PUBLISHED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT. T WOMAN OF MYSTERY. By GEORGE OHNET, Author of "The Ironmaster," "Serge Panine," &c. [COPYRIGHT.] I I PART I. f SYNOPSIS.-The French Minister of War I receives in audience Colonel VaJcnot,, who explains to him in detail iha result of his examiaatiou of the wrecked house of General de "Fremont. Tremont had but recently dis- fovereil a now 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 bad enter- tained two unknown per&oBs—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 (son 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 Baj-adier, 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 III. (continued.) "What a. pity! Just the time when his ex- planations would have been eo useful." "It is always so!" "Had he made no fresh male aoquajmt<MMM? Was there no nsuna too could catob P" ————— "He spoke to me of no one except a- foreign savant, with wliom he had struck up a friend- ship, and who seems to have been an extras ordinary man. He suspected him of being a Nihilist, and that worried him. But heepoke of him with the utmost admiration." "Was he a Enasian?" "I do not know. His name was Hans." "Haa^s!" exclaimed Baradier. "That was the name of the man whose arm was torn off! it is the name on the ring worn by the man who caused the explosion of the house at Vanves. This is the first flash of light. So the General was acquainted with this Hans? Still. Hans is a. German name!" "Only a German Christian name. Aa you are aware, there are several Russians of German origin. If the Hans in question is the author of that catastrophe, the end he aimed at by obtaining access to the General might well be the possession of the formulas of the explosive found by him. But, then, bow had he become acquainted with the discoveries the General kept strictly secret?" Graff, who had not yet spoken, but had been listening in a reverie to the observations ex. changed between his brother-in-law and his nephew, raised his hand, and slowly began, as though following; the slender thread of a still fugitive idea: i "You are getting lost. The motives of the instigators of this crime-for, certainly, there are several of them-are of a. much higher order than you imagine. Y Oil are looking for robbers trying to obtain possession of gome exocedmyly frnit^sl diioorary, or of Anarchist* on the scent of some powerful meane of ex. termination. All this is very vulgar aaid commonplace. TOO ha?ve to deal with crimi- na,le-of a higher The care they took to rob Tremont after killing him proves tha.t his murderers wished to throw one off the scent. When one has a house to pillage, he does not linger -behind to steal a. watoh or a pocloet- book. The mysterioTM proceedings of those who effected the 'coup' are those of polibwra.1 conspirators, and the thing that gives tho whole plot its special character is the presence of a woman. Every undertaking of interest, to foreign politics, for the past century, hits been carried on -by women. From my point of view, this is in Q. laree measure what icuast have taken place. One or several EoFopean States have been acquainted with the investi- gations carried on by Tremont. His commnsni- c&tions to the Institute may have sufficed to give the alarm. Immediately, means have been sought for beCOming intimate with him, or obtaining his confidence. Our fritsnd's nat,are has been studied, and a young woman, clever and beautSfnl, has been fastened on hita, soon to serve as intermediary between the General and Hans. The latter is no Russian, but probably some native of Baden. The woman is a spy in ithe service of our eneonee. The man, introduced into the premises by the woman, failed in. hia attempts to obtain, by trickery. Tremosit's secrets; accordingly he had recourse to vio- lence. Be certain the whole 'ooup' \i*as entered upon for interests far higher than s ou I imagine. Yon See a Lichtenbach in the affaiir, and imagine tha.t it a in his interests that I Hans and the mysterious woman have lssen playing suoh a perilous game. You attack to him more importance than he deserves. you must seek higher, or rather not seek at jail, for nothing will be found now." "I cannot deny." replied Baradier, "llfriat Graff's explanations possess some semblance of likelihood. Graff is man of imagination, who often see things tha.t do not exist. Still, in the present circumstances, he would bo a bold man who would say tha.t he was mis- taken. Perhaps his supposition and mine both contain part of the truth. What cannot be doubted is that the authors of this audaci<rua plot are penou. wlO will shrink before notit- ing. AeoordiagUr** aut be prudent, uutpaot appear to snspect them. living in just our I usual manner. Apparently we must abstain from all participation in the work of justice. If the police succeed we shall be satisfied, I without having been involved in the affair. If they find nothing, as is very likely, then our turn will come. In my opinion clever and coolheaded criminals it is almost impossible I to run to ground tb is only by YBeir impru- dence that they betray themseleves. It is when they begin to be no longer on their guard that there is chance of finding some clue to their guilt. So. after all. the most, prudent and skilful plan will be to wait- I Marcel will return to .Are "Not until I have seen Genevieve." "Of course, you will idine and sleep here, and take the train tc-inorrow morning. Your mother and uncle will not be sorry to see a i lit-tle of yon." "And my father?" asked the young man,; smiling. "And your father. 