Max Daveland’s body needed rest, but
his mind was in a constant r-twifl of tanv:
talizing thoughts, and his sleep was bu» a
series of annoying'dream He was ;in
the midst of raging battles; trying’
to escape from a hideous monster ; then
he lost Valentine, whom he wasstriivng
to draw from a loathsome abyss; then he
heard her piteous call echoing through
the subterranean labyrinth. Suddenly he
sat upright in bed, and rubbing, his eyes
looked around in a bewildered manner.
Gradually hissehses cleared, and he laid
back-on bis pillow once more and fell to
thinking; thinking of all that had happen
ed ill rough the night. An inexplicable rap
ture filled his heart as he thought of Val
entine's anxiety for him, of her niter for
getfulness of everything in her fear for
his safety. In his new found happiness
Max felt that he would gladly give all the
diamonds of every grandmother in the
world could he but recall his foolish con •
,fidence in Gaston de Ribeaupierre, for
was he not certain of Valentine’s prefer
ence now that he need to fear the young
Frenchman’s interference? Hehad placed
MOhs. d’Avelon’s reputation in the hands
of a stranger and he must make amends
for it someway. He would recall what he
he had told Gaston, and tell him he had
made a most ridiculous mistake.
With this thought Max sprang to the
floor and hastily dressed ; 4t was growing
light, and remembering to have seen
writing materials on the table when Gas
ton left a few hours before, he concluded
to write an explanation and leave Givres
before its master has risen.
Proofs and letters concerning d’Ave
lon’s nativity at Belgium could not exist,
and Gaston must have pretended just to
lure him to Givres—why bad not the
thought occurred before J
He sat down by the little table, and in
the faint morning light wrote :
‘ Mons. de Ribeaupierre: lam ashamed
ami mortified that I have made such an
egregious blunder ; a childish remem
brance just recalled convinces me of it. I
have repeatedly heard my fapiily speak
ot the person whom 1 thought I had dis
covered as having lost two joints of his
left hand little finger, by a careless hand
ling of a gun when a boy. The gentle
man of whom wie spoke has no such mu
tilation, I am greatly mortified by the
knowledge that I have committed such an
error. Ami since there is no further ne
cessity for examing your documents,
there is nothing left but to thank you for
your hospitable kindness to me this night.
Max Dave land.
When he had finished he stood up and
from the window saw broad streaks ot
lights radiant from the horizon, illumi
nating the vapory mists veiling the moun
tain: top. Behind yon mountain Neuf-
chateau must lie, and farther on Donate
mi la Pucelle ; tic had, therefore, only to
strike northward and he was on the right
road to Void.
Max hastily completed his morning
toilet and approached the door—it was
locked! _
? lo vain he turned the knob, shook and
knocked —even kicked against the firm
wood ; he was a prisoner.
A muttered curse burst from his lips
as his face flashed “I & ave fo °]*
ishfy allowed myself to be duped by this
Frenchman! I am a prisoner—bui I
hope it won’t be a great while, for there
must surely be some outlet to this bear
trap—for it is nothing more, since I was
entrapped like a stupid bruin !”
There was no escipe but through the
window, which was at least twenty feet
from the ground outside. Max recalled
instances of escapes from similar
by lying sheets torn in strips to the win
dow-edge; but this would take too long
to accomplish, a more expedient method
was in view. He went to the bed, and
cutting loose ihe heavy silken cord that
held back and ornamented the curtains,
returned to the window. He fastened it
firmly to an iron hook in the edge, and
taking advantage of his gymnastic prac
tiCes in. earlier days swung himself oat
ward, and the next instant he stood safely
upon the earth, feeling only a slight
shock from his jump. Carefully avoiding
the lawn in front, he hastened through
the park and soon reached the road,
which he crossed quickly, and concealed
himself in the dense shrubbery of the
hedge, for the sound of a horse galloping
dCirac nearer and nearer, and peering from
ills concealment be recognized Gaston’s
figure spile of the cloak wrapped aroilnd
him. Where' had.he been? Max con-
himself on his timely escape,
and after Gaston had entered the court he
started forward at no laggard’s pace. He
found no difficulty in recognizing the
road to the Femie, and ran swiftly for
some time until be came to where a nar
row ravine led lo the right. He halted a
moment and conjectured that Ibis must
be where he had encountered Gaston on
his leaving the grotto. Had not Valen
tine promised lo return lo the grotto, ami
might it nut be possible she was there at
this moment. The hope of finding her,
and speaking to her alone—of telling her
all the thoughts that had ifilled his heart,
was too enticing. Even should he not
meet her b'e could follow the path that
led to the Ferme, and from thence pursue
his way home, which was certainly the
wisest should Gaston have discoveied bis
escape and underotke to follow him with
some of bis servants. He entered the ra
vine, and afler_ a brisk walk reached the
grotto—but the maid was not there! The
spot was as solitary and lonely as when
he had left it, and yet he hesitated, expect
ing—hoping—waiting. M
At last be gave up the vain hopes and
started forward, loth to leave the wierd
solitude.' •
While* Max stood' meditating in the
narrow ravine, the : messenger J had an-;
hbunted' Lieutenant Davpland 1 # rhysti Z
rious disappearance. Captain Sontbelin
sprang from his conch as if electrified, ig
suing rapid aa he threw himself in
to his clothes, add in auTncredibly short
time be was on the road to the Fenpe d? 8
Auges, accompanied by Lieutenant!. Mer
wig, while Hartig followed on foot with
a posse of soldiers.
Arrived at the Ferme he first heard the
sub-officer’s report; that worthy, fellow
secretly rejoiced at being released from
bis responsible position by the arrival of
his superior. -
“Was I, right in these people,
Herr Captain ?” he asked respectfully.
“Certainly—you did perfectly right.
Battler!” exclaimed the Captain approv
ingly. “You would have been severely
reprimanded had you neglected to do so.
We must not hesitate to make an exam
ple of these people. Now show me where
you discovered traces of their climbing
into his room."
“It is clear,” said Sontbeim decisively,
after examining the footprints, “that they
surprised him and dragged him from Ibis*
window; our practical Hartig was cor
rect when be said these people were try
ing to lure Daveland to destruction —but
who would have dreamed of such cursed
villainy?”
“It is enough to drive one furious,” ex
claimed fllerwig clenching his fists. “Wo
ought to shoot every, hound on the prem
ises!”
“I suppose they will decide what is to
done with these people in Commercy ?”
returned the sub-officer respectfully as he
glanced inquiringly at the Captain. “If
they arc to be shot and the execution falls
to our company, I-r” he hesitated.
“Well what?” demanded Sontbeim.
“Oh—l—only meant”—he returned hes
itatingly—“that if it must be—well then
it must be ! But one would rather the
task of playing execution fell to some
Other —that is, one would rather keep
their muskets free—”
“You’d better not worry your head
about such things !” interrupted the Cap
tain. “Now let us sec the prisoners, and
then you may wait for the men ; as soon
as they arrive surround the house, and
the instant I send you word bring every
servant to me.”
“As you command, Herr Captain !”
touching bis cap with true soldierly cour
tesy.
Sontheim accompanied by Merwig now
entered the mlon. Mens. d’Avelon came
eagerly toward them, while the two la
dies, who sat at some distance from each
j other, remained seated, without acknowl
edging the officers’ greeting.
Politely reusing d’Avelon's invitation
to be seated, Sonlbcim in a cool tone ex
plained bis visit, while Merwig rather in
quisitively surveyed Valentine, mentally
deciding that there was nothing so mys
terious in their poor comrade’s infatua
tion, which bad so cruelly sacrificed him.
Moos. d’Avelou delivered bis statement
in a clear, straight forward manner, which
Sonlheim noted down at Valentine’s lit
tle writing table at the upper end of the
salon. When the old gentleman bad fin
ished the Captain requested Valentine to
state what she knew of the matter. She
rose and approached him—Eden rising al
so as if wishing to restrain the words she
did not wish to have spoken, by her pres
ence. Her |earB were unnecessary ; Val
entine had foreseen in what a dangerous
position it would place them should she
betray her knowledge of the plot to de
stroy Daveland. In a low, but steady
voice she made her statement. She spoke
of her anxiety for the strange officer, and
that it had urged her to warn him to es
cape—and escape he certainly must have
done, for she had left him in safely. If
misfortune had befallen him then no one
at the Ferrae was to blame. Herr Von
Daveland had escaped long enough be
fore the laborers arrived at the house.
“You confidently assert that be reach
ed a place of safely. How do you know
that he did not fall Into the hands of the
mob on the road to his refuge?” asked
Sonthcitn dubiously.
“I conducted him to it myself,” she re
turned promptly.
The Captain elevated his brows slight
ly : “And what do you call a place of
safely, Fraulein ?”
“The maid’s grotto ; a rocky cavern in
a sequestered ravine—no one would
dream of searching for him there. When
I went to release him at dawn be was not
there—nor could I find any traces of his
being surprised, or if any struggle—they
could not have found him there,” she re
peated firmly.
Sontheim now turned to Miss Ellen,
whose deposition, delivered in a coldly re
served. manner, coincided with Mons.
d’Avelon’s statement; the slightly disdain
ful curl of her lips plainly indicated her
contempt for her auditor and the world
I in general.
For a few moments Sontbeim busily
wrote down the items, then turned to
d’Avelon once more.
"I leg your pardon, Monsieur, but
your statement is not satisfactory—l
must examine your servants. Lieutenant
Merwig, see that they are all assemb >d ”
He turned to u’Avelon when that officer
had left the room ioobey and resumed:
"You must confess that your evidence is

