The sudden death iu the heu.se of the ceru merchant, Otte Markliu, caused a great scusatieu in the town of Nenucn- burg, aud, for a long time, conversation among its geed pcepU turned en no ether topic, than the wonderful chance, that a cheerful woman, in full health, should have been caused te destroy her own life, through a mcre freak of the imagination. Rut. hew could it be otherwise? Ged for bid ! If any one had been in her room he musthave stolen iu for purposes of rob bery. Yet none of her possessions were missing. A roll of money, and several bank notes lying loose in her chest-ef-drawcrs even some geld aud silver ves sels that had been thrown out of another chest, were all there. The disorder reign ing in the room, was attributed te the haste iu which, according te the maid, the unfertunate woman had made her toilette the arras deer might have been left open by herself, as in the room te which it led, there was a large mirror, reaching te the fleer. The judicial examination of the body had discovered nothing suspicious. The death must be ascribed te some fatal accident, since ue traces of a crime were detected ; there was ue motive for the com mission of a murder, therefore no meas ures were taken for any such inquiry. Se matters steed, aud se they remained, al though the case had fallen into the bauds of a man, a detective with his whole soul, whose acute penetrative powers had never yet failed te discover the peiut of attack in a deeply hidden crime. lie had at once tested tlie matter upon the very spot, and, in spite of his rising suspicions, had been obliged te proneuuee the deed an unlucky accident, since there was nothing in any way, te warrant a diiiercnt conclusion. Yet he resolved, nevertheless, te keep an cye upon the Markliu house, and te watch, though secretly and in ambush, all that should transpire there, iu constant expec tation of some event that might threw light upon the mysterious atlalr. The lengthened absence of the seu Felix, was the first thing that struck him, aud awak ened his wender: it might be a chance one, as he was said te have left town the day before the fatal event. But the reputation of the young man justified his secret sus picion, that this absence might furnish a deeply hidden clue te the mystery. It was about this period that Counseller Berglaud one day confided te him his own suspicions, that seemed te De justified, iu a certain degree, by all the concurring cir cumstances. A light iu deep darkness biust upon the magistrate at this confi dence. Iu a moment the idea dawned upon him, that he steed here face te face with a piece of far-reaching villany of which peer Madame Spalding had becu the victim. First of all, it must be ascer tained whether a letter from the Residence had ever been received at the Markliu house, that could possibly be regarded as a notification of seme occurring advantage. Then it was first deemed advisable te question the father who had hitherto been devoid of suspicion. The inquiries must be carried en in private, for the liener of a family irreproachable until new was iu question. At that period when in Prussia the public administration of justice was nevcr thought of, the preliminaries te an investigation, were always veiled in secrecy, aud it belonged te the tactics of the magistrate te take the criminal by sur prise, aud confront him at an unexpected moment, with the proofs of his criminal ity. When the light of knowledge had ence dawned upon the detective's mind, he recalled a circumstance in the "deposition of the maid-servant, when she was ques tioned as te thb details of the frightful accident. She had declared that she had at first believed the young gentleman must have stolen in up there, because Madame had scolded aud screamed se loudly. At the magistrate question as te hew he was te understand that, she had related, in some embarrassment, that for some weeks madame had been quarrelling with the young gentleman. That the first quarrel had taken place about a letter envelope which had disappeared. Madame had afterwards hinted that she knew very well where this envelope was, aud that she should knew in what manuer.'te avail herself of it, if llerr Felix should carry his stupid pranks tee far. This recollection reused his suspicious, aud he determined first of all te institute a search in the house, or mere properly speakiug a room in the Markliu house. Going cautiously te work he obtained entrance into the mansion, and with special gravity, bade the girl who knew him well, te announce te her master, that he was obliged te inspect, ence mere, the room of the deceased Madame Spalding, and leisurely mounted the staircase. The girl hastened after him with -the keys of the room and of its furniture. "Whilst unlocking she told him that she had re-arranged and locked up the movables under the inspec tion of the old gentleman, se that the rol rel ativcft.and heirs of madame might find every thing in order. A smile from