The next day" when Max rode to j the
Ferme des Anges to repeat his visits he
was; acoompanied by his servant, Hartig
having flatly refused to venture a second
time into ‘Castle Dangerous.’ Nor
would Sontheimor Merwlg, who had leas
hed him unmercifully after Hartig’sreca-
pitulatioD of their visit to, the Ferine.
Their jests fell heedlessly upon our hero,
who decided to go alone, accompanied
only by his aemnt to whom Hartig had
loaned his horse. It was a cloudy day ;
rain had fallen during the night, and it
bad only partially cleared ; in the bn>ad
valley of the Meuse which lay beneath
Max’s view, hung heavy fall-like mists.
XJponthe forehead of the young officer
the clouds seemed to have left their im
press ; his brows were drawn as if an in
ward struggle was raging in bis breast, as
he rode slowly toward the Ferine des
Anges. *
Arrived there he found that they had
not expected him owing to the weather.
The ladies were in the salon; Valentine
was busily writing while Miss Ellen sat
at a distant table pouring over house hold
accounts. Sbe seemed to attend to the
management of the household as well as
do the honors of the Ferme.
Mods. d’Avelon had gone over to the
“forges’* of Rubrai on business. Max
learned later that the “forges” were ex
tensive iron works, ahd belonged to the
Givres domain—the property of Gaston
dc Ribeanpierre’s mother.
"You are carious to test the oracle of
the old Druid lake,” said Valentine greet
ing him cordially. “We feared the weath
er would prevent your coming."
She was looking entrancingly lovely,
and her frank cordiality, which'elicited a
glance of surprised approval from Miss
Ellen, recalled Hartig’s admonitions.
“The weather it rather disagreeable,”
returned Max smiling, “too much so I
fear, to expect ladies to take a promenade
over wet grass—l should have consider
ed—”
“Oh no—we are qnite ready to go—”
“We had better wait awhile,” inter
rupted Miss Ellen in her turn, frowning
at Valentine. “I think those black clouds
portend another shower.”
“As you please, Ellen ; and to pass the
intervening time we can test the German,
instead of the ancient G illic oracle,” said
Valentine jestingly as she motioned him
to a seat.
“Do I resemble an oracle ?” asked Max
seating himself.
“All gentlemen impress us as such
when they are instructive.”
“You mean only those who think they
are capable of instructing their fair sis
ters ? You certainly do not class me with
such* pedants—rather to those who be
lieve they can learn what is best from
your sex.”*
“What do you term ‘best’ —how to
please ?"
“Oh no indeed! only your French
thmigbtlesness would have dictated that
My German seriousness answers: how to
suffer?”
“Do you call that the ‘best ?’ ”
“It is the most necessary at all events,
I
in this life. 1 Varl de tivre e'eit satoir
Muff nr i one of your authors baa written.”
“Do the sterner sec learn this from us.”
“Yes, and you employ a very natural
method of imparting your instruction—a
method similar to that which teaches
young ducks and swans to swim. They
are simply cast into the water by their
mothers.”
Valentine laughed merrily. “That
method requires an illustration,” she said.
“It is not palpable enough ? A fair sis
ter crosses our heretofore monotonous or
bit, and awakens within us a slumbering
passion—the pain, is there and we must
how to bear it—how to swim in the new
element. If we think we will sink, that
we cannot bear up, no assistance being of
fered of coarse we struggle and learn to
swim—figuratively.”
“Very ingeniously illustrated," return
ed Valentine a little mockingly. “You
inusl not forget, however, that we women
have much to learn from your sex—above
all to mistrust y<mr flowery speeches.”
Mas retorted, and the conversation
continued in a jesting vein until they for,
got the object of Max's visit. Nor was
the Maid’s grotto to be thought of, for it
began to rain, and soon after the noise of
wheels was heard in the court.
“Father!” exclaimed Valentine spring
ing to her feet, and hastening to meet
him.
“It is Mons. d’Avelon and Mons. Gas
ton —Valentine’s betrothed,” said Miss
Ellen casting a side glance at Mas as she
added the last words.
She had the satisfaction of seeing Max’s
face flush; slightly it is true, bat faint as
it was she ditected it.
“Mons. de Ribeaupierre is Fraulein Val
entine’s betrothed?" he aid in a forced,
tone.
