.t By MAURICE ROUGET
? "
The Marquis de la Kerrlere was In
his cabinet in his imMrk* In the Fau
? boars St. ilormaln In Paris. The Pros- j
! sians had Iwn victorious at every j
point ami bad captured I tie Emperor
j Napoleon III. Tlie marquis was pacing
*ack and forth with his hand* clasped
behind hia back, evidently much agitat
ed. A servant entered, announced
i "Maitre JonssJeur" and was followed
: by a man of a professional cut.
| "Joussleur." said the marquis with- J
I out even Inviting the lawyer to be j
; seated, "we are to have terrible tiroes I
l The Prussians are sure to capture j
| Paris, for there Is nothing that can I
successfully oppose^ them When they ,
| have squee*ed out of us all the blood j
I (here Is In us and have withdrawn we
[ shall again he at the mercy of the mob j
that slaughtered our fathers when the
monarchy fell. I am old and feeble
and doubt If I shall live through the
coming storms. My son. Victor. Is with
his regiment at the front. I wish to
execute a paper that w-lll turn orer my
property to him."
"Why not make a will?"
"Because at iny death relatives are I
sure to dl?pute any ?ill I may make.
When I die my property must pass
from me to my son through the courts
and In this Intermediate state It will
be vulnerable. If I give It to my son
sow he will possess It. and you know
that possession Is nine points In the
law."
i "Well, marquis, all you reed to do Is
dimply sltni a paper by n hlch for a i
consideration you transfer all your
j property to Victor "
Taking up a slip of psper. the at
torney wrote what he had stated and
\ In about as simple form Jousslenr
AT A OUSTS UK aSCTKiSICKP THK rArf.lt 1
affixed his notarial soal. nnd domestics
wore called In to witness the signa
tare. Then ttw lawyer, who was In a
hurry, as every one in Paris was at
that time, went away at once. The i
marquis followed him to the door. At
the same moment a door or window in
another part of the bouse was opened,
and since the day was blustery a
strong draft swept through the cabi
net. When the marquis turned to
his desk he found most of the papers
on the floor. Catherine them up. he
placed them In a tin bos. from which
they had l?een removed, and pnt the
hot In his safe.
The next visitor the marquis recelr
?d was Mile. Natalie Villaret, a youn? j
lady about twenty yenrs of age and of
prepossessing appearance.
"My dear." he said. "1 have done
something today of which I wish to
Inform you. Knowing that Victor's !
flfo would he blighted If he should be i
anable to claim yon for his wife and I
having a strong feciinc that 1 shall
not live throuch the terriWe times
upon which wp are ??ntorlne. tvaliting
j that should Victor he deprived of tny I
property, which sh ild l?e his at my j
death, and knowing further that In
that event your father would not con
! sent to your marrlac* with my sob?
| realUinp all these as I do, I have
' signed a paper putting him In posses
sion of all my property from this day.
i In case he l:res to return and finds
I that I have succumbed tell him that
tie will find the paper in a tin bo* in
the safe "
"Oh, marquis." exclaimed the young
rlrl. throwinc her arms a round the
:>ld man's neck, "how thoughtful yon
are for our happiness! Banish these
forebodings. I certainly expect to
; have you at our wedding."
! "No; my grandfather died on the
' guillotine during the reign of terror
My father, who in '4*- was an Invalid.
; was so worked apon by his fears,
remembering what he had passed
thronch a? a cWM. that he was
i overcome by mental distress When
we get rid of the Prussians?If we
ever do- there will l>e more trouble,
i r.nd I do tot care to live to see the
| end of It "
A shudder pnss?sfl over Mite, Vlllaret.
for she. too. rvallcpd that when the
comlnr storm had blown over many a
family In France would be left in
nenmtng. Indeed, her kiver was aven
cow cvnutantly meeting It he perils of
war.
? ??????
The Oerm/tn army h?<l \ marched
through Paris and was on lt? way
bach to the fatherland The com
munlsts Had sacked Parts?and burned
many public buildings. Including the
historic p?l*?* of the Tullerte* The
ifpnblk- bad l*?i Mt?bll*b?d, and
once more quiet waa restored to
France. The Marquis de la Ferrlere
bad auccumbed to the horror* of the
commune. HI* ?on had returned, bad
! l?een wounded In the defense of Paris.
! had been nursed by Mile. Vlllaret and
I had recovered. The day for the wed
ding of the young marquis and hi*
fiancee had been fixed, and the shadow
! that bung' over France In their case
! had been brightened by their coming
nuptials.
