I PUBLISHED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT. THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY. f By GEORGE OH NET, Author of "The Ironmaster," "Serge Panine," &c. I [rOPYRIGHT.] PART I. SYNOPSIS OP PREVIOUS CHAPTERS. Chapter I. (■which commenced iu the "Even- ing Express on May 3) opens with the discovery of a tragedy at the house oi General de Tremont, a man with a clis- tingaished carecr, who in later life dabbled in chemical experiment. Inquiry appears to show that the general was murdered in the grounds of his hou^e. 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. whose arm was found in the ruins. CHAPTER I. (continued). "More than that. Personal hatred, dating from long back, and madly fomented. They say that Lichtenbach formerly wished to n2arry Mademoiselle Graff, and that he has never been able to swallow the insult Graff inflicted on him hy refusing the proposal and bestowing his sister's hand on his friend Bara- dier. Between these two families there is a whole sfnes of differences and grievances, which makes them implacable enemies." "Still, General, you see iiO relation between this hostility, and the death of General de TremontP" "Not at all. Liclltenooch is a fervent Catholic, in close touch with the Orleanist party, and. in my opinion, incapable of a dishonourable action. Besides, what could it matter to him whether Tremont lived or died?" "Might not the General's investigation* have a. serious interest for the Lichtenbach firm?" "Doubtiess! But we arc well aware that Trenpnt ha* been specially occupied within the p.t few weeks with the manufacture of .a war powder, the formidable effects of which we have seen in the Vanves explosion. True, the powder in, question might become a source of great profit by its possible applica- tion to industry in modified proportions. In mines, for instancs, or the blasting of quar- ries, it would certainly have replaced dyna- mite. There would have been a fortune in this application of the powder, and this Tre- mont was w U aware of. Now it is all vanished in smoke, and the General has taken his secret with him." "Unless he had communicated it to the son of M. Baradier." "Ah! That would indeed be strange!" Three o'clock struck. The Minister arose, .and took up his hat, gloves, and stick. t "You are going. General." "Yes, I am going to speak to Baradier on the whole matter. MadWmo Baradier was particularly interested in Mademoiselle de Tremont. I intend to pay a visit of condo- lence, in person, to this young lady. iter father and myself were great friends, Pwe have made campaigns in Mexico and on the Loire together, whilst, on the retreat from Mans, Tremont saved all our lives, by an admirable battery arrangement in the rear of the army, which cut short the pursuit of the Prussians. A fine soldier! One who deserved fo fall on a field of battle! But the fate decides such things. Everybody does not die the death he wishes! Well. I will see you to-morrow, Vallenot. And if you hear of any- thing fresh, ring me up by telephone." The Colonel accompanied his principal right to the largo staircase Baluted, and returned to the office. CHAPTER li. I In an old hotel situated at the end of a large courtyard. in the Rue de Provence. nas been established for niore than fifty years the banking firm of Baradier and Graff. Follow- j ing on th-s war of 1870. it was usual in business to designate this establishment under the com- pany n-ime of Alsaco-Loiraine. They are' ardent I atriots, and never since the annexa- tion ha "0 they returned to Metz. Still, they have ne^er been willing; to sell any of their land pre peri in the lost provinces. They have kept a foot on the soil torn from France, as though they had no doubt they would return to it some day. like roasters after a long and sorrowfnl absence. Baradier ie a man of 55 j years of age, stout and short, with ruddy. pleasant face, lit up by light blue eyes. Graff is tall and thin, dark-omplexioned, and of stern, f6rbiddin men and biabrous counte- nance, the complete opposite of hiB ally. both physically and morally, r or Baradier, with his engaging exterior, is an influential and practical man; whilst Graff, with his cold and reserved aspect, possesses the fancy and sen- sitiveness of a poet. In other respects, admirably equipped, the imagination of the one moderated by the prudence of the other. and all rough points in the dobermina'tian of the former being miti- gatod by the benevolent gentleness of the latter. In financial circles this fortunate want of similarity of disposition was well known. Never did a customer, after Tailing with Baradier, lea-vo the house without calling. at Graff's o&ceto a,ppeal for his intervention. I and obtaining a "just leave the matter to me, I will arrange it all" preliminary balm on the sore of displeasure, followed, in the majority of instances, by an arrangement i profitable t) both, pai tioe. For, in the long run, the two partners had reached such a point I tha.t they profited by the differences in their dispositions, and Baradier pretended to be altogether irreconcilable, well knowing that Graff would come in afterwards, and have the pleasure of arranging everything to suit all I concerned. Baradier.