But devotion was not all. A sentiment
of a more tender nature had taken pos
session Of her heart. That pity which
every woman feels for the unfortunate
had been succeeded by a new sensa-
ton, both melancholy and sweet. She
had suffered a wound which had
brought to her heart for the first time
both joy and fear.
Seated on the white marble bench,
the young girl, absorbed in her refiec-
tions, seemed oblivious to all about her,
as if her soul had already taken leave
Of the disappointments and miseries of
life. A shadow coming between her
and the rays of the setting sun, filtering
through the branches of the trees,
caused her to raise her head. A few

had met In taking leave of the duke
just as she had appointed the hour and
place of intended interview. She had
also recognized him as the man who
had been hanging about Siivere's cot

in upon her mind.
Where had she seen this man? Pass

suddenly remembered-it was the trav-

her travelling companions and on whose
account they thought 1t necessary on

These recollections brought feeling

in her heart. The young man, perceiv-

but now. at the last moment. he trenl-
hled lest some unforeseen happening
might Interfere with his success. He
thought OF the promises OF Metternich
and the recompense which awaited
him. but his knowledge of men and the
contempt he felt for them rendered
him perpIexed and agitated. After all.

ow over him at the moment when he
was about to gather the fruit Of so
much pains.
One thought especially distressed
him--he was a spy, one of those vile
instruments OF whom the great make
use but whom they throw over as
soon as they are through with them.
The more he listened to such thoughts
the more uneasy he became. What
he feared above all things was his com
plicity In that VIE action In entering
the dukes apartments. The chancellor
Of Austria. the prince Of the Holy EN-
pire. had been his accomplice. For one
hour this man had been on his own
level, when he had looked upon the
mask OF one who for so many years
had made Europe treInble. Reichstadt
rode on. his head aloft, breathing the
balmy evening air, his thoughts of an
entirely different nature. He blessed
the hour which he had so long expect
ed and which was now about to arrive.

cast off. When he placed his foot In

20 years, he had cast an adleu with
all the hatred he felt In his heart.
And tomorrow. that tomorrow which
he had SO long awaited, the son Of the
Eagle, with spread wings, would soar
into space In the presence of battles.
In his heart sang the bugle Of armies.
He saw immense plains covered with
soldiers, who were shouting their &C

banners displayed. lie saw masses OF
troops advancing In the burning sun,

CHAPTER x.
AN EXPLANATION.


Preceded by Silvere, the new arrivals
entered the chapel. which was feebly
lighted by lamps. Near the ruined
steps formerly used for mounting to
the altar, silent, enveloped In their
cloaks stood two men. At the entrance
of the duke they quickly uncovered
and displayed the figures of soldiers.
Upon seeing him their faces lighted up,
but their brows contracted the moment
they perceived his companion. Reich
stadt, perceiving the bad impression
produced by his attendant, fastened
to reassure them.
"Gentlemen," said he, "do not think
that In a matter SO important would
permit myself to act except circum-
specify. know very well that the
least indiscretion might cause the great
est trouble. 1t might cost you your
heads and me perpetual imprisonment

expressly at the request OF a young
girl devoted to our cause. refer to
the adopted daughter of my old servi-
tor Silvere."
At the mention Of Colette and learn
ing that 1t was she who advised the
duke the spy trembled. Why had this
young girl, who had only reason to de-
spise him. who the evening before had
cruelty ridiculed him, why had she
brought him into the midst Of a plot
which, thanks to him, would be thwart-
ed? Here was a mystery.
The duke. who feared that the ex-
PLANTATION that he had given might be
received with reserve. and realizing
that he might have acted hastily In
honoring with his friendship a man
who had given no proof that he deserv-
ed 1t, did not remark the terror of his
companion. Leaving the spy in COM
pany with Silvere, the duke retired to
corner of the chapel and began to
converse In low voice with the two
conspirators. Finally the interview
was ended; everything appeared to
have been arranged. Silvere had light
ed torch in order to guide the duke
and his companions away, when one
who was not expected made her APP
pearance.
1t was Colette.
What was the meaning OF her APP
pearance there at such an hour? Did
she come to bid the duke farewell, or
was she intending to attach herself to
his fortunes? These questions sug-
gested themselves to those present.
Their suspense did not last long. Co
lette, pale and resolute, turned toward
the generals, who regarded her with
stupefaction-
Gentlemen" she said, your travel
ing companion has come to you to full
