"Love 1" said Woman; in reply.
WHOSE WIFE WAS SHE?
CONCLUDED.
The unconscious revelation seemed
to George too horrible to be possi?
ble; he beard, bnt his reason refused
to receive the'terrible words. More
as one in profound astonishment
than as one in sorrow, he stared blank?
ly at hie mother, the room seemed to
sway around him, but mastering
himself by a strong effort, be begged
bis mother to repeat word for word
what she bad just said. Madame de
Garran did so, but no sooner had
she uttered the beloved name, than
George, beating the air with his
hands, and staggering forward a few
paces, fell senseless at her feet, like
one who had just received a mortal
blow. Terrified and shocked, his
mother bent over him. A livid pale?
ness covered his face, his limbs stif?
fened and bis breathing was sus?
pended, bnt bis wide-opened eyes
were still fixed npon his mother's
face. There is little doubt that
death or madness munt have been
the result of the shook, bad not
nature relieved the pent-np tempest
of grief by a passion of sobs and
eries, which when it at length abated,
left the young man as weak as a
child, bat calm and composed.
Madame de Garran was a woman
of strong common sense, and quick
perceptions, and during all her
efforts to restore and quiet her son,
ber, mind had been busied with the
circumstances which had led to his
sudden .seizure. Beading the past
by the light of the present, she re?
membered ber son'p. prolonged ab?
sence in Toulouse, and recognized it
as .certain that he must have known
and admired Mademoiselle do la
Faille. .Iiis overpowering emotion
showed that he must have loved her
deeply, and his love had probably
been unfortunate, else why had she,
his mother, been left in ignorance ol
it? Absorbed in her reflections, and
less apprehensive os to her son, whe
was lying quietly on the couch oe
which she had had him laid, she was
recalled to herself by feeling George'?
band laid on her own.
"Forgive mo, mother," be said
"for having so alarmed and troubl?e
?on on the very day of my return
nt this woman, of whose death yoi
have told me, she was my first anc
only love, and in the same breath !
bear of her falsehood and her death
Oh, Clemence, if for one hour dur
ing all those weary years of captivity
I had forgotten you, I should hole
myself as fitly punished now; but no
not an hour, not a minute; you wer
ever before me, and after all it wa
for the wife of another man that
was eating my heart out in vain re
grets."
By slow degrees, Madame d
Garran learned all she wished t
know; and she applied herself t
soothe and comfort him, rather fe
the faithlessness than for the deat
of Clemence. She represented t
him that Clemence must of coure
have heard of his death-on whic
no one had cast the shadow of doul
-and that, after a period of moan
ing and despair, the wretche'd gir
without any hope of happiness i
this world for herself, had do nb tlc;
yielded to her father's commandi
and submitted to a marriage i
whioh her heart had no share. ]
fact, the arguments which Mudan
de Gamin's motherly ingenuity pi
forth for George's consolation, coi
fained nothing but the simple ?rut]
and quite os truo was her last supp
sitien, that tho death of Clement
had been caused by her unappeasab
grief for the loss of her lover and tl
inability she felt to live in a wor
where he no longer was.
George listened silently, not os 01
who feels his sorrow to be witho
redress, but rather as one who i
volves some extraordinary projet
His mother anxiously watched eve
viii j i UK e i pr usai on of his face, b
she could read nothing thore sa
calm deliberation.
Toward.} evening, he announc
his intention of going out, and s
saw him fill his purso with gol
She looked on in silence, althou
beyond measure uneasy, until
kissed her forehead and bade li
good-night. Then she laid her tre
bling band on his arm :
"George, you are my only chi
God has just given you back tot
miraculously. You will not-"
She could not give words to t
dreadfnl fear which possessed her.
"No, mother," he said; "do i
fear that for me. 1 believe in anotl
life."
And, giving her time to say
more, ho left the house.
Darkness was falling as Geoi
rapidly took tho road to St. G
mains-des-Pres, where, having
rived, he learned from tho bea
the cemetery where Madame
Servios wa- buried. It was not
from the ohuroh, and George st
eacbed it, and aroused the gm
digger, who lived in tx solitary cot
tage closo to the endosare. The
man was awakened by loud and re?
peated knocks at his door, and when
he saw a distinguished-looking man,,
who, without loss of time, ordered
him to help in disinterring the body
of Madame de Servins, he could only
think he had to do with a mad?
man, and endeavored to paoify bim.
But George, who saw the impression
he had made, struggled to calm him?
self, and ended by persuading his
astonished listener that bis desire to
look once more on the face of the
dead, was the fixed purpose of a reso?
lute and desperate man in the full
possession of his senses.
