How I furt-d in Vlcntin, I hnvo nl-
ready told you. Tho lady Von Tnrnntl
hntl vniilslied. The hotel hnd passed
Into now hands j nnd so tliero wns no
ono to give me any luformiitloii. My
nciiiialfitnncts kuewns little of her nntl
her whorenlinnts us I. They wrote nt
my request to Augsburg, whenco slio
or her aunt hml brought letters of credit
nnd Introduction. -JJut tho Augsburg
correspondent had 111. tlio mean time
died, nnd his heirs could glvo Intelligence-
of no lady Von Tnrnau.
Enough ; I wns In despair. 1 wns
most hcnillly vexed with myself. Eor
wns it not my own 'null, that, during
my first stay In Vlonnn, I had been so
unpardonably negligent an not to Inform
myself of her family and residence? In
deed, then I never once thought tlntt I
wns going to fall In love with hrr a yenr
nnd it quarter afterwards.
In tho tnldit of my trouble, what on
livened mo tho most, although it In
creased my pasdon, was her room.
That room 1 now occupied. I found tho
sumo furniture still there, the very
chair on which sho cat, and the tablo nt
which she wrote. The whole past lived
so vividly before my eyes mid around
me, that I iibMilutcly sprung up from
my scat all In n flutter, upon thesllght-
cst noise at tin door, thinking that It
wan sno norseii aim uer aunt coining
in.
In tho room itsolf nothing remained
iiiiBcnrclied, for I still hoped to discover
some truce of her. Twenty times did I
oxtimluo tho wMIs from tho lloor to tho
celling to llntl, among tho signatures of
travellers there, her mimc,or something
that would lead to Iho discovery of her
home. All lu vnlnl
Odd but trilling enough, the very
ilr.st dny I went into tho room, 1 found
in the drawer of the wrltlng-tnblo let
no ono laugh u bcuutiful, shining,

symbol this vegetable, hnd become to
mo, nnd now I had found it in Jose
phine's room 1 I took up tho bean with
tlio greatest care. Ana its 1 now gnvo
up tho fond hope of ever finding the
loveliest being upon earth, I took tho
bean U) a Jeweller, nnd had it set in
gold, In order to wear it continually by
n silken guard round my neck, as it
m cmento of tho loveliest of hersex and
of my sutl rouiiHjoe,
I then left Vienna. 1 wns unhappy
and comfortless. I swore never to mar
ry. Ah, one swenrs many things in his
haste I
1 rciurncd lo my native city llko'
widower. All young ladles appeared
to me Intolerable, stale, common ; I
buried myself in business ; I diverted
my mind by engaging in largo specula'
tlon?; saw no company, made no visits.
Josephine's image hovered continually
around mo llko . a guardian angel, nnd
thu bean iijiiui my breast was as pre
clous a possession r.s If it had been bo-
stowed hy hrr own hand. iM no ono
grudgo Iho unhappy his dreams! I
even nt last imagined that the beautiful
Turunu had hcr&clf placed the beau In
the drawer of the wriliiiK-lable. A ha
py fancy is lu tho end as good ns any
philosophy by which one would fain
console himself.

sent to my houm. I would hnvo noth
ing In do with them.
Tu 1'ieo myself from my tin mentors,
nnd to show that I was still like other
men, I went now and then lo some of
tho evening paities at the hmisi s of my
Irieuds,
One evening 1 accepted mi invitation
to Councillor Hilduliiniui'.. Now you
shall hear tlio cataitropi.u of my story.
1 wont to the councillor's. The com
pany were all known tu me. with thu
exception ot one person, who was in
tioiluied to Hie as a lli'titi'iiuut-coliini'l
In the Itu-alim service, and who had
latelySciiino Into po-u.rIim of an estate
about a leagtiu and a hall' lioin the city.
