master and the flon rattled into the court-, yard. The Count descended first, and leaning- on the arm of his son, ascended the flight of step9. In the immense vestibule, the men-servants stood like a hedgerow of corn-flowers and poppies. I

Their master cast at them a scrutinizing! g-lanco, just as an officer might on hisi soldiers before parade. He seemed satis-! fied with their appearance, and passed on! to his apartments to change his dress for dinner.

The Gr^t half-hour of the dinner passed in solemn silence. The Count' was a great feeder, on prin-' ciple. He was fond of his enormous ap-! petite, which, to a poor man, would have' been an absolute calamity. He was fond of reminding his friends of the great men who wore famous for their digestive pow-' ers. Charles the Fifth ate mountains of meat. Louis the Fourteenth absorbed at

°a-,h

repast what would have satisfied six ordinary men and he maintained that men might almost be judged according to their digestive capacities, comparing them to lamps, whose brilliant light was only

At last he broke the silence by broaching a disagreeable subject. He always adopted these tactics when he wished to goad Albert into speaking.

Well, I hope you've thought better about that love affair of yours, and have given up all thoughts of marrying a girl. who's as poor as a church mouse?"

Are you speaking of Miss de Courcy?" commenced Albert. "Of course of am! There ought to be no deception between us. You know I have set my face against your marrying a woman without money. A man of your birth should think only of his name, and how further to exalt it."

The conversation upon this subject might have become interminable had not Albert, in despite of a visible restraint, kept himself outside the ring" of the discussion, answering some direct question from time to time in simple monosyllables. At last the old Count lost his temper. "Jiy the blood of my ancestors," he cried at last, bringing down his hand upon the table till the glasses rung again, I sometimes think you're not worthy to belong to so great a family as the De Valcourts!"

There are certain conditions of the mind wrhen the least. conversation becomes ex-! tremely painful. For the last hour, Albert had been suffering an intolerable agony. The patience with which he had armed himself deserted him at last. "And if I do not belong to your illustrious race, sir, perhaps no one can give better reasons l'or my misfortune than you can."

The look wit'i which the young Viscount, accentuated this sentence was so full of meaning, that his father started back in his chair.

I don't understand you." AliKM-t would have given anything to recall 1he words but it was too late. "Sir," he continued, with evident embarrassment. I have to speak to you upon matters of the most serious kind—matters so serious that my tongue hesitates hosv to utter them. Your honor, mine, and the honor of tl.e family, are alike implicated."

File's, sir, fac's!" interrupted the /. I want none of your

Coun*, harsi'.lj set snee.-hes.'' Th'-re was then sp deciMori. liv'yv.r "absence,sir, I have been made acquai'.i vd with some of the circumstances of your past lit'e. I have read the whole oi your correspondence with .Madame Valerie (-fordy—"

lanso of soma moments: lhi time with a str.uige

Tiie Count didn't leave Albert the time to tinish his sentence. He sprang to his feet :!s though stung by a serpent, overturning his ''hair as he did so. "Not iiu,, her word!" he cried in a menacing voice—"not another word on your peril!"

But, ashamed seemingly of his sudden passion, he recovered himself almost immediately. and, lifting up his chair with an alteeiation of extreme calm, replaced it at the table.

The'-e was along pause. The father avoided his son's eyes, and spoke, this time in a firm though low voice. "Now, Albert, explain. Tell me by what means you have had knowledge of this correspondence."

Sir, I have no intention to hide anything from you. As far as I know it, you shall know all. On Sunday morning last, a young man presented himselt here, declaring he was charged with a message for me of the highest importance, which nevertheless could be delivered only to me. This man revealed to me the secret of my birth." "And you didn't have the rascal thrust out of our doors?" exclaimed the Count. "No, sir. I might have done so had he not, with a calmness that, contrasted strangely with my passion, desired—nay, demanded that I should peruse a packet of letters which he placed upon the table before me. Taking them in my hand—"

You threw them in the lire, of course?" interrupted the Count, leaning anxiously forward. You had a fire in your room, I know. You can't mean to teli me you had such documents in your hands for a moment only, and that they still exist?"

No. sir I entertain 'il no such thought. They were placed :ny hands in confidence. Besides, I recognized your handwriting. I took the letters—"

And you read them?" "Everyone!" The old Count turned deadly pale, and, reaching his hand to a decanter of brandy that stood on the table, poured out a glass but before he could raise it to his lips, the door was opened abruptly, and a servant, with a frightened face, appeared upon the threshold, whilst others of his fellows were seen furtlnn .lown the corridor, their gestures denoting surprise and alarm.

