On tlio banks of tho Loli'o, a short dintniico from Vttitlome, thoro stands nti old house, brown gnblcd nnd BOlitnry. Tliero is no other houso ne.tr it. There is not uvon ono of thoso taverns that aro usually to ho found on tho out skirts of small towns. Extending down heloro it to tho river is a garden whtro llui onoo orderly box-trees that marked tho alleys now intcrtniiglo nt will. The house itself is partially con cealed from sight, by a number of wil lows. Tlio sloping shore is covered by a luxuriant growth of weeds. The fruit trees, neglected for yenrs, no long or produce, Vhilo tho fallen leav'CB and broken twigs form a denao coppice be neath them. Tlio paths, which once were sanded, havo entirely disappeared. It looks as though it had once been the habitation of a gentleman who had a loudness lor cultivating fruits and flowers. An arbor, or rather thu rem nants of an nrbor, in which a table stands, is still to be (eon. The roof of tho houso is utterly do- cajed. Tho phutters are imver opened, the balconies arc covt ietl with swallows' ncsls, the doors aro cl6sed. Weeds havo lini'd tho stops with green. The : -i. ; . i i . . nun wots is uruwii witii rust, aim, moon, bummer, Winter, rain and snow havo rotted thu wood, warned the boards and destroyed tho paint. The mournful iluncu that reigns there i disturbed, if at all, only by tho coining and going of birds and" reptiles. Over it all tlio wortl "Mystery has been written with an invisible hand. On approaching it irom the road a curved-topped wooden gato is lo bo seen, in which tho children of tho town havo made a number of holes. This gato I afterwards learned, had been looked for ten years. Through tlio holes a view can bo obtained of tho courtyard. There tho disorder is tho same. Tho stones aro fritmod in bou quets of weeds. The walls aro furrow ed by crevices and festooned with climb ing plants : thu steps that lead to tho front door of tho houso aro out of place ; tho bellropo is worn away ; tho waterspouts aro broken. Instinctively ono wonders what can have happened there. But ihe walls givo no answer and tlio reptiles crawl on without reply. All I knew was that thu houso had onco been occupied by tho Cotnto and ComtesKo de Merret. This empty and deserted houso was an enigma to me. I found tho liist key to Us solution from tho narrative of tho landlady of a tavern in'tho town. "I most tell ou," said she, "in thi fiist place, that two months before I came hero the Comto de Morret went to Paris, where he died, after giving himself up to oxcessfs of every kind. Tho day ho went away his wife took all tho luruiture out ot tho houso and left tho place. Some say she burned tho furniture, tapestries, nnd all tho other'objects, in the open field nt Mer ret. For tho proceeding three months the Couut and Countess had been act ing in a very queer manner. They re ceived no one. The Countess lived on the ground iloor, and tho Count on the one above. After tho Couut went a- way the Countess was never seen, ex cept at church. Later on, at her chat eau, silo refused to seo her relatives and friends that camo to yisit her. Sho gave all her property to tho hospital hero in Vendome. Hut the property she dis posed of in this wiso: Tho house and grounds wcro to remain for fifty years, dating from tho dav of' death, in tho condition in which they might bo at tho time ot her decease, hho lorb&do any ono to enter them, under any pro text whatsoever, and loft a Bum of mon ey for tho pay of keepers should thoy bo necessary for the execution of her wishes. At the expiration ol this term, provided tho wishes of tho testatrix had been observed, tho house is to belong to tho heirs of her lawyer. "As for 31. do SIcrret, why, he wns an elegant gentleman. Ho paid cash for overythinp;. You seo, ho was ex citable. Tho ladies all liked him. You- see, ho must havo had something about him to marry Jfnie. do Merrct, who, not that I want to disparaco any one else, was by far the prettiest and rich est girl in Vendome. Sho had some thing like 20,000 franos a year. Tho wholo town was at tho wedding. Tho bride looked lovely, a real jewel of a woman. Mine. do'Merrot was n nice littlo thing who had to put up with a grent doal from her husband and his temper. Sho was proud, too ; but wp all liked her. "When tho Emperor sont tho Span ish prisoners here, I lodged, at the Government's expense, n vomit? Spaniard who had como to Vendome on parole. In spito of his parolo ho went uvcry uay to show lumselt to tho prefect. He was a grandee think of itl llohidaiiamo which onded in o.t and in did, something liko llagos tie I'VivJia. I wrote it 6u thu book j you can see jf you want lo. Ho was a liandsoiiio young follow for a Spaniard, for all Spaniards, I hear aro ugly, lie wasn't mora than five feet two, but ho was well inadp.

