THE RED -CHANCELLOR.
THE RED CHANCELLOR. A ROMANCE, By SIR WILLIAM MAGNAY, Bart., Author of The Heiress of the Season," The Man. TrapJn The Pride of Life," &c. CHAPTER XXV.- Continued. I Von Lindheim s Departure. I Whereupon we called Von Lindheim and communicated the plan to him. The situa- tion and his chances were discussed as we went; details of his flight and the safest route were arranged. The cottage, a literal shooting-box, was soon reached, a curiously bare little place furnished simply with neces- saries and, with the exception, perhaps, of one armchair, none of the luxuries of life. Here Strode provided an excellent luncheon, considering the resources of the place, fish and game and ham, with an assortment of delicatessen and a capital bottle of wine. Then we equipped Von Lindheim for his journey, making him as much like a travel- ling Briton as possible, towards which an old suit of Strode's went a long way. Everything that could be was changed, even down to the linen, which now bore the Englishman's name, proof positive of his identity. Then, furnished with the all-important passport, a travelling-bag, a flask and sandwiches, he set off with us to intercept the Eilwagen, which was soon to pass through the valley below. Both he and I were depressed at the thought of the parting, and I am sure our minds were full of darker forebodings than we cared to acknowledge; but Strode's dry humour and happy-go-lucky temperament kept up our spirits; carelessness of self is infectious, as every soldier knows. We reached the spot where the Eilwagen was to pass, and after some twenty minutes' waiting it lumbered into sight. Thereupon we bade Von Lindheim God-speed and left him, thinking it just as well that he should I appear alone. Still, in that wooded country we were able unobserved to see the last of him, and it was with satisfaction we noticed that the only passenger so far was an old market woman who sat beside the driver talk- ing volubly. The accent of our friend's hail was worthy of a real Englishman; the jolting vehicle pulled up, he threw in his bag and took his seat. There was just time for a wave of the hand unseen by the other occupants. and a turn in the road shut him from our sight. I must confess that it was with a good deal of relief that I saw Von Lindheim safely on his way. I had my doubts as to the probabi- lities of his ultimate escape, the more so as I mistrusted his nerve at a critical juncture. Still, something had to be done. he had the advantage of a good start, and I had arranged that if there was no more chunce of helping Fraulein von Winterstcin I would follow him, it might be on the next day. But that was not-to boe., I could not quite make up my mind whether it would be as well to tell Strode the real reason of my staying on at the inn in the Geierthal. His pluck, contempt 01 danger, and promptness of resource were all that I could wish; he was. I felt sure, staunch enough; yet I hesitated, and, although more than once on the point of doing so, said noth- ing that day of the imprisoned, girl. We had plenty to talk of on our way back in the recital of the Chancellor's methods of secu- ring secrecy. However, I did not tell Strode what the particular affair was that had brought these men to their death. We made an arrangement to meet and ehoot on the morrow, and I went back alone to the Geier- thal. On reaching the inn I found the coffee-room occupied by a young fellow whose appearance was so curious that I gave him a second glance. He was poorly dressed, of a very dark complexion, his lip was fringed with a slight moustache, while a mass of untidy black hair fell over his collar and stood out in front from beneath his cap, almost veiling his eyes. By the eide of his pla.te stood an old concertina. A tramping musician, I thought; then looked again, and, from habit, became suspicious. However, he had as much right there as I. so I ordered my dinner, explaining to the innkeeper that that my friend was sleeping that night at the Englishman's cottage to be ready for an early shoot in the morning. Presently the young man took up his con- certina and went out. From the window I saw him seat himself on the bench in front of the house, roll a cigarette and lazily smoke it, playing the wfhile softly on his instrument. "A travelling musician?" I asked the land- lord. He gave a shrug. I think so. He says he came from Oarlzig to-day. They sometimes pass this way, but not often; there is not much to be picked up here. No people, no pence." I thought it strange enough to be suspicious; but when I went out a. little later the musi- cian was gone and I saw him no more. CHAPTER XXVI. I I Shoot With the Count. I I