the magistrate aud his clerk was the only reply ; they knew themselves about te show no respect te this order. Whilst the clerk placed himself at the escritoire, and by order of his superior, examined every scrap of paper, the mag istrate turned towards a set of bookshelves that hung ever the bureau, aud that con tained a number of finely bound volumes, lie looked them ever hastily. Seme of Walter Scott's work seme of Zeschke's several old books for the pocket a hymn book aud an old well-worn book iu a case. The magistrate took the latter from its place ou the shelf and drew it from the case. It proved te be a Bible, lie opened it carefully aud turned ever the leaves. A most agreeable surprise lighted up his grave countenance, as turning te the busy clerk, he exclaimed, "Give yourself no further trouble, I have found what I wanted." He took the book, as he had picked it up, placed it under his arm, and went te the counting room, where Otte Markliu was sitting at his writing desk, and pro ceeded at once te demand the required ex planation concerning ths envelope. Hen Hen Otte Marklin rose politely, though with little friendliness. The necessary legal inter ference with the events that had occurred in his house vexed him greatly and he in wardly cursed the unlucky accident which had exposed him te se mauy annoyances. Yet his aspect bore no traces of wonder, but with the greatest apathy he heard the magistrate announce that, wishing te ob tain further information in regard te cer tain matters, he thought it well te take a deposition en the spot. A silent bend of the head, en the part of the old gentle man, was ali the reply he received. After the usual preliminary questions, which Herr Marklin answered witli a smile of astonishment, fhc magistrate suddenly opened the Bible, took out the envelope from its place of concealment, laid it be fore him without further preamble, aud asked whether he might recognize the en velope. Herr Marklin goed-naturedly examined it en all sides and then replied, "Yes, yes it must be the envelope of a letter sent me by a.crazy woman." The magistrate started. " De you re member the contents of that letter, or perhaps you have it at hand ?" ' "Ne, I have it no longer, and I remem ber only se much of its purport, that the lady wrote te declare her wish of dis charging a debt due te me, before she could die. I, however, knew nothing of such a debt, nor even the lady's name ; it appeared te me te have been written by a maniac." "vYeu took no steps, te inform yourself in regard te this letter?" "Ne, at first uiy seu wished te try his luck te make a journey te the Residence but he never get se far, he stuck fast en the way." " What de you mean te say by that ?" Herr Markliu laughed geed humercdly. " My seu is a spendthrift ; he set out for the Residence, met, half-way. with seme jovial companions, drank aud gambled away net only all the money for his jour ney, but even his trunk, aud then came dejectedly home." " Without having bceu at the Resi dence ?" " Are you quite ccitaiuef that '.'" " Why, yes, for he was here again al most before you could leek round. People cannot fly aud he would have been obliged te ride by steam, as they are beginning te de iu England." " Yeu knew net what a man may ren der possible. Hew long was he absent ?" New the old gentleman began te sus pect that something might have happened te implicate his seu ; his ceuutenauce grew sullen, his manner rude. "What de I kuew about it ? Net two days. AVhy de you ask ?" The magistrate, pretending net te uotice the change, returned te the charge, "Where is your son uew? He has been abroad for some time ?" " Yes, that is se, he has undertaken an agcucy. I de net kuew where he is at preseut ?" " Where was he at the date of your hist letter from him." "I have, as yet? received none. Te what cud all this letter writing ? Be at case, he will seen return home ; he shall then give you the history of his traveling adventures te a hair" " Yeu are convinced that he gambled away his trunk?" " Yes, quite certain ! It would be just like my son te gamble away the very coat ou his back, when once the mad fever of play has seized upon him." The magistrate, after several further im material questions made his compliments and left the house, carrying with him the Bible that held the hidden envelope. He had new recognized that in Herr Felix he would have te deal with a crafty aud thoroughbred knave, he was new con vinced that the butler who had been in quiring feira fair coinplexiencd gentleman who had left his trunk behind and disap peared without a trace would recognize this fugitive iu Felix Markliu. But where was he new te be found ? Pursue him with warrants ? that would net de tee little was certain for that nothing had yet been proved. The conclusion was near, that the very fact of nothing having been stolen, pointed te the suspicion of a double crime. Te verify this terrible sus picion a motive for the deed must be