When the day arrived for the mar
| rlnge settlements Victor went to hi* fa
i ther'* saf<> to get the paper that had
\ put him In possession of his Inberlt
j snce. A unit bad already been com
| raenced to deprive him of It. but he
I had no feiir hut that when It became
I known that he h::tl IfM the owner for
? some time Injfore his father's death It
would he withdrawn Opening the
i safe, he to^k out the tin l*?x and be
! can to hunt for the [mper he wanted
j It *as not to l*e foutrd Again and
| again be went Ihrongh everything In
I the box. but nothing transferring any
j property to him appeared. Beside
j himself with anxiety, he examined
every document In the safe. Not a
scrap of a pen either transferring or
bequeathing pr?|^rty to him was there j
Hastening to Natalie, he asked her If j
she had not been mistaken In the place
his father had told her she would And
the transfer She replied that she was
positive the marquis had said It was
In a tin box In tin? safe.
When M. Vlllaret was apprised of
the fact that Victor must gain posses
sion of the etitate as belr-at-law through
[ the courts, ttliat a snlt for It had al
ready been commenced by Victor's
cousins, he refused to give his consent
to the marrlnge. Natnlie would bare i
been willing to wait till the Inheritance
was dei ided. but suita in chancery are >
long drawn out. and unless the estate !
j Involved is a very large one It Is usn- !
nlly eaten up In litigation. Victor was j
too honorable to permit her to remain
tied to him with so desperate a proa- ?
poet Iwfore him.
But the love !>etween Victor and Na
talie was too strong to tie broken,
though their union was given up. The
courts permitted the young marqnia to
retain temporary |x>ssesslon of the
family residence In the Faubourg St.
Germain, aim) Victor spent many an
hour in his father's cabinet trying to
conjure up some reason for the non
appearance of the missing paper which !
his father h?id evidently mislaid In
stead of putting away In the box. aa j
he had supposed he had done.
The old world has not. or at lea at
had not at that time, done away with
many of Its ancient usages. The La !
Ferrlere residence waa a very old one
In the cabinet was a hnge fireplace
with one of those enormous chimney*
requiring to be cleaned at atated times
The chimney aweep. with his smock
frock and sooty face, even to this day.
Is an Institution in parts of Kurope.
Victor was sitting In his cabinet one
day when his major dotno ushered In a
sweep and tcld him to clean the chim
ney.
So wrapt wus Victor In trying to
solve the problem of the missing pa
per that he was unconscious of any
one having entered the room. 8udden
ly he looked up to be confronted by
the black face and white eyes of tbe
sweep, who sitood before him with
outstretched band. In which there was
something yellow and black. Victor
took a crumpled paper from tbe sweep,
smoothed it out and at a glance recog
nlred the paper for which he had been
hunting.
When, a few moments later, be ran
out of (he cabinet, meeting the major
domo In the bull, the latter thought
some accident hud happened to his mas
ter. for Victor's face and shirt bosom
were covered with soot He had em
braced the sweep. He was seizing his
hilt to go to inform Natalie of the find
when the servant held him and begged
him to look In a mirror before learlng
the bouse. He (lid so and saw that
he must delay to wash the soot off his
face and put on clean linen.
There was rejoicing In the two
families at the recovery. Its posses
sion forced Victor's opponents to with
draw their claims as belrs of hla
father and beitin all over again aa
heirs of the late marquis" grandfather.
Discouraged, they were ready to listen
to a proposition Victor made them to
pay the costs of the suit, which had
already become considerable.
When Maltre Jnussleur was Informed
of the recovery of the transfer he had
executed he remembered that when
be opened the door to leave tbe lat*
marquis" cabinet a draft had swept
the papers off the table. His theory
was that the pajier the marquis bad
just signed had t*?en carried Into tbe
chimney, where It bad lodged hi ?
crevice Fortunately no fire had been
made there since. The chimney was
being cleaned preparatory to ita use
In the approaching winter. The mar
quis who was greatly agitated at the
time, bad doubtless supposed the In
strument was among the paper* he
had picked up off the floor. Those In
terested were obliged to be content
with this explanation since the mar
quis was alone wlwn he replaced the
scattered papers and was the only
person who conld have given any at
count of tbe matter.
As soon as the snlt against Victor's
?state had been withdrawn M. VII
laret settled a hundred thousand
francs on his daughter, anrf the nnp
tlals with the young marquis were
celebrated.
