CHAPTER XIII.
The rapid and terrible development of
events, in which the family of Hofrath
Marklin found themselves involved against
their will, made a startling impression ou
the dwellers in the small house en Wal
loon street. Elsbeth, in particular, was
greatly perplexed by the turn of affairs
that gave such sorrowful notoriety te the
death of Madame Spalding. The Hofrath
took the matter dillercntly ; he adhered te
his resolution of troubling himself about
nothing, and no occasion arose for sum
moning him te attend the trial, be remain
ed in ignorance of the proceedings, as well
as of the fact that the stolen bends had
been seized, aud were about te be deliv
ered te the heirs and added te the mass of
the inheritance left by Frau Ven Haidek.
A letter from his son Oswald produced a
peculiar effect upon him. In this letter he
announced the speedy arrival in Nonncn Nenncn
burg of Kune, and spoke with mere
warmth of the Haidcks than was agree
able te the father, declaring that upon fur
ther acquaintance he had learned te under,
stand and greatly esteem them. The Ho
frath willingly agreed with what Oswald
alleged as te the integrity and fine sense of
honor that underlay the characteristics of
the present Haidek family, bnt when his
son began te com. no the pride of birth,
of intellect, ami ;ri wealth, aud te pre
neuncc these t!i:cv qualities the combined
lever of cultuiv, when he declared himself
te be in sympathy with the first two, than
with the last, the brew of the Hofrath
clouded ever, for he knew that his seu
Oswald was a type of the family, net
merely iu outward appearauce, but was
was one with them in his inmost soul.
Still his peace of mind was net disturbed
by this conviction ; he wished for no fur
ther enmity between himself aud these
who had only inherited the uame of Hai
dek but had neither loved nor injured
him. Since they were in no wise te blame
for the occurrences that had put se sor
rowful an end te his earlier career, hew
could they still be objects of hostile feel
ings te him. His heart could net grew
warm towards them, but he would net
longer forbid his family te held inter
course with these whom he had se long
considered as dead te him. His only desire
was that his seu Oswald might be spared
an experience similar te his own.
Kune's arrival at Nennenburg seen fol
lowed upon Oswald's letter. With the
stormy haste of a llcry lever, the young
man this time turned his steps towards
the house en Walleen street, rather than
te the imposing mansion of Counseller
Berglar.d. It was neon. Elsbeth sat alone
at the window when Kune suddenly turn
ed the opposite cornet, followed by the
servant Jean, who was carrying two arti
cles carefully wrapped up.
Iu an instant both master and ser
vant had crossed the street, and steed be
fore the blushing, trembling girl. " Els
beth have you thought of ine ?" whis
pered Kuue hastily, gazing wistfully into
her bright flashing eyes. "Where is your
father?" he asked. Pointing te the packet,
he continued, " Can we net set these
somewhere uukuewn te ethers ! I am act
ing from Oswald's dictation. Oswald
sends you greeting, he will seen be here
en a short visit. O, Elsbeth, Elsbeth,
have you been thinking of me."
What could she anwer te se stormy, im
passioned a greeting ? Elsbeth scarcely
had courage te return his glance, much
less te reply te his appeal. She silently
pointed the servaut te the next room. She
was tee greatly excited te feel any curiosi
ty, yet a wandering glance told her that the
packet had contained two portraits. Jcau
retired and the two young people were
left alone with overflowing breasts. Ceu
fused and alarmed by a something she
could net clearly explain te her
self, Elsbeth steed awaiting what should
fellow.
Kune said nothing for a long time, but
kept striding up and down the room, visi
bly striving te regain his self-command.
" I have premised Oswald," he muttered
te himself several times. " Of what use
were it te speak before I have the right
te de se I might be made te experience,
that my hopes were without foundation."
Again he began te pace the room after
a momentary glance at the disconcerted,
blushing girl. "Your father is at home ?"
was his abrupt inquiry."
