THE GUNMAKER OF MOW.
A Tale of the Empire lender Peter The Great
CHAPTER 1.
The time at which we open our story is mid
winter, and towards the close of the teventeentb
century. Russia is the scene.
Iu the suburbs of MOSCOW, and very near the
river Muskwit, stood an humble cot, which be
trnycd a neatness of arrangement and show of
taste that more time made up for its smallness of
size. Back of the cot was an artisan's shop, and
other out-buildings. This shop was devoted to
the manufacture of fro-arms, mostly. Some
swords, and other edged weapons, were made here
upon special application. •
The toaster of this tenement wkthe hereof our
tale, Iturle Novel. We and is itOstanding by his
(urge, watching the white smoky as it curled up
towards the throat of the chimney. fie was a
young man, nut over three-and- Mellty, and pos
sessed a frame of more than ordinary _symmetry
and muscular development. le was not large—
not above n medium size—but a eingle glance at
the swelling chest, the broad shoulderS, and the
sinewy ridges of the bare arms, told at once that
he was master of great physical power. Ills fath
er had been killed in the then late war with the
Turks, and the son, leaving his mother with a
-sufficiency of sustenance, wont, to Spain soon al"-
fatiut6rotisiernen 6.1 f 1 1`beroliefciii,gpiiiirlpiii4tia
most.puted armories; and, now well reriedin We .
trade, fie had returned to his native city to follow
his 'ealling.pand support his mother.
Near by stead a boy—Paul Peepoti—a bright,
intelligent lad, some fifteen years °rage, who had
bound himself to the guntrtuker for the purpose of
learning the art.
Claudia Nevel, Buries - mother; was enoble look
iog woman, and the light ofeher still handsome
countenance was never brighterlhan when gazing
upon her boy. She bad a thankful; loving heart,
and a prayerful, hopeful soul.
"It is snowing again, faster than eves;-'.' re
marked Paul, as ho took his seat at the suppyr• .
table, in company with the others.
"Alt," returned Rurie, resting his knife a few
moments while he bent his ear to listen to the
voice of the storm. "I had hoped 'tweuld snow
no inure IV; the present. The snow is deep enough
now. And how it bialys!"
"Never mind," spoke the dame, inn trustful,
easy tone, "it must storm when it listeth, and we
eau only thank God that we have shelter, and
pray for those who have none."
"Amen]" responded Rorie, fervently.
The meal was at length eaten, and the table set
back, and shortly afterwards Paul retired to his
bed.
nitric drew his chair close up to the fire-place,
and leaning against the jam he bowed his bead
inmbsorbing thought. This had become a habit
with him of late. Ills mother having observed
these fits of abstraction, became unemmy and press
ed Runic to tell her what it was over which he was
SO constantly and so moodily brooding. Being
thus urged, Runic confessed that it was of Rosa
lind Valdai (the orphan daughter of a nobleman,
and now the ward of Olga, the powerful. and
haughty Duke of Tula) he was thinking. Ruric's
father, and the father of Rosalind, had been com
rades in arms in their youth, and their uhildren
had been playmates. But when the elder Neve!
was slain in battle, Runic was yet tt, boy, and the
widow and her non remained poor and obscure;
while 'fluidal, more fortunate, had risen to it high
rank, and dying, left Rosalind a title and a for
tune,
The young people, however, had not forgotten
each other. Ruric loved Rosalind with elf the
fervor of his being, and be felt assured that Rosa
lind returned his lose. As he and his mother sat
debating the matter on that stormy oig!it, a NO
knock upon the outer floor startled them.
"Is there any one here?" the gumnakermsked,
as be opened the door, bowinghis head nod shield
ing his eyes from the driving snow with one band.
"Yes," returned a voice from the Stygien dark
ness. "In God's name let me in, or I shall per
ish."
."Then follew quickly," said Runic
giee teener hund.—There,-now eoree._ _
. The youth found the thickly•glored hand—
gloved with the etiftest fur—end haring led the
invisible .appliennt into the hall he closed the
door, nail. then led the way to the kitchen.
Without,spesking, Iturie turned and gazed upon
the new-.comer. The stranger, who taus equally
desirous ufasuertoining whot manuer.of wan Bo
ric ions, was a monk—and hainted someth in°. like
one of the Black monks of-St. Michael: He was
oftnediu in bight, and possessed a rotundity of per
son which was molted to behold.
At length, after warming„hiMself by the fine,
the guest asked if he.could hc accommodated with
seine sleeping.-place, and being ani3wered in the ,
affirmative, Retie showed him to a chamber cad
then retiredkireeelf.. .
The nextmornimr, after breakfast. the Amtk
went With Rurie to his shop, and examined with
much interest the Various wearons therein. Ru
rie rpiestintieciXim closely es to whether he ,had
ever met him befork but Wel:Welt repliedi'eva.
sively, end after saying that in case the gunma.
ker should ever, in any great emergency, need, a
friend, that be might apply to him, he took his
leave.
. -
Towards the middle of the afternoon, just as
Berle had finished tempering some parts of a gun
lock, the back door - of the shop was opened, and
two Caen entered. They wore young men, dress
ed in costly furs, and both of them stout and good
looking. The guninaker recognized them as' the
Count Conrad Damonoff and his - friend Stephen
Urzen.
"I think I speak with Rurie Novel," said. the
Count, moving forward.
coVon do," returned Kuria, nut at all surprised
by the visit, since people of all classes were iu the
habit of Milling at his place to order arms.
"You are acquainted with the Lady Rosalind
Valdal?" be said.
"I am answered Burk, now beginning to won
der.
"Well, sir," resumed Damonoff, with much
haughtiness, "perhaps my business can be quick
-fyrand eatisfactorily settled. It is 'my desire to
make t h e 14.3".1tasaliald 'wife,
Rune:Novel startled at these wor‘ds, ariii he
clasped ins hands to hide their tremulousness.
But he was not long debating upon an answer.
"And why have you come to me with this in
formation, sir ?" be asked.
'Retie Navel, you shall not say that I did not
make myself fully understood, and hence I will
explain.' The Count smoke this as,speaka a man
who feels that he is•doing a very :condescending
thing,,and in the same tone ho proceeded ..;The
Lady Rosalind is of noble parentage and very
wealthy. My own station and wealth aro equal
with.bers. I love her, and mast have her for my
harebeen'te.See the-noble Mika, her

