CHAPTER Vl*
Scarcely a quartet Of an hour fater Val-J
entine entered the courtyard. Every.'
thing seemed wrapped in the most peace
ful repoke, just as when she had left the
house with Max. She softly closed the
window: she had and stealing
over the terrace entered the salon door
which she now locked and barred. In
the corridor above shc : detected a light
beneathpiiss Ellen's door—so then Miss
E len was wakeful also, awaiting what the 1
night would bring forth!
Valentine heard the rustle of a leaf be
ing turned—was it possible she was calm
ly reading at such a moment ? “Perhaps
she was reading her English Bible,” was
Valentine’s scornful thought. In her room
Valentine hastily threw off her wet
clothes, and had just finished changing
her soaking boots for dry flippers and
thrown a morning wrapper around her
chilled form when she heard voices on
the terrace followed by a knock at tbe sa
lon door. With a beating heart she took
her candle and went to the’door; at this
moment she heard Miss Ellen’s door open
hastily; the next instant she was facing
that lady, who started back in consterna
tion, a deep flush of confusion on her
face. ■■
m Tou up—and dressed ? What is> tbe
matter, Valentine ?’\
“I might* ask you the same question—l
hdar voices outside; it seems they are try
ing to get into the house; let us see what
it means—if you do not already know,”
she added significantly as she walked*
boldly ahead holding aloft her lamp in
her right hand, while Miss Ellen followed
slowly.
When they reached the lower hall they
heard a thumping at the door leading
from the court; Miss Ellen sprang for
wdrd as if to open it, but Valentine
eattght her and holding her with a strength
she never dreamed she possessed, said in
a peculiar whisper:
1 1 “Come to the salon door and we can see,
who they are.” '
In the salon Valentine placed her lamp
upon the table, drew back the shutters
and pressed her face against the pane-
With a half-suppressed cry of affright
she started 4>ack as she beheld Gaston’s
face peering into the room. She sprang
back as if stung by an adder.
“It is Gaston !” exclaimed Miss Ellen,
who stood beside her, “and there are
some people with him—shall we open the
door ?”
“Certainly open it,” said Valentine
firmly ; “better do that than have those
fellows break it open, as it seams they
mean to do.”
Miss Ellen obeyed; Gaston entered fol
lowed by several men in sooty blouses,
some armed with revolvers, the rest with
stout clubs; their blackened faces and
hands at once proclaimed them forge la
borers.
"What are you, doing here, Valentine?"
exclaimed Gaston angrily, turning to
where the girl stood with a defiant look m
her beautiful eyes. "Who told you—Miss
Ellen you did not keep your word ! —”
"Good heavens, Gaston ! have you be
come a leader of banditti ?” interrupted
Valentine scornfully. "Else what is the
the meaning of your presence here at
this hour, and with these creatures?"
"We came on an errand which does not
in the' least concern you—go up stairs,
Valentine, I beg of you—pray go !” he
urged.
“Hm, and permit you to take posses
sion here ?”
"Hush, your loud talking will awaken
your father," interrupted Gaston in an
angry whisper, "and we desire him as lit
tle as we do you—it is better he knows
nothing of this.”
"Then you have really come to rob
us?"’
"Nonsense! No, we come to prove our
loyality to our country by ridding it of
one of its foes.”
“Then you don’t come to plunder but
murder?”
‘‘Valentine, I beg you to moderate your
words; you arc so excited you know not
what you say. You cannot prevent us
from doing out duty to France ?”
"You want to tempt these honest fel
lows to do the horrible deed with your
line phrases !’* she exclaimed with a cut
ting
With an impatient,gesture he motioned
her aslde.and the forge men pressed for
fard ceremony, starting after
Miss Ellep who had taken np her lamp as
if about ioTe^tire; Gaston followed as she
silently lld'the way through the dining
room across the ball to the door of Max’s
chamber. Here Gaston knocked—no an
swer; again be knocked and shook the
latch ; still no answer came from within,
and the door was barred on the inside.
Valentine, who had followed the eager
crowd, came up as Gaston whispered:
“We must force, the door!” moving
aside to make room for one of the men
who drew forth a short iron rod
“ Hold! It is not necessary for you to
break the door—you pan get : into the room
from the court—the window is open—so
are the’shutters,” she added tauntingly.
"The window and shutters open ?” ex
claimed several stalwart Vuleans whom
Gaston had admitted in the ball door.
“Then some of yon enter that way!”
exclaimed Gaston—“or”—here he turned
hastily to Valentine—“has the bird flown?
ami have we to thank you for this trick?”
he almost hissed the words in his rage.