found. The probability of a connection between the two crimes dawned upon the magistrate ; he had the idea that Felix Markliu had endeavored te find and destroy the envelope that might lead te a detection of the imposition of which he was guilty ; that in furious rase at the frus tration of his well-laid plans, he had struck down Madame Spalding with her own knife ; and he was obliged te leek upeu the discovery of this cr.vclepc as one of these wonderful chances that se often place into the hands of justice, the warrant for a criminal prosecution. The magis trate did net conceal from himself-tuat great precaution must be observed in order te profit rightly from this strange chance. The evident cunning with which the yeuug transgressor had everywhere treue te work rendered it difficult te attack him epculy. It was necessary above all things te obtain possession of him, for at a word of warning from his father Felix might escape beyond the sea, nevermore te return. Fer the moment nothing mere could be done than te adept precautionary measures. The chief of police was or dered te set a private watch at the Mark liu house ; this measure proved se far use ful as provide the information that Felix was at Dresden. This fact was net com municated te his father in writing, but by a verbal message another proof of his cunning. It was sufficient for the magis tratc te kuew where te fiud the young man whofe arrest he was endeavoring te bring about. He was meanwhile operating with efficiency te secure this end. By requisitions he seen found himself in pos session of various proofs, calculated te place his identity with the fair complcx cemplcx complcx iened gentleman beyond dispute, The trunk iu question was brought from the Residence and delivered ever te the court. Witnesses deposed that the contents of this truuk were the property of Felix Marklin. The butler was examined en oath, as te the possibility of his reaching Nenncnburg from the Residence by extra pest in the time asserted. Jean, tha servant of Fran veu Haidck declared that he had conducted the fair coinplexiencd gentleman te his mistress at abeut-thc hour of neon. The state counseller had acknowledged the di rection ou the envelope te be the hand writing of the deceased lady, also the im pression ou the seal, as the coat-of-arras of the Haidck family. He had moreover premised te scud ever the letter itself, ,"iu case it became necessary for the convic tion of the imposter. Nothing was waut iug te complete the array of proofs, save the presence of the yeuug mau himself. Aud new, his arrest was te be accomplished at any cost. Thus, however, could uet be ef fected without a resort te vielcntjnicasurcs aud bcfolVeemmenciug the work in earnest Hofrath Marklin would have te be made cognizant of the romantic adventure of his namesake. During these last week, tee, (Jletilde had quietly become the wife of Counseller Bcrgland,and Elsbcth had relinquished her pest as lady of honor te her sister. The young girl sat at the window of her mod est home, as was her usual custom, quiet and content, but whether as happy was questionable. Her dreamy gaze was fixed en the flying clouds, and her voice rang sweeter and lovelier, when she spoke of Kune, her father's amiable cousin. In con versation with her mother she loved te dwell upon the remembrance of the time he had passed among them ; aud she con fidently hoped that he would repeat his visit. Her brother's letter strengthened the impression made by Kune ou her young untouched heart. Her brother wrote that Kune had sought him out, and that, in spite of their diilercnt views of life, they had become close and firm friends. The defiant, wrathful pride of their father had given way ; he often spoke, though guard edly, in his domestic circle of bis relation ship with the Haidek 'family, and the events of his youthful life in the Haidek house, butdeelared, that, notwithstanding the late reconeiliatioa with his cousin Kune. he should adhere te his former res elutien of avoiding oil intercourse with the family. ' " Vows, sueh as I imposed upon myself, at the period when I disowned them, can be set aside by nothing. Yeu, my dear ones, are net involved in this .sacred tow of renunciation, therefore you may claim your rights as heirs of your grandmother. I will defer te the opinion of my son-in- law, the .counseller, r will' net oppose your decisions. Fer.mjself, I can aceept nothing new, or in future, from these who did me the greatest injury in life, who trampled under feet my youthful pride, by the reproach, that my education, my whele existence, in short, were simply favors conferred upon me for my mother's sake." The bitter smile that distorte I his ceun tenance at these recollections seen van ished, when his grieving wife, with an anxious glance at bis face, stretched out her hand te bixa." A glcim of heartfelt satisfaction, banished, in a moment, the heavy cloud from his brew. "Ged or dained that I should find