2sow come along with rn? to see your mother. Graff, you are stay- j lng in the office?" j "For a few minutes. Then I return home. but will be back in time- for dinner." j Proceeding along an inner staircase, father j and son reached the private rooms, and were astonished to find in the hall a tall footman waiting there. "Your mother has visitors," said Baradier. j "How has that come about; to-day is not her. reception day?" They entered Madame Baradier's small salon. There she sat. pensive, near the win- dow, her needlework lying idly in her lap. "What! You here?" eaiid Haradi&r. "I thought, you were receiving." thought, you were receiving." "The Visit is not for me." I "What is the meaning of this? No one can! have called for Amelie. Then it must be for! Mdlle. de Tremont?" "You are right," said Madame Baradier, un- easily. "What is the matter with yon?" asked the banker. "There is something extraordinary going oiL Explain." "It is, indeed, very QxtraoTdmajy. it is a. schoolmate of Genevievp, who has come specially fromi the convent I to assure her of her sympathy and affection; trwted rovaafi eame with her. since her father could not oome in person." Baradier's face turned crimson. as he asked, with a frown: "Then it is >" Hia wife did not give him time to continue. They understood one another at a glance. "Yea, my dear, it is Mdlle. Lichtenbach." A silence fell throughout the room. Marcel bad gone straight to his mother, to embrace her. He now stood looking at his father, who. standing before the mantelpiece, was en- deavouring to fathom the meaning of this un- expected visit. "What is she like?" asked Ma-roel. "I scarceiy looked at her, I must confess, my child. When her name was announoed I was very much astonished. Amelk and Gene- vieve were with me at the time. I left them in the salon as soon as Mdlle, Lichtenbach entered She appeared to me to be tall rund rather good-looking. It was. however, her voice, a sweet, charming voice, which impressed me moet favourably." "It is different from her father's, then." growled Baradier. "And how long has she been here?" "Half an hour, at leaet." "And my sister is with them?" "She could not help slayin.g with them. That would have been a show of hostility quite out of place. Parents' enmities. I hope, form no necessary part of children's inheri- tanCei." • "Mother what you are now saying is con- trary to all poetical tradition. Look at Romeo and Juliet. What would become of literature were there no hereditary enmities? They form part and parcel of romantic stock-in- trade. The deuce! We must not diminish it, as it is becoming less and less quite fast enough! Baradier was not listening to hie SOB; he remained still plunged in his own raaeotMM. At last he murmured: "What has she oome for? Why has Lich- tenbach permitted her to come?" "Shall I go and ask her?" asked Marcel, gaily. "Try to be serious, Marcel," exclaimed the banker. "This is no matter for jest." -0h, I know that well enoogiu I wonder what it is that upwts you so NMch? Here is my mother as paJe as death. and yourself in a fever-heat, and all because a young girl has come to eympa.thiae with her schoolmate! There ie something extraordinary going on." Baradier glanoed sideways at his son, and ) replied, in a tone of irritation: "Don't be such a fool. Marcel. You are in- capable of understanding!" Marcel bowed, in mock humility. "Thanks! What do I owe you for th&t?" I But Baradier had no time to give way to his increasing irritation. The door of the salon opsned, and Amelie appeared on the threshold. "Mamma, Mademoiselle Lichtenbach would like to say good-bye to you before leaving." II "She seems to be very well bred." said Mar- cel, in low tones. "Are you going, mother? I will accompany you. I should iike to see what she looks like." It was in vain that Baradier shouted to his eon: "Marcel. staz here; I forbid you!" Already the young man, with a laugh, had s] behind his mother into the salon. fhe J'oung rascal will never have any coi^mcn-sense," moaned Baradier. And lie sat down in the seat his wife had just left, vaguely listening to the sound of voices which j now reached him. At the very first glance Marcel Baradier noticed that Mademoiselle Lichtenbach was of I a. very elegant figure. with a countenance of great gentleness. On further examination he did not find her pretty. Her features were irregular, but her faoe was lit up by eyes of limpid blue, radiant with frankness and amia- ibility. She was standing there, an upright and slender form, in her sombre school-dress, with the blue ribbon on her breast. On Madame Baradier introducing Marcel to her she made a respectful bow. and said, in de- lightful aocents: "I could not take my leave, madame, without thanking you for your kind welcome. Mdlle. de Tremont and myself axe very food of one another. For a year we have been close com- panions, and I sympathise with her present suffering, as though her low were also mine. It is a great relief to me. now that we are obliged to separate, to know that she win be with one who loves her. I hope you will per- mit her to speak to you of me. so that she may I not forget me too p)A,aad. perhaps, instil into your mind a little of the sympathy ttez heart feels for me." Marcel was &till under the charm of the voice that uttered these gentle words. when those clear, 1 ominous eyes fell on him. He returned the look witi an inquisitive and, perhaps. rather bold glance, for she immediately turned aside. At the same time a slight blush, all though accompanied with a. shudder, passed over her smiling face, which suddenly becaoMt serious. (To be Continued to-morrow.)

Printers revel in ta.es of the palmy days of the craft, before the machines came round. One of the comps, in the News office has a s'rapbook of good thiols that h..ve been. printed about the craft. One of the beet is about the old printer who used to set Horace Greeley's manuscript. He got eo elevated about his proficiency that- the rest of the boys could not stand it. They got iwo game roosters, inked their feet and set them fighting on sundry sheets of Horace's copy paper. The resulting copy was given to the old printer who could set Horace, and tc the disma.y of the office he set it down to the last word, and there agreed that he Was- stuck. He took the copy down to Mr. Greeley, who promptly pronounced the print of a rooster's wing to be the word "unconstitutional," aver- ring with many characteristic remarks that III blind man could read it. A Novel Penwiper. Tommy was presented lately, by his older sister, with a neat penwiper for use at school, where he has just begun attendance. He ad- mired it but just remarked, "Don't have much use for it, Jennie." "Why not, Tommy? You use a pen every- day at schooL" "Yes, I know it." "Why don't you need a penwiper, then?"