Convinced of this, tho sexton ab?
solutely refused either to aid in or
permit of so sacrilegious an act, and
the hand-fulls of gold, "which seemed
illimitable riobes to him, had no
effect in ohangiug his resolution.
George had confidently relied on his
oupidity, and finding himself mis?
taken, he gave way to such a
paroxysm of grief, that by force of the
pity which ho inspired, ho gained
what his gold could not buy.
When all was arrauged between
them, they entered the church-yard,
provided with a spade, crow-bar,
pick and lantern. Thu night was
just such another as that on which
George and Clemence had parted,
four years previously; a soft wind
scarcely moved the boughs of the
shrubs and trees which grew in and
around the cemetery, and a calm
and splendid moon was shining down
from a oloudless sky. Both men
worked as thongh their lives depend?
ed on it, and not a word was spoken
by either until the coffin was raised
from the grave, and lay on tho green
smooth sward.
. "Shall I break it open?" whisper?
ed the sexton.
George nodded; but the first blow
of the pick on the shivering planks
made him start and shrink as though
it had fallen on his heart. More
than this-tho dull heavy sound had
aroused some dogs in tho neighbor?
hood, and their furious barkings
filled tho air.
Trembling in every limb, George
besought his companion to separate
the boards with the least possible
noise and violonoe. Tho old man
obeyed, and very soon tho body of
Clemence, clad only in her white
shroud, lay at the feet of him who
had violated the sanctity of tho grave,
that he might look yet onco again on
her face.
The sexton sat on tho brink of tho
grave, wiping the heavy drops from
his forehead, and looking at George,
who, almost as motionless as tho
dead, seemed to have lost all idea of
the purpose which had brought him
there. The grave-digger spoke to
him several times, without having
received any answer.
"For the love of Heaven, sir," he
said, at lost, in an agony of terror,
"look at the body, as you wished to
do. Somo one may come, and as it
is, we shall have day-break on us
before we can get her put back again,
and all mado right."
Still no reply from George; mid
the man, more terrified every mo?
ment, stretched out bis hand, and
snatched away the embroidored
kerchief which covered tho dead
face. The sight of that face, so
perfect in its marble purity and still?
ness, acted Uko magic. George fell
on his knees, and, raising tho dead
woman in his arms, supported the
icy head on his breast, and bending
over it, he poured forth in burning
words the love and despair that filled
bim. Memories of their happy past
came from his trembling lips, min?
gled with lamentations for tho ruin
of their hopes, and his own louely
and wretched future. His delirium,
so far from exhausting itself, seemed
to gain strength every moment, and
tho solitary spectator of this strange
scene became half frantic with anx?
iety and fear.
AU at once, liko a lightning-flush
through this storm of grief, came
the remembrance of tho last words
which those cold lips had whispered
to him. And in the frantic transporl
of a hope still more frantic, George
pressed tho dead form closer to him,
and kissed her lips again and again.
Then, with a sudden cry, be leaped
to his feet, throw one wild looL
uround, and fled with his prize.
Ho had already disappeared bellini
the tall tombs and tho masses ol
shrubs, before the sexton had strengt!
or presence of mind to follow; am
when tho old man lind reached th?
gates of tho enclosure, pursuit wa?
useless. Halting and breathless, ht
paused to look and listen, and sav
Goorge far away, rushing down tin
silent road, the white shroud of Clo
menee gleaming in tho moon-light.
"A bad night's work for me," ht
muttered. "One might as well fol
low a tiger with his proy."
And as nil the probable conse
quencos of what had been dono eua
crowding on his mind, now that h
regarded discovery as certain, b
thought it scarcely worth while t
take any trouble towards effacing th
marks of violonoe wiUtin tho church
yard, so convinced did he feel thu
the flying madman and his horrie
burden would ero long bo captured
and of course betray all. He se
down on the dewy ground, prostrat
with fatigue, and nearly deuperaU
but as sn hour or two passed withou
any further disturbance, and all wc
quiet as the dead who were ly in
around him, the old man began t
. - . - . ?. ?. - - -
-.-:-;-;-:
think that thora waa at least no use
in betraying himself ; discovery might
not como after all; and if it should:
he .would try what his word could do
against that of one who was certainly
insane; so, gathering himself up, he
returned to the grave, replaced the
broken coffin, filled up the grave,
and made all smooth and orderly
once more. The sun was high be?
fore he bad finished, but at length
all was done, and the sexton returned
to his solitary cottage, to await the
coarse of events.