resumed my watch that night, but all my vigilance and patience were without result. The Monastery was as dark and lifeless as ever. There was no more digging in the wood; for that I was thankful, since now there seemed a good chance that Asta von Winter- stein was alive. It seemed almost as though there were some reason for sparing her life, or why had a false report of her death been spread. But the whole affair was a puzzle at which I could but vaguely guess. Next day, however, adventure began to loom again before me. After breakfast I was in my room preparing an equipment for the day's sport when the inn servant announced that a gentlema was asking for me below. I naturally supposed in was Strode, who had come over instead of waiting at the appointed meeting-place. What was my surprise on running downstairs to find myself face to face with Count Furello. Count Furello in sporting garb, a gun in his hand and a dog at his heels. He greeted me effusively. "My dear Mr. Tyrrell! You! This is un- kind of you, to keep me in ignorance of your being within reach of my hospitality. I hear to-day, by accident, that an Englishman is staying here. I hasten to offer my services, and I find you! Well, and how do you like our Geierthal? Is it not picturesque enough for .you? I hope your stay will not be as short as most of your countrymen would make it." With a now of polite.chatter he followed me into the coffee-room. I had recovered from the effect of his unexpected visit and was now on the alert. "You, too, are for sport to-day," he conti- nued, having declined my offer of refresh- ment. "You shall come with me to my pre- serves. I can promise you some sport. You can have found but rough shooting on the common land here." Now, needless to say. my distrust of this man was absolutely unmitigated. I knew that his tone and his professions were utterly fa.lee; that the real object of his call was, in all probability, of a far more sinister nature than to show hospitality or afford me sport. Nevertheless, having no fear for myself and aa intense desire to penetrate the mystery of Fraalein yon Winterstein's fate, I rather welcomed the Count's appearance. It might I — at least give me a chance of action, of mert watching to no purpose I had had enough. So after a moment's thought I resolved tO accept Furello's invitation, a decision he re- ceived with a satisfaction which was assu- redly the only genuiue sentiment he had ex- pressed during the interview. Under pre- tence of making a change in my clothe&, I ran up to my room and scribbled a note of excuse to Strode, which the innkeeper undteiv took to have conveHd to him forthwith. I had my reasons for keeping Strode and Furello apart, at any rate for that day, and had I mentioned my engagement- I thought the Count would have insisted on his joining ns. Also it will be Obvious that there was Voa Lindhem's absenoe to be accounted for. I changed my .t. rejoined Furello, and we set out. As I anticipated, he presently re- marked, "You have a companion staying with you. Would he not care to joiJt us ne- stopped as though to turn back. "He is away," I answered; "staying with A friend some distance from here." "Ah!" We walked on. "Your friend is 3tob a countryman of your own?" "Oh, no," I returned in a tone of frank con- fidence; "it is our friend Von Lindheim, of Buyda. He has been dangerously ill. and we thought a change of air and scene woald set, him up again." "No doubt." I could not help thinking that my com- panion was turning over in his mind certain plaus for neutralising the vivifyng effect of the Geierthal's air. "Your friend returns soon? Yes?" "I expect him to be with me in a day 01* two," was my disingenuous answer; pardon- able, I hope, under the circumstances. "In the meantime I shall hope to supply. however unworthily, his place of companioa. to you." I seemed to catch a feline look in the face beside me, and thought that the unworthiaess on which he had insisted so prettily might not be wide of the mark. We soon reached the private woods of the estate, and as the Count showed me the way and pointed out the view of the Monastery I wondered whether he knew how familiar I already was with it. all. For I had come to be surprised at nothing in that net work of spies and assassins. Sport was plentiful; black game, ptarmigan, pheasants, and h-ams fell in dozens before our guns. A pic-nic luncheon was brought out to us on the hills, and afterwards, when we had lighted our cigars, the Count chatted away gaily as though he had nothing more heinous than the death of a pheasant on his conscience. He explained how it was that his intended stay of but one day in the Geierthal had been prolonged. His