To this, however, I did not pay much
attention at tho moment. I bowed si
lently, laid aside my hat and took my
seat. Conversation was lively; no
much the better for mu, I had no espec
ial desire to talk.
Thu Hussion olllcer, a large, stout
man, or tni agreealile nnu iiigniiieu ng
ure, already past sixty, ..till full of ani
mation, chiefly engaged my attention.
Ho had a ribbon ut his button-hole, nud
a eoiiplu of sc.iri. on his l'urehcnd and
cheek. His volcu was lutul and author
Itutivo; It was easy to scu in him a
comimmdlug olllcer. Tho conversation
turned now upon Persia, and now upon
Moldau, where thu lieutcunnl-colniicl
had made campaigns. Thu company
listened to him with pleasure, and lie
told Ids stories well.
Aler supper the conversation grew
still moro lively, The old olllcer told
of a battle, in which, wounded lu the
breast, lie had fallen from his horse and
been taken pr.souer by tlioTuiks. When
lu thu excitement of his iianatlvu ho
toru open hii vest it) show tho wound,
wo' remarked that ho wuro next to his
heart a llttlo golden locket fastened by
u silken guard. Ho drew out tho loelfet
and exclaimed : "The Janissaries rob
bed mu of every tiling j but this Jewel,
tho most precious ol my possessions, I
saved!"
Of course, all Imagined thai it muit
bu a diamond ut uncommon size, or u
pearl of luimeiisu value, ouu of his Eas
tern spoils.
"Oh, not at all," eiledho "it Is only
a Lewi!"
'A U'utt!" uxchiliued every one.
At III eo words 1 became, I believe,
ted its llru or palu its ilu.ilh, or both by
turns, lor 1 could not command myself
for f-.urprl.u, "How comes thu man by
n bean which hu wcai-i) bet In gold llku
a bticrtd rollc, Just llko moY" thought
I. Li tany one imatJuo hlnwlf in my
situation, mid lit) will know how I !'!(.
I longed to learn why ho worotliobenn'
"Jut I wns confounded; I could not
bring out n syllnblc. I tossed off n
glass of punch to get courngo to nsk tho
question. IJut I was saved tho troublo
by nil present.
"I will willingly tell you," snld tho
old officer, and niled his plpo; "hut I
am nfrnld the story Is not sulHelently
Interesting. Elll your pipes gentlo-
men."
Every ono obeyed, even I.nlthough
I wns no smoker. l!ut I took the cold
plpo between my lips, from puro fenr
thnt the colonel should refuse to proceed
If he saw mo without his favorite In
strument.
Gentlemen, I was a cadet In my fif
teenth year, and n lieutenant lu my
twentieth, said tlio old gentleman.
Hut In his flvc-and-twcntlcth ono is
something moro than n mere lieutenant.
He Is n god, iiotn bciiu 1 if lie is in lovo.
And thnt was I.
Our colonel hnd a daughter, the most
beautiful nnd bewitching maiden In the
wholo kingdom, and I had, along with
two pound eyes, an extra sound heart.
This explains everything. Tho' young
cotintees of Obcndorf but I lovo to call
hci' to myself by her baptismal namo of
Sophia, for, notn bene! I was no count
Sophia then was Hlxteen yenrs old,
nnd 1, ns I said before, five nnd twenty ;
you can easily Imagine what mischief
aroe therefrom. Jt wns quite unnvold-
tble, I assure- you. You all see that
plainly enough ; but tho colonel, who
had the eye of nhnwk In regimental
matters, did not seo it at all; but my
!ovo,nota bcnol was no regimental mat
ter: for tho rest, I stood very high with
him ; ho wns ns fond of mo as n son.
Ho had known my ptrcnts, who wcro
no longer living; lie stood to mo as ft
father, nnd I would hnvo given any
tiling In tho world to hnvo been his son.
IJut thnt was not to bo thought of. Ho
was n colonel, I a lieutenant; ho a
count, I not; ho rich as Crcesus, I poor
ns a church-mouse. Now you know nil.