It was the fifth anniversary of Cle?
mence's burial, and Monsieur de
Servios, according to his annual
custom, knelt beside the tomb which
he had erected to her memory. At
some distance, covertly watching
him, Btood the sexton, half remorse?
ful that the faithful mourner should
expend so much grief over an empty
grave, and half exultant that thc
secret had never transpired. A
slight noise aroused both Monsieui
de S8rvin8 and the grave-digger frone
their respective roveries, and. thej
saw a young and lovely woman, whose
long silken drapery brushing the
sward, had caused tho sound whicl
had attracted them. Themselvei
unseen by her, they watched bei
rapid approach. Monsieur do Ser
vins knelt for a moment ns if turnee
to stone, and then with a wild cry h<
leaped and rushed towards the lady
in whom, beyond all doubt, he re
cognized his lost and deeply mournec
wife. The lady started back at th?
sound, and at the sadden apparitiot
each stood motionless for a los.
space of time than suffices to recore
that they did so; but short as tin
time was, Monsieur de Servins no
only had from it the assurance tba
he looked on Clemence herself, bu
also that she recognized him. Whit
and wild with terror, she stood ai
instant, and then turned and fled
pursued by her husband, who wa
no match for her in fleetness am
lightness of foot. Ho only carno ii
sight of the gate in timo to see th
lady spring into a handsome carriage
which immediately dashed off at th
full speed of two fiery horses. Th
equipage was already out of sigl
before Monsieur de Servins roache
the entianoe; but there ho found hi
footman and coachman, who, havin
put his own carriage at an inn nc
far distant, had returned to awn
their master's pleasure. The me
had not failed to note the splendi
carriage of the strange lady, nor h<
own beauty, and they were ab
to give their master all the dotai
he needed respecting the horse
liveries and style of the whole thin)
which they declared to be evident)
quito now, and utterly unknown 1
thom; thoy added, that the servan
were negroes, and appeared not
understand French. Monsieur <
Servins, having possessed himself
this information, thought he cou
do nothing better than return ai
question the sexton; but tho latt
lay in convulsions on tho groun
and with tho assistance of the sc
vants, he was raised and carried
his house, a physician was sent fe
but in another hour tho man w
dead, without having had a mome
of consciousness.
Monsieur do Servins waited t
the fixed stillness of death had i
placed tho hideous contortions of t
final struggle, and then returned
Paris without further delay. He
onco sought his friend, tho lie
tenant-general of police, to whom
told his strange story, and bofe
night-fall, he was made awaro tl
the oarriage he had seen, was that
Monsieur do Garran, au o flin er hi
in repute for braver}', honor a
wealth, and who bael but quito
ceutly returned from India. N
day, there was an official examin?t:
of Clemence's grave, where I
empty and broken coffin gave
coloring of truth to n tale which
lieutenant-general had been inclii
to look on as a hallucination of
friend's deep and lasting grief.
Ou the day of the iuckiess r
contre, Madame Julie de Garron
young and most beautiful worn
whom George had married in Inc
returned from her daily drive ii
state of agitation which attracted
attention of her servants. Her i
inquiry was for her husband, n
finding that he was at home,
hurried to his apartment, where
remained for a long timo alone v
him. They re-appeared togetl
and though very pale, 6ho had n
vered her ordinary calm, and
fifteen days matters went on as us
This interval was employed by W
sieur de Servins to the host neb
tage; the unfortunate young
were surrounded by apies, and t
most insignificant words and act
were noted and reported.
The minister of war readily
nishod the date of George's re
from captivity, os well as that of
equally unlooked-for departure, i
afterwards. The postilion who
driven him to Brest on thin lost c
sion was hunted up, and cert
that the officer had beon acoompa
by a lady olosely veiled and witt]
up, who seemod to be a confir
invalid. Next came an examine
uf the poRMfnger list of the sh:
which George had sailed, and
chain of evidence seemed so
Serfect in every link. Monsiei
ervins, armed with these pr
. instituted a snit against Monsiet
Garran, and the very peculiar ni
i of the ease excited public intere
an extreme degree. The me
profession entered heart and sonl
into the question; one party wrote
pamphlets to prove that lethargy has
frequently simulated death to the
point of causing a still living person
to be buried ; while the other side as
warmly maintained that it was not
possible that h fe could be restored
after the body bad been buried for
fourteen hoars, as had been tho case
in this instance. Authorities were
consulted, and minute calculations
made, and each party maintained its
own viow of the case.
The first hearing of tho cause
brought Monsieur de Garran himself
before tho public He declared that
at tho first sight of his wife he had
been startled by ber strong resem?
blance to Mademoiselle de la Faille,
and even yet bo said it sometimes
struck bim forcibly, although not (he
added) to the point of making him
BO mad as to imagino that they could
possibly be one and tho samo. He
gave his words such an accent of
truth and reason, and so pointed his
speech by a pitying glance at his
excited opponent, that few doubted
that Monsieur de Survins had indeed
lost his reason, and felt sure that the
strange scene must end at once.
