"If we start now, we will be able to return to-night." "Then I shall order horses at once!" Simon went away, and the marquis remained behind thinking. No matter where he looked, the past, present and future were alike blue to him. The old marquis had died in 1817, and the vicomte had immediately set about to have the death of his brother, which had taken place at Leigoutte in 1814, confirmed.
"What did she say?" asked Caillette, while the "Burned Woman" clung to her. "Oh, she asked for bread, and then inquired the way to the Vosges." "Yes, to the Vosges," said the maniac, hastily. "But, mother, what should we do in the Vosges?" asked Caillette, in surprise. "To Leigoutte Leigoutte," repeated the maniac, urgently. "Leigoutte that is Fanfaro's home!" exclaimed the young girl, hastily.
"I know but one Marquis de Fongereues!" he said, slowly. "And who may that be?" asked the Marquis, bringing his closed hand down upon the table. "The son of the man who was murdered in 1815, in the village of Leigoutte!" answered Labarre, with perfect calmness. "Murdered! That man fell when fighting against the true masters of France!"
How many hopes were based upon a word, and how many disappointments followed! Finally, he determined to act on the last words of his dying master, and he went to Leigoutte.
The old woman shook her head, she did not know the name. "I mean Leigoutte is where Jacques came from." "Yes yes Jacques. I must save Jacques and the box!" What was going on in the impaired mind of Françoise?
It was the brother whom you hated. Your victim was dead and he married her sister, and later, when you set the Cossacks on the village of Leigoutte and bade them to kill women and children, there was one child named Jacques and that child was your son." Fongereues was deadly pale; large drops stood on his brow. "You lie!" cried the Marquis, "Fanfar was my brother's son."
He gave it free of charge to the poorest family in the village, with the condition that he be allowed to live there a few weeks each year. A schoolmaster was soon found in the person of a former sergeant, and as Pierre Labarre such was the name of the new owner undertook to look out for the teacher's salary, the inhabitants of Leigoutte had every reason to be thankful to him.
Fanfar's sudden appearance had carried her memory back to the last interview she had with Simon, when, our readers will remember, he had given his wife the papers that proved his birth and that of Jacques. And now Françoise had but one idea, to return to Leigoutte. In vain did Caillette urge her to return to Paris, and the girl had promised Fanfar not to leave his mother.
"Talizac! Oh! the base, cruel man. Quick! we cannot stay here. I must save Francine and Jacques. Oh! my box where is my box?" My readers must now learn how Françoise and Caillette found themselves at Leigoutte.
"You will admit," he said, "that I do not easily become a prey to illusions, but the truth is, that I am greatly disturbed by something that has happened. Will you answer a few questions?" "Certainly, my boy any questions." "You know, my second father, the strange accident by which I was thrown in your way. You have told me of the researches you made in the village of Leigoutte.