CHAPTER XXII.

TIIE A BREST.

The pale, face of the old Count de Valcourt. flushed crimson, as he stood facing his servants, with all the arrogance that belonged to the traditions of his ancient race.

What's the moaning of this?" he commenced but before he could finish the sentence, the servant, regardless of his master's imperious bearing, had advanced towards Albert.

Oh, sir!" he gasped imploringly, clutchin"- Albert by the arm as he did so, Come, with me—let me hide you! I've heard the charge—fly whilst there is time! They're here! they're here!" "They? Who?" "The police!"

Albert shook off the hand of the frightened valet, as the door of the dining-room opened, and a commissary of police en­

tered, wearing hi3 scarf and holding a paper in his hand. Without glancing to the right or left, he advanced at once towards the young Viscount.

Your name, I believe, is Albert Lionel de Valcourt, commonly called the Viscount de Valcourt?"

Such is my name." The police officer extended his hand, pronouncing, at the same time, the usual formula, Viscount de Valcourt, in the name of the law, I arrest you!" "Arrest me!—and upon what charge? "Murder!"

Awakened suddenly from the painful conversation that had taken place between his father and himself, the young man's glance wandered irom face to face in utter bewilderment. It rested for a moment upon the indifferent countenance of the commissary of police, and then fixed itself upon the eager, scrutinizing visage of Old Corkscrew. "Here is the warrant," added the commissary, unfolding a paper as he spoke.

Mechanically Albert cast his eyes over it. "The Widow Lerouge murdered!" he cried. Then added, in a whisper, but distinctly enough for his accents to be caught by the commissary of police and Old Corkscrew,

1

owing to the amount of oil they consumed. On the present occasion he eyed his son askance, pretending not to perceive that he was simply playing with his knife and fork, and had hardly tasted a morsel upon his plate.

Then I am lost!" Whilst the commissary of police fulfilled the usual formalities following upon an arrest, according to French jurisprudence, his agents had dispersed themselves about the Viscount's apartments, and proceeded to the most minute examination of all they contained. They had received orders to obey Old Corkscrew, and, under the direction of that astute individual, rummaged the prisoner's private papers pulling out the drawers, upsetting their contents on the floor, and searching, with an exquisite patience, every article of clothing his wardrobe contained. It was a sight worth witnessing to have seen Old Corkscrew's face when he called out certain articles, which were carefully written down in the official report.

First. In the passage or hall leading to the prisoner'B rooms, which is profusely ornamented with old armor, was found a broken foil. This arm has a peculiarlyshaped hilt, not in use at the present day, It is ornamented with a count's coronet, with the initials A. V." This foil is snapped in the middle, and the end has not yet been found. This prisoner, on being questioned, professes entire ignorance as to what has become of the missing piece.

Second. In a small room, serving as a lavatory, a pair of black cloth trousers, spotted with mud, the knees smeared with a greenish hue, as from a moss-grown wall. Also a rent on the right knee, as from a nail. The aforesaid trousers were not hung with the rest of the clothing in the wardrobe, but were thrown behind two traveling-trunks.

Third. In the pocket of the trousers above mentioned were found a pair of pearl-gray gloves. The palm of the righthand glove is marked with a green stain, as from moss or fresh grass. The ends of the fingers are torn, as from scratching or climbing. The backs of the gloves are also frayed, as if torn by the hands of an animal, human or otherwise.

Fourth- Two pairs of boots, one pair carefully cleaned and varnished, but still very wet. An umbrella, moist from recent rain, its ferule covered with a whitish clay.

Fifth. In a large room, called the library, a box of cigars, called Trabucos and upon he chimney-piece several tubes and holders, in amber and meerschaum.

Those hist articles being duly recorded, Daddy Tabaret approached the commissary of police. -I have obtained all that I could have desired'" he whispered. "That young man has spoken the truth for once. lie is lost beyond hope of recovery."

In traversing the vestibule, Albert remarked the huddled groups of servants, ,iiid how they pointed and whispered, as houirh he had been a stranger. Then lie heard a long, low moan in the room beyond, followed by a heavy fall. His heart swelled, and then turned faint, as a voice cried for help, saying that the old Count had just been stricken with an apoplectic lit.

They almost carried the poor young fellow to the cab they had in waiting, and then he remembered no more, for he had fainted.

CHAPTER XXIII.