Oh, I liked him vory much, although to bo sure, ho didn't say four worua a day, ami it was impossible to havo tbo least conversation with him. If any ono spoko to him ho didn't an swor. It was a nick a way thoy all have, I hear. Ho read his broviary liko a priest, and ho went regularly to mass and all the sorvicos. Afterward wo remembered that ho always stood a step or two from Mmo. do Merrot's seat, but as ho choso that pluoo tho ljrst tlmo ho went (o church no pno could say that it was intentional, Uesides, poor young follow, ho never lifted hs noso out ol tho prayer book. In tho evening ho used to walk on tho mount ain among tho ruins of tho chateau it reminded him of his country. In 1886.

One evening n liostler told us that whilo lio, had been bathing his horses, lie thought he saw tho grandeo swimming liko a fish, far out m the river. When I saw him agaiu I told him to bo caro fill about tho weeds, but ho didn't seem lo liko it. Ho was vexed bo causo ho had been seen, I suppose. Finally, ono day, or rather ono morn ing, his room was empty and his bed had not been slept in. "After looking all around I discovered a note in the drawer of his table, and with it fifty Spanish gold pieces which woro worth about fiOOO fraocs, nnd also a sealed box with diamonds in it that wcto worth 10,000 more. Tho nolo said that, in caso ho did not return, tho gold and diamonds wore to bo ours, provided wo had masses said in thanks giving for his safety and escape. My husband, who was living then, started off to look fpr him, and this is the curious pait of the wholo affair, when he camo back ho brought with him the Spaniard's clonics. Ho had found thom under a big stono on tho bank of tho rivor, almost opposite tho Couut's chateau. After reading tho lettpr ho burned tho clothes and wo said ho had escaped. My husband thought ho was drowned, but I didn't. I thought ho was in somq way mixed up in Mmo. do Morret's affair, tlio more so as HnsMii-, her maid told mo that tlio crucifix which her mistress was so fond of that sho had it buried with her was of ebony and silver, and when tho Cpunt Feiedia first camo hero ho had ono of obony and silver, too, but I never saw it with him but once. Xow, tell me, sir, ought I to have any re morse about tho 10,000 francs, and aren't thoy honestly mino?'' "Certainly they are. But where can I find RosalioT'' Sho told me, and after I had found tlie ex-waiting maid, and crossed her palm with silver, she narrated tho fol lowing strange story : The room which Mmo. do Mcrret occupied in tho chateau was situated on tho ground floor. Tho wardrobe sho used was a littlo closet about four feet deep, which had been built into tho wall. Three months previous to' tho particular evoning of which, ,1 am to tell you, Mine. de'Mcrrel had' been so ill that hor husband, had removed to tho iloor above. Through some ono ot those fortuitous circumstances that can never bo foreseen, M. de Mcrret, on this particular evening, returned from his club fully two hours later than he was acc!us,to(iied to do. His wife thought him nt bonus) in bed aud asleep, lib had gotten excited over a gamu of billiards, and he had loH forty francs an enormous sum at Vendome, where every ono is niggardly. Fur soma timo past M. dolerrot had contented him self with asking 'Rosalie if his wife were asleep, whereupon her answer being always m tho nfhrmative ho had gone to his own room with that easy indifference that is born of habiti and confidence. But oti this evening ho depided to seo Mmo. do Mcrret and tell her of his misadventure. It may be that ho hoped sho would console him. t dinner ho had noticed that sho was particularly well dressed. On his way homo from club ho told himself that his wifo was better, that convalescence had improved her looks a circumstance which, alter tho fashion ot husbands, he had been a littlo lato in percoivinir. lustead, therefore of catling Rosalie, who happened to be in tho kitchen watching Iho cook and coachman play cards. M. do Merrct went directly to his wile's room. His step which was easy to recognize, echoed through the arches of the corridor. Just as he was on tlio point of enteiing tho room, ho thought ho heard somo ono Bhut tho closet' door, but on going in ho found his wife standing alono before tho tire. At first ho fancied, innocently enough. that Rosalie was in tho closet, but suddenly, with abrupt suspicion, ho looked aj, his