be asked in a trembling tone-”
Sontheim did not answer; spite of the
sternness he had assumed, the affair was
painful in the extreme to bis naturally
generons heart, and as Valentine sprang
to her father’s side and threw herself sob*
bingly on his breast, he turned and-Took*
ed fixedly out of the door whence Mer
wig bad goue. The old gentleman press
ed his daughter's head : close!? to his
breast, and bent oyer her. tp ; hide the
large tears starting in his eyes as he strove
to soothe her.
“My poor, poor child !—be firm—be
calm. This cruel'war has sacrificed better
men than I—they-,will not have the heart
to touch your sweet bead—they will not!
Ellen—come give me your hand—should
1 full a victim to this inexplicable affair,
you at least shall not be injured—not the
slightest suspicion rests on you—” • _
At these words Valentine started from
bis clasping arm as if pierced with a sud
den pain, and burying her face in jier
bands—it required all her self-command
to suppress the mud worcfr tbatwoold
have proclaimed Miss. EHen’s guilt. . .:
With, eyes averted Valentine almost
staggered to a scat; her heart torn with
conflicting emotions—grief for Max’s fate
and mingled scorn and sorrow for her
father's.infatuation for the English wo
man. She sank back in iht fanteuiX, a
deadly pallor in her face; her father
sprang to her side as if to catch her in
his arms. She pushed .him Shelf Wshe
rose to her feet with a-piercing cry that
seemed to come 'from her in most heart;
and springing forward with extended arms
threw them convulsively around a hastily
approaching figure,'who caught her in a
firm embrace and held her fainting form
close to his breast as he looked aroand in
in the utmost, bewilderment.
It was Max Davelahd who had rushed
like a tornado across the terrace and into
the salon, and who had first been seen by
Valentine’s fading vision.
"Daveland!” cried Sootheim and d’Av
elpn simultaneously-and the exclama
tion was echoed by Merwig who at that
moment entered leading the servants,
whom he motioned to retire,when he per
ceived the unexpected addition to the
company assembled.
“Is it you or your ghost?” exclaimed
Sontheim coming forward. “Where the
de—uce have you been? Do you, know
sir, that while yon have been taking your
morning promenade we have been on the
point of sentencing a dozen or more to
death, and making, a bon fire this
house, because we held them responsible
for your death ?”
“Great heaven !” exclaimed Max,;paling,
“you are not in earnest, Sontheim?”
"I believe I am on duty now, Lieuten
ant von Daveland, and you know that
when I am on duty I never jest; you must
render an account for your strange disap
pearance .”
“If you really thought I bad been mur
dered, I confess I find yotir mode of ex
pressing joy at ray safely highly original,
Captain von Sontheim,” and turning,
he bent over Valentine, whom he softly
placed in the seat she had risen from.
“Valentine if this is true —cap you—
will you forgive the anguish and sorrow
I have caused you and yours? Great
heaven—what trouble my stupidity ;

