THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY.
PUBLISHED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT. THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY. By GEORGE OHNET, Author of "The Ironmaster," "Serge Panine," &c. I [COPYRIGHT.! I PART I. SYNOPSIS.—The French Minister of War receives in audience Colonel Valleitot, who axplains to him in detail the result of his examination of the wrecked house of General de Tremont. Tremont h.!>d 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 t") 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 prooeeds 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. 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 Russian? queries Baradier. "I do not know; his name was Hans." answers Marcel. "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 flaeh of light." Marcel retires to one of the works owned by his father's firm W, Ars, and there pursues his investigations. Is 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 Marcel. The story began in tble "Evening Express" for May 3.
CHAPTER VII. (Continued.)
CHAPTER VII. (Continued.) Pardon me. I ought never to sing when I am alone. These harmonious strains agitate me, and recall to my mind souvenirs that arc too painful." "Mon Diem.! What is the matter? Have confidence in me." "No, no! Do not ask me." Closing the piano, and, summoning a smile to her face, she said: "Let us talk about you, not about me." She looked at Marcel, and said, in tones of affectionate reproof: "How warm you are! You have been walking too fast, and the hill is so steep! It will be my turn to scold if you do not act sensibly. Now come out into the garden." He quietly followed her. They walked along the small alleys of the tiny garden, then seated themselves under the shade of the blossoming lilacs, where they entered into a chat, talking of everything except of what they really thought. On the road. Baudoin had not loet sight of his master. When Marcel had eatered the villa the servant had approached with con- siderable precaution. Madame Vignola's singing had stopped as soon as Marcel appeared, so that Baudoin had heard noth- ing. He took good care not to pass in front of the door, but followed a fooi-path along the wall which continued in the direction of the wood, along a high copse crowned with large trees. On reaching the thicket he climbed the slope, and, concealed behind a bush, was able to catch a glimpse of the garden. The lilacs, under which Anetta. and Marcel were chatting, grew a.t the foot of the mound which Baudoin had chosen as his observatory. There they were, seated with their backs to- wards him. about thirty yards away. Ba-THiioin reflected. Who can this woman dressed in black be? She looks young, and of very good figure. Marcel loses no time once he Beta out on a campaign. But perhaps a.11 preliminaries have been facilitated for him? What is this young stranger doing here, and what interest is it of her's to place herself in immediate communication with M. Marcel? What are they spea-king of, there, under my very eyes? Certainly it cannot be business. Then love must be the bait at the end of the line. The hook is well concealed, and will appear at the right moment. During this monologue the two friends con- tinued their conversation. They sat there, near one another, but the sound of their words did not reach Baudoin. At the end of an hour they stood upright, and the young woman turned round so as to face Baudoin. He examined with astonishment and admira- tion, for seldom had he seen a more beauti- ful face. He was obliged to acknowledge that he had never seen her hitherto. After all, what resemblance had he expected? The "other" woman, the one of Vanves, he had seen only in the shadow of night, and so as to render it impossible to reoognise her again. The only dues he possessed were that characteristic favourite perfume of hers. and the sound of her voice, which still vibrated in his ears. He tbought-if I could only hear her speak. A single sentence would be sufficient to enable me to recognise her. His heart leaped with joy, for the couple were now slowly walking along the circular alley which passed close to the foot of the mound not a dozen steps from where Baudoin was concealed. They were speaking to one another without the slightest suspicion that anyone was listen- ing. The former soldier, like a. hunter on the watch, who sees his long-expected quarry approach, with beating heart and slightly dimmed eyes, listened with all the attention he was capable of. He heard Marcel say: "Now that you are free do you intend to take up these former plans of yours?" And the woman, in caressing tones. but with an Italian accent, replied: "What is the use? I am now quite old. I am twenty-seven years of age. Artistic tri- umphs would have no value for me now. Sing in a. theatre, in public; be the object of everybody's look*? Oh. no. I no longer think of such a. thing." "And yet you would obtain a great BUO- oess!" "For whom?" They passed by, and Baudoin was obliged to confess to himself tha.t this woman in I mourning had not the same voice as the "other," the one who had brought death with her. He saw the two promenaders disappear into the house, then he heard the clear tones of the piano, and the pure vibrating voice of the young woman arose, filling the silence of the woods with its melodious accents. There- upon Baudoin iSescended the mound, and re- turned to Ars 'pre-occupied and reflective. As he passed in fr^jnt of the post office he entered and wrote the'following dispatch: — and wrote the) following dittpatch:- "Laforet, War Office, rue Saint Dominique, Paris. Come to Ars, near Troyes. Ask for me at works. Baudoin." After paying he watched the transmission of his telegram, and, slightly relieved, re- turned home. At seven o'clock Marcel arrived. He dined without uttering a single word, and immediately afterwards retired into the laboratory, where Baudoin heard him pacing to and fro, far into the night. Meanwhile Mdme. Vignola, seated in her small salon, an oriental cigarette between her lips, was cutting a pack of cards under the complaisant looks of her chambermaid. The latter, a confidential companion, rather than a. servant, was a small, dark-com- plexioned