THL DAILY EVftrviNG TELEGRAM PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 1871. THE KING'S CHAMBER. TRANSLATED FROM THE FKEKCIt BY MUS. MAX.THA LAFFITTE JOHNSON. Some years ago I passed the winter with my yreat aunt at her chateau beyond St. l'leur, in the Auvergne Mountains, and cele brated with herself and friends thw festival of Chriritmas Eve. It was a gloomy nipht with out; the rain and hail beat relentlessly against the windows, and the wind wailed and howled dismally. The supper was finished; tea and mm punch had replaced the many dainties, and, cheered by the bright wood 'fire, we gathered, around the hearth to enjoy its wariulh. Wedded to an ancient custom, my aunt requested that each in turn should relate a story, the more weird in character the bet ter. As the compliance with this wish was a condition sine g ua non of admission to the CLristmas Ere gathering, those who accepted the invitation subscribed willingly to the re quest. It so happened that on this occasion I was the first to speak, and in horror 1 truly think the tale I improvised would hare thrown all ever written by Anne Ila Jcliffe or Hoffmann into the shade. The second speaker was a Miss La Croix, an old lady of singularly sad appearance. Her story interested me- very much. She seemed herself perfectly absorbed, and I saw related events which she had wit nessed. The tale ran as follows: It was in the year 1788. I resided at the time with the Count Augnste da Iiochorolles, in the en pacify of companion to his wife the Countess. Half ruined by unfortunate specu lations and by the loss of an important law suit, the Count had removed from Paris with his youDg wife and little son of nine years of age to his Chateau of Sept Fontaines, situated in the department of Ardennei, about the distance of a league from Charlerille. The Chateau of Sept Fontaines is an old Gothio monument of the Middle Ages, cele brated in the surrounding country as con nected with a tradition which told that King Henry IV bad after a boar hunt passed a night in a chamber of the chateau, situated upon the ground floor, this chamber ever after being called the King's Chamber. The chateau.ia built upon an eminence in the midst of a vast uncultivated tract of country. To the east, far off in the distance, could be seen the walls of the tewer of Charle ville; in the rear of the chatean a long stretch of forests, mountains, and valleys, with not a single farm, cettage, or hut within sight. At the time the following events trans pired the only persons residing at the chateau were the Count and Countess de Rocherolles, little Alfred, an old English servant aamed Thomas, and myself. One morning it was, if my memory be not at fault, on the 3d day of October, in the year 1788 Thouaas, on Lis return from the town, where he had gone to lay in a sup ply of provisions, announced to his master that a troop of Parisian actors had arrived the night previous at the Golden Lion Hotel,' and proposed ' on the following evening to give a most extraordinary representation at the Charleville Theatre. The Countess, who for some weeks had been quite unwell and much dispirited, to our surprise expressed a desire to be present on the occasion, and it was at once decided that seats should be se cured, and that old Thomas should drive his master and mistress to the theatre, while I remained at home to take charge of little Alfred, whose delicate health and nervous temperament precluded the possibility of his accompanying his parents. Without being able to explain the cause I nevertheless bade them good-bye regretfully, and watched their departure with a feeling of dread. Leaning against the doorway, the boy's hand clasped tightly in mine, I followed them with my eyes as long as they were within sight, and when the carriage had dis appeared, hidden by the winding ef the road, I entered the house, my mind tortured by a nameless fear. This dread was suggested by ascounts which had reached us of the horrible exploits of a lawless band that then desolated many of the provinces of France. But a month pre vious, at their farm in the Village of Gruy eres, about the distance of two leagues from Sept Fontaines, an old man and his daughter had been terribly mutilated and murdered. The story had thrilled me with horror, and often at bight, when sleepless, it had haunted xuy mind. Although no disturbance had oc curred near Charleville, the thought of being alone in the deserted chateau, with a siek child, far from any abode or the possibility of assistance in case of daager, rendered me nervously anxious. I neglected no possible precaution, and be fore nightfall carefully closed the gates and daubly bolted each window and door. Nev ertheless, I could not rest satisfied, and con cluded to remain with little Alfred in the King's Chamber until the retura of the family. ' The evening passed without any cir cumstance calculated to augment nay fears. At length the hour of midnight was rung out in doleful tones by the old clock. I counted tach stroke and li&tened with a feeling of re lief, knowing the play was