it THE MASTER OF TREMLAYS" AN HISTORICAL ROMANCE OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. PAJ CHAPTER VII. M. de Becshameil, who, doubtless, held to the good old maxim, Faint heart never won fair lady," resolved' to besiege witji redoubled *pdoiir the obdurate heart of the fair Alice lie Vaunoy. The latter had passed; the greater part of the mormiihg in the society of her aunt, ^tademoiselle Olive, who had endeavoured to ^aw her into conversation on her favourite topics, but Alice only replied in monosyll- ables and at random. Her mind was evi- dently oooupied with some engrossing thought. At length she withdrew and sum- ^^Qed her iraid Renee. "Inform Lipierre," said: Alice; "that I "\t1eh to speaJc to him immediately." When the "atter appeared, Alice could not Strain a gesbure of extreme disgust. Mademoiolle has sent for me?" he said. Are you it all desirous of remaining in Other's ssrviee!" «he demanded, after a si'lenoe. u Very, matfeinoiselle, he replied, drily. I am sony for it," said Alice; "for I Ve Solved upon removing you. If you leave iapinediiaitely, I will reward your — --let. 1 will request Dix, ir 11. father to discharge you. Will you oake this gold ?" "Yes; but I will r&main—a.t all exeats, until mademoiselle deigns to inform ine how I have incurred her hatred.' "Hatred!" repeated Alic. whose features expressed! the most profound contempt. "Y ou are an assassin, Lapierre." The man remained perfectly unmoved. "I know not what could have prompted you to this crime; but it was you who attacked Captain Didier last year in the streets of Rennes." "You are mistaken, mademoiselle," replied Lapierre. It is useless to deny it," she continued; it was I who dressed your wound when they brought you to the hotel, and I found upon you this medallion, which I know be- longs to Captain Didier. You robbed him of it, thinking, no doubt, it was gold." And you, imademoiseile," replied Lapierre, with an ironical smile; you have preciously preserved it although it was but brass!" "Do you still deny it?" demanded Alice, without deigning to reply. Lapierre laughed contemptuously, and Alice arose. ? i QHfcDiot submit to dais," die aaiil., --?_. exasperated. When my father returns-" Who knows when your father will return, mademoiselle?" said Lapierre, in a low voice. What do you mean ?" demanded the young lady anxiously. "We are all mortal," he said, ironically. As to your threat, I care nothing for it. How humiliating it must be to menace a valet in vain But by the name of my mother," cried Alice, almost besidte herself; I do not men- ace in vain. My father shall know a11-" "Chlainge the time—I have a smattering of grammar—substitute the present for the future tense, and you will speak the truth, made- moiselle." "I dlo not understand you," faltered Alice, trembling with agitation. Yes, mademoiselle, you understand me perfectly," replied Lapierre. Exjplain yourself !—tlijis instant explain yourself 1" cried Alice, with an effort. By all means, if you wish it. Your own superior intelligence must have convinced you from the first that no feeling of hatred could scarcely exist between an honest fellow like myself and a fatherless orphan like Captain Didier. This hatred does not, in fact, exist: but fate has been unjust to me. I am but a valet, and, to gain my wages, I may have drawn the sword as though I really hated." It is false," interrupted Alice, in a fever of indignation. You know perfectly well that it is not. I struck because I was orderedr to do so." Wretch diarest thou accuse my f/lother 1" sa.id Alice. I was not aware that I have pronounced the respectable name of M. Herve de Vaunoy. But it is understood, it seems?" I will not believe it." exclaimed Alice. Well," replied! Lapierre, coolly; whether I speak the truth or not, if you feel interested in the fate of Captain Didier, do not lose time in menacing one who is but an instrument in the hands of another; arrest the arm, and soften the heart." He paused, and then added in a low tone. And when your father returns —if it be permitted vou again to see your father—act, without losing an instant." At these words, Lapierre made a profound obei- sance, and quitted the room. Ali,oe sank upon a chair, and sobbed bitterly. My father My father she murmured, "I will not believe it." But a horrible conviction, notwithstanding, forced itself on her nlind-tliat it was her father who had ordered the assassination of Dlidier. She rose, tottering, and rang the bell. She wished to see Didier-to advise him to fly from the house in which his life was in danger; but how could she speak to him without accusing her father? When Renee entered the room, she found her young mistress, who soon afterwards be- came delirious-, on the floor in a fainting fit. At the hour Pierre Rouan was telling his tale to Jude, a man, wrapped up in a, large, mantle, cautiously descended the steep decli- vity of the Wolf Pit. He looked to the right -? and left, and seemed conscious of some inevit- able danger. When he reached the bottom of the ravine, near the old oak where Nicolas Treme had long ago deposited his treasure, he stopped1 to take breath. "Have they not perceived me?" he mur- mured, while his teeth chattered with fear. He was about to resume his route, when three or four men, with masks, bounded out of the thicket, and threw