The Roupeli Mystery
By'Austyn Granville
CIIAPTKK t.
It was a finp nisht toward tlio latter
pnrt of Mny. During the la.vtimc there
had been clouds over Purls: but on the
nunronch of eveninc the sun hnd come
out, and. descending in n blaze of glory,
tinged the housetops with n fiery slow
and hurn'shed the waters of the beln
with n golden, mellow light. The small
mibtirh of Villnneuve. distant from the
liYench r.mltnl lint fourteen miles, shared
tliis generous halo of brilliant coloring.
It lacked just fifteen minutes of eleven
o'clock when the moon, which was nearly
nt the full, rose with slow and majestic
motion above the horizon, and Hung sus
peuded between earth and heaven like a
huge silver lamp. The great trees which
almost surrounded the chateau Vjlleneuve
cast across the smooth and velvety lawns
their deep shadows. From the chateau
Itself, the light of a solitary lamp, pal
Ing to o few mere twinkling rays, shone
fitfully. It came from a window in the
left wing of the building. Hcmote from
the creut metropolis, the hush of a pro
found peace was here upon everything,
save when stirred by the soft breeze from
the south, the leafy braiHies of tenderest
green rustled and moved gently to and
fro.
In the deep shade of an enormous oak
which seemed to keep watch and ward
over the sleeping inmates, stood a young
man named Charles Vafi Lith. to whom
every familiar object but conjured up to
his ardent imagination tin interior o.
that faintly illumirated apartment. This
silent watcher continued to gaze for some
momenta in the direction of the chateau
His demeanor was that of one undecided
as to w hat course to pursue. Twice he
Bt'-pped from the shadow of the tree and
lilaeed his foot upon the gravel walk, and
as many times retraced his footsteps.
At length he issued forth more boldly,
though not without caution, to prevent
tb crunching of his shoes upon the
gravel, and stood beneath the window,
Picking up two or three small pebbles,
he threw them against the glass. His
heart beat somewhat faster than its wont
as, after the third essay, a girl of about
nineteen years of nse. who bad been read
ing by the light of the lamp, left her
Beat and. opening the swinging casement,
looked out upon the night.
"Who is there?" she nsked, in a tone
which indicated some alarm, but singu
larly sweet and musical.
"It's Iit's Charles," replied the young
fellow: "don't be frightened. I must see
you, if only for a moment. I am going
away. I am leaving France. I return
to America to-morrow."
"Oh, nonsense," exclaimed the girl.
Tou are saying this just to try me."
' "I am not, upon my word, Harriet,"
answered Van Lith. "My passage is al
ready taken. I sail from Havre to-morrow
afternoon."
"Why did you not let me know
earlier?" she asked.
"I was afraid to write. You know
your aunt strictly forbade it. But, Har
riet, can't I get in, if only for a few
moments?"
"I really don't see how you can "
Harriet Weldon began, when the faint re
monstrance died away ujwn her Hps.
Seizing the strong stem of a thick vine
"which ran near the window, and assisted
by the trellis work, the young athlete be
low commenced an ascent which to an
older man would have proved nn impossi
ble feat. In a few moments his band was
on the window sill and the nest instant
he had leaped lightly into the chamber.
Harriet, the first raptures of their meet
ing over, begged him to be gone ; but he,
sitting beside her on the low window seat,
urged his plea for further time so elo
quently that she yielded, and could not
find It in tier heart to dismiss him nt
once. The lovers, too. had a hundred
confidences to interchange. Harriet told
Van Lith how, since his quarrel with her.
aunt, the persecutions of n certain M.
Chabot had become well-nigh intolerable.
She was afraid, moveover, that Mine.
Itoupell favored bis mi it.
"And now you are going to America,
Charles, and there will be no one to
stand between us. I am sure the man
lias not even the excuse of loving me. It
is my dowry he is after. He is, no doubt,
awnre that Madame Itoupell has made a
will in favor of Emily and myself."
Charles Van Lith could only clench his
fist in impotent rage.. To the house where
he had once been an honored and wel
come guest he now had to come like a
thief in the night to seek a farewell in
terview with the only being on earth who
yet loved and trusted him. In his mind
there was a burning sense of injustice.
The cold and severe tones in which Mine.
Itoupell hnd dismissed him seemed still
ringing in Ids cars.
"Do not go," pleaded Harriet. "I am
certain that it will not be long before my
aunt will relent ; that, after all, she really