woman. whom Sophia had had with her for the last ten years. Her name was Milona, but she was always called Milo. She had been born in the Carpathians, in the midst of a. gipsy encampment. Her mother had died by the side of a ditch, leaving her, at the age of twelve, quite alone, and exposed to the attentions of a. villain of the band, who had been smitten with the precocious grace of the child. Sophia. as she passed through Trieste, in the course of her adventurous life, had been present, in the court of the inn where she had put up, at a quarrel between Milona and her ferocious suitor. The little one boldly opposed the zingaro, who wished to compel her to follow him. and to his loud-voiced threats, uttered in the Romany tongue, she replied by a. determined denial AND a. flash- ing look of defiance. The whole band, the only relations Milona. knew, supported the! young bandit's pretentions. But Milona continued her refusal when the chief of the band, an old man with grey beard and white ourly hair, a regular patriarch, whose chief business was to steal poultry from the vil- lages they traversed, tried to reason with the young girl. Sophia, with her elbows resting on the win- dow-sill, was enjoying the sight, and a feel- ing of sympathy came over her for this proud child who would not submit to the man's tyranny. She appeared to understand the language these gipsies spoke, and smiled at the highly-coloured expressions of their speech. "Milona," said the venerable poultry-thief, "you are not acting right. You refuse Zambo, who belongs to the tribe, and loves you well, because you have been listening to this little Hungarian Hussar who has lately been making love to you. And yet you are well aware tha.\ he is a dog. an enemy of our race, who will soon tire of you, and leave you all alone. It was to me your mother left you when she died. I have paid for your train- ing and food, taught you to tell fortunes, and all a-bout cheiromancy and the composition of love philtres. Will you be ungrateful and refuse to be the wife of my little nephew, Zambo?" I "I do not law him." eaid tbLezW. dj £ |y. "But he loves you." "That does not matter to me." "But if you resist him, he will kill you." "That is my business!" "Do you intend to leave us. then?" "Yes. I am tired of living on robbery, and being clothed in rags!" "Then pay for your freedom." "I have no money. Wait, and some day the hussar will give me my hands full of money." At these words, Zambo gave a terrible im- precation, and leapt towards the child with the words: "That is the last word yc dhall ever speak!" And, brandishing a long dagger, he R ew himself on Milona. At that ontical 7 < jent the Baroness Sophia gave a shrill, wi ling sound, which drew the ateution of the <hole band, and, speaking in their own tongue. she Mdd: "That is quite enough. I intend to send for the police. You, old man, would you like to sell the girl?" "Yes, your ladyship." "How much?" "Twenty golden ducats." "You thief!" "I cannot take less, your Excellency!" A purse fell into the courtyard at the patriarch's feet. He picked it up with the rapidity of a juggler, counted the money, and, after bowing to the Baroness, said to Milona: "Thank your noble benefactress. She has paid; you are free!" "Come up here, litte one," said Sophia. Immediately Milona, followed by too im- precations ef her disconcerted lover, flew into the inn. The window of the baroness was closed, and the gipsies, with vehement words and exaggerated gestures, tried to give Zambo to understand that girls were far less rare than ducats, and that, though his love re- mained to him on aocount, the till of the troupe would be filled for a whole year. Ever since this strange introduction, Milona had become attached, with a wild and savage affection, to her deliverer. She had served her indefatigably, and with the exception of 1 those terrible secrets, which Sophia entrusted to no one, she knew the life story of her mis- tress. Sophia exhaled a puff of blue smoke, and hesitated before the combination of her cards. "KijV of hearts, nine of spades, and knave of olubs," said Milona, calmly, her finger pointing to the spotted cards. "And then, queen of clubs. knave of hearts, and seven of spades. Still the sune reply. Yon will not succeed!" Sophia raised her bold, though beautiful, eyes up to her companion, and, in her ordinaa-r, aocents, which were different from those in which she spoke Italian, said: "I must succeed, I tell you. I must, Milona* do you hear?" "Shall we try the water test?" V "Yes, we have not tried it for some con- siderable time." Milona. took a. oryetal oup, filled with flowers. She threw the bouquet on to the floor, and after extingmiabing the was omdlw in the chandelier, with one single exception, placed the cup 0..1 the table in such a way that the light might fall upon it from behind. Then, drawing out one of the long gold pins which fastened her hair, she crouched down on a. stool, dipped the metal stem into the vase, and oommenoed a strange chant. In the water, through wbdeli the light penetrated, irisated eddies formed, and the two women attentively watched the broken fugitive lines, the tiny drops, spa.rkling like diamonds, and the bril- liant spirals of the water, stirred to motion by the gold needle. Milon sang: "Water is nought but trouble and mystery. light is certainty and truth. Let the light penetrate the water, and cause its secrets to be revealed. Turn, needle; shine, ray; water, divide." "Look, Milo, look," exclaimed Sophia, ex- citedly. "The water is turning red; it seems to be turning into blood!" Milona continued her chant: "Blood is strength and life. Tke blood of the brain is victory. The blood of the heart is love. Turn needle; redden, blood. Grant us victory and love!" Sophia, on her knees by the side of the table, was anxiously watching with ardent eyes the crystal vase in which the water was whirling round under the impulse given to it by the gold needle in the dim candlelight. "Look! Look again!" she exclaimed. "The water is turning green.' It is shining like an emeraJd "The emerald is the colour of hope, and hope is the joy of life. Turn, needle, water, become glaucous, like the eyes of the &irem whom a man follows to has death!" (To be oontinued to-iaorroa%|
