Excerpt from Henry IV. And Marie De Medici, Vol. 2 of 2: Part II. Of the History of the Reign of Henry IV., King of France and Navarre, From Numerous Unpublished Sources, Including Ms. Documents in the Bibliothèque Impériale, and the Archives Du Royaume De France, Etc The day following the departure of the legate Henry went to hunt in the forest of Fontainebleau, and there, it was said, beheld the apparition of the famed Grand Veneur and his phantom hounds. The chase proceeded merrily; when at a spot where four forest paths met, the king was startled by a crashing Of branches, and by a blast of horns. Suddenly a pack of hounds in full cry, followed by one gigantic huntsman, dashed past the cortege, and disappeared amid the fastnesses of the forest. Henry commanded M. De Soissons to follow, and ascertain who the indi vidual was, daring enough to interrupt the royal pastime; his majesty not attaching credit to the mar vellons stories current concerning the spectral hunts man. Soissons presently returned, and tremblingly recounted, that as he was passing a brake of tangled briars and brushwood the gaunt form of the Grand Veneur sprang up before him. In hollow tones the phantom pronounced the mystic words: M'entendez nous; on m'attendez nous and vanished. The count described the figure as that of a man Of gigantic stature, clad in black habiliments, with eyes like fiery embersfl The king then returned to the palace; for as the story of this phantom of the Forest was profoundly believed on the testimony of the royal foresters, charcoal burners, and peasants of the district, no per sonage of the suite had heart or inclination to con tinne the sport.