“It is very probable,” returned Miss El
len, “because they have been pledged' to
each other since their childhood; and one
might say their betrothal would be a nat
ural consequence, since Gaston inherits
Givres which joins the Ferae desAugcs
—and Mods. d’Avel m has no other chil
dren.”
“Ah! what a nicely arranged affair!
the hearts are as closely united as the es
tates, I presume?”
“Why should tiny not be since they
grew up with a united future In their
minds. They would sot only establish
their own happiness hot that of their pa
rents also, for Mona. d’Avelon desires the
onion as earnestly as Madame de Riheao
plerre.” . ' K;'-
. /Then il such is the case why do yon
siy it is very probable f* d
“Be—cause,” she retained hesitatingly,
“Valentine obstinately persists in her
'•' ‘ - y'p.- '• • -
whim of not betrothing herself untllshe
ia of age.”
"Ah!” Max bit bis Ups, and Miss El
len ought, .to her farther satisfaction, have
seen his brow darken had not heratten
tion been attracted .by the entrance of the
two gentlemen and Valentine.
Mohs. d’Avelon welcomed his visitor
with the same cordiality he had shown
the day before; Gaston on the contrary
bowed stiffly. A
Max noticed something like embarrass
ment, or rather distress in Valentine’s
face; and as he turned to answer Mons.
d’Avelon he saw Gaston hurriedly whis
per a few words in her ear, then the two
retired into an embrasure of the window,,
where they continned the tete-a-tete which
was seemingly of do tender purport.
Were they quarreling. To Max it
seemed likely, though it might be that
Gaston also had important news to relate,
as Mons. d’Avelon seemed to have bought
a considerable share from Givres.
Dispatches from the seat of war; of a
victorious assault against the besiegers by
the Prussians: of a great naval victory
by the French at the mouth of the Elbe ;
in consequence of which Hamburg was in
flames—all of which Max was able to
prove entirely false.
“Yes, yes, sol told you before I” ex
claimed Mons. d’Avelon, “it is a war of
men against children; so or' coarse the
children must console themselves with
fables. Do you hear, Gaston he cried
“all the reports we heard in Glvre are
false-mere inventions.”
Gaston approached, his face malignant
in its dark anger, as he almost hissed :
“Then if the reports are me re fabrica
tions they have one advantage—we can
hope to see our honored guests so much
the longer in onr midst!”
The malicious smile as he finished this
covert sneer roused Max’s blood, |>ut he
conquered the passion and returned
calmly:
“You must not find fault with our be
ing here, Mods, de Ribeaupierre—we did
not come uninvited.”
“I disagree with you there.”
“Of course you do; when one chooses
to disagree—but we will not give vent to
our disagreement since we meet,on neu
tral ground.”
“That this is neutral ground must be
acknowledged by both sides—neither
party has the right to decide for the oth
er,” returned Gaston in a challenging,
contemptuous tone.
Max had foreseen the Frenchman’s in
tention to draw him into a quarrel, but
was rfbl prepared for the rapid advance
ment of what that gentlemen evidently
desired. For an instant he gazed fixedly
into the heated face of the young man; in
a moment his resolve was taken and in a
contemptuous tone retorted :
“Good manners, I think, compel us to
acknowledge neutral ground.”
“German manners are no criterion for
us.”
“They should be when French courtesy
is insufficient.”
“Do you object to ‘French courtesy ?’ ”
sarcastically.
“Not as much as I do to the French
weather * which prevented our intended
excursion to the grotto. The ladies, at
all events, think it tpo damp—so perhaps
you will act as guide, Mods. Riheau*
pierre ?”
Gaston, who evidently understood
Max’s significant invitation, answered
hastily ;
“Yes, certainly! We will see if the road
is as bad as the ladies fear—come !” and
turning he led Max through the glass
door leading to the terrace, while Mods.
d’Avelon stared after them in speechless
bewilderment.
Valentine at this moment sprang hur
riedly to his side and in a frightened whis
per exclaimed; “Follow them, father! I
beg of you follow them !”
“Hm, y»u don’t suppose— ?”
“Yes, yes—Gaston is so hasty and bates
the Germans so fearfully—you know how
angry he ip 3 because this officer was
here again.”