- hearty and happy-looking, had t two children, a aged 36. and a daughter of eighteen, both admirably brourht up I by their mother. Graff. solemn and aentimen-1 tal, had remained a bachelor. As Marcel Baradier said jokingly, he would be the best uncle in France in point, of inheritance. In fact, Madame Baradier's brother loves the two children as though they were his own, and every time Marcel commits some grave act cf folly lie always appears to Cncle Graff to settle tilings, as his father is rather strict with him. Father and sou, unfortunately, have often been on anything but good term." for Marcel, reared in the lap of luxury, and early discovering the mercantile value of his name, h"s not always given his family JIJI the satisfaction that might have been desired. "Nothing important," said Uncle Graff; "merely money difficulties t" It was so that the taciturn and modest banker, who would not have spent a farthing outside of his daily expenses on anything else than charity, called the debts which young Marcel periodically gave him the opportunity of paying. When his nephew came for him at night, after dinner before leaving for the club, where he went to indulge in a game of cards, Uncle Graff knew at once his errand. He a-asumes his m >3t gloomy aspect, sinks into his armchair, casts a veiled glance at his rather embarrassed heir, and. in aepntchral tones, demands: j "Well! what ÏI it this time?" I Then. as Marcel develops his usual request; terribly bad luck at the races, or at baccarat, or some love difficulty, Graff looks at, his sister's eon, and. without listening to a word, says to himself: What a handsome fellow! How could one with such a figure help getting into a scrape? He is popular everywhere by reason of his graciotwness and/amiability. He is only 26. and is it not quite natural that he should enjoy himself while he is young? Why do Baradier and Graff engage in banking operations all day long, CMioua as to what is happening at the London and Berlin Ex- changee. as well as keeping an eye on tin* Bourse of Paris, if not for this charming and agreeable young fellow to enjoy himself whilst they are working? Well! Marcel, take your pleasure. and ta.ke my share as well, for am I not your sta^ard? Off to the races in a fine turn-out. drawn by prancing horses, and take 7. ir place in the mo-t exclusive society; your means, thosu of the farm of Baradier, will per- mit of aJI this. All the same, do not squander I too much ivi gambling; do not wager in too extravagant a fashion, for this is an evil pas- sion, and very harmful to those who recklessly give themselves up to it. In all things else do as you wish, and then come back and give your old uncle the pleasure of asking a service of him. All these reflections, however. crowding into his mind, and giving him the most perfect satisfaction, Uncle Graff kept wisely to him- self. Aloud, he '!aid, in that Lorraine a-coent, he had never erncceeded in destroying. "How stupid you are. Marcel! to be swindled by a crowd of adventurers. A member of the firm of Baradier and Graff ought not to behave in this way. If your father knew be would be furious. What reply can 1 give him when he accuses me of encouraging your bad conduct? He is quite right, and I am wrong to give yon uioney when yon make such barpuse of it. I shall finish by cutting off your allowance. Do you know now much you have received from me since the beginning of the year?"' And ae the old bachelor pretended to turn the leaves of his cash-book, Marcel, terrified, exclaimed: "Oh! Uncle Graff, it shall be the laRt tiIIl£ "It is always the last time!" replied the old uncle. "Well! Tell me all about it." And Marcel would enflame the old bachelor's tender soul with his enthusiasm, and end by obtaining all he wanted. Still. Uncle Graff had some excuse. Marcel did not neglect his work. Admirably endowed by nature, the young man, as though in sport, had advanced considerably in his studies. He had opposed the General de Tremont, who wished him to enter the Polytechnic School, and after-wards the Artillery. He had pre- ferred the Central and the general's chemical laboratory. UndeT the iperviaion of his father's friend, he had made interesting re- searches into mineral colouring matters, and given Baradier the pleasure'of saying: "We employ in our works dyeing processes, in- vented by my son, and which are absolutely unique." It wa.s one of Uncle Graff's grand arguments when defending Marcel: "You know very well that your son is a re- markable man, our manufacturss owe much to him!" Whereupon Baradier would reply, furiously: J "Ah! If only he would be serious! He has I every quality necessary. but he will not make use of his gifts. Our fine young fellow will work a month a year, and spend the other eleven in reckless folly!" For all that, for some time past. Marcel seemed to have cohered