TELEGRAM FEUILLETON. MHE COUNTESS DE MONTE CRISTO. ‘ " CHAPTER I. ‘TUR THEE SHADOWS OF NOIRMONT. Many years ago Noirmont was known by the name of The Castle, and the remains of its thick walls can yet be traced {n the foundations of the manufactory built on the same site. Dark and sombre tales were circulated among the peasantry respecting these ruins, and after sundown many a bold heart preferred going round by Apreval, a distance of some two miles, rather than approach Eventually, however, & appeared on the scene who converted the remains of the ancient stronghold into a vast factory, whereby he not only enriched himself, but also the surrounding country, The water that had run idle in its | course for centuries was now employed to bring buge engines into motion—hundreds of hands were employed in ridding the fertile soil of its dense covering of wood. Within a comparative short space of time a marked improvement could be noticed in the hovels inhabited by the laborers, and an air of comfort rested on every face to be met with in the surrounding district, One man alone bad effected this change, and that was M. George de Rancogne, who had died about six months pre- vious to the commencement of this narrative, and was still deeply mourned for by his young widow. Ivislate in tho month of March. The night is dark and sad, The huge chimneys of the factory are amokeless, the water whecla are allent and the hammers no more cause the earth to tremble under their ponderous blows, The night reigns throughout the deserted buildings. The storm rages fearfully ‘and the red still by the prolonged howls of the large mastiff in the farm yard atiached to the factory wind alone scene is rendered more mournful At intervals, during a mo- mentary lull in the storm, the clatter of a horse's hoofs could be heard splashing torongh the liquid mire. Nearer to the castie, between the banks of a pond and the walls of the factory, the shadow of a man could be discerned walking to and fro. horse he stopped and listened. Onthe other side, in front of the garden railings, stood On perceiving the approach of the another shadow—that of @ woman, and she, too, evidently expected some one. Purther on, between the walls of ew factory and the NEW YORK: HERALD, SUNDAY, JANUARY 2, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET. gardens, could be seen the shadow of = lad of fifteen, whe scaled the partition wall so adeptiy that he was evidently ac- ‘customed to the work. Gh getting astride on the top of the wall he paused for an instant and appeared to be listening; then muttering, “Ah! nonsense, it must be the wind," he dropped on the other side. Yio was not far wrong, for at that moment two different sounds plerced the raging storm; d the othey the cry of an osprey, as if seeking to gain its neat through the piercing bias. ae On hearing this double signal both of the shadows left the shade of the wall. The woman advanced to meet a young man whose features were hidden under the broad brim of @ large hat, such as the Limousin peasants usually wear, and the man jumped into @ boat and silently crossed the pond ‘On the opposite alde stood a horseman, whose impatiente was evidently increased by thd inclemency of the weather, “Ab,” muttered the boatman; “so you are there at last, doctor. You will be wanied to-night; but first T want to speak to you. Yourhorse will be all right there under that shanty. Come along here, quick.” Both then got into the boat and crossed the pond sn the di- rection of the castle. On the other sido the fresh, clear ‘voice of a young girl could be heard inquiring— “In that you, M. Octavus?” And as be hesitated to reply she clasped his hand and continued:—“Madame hides noth- tng from me, and I would lay down my life for her. I would give my life for any one whom she loves.” She felt the hand that was enclosed in hers tremble, and the young man in a tremulous voice exclaimed, “For those she loves 7” ety “Madame was very sad,” said the young girl, gravely nodding her charming head; “and since receiving your note she has become almost joyful. You must love madame well, M Octavus, for she has suffered much.” ‘The gate closed upon them as Octavus followed bis cou- uctress towards the house, But when on the point of enter- ing M. Octavus, who was dressed in the garb of a farm yeborer, held her back, “Rose, many things have transpired at Noirmont since my duty forced me into exile. Imust know the details before entering into that room.” And with his finger he pointed to the rays of light that burst through the blinds of = room on the first floor. “Come here, then,” replied the young giri, drawing him towards the shade of the outhouses. Neither of them noticed that the tall shadow of aman aliently followed thetr steps, gliding silently along the fencing. “I am taking you by the worst and the longest path,” sald Rose, “but by going through the house we should have been ‘obliged to pass through madame’s apartments.” Octavus merely replied by # sign of approbation, and fol- lowed nis guide through a side door. The spy silently fol- lowed them. The two young people then entered a small room, faintly lighted by a lamp. ‘The room was narrow, and contained only » bed, # tableand alarge bor. A crucifix, surmounted by a green branch, was placed at the head of the bed, and » pot of flowers stood upon the table. “Madame is asleep;"" said Rose, “so we have plenty of time to chat.” Ara “Ociavas east a look sround the room and appeared struck by itsextreme simplicity and neatness. Rose remarked this and blushed. carat “This te my room,” she said. The young man threw down his large bat and showed = noble countenance, crowned with a profusion of curly locks. Rose smiled as she gazed upon his face, but still she looked as if she could weep. “] was very young when you left, but Ican distinctly re collect you.” “And 1 too, Rose,” eried Octavus,” “I recollect you; and, nfidence in you, for I initiate you as you see, I have every confi into a secret on which depends both life and honor.” He seized Rose's band, and she in turn pressed it to her heart. pre “The secret enclosed in there,” said she, “shall never pass my lips. Now, listen to what has passed in your brother's house since your departure."” On the outside the apy bad crept up the stairs and was close to the door—He carefully raised himself until his eye was on a level with the keyhole, Octavus stood right in front of it, ‘The spy uttered » stiffed ory—“It is he!”—and the two former occupants of the b 0 tion, “Ant” anid the doctor, trembling, etther from fear or cold; * ‘go it ia to-night?” His companion replied by a nod. “It i just time.” “Yes, Mr. Champion, but it isa bad busines.” “Tt may be a bad business, Doctor Totnon, but it is one that | at were soon in close conversa: s pays well.” “But bow about the other?” asked the doctor in a discou- | | raging tone, However he had searcely spoken the words before the ‘sound of s whistle penetrated the dense atmosphere, Cham- pion’s face became radiant with triumph. ‘The other,’ sald he; “the other? Why, there he 1s.’ CHAPTER II, THE FOUR LIGHTS. Four lights of a very different nature pierced the walls of Noirmont. LIGHT THE FIRST In a large room, wearing the appearance of a cooper’s workshop—it is occupied by a lad and an old man. Large as the apartment was, it appeared still more #o by the dim light of a candle, which was stuck in a piece of wood inserted In » crevice of the stonework above the fireplace, on the hearth of which were strewed the expiring embers of a wood fire. Barrels were piled up at the extremity of the room and stones were strewed about the floor. The old man was lyingona truckle bed, badly protected from the cold by some scanty covering, and the lad sits by ona block of wood, listening ‘with feverish attention tothe words spoken by the sick man. From time to time he raises himself and sways his withered of acorpse than of a living arto, that looks more like th being, He nervously snatches the cup tendered him by the boy, and, partially revived, he continues :— “Jone, the time has come. The moment of death is near.” “Come, Father Biassou—~ “Listen, Notreau ia howling at the moon; the light has been seen on the heights of Grandval, and all who love Ran- cogne will speak for twenty years to come of the events of this night.” Then, as if the fever caused a change of ideas, he ex- clamed:— ‘The continuation of this highly interesting story will be in the Evening Telegram, Mond: courts of different States; legal everywhere ; desertion, c., suflictont cause; no charge in advance, Advice free.