him violently to the ground. "Whom have we here?" demanded one of them, placing his foot oil the breast of the prostrate man. The latter, though terrified, did not seem surprised at the attack. and endeavoured to conceal his features. "My friends." he said, in a. faltering tone: do not ill-treat me; I came here designedly." The deuce you did cried the Wolves; "you are a spy then. Well, you shall die the dieath of one." Saint-Dieu, my excellent friends, do not hurt me. On my honour, I am here to serve you. Lead me to your chief." We can hang him afterwards," said one of the Wolves, a robust sabotier. named Simon Lion, after they had consulted together. The others approved with a gesture; and one of them, whom they called Livaiulre, snatched the prisoner's mantle from his face. The four Wolves draw back in astonish- ment. "The Master of Tremlays they exclaimed, simultaneously. The Master of Trenilays in person, my -??- good friends," said Vaunoy, attempting a smile. We are not thy friends." muttered Livandre, in a low and menacing tone and this time thou shalt not escape .-s. Saying which, he detached a cord from his waist, and, having formed a running noose at one end of it. threw the other over the branch of an old oak. Vaunoy s terror was overpowering. He was utterly unable to explain the object of his visit. He had previously calculated all the chances of his perilous enterprise, but he had not reckoned upon his cowardice, which was r( w about to destroy him. He had left Tiemlays in one of those moments of desperate icsolution in which the most timid become to some degree foolhardy. His hatred for Didier, or rather his passionate desire to cast this stumbling-block out of his path, had, to a certain extent, blinded him to the danger he incurred. He could do nothing himself against Didier, the king's officer, and his official guest, and yet it was necessary that Didier should disappear. It was a question of fortune, which might become also a question of life and death. By a strange coincidence, this young soldier found himself fatally in conflict with Vaunoy on all points at the same time. Alice's lovf for him. and her coldness for Bechameil in consequence, would alone have been a suffi- cient cause for Mnnity for, at this time, when Parliament occupied itself almost- dafrly in investigating the titles of the nobi\ty, it behoved Vaunoy to secure, at any sacrifice the support of the comptroller-royal, on which absolutely depended the opulent in- heritance of Trems. But a more powerful motive still had in- duced Vaunoy to brave the vengeance of the Wolves, and now that it was necessary to act he had become paralysed with fear. Lion seized him across the body. and Livandre placed the rope around his neck. "Haul!" cried the latter, and the wretched Vaunoy was instantly suspended. But at this moment a. fifth person bounded out of the thicket, and severed the rope with a stroke of hi's hanger, and Vaunoy fell in a mass to the ground. "What is the meaning of this. Yuami?" demanded the four Wolves. "Do you not know, comrades?" said Yuamn, "that there is something between this MTetch and our chief for which hanging would be too easy a death?" "Away, then, with him to the chief!" said Livandre in a morose tone. Vaunoy, who had been more frightened than I hurt, rose upon his knees, and took the rope from his neck. The first danger, miraculously avoided, had given him some courage. "Do not allow your people to ill-use mo." he said to Yuami. in a firmer tone; "this rope has very nearly lost you 500.000 livres." Five hundred thousand livres they re- peated amazed. Vaunoy breathed. The effect was pro- duced. Conduct me to your chief," he said, in a tone of authority. They blindfolded1 him, and then led him to -??-?-?_ the summit of the hill, near the ruined towers. Then they began to descend, and he felt a colder air strike upon his cheek. Sometimes his conductors led Mm down steep and slippery staircases, and sometimes carried him in their arms. A confused murmur of distant voices fell upon his ears. Soon afterwards the bandage was removed, and lie found himself in a. spacious cavern, surrounded by a numer- ous body of men. Around a massive table in the centre of the vault wore seated nine old men. the senators of this strange republic. One of them, having made a gesture of silence, de- manded of Vaunoy why he had come to the Wolf Pit. "I wish to see the Wolves," !e replied. It is a sight which may cost s'uee dear, Herve de Vaunoy. Hast thou forgotten all the injury thou hast done ùli r' No; but I counted upon your good sense and your misery—in a word, I wish to rid myself of an enemy!—do you wish to gain 600.000 livres?" Five hundred thousand halters!" cried Yuanii, forcing himself through the crowd to the table occupied by the senate. "Father Touissaint and comrades, do not pay atten- tion t-o what this lying wretch tells you—you know hiim—and. moreover, in the chief's ab- sence, you can decide nothing." (To be Continued.)

I A gentleman ramed Horan returned to Paris after an absence of 30 years in South Africa, where he bad succeeded in amassing a competence.

On alighting at the Gare St. Lazare Mr. Horan took a cab and drove to an apartment* house, where a friend of his used to reside.

Up to the present the police have not beea able to put their hands on the thief.