The distance betwccnjis was too great.
The countess1 Sophia did not make
such nice distinctions about titles and
wealth as tho old colonel, and yet in
many things bIio was moro prudent
than he.
I remarked, indeed, that sho treated
me in H'.njjra friendly manner than any
other of 1 th ljlijurs ; that she liked best
to'tnlk'TTith me'; liked best to danco
with mo ; liked best to vnk with mu
In ftip garden In summer,' nnd to go
sleighing with mo in tho winter, how
ever, I could not conclude from nil this
whether sho loved mo. Hut that I lov
ed, ndorcd, idolized her, that I knew,
nntl thnt I knew only too well.
A thousand tirmvj vffis I ready to do
clnro myself, nnd throw myself nt her
feet but, good heavens ! I have sinto
gono with my battalion to storm a bat
tery with n lighter heart than I was
nblo then to ndvanco a single step to
wards Sophln. It will not do snld I.
IJut I will notdctnlnyou longer with
tho history of my lovo nnd sufferings
but proceeded directly to the main
point.
One evening I had to carry a report
to the colonel. Ho wns not at homo;
that, indeed, was no great misfortune,
for tho countess Sophia was sitting nil
alone, nnd sho permitted mo to nwiiit
her father's roturn iu hor company.
llnw curious It was I If wo met at
largo parties, it seemed ns if there would
bo no en J to our talk; but when wo
weronlono, tele a-tete, as they say, we
knew not what to wiy, nay, we knew
well enough, hut, notn bcnol we could
not say it ! Whether you over e.peri
enced such fatalities, gentlemen, lu
your young dnyo, I know not.
On the table bofoiethoyotiiigcoiinltss
lay a dr.iuglit-board, upon which a cer
tain gumo was played with it number
of while and brown beans.
Afturn long pauo in our convei.-a-tion
but, notn bono I such pauses were
any thing but tedious the cifuntei-'s In
vited mi' lo piny. She gave me tl:o
brown bums ami kept the white. 'I hey
belong! tl lo her, of course, on iiec.uiiit
of their color, the emblem of Inno
cence. Wd plilyed. The eouule-s won.
Thnt led to quarreling, and I liked to
qunirel with her, for then I could say
many things to her thnt I could never
muster courugo to say lu cold bloud.
And now It was just ns if wo were in
a largo party; that is wo talked fast
enough about the stakes. Tho cuuutcss
Sophia had wit ; shu laughed nnd tensed
me, urn! drove meso with her sallies Into
n corner, that In my despair I knew not
what to answer. In my vexation 1
took up ono of my brown beans, and to
punish tho beautiful Jester, who hitighcd
at ino so roguishly, threw it nt her.
Tho bean mndon parabola nnd threaten
ed Ihu delicate nose of my opponent,
but as sho drew back her pretty head to
avoid the light bomb Ah, my shot fell
through tho folds of her neckcichtcf
down Into Irer bosom. Luckily It was
no arrow
I whs terribly frightened, and wns nil'
in glow In my ugony. Sophln blush
ed, and enst her eyen modestly down.
Jest, play, and quarrel wcro nuw nil nt
nu end. I could not spunk, nud shu was
silent. I feared that 1 hud Incurred her
anger through my awkwardness 1
looked timidly towards her, sho raised
her oyes and east upon me rather u
dark look that 1 could not bear. 1
arose, and bent my kneu befoiu the
adored one, pressed her hand to my lips
ttud implored pardon, Sho answered
not a syllable, yet shu did not draw
nway her baud iroiu mo
"O countess! O. dear Sophia! don't
bu vexed with mi'. I should die," cried
I, "If you wcro angry with inc. Kor
only for you, only through you do I
live. Without you llfo is worthies.
You mo my life, my heaven, my till."
Enough; one word followed niiothor.
