"THE MASTER OF TREMLAYS" .?- AN HISTORICAL ROMANCE OFTHE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. PART II. CHAPTER. III. In the meHntmie. Juds had endeavoured to Iud his way in the wilderness. and at length '•aohed the savage ravine that we already know under the name of the Wolf Pit. The fk*, of the honest squire wke a grave and Sftd expression. He was, doubtless, thinking that the last time he visited the spot was in the company of his late master. Having carefully looked around to assure himself that he was quite alone, he entered tha hollow trunk of the old oak and found tht,re a few remnants of cask-hoops, and nearly all the tools of Jean Blanc, which from their rUsted condition had evidently not been used for a long time. He seized a mattock, and ai once commenced his labours. "Whilst he worked there was an ^perceptible movement in the bushes, and the headte of two men, masked in a fragment of wolf-skin, showed themselves. A third head, in a white mask, appeared at ihe same instant in the opposite thicket. The tbrpo in en thus strangely disguised, rapidly exchanges a sign of intelligence. The one in the white mask made an order of some kind, for the two others immediately retired into their hiding-plac-es. The white mask noiselessly extended him- 8elf upon his belly, and crawled cautiously towards the tree. which was slowly reached. then roee, and peeped through one of the f" r«V 'ures *N»)4 tune ha/I made in the trujnir of the old oak. He ramoved hi? mask for an instant to ena.ble him to see better, and re- vealed a face covered with black and smoke. I 0 It was Pierra Rouan, the charcoal burner. Jude worked away, and little imagined that an inquaitive eye followed each of his move- ments. At the end of some minutes the mattock re-boundied upon a hard and sonorous substance. Jude drew out the iron coffer that Nicolas Treme had buried, and, having ex- amined it an instant, took a key from the pooket of his doublet. At this instant, Pierre Rouan noiselessly crawled back to his hiding-place. It wa.s well for him he did HO, for Jude, on the point of opening the coffer, cha-nged his mind, and walked round the oak, casting an anxious look I in every direction. He sa w no one; re-entered the hollow trunk and unlocked the coffer. Everything was in I it, untouched as on the day of the deposit. I The old squire could not repress an exclamation I of joy in thinking1 that, with this, George Treme would be able to recover his entire inheritance. But an expression of sadness soon re-placed his joyful smile. Where was George Treme? Anxious to reach the chateau, to ascertain, if possible, the fate of the child, he carefully concealed the coffer a8 before, and hastened to the spot where Didier was awaiting him. Pierre Rouan. however, kept his eye upon him until ho disappeared.—"It is .Judi?," he muttered. "Jude, the esquire of Treme! He has left the coffer; I will see this night what, it contains. In the meantime our people must not suspect t'his mystery, oc they will antici- pate me." When Jude was out of sight, ths two masked men left the thicket and rushed towards the oak. They removed the tools, examined eviry crevice in the trunk, and found nothing. These two men were wolves. "blaster, they said, touching their caps, "What have you seen." Pierre Rouan shrugged his shoulders. "It is a great pity you don't inhabit the good town of Vitrie," he said, "you are as curious as old women. I have seen a olown dig up two dozen pieces of six livres that he had buried in this spot." The two Wolves looked ai each other. "That makes six louis d'ors," grumbled one of them; "andl them are, perhaps, others." "Search," said Pierre Rouan, with affected indifference. "I will watch in your (place." The two Wolves hesitated an instant, then touched their caps and regained their posts. "It is well," said Pierre Rouan, putting on his white mask again; "but remember this— when I am there my eyes watch with yours; I can pardon an instani of negligence. When I can pardon an instant of negligence. When I am away, negligence becomes treason, and you know how I punish traitors. Now ma.rk! Soldiers have been seen in the forest, and, perhaps, even at this moment the ey;s of enemies are examining the depths of this ravine. The least imprudence may betray the secret of our retreat. Bewaa-e!" The charcoal-burner pronounced these words in an imperious tone. Ths two Wolves replied humbly, "Master, we will watch." Pierre Rouan took the two pistols that hung at his girdle, and hid them under his vest- ments. "I am going to the chateau." he said, "to learn what we have to fear from the King's