“Bat I’m sure I invited him ;he is
agreeable—”
“Oh hasten, father!—lose no time—go
and separate them before it is too late !”
she interrupted frantically.
Mons. d’Avelon took the hat Miss El
len brought just then —even her expres
sionless features betrayed alarm—aud
dashing it over his eyes and ran out of the
room. When he reached the courtyard
he saw them just emerging fmitf the
south gale leading to the hill. He called
loudly, but they semed to ignore bis call
and accelerated their footsteos.
“Let them go—to the devil if they want
to!” he growled panting for breath. “I
can’t watch over them likea nurse over
a pair of naughty children. If they’re
determined on breaking their heads they
*ill[do it sooner or lates!” and muttering
angrily he turned and walkjed toward the
stabiles.
AsMax and Gaston left the avenue and
begU to ascend the hill the former be
gan:
“I know very well, Hons.de Ribeaa
pierre, that you by this chal
lenge to prevent my return to the Ferae-
Let me tell you that your wish will not
be fuelled—l shall return in any case.”
‘iTruly s—l must confess that yon pos-

honorable gentlemen; -and 1 trait yon
with asecretwincb, should it ever pass
your lips, will bring'sorrow and shame to
a family for which yon have a great re
gard—but enough; your indiscretion
would be infamous, so I will speak with
out demanding any assurance of secrecy
on your part,” '.
: “Heavens! What a mysterious peroral
tion !” exclaimed Gaston shrugging bis
shoulders.
“It was necessary,” returned Max short-
“Listen; I told you that a quarrel
with yon would hot prevent my visiting
the Ferine des Augea It Is truer! for I
have as mncb—if not more right here
than Moos. d’Avelon, or. rather Herr Yon
Daveland, who is accountable to me for
every larthinghe has.” v . ■«.
Gaston halted suddenly and stared a|
the speaker in unbounded surprise.
“It is as I tell you,’* resumed Max, quit
etly; but do not imagine that lam here
to demand an account of him—not by
any means; for Herr d’Avelon is my un
cle, the brother of my dead .father, and
Valentine is my cousin.”
“Ah—still better !” mattered Gaston
sarcastically. “It is very singular though,
that Herr d’Avelon does not seem to wish
to acknowledge the relationship—or have
you cause to conceal it from him ?”
“1 have—l have excellent reasons for
concealment! 1 should not have come to
this place a guest to-day had not my cous
in impressed me with the other impossi
bility of carrying out a design, whose end'
was not a peaceful,reconciliation of two
conflicting interests—”
“In a word: ail this preamble, means
that you intend to sue for Valentine’s
hand ?”
“Ido!”
"Peste /” exclaimed the Frenchman
with rage inflamed face;„“your cool decla
ration is remarkably unique—particular
ly to her betrothed.”
“You have not attained that position.
1 know that Valentine has not yet con
sented to your bearing that relation pub
licly,” returned Max coolly.
“Then you mean to demand her band
on the strength of 1 your assserted claim •
Tour do not imagine how very absurdly
your naively asserted claim to the Ferme
des Auges strikes me ; but your ;Gennan
fancy so happily sustains; yon, that you.
innocently imagine yosr nicely planned
scheme will succeed without • further
trouble. How do you mean to prdte
your singular claim to the Mona d’Ave
lon’st estate? If you laid such proofs
would you have trusted me, above all oth
ers, with your secret?”he asked ironi
cally
“My proofs are simple and 1 submit
them to you in preference to any other,
because I have very good reasons for do
ing so—l trust I may never have to sob*
mit them to any one else—listen r When
my grandfather died he left a considera
ble fortune; a large estate which, accord*
ing to the law of primogeniture, was tbe
heritage of tbe eldest son—my father ;
and tbe family jewels—among them my
grandmother’s diamonds, which feli to
my father’s young wife. These jewels
were invaluable in our eyes; they were
the savings of several generations; for in
ancient times families coaid not invest
their surplus funds in bonds or stories,
for these were very few; nor in mort
gages, for the land was held by
wealthy and frngal gentle folks or by
serfs, who were prohibited from contract
ing debts. There were no communica
tions with banks in larger cities, so tbe
surplus, funds were invested, sometimes
in gold or silver plates, sometimes in dia
monds, to increase the family jewels—tbe
heritage of the eldest son. Those of our
family were valued at about fifty thous
and dollars—” t
“Well—let us come to tbe point,” in
terrupted Gaston impatiently.
