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.

If any ono spoko to him ho didn't an

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

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

off to look fpr him, and this is the
curious pait of the wholo affair, when

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

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

"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

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
