THE RED CHANCELLOR.
THE RED CHANCELLOR. A ROMANCE, By SIR WILLIAM MAGNAY, Bart., Author of "The Heiress of the Season," "The Man-Trap," The Pride of Life," &e. I CHAPTER XVII,-Continued. I The Jaguar's Den, J "Your appeal involves an accusation which I utterly repudiate. You are a foreigner. Herr Tyrrell, and, therefore, I have heard you with an indulgence which your suggestion scarcely deserves. To ask me to give a pledge against a chimerical danger is more than absurd. I do not wish to make use of strong language, or I might point out in such that the object of your visit might easily be construed into a flagrant insult to his Majesty, whose humble adviser I have the honour to be. If I might offer you a word of advice, it would be that so long as you choose to avail yourself of the hospitality of this country you should devote your time to sport or pleasure, and avoid mixing yourself up in affairs which do not concern you. Even were this monstrous suggestion of yours in any way true, the interference of an outsider could serve no tangible end. You will do well to consider your position in the light of that common-sense which is, I believe, the birth- right of most Englishmen. That is all." I rose. I have then no comforting assurance to take Herr von Lindheim, Excel- lency?" Herr von Lindheim's life is in no more danger than your own." A Delphic pronouncement truly! "I have no fear of that," I laughed. And yet," he rejoined, fox-like, if your veiled accusations were correct you might stand in some danger yourself." The speech was tentative, I saw that, and determined not to be led into any admission. I have no fear," I said, and can take care of myself." You are a bold man." To have come here?" He laughed. And I understood better than ever why he was called the Jaguar. Though the flesh of the lower part of his face was loose and mobile, the skin over his forehead was drawn tight, his eyes were feline, and the lines of his mouth cruel. But when it suited him to put on a pleasant expression, the stealthy cruelty of the face in a measure dis- appeared. Now there was the look it had worn glaring through the window at that fatal marriage, the look that had bent over the murdered bridegroom's face. But I main- tained my dogged resolve not to be overawed by the man or the devil within him. My confidence in coming here," I answered coolly, is due less to courage than the fact that I have left a letter, containing word of my intention, together with several other per- tinent mattens, in the hands of a friend whom I can trust, and who will open it at a certain hoar unless I am there to prevent him." My words amounted almost to a threat, at least to a defiance, and the look they called up into his Excellency's eyes was not a. pleaeant one. But he showed no other sign of annoyance-on the contrary, his next words were almost jocular. If I trust, Herr Tyrrell, that you will take great care to avoid all accidents. For if any- thing should unfortunately happen to you while we have the konour. to include you among our country's guests, I take it that the responsibility—or worse-of such misfortune would be laid at our door. So I do hope you will take care of yourself, my dear Herr Tyrrell." I will do my beet," I replied, bowing, and moving towards the door. I turned as he spoke again. The man looked genial enough now: the evil print on the face was smoothed over, the lines of cunning no longer made the rest stand out in relief. "And so far as your friend's fears are con- cerned," he said, "you may take him my assurance that they are groundless. Herr von Lindheim is, doubtless, out of health; his nerves are unstrung. He needs a holiday; he may take one." I have your assurance, Excellency?" "You have my assurance. I trust you will both be careful." He half rose to return my bow, smiling, though it seemed, from my last glance, that the smile was growing more feline and sinister. There was no more to be hoped for or said, and I left him. CHAPTER XVIII. A Word of Warning. I walked along the Konigstrasse, the prin- cipaJ street of Buyda, reflecting on my inter- view, and wondering how far I could trust the assurance of the Chancellor's last words. His was one of those complex characters, so hope- lessly dimcult to understand, that I felt it an even chance whether his word was to be trusted or disbelieved. Anyhow, I persuaded myself that my visit had done no harm, and there was just the likelihood that his purpose might relax with regard to Von Lindheim. How far I was justi- fied in this idea the sequel will show. But chance certainly made the journey to Buyda one of the most momentous of my life. My reflections were interrupted by a man, who came quickly up from behind, touched his had and addressed me. A man in livery. He said that the Baroness Fornbach would like to speak to me. She was in her carriage a few yards down on the other eide of the street. After a moment's hesitation I followed the man. If I had my doubts and suspicions about the Baroness I was yet somewhat inclined, re- membering her half confidences on the even- ing I had supped with her, to try whether I could get any information from her about the Chancellor. At the same time I resolved to walk warily. The Baroness gave me a friendly greeting, asked as to my plana, where I had been, how long my stay in Bayda was to last, and on learning of my immediate departure insisted on my accompanying her home for a, cup of tea. As there was not much chance of my learning anything important in the open street and in the presence of a lady who was with her, I accepted the invitation and got into the carriage. "I don't care for tea. but shall be delighted to have half an hour's chat with you," I said. "That's well. I know you English are faddly a-bout spoiling your dinners," she returned with a laugh as we drove off. After tea the Baroness's companion dis- appeared, and I was free to begin my ques- tions. Aa to whether they would be satis- factorily answered or not I was douibtful, but anyhow I would make the