a geed true heart, and a position in life that cempen sated me for the miserable experiences el ine past, iierc, en your metner s meucsc estate, I found power te order anew my disturbed career. Te your mother I ewe my earthly salvation te her I ewe the bliss of being honored by my children and by the world. May, Heaven reward your mother for her faithful patient love ! And wherever fate may ordain your posi tion in life, I shall never fellow you in your career I have taken root iu this quiet little home I scorn the splendor, the rank and cminehce that might be mine by right of birth." The solemn pause that followed this out burst showed plainly that all, even the counseller, were in perfect accord with the Hofrath. They had learned from the present Kune, the painful cvents of the llefrath's youth, and, if the reverential, leve and tenderness with which they re garded him could have beeu increased, it would have been doubled by the knowl edge of the hard fate, he had no way de served. Elsbcth was moved by contradic tory feeliugs at this communication. She did net for a moment doubt that her father was in the right, but she felt seme pain at the prospcet of a continued es trangement from her grandmother's family in spite of every atonement. Must net her brother be deemed fortunate iu being allowed te become intimate iu the circle te which he belonged, by birth, and by the ordinance of Ged. But she kept wi' hiu bounds" the illusions of her lively fancy. She was tee sensible te wish for the roiiewal of a momentous conflict ; therefore she sought te destroy the germs of this mental discord and. te ban ish the dangerous seductive images throng ing upon her mind. While Elsbcth was giving herself up te these conflicting sentiments the counsel ceunsel counsel eor, emboldened by his lately-wen filial rights, was considering whether the pres ent opportunity might net be iftveraule for revealing te the Hofrath the secret of the Fran von llaidek'a letter, with all its consequences. Following the impulse of the moment, he explained te the llefratb, with great brevity, what and hew things had ceme te pass. Nothing was kept back from him ; neither the suspicion that had fallen upon his son, nor his daughter Elsie's appeal te the counseller for aid ; neither the adventurous knavery of an unknown individual, nor the grounds of suspicion against Felix Marklin, living opposite the church-place. Contrary te all expectations this relation made less impression en him than had been feared. The greatest and most disagreeable sur prise pcparcd for him seemed te arise from the fact that his deceased uncle's late wife must have written te him before her death. He regarded it as 'an efleucc. that she had known se little hew te esti mate him, after a long and eventful life, "otherwise she could net have expected te see me at her house," he said hotly and iu justifiable anger. Several minutes elapsed before his ex citement could be allayed. After pacing through the room for some time he re joined the circle with a composed, icy de meanor, saying : "It is my firm convic tion that no ether than Felix Markliu has carried out this treacherous' imposition, and it is my most earnest wish that every thing iu the power of the criminal court may be done te arrest and call this man te account for his deeds." ' I can premise that your wish will seen be gratified. The prosecution is placed in the best hands. Everything is prepared, the web of circumstances is per fectly woven, and the malefactor will be quickly entangled in its meshes whenever he is taken. The proofs of his identity arc arranged according te plan." " And why this delay in arresting him where he new keeps himself V" asked the Hofrath, with involuntary excitement. " In order te afford him neither time nor opportunity te escape te contrive crafty explanations. The judge will seek te overwhelm him with the whole weight of proof, and thus cut him off from every pretext," returned the counseller, sooth ingly. "Precautions have been taken, that swift as lightning, the conviction will fol fel low upon proof. Even the servant Jean, new in the service of Kune von Haidek, will be present te identify the mau whom he had introduced te his mistress." " Se," said the Hofrath coldly, and with the least possible grain 6f humor, "that is then, possibly, the reason why Kune, in his letter of te-day, intimates, in a most mysterious tone, his intention of paying me a speedy visit." Elsbeth's heart beat high at these words her father threw a strange glance upon her glowing face, and then- remarked coldly and abruptly. "Fer the rest, I give you notice, my dear son-in-law, that I wish, and will knew bow te keep person ally aloof from the whole business. I have nothing whatever te de with this tis sue of deception. I wish for the detection and punishment of the wrong-deer, only because he has misused my name, all the ( rest is ue concern of mine." Concluded next week. Anether Candidate.