In ono of the stmtptiolisly
meats of the palace• of the Duke of tale, sat :
Rosalird Valdai. She was a beautiful girl; mold
ed in perfect form, with the full flush of health
and vigor, and possessing a face of peculiar
sweetness and intelligence. She was only nine.
teen years of ago, and she bad been ten years an
orphan. There was nothing of the aristocrat in
her look—nothing proud, nothing haughty; but
gentleness and love were the true elements of
her soul.
'How now, Zenobie ?'• asked Rosalind, as her
waiting-maid entered.
•There is a gentleman below who would see
.7OU,' the girl replied.
'Then toll him I cannot see him,' said Rosa-
Lind, trembling. •
•fut it is Rorie Novel, my mistress.'
'Rude!' exclaimed the fair maiden, starting
up, while the rich blood. mounted to her brow
and temples, 'O,I am glad be has come. Ity
prayers ere surely answered. Lead him hither,
Zenobie.'
The girl departed, And ere long 'afterwards
Rorie entered the apartment. He walkod;quick
ly to where Rosalind had arisen to her"•feit; hod
taking one of her bands in both" of his own ;he
pressed it to his lips. It was with difficulty ho
spoke. But the emotions of his soul became
calm at length, and then he received Roeatind'e
prolviae that she would never permit her hand to
be diepueed of to another" y the Duke of Tula.
Runic informed her of the visit ofCount Damon
off to his shop. its purpose and the result. Ro
salind was astonished and alarmed. Still, she
could not believe that the Duke meant to bestow
her hand upon Dainonoff. The Duke cwed him
money, she said, and might perhaps ho playing
with the Count.
Rorie started as a new suspicion flashed upon
him. Had the Duke-sent Datennoff upon that
mission on purpose to get him into a quarrel.—
'Aye; thought the youth to himself, the Duke
knows that I have taught the sword-play, and
he knows that the Count would be no match
for me. So he thinks in this subtle manner to
wake me an instrument for ridding him of a
plague.' But the youth was careful not to let
Rosalind know of this.- He thought she would
be unhappy if she knew that a duet was likely to
come off between himselfand the count.
After eoine minutes of comparative slknee,
Iturie took leave of Rosalind, and was soon in
the open court,. Here be entered his sledge, and
then drove to the barracks in Om lihitago
.rod, where he inquired,for a young friend named
Orso, a lieutenant ufmlre guard. The officer was
quiekly found, and be met Rorie his , salute
. then was warm and cordial. After the first friend
ly greetings had passed. Rorie remarked, ' , Luray

officer, excitedly.
"Su I think," resumed Runic. calmly. "And
now will you serve me in the,event ?"
"With pleasure."
And thereupon Runic related nil that had oc
curred at the time of the Count's visit to his shop,
nod then took his leave. •,,
Ile reached home just as his mutiter,waseProad
ing the board for dinner. He often went away
on business, and she thought not , of. asking him
any questions.
On questioning Paul, irr timahop, in the after
noon, lturie, to his great, surprise, - learned that
the Black lidenklad been there during zhisi ab
isence, to purchase a dagger ; that he had drawn
out of the boy a minute account of the visit of
Urzen and Dimmed; and that he seemed to be
:much pleased with Ituriee conduct. As they
were talking, Urzen called and presentsd a chal
lenge from the Count. Rorie, at once referred
bins to his friend, and be look his leave.

"And the weapons?" asked Rorie.
"Swords," returned Orsa. "The Count will
bring his own ; and he giros you the privilege of
selecting such an one as you choose.'
"I thank you, Orsa, for your kindness thus
far, and you may rest assured that I shall be
prompt."
"Suppoe I call hers in the morning for you?"
suggested the visitor.
"I should be pleased to have you do so," the
,gunmaker said; and thus it was arrangedi
On the following morning was up be
times, and at the breakfaafi table stake. word of
the one all-absorbiag e theine was uttered. After
the meal wlrsliiiished the gunmaker went out to
his shop, and took down from one of the-closets
a long leathern case, in which were two swords.
They were Toledo blades, and 'of most exquisite
workmanship and finish. Rurio took out the
heaviest t ne, which was a two-edged weapon, with
a cross hilt of heavily.glided metal. He placed
thepoint upon the floor, and then, with all his
weight hki-bent the Made till the pommel touched
the point. The lithe steel sprang back to its Place
'with a sharp clang, and the was notstart
ed. Then he struck the flat of the blade open
the anvil with great force. The ring was sharp
and clear, and the weapon remained unharmed.
"By St. Micheal," said the gunmaker; to 'his
boy, "Moscow does not contain another blade like
that. Damascus never saw a better."
"I think you are right, my, master," the boy re
turned, who had beheld the trial of the blade with
unbounded admiration. "But," he added, "could
you not temper n. blade like that?" -
"Perhaps, if I had tbe steel. But I hare it
not,„ : The steal, pulse. two blades came from

After tbis.Rurie . gave Paul a few' direetiona
about the work, promising to be back before night.
Just then Orsu drove up to the door.
Rorie was all rendy. Hie mother was iu the