Nevertheless, the causo oame on
for henring before the Courts, and
Madame do Garran, who during the
preliminary steps had boen permitted
to remain in retirement, was com?
pelled to appear and answer the
questions put to her. On being con?
fronted with Monsieur de Servins,
she maintained the utmost compo?
sure ; consistent with the astonish?
ment she displayed at bis persisting
in his story, and the energy with
which she repudiated it. Monsiom
do la Faille, summoned from Tou?
louse, was quito overcome by a sight
of a woman so olosely resembling hit
lost child, and who yet so coldly de
nied all knowledge of him. The
perplexed judges looked at ead
other, while Madame de Garran quite
simply and calmly told tho story ol
her life. She had been born at Pou
dicherry, of parents of French ex
traction, Monsieur and Madame dc
Merval, who had left ber an orphui
while still a child. She had then bc
come the ward of a gentleman anc
lady of wealth and position, fron
whoso house sho had boen marriei
to Colonel de Garran. She had neve
been in France till she. accompauiec
her husband thither, aud in supper
of these statements she produced th
baptismal aud marriage certificates o
Mademoiselle Julie de Merval, a
well as several other papers and let
tors, which seemed to establish he
identity beyond dispute.
When she had finished, there wn
! but ono opinion, and that favorabl
to her and ber husband, in the mind
of hor judges. This day terminate
all the pleadings on both sides; br,
as the French are cautious in thei
legal proceedings, it was decide
that judgment should not be delii
ered for twenty-four hours, durin
which time all parties should bo kef
under strict surveillance. The solom
day of the final decision fouud a
assembled; a clear and rapid sun
mary of tho case was stated, and i
was evident that the balance <
opinion was strongly in favor of ri(
ding Monsieur and Madamo de Gai
ran of the singular persecution d
rected against thom.
At this juncture, Monsieur de Se
vins left the Court, and immediate!
returned, leading by the hand a beat
tiful child, seven years old. Madan
de Garran, screened by her advocat
Monsieur de Moizas, from tho eng
eyes of the audience, and still forth
shaded by the hand on which h
head rested, failed to notice tl
coming of her enemy; but all
once she felt a little soft hand cia;
hers, and a sweet, childish vol
said:
"Ah, mamma! doar mamma! w
you not kiss me?"
She started, looked wildly at tl
child which clung to her, and th?
she clasped it in her arms, ai
covered it with tears and kisses.
The wife and daughter had resist
successfully, but the mother betray
herself. From this moment, tl
proceedings took a new turn. Spea
lng for his clients, Monsieur
Moizas admitted that the dead ai
tho living woman were the san:
but, in tho name of the law, demat
cd the formal dissolution of t
hateful marriage; already annul!
by death.
"Do not," he said, addressi
Monsieur de Servins-"do not fl
the grave to restore to you the pr
whioh you so willingly resigned to
Leave the living, loving woman
him who, pursuing her into t
embrace of death, has restored 1:
to lifo and love; she belongs to h
alone. If, unfortunately, she shot
die before you, you might, w
some show of justice, press a cia
to her dead body, for that ak
belongs to yon."
The court of justice became a e
morous scene of jarring opinions a
feverish excitement; but when,
length, some semblance of quiet \
restored, it was decreed that, in th
days, Madame de Servins should
turn to her lawful husband.
Clemence, rising, confessed
truth, but, at the same time, deda
that her repugnance to Monsieur
Servins bad always been extrei
and that she could never live w
him as his wife. She implored p
mission to retire into a con vc
since she must leave the man wh
alone she could regard as her 1
band. But her prayer was refused,
and she returned, for the last time,
to her ruined home; where, during
the three days, she was to be olosejy
watched.
Monsieur de Servins, surrounded!
by his mos'? important relations,
awaited the return of his wife in the I
state saloon of his magnificent house.
At the specified hour, a carriage en?
tered the court, steps were heard,
and Madame de Servins was an?
nounced. A white figure entered
tho saloon; it was Clemence, clad in
the shroud in which she bad been
buried, and her face was oold and
whito as her drapery. She tottered
forwurd till she reached her husband,
and then fell at his feet.
"Take back that to which alone
yon have any right," she said, in a
scarcely intelligible voice.
They raised her, and tried to
bring back warmth and life, but this
time she was beyond the reach of
earthly aid. She and George bad
token poison before their dreadful
parting. George had been discovered
by his mother, but all her efforts
ouly sufficed to prolong his life till
the noxt day.