“You have to thank the watchfulness
and caution of him you seek. It seems*
Mons. de Ribeaupierre, this sort of man
is not to bo outwitted by—you /” she re
torted contemptuously.
“Break open the door!” he cried with a
fearful curse ; “we will see if she tells the
truth 1” '
The; man- "stooped to insert hir iron,
when the door suddenly opened and the
men Gaston had sent into the court-yard
stood in the door way.
“He has escaped— gone to the devil!
the cunning fox of a Prussian ! What
treason!” cried the sooty horde in the
greatest excitement with menacing gest
ares, as if they longed to wreak their ven
geance upon the inmates of tbe Feme.
They ran through the little room like
blood bounds scenting their prey.
Fortunately at this moment tbe farm
servants, who bad been aroused by the
tumult, rushed into the ball; at the same
time a heavy foot-step was heard above
and Mons. d’Avelon appeared on the
stairway. Halting on »be second step
frqm below he looked angrily around
upon the strange scene, upon tbe sooty,
hideous looking figures surrounding bis
brave daughter who stood defiantly in
their midst, while Miss Ellen cowered
tremblingly at her side. The next instant
he recognized Gaston ; with a hasty ex
pletive be approached that gentlemen :
“What the devil are you doing here!—
what do these fellows want?—they are
your men. What do yon mean by alarm
ing my household in the" dead of the
night ?—speak!” be demanded, bis eyes
flashing angrily as he laid his arm pro
teclingly over Valentine shoulder as she
sprang to his side. He felt her tremble
fearfully ; she had given way to her ter
ror now that her natural protector was
near.
“Good heavens! don't make such a fuss
about it. Mods. d’Avelon," expostulated
Gaston, forcing himself to speak calmly.
“I don’t think it is very difficult to sur
mise what brought my brave men here at
this hour; they are not a band of thieves
that their presence need alarm you. They
came uninvited ’tis true, but I assure you
they will retire peacefully. I beg you
now return to your homes, my friends,”
he added, turning to his frowning follow
ers. “You see we came too late—the ene
my has escaped and is long ere this in
safety; it would be sheer folly to attempt
to pursue him in such weather; even
Etienne’s blotid-houad would be of little
avail. Our Opportunity has passed, and
we have nothing further here. Go now,
my good fellows, and do not disturb Mons.
d’Avelon or his family any longer. Do
not forget to call Rioul and Gilon, who
are guarding the road. To-morrow we
will speak of compensation for your
trouble and disappointment, and we will
see how many bottles of wine are neces
sary to recompense you—now go t”
The result of Gaston’s words convinced
one of the rather slavish discipline among
his sooty corps. They grumbled and ges
ticulated menacingly, it is trne, bat they
started off jesting rudely after a little
wrangling with the half-clothed crowd of
servants who followed them to the ter
race.
After they had left the Ferine, singing
rude snatches of patriotic airs, and laugh
ing loudly, Mods. d’Avelon drew Gaston
into the dining room, where Miss Ellen
had fled sone moments before. He placed
the lamp be had taken from Valentine's
trembling band upon the table, and turn
ing to Gaston exclaimed:
“And now let ns have an account of!
these singular proceedings.” j
>: Mercif ” sighed Gaston sinking weari- }
ly into a chair, you see through j
the whole scheme ? You were lodging !
a Prussian officer—which fact came
to the knowledge of uiy workmen—
God knaws how—and it raised quite a pa
triotic commotion; they determined to
march to the Ferme des Auges, surround
the bouse and seize the Prussian. Had
they captured him I verily believe he
would never have seen another day—”
‘‘And you dared countenance this
shameful scheme ?” interrupted Mons. de
Avelon angrily, “dared encourage them
to .the disgraceful attack upon a gen- I
tleman who, with utter trustfulness, !
thought himself secure beneath my roof?]
—under the protection of the laws of hos {
pitality which even ? j
You dared,to lead your vile bapa in order
to assist them with your knowledge of |
my household arrangements? You
should—” j
“Good God !” interrupted Gastou
shrugging bis shoulders deprecating ly,
“how hastily you condemn me. Hear me j
first: I beard of the plot; one of the men
who possesses more discretion than the
rest came to Givrcs and told me that they
were smouldering the furnace fires because
none of their number would remain back'
to attend to them; be also told mo that
several had already gme to guard the
road to Void, in order to cut off the Ger
man’s escape should be manage to es
cape~from Under these cir
cumstances could you expect mo to stay
quietly at home? Gould 1 leave the mad
ly excited creatnies to themselves? indif
ferent to what might happen here—to
yon—to Valentine,Jin such a midnight in
vasion? You would have thought very
strangely of me I think bad I done so!
