researches come to a point yet?" The Colonel replied bluntly: "Not at all; they are no further advanced than yours." M. Mayenr smiled faintly. "Ah, ah! Then we make no progress?" "If I were not afraid of offending you, I should say that we were going backwards." "Tl¥.t appears to be exactly as the matter stands," said Mayeur with a look of intelli- gence. "Ah! Have you obtained some clue at last?" asked Vallenot, perplexed. "I am not in a position to explain, but have patience; a surprise is in store for you." "How delighted the chief will be I. Tta whole affair has put him in such a nervous condition that the whole staff suffers in con- sequence. He is never out of a temper; one does not know how to manage him." "To return to our investigations abroad. What result have they given?" We have obtained tke certainty that, if an attempt has been made to obtain posses- sion of the formulae of General de Tremont, the Triple Alliance bae had nothing to do with it. Ever since the last espionage affair, the different Governments have given orders to their agents to observe the strictest, reserve, j If there really has been a. plot it can only have been made by the English. You are well aware that their artillery is quite out of date, and they are trying to recover ground." So there are nothing but suppositions; no proofs ?" None whatever. In Parie, or, at any rate, in France, there are half-a-dozen women well known for their international intrigues, and who might have been suspected of having acted the role of the Baroness with the poor General de Tremont. Those known to have been in France have been strictly watched. Besides. the majority form part of our oounter- espionage, and could have informed us, whilst still in the pay of another nation. As far as Hans is concerned, a police report from Lausanne announoee the arrival in Genoa. of a wounded man, whose arm has been ampu- tated. He is from Baden, and is named Fichter. The accident took pla-ce in a wire mill in the neighbourhood of Besancon. Accordingly, be could not be at the same time in the Jura. and at Vanvee. All the same, his description corresponds exactly with that given by Ba.udoin. If this Fichter is the man we are seeking, the proprietor of the wire mill must have given a/coommodation certificates, or a. substitution most have taken place on the way between the two men. All this is very improbable. So, ytra see, the matter is involved in greater obscurity than ever." I Yes, yes," hummed the magistrate, who appeared so absent-minded that tke colonel looked at him in amazement. You take all this very calmly! said Vallenot. "What is the use of getting ozated? It never aama my ttsefol parpow/ Then you have not lost all hope?" "Why should I?" "The deuce!" "Ah! my friend, success often comes at the very time you think everything is lost." "Yon magistrates are very lucky; it is not so in the army. When you expect Grouchy! it is always Blucher who oomes!" "Well, we shall see." "What do you intend to do?" "Let the whole affair slide for some time. It is too premature to do anything yet." "In other words, you are shelving it?" "Yes, I am shelving it provisionally." "Then you abandon the whole affair?" The magistrate looked gravely at Vallenot, and, to the profound amazement of his clerk, said humbly: "I do, if no fresh incident happens." "Have I to inform the Minister of this?" "Please do so. Tell him I am sorry, and wish I could have done better. That has been impossible. Still, all is not lost, in my opinion. We shall see at a later date." The Oolonel etood there, rather disoon- certed by this unexpected solution, and b he took his leave he shook his head, saying: "A pleasant message you send me with. I shall be received like a dog in a game of skittles." "Nonsense! You are the favourite. I am off to the Government agent. He will not grumble; on the contrary, he will poke fun at me. Still, no matter. He laughs well who laughs last!" Shaking the Colonel by the hand, be con- ducted him to the passage, and returned to his office. He signed several sheets of paper handed to him by his clerk. The latter, devoured by curiosity, said: "Then the matter is really finished, sir? Are yon giving it up?" "One cannot do what is impossible," said Mayeur, negligently. "A house cannot be built without scaffolding. Here we have no grounds to work upon. I am not strong enough to invent what I am ignorant of. It is already difficult enough to obtain benefit from certain proof." A look of pity came over the clerk's coun- tenance. So long as the magistrate had manifested & tranquil aasuranoe of success he hied, in him ctMuwmoQ, viotenily criticised^ him. Now that his master showed himaelf modest and simple he disdained him. Nothing but a poor fellow, after all, who was very lucky when things went well, but gave up the struggle at the very first difficulties. "Just put away the brief into my case. I am going to the Public Prosecutor's office, said the magistrate. "Afterwards you may go; it is five o'clock. I will see you to- morrow morning." Oolonel VaJlenot, meanwhile, was rolling away in a cab in the direction of the Ministry. On entering his chief's ante-chamber he came acrose Baudoin, who was leaving the Minister's cabinet. Stopping him, he said: "You have just seen the General?" "Yes, Colonel. "Is he in a good temper?" "Yes, Colonel. Yon had better hurry, air, if you wish to find him in." "What! He is going out?" "I heard him say that he was going to the Chamber." "Yon had something to aak him. Baudoin?" "No. Colonel. I wished simply to speak. to him of the affair of General Tremont." "In what respect?" "The magistrate makes no progress, and seems to me as though about to abandon the matter altogether." "You told this to the Minister?" "Yes, not five minutes ago." "And how did he receive the communica- tion ?" He whistled softly; then said aload. "After all. perhaps it is better so." Colonel Vallenot looked at Baadoni, as though to make sure he was not making fun of him. Then he shrugged his shoulders, as though he did not understand, and declared; in vexed tones: "Good! Good! Well, we will say no more about it." With a friendly gesture to the former soldier, he said: "Good-night, Baadoin. If you need any- thing send for me. We were all very fond of M. de Tremont." And he passed along, muttering to himself: "Everybody I meet seems to bane lost hit bead." gft oontiiiuwl tMooosnrJ