" He is above stairs in bis room."
" Geed ! then I will, no longer delay
putting my fate te the touch." He steed
erect and threw back his head : " A bat
tle is te be fought I knew it. The con
flict will be waged with unequal weapons
one side love ; en the ether ' implaca
blcness.' Elsbeth, pray for my weapons,
pray that the victory may be mine."
"And if this victory should inflict a pain
ful aud incurable weuud upeu the soul of
a man, who hns already been greatly aud
severely tried?" asked the girl, as if awak
ing from a dream aud suddenly becoming
aware of Kune's meaning.
"Well, and then? inquired Kune in pas
sionate suspense "then the victor will be
refused the reward of his victory net se?"
"Yes," was the decided reply of the
young girl.
"Oswald judged rightly," said Kuue
grae'.y. "Let us leave it with Ged, whether
a man who has coldly and sternly buried
his whole past in oblivion may net be
softened and healed by the sunbeams of
love by the memory of his father his
mother."
He passed into the adjoining roem.closcd
.the deer after him, and busied himself ap
parently with taking the portraits out of
their coverings. But a few minutes were
needed ler this, then he came back, locked
the deer, saying iu a tone of great excite
ment, "It is the last, the euly means in
my power of working upon your father.
If that should fail, I shall never see you
again, the gulf your father has tern open i
:.. i.: :e:ki .. m n i. I
us forever. Elsbeth your hand it may be
an eternal farewell."
Moved te her inmost soul, Elsie offered
her hand ; he seized it and pressed it close
ly te his lips, whilst the agitated girl mur
mured, "It is my father ; what he imposes
upon me, I must approve."
When Kune had left her, Elsbeth buried
her face iu her hands, listening anxiously
te the firm fpetstcps with which Kune as
cended the staircase te incct her father.
With his own frank ingenuous manner,
Kune entered the Hofrath's apartment ; the
latter received him with the favor which the
letters of his son had inspired by degrees.
When the first greetings were ever, the
Hofrath did net fail te observe the unusual
excitement under which Kune was labor
ing, and a presentiment of the truth flashed
upon him for the second time. "Net that,
net that," said an inward warning voice.
"The first time I met you," said Kune,
mastering his emotion, "I came as mes
senger or peace from the Haidek family,
and you received me kindly. New I come
as a petitioner. Let the palm of peace
take deeper root give the family bend a
new sanction, unite the family circle closer
and mere indissolubly than before by your
kindness te me."
" That is net injury power," broke in the
Hofrath, with decision.
"I insist that it is in your power."
" Geed ; then I declare frankly that it is
beyond my ability te agree te this in any
wise."
" Have you net by the course of your
whole life given brilliant proof that with
you self-denial and 'self-command rank
first among the virtues ? Well, then !
conquer the resentment that still lurks in
your besom against them who once in
jured you ; grant me full liberty te sue for
your geed will the Ieve of your family ;
prove te me your willingness te be recon
ciled ; permit me te make atonement for
the injuries ence inflicted upeu you."
The Hei rath turned his expressive eyes
full upon the young man's face, saying,
kindly, "Give up what you have in view ;
in the heavy hours, when I was obliged te
erase the name of Haidek from the tablets
of my heart, I also buried for ever, my
love for this family."
"Jiuttn spite of that, wc have been
drawn mere closely together ; your heart
will again open te admit us ; my prayer
is mere important than you can imagine :
de net reject me ! If you send me away I
shall never dare te return. I shall, then
have te bear the heavy lead of retribution
without having earned it."
The Hofrath rose, with a-deep, signifi
cant sigh, hiscountenanco bere"tue traces
of painful emotion ; he theugni upon the
possibility that his darling child, his Els
bctli, might be a sharer iu this bur.ieu.