people. I shall return this night," and, climb- ing the slofoe with a rapid step, he disappeared behind the forest trees. "There are but the White Wolf and the d-evil that can run like that," muttered one of the sentinels. "I should like to search yonder oak more carefully. "So should' I," replied his companion: "but it would be as much as our lives are worth to attempt it." Tn consequence of which the two wolves resigned themselves to keep strict watch. Jude traversed the thicket with his mind greatly relieved. Marie and Didier heard him approach. They had been together more than two hours, but time passes quickly with lovers "Adieu," said Marie; "adieu! Thou wilt not leave me again, wilt thou ?" "Never," replied the captain with a kiss, as Jude made his ajppearance. "Well, my good fellow," said Didier, who was now alone, "hast thou found the treasure ?" "God has it in his keeping," replieu Jude. "So much the better'. Now to the chateau!" exclaimed DidLer. "I rely upon the aid thou hast promised me," said Jude. "And thou art right, my gnod fellow; I will do my utmost. Explain to me a little what thou expectest of me?" "In the #r$t place," said Jude, "although twenty years have elapsed since I last put foot in the chateau of Tremlays, it is poeeible someone there may recognise me. I would rather then not. enter until dark." "Be it so. The weather is fine; we will wait in the forest. But you seem to forget that there will be lights in the chateau when we arrive" "True," dolefully murmured poor Jude. "I did not think of that." "There is still a way of arranging the matter," resumed the eagstain with a etnile. We shall arrive muffled up in our travelling cloaks, and I will find some pretext for pro- tecting thee against inqusitive regards. After -11 "After Pf" reftjeaifcdl Jude, embarrased. "After, I will endeavour to learn, one way or another what has become of my young master." "Good we will try what we can do," re- plied Didier. Herve de Yaunoy and his daughter Alice were in the saloon with Mademoiselle Olive de Yaunoy, the sister of Herve; and the 'Marquess Bechamsil. of Nointel, comptroller- royal of the impost. They wete all unacquainted with the name of the new captain, and Didier's appearance in that character greatly astonished them. Jude, however, remained at the door, muffled to the ears in his mantle. The young officer advanced into the room with the graeeful ease of one long accustomed to high society. Alice changed colour on seeing him, and supported her.-tlf on the arm of her chair. Herve assumed his benign smile. "Saint-Dieu! My young friend," cried he in a most cordial tone, "you are heartily wel- come." Didier thanked him. and having kissed the hands of the two ladies, and coldly bowed to the marquess, seatsd himself near the Master of Tremlavs. "His Majesty's commission," he said, "leaves nip the option of choosing between the hospitality of the Marquess of Nointel and yours. I thought you would not be dis- I pleased to receive me for a few days." "I am delighted to see you, my dear young friend." "I thank you, and request that my valet may be at once shown to the chamber I am to occupy." "But he sJha.ll first take an evening eup with Master Alain, my steward," said Herve de Vaunoy, At the i-anie of Alain, Jude turned pale. "My valet is ill," replied the captain; "what he requires is a good) bed and repose." "As you please, my young friend," said Herve, summoning a domestic. "Prepare a bed for this good fellow, and treat him in every respect 1.3 the servant of a man whom I honour aud love." Didier bowed, and Jude followed the domestic. Twenty years had very little altered the smiling debonair features of Herve de Vaunoy. Madamoiselle Olive, his sister, was a withered old maid who had been ugly in her youth. Alice bore no resemblance to either of them. She was a noble creature—tall, and exqusitely formed, with finely-moulded features of a pen- sive rather than a melancholy cast. But her beauty Was more than equalled by the match- less qualities of her head and heart. Herve de Vaunoy had married a year after the departure of Nicolas Treme. His wife died at the expiration of eighteen months; and Alice was the only fruit of their union. She was now eighteen years of age. Bechanieil, the Marquess of Nointel, had numerous and important occupations in Brit- tany. His office of comptroller-royal of the impost made him greatly dreaded by those whose pretensions to nobility wert- doubtful, as it invested him with the right of investigating their titles to this distinction; and very necessarily so, as the nobility, being exempt from the payment of