AN IMPORTANT WITNKSS.

In the meanwhile, Monsieur Daburon, the magistrate, was awaiting with feverish impatience the arrival of a visitor.

Besides the warrant issued for the arrest of Albert de Valcourt, he had issued others for the immediate appearance of the Count de Valcourt, Madame Gerdy, Noel, and several of the servants belonging to the young Viscount.

He wished to examine all these people before the arrival of the accused. The person he now expected was Monsieur Noel Gerdy.

It was half-past nine in the morning, his usual hour for receiving witnesses and commencing business but never in his life had he felt so nervous and utterly miserable at the thought of the ordeal that was before him.

At half-past ten an usher introduced "Monsieur Noel Gerdy." He entered with the easy, unembarrassed air of a man who is perfectly acquainted with all the ins and outs of a law^ court, and no one could have recognized in him the individual who had confided in Daddy Tabaret, much less the nervous lover of Miss Nellie Nicholson.

From the exquisite propriety of his dress, his quiet face, and repose of manner, even the most astute observer would scarcely have imagined that he had passed an evening and night replete wi-th the most violent emotions, after a furtive visit to the girl he loved, followed by anxious hours passed at the bedside ot a dying woman—and that woman, one whom he had, until then, believed to be his mother!

What a difference between the magistrate and himself. The magistrate had also passed a sleepless night—a fact that betrayed itself in his languid step, his careworn face, and the dark hollows round his eyes. "You sent for me, sir," said the young barrister, bowing respectfully "and I have lost, no time in obeying your orders." "You are, of course, aware," said Monsieur Daburon, returning the salutation, "of the unhappy nature of the business that has compelled your appearance here?" assassination of the poor old woman at the village of La Jonchere." "Precisely and if you think the summons somewhat hasty, it is simply because your name appears frequently in the papers found in possession of the

Widow Lerouge." "I'm not in the least surprised at that," \o\vorAn the m. i. answered the barrister

-v.

J*

"Very good! Yon will, of course, be able, then, to ^-iye us some information." "Very insufficient, I'm afraid. In short, I know nothing of the poor creature in question. I was taken from her care in early infancy, and since I've been a man, I've hardly given hor a thought, except to send her from time t& time some pecuniary aid." "You never went to her house?" "Oh, yes—several times but when I did, I only remained a few minutes. Madame Gerdy, who saw her often, and to whom she confided her most private affairs, can enlighten you upon the subject far better than I can." "But," said the magistrate, "I am expecting Madame Gerdy. She has, of coursej received a citation." "She lias but she can't appear sae is ill." "Dangerously so?" "So dangerously, that I think it would be advisable to give up all idea of her appearance in this case. She is attacked with a malady which, according to my friend Doctor Harvey, whose name you possibly know, is fatal. It's something that has attacked the brain. Encephalitus, I think, he called it. Her life, he said, might be saved, but never her reason."

Monsieur Daburon looked very grave. "This is bad news, indeed," he murmured. "And so you think that it will be impossible to obtain any evidence in that quarter?" "It's not even to be thought of. She is quite delirious, and when I left her, was in such a state of physical and mental prostration that I fear she'll not get through the day." "And when was she taken with this illness?" •'Yesterday evening." "Suddenly?" "Yes, sir,"apparently so but, for my part, I've strong reasons to believe that she had been ailing for weeks past. Yesterday,on leaving the dinner table,she took up the newspaper, and by an unfortunate chance her eyes fell upon the very paragraph that announced the murder. With aloud cry,she raised her hands to her head, staggered towauds the sofa, then fell face downwards upon the ground, murmuring, 'Oh, unfortunate boy—unfortunate boy!"' "Boy? Woman you mean." "No, sir those were her words. Evidently the exclamation did not refer to my poor old nurse."

Upon this important answer, given in the most natural manner possible, the magistrate raised his eyes to the young man's face. The barrister bent his head. "And what followed?" asked Monsieur Daburon, after pause, during which he had been making notes. "Those were the last words she uttered. With the help of our servant, I carried her to her bed,and at once sent for the doctor. Since then she has not recovered consciousness. The doctor, in fact "Very good—very good!" interrupted Monsieur Daburon. Stop where you are at present we'll come to the medical evidence afterwards. Now, tell me on your oath, do you know if the Widow Lerouge had any enemies?" ."None that I know of." "Good! She had no enemies, then but do you know if there existed any one who might- have been in any way benefited by her death?"