wife's face. Tho ex pression which it woro was vaguely suggestivo of uxcitement and anxiety. "ion mo late, sho said. Her voice. ordinarily clear and musical, seemed to him somewhat troubled. lie mado no answer, for at that moment Rosalie entered. His wonderment deepened. With his arms crossed before him he paced meuhanio.illy up and down the room, going from one window to a'jiithor. ''Havo you heard any bad news ? Are you ill T" his wife asked, timidly, while Rosalio was helping her to uh- dress. StiU ho made no answer. "You may go," Mmo. do Merrct said to her maid. "I will do my hair my self." Her husband's face showed clearly that something had gone wrong and sho wished to bo alono with him. When Rosalie had gone, or was supposed to havo gono for n& a mat. ter ot lact sho lingered m the corridor M. do Merret stepped forward to where his wifo stood, looked straight at her and said, coldly, "Madame, there is somo ono in that closet." Sho returned his gazo calmly and said,, with mi air of candor, '.No thoro is no one," To M. do Merret this reply was nn added torture. Ho did not believe it. and yet his wifo had never seemed purer and more innocent than bIio did at that moment. Nevertheless, ho made a movement as though to open the ploset. Mmo. do Mcrret caught his hand, looked sadly at him, and said, in a voice that was singularly touchinc "If you lind no one, romember that all will be at an end between us." Tim supremo dignity of her attitude inspired her husband with a renewed icspeat for her and brought to liim at Iho saiLO tunc ono of thoso ideas which need only a vaster theatre to become inmorial. "No," ho said "I will not onen it. In either caso wo would be uoparated forever. Listen : I know tho purity of your heart. 1 know that you lead the life of a saint aud I am positiyo that you wouiu not coipiiut a Bin at tho pxpenso of your soul." At these words Mine, do Morret's face grow haggard. "Look horo Is your cruci fix," ho added : "now swoar swear. boforo God, that there is no ono there. 1 will believe you nnd I will not open tho door." Mmo. do Merret took tho crucifix. and said ; "I swear it." THE COLUMBIAN, VOL. XX.NO 21 COLUMBIA. DEMOOHAT, VOLtL, NO "Louder," said hor husband, "and ropi eat after mn 'I boforo God. that there is swear. no ono iu that closet. ' SIo repealed the words without em barrassment, "That will do," said M. do Mcrret. Then, after n momentary silence, dur ing which he curiously oxnmitied the crucifix, which was ol ebony incruated in silver, ho added.: "That is a beau tiful crucifix s I novor saw it before.'' "I bought it at Duvivicr's when the prisoners passed through Vendome lust year. Ho bought it of a Span iard." ' "Did ho T Indeed I" M. do Merrct replaced tho crucifix on iu stand nnd rang tho bell. When Rosalio nppear ed, n moment later, M. de Mcrret led her ryiickly to tho embrasure of a window and whispered : "I know that Gorenllot wants to marry you j poverty nlono has prevented him. "You told him you would not bo his wife until ho was a master mason. Now run and look for him. Toll him to como hero and bring his trowel. He will be richer than you over hoped ho could bp. ;But mind this : on your way out, say nothing ; otherwise" ho looked at her in au insignificant way. Rosalio started to go. Ho bur back.

His master motioned to him to como near er. "Go to bod. all of you," ho said. Then, in n whisper, ho added : "When thoy aro all asleep asleep, do you hear T como and tell me.'' After giving theso orders M. do Merret, who meanwhile had not lost sight of his wife, cnnio quietly lo tho tire, where sho stood, and began to tell her about his gamo of billiards and tho gossip of tho club. When Rosalio returned sho found thom chat ting in the friondllestwny. Somo timo before M. de Merrett had caused fresh ceilings to be put through that part of the ground floor which was used for reception rooms, Now plaster is not to bo had in Vendome, and tho cost of imparting makes it ex pensive. Knowing there would always bo purchasers for it, M. do Morret had consequently ordered a largo quantity. This circumstance suggested tho plan which ho then began to execute. "Gorenllot is here, sir," said Rosalie, in nn undertone. "Show him in," he answered. When Mmo. de Merret saw tho mason she turned pale. "Gorenflot," said M. do Merret, "go to, the stable nnd get some bricks j get enOUtrh t.n wnll till thn rlnnt- nF tl.nt ...... ..j. v..w uw.