the impost, many plebeians assumed the rank merely to avoid the tax. Vaunoy's family papers would ill bear an investigation of this nature. Having assumed the name of Treme, and even quartered his- doubtful arms on their escutcheon, he had too much to fear, not to seek, in every way, to conailitate his judge. Happily for him, Bechameil met him three parts of the way by falling violently in love with Alice, whom he wished to ma.ke his wife. This did not prevent Vaunoy from favouring, in some degree, the intimacy which had established itself at Rennes between the young gorl and Didier. Vaunoy had, doubtless, his reasons for that. The evening meal is always, an important feature in Breton hospitality. At the ex- piration of some minutes the steward, decorated with his official silver chain, threw open the folding-doors to announce the supper. "We will speak of business to-morrow," sa,id M. de Vaunoy, gaily., "Now let us sup." Alice rose, and. by instinct, extended her hand to Didier. It was Bechanieil who took it; the captain contenting himself with the bony figures of Mademoiselle Olive. During supper, M. de Vaunoy frequently pledged his young friend the captain, ex- changing, as he did eo, more than one equivocal glance with Master Alain, to whom he gave an order, in a low tone, towards the end of the repast. The steward transmitted I this order to an ill-favoured valet that Vaunoy had eniiced from the preceding year from the service of the governor of the province, and who was called Lapierre. In the meantime Bechameil paid his accustomed court to Alice, who did not listen to him, but from time to time threw a sad and reproachful glance towards Didier, who I chatted assiduously with Mademoiselle Olive. Herve himself conducted the captain to the door of his chamber and wished him good- I night. Juda was still up. "Well, said his master to him, "hast thou learnt anything?" "Nothing respecting the child: and it is a ba-d omen! But I know that Dame Goton, who was little master's nurse, is now house- keeper in the chateau. "Shs will give the information, rely upon it," said the captain. "I know, also, that I shall be unable to conceal myself much longer, for I have seen an enemy-Alain, the ancient steward of Treme." "I can f-iy as much, my good fellow. I have seen the face of a knave who was the valet of the governor of Brittany, my noble priteotor, and I strongly suspect he was one of the three scoundrels who attacked me one night jn the streets of Rennes; but we will un- ravel all this. In the meantime let us sleep." "Sleep!" exclaimed xfcwife The captain threw himself upon his bed. Jude watched. The captain slept, dreaming, perhaps by turns, of the noble Alice and the humble forest girl. Jude lay awake, pondering on the best means of discovering the heir of Treme. M. de Va.unoy, old Alain, and the valet Lapierre, held a midnight consultation in the private room of the 'Master of Trem- lays. ? -?- Lapierre, a truculent looking knave, about fifty years of asr\ originally from the southerly pa.rt of Anjou, a soil particularly > prolific in vagabonds and mountebanks, had exercised, until his twenty-fifth year, th«-v double calling of quack and juggler. It was <1 about this time he entered the service of the Count of Toulouse as valet and footman. i He then had with him a young and re- markably handsome child, whom the count made his page, and subsequently one of his J suite. Lapierre, who remained only valet, conceived a violent grudge, against the child, fj formerly his slave amd now his superior. ;?? When the count was residing at Hermes M J? governor of Brittany, Lapierre called upon Vaunoy at h;s hotel, and requested a private interview. Their conference was long, and Vaunoy more than once changed colour at the words of the late quack, and the latter, or leaving, received a well-filled' purse. A few days afterwards Vaunoy took him into his service. i It was from this moment that the Master of T rem lays began to show attention to Didier. It was a few weeks, afterwards that the latter w&s treacherously attacked in the streets of Rennes. i The clook of the chateau had long sounded midnight. Herve de Vaunoy paced the room in violent ag-jtation. "Saint-Dieu!" he oriod angrily, addressing. H his two oomrwuiions, "you were three against 3 one!—in the n'ight, too; three g<><xi rapiers against a dress-sword, and you missed him!" "I should have liked to have feen von there," growled1 Lapierre, showing a deep scar on his breast. 'ilie fought like a devil; andi Joachim, our poor compaion, was left dead ua the spot—Heaven rest his soul!" Y'JJ (To be continued.) ';t? .? i