How much did I say to her with tears
lu my eyes, and with tears In her eyes
how much did sho listen tol 1 begged
for nu answer and yet gnvo her no time
for uu answer, and, notn bono I tho
colonel stood three steps from us lu thu
room without either of us having seen
or heard him outer. I believe bu must
hnvo glided lu like n ghost? God save
him 1 Ik Is now lu lYrudl-i-.
His awful voiccsturtlcd us liken clnp
of thunder, as ho poured out upon us a
whole string of regimental oaths, old
nnd now. I sprang up beforo him. So
phln, without losing her presenco of
mind, did tho snmc. Wo were on tho
point of excusing ourselves, If there re-
ally wns tiny thing to bo excused. Hut
lie would not allow us to utter n word.
'Silence I" shouted he, ns If, instend
of two poor sinners, he hnd to dent with
n coupls of regiments ofcnvnlry. "You,
Suphin, depart to-morrow nnd you,
31. Lieutenant, will iileaso nsk your
dismissal, nnd quit the province or
you nro a dend mnn."
With this ho turned upon his heel
nnd left tho room. I must confess, tho
prudence of tlio mnn in tho midst of his
fury was worthy of admiration ; for I
hold it wns very prudent In him thnt
ho left us nlonc; wo had still much to
sny to cncli other.
Tho countness Sophln Blood 'there in
the middle of tho room with her pret
ty bend bunk upon her brenst, and her
hands negligently folded before her liko

"Oh Sophia I" snld 1, and rushed to
wards her, nnd, folding her In my nrms,
pressed her fervently to my heart : "So
phln, now I lose you forever I
"No," she replied firmly, "not forey-
cr ; so long nsl brcntho shnll yoilr Im
ago live In my heart." And this wns
said in n tone Oh, with a voice that
thrilled every nerve In me.
'Am I really dear toyott, Sophln V" I

Sho wept ; her sobs recalled mo to
myself.
"O Sophia," cried I, sinking nt her
feet nnd embracing her knees : "I swenr

A deathlike, silence ensued. Our
souls wcro silently swearing eternal fi
delity. Suddenly something fell upon.
the lloor. It was the unfortunate bean,
to which we owed all our wretchedness.
I took It up, arose, and held jt out to
Sophia, saying, "Tills is the work of
Providence I I will keep it ns a remem
brancer of this evening."
"Yes, it is a provi deiicol" whispered
sho, nnd turned and went Into tho next
room.
Tho following morning, or rather .in
tne night, she travelled off. Tho colo
nel treated mo on parado with the
most scornful coldness. I applied for
my dismissal, received it nnd went off.
Whither 1 cared not. Krlends gave me
letters to Petersburg nnd supplied me
with traveling money.
"It is n provldcncol" thought I, and
started for tho rough North. Sophia
was lost to mo forever; nothing re
mained to mo but tho painful remem
brance and the bean. This I had set in
go;d,nnd I hnvo now faithfully worn it
next my lie art for two-and-forty years.
Aiy letter isoon obtained for mo n
lieutenant's commission. IJwns some
what indifferent to life, and so was
somewhat brave. I fought in Asia nnd
Europo, got booty, honor, orders, and
wliatover else a soldier desires. After
somo twenty years I got to bo iilieutcn
nut-colonel. I had grown old! inyenr
ly history was, Indeed, forgotten, but,
notn bene! tho benn was still denr to
mo.
When l was taken prisoner by the
Jiiiiissnrics ut tlio liallloor lllniiuru, lu
thu year 'KS, we had n hot day of it,
tho priiico of Nassau mado his cause
good by the way, they stripped mo of
everything; but the sacred bean they
did not Hml; It was completely soaked
iu blood. 1 expected nothing but
death. For two days 1 was dragged
about by the liillilels ; hut, Iiav.ss.tutly
pursued by our cuvaliy, they at last left
me lying half dri.'l. So our people
found me. They look pity on me and
carried me to the hospital, and, to com
plete my iv.stot'.tiloii, 1 was sent at the
head of a transport back to Moscow.
