SYNOPSIS.—The French Minister of Wa.r 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, 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 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 Lichtenbach (SOA 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. Lichtenbach, it is suggested, is at the bottom of the Tremont tragedy. (The story began in the Evening Express" for May 3.) CHAPTER IV. (continued.) "On the whole, my dear Baroness," he said, "there is some truth in what you have just said, though your Manner of explaining your- aall is mthar szotio. Tsar pampoas and declamatory cynicism is of the Orient. All you have declared a few moments ago may be summed up in a very few words; human in- equality is unchangeable. There are fools and rogues. The first are exploited by the second, under the surveillance of the police and the oontrol of the law. In your theory you have not granted sufficient importance to police and law. I could not recommend you too strongly to pay more attention to them. They are one of the most important factors in the problem you are spending your life in solving. If you consider them as a negleo- tabie quantity one of these mornings you will receive a: rude awakening." She smiled disdainfully: "The small fish are caught in the meshes of the net, the large ones break through and escape. I am afraid of no thing or person except myself. I alone am capable of doing myself any harm. That, of course, I never think of doing." "Not just now. But you have gone through moments of anxiety. I heard tha.t in London two years ago." A dark cloud came over Sophia's brow. She suddenly flung her cigarette into the fire, aud in changed accents, said: "Yes, I have committed aots of folly, for I was in love. And a. woman in love becomes as stupid as a. man." "The object of your affections was an actor, I believe—the handsome Stevenson." "Yes, Riobard Stevenson, the rival of Irving." "You wm BMMBy in lore with, him. bat he played you false. Accordingly, one evening, you found means to entice your rival on board a yacht you had hired, lying at anchor on the Thames. Since that time she has never been heard of." "Ah! You are acquainted with that anec- dote., Indeed, you have been well informed. Do you also know tha.t Stevenson, to whom, in a fit, of madness, I had said that he would never see her again. beat me with his cane, and left me almost dead on the spot'i' "The stick presented to him by the Prince of Wales, doubtless. You must have felt highly flattered. It did not prevent you, two days afterwards, from going to the Empire, and Cheering your brutal persecutor." I "Yes, I loved the wretch, but now, luckily, all that is over." Liohtenbach burst into a laugh. "What have you done with the handsome Cesare Agostini?" "Ah! He forms a mere pastime for me. I must interest myself in someone or other. That is no passion at all." "All the same. be costs you a great deal. I suppose?" "Enormous sums! These Italians a.re ter- rible spendthrifts. This one knows one good way of making money, and ten better ways of spending it. In the first place, he is a gam- bler, and, then. he cannot see a fine ring with- out buying it. But, then, he has a few good quaMties. He is no novice at either pistol or sword." "He is simply a- bravo." "At yot f service if there is anyone you wish to be rid of." "Is he bold and intrepid?" "Yes, but, above all, to be relied on. Tiy him: you will be well satisfied." Lichtenbach's countenance grew dark, as it always did every time a subject was men- tioned which did not please him. and be said in arrogant tonee: "Much obliged, but I do not deal in drama; comedy is sufficient for me." "Ah' You're fond of a joke. You are still one of those good apostles who inainaa-te a crime, have it executed, and then exclaim in candid tones: 1 have had nothing to do with it!' Have you had nothing to do with this fffa-ir at VanTes, I should like to know?" This time Bliaa h*^nTi<r Quite angry- "Silence! What are you thinking of to cry out in suoh a loud voice? Are we the only ones in the house?" She burst into a laugh. "Well! Well! You amuse me! For an hour you have been telling me my own history, without the slightest precaution, and when I make the slightest allusion to your's you tremble with fear. You do not mind compro- mising me. but not yourself. Very kind of you." "My daughter is here, and I have no wish-" "For her to know you under your real aspect. For you are a regular scoundrel, Lichtenbach, and of the very worst kind, one who wishes to keep up appearances, even with one's accomplices. Do you think you can deceive me, eh ? Your Jesuitism has no effect on me; I am well acquainted with your lubri- city. In the whole world there is no more villainous character than yourself, and yet you wish to be taken for a man of honour and virtue!" Lichtenbach, pale with fear and! anger, ex- claimed "Baroness! Really, you wish to throw me into a passion." "Oh, no! No! Now. I will be very nice with you. Listen, my voice is a mere whisper. Lean over and listen. I need a hundred thou- sand francs to-night, to have Hans carried off to Geneva. He can bear the journey now. Cesare has gone to see him." ":60 you think he will survive?" asked Lich- tenbach. "Yes. That vexes you. You would rather I be well rid of him. Calm yourself, he would bite off his tongue rather than betray a com- panion. Besides, what does he know? That I your in1 erests were the same as ours. and that, had he found the formulae for the explosive for. commerce. you would have paid as much for them as these for whom we are working would have paid for the war explosive. The coup missed. Hans is maimed. But, thanks to me. you are free from all suspicion." Looking calmly at Elias, she said: *"A hundred thousand franca, on account." "On account? "Yes, on account. And do not waste any time. General de Tremont. whom you hated eo strongly, has been kiU,4 for you. How much would you give Bor Baradier and Graff?" "Nothing! Nothing! groaned Lichtenbach. "What crimes are the Ie you are laying to my