the guest asked if be could be accommodated

’ The best morning, after broakfrat, the Monk
went with Baric tohiaahop, and examined with
much interest the yariouswcapqns therein.—
Rune questioned him closely as to whether he

evasively, and .after .muring thftt .in. case the gun

need a friend, that he might apply to bun, he
took his'leave.
Towards the mljldle of the afternoon, just as
Rorie had finished tempering some parts of a
gua-lotik, the back dpor of his abop was opened,
and'two men entered They were young men,
dressed in costly furs, and both \of them stout
and good-looking. The gonmaker recognized
thqm as the Count. Conrad Damonoff and bis
friend Stephen Unen.
*« I think I speak with Rorie UTeval,” said the
Count, moving forward.
“ Voa do," returned Raria, not at all sur

Boric entered the apartment. He walked quick
ly to where Rosalind had arisen to heir feet, and
taking one of her hands in both his own he
■poke. But the emotions of his soul became
calm at length, and then he received ;j ßosalind’s
promise that she Would never permtf her hand to
be disposed of to another by the Duke of Tula.
Rurio informed her of the visit of Count Da
monoff to his; shop, its purposes and the result.
Rosalind was astonished and alarmed. Still,
site could not believe ''that the Duke meant to
bestow her hand upon Bamonoff. The Duke
owed him money, she said, and might perhaps
be playing with the Count.
Ruric started as a new suspicion flashed
upon him. Had the Duke sent Bamonoff upon
that mission on purpose to get him into a
quarrel, “ Aye,” thought the youth to himself,
“The Duke knows that X have taught the
sword-play, and he knows that-the Count would
be no match for me. So he thinks in this sub
tle manner to make me an instrument for rid
ding him of a plague.” But the youth was
careful not to let. Rosalind know of this. He
thought she would be too unhappy if she kne w
that a duel was likely to come off between him- '
self and the count.
After some minutes of comparative silence,
Boric took leave of Rosalind, and was soon in'

and to'the barricks in the Bhitagor

And therehpom Boric related all that had oc

“ And the weapons f ” asked Baric.
“Swords,” returned Orsa. “The Count will

selecting such a one as you choose.” . :
“I thank yon, Orsa, for your kindness thns
far, and yon may rest assnred that I shall be
prompt.” - ■
“Suppose I call herein the morning for yoa?”
suggested the visitor. ;
“ I should be pleased to have yon do so,” the
gunmaker said; aud thus it was arranged.
On tho following moraing Kuriow'as up be

the one all-absorbing theme was uttered. Alter

An angry reply was upon Damonoff’s lips, but
he did not speak, it! He turned to his antago

“ Will yon measure weapons, sir I Mine may

and I have one here of the same length and

“ Then take your ground. Are yon ready T”
“ I am !”

with a clear, sharp clang.