sister, who lived at the Monastery with him. had. been ill, and did not like being left alone in that out-of-the-way spot. "You, as a bachelor, my dear Herr Tyrrell," he said. "are perhaps scarcely in a. position to realise the subtle influence which womenkind exercise on our movements. Had I to choose men for a dangerous, a critical enterprise, I would take care to reject all those about whom I might suspect any feminine tie or entaiiglemeut. ttost Of the successful men. who have lu*& history have been those who either by nature or experience were able to take love as a mere episode, an interltxts. to be swept, off the stage when the øeene was set for the nSxt act of the real drama of their lives. Pardon me if I speak too strongly. You English are noted for a nice cultivation of the domestic virtues." "And yet we have made history." "True. But your greatest men would come under my category. And the very fact tha.t. Englishwomen are so domesticated shows that they have been kept in their proper place and not allowed to interfere in their husbands' or lovers' careers. You are men of action, and I fancy are often roused to it from a longing for change from the monotony of the very virtues on which you pride yourselves." I laughed and did not contradict him. "Now, you, my dear friend," he went on. "your love of movement and adventure is, I venture to say, untinged by the thought ot any woman. The green eyes were on me. He was watch, ing me narrowly. "Naturally," I replied carelessly. "The age of knight-errantry is long past." "Is it?" The mouth was drawn back and the eyes glittered with a vicious sueer--at least, so it seemed to me. "Is it not?" I rejoined with a. laugh. "Are we not all too full of commercial common- sense nowadays? Even for an isolated case here and there, you think?" I have not heard of one. Perhaps your experience. Count, is more interesting than mine." He gave a shrug. I have seen curiouf things in my time." "I can well believe you," was my mental comment. "And," he continued in a tone of polite. but, to me, somewhat repulsive banter, "my imagination could easily construct of you, my young friend, a wandering knight seeking adventures." "At least, it is on my own account," I laughed. Ah, yes. The motive nowadays is le" ?illogical than formerly. if quite as unprofit- able. You, now. might be earning a name for yourself at home in one of the professions, but you prefer to wander about in out-of-the- way corners of Europe. For what? For the pleasures of a roving life and the excitement of not knowing when you wake wha.t the day may bring forth." "It is preferable, at least, to the humdrum holiday of the ordinary tourist." Holiday! He looked incredulous. Scarcely a holiday in the sense in which most men understand the term. You are tied. I presume, by no limit of time or means: is it not rather the business of your life now to rove where you will, answeralfle to no one, cut off from all ties, your very family in total ignorance of your whereabouts?" Perhaps so." I answered unthinkingly, for the man's manner rather irritaUd me. "We English hate the idea of dependence and supervision; our freedom is absolute, in effect, as well as in name." I had reason before many hours were over to realise the rashness of that speech. But at the moment disgust for the hideous methods of a despotic government were so strong within me that I did not weigh the possible effect of my words or see the trick which had led me to make the admission. The Count rose. I think, if you are rested, we may turn our faces homewards now. We have an hour's walk. and I wager shall flush some game on our way. I hope, Herr Tyrrell, that you will do me the honour of joining us at dinner. We dine sans ceremonie to-night, and in her state of health my sister will be glad if we all renounce full dress." The invitation was. I felt, one which on the score of my personal safety it was madness to accept. But my great desire was to get insjde The monastery, since from without I could do nothing. It was for that I had spent the di- with a, man I loathed: to accept his hospitality was entirely repugnant to me: but I was fighting against odds to save a human life: I had to avail myself of every advantage I might get. and could not be squeamish. The risk, I knew, was fearful; no greater, though, to me, a strong man, than her danger to the imprisoned girl. I had my wits about me. my revolver in my pocket; I felt that the path here divided, and I had to choose between that of duty and that of cowardice. The chance I had prayed for had come. At the worst it was but another grave in the wood for a man who had done his duty. t I accepted. (To he continued).
