The
sentinel
who
was
relieved
at
six
o'clock
in
the
morning
,
remembered
perfectly
that
just
as
he
was
taking
his
post
a
few
minutes
past
four
a
young
man
arrived
on
horseback
,
with
a
little
boy
before
him
.
The
young
man
,
having
dismissed
the
boy
and
horse
,
knocked
at
the
door
of
the
hotel
,
which
was
opened
,
and
again
closed
after
his
entrance
.
This
late
arrival
had
attracted
much
suspicion
,
and
the
young
man
being
no
other
than
Andrea
,
the
commissary
and
gendarme
,
who
was
a
brigadier
,
directed
their
steps
towards
his
room
.
They
found
the
door
ajar
.
"
Oh
,
ho
,
"
said
the
brigadier
,
who
thoroughly
understood
the
trick
;
"
a
bad
sign
to
find
the
door
open
!
I
would
rather
find
it
triply
bolted
.
"
And
,
indeed
,
the
little
note
and
pin
upon
the
table
confirmed
,
or
rather
corroborated
,
the
sad
truth
.
Andrea
had
fled
.
We
say
corroborated
,
because
the
brigadier
was
too
experienced
to
be
convinced
by
a
single
proof
.
He
glanced
around
,
looked
in
the
bed
,
shook
the
curtains
,
opened
the
closets
,
and
finally
stopped
at
the
chimney
.
Andrea
had
taken
the
precaution
to
leave
no
traces
of
his
feet
in
the
ashes
,
but
still
it
was
an
outlet
,
and
in
this
light
was
not
to
be
passed
over
without
serious
investigation
.
The
brigadier
sent
for
some
sticks
and
straw
,
and
having
filled
the
chimney
with
them
,
set
a
light
to
it
.
The
fire
crackled
,
and
the
smoke
ascended
like
the
dull
vapor
from
a
volcano
;
but
still
no
prisoner
fell
down
,
as
they
expected
.
The
fact
was
,
that
Andrea
,
at
war
with
society
ever
since
his
youth
,
was
quite
as
deep
as
a
gendarme
,
even
though
he
were
advanced
to
the
rank
of
brigadier
,
and
quite
prepared
for
the
fire
,
he
had
climbed
out
on
the
roof
and
was
crouching
down
against
the
chimney-pots
.
At
one
time
he
thought
he
was
saved
,
for
he
heard
the
brigadier
exclaim
in
a
loud
voice
,
to
the
two
gendarmes
,
"
He
is
not
here
!
"
But
venturing
to
peep
,
he
perceived
that
the
latter
,
instead
of
retiring
,
as
might
have
been
reasonably
expected
upon
this
announcement
,
were
watching
with
increased
attention
.
It
was
now
his
turn
to
look
about
him
;
the
Hotel
de
Ville
,
a
massive
sixteenth
century
building
,
was
on
his
right
;
any
one
could
descend
from
the
openings
in
the
tower
,
and
examine
every
corner
of
the
roof
below
,
and
Andrea
expected
momentarily
to
see
the
head
of
a
gendarme
appear
at
one
of
these
openings
.
If
once
discovered
,
he
knew
he
would
be
lost
,
for
the
roof
afforded
no
chance
of
escape
;
he
therefore
resolved
to
descend
,
not
through
the
same
chimney
by
which
he
had
come
up
,
but
by
a
similar
one
conducting
to
another
room
.
He
looked
around
for
a
chimney
from
which
no
smoke
issued
,
and
having
reached
it
,
he
disappeared
through
the
orifice
without
being
seen
by
any
one
.
At
the
same
minute
,
one
of
the
little
windows
of
the
Hotel
de
Ville
was
thrown
open
,
and
the
head
of
a
gendarme
appeared
.
For
an
instant
it
remained
motionless
as
one
of
the
stone
decorations
of
the
building
,
then
after
a
long
sigh
of
disappointment
the
head
disappeared
.
The
brigadier
,
calm
and
dignified
as
the
law
he
represented
,
passed
through
the
crowd
,
without
answering
the
thousand
questions
addressed
to
him
,
and
re-entered
the
hotel
.
"
Well
?
"
asked
the
two
gendarmes
.
"
Well
,
my
boys
,
"
said
the
brigadier
,
"
the
brigand
must
really
have
escaped
early
this
morning
;
but
we
will
send
to
the
Villers
--
Coterets
and
Noyon
roads
,
and
search
the
forest
,
when
we
shall
catch
him
,
no
doubt
.
"
The
honorable
functionary
had
scarcely
expressed
himself
thus
,
in
that
intonation
which
is
peculiar
to
brigadiers
of
the
gendarmerie
,
when
a
loud
scream
,
accompanied
by
the
violent
ringing
of
a
bell
,
resounded
through
the
court
of
the
hotel
.
"
Ah
,
what
is
that
?
"
cried
the
brigadier
.
"
Some
traveller
seems
impatient
,
"
said
the
host
.
"
What
number
was
it
that
rang
?
"
"
Number
3
.
"