Mods. d’Avelon now approached him j
with wide eyed perplexity; his eudden j

not more than Valentine’s reception of;
him, and his brain was not quite clear as |

fervently: “Heaven has given you back !

the pair in silence, while M ix’s comrades
turned toward each cjtber ill
striving to conceal their, emotion beneath
an embarrassed smile. Sonihe’m feeling
that their presence here was no longer

a merry twinkle' in his eyes:
“The anxiety and trouble your doty

made us.Tesentful enough to think you
accountable for it—and even were it so,
you have an intercessor, in your comrade
here, for whom we both have a mutual

tore of resignation, emotion and* playful
ness in his tone.
. “Thank you—thank you, for your gen

tending his hand cordially. “Pray allow
me to express my sincerest admiration for
your noble behavior. I thank you—”
Max here sprang to his feet, and inter

disengaged hand.
“Oh, Sontheim, pray don’t deprive me
of being the first to thank this noble, gen

“Why do you thank me?” interrupted
the old geptieman in his turn. “Have I
not seep plainly enough that I might as
well put a good lace on a had bargain—
the bargain in which I robbed you of a
queen of chess, and you take my daughter
in revenge.”
“As a queen she shall ever be to me!”
murmured Max drawing Valentine to bis
side.
“I suppose it is useless to ask where
you have hidden yourself all this time,
for 1 certainly should not receive a very
lucid explanation ; nor would the repri
mand you so justly deserve be likely to
be received with the respectful, attention
and compunction becoming your misde

shook Mods. d’Avelon’s hand, smiled jo
cosely at Max and bowing low to Valen

upon the Ferine des Aoges by his trusty

Outside be found Hartig ready to de
part. Merwig had recounted the occur
rence in the salon.
‘‘Very remarkable!” muttered Hartig
drily. “And did you not learn where our
gifted cosmopolitan burrowed last night?
What a subject for meditation! where
does an infatuated being generally dispose
of himself when he has no feeling in com
mon with his comrade ?—I say gentlemen!
do me a favor ?r-yea ? Let it be my task
to tell the fair Nicaise—”
“Do you think she can guess the conun
drum?” interrupted Merwig laughing.
“No, bat I believe in 'exempla irahunt /’
Attention! shoulder arms! right wheel—

military aplomb as he turned to bis men,
and soon after every Prussian uniform—
save-one—had disappeared from tbe Ferme