The repose pleased mu. 1 hail to
live, and therefore llfo bec.imo dear to
mo. After twenty yiars' service and
seven honorable, wounds, I could rut
sonubly look for uu honorable distills
sion, I received it with a pension; that
wi all very well, but, notn bene! I
wns not long contented. Moscow Is uu
iigreeablu city, but for one of ih, who
are no merchants, intlu r dull. Pelers
buig Is u beautiful place, but all its
splendor wns not enough (o make mo
forget tho little town where I had been
iu garrison twenty years before with
Colonel von Obendorf, and, uotabeno!
with Sophia.
There was nothing tt delay me. "Do
you not wish once more to sue tint little
town, and, perhaps, also thu beloved of
thy youth, who is now either a grand
niamni'.i, orlsdctulV" Hlcsscd heaven!
how much she' must have changed In
thu m'ea'iitlmul thought I,
I received my passports and depart
oil. I looked about mu In all the cities
through which I passed, fori had not It
lug to hasten me, nnd so I approached
our former garrison town.
How my heart bent when I saw the
black-poiiitul church-splic w.lth its
golden ball, rsi behind the irtuiiciuus
gurdui s nud mil. arils! but, ihdi. b in !
It wits not thu spin'; but I tliouulit
Sophln, and that her grave mihi ini
bo far from tin. spite.
No one In tue town knew ii)i . ll Is
very true, u quarter ol n century is a
long lime. The leglmeiit to which I
formerly belonged was uu longer there
nnd Ihu . station wm occupied by dm
goons; Oolonul vm Obendorf had died
many years before, anil his daughter
had amoved to her estalss lu Mor.ivla,
that Is, not l.ir from Urunn. Whether
she were still living no one knew.
Shall I go there too? thought I; and
If shu bu lying In her grave, then gu to

Ill llrunn I lenrnud with Joyful sur

Ono nlght,nflerlhnd occn nl.vinoruhs
on tho l9lniid, I was seated hy the fire,
wailing fortho I'lniilittis that were boil
ing In tho pot. Jonchln wus not in tho
hut, nnd I wns expecting him .home to
supper. ,t
Suddenly I heard his shout .tint-ide,
and the next Instant ho dashed juto the
hut, banged the door to, nnd threw the
henvy bar ncross It. Just ns ho fixed It
nnd hnd leaned his shouldtrngntnst thu
stout wood ns nn additional support,
mere was n shock so ncavy mm mo
whole hut quivered nntl mndo the door
bend. Another followed, ihon nil wns
still.
I Mirnnglup nt tho llrstslghtof Jonrh-
tu, but tho scone passed so quickly that
no word had been spoken yet.' Hut
when, uftcr the second blow. on thu
door, thu attempt seemed to Ije. aban
doned on that side, I took tho, native
uy tlio shoulder and sliooit mm (or lie
seemed wild with fenr.
"Hnllo.mnnl" I snld, "what Is this?"
His nppenrnuco was ghastly. Tlo old
Guatamala Jacket ho wore, his leather
breechcs,cven his boots of alligator hldo
were rlppod and cut by the thorns of
tho acacias. His face streamed with
blood from many deep scratches, mi l
perspiration drenched his long hair.
"A black tiger," ho whispered. "It
has chased mo across tho savannnh, lor
my horso tired out. It is nfter mo. Oh,
11 ,teii!"
Then In tho silence, whllo wo held
our breath, and Jemciiin strained my
bund backwards and forwnids, I heard
tho hard snoringofn tiger Just Outside
the door. No 'doubt of it? TIlo beast
hnd singled Jonchln out, nud let the
horso go free.
Whllo wo listened, tlio dllection of
tho sound moved about, now up and
down, accompanied by raps against the
door, as If tho animal wcro resting his
paws against It as he raised himself on
his hind legs.