thinks a great deal of you ; stay, aud I
will myself go to her on the first oppor
tunity which offers aud plead your
cause."
"You are more hopeful than I am,"
replied Van Lith, bitterly. "If I had
been treated with any show of justice,
why, I would not care. Hut your aunt
Is prejudiced against me. I am well
aware that Monsieur Chabot lias sought
to undermine her confidence in me, and
he has succeeded. I tell you, Harriet,
when I think of all these things It makes
me a desperate man."
He had been pacing the floor restlessly
with long, impatient strides. His face
was flushed with anger. With the mem
ory of Mme. Houpell's merciless treat
ment aroused anew within him, be could
hardly restrain himself.
"She Is worso than unjust," he con
tinued; "she has deliberately opened her
ears to these tales of Clialiot's and as
deliberately shut them to my explana
tions. Shu has magnified my smallest
mUdenicnnors into great faults."
"You must not blamo my aunt to me,
Charles. Itecollcct that to us girls, at
least, sho has ever been good and kind.
I wonder what would have happened to
us when mother 'died, if It hadn't been
for her? Few women would hnvo cross
ed the ocean as she did to fetch us, for
bar dead sister's sake; and she has been
M food as a mother to us ever since. No.
Charlie, you mustn't say a word agalns
Aunt Itutli in my 'nr!ng."
"Harriet," lie said, "you are quite right
to stand by her. It would he but a poor
return on your pnrt for all her kindness
to you if you didn't; but In wronging
me she Ins wronged you as well. In
opposing our union, she not only wrecks
my happiness, but yours."
He was quieter presently. In the soft
cnlng influence of Harriet Weldon's pres
once his evil genius seemed to desert him
The angry expression of his features re
'nxed. They sat side by side and began
to tnlk. Still pleading with him, Hnrriet
Weldon strove to persuade her lover to
abandon his intention of immediately
leaving France.
"I have given yoji all my heart," she
said, tearfully, "and now you are going
nwny, perhaps forever but hark, what
sound is that?"
She leaned out of the window nnd list
ened intently for a moment. The sound
of wheels on the carriage drive was (lis
tinctly audible. She rushed to the mnn-
tlepiece where a little clock stood ticking
away the precious moments.
"It is long past twelve," sho exclaim
ed. "That's their carriage we hear.
They've come back from the opera. O,
Charlie, go, go, I beg you, while you can
get away."
Van Lith turned at once to go. For
a moment only, he held her to bis breast
Into that brief interval of time were com
pressed a hundred different emotions
which stirred him as he had not been
stirred for mnny a day.
1 cannot, yet I must leave you," he
cried.
He bowed his head a little and kissed
her twice upon the lips. She trembled
violently, but thrust him away from her,
repeating in tones of entreaty:
lie careful I O, do be careful !"
He was himself once more. He plnced
the half-fainting form of the girl upon
the sofa, and hurried nway. He was
about to commence his descent from the
window, and bad already swung the old
fashioned, dlamond-pnned sash half way
open, when Harriet, in whose agitated
mind the fear of discovery overcame all
feminine weakness, rushed forward, and,
catching hold of his arm, exclaimed:
"You are too late! Come back. Be
quick, or you will be seen."
Van Lith had just time to close the
window when, through n chink in the cur
tains, he saw a hooded barouche, drawn
by two powerful horses, sweep rapidly
around the bend of the avenue and draw
up at the main, entrance of the chateau.
From the vehicle there alighted a gentle
man of about thirty years of age. With
a great show of attention he first assist
ed a young lady, evidently still in her
teens, to descend. He then with much
solicitude placed his nattily gloved hand
at the disposal of the third occupant of
the carriage, a gray-haired lady, evident
ly well advanced in years, for she leaned
heavily upon the shoulders of both her
companions, blie slavered slightly as she
tood upon the gravel path in the moon
light, notwithstanding that the night was
warm.
There were traces yet of extreme bcau
in this woman's features, who, as
Sarah Graham, had once been the toast of
the club rooms in fashionable New York.
t was still the face of a refined nnd cul
tured American lady. The nose was thin
nd aquiline, and an expression at once
haughty, yet kindly withal, sat upon the
mobile, nervous lips. Jewels flashed
pon her still firm neck aud her little
wrists. She held herself erect and her
ejes flashed proudly, as she looked upon
her splendid home.
