CHAPTER X.
TIIK MIITINU.
A few momenta after, A gricoln entered the room;
but, ul .s! the seamstress perceived at the first
glance, in the dejected countenance of the work
man, the ruin of her cherished hopes.
" Well!" said Pagohert to his son, in a tone
which clearly announced the little faith he at
tached'to the sleps taken by Agricola; "well,
trhat news?"
" Father, it is enough to drive one mad to
make one dash one's brains out against the wall!"
cried the smith in a rage.
Dajrobert turned towards Mother Bunch, and
said: " You see, my pior child I was Bure of
it"
" Well, father," cried Agricola; "have you seen
tho Count de Montbron ? "
" The Count de Montbron Bet out for Lorraine
three days ago. That is my good news," con
tinued the soldier, with bitter irony; "let us have
yours I long to know all. I need to know, if,
on appealing to the laws, which, as you told me,
protect aud defend honest people, it ever happens
that tho rogues get the best of it. I want to
know this, mid then I want an iron hook so I
count on you for both."
" Whai do you meau, father? " !
"First, tell me what you have done. We have
time. It is not much more than half-past eight.
On leaving me, where did you go first?"
"To the commissary, who had already re
ceived your depositions."
"What did he say to you?"
"After having kindly listened to all I had to
state, he answered, that these young girls were
placed in a respectable house, a convent so that
thero did not appear any urgent necessity for
their immediate removal and besides, he could
not take upon himself to violate the sanctity of a
religious dwelling, upon your simplo testimony;
to-morrow, lie will make his report to the proper
authorities, and steps will be taken accordingly."
" Yes, yes plenty of put ofTs,' said the soldier.
''But, sir,' answered I to him," resumed Agri
cola, " 'it is now, this very night, that you ought
to act, for if these young girls should not be pre
sent to-morrow morning in the Rue Saint-Francois,
their interests may suffer incalculable dam
age." " I am very sorry for it," replied he, " but
I cannot, upon your simple declaration, or that
of your father, who like yourself is no relation
or connection of these young persons, act in
direct opposition to forms, which could not be
set aside, even on the demand of a family. The
law has its delays and its formalities, to which
we are obliged to submit.' "
"Certainly 1" said Dagobert. "We must sub
mit to them, at the risk of bocoming cowardly,
ungrateful traitors I"
"Didst speak also of Mdlle. de Cardoville to
him?" asked the work-girl.
"Yes but he answered me on this subject in
much the same manner: "It was very serious;
there was no proof in support of my deposition.
A third party had told me that Mdlle. de Cardo
rille affirms she was not mad; but all mad people
preteud to bo eane. He could not therefore, upon
my sole testimony, take upon himself to enter
the house of a respectable physician. But he
would report upon it, and the law would have its
course "
"Then I wished to act just now for myself,"
said Dagobert, 'did I not see all this? And yet I
was weak enough to listen to you."
" But, father, what you wished to attempt was
impossible, and you agreed that it would expose
you to far too dangerous consequences."
"So," resumed the soldier, without answering
Lis son, "they told you in plain terms, that we
must not think of obtaining legally the release of
Rose and Blanche this evening, or even to-morrow
morning?"
" Yes, father. In the eyes of the law, there is
no special urgency. The question may not be
decided for two or three days."
" That is all I wished to know," said Dagobert,
rising, and walking up and down the room.
" And yet,"'resumed his son, " I did not con
sider myself beateu. In despair, but believing
that justice could not remain deaf to such equita
ble claims, I ran to the Palais de Justice, hoping
to find there a judge, a magistrate, who would
receive my complaint, and act upon it."
u Well?" said the soldier, stoping him.
" I was told that the courts shut every day at
five o'clock, and do not open again till ten in the
morning. Thinking of your despair, and of the
position of poor Mdlle. de Cardoville, I deter-
mined to mate one more attempt. 1 entered a
guard-house of troops of the line, commanded
by a lieutenant. I told him all. He saw that I
was bo much moved, and I spoke with o much
w.rmth and conviction,' that he became inter
ested. 'Lieutenant,' said I to him, 'grant me one
fuvor: Iet a petty officer and two soldiers go to
the convent, to obtain a legal entrance. Let
them ask to see the daughters of Marshal Simon,
mid learn whether it is their choice to remain, or
return to my father, who brought them from
Russia. You will then see if they are not de
tained against their will ' "
"Aud what answer did he give you, Agricola?"
asked Mother Bunch, while Dagobert shrugged
his shoulders, and continued to walk up aud
down.