No, 1 concluded to join them and did all
In my power to calm— and prevent them
from doiug any harm—who can tell what
might have happened bad I not been
here! ’
Valentine looked at him with the most
contemptuous disdain in her face as her
father exclaimed roughly:
THE,'RADICAL: BSID

Had you not sufficient control over thl
wretches who are .in your? service, end
who depend on you for their dally bread,

: “HV? returned Gaston shorlly. : }r

“Very l likely V’
“but heaven deserves little crediC for his

come from that quarter,” he added ven-
omnnsly. • k
“What do you meau by jsucsh - words?—
who did it?” I
“If there is anyone'to thank it isValcn
entine.” i
"Yes, it certainly was Valentine,” In*
terrupted that young lady sarcastically,
“Mons. de Ribeanplerre speaks, the troth
there. It was I who warned him, and saw
that the stranger reached his friends
spite of Mons. de ElbeaupSerre’s valiant
guards.” ■
“But how in the name of heaven did
you learn —”
"That the road to Void was guarded t”
exclaimed Gaston intetropting Mona.
d’Avelon. s
“I suspected a plot early in the eve
ning,” returned Valentinh dryly; >
Gaston looked at her eeftrehiugly as be
said in an offensive tone: '
“You acted as his guide yourself—yo»
were In the rain s6me time foryoUr hair
is still wet.” « :
“Very likely!” she returned contempt
uously. •
G iston turned his searching eyes from
her to Miss Ellen, who had heard the
foregoing conversation .with surprised
bewilderment.
“This is very remarkable—very !” ex
claimed d’Avelon staring at each |n turn ;
then to bis daughter: ‘VYour suspicions
could not have told you that danger
threatened our guest?” he added sharply.
“And yet, my dear father, the best
proof of it is that I warned brim in time.’*
“And that you went aloce with him, at
midnight, through the rain—alone with a
stranger, the enemy of your country !”
added Gaston scornfully.
"Pray let our country rest in peace,
Mods, de Ribeaupierre, for it is of very
Mule moment in this matter. . And con
concerning my conduct I decline to hear
your criticisms upon i)t, and, moreover,
from henceforth I want it distinctly un
derstood that you are deprived of any im
aginary right, you baye presumed upon,
to criticize my behavior.”
“Yon are very candid,” he hissed.
“I am glad you understand .me.”
“I’m not so sure whether your father
“My father will never undertake to ac
complish what he knows to be impossible
—he will not attempt to alter the senti
ments trhat have dictated my resolution —
it is irrevocable !”
“Now may the good Lord preserve us;
this is the very worst feature of this
wretched business!” cried Moos. d’Ave
lon. “Gaston, I wish the devil bad) flown
away with you before you were seized
with the miserable whim to lead your
sooty,scoundrels! But this is no time to
talk about it; come, Gaston,! will see you
off if you prefer to return to Giyres.
“I do prefer to return home,” exclaim
ed Gaston springing to bis feet.
“Very well then ! I will see that the
doors are securely bolted, then we will
try to calm our excited brains with an
other nap,” said Mons. d’Avelon rising
and dismissing bis neighbor witb|rather a
frosty good night.
While the old gentleman busied him
self closing and securing the doors, Ellen
approached Valentine and in a hasty
whisper accompanied by a threatening
glance, hissed :
“Do you mean to open the battle with
me now that Gaston has gone ? I warn,
you not to do so for I might not be as
discreet as be. id vindicating myself for
my share in this affair, which .would make
you regret what you have done. I warn
yon—do not demand any explanations,
and above all beware of trying to compel
, me* to justify myself before yonr father —
1 you would regret it, to the day of jour
death !”
• And with a warning shake of her index
finger she left the room with her usual
cat-like tread.
Valentine looked after her in mute as
tonishment. What could she mean by
her singular words? And what had made
her so defiant instead of ashamed and hu
miliated for her vile complicity in Gas
ton’s shameful plot? ,
Ellen’s threat was distressing enough,
and to Ibis was added the anxiety for her
fugitive who was doubtless despairing s * of
her coming—and yet through all her
trouble a jubilant feeling of happiness
and satisfaction surged through her being,
and bnrst the chains that bad so long fet
tered her heart.
She rose hastily and spec lightly to herj
chamber, here to await the first rays of
dawn; then she would steal away anno*
ticed, and from the glaring shadows of
the Maid’s Grotto release her —captive.
TO BE CONTINUED; ; .
A soldier,’telling b|s mother of the'
terrible fire at Cbickamquga, was asked
by her why he did not get behind a tree,
“Tree!” said he; “• fiere wasn’t erough
trees fur the officers.”