At length wo heard tho sound of
scratching, nnd I drew my mnchctle.
Iu n few seconds a black paw, armed
witli terrible crooked claws was tien
working on our sido of the door. 1
gave a downright cut, which nenrly
severed it, nnd the animal, roaring sav
agely, threw himself against the wood
again nud again in rage.
Then another pnuso followed. Very
soon a noise upon the roof showed, as
we had expected, thnt the enemy was
directing his attack in that direction,
nnd I got my old gun ready. As soon
as I saw the animnl'j fur I fired nud
wounded him, no doubt, for ho rolled
from the roof, nnd wo heart, him fall
heavily. Again and again hu returned
to thu attempt, nnd every time I caught
a glimpse of his black and shining skill
I fired.
His mariner wns terrible to hear, and
Jonchln, who nover hud exjrrrngo to
spare, snt on tho floor In a porrter, stri
ving to eloso Ids pars to the sound.
All night the struggle Instqdnt Inler-
vnls, nnd every crack of the hut was
tried by tills untiring foe. Hi dashid
upon tho door, he hounded upon the
roof, scratching thnt way, hut never
disturbed my flro ; hu trior tho wnlls
nnd door again nnd ngaln. It was un
awful night, that's n'.tuut; and I, for
my part, did not recover from'tho ner
vous strain for months.
With tho dawn Hue tlgnr's efforts
heenm fainter, and at length ceased.
Wheu the sun rose 1 look uiy gun and
sallied out to meet the creature iu u fair
light. 1 followed his trull for a mile or
mort, easily guided by tbo clots of
blood which stained the gmss and rocks
Ho was woundad to tbedeuth I plainly
saw. At last I found him iUmd besldo
the body nf Joachln's horso, which ho
must havo destroyed lu tbu vary last
etfurt of his rago, dying in ttie acl.
A MntAcr.E ov Honesty. At u pai
ly one evening, several contending for
tiio honor of having douu the most
wonderful thing, n reverend gf'iitleiu.iii
wns appointed solo Judge of their ie
spi ctlvo pretentions.
One produced his tailor's bill with n
receipt attached to it. A buzz went
through tbo room that this could not
bo outdone, when n second proved that
hu hadjust arrested his tailor I'or'money
lent to him.
"The palm Is his," was' the generous
cry, when n third put iu his claim.
"Gentlemen," ho said, "I cannot
boast of the feats of my predecessors,
but I have returuid to tho owners two
umbrellas that they left at my house."
"I'll hear no more," cried thu tuto'i
Ished arbitrator. "Till.- is the very ac
me of honesty, It Is nu act of virtue of
which I nover knew any oue capable.
Tlio prize " ,
"Hold," cried nnothor, "I havodonu
still better than that."
"Impossible," cried tho wholo com
pany. IJV, IIS il, .11 . 1
"I have been taking my paper for Htl
years and paid for It every year In ad
vance." Ho took tho prize.
Do as I Do. A well kimwii "fat"
man recently entered bar-room In u
city Iu tho west, where ho auldom fails
to meet some twenty friends in tint
"smiling hours." With his muni heiiril-
liens uu dins up HID lUUll'llII, Willi
nothing loth, at once "faced thu cOiiutt . .'
"You must all do as I do," said ihu
liberal ono.
"Oh, certainly of eourso" was tho
unanimous reply, "What is yours going
to be?"
"I shall tnko puro brandy, " was his
reply.
And then all called for P. H. Alter
drinking, thu wag laid down Ids lip on
tho counter, and then Immediately re
lliod, whispering, In a soft porsuablvti
tono :
"Do us I do, gentlemen."
Tho party looked at one another with
ueiimlcnl stnic, until one, who finally
felt tho foreo of thu Idea creeping po
erfully through his hair, exclaimed i
"Sold by Jupiter!"