"Emily, my dear, I have left my shawl
in the carnage. ill you please hand
to me? Monsieur Chabot, your arm."
The younger lady at once sprang light
into the carriage, and returning with
the shawl, wrapped it closely about her
unt. There was an inexpressible ten
derness in the action.
"How thoughtless of me, dear. You
might have taken cold. , Don't ring, Mon
sieur Chabot. I have a latch key. Ah,
here is Pierre. Pierre, are you sitting
p? I hope there's some supper ready,
for I'm hungry as I can be. Come, aunt ;
let's go in."
But something seemed to have attract
ed Mme. Houpell's attention. She with
drew her hand from the arm of her male
escort, and adjusting her monocle, a
dainty toy of gold and ivory, gazed stead
ily at the upper windows of the chateau.
Isn't it rather strange, my dear, that
there's a light in Harriet's room? I
thought she was going to bed. If her
headache was no worse than that, she
might as well have accompanied us this
evening. When I was a young girl, Mon
sieur Chabot, it would have taken some
thing more than a headache to keep me
way from the opera.'
M. Chabot smiled, and showed his
white teeth pleasantly.
'Madame can still teach us Inexperi
enced people how to enjoy life," he re
marked, gallantly. "It remained for the
United States to send to France another
Ninon D'Enclos, to prove that charming
women never grow old."
"Iteally, Monsieur Chabot, I am over
whelmed. For simplicity and natural
ness in compliment, my dear Emily, let
mo recommend this flatterer."
Mme. Houpell's favorite pastime was
to make M. Chabot believe that his ex
aggerated praises of her as a great lady
struck home. One of her sayings was,
"1 like Monsieur Chabot. He Is such a
sincere humbug," but she must have really
been a little moved on this occasion, for
her smooth, white fingers on the French
man's coat sleeve tightened their pressure
and her face lightened wonderfully,
Harriet, sheltered by the window cur
.tains, looked at Van Lith, whoround
his teeth so furloimly that, notwithstand
ing the gravity of the situation, the girl
could not forbear laughing. Mine. Itou
pell below was still smiling at tlio French
man's compliment.
"Let us go Inside," she said, at last,
"No doubt we shall find somo supper
somewhere. Poor Harriet ! I trust she
is not sick, I will go right upstairs nnd
seo how she is."
"That's comforting tidings, anyway,"
thought Van Lith, who had ugaln cau
tiously opened the window, and to whom,
as ho pecivd through the curtains, erery
vord uttered by the party below was dls
inctly audible. "Look here, Harriet,
what on earth am I to do? Madame
Itoupell is coming to seo how you are.
In a minute nho will bo here."
Harriet's cheeks blanched for n mo
nent, for from her station nenr the door
of the chamber she could already hear
Mme. ItoupelPs footsteps ascending the
stnlrs.
"Come here," she cried to Van Lith,
rnntically. "There is no one sleeping In
our old room. Haw across the hall
uickly, and hide yourself thero until I
nil you. I will lock you In. so my
unit will have to go the other way. You
mist return through her sitting room to
the corridor. You can do it easily, for
she Is a sound sleeper."
Van Lith did s he was directed. Har
riet had barely time to turn the key on
him. return to her chnmher, sent herself
nnd snatch up a book, when her aunt's
footsteps were henrd In the corridor, nnd
a moment late the old lady entered the
apartment.
"Awake yet, my dear child? Can't you
sleep? Oh! You are thinking of thnt
young senmp I'm afraid. Well, I
wouldn't if I were you. He isn't worth
it. Besides, if you don't go to bed earlier
where will the roses go to?"
She stooped and kissed her niece ten
derly on both cheeks, and then went to
the window.
"I mustn't keep the horses out all
night. Jean ! Jean !"
The coachman turned on the box and
looked up at the window.
"You can go to the stables. Monsieur
Chnbot will not return to the city to
night." Mme. Itoupell closeil the window again
and came back to where her niece was
sitting.
"Monsieur Chabot sleeps hero to
night?" inquired Harriet, in a tone of
apparent unconcern, while her heart was
really beating violently. "Where will
you put him, aunty?"
"Can t he have Monsieur Van Llth's
old room, dear?"
"Not very well. But the chamber off
your own is ready, and the sheets are
aired."
"Very well, child, then I will give di
rections thnt he be lodged there. And
now good-night. Don't sit up reading;
but try to sleep."
Mme. Itoupell turned nnd left the
apartment. It was the last benediction
that wns to fall from the lips of Harriet
Weldon's benefnetress ; for the shadow
of an nwful crime was even then hovering
over the chateau.