"'My good fellow' said he, 'what you ask me
is impossible. I understand your motives, but I
cannot take upon myself so serious a measure.
I should be broke were I to enter a convent by
force.' 'Then, sir, what am I to do? It is
enough to turn one's head.' 'Faith, I don't
know,' said the lieutenant: ' it will be safest, I
think, to wait.' Then, believing I had done all
that was possiblo, father, I resolved to come back,
in the hope that you might have been more fortu
nate than I but, alas ! I was deceived ! "
So saying, the smith sank upon a chair, for he
was worn out with anxiety and fatigue. There
was a moment of profound silence after these
words of Agricola, which destroyed the last hopes
of the three, mute and crushed beneath the
strokes of inexorable fatality.
A new incident came to deepen the sad and
painful character of this scene.
behind you; you will be more comfortable, and
warmer."
"How you both Bpoil me!" said Frances, try
ing to smile. "And you to be so kind, after all
the ill I have done!" added she to Dagobert, as,
disengaging one of her hands from thosejof her
son, she took the soldier's hand Jand pressed it to
her tearful eyes. "In prison," said 6he in a low
voice, " I had time to repent." J
Agricola'i heart was near breaking at tha
thought that his pious and good mother, with
ber angelic purity, should for a momont have
been confined in prison with so many miserable
creatures. He would have made some attempt to
console her on the subject of the painful past, but
he feared to give a new shock to Dagobert, and
was silent

CHAPTER XI.
DISCOVERIES.
The door which Agricola had not thought of
fastening opened, as it were, timidly, and Fran
ces Baudoin, Dagobert's wife, pale, sinking, hard
ly able to support herself, appeared on the thres
hold.
The soldier, Agricola, and Mother Bunch, were
pluuged in such deep dejection, that neither of
them at first perceived the entrance. Frances
advanced two steps into the room, fell upon her
kneos, clasped her hands together, and said in a
weak and humble voice; " My poor husband
pardon I "
At these words, Agricola and the work-girl
whose backs were towards the door turned
round suddenly, and Dagobert hastily raised his
head.
"My mother!" cried Agricola, running to
Frances.
"My wife!" cried Dagobert, as he also rose,
and advanced to meet the unfortunate woman.
" On your knees, dear mother ! " said Agricola,
stooping down to embrace her affectionately
"Get up, I entreat you I "
" No, my child," said Frances, in her mild,
firm accents, " I will not raise, till your father
has forgiven me. I have wronged him much
now I know it."
" Forgive you, my poor wife? " said the soldier,
as he drew near with emotion. "Have I ever
accused you except in ray first transport of de
spair? No, no; it was the bad priests that I ac
cused, and there I was right. Well! I have you
again," added he, assisting his son to raise Fran
ces; "one grief the less. They have then restored
you to liberty? Yesterday, I could not even
learn in what prison they had put you. I have
so many cares that I could not think of you only.
But come, dear wife: sit down ! "
" How feeble you are, dear mother! how cold
how pale! said Agricola with anguish, his eyes
filling with tears. " Why did you not let us
know?" added he. "We would have gone to
fetch you. But how you tremble! Your hands
are frozen!" continued the smith, as he knelt
down before Frances. Then, turning towards
Mother Bunch: "Pray, make a little fire direct
ly." . " I thought of it, as soon as your father came
in, Agricola, but there is no wood nor charcoal
left."
"Then pray borrow some of Father Loriot, my
dear sister. He is too good a fellow to refuse.
My poor mother trembles she might fall ill."
Hardly had she said the words, than Mother
Bunch went out. The smith rose from the
ground, took the blanket from the bed, and care
fully wrapped it about the knees and feet of his
mother. Then, again kneeling down, he said to
her: "Your hands dear mother!" and taking
those feeble palms in his own, he tried to warm
them with his breath.
Nothing could be more touching than this pic
ture: the robust young man, with his energetic
and resolute countenance, expressing by his
looks the greatest tenderness, and paying the
most delicate attentions to his poor, pale, trem
bling old mother.
Dagobert, kind-hearted as his son, went to
fetch a pillow, and brought it to his wife, saying:
"Lean forward a little, and I will put this pillow