“WlieD my father took possession of
his inheritance the jewels had disappear
ed," resumed Max in a quiet lone. “But
their loss was by no jneans a mystery.
They disappeared with: my father’s
younger brother, who was a wild, obsti
nate and passionate young fellow, destin
ed for the army, from which he bad been
dismissed after a few years’ service, for
quarreling wllh a superior ; and at the
lime of my grandfather s death was with
occupation living with his, parents.
After the funeral it was found he had dis
appeared as had also the jewels—that he
had taken them was not to be doubled,
f»rhe confessed the theft in a letter he
left for my father. This letter was short,
angry, and fall of insults ; he wrote:
“The law—or rather a cursed injust Ice,
gives you eveiythiug, houses, lands—all,
even the leaves in the forests ; and to me
nothing bat the permission to exist be
neath your roof upon a pitiful rental, and
the felicity of beholding your progeny
multiply. May our ancestors, who
such infamous laws repent of it is hell I
which would give me little satisfaction
here, sol mean to have a better. I leave

“Is the similarity between the names

“By no beans. I recognized a ring ■on
Valentine’* hand, a heart shaped diamond
over, which three small rabies are set] in
auch a manner as to represent aJUmiiig
heart. When a boy, this ring was de
scribed to me more than a dozen times by
an aunt who regretted its loss more than
all the rest, because it bad: been presented
to my grandmother by a (leiebrated prin
cess who died more than jja century ago.
I observed further, that Hons. d’Avelon
betrayed the utmost confusion when 1 lie
read my name on the card yesterday, and
to hide this confusion he hastily left ;tbe
terrace; when he returned, he asked la a
voice which betrayed his agitation, spite
ot its seeming indifference, concerning
my nativity. I gave him a false account
to calm him.. Again, I noticed a written
paper onValentlne’s desk-*-the characters
are the same as those in the letter I told
you of.” I !■
Gaston was silent for several moments;
then In a voice, whose attempt at sarcasm
did not conceal his uneasiness, asked :■{ I
! “Is tbis the first time you d iseovered
your lost uncle?" accenting the last word.
“Why do you ask .
“Oh I did not but what you
(might have beendecelved more than once
in discovering diamond thieves in inno
cent persons.” I I
“Then you do not believe me ?” i
“No, Ido not. But suppose I did; Sup
pose you were right whatj then ? Would
you do what your father |was I too gener
ous, too noble to do ? Would! you think
II your duty to punish your father’s broth
er for taking what was justly his own I but
which an infamous law gdve to his broth
er? Would you,> presuming on your
right, demand Valentine~for perhaps lhe
diamond’s which he no doubt has dispos
ed of Jong ago ?”
“Had 1 intended any of these I should
■certainly not have sought this interview
with yon, Mons. de Rlbeaupierre. But
let me proceed for you have not board me
out. My father, as you observed, did! nut
pursue his brother. He managed hikes
states successfully for years, until a series
of Undeserved feU tipon him
kind straightened his circumstances. An
fXtenaiVe conflagration reduced his forest
rental; a mining corporation, in which
I he had invested large sums, went into
i bankruptcy; to this was added failure of
crops, the unfavorable decision of a law
suit with a neighbor, in short imy father
at last saw himself reduced to the neces
sity of felling the estate—which the new
legislation empowered him to do—and
our home, the home of generations of our
family, passed from our hands- With his
wife and children he repaired to a city
and spent the remainder of bis fortune in
the education of his children.” Here I
Max paused an instant, then with a sigh |
resumed: “I, the eldest of his children,
am to-day almost a beggary with nothing
bat the meagre salary of a civil officer.
Had my uncle not taken the jewels my
father would have been able, with the
proceeds of their sale, to meet the calam
ities which overtook him kud spared our
estates. My .uncle dnubfless purchased
Ihisestate with the stolen jewels, of course
increasing its value by good management
—in a word he has what should be mine,
have less to-day than he had when
my grandfather died.”