The magistrate fixed his eyes on Noel, as he asked this question. The barrister hesitated, and seem deeply moved—put out of countenance

:i.

fai*i. In a faltering 'voice, he rwif-ated ids former answer, "None that I know of." •'•"n your oath," said the magistrate, fixirg iiis eyes still more penetratingly on the sduf'.mg ones that met his—"on your oath, can you say that you are not aware of any one who would profit by this crime?" "1 only know one 'thing, sir," answered Noel "and that is. that it 'is likely to do ine the most irreparable injury." "At last," thought Monsieur Daburon, "we come to the letters, and I haven't as yet betrayed Old Corkscrew!" Then he said, aloud, "An irreparable injury to yourself? I don't understand."

Noel's embarrassment increased, rather than decreased at this inquiry. "I'm aware, sir," he answered, "that I ought to speak the truth and nothing but the truth, but still there are circumstances so delicate that a man of honor shrinks from unveiling them."

Monsieur Daburon stopped hirn^ by a gesture. The sad, hesitating voice of Noel touched him. "I know your story," he said "but how I came by that knowledge, I am not at liberty to reveal."

The young barrister turned white to the \tery lips. Then, after a pause, he told his story—a story which is already known to the reader.

With a rare eloquence he expressed his feelings on the morrow of his discovery that he was not the son of Madame Gerdy, but the legitimate son of the Count Lionel de Valcourt. He spoke with feeling of the shock of the discovery, of his grief, his perplexities, his doubts.

Monsieur Daburon listened to Noel's story with the most intense attention. Not a word, ndt a gesture, not even a movement of the eyebrows, betrayed his im pressions. "And how, sir," observed the magistrate, "after having heard what you have told me, can you now say, that no one in your opinion, had any interest in the death of the Widow Lerpuge?"

The young barrister was silent. "It seems to me that the position of Albert de Valcourt becomes almost unassailable. Madame de Gerdy is insane. The Count will deny everything. And all your letters prove nothing. I must con fess that this crime is the luckiest thing that could have taken place in the interest of the young Viscount." "Oh, sir!" cried Noel, in strong protest "such an insinuation is dreadful."

The magistrate looked narrowly into the face of the young barrister. Was he speaking frankly, or playing a little game of his own.

Noel never moved a muscle, and replied almost immediately. "What reason could this young man have to fear, or even be nervous, regarding his position? I have never threatened him, even in the most indirect way, I simply told him the facts of the case, asking him to think over them, and make a final decision." "And he asked you to give him time." "Yes. I asked him to accompany me to the Widow Lerouge, whose evidence would clear away all his doubts, but he didn't seem to understand me. He knew the old woman well, however, having visited her constantly with the Count, from whom, to my knowledge, she had received large sums of money." "Didn't, this extraordinary generosity appear to you somewhat singular? "Not in the least." "Can you explain why the Viscount didn't seem disposed to follow you?" "Certainly. He told me hs wished, above all things, to have an. explanation with hi? F:ither, who was. out town, but

would return in a few days. Now 1 wished to have arranged everything without any public scandal—to have washed in fact, our dirty linen at home." "You didn't intend to go to law, then?' interrupted the magistrate in a surprised itone. "Not on any occount! Do you think, •sir," he added, proudly, "that to recover a name that belonged to me, I should commence by dishonoring it?"

M. Daburon's eyes brightened with a sincere admiration. "I admire your unselfishness," he said, extending his hand as he spoke, and grasping that of the young barrister "but it is my painful duty to tell you that justice must have its course and that, perhaps, before this day is over, you may enter into possession of your rights. In fact, that at this very hour, Viscount Albert de Valcourt has been arrested for murder!" "What!" exclaimed Noel, a sort of stupor. "It's true, then and I wasn't mistaken as to the real sense of your words! The fact is, I was afraid to understand their meaning." "You understand them now, however, sir," interrupted Monsieur Daburon and I thank you for your frank and straitforward explanations. They most materially lighten the painful duty I have before me.

Let me see you again to-morrow. In the meantime, I must ask you to forward me the letters which are in your possession." "In an hour you shall have them," answered Noel. And, taking up his hat, lie left, after hjiving warmly expressed his gratitude to the magistrate.

A few minutes after, the door of_ Monsieur Daburon's office was again reopened, this time, without any preliminary warning.

He looked up in angry surprise. In the doorway stood the figure of the Count Lionel de Valcourt, stiff, pale, and stern, like ono of those ancient portraits that seem frozen in their golden frames.