attempt. "I am interested and puzzled by the fate of that poor fellow Von Orsova, whom I was to have met the very evening of his death. Oa.n you throw any light upon it, Baroness? In the ooooitry one hears nothing but bare faate." Affecting to speak more or leas carelessly l I was watohing her narrowly, and saw that at my question she "clinched" a little. All that was meant for me to see, however, was shrug as she answered: "Who knows? No one precisely. But we all guess. A love affair is the most natural solu- tion." "With whom?" She laughed. "My dear Herr Tyrrell, yoo know as much as I do." "Of oourae, Baroness, if you ohoooe to play the Sphinx-" "It is safest." "Can you not trust! me?" She smiled, this time a little bitterly. "J have long ago ceased to trust anybody. But. really and truly, I know no more than you." I bowed. "You shall not tell me a wordl more than you wish, only-" You are as carious as a woman." Curious. No. My feeling was more serious than that. Let me tell you our friend Von LfinuJaeim is concerned at the deaths that have occurred among the staff of the Chancellerie." "Naturally. They were friends of his." "Not only that. He fears a like fate may strike him." His nerves are upset. He has been ill. has he not?' "He is lucky to have been no worse," I said cautiously. "lie has never imbued you with his fears?'! she asked in a tone of raillery. "Not for myself, but for him. I have seen the Chancellor to-day." Yes." "Ah?" thought I, watching her, "that is no news to you. He assures me," I continued, "that Von Lindheim's fears are groundless." "Good! Then you are satisfied?" I leant forward. "Baroness, tell me frankly. Do you think I may be satisfied?" She lay back, and took up a small fan from the table at her hand. "How can I tell? Why do you ask me? Clan I guarantee his Excellency's word?" "You may be my friend in this place where I have no friends, and advise me." I A peculiar expression came over her face, ag look that I cannot describe, a look of inex- pressible bitterness and regret, struggling aa it were to get through the mask which hei;. part obliged her to wear. "You, Baroness," I said significantly. "I hope I am always your friend," she re* plied. "And as a friend your advice is "I have none to give—on that subject. "What# then?" She looked swiftly, almost fearfully, round the room. She was holding the little black fan-I aee her Ilow-ti,btly in her cle. hands. She threw it down, and clasped her hands over her knees, leaning forward and speaking in her usual tone, but as low as » whisper. "My advice to you, Herr Tyrrell, is to leave this country. You may be safe as yet. But you have been ill-advised in interesting your- self in other men's affairs. We are under ai* iron will here, and it makes sure." "You brought me here to tell me that?" To my intense surprise her eyes filled with tears. She looked away. "Don't ask me that, don't ask me that. she returned passionately, but always in a low voice. "Be thankful that you are free tq go, and pity us who are not." She put her hankerchief to her eyes. I rose, and stood leaning my elbow on the mantel- piece. There was silence; a little clock by me chimed six. Then I said: "I am sorry to have asked you a distressing question. The more that it was perhaps un- necessary. For I know-" She rose quickly, stopping me by a gesture of her outstretched hand. "Dont tell mem! Don't tell me!" she erred under her breath. "Say you know nothing. Your life may dejiPnd upon it." Baroness!" I cried, almost appalled as I realised the truth of her position. "I trust you," she went on with the same vehemence, intensified by the restraint she put upon her voice, for I know you can be staunch and true; you are as far above all the tricks and treachery in which we live here as heaven from bell-I trust you, Englishman, with my life. Yes. For if it were known that I had spoken to you like this I should share the fate of Asta von Winters tein." I started. Asto von Winterstein? Of course I remembered the girl, the favourite [Maid of Honour to the Princess, and my fas- cinating partner at the State ball. She. naturally, had been in the secret, and when I recalled that lovely animated face, the girl's merry laugh and overflowing spirits, I shuddered. "Has anything happened to her?" I scarcely dared put the question. The Baroness looked at me in surprise. She was quite herself now, and spoke with her usual calm. "Have you not heard? It waa in the papers. Fraulein von Winterstein was returning after dark from an excursion to Salenberg. The coachman missed his way, anfi overturned the carriage in the narrow pa-ss above the river. It feH down the steep side into the water. The driver threw him- self off the box and escaped by a. miracle, but poor Asta. went to her death." Her tone was quite impassive, as she would have related the occurrence at a dinner party. I felt a sensation almost of horror at the deliberate methods of this man-tiger Rallen- stein. "Horrible! Horrible!" "I believe the poor girl's body has not yet been recovered," she continued with the same repression of all feeling, which I could weli understand and sympathise with. "The river is deep and swift in that gorge, and she may have been carried down for miles. Her mother is almost distracted, her father. General von Winterstein, is abroad, and the news will hardly have reached him. Poor man! he can do notiiing." As she spoke the last words she looked at. me significantly. We understood each other. No more was needed. "You may trust me," I said in a low voice. Her hand touched mine. I was about to raise it to my lips when she snatched it away. "Hush!" she murmured warningly. The door opened, and the other lady came in. "Count Furello is here, my dear. I thought I would tell you." The announcement was made in such a curious manner that I turned inquiringly to the Baroness. She gave just the suggestion of a shake of the head, and I barely caught the whisper, "Go, as soon as you can." Next moment the Count was shown in. v (To be continued).