over and the Count on his way home. The child was sleeping upon my knees. Gra dually my spirits rose; an hour passed; reas sured, I laid the boy upon a couch and approached the window to watch for the carriage; the moonbeams lit the leng winding road, but there was nothiag within Bight. Suddenly I thought I heard a noiae at the extreme end of the apartment, directly opposite where I was standing. To give an accurate account of the impression produced upon me would be impossible. I stood mo tionless, scarcely breathing, my ear strained to catch the sound and my brow covered with great drops of cold perspiration. Alfred was awake and had heard also. Running to me he hid bis face in the folds of my dress, while clasping his arms around my knees. It was no hallucination; that there was some one at work beneath our feet I could no longer doubt. I could hear the earth crumble, and I knew that efforts were being made to penetrate the room. "With the certainty of danger my fears sub Bided, my courage rose, and I determined to resist. Seating the boy upon a chair, I ran quickly to the kitchen, seized a hatchet, and, returning, approached the spot where I had detected the sound. To my surprise, I saw first one, and thea another of the tiles raised; a hand appeared, then a bead, which I at once recognised to be that ef a bandit. In an instant I had raised the hatchet I held, and ia a moment more the robber's head rolled upon the floor: so quickly and surely had I struck the blow . that there was not even time for a cry. Alfred, uttering a suppressed scream, spring towards me, and in so doing overturned tu lamp, which was instantly extinguished, an i we were left in darkness. I btill remained beside the opening, the hatchet raised ready to strike again should another head appear. The child clung te me in mortal fear. I pressed him to my breast and hurriedly whis pered caution. I. heard the sound of steps and voices, and bending down I caught these words, speken in a rough ton: "Well, do you set any one ? Is the room lighted ?" The man so addressed, it is easy to under stand, could not reply. A brief silence fol lowed. Then the same voice impatiently continued, "If you aTe afraid, coward, let another man take your place; but, d n it, advance or draw back." "The position is not tenable," said another voice further off. "At any moment we may bo surprised. Kobert, who is watching at the entrance, says that he hears the distant sound of approaching horses." By the movement below me I judged that thoy were removing the body of their com rade. The sight of the headless trunk mnst Lave alarmed them, for I Ueard a loud cry ac companied by the most fearful imprecations and threats of vengeance. There was a rush of footsteps, and distinctly I heard them retreat, having abandoned the dead man. At this moment the strength which in the hour of danger had been my support failed me, and I sank upon the floor insensible. A quarter of an hour later the Count and Conatess returned. Having knocked for ad mission, and being unanswered, they cen cluded that I had fallen asleep, and Thomas scaled the wall and opened the outer gate. Finding it impossible to make themselves heard, they by their united efforts forced the door. The scene displayed before their eyes was terrible indeed, and rendered all the more ghastly by the pale light of the moon. 1 lay upon the floor in a death-like swoon. Little Alfred knelt beside me, his hands clasped, his eyes fixed, and his face ashen in L ue; and a few feet from the door the bleed ing head of the bandit, with its glaring eyes starting from their sockets and a fierce grin curling tne parted lips. That night no one in the chateau slept; we kept strict vigil, fearing the return of the lawless men, but no sound again disturbed the silence. On the following day the Count de ltocherolles reported the occurrence to the authorities at Charleville. A detachment was at ence sent to the chateau, and the officers of justice discovered a subterranean passage wnicn ran irom tne parit beneath the walls and led direct to the King's Chamber. A watch was set and faithfnl search made. Some weeks had elapsed when Joseph K&ts, the chief of the band of bandits, together with the forty men under his command, were arrested in the forest of De la Hariere, the distance of about four leagues from Sept Fontaines. When the wretches were tried the fearful head was produced in Court, and helped to convict them, and on the 30th of October ia the same year they were executed at Charle ville in the presence of a great crowd which had assembled from all parts of the province. The terrors of that dreadful night de veloped in me the germ of an inourable dis ease, and has left with me a memory no time can efface. In recognition of the service rendered them in protecting their child, the Count and Countess settled upon me a pension which is amply sufficient to supply my few wants. Dear friends, this little story pos sesses at least one merit, that of being strictly true; therefore you can afford to sympathize with Jeanette La Croix. SPECIAL NOTICES.