A I'lnirue of CIncka.
We bud been settled but n little
while In our Indian clearing, nnd had
just acquired a deed to It bearing the
signature of Andrew Jackson, saya
'Joaquin" II. Miller In the Boston

rond, with a load of clocks In n car
riage. He had n big, Impertinent boy
with lilm, nnd pleaded sadly that both
of them were sick.
Mother was very Rood to them, pull
ed out the trundle-bed to the middle
of the floor, had us children sleep nt
the foot of her bed, and treated the
strangers as If they had been her own
blood. But they both walled nnd moan
ed bitterly, and begged father to take
the clocks and disuse of them nt his
leisure to his neighbors.

them, but upon the reiterated assur

signed n note nnd became n "merchant."
At the end of the year that hntchet-
fneed man enme hack and exacted his
money with enormous interest, nl
though father had not yet sold n single
clock.
Years later, when we set out to
cross the great plains, those old clo-ks,
with but a single one missing, took up
more than half the wngon space. We
hauled them from Indlnnn almost to
the top of the Itocky Mountains, and
then, one night, In a terrific snow
storm, when the wagon had upset, we
found a use for them. Brass, wood,
glass nnd varnish all went to feed a
fire. And so peace to their sounding
brnas, rest to their brazen faces!

In discussing tho measures which
they lmvo placed beforo tho people the
promotors net out their Ideas hh fol
lows: "Wo boliovo all citlzons agree thnt,
. i t ill. ..
every political party siiouni uo lenru
sented In the government in proportion
to tho number of its bu porters among
tho people; that no political party
should ever have a greater majority of
tho officers of government than it has
of tho votes of the peoplo; that tho
people ehould bo ublo to express their
disapproval of any officer's acts by re
calling him from office; that tho people
ehould elect and choose their United
States eoriutora; thut character, and not
tho po'eession of wealth, or the secret
or public Biipi o-t of great corporations,
or wealthy citizens, should be of ad
vantage to any man aspiring to public
office. Tho measures herein offered by
members of tho People's Power lenguo
of Oregon aro expected to aid In obtain
ing theo results."
In discussing the recall amendment
to the constitution tho proposers say it
will bo second only to tho initiative
and referendum. It is pointed out thut
tho people of tho fetnte cannot now re
call an officer once elected without
proving him guilty of a crime beyond a
reasonable doubt.
It is poinetd out that almost contin
ually district attorneys and sheriffs
contend t' oy are unablo to enforce tho
laws, or an assessor says it Is impossi
ble to ataes ull property fairly or to
make great wealth bear its just shuro
of the burden cf government. It Is ar
gued that if one-fourth of tho voters of
the state or district could bring such
officers face to face with public dis
charge for incompetency they would do
their work or else tho people would get
officers who would do it for thorn. It
is asserted thut should tho law bo
nnauft1 Mm mnrn Inronr. rif invnltnif If
,r, r Vt 1
would be offtctivo in the great mtiior-
ity of cases nnd tho peoplo would hear
less of maintaining tho dignity of an
offico and moro of maintaining its effi
cacy. In tho draft itself it is provided thnt
25 per cent of tho voters who cast thoir
votes for an election of justlco of tho
Supremo court at the election prior to
tho action for retail may filo their pe
tition demanding tho recall of an offi
cer who is not enforcing tho law.
The petition shull set forth tho rea
sons for demanding tho recall und if
tho officer does not resign within flvo
days after the filing of tho petition
then a special election tdiall be held
jvithln 20 days to determine whether or
net tho officer shall bu recalled.
On tho rumple ballots ut this election
tho petitioners shall set forth in not
moro than 200 words, tho reaeons for
their action while tho officer shall set
fe.rth In another 200 worda hia justifi
cation for hie acta. At this same elec
tion either candidates for tho offico shull
bo nomir.ated and tho ono receiving tho
highest vote In nomination thai I bo
deemed to bo elected.
In tho event tho accused official re
ceives tho highest number of votm at
tho election ho sliall remain in offico.
Petitions of recall may bo filed agiilriHt
members of tho legialaturo after ho has
served live days or longor In tlio first
eopalon following Ills election. In tho
caso of other officers alx months must

180(1 tho voto of tho Republican party
throughout tho state was less than one

It is argued that proportional repre

proportional voto in tho legislature,
just ub it hue in tho general oleotions.
Tho text of tho proposed law is as fol
lows: "Section 10. In all elections au
thorized by this constitution until

but provision may be rnado by law for

"Every qualified elector resident in