account? I wish for the death of General de Tremont, and anxious to harm Baradier and Graff? You are wand tring. It is sheer mad- ness! Certainly, the: f are my enemies, and have done me a grea i deal of harm. But. commit a crime on 1 fcat account! Never! Xever! If they were to die. ah! I should con- sider it as a Divine ] providence, but hasten their last moments by a jsingle hour or minute, 1. great God!" "Of Abraham, of Jac pi), and of Moeea: Yes, my fine renegade! M; r good Lichtenbach!" said the baroness with ia look of scorn. Yes, you are quite ready to accept the favours of Providence, incarnated under the featuree of the Baroness Grodsko. tut you will not take the initiative yourself. Hypocrisy again! You ask for nothing, but y< on acoept all! Well. your unuttered prayer tiall be granted!" "Baroness! In the nan: ? of God. do not com- promise me. Do not pr tceed without instruc- tions." "Ah. ah! How terrifi sd you are. You remind me of old Tremol it when I handled his ohemicaj products after, iessert. 'Don't touch that, it is deadly!' he -would say. Mean- while, I tried to take in wax the impress of the lock of the iron cas] net, which Hans suc- ceeded in opening, but which cost him his arm. And all for nothin; r. The box blew up and destroyed the secret an the midst of the flames. But some one b: ts this secret, and I I must find it out. Whal tever it cost, I will Obtain possession of it," "What have you been pr cruised for it?" She looked at him with t laugh. "You are very inquisitive! Don't think I shall tell you, however. ¡ Professional pride apart-for, after all. one d pes not care to fail in a mission of this impot tance—the affair is worth all the trouble lam taking. Mean- while. my hundred thousan Jl france!" Lichtenbach opened a dr. wwer. took out ten bundles of bank-notes, and Aeld them out to the baroness. "Here they are." "Thanks. Now. Lichtent ach, what would you say if it were young Mst wAl Baradier who WU the depository of old Tit. moot's formal* ?" Elias sat up with renewed intereet. "What! What makes you think?" "Ah. ah! Cannibal, you have just smelt human flesh, and have become quite young again in consequence." "Baroness, you will kill me with anguish." "All! Yes, you look as though you would die, indeed! Hate, Lichtenbach. A-h, hate is a far stronger sentiment than love, is it not?" He made no reply. The only thing that was now of importance to him was the supposi- tion Sophia had just given utterance to. He saw nothing, except that the son of his deadly enemy might poseibly be in possession of this secret they were so anxious to fathom. If only it were possible' Suppose chance were to give him the opportunity of crushing the very people he hated with all his soul, and. at the same time, depriving them of a fortune. He asked the baroness in eager tones: "What makes you think the general took Marcel Baradier into his confidence?" "In the first place, they saw one another constantly; the young man was admitted into his laboratory, a most exceptional favour. I know well he worked there, with Tremont, who had entire confidence in him. However mys- terious a man may be. however close and sullen, a fatal hour is sure to come. when he is forced to unburden himself. The general would never have imparted his plans to a man. even to his best friend, for he was as cunning as a fox. But. after dinner, with a good cigar between his lips. he felt strongly impelled to dazzle me. and ae He could not do this either by his youth or his beauty, he attempted to gain me over by his genius. In this way. on several occasions, he let slip several small incidents, which, collected and co-ordinated by a good memory, form a cer- tainty." "Then all is not lost?" "Nothing is ever lost." "Then what are you going to do. baroness?" "You shall know when it is to my interest to tell you." "Ypu have no confidence in me?" "Under what pretext should I have confi- dence in you? I know you only too well. You will serve me until the time comet when yon will find it more to your advantage to throw me ever." "11" "Ion. Elias Lichtenbach. bnt that is all the same to me. I hold you now." "Do you hope to succeed?" "I always hope to sucoeed. Look at me now please." She threw back her head with a movement of voluptuous grace, which seemed to inten- sify her beauty a hundredfold. She smiled. and her eyes and lips assumed an expression of passionate ardour which sent a thrfll through the veins of Lichtenbach. Who coal. resist this creature's imperious power? She well knew the extent 01 her charm. At sign from her men became changed ttttw slaves. She was the n.ueicran who loosened human passions and appetites and led lost creatures to folly, shame, and crime. "Yes. you will succeed in whatevei- ym undertake." marmured Lichtenbach, fasci- nated by her charm. "No exaggeration! I am not infaJlible, as you know, sinoe Tremont escaped me. Still, I will do everything a human being can do to succeed. Have confidence, and kieep calm, that is all I ask." A rolling of wheels was heard under the carriage-gate, and a trampling of horses' hoofs announc,ed the return of Mdlie. Lichtenbach. "It is my daughter returning," said the banker "Then she is at home for the present?" "She wished to assist at the funeral of the General de Tremont. whose daughter is a friend of her's." A enaile flitted a-cross the lips of the baroness. "Chance or precaution?" "Chance," said Lichtenbach, coldly. "TKej are both at the Sacre-Coeur. They found themselves thrown together, and a mutual atta.ehmen t. | "And now that you know of it, you enco* rage this intimacy?'' "I never oppose my daughter." "That is true, I forgot; you are a pood, father, Lichtenbach. It is the last concession J you have made to humanity. And it is tnc»v that you are still vulnerable. Take care!" "My daughter is an angei, who prayg for me. I dread nothing. She has her motbler's goodness and grace." "And she imagines you to be a, good and honourable father. Suppose the day were to oome when her eyes were opened about youv eel! ?" tm. Yueafeeyefc j