"Let us end this sad interview." he said
.dejectedly. "My expe'rience in life fits me
te judge that a firm resolve, taken at the
right time, may save the happiness of a
life. If your mind can realize the circum
stances in which I am placed, you will rec
ognize that my past must form a barrier
te your wishes. Farewell, Kune ! I knew
that my son prizes you ; that is sufficient
guaranty of your worth, and I have the
strength te believe that in time you will
be convinced of the impossibility of such
a connection with me as you wish."
" I honor your openness. I will go!"
returned Kune, calmly, "but I await the
moment when your heart shall respond te
my wishes ; when you will wish te recall
your rejection !"
The Hofrath reached out his hand te
Kuue, but did net leek at him. Greatly
softened by these submissive words he
bent his-head in sorrowful reflection.
Kuue left the room with a lingering step ;
he felt as if the mau who had allowed him
this glimpse into the feelings of his heart
must at once reverse this harsh decision
must repent of the consequences of his
animosity he lingered in vain. Slowly
he descended the staircase and passed
through the hall ; voices were new audi
ble in the room where he had left Elsbeth
alone, he recognized the tones of Cletildc
aud her mother ; but Elsbeth was silent.
Naturally, she was listening for his step,
and she concluded from it that he had
been rejected. Hastily throwing open the
deer, she came forward te meet him, with
flashing eyes and marble paleness. Almest
without volition he approached her gazing
down upon her with indescribable tender
ness. " I hoped in vaiu that I miht over
come strong prejudices," he whispeicd te
her ; "my last hope rests in the portraits ;
take your father at ence into the room
where I have placed them. Net se sad,
dear Elsbeth, let me sce once mere the
sunny smile that has worked like a mira
cle upon my whole being."
She smiled upeu him with tearful eyes,
as she said, "Think of me without re
sentment." Kuue, true te his resolve, was obliged
te hasten his farewell. He left the house
without bidding adieu te the two ladies,
who had been perplexed spectators of this
short scene. The Hofrath entered the
room, at this juncture ; he cast an uncer
tain glance upeu the pale countenance of
his daughter Elsbeth. She tremblingly
pened the deer of the adjoining apartment
and pointed mutely te the portraits that
were lighted up by bright sunbeam,
while all the ether objects iu the room re
mained in the shadow. The Hofrath went 1
up te them. She saw that his ceuutc
nance changed ; that his eyes opened
wide; his features twitched convulsively,
and that his lip trembled as he called out :
"My father! My mother!" Elsbeth
softly drew the deer te after him, and re
lated te her mother and sister what had
just passed, and what Kune had enjoined
upon her.
"If this attempt fails te propitiate our
father, Elsie," said Clotilde with lively
sympathy, " then you may give up for
ever any hope you may have cherished in
your besom."
The Ilefrathcn was silent ; she waited
in disquiet bordering en despair the result
of this evident outburst of emotion. She
waited patiently for a long lime. Nethiug
moved in the next room. Overcome by
anxiety the mother, at last, peered cau
tiously into the chamber. It was vacant,
and the portraits had disappeared. The
llefiath had left the room by another
deer aud had carried the portraits with
him. The ladies looked at oue another
auxieusly ; was this a geed sign ? Yes ;
the heart grown old and hardened of Os
wald Marklin had at last been touched
and warmed te its inmost corn by the
sight of the beloved forms that had
flashed out upon him like points of light
from the deep gloom of the past. Once
again his familiar fiend consistency stirred
within him, urging him te remain sternly
implacable, but finally his power of re
sisting his natural sensibility was broken
W't'i a i Ix-s'ng melancholy he abandoned
himself te a delight of a sight that had
leug becu withdrawn from him. Alene
with his portraits, up there in the room
that was sacred te him as the scene of his
mental conflicts, he gave himseir up un
reservedly te the power of memory. The
panorama of his youth unreeled itself to te
fore him; he saw himself bereaved of his
father, spoiled by the idolatrous love of
his uncle growing up in the splendor of a
high position and an