Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-11-19

WE QUICKLY ALIGHTED. should wait on Mme Bonaparte, tell her frankly what had befallen, and ask whether she would receive me. It was to her that owed my release from the Abbaye, and felt sure that if she knew all the facts she would help me out of the serious difficulty in which had be- come entangled.
 'I doubt it," said Lacluse. Glow ever, as you think so, will see her. You wait here. The Rue de h Victoire is not far off. 1 will return presently and let you know what Mime. Bona parte says"
 In less than an hour he was back. Mime. Bonaparte would receive me with pleasure.
 "Allonsr said Lacluse. "No fear of the agent secret spotting you. By this time he is cooling his heels in the Rue du Bac."
 We found Mime. la Generale in her boudoir, looking fresh and rosy. and dressed in acharming morning costume. She was in excellent spirits, and her manner was more natural than at our first interview-probably because her husband was out of the way. Every body seemed to stand in awe of that man.
 Lacluse asked to be excused; he wanted to make inquiries about Forget.
 "You may go," said Josephine; but don't be long. We may want you. Dame! M. Roy" she said, turning to me, "I had no idea you were so reckless. Not content with offending my husband ch h Lieut.. Forget"
 "I assure you, madame, it was done in fair fight, and the quarrel was none of my seeking"
 "All the same it is very unfortunate | the more so as it arose from your i'm prudent expressions about De GeX. It is not wise to say all one thinks; and when the affair comes to the knowledge | of the police they will more than ever incline to the belief that you are in communication with royalist plotters. Who was the lady you met last night in the Tuileries gardens?"
 This unexpected question, fired of | point-blank, took me all abaclz.
 "A ladyH' stammered.
 "Yes, a lady, closely vailed, with whom you promenaded in the gardens nearly half an hour. An, M. Roy, fear you are a mauvais sujet."
 'I assure you, madame, she is good girl"
 "Proof of which is that she gives you a rendezvous in the Tuileries gardens after dark. Who is she?"
 ''That am not at liberty to say. As for myself, I have nothing to conceal but when it concerns another-"
 "And that other a lady. I under stand perfectly, M. Roy. But the police think she is royalist emissary."
 Mot at all She is nothing of the sort"
 "Did you know her before last night2'
 "I did"
 "Before you came to Paris?"
 "No."
 "You cannot have made many ac quaintances. You have been all thu time with Lacluse. Ha! have it! Tha young woman who brought your lette
 and pleaded your cause-what is he
 name? remember; Mile. Carmine
 Now, tell me frankly, was not the lad.
 you met Mile. Carmine? will respec , your confidence. Parole d'honneur."
 'T am sure you will, madame, and
 cannot deny that you have guesse' aright- But Mile. Carmine's object il meeting me was merely to warn m that was in danger, and to counse
 prudence. She is pleased to take , kindly interest in my fortunes" B "And no wonder. She is good-look 3 ing girl, and you are beau garcor Do ladies generally take a kindly inter est In your fortunes, M. Roy?" 7 Several have done, and I am in 8 mensely obliged to them-especially t t you, Mime. Bonaparte.''
 Don't flatter yourself, my dear si1 r It Is for your mothers sake-not fo t your beaux yeux-that I interest my - self in your welfare. But the questio ]; now is, how are you to get out of thi d new scrape? During the generals al e sence my influence is at zero; I cannc n protect you. There is only one way 8 You must quit Paris at once." V 'T will do what you advise. But ho' V about the police? and whither must
 goP"
 VI 'I have plan. Listenl Gen. Boni > parte Is on a tour of inspection. l @ four or five days he will be at Boulogn s Before he left it was arranged that o should send one of his aides-de-camp u meet him there, with his letters and ID Il news shall send Lacluse. You sha b go with him."