down. or. rather, his mind was occupied in investigations of more than usual interest. He no longer appeared at the club. scarcely ever went out at nights, and but for the fact that he still went to the races on Sundays, one might have imagined he had entirely changed his life. Both Bara- dier and Graff were equally surprised at this transformation, the father was pleased, the uncle uneasy at. it. They had spoken on the matter to the general, who had said to them: "He is an extraordinary young man; you will continually have surprises with him. but do not be anxioue, he will turn out a fine man in the end. He has great gifts. Just now lie is trying to diooover some pnxjess of colour photography. Surprising results have already bc-en obtained. Let him alone, do not hinder him, and you will see!" Graff's triumph was a brilliant, Karadier'fi a quiet one. Maroel had not even noticed the effect caused on his family. He had almost completely quitted Paris. For three weeks he ha.d been living at Troyes, at the Ars manu- factory. shut up in his laboratory, only return- ing to embrace his mother, and give the gene- ral an account of the progress of his work. The old chemist and the young inventor then spent delightful days in verifying prescriptions and practising experiements. The one com- munica.ted his calculations in the dosings of powders, the other explained his superpositions of plates to obtain the perfect stereotypes he sought. Then they would lunch together, and the general, as warm-hearted as the young man. would relate his former escapades. and envy the youth, whilst admiring the strength and intelligence of this fine young fellow be- fore him who combined eo perfectly the capacity for stndy and pleasure at the same time. In spite of the storms caused by Marcel's caprices, life for Baradier and Graff woaid have flown along pleasantly enough bad not destiny brought them in touch with Lichten- bach. Moses, the chief of the firm, son of a Jew marine-store dealer of Passy-^ar-Mose'.le, had in past uin-es been at school with f> raff at Metz. Old Graff, who was a brewer, hdd deal- ings with Ldohtcnbach, "the rabbit-skin dealer." oR he called him jokingly, and sold him all his broken glasses and used-up barrels. He imag-incd him to be poor, and liked to give him the chance of earning a little money. Moses Lichtenbach might have been seen in the streets of Meiz driving an old grey horse, harnessed to a wagon, in which the marine- store dealer piled up all kinds of goods a.da rubbish. He was a kind, oi wholesale rag- picker. who helped house-wives to get rid of utensils which were no longer of any use. and were becoming an encumbrance. lie bought, them chef p. but not for nothing. Sometimes. almost ashamed of loading him with corroded stove-pipes, broken shovels, worn-out carpets, and even old straw. or shavings, they would say to him.- Take this, Moec-s, for the trouble of carting it away. He would reply; "No! no! Everything has some value or other; I pay little, but I pay." It was a point of honour with him to pay. Several people shrugged their shoulders, with a smile, as they said to themselves: The old madman that he is! What use will he mak* of all that rubbish? They were ip the wrong. Everything had a value, as Moses affirmed, and this was proved when, after the war, the old man left Metz. and settled in Paris, in the rue de la Chauseee d'Antin, in a small shop, above the door of which he had painted the sign: Lichteait;aah, money-changer. It vaa in this modest counter that the ilufil-y dealer, leaving Lorraine, which had become pan. of the Empire, had commenced his new business, ceasing to buy and sell old iron in order u' buy and sell money. Bnt one grave event had happened, which had in no slight degree con- tributed to tne exodus of the Lichtenbach family from Pasey w Paris, and to the ohange of business. The first cannon-shots of Uic- war, fired ftf. Forbach. had been, for the majority of the in- habitants oi Metz and its environs, the IIlgoa-l for departure. The farmers and pea&uits strictly bound down to the land were the on.y one;) to remain in the villages. All who were free of action had loaded the wagons with their trunks, and reached the towns, to shelter themselves from the enemy, whose approach was announced by defeats and disasters. The highways in the direction oi Thionville, Metz. and Verdun were covered with carts ind flocks. The majority of the fugitives made their way towards the interior, making iorced marches, to escape the invasion, which. accor- ding to them, must, of necessity, halt, crushed before the strong-holds of the East. Contrary to the general impulse. Moses, decided on leaving Passy. had not bent his steps towa..Na the centre of France. Instead of moving away from the invader he had marched towards him, and, lea-ving behind in the shop every- thing cumbersome and worth bAd reached Metz with six baggage wsgnu& carefully covered, and had settled in a gmal, street meM tho cathedral, with his wife and son, EliM- (To be Continue* Tomorrow.)