“This is rather a tragical family histo
tsT said Gaston in a changed voice, after
a moment’s deliberation. “Now that you
have told me everything, t confess I can
not, if I would, withhold my sympathy,
which your confidence in |ne has increas
ed; what do yon mean to do ?”
“Have I not told yon? il do not wish
to terrify Mons. d’Avelon or Valentine
by revealing my relationship to them. I
will try to win Valentine jf-ecanse—l love
her—” \
“And because it is the simplest and eas
iest way to gain possession of wbak you
consider yours,” interrupted Gaston.
“But! too have claims u|>on Valentine.”
“You may think you have; I do not
contradict you ; and I shall yield silently
should Valentine prefer you to me; nor
shall her father ever knifw bow nearly
we are connected, hot quietly continue in
possession of what he considers his l|!I the
end. But pray understand roe; 1 will not
exercise the same regard for a stranger;
when Moos. d’Avelon dies you, nor no
one else—for Valentine may choose some
one else—shall Inherit this estate. My
claims are plain and easily proven. I
have the letter in which my uncle con
fesses himself the purloioer of our jewels,
and peace once more restored between
France and Germany, no court will re fore
to sequester the estate that was purchas
ed with my father's—with my inheri
tance.”
“Moos. d’Avelon’s estate Is prescrib
ed.'*
“A properly gained criminally can
never be prescribed.”
Qastonturoed and walking to a rustic
seat a few paces onward, sat down and
drawing forth an etui lighted a cigar. For
gerund moments he silently watched the
24. 1873.

Wue clouds carting upward, then In a
composed voice said:

? “I am sony,” h& began at length, “that
have no faith in your belief that
lions. d’Avelon is your uncle. I have
from my mother that he was a Bel*
gifin by birth and thathis family live in
Belgian, relatives with whom my mother
was in communication some years ago.
hlons. d'Avelon’s wife was a distant rela
tive of my mother, and it was her dowry
which enabled him to purchase the Ferme
desAuges,” triumphantly.'
“That may be ; then he spent the pro
ceeds of the jewels earlier, and my claims
wpufd by no means be diminished there
by.”
r i
if ‘‘And concerning thei ring;’* continued
Gaston ignoring Max’s words, “it proves
nothing at all. Such a bauble can be
purchased in any shop where such an*
tigue jewelry is sold.”
i “And his confusion when he ’earned
who I was, and his chirograpby ?” asked
Max.
: “Are you certain he was confused? And
What evidence conld be based on the sim
ilarity between a hand writing of to day
and that of thirty years ago! I have a
proposition to make: remain at the
Ferme to night and to-morrow morning I
Will bring yon proofs that will convince
yon ot your error.”
- “What sort of proofs ?” asked Max du
biously. '
i "A Copy of bis marriage contract, prov
ing that his f>>rtuue is the dowry his de
ceased witu brought him, and not the pro
ceeds 1. 1 your grandmother’* j-wels. Also

‘I would, toth-ed, like i<» «*•« these
|»roids,” returned Max stlH d übting,
•'iiiit I must beg Ibe favor some other
(iim-; I dare nut tie abM-nt from my quar
tern in V.dd over nit'll'.”
“When such an important matter is to
be decided, are you such afslave to your
fancied duty?” asked Gaston father
sneeringly. “Besides lam obliged to go
to Neufchateau to-morrow forenoon,
where I may perhaps have to remain for
several days—of weeks.”
“At what hour could you let me have
these papers ?”
“I shall return to Givres to day imme
diately after dinner, then I will speak to
ray mother—”
“You promised not—” v
“Have no fears, I will not betray your
secret in my inquiries concerning Mods.
d’Avelon; I will secure the papers and
leave them here with you on my way to
Neufchateau to-morrow early—about
seven o’clock. You can send them back
to Givres after examining them. Are you
agreed ?”
Under the circumstances. Max conclud
ed to risk the captain’s displeasure ; be
would send bis servant with a message to
Sontheim, so that his absence would at
least not create any uneasiness. Gaston
undertook to procure him an invitation
to spend the night at the Ferine. Mens.
d’Avelon was passionately fond of chess ;
it would be sufficient to incidentally turn
the conversation on this subject after din
ner, and on the old gentleman’s learning
Max’s partiality for the game an invita
tion to try their skill would of course fol
low—and Mon's. d’AveJon’s games were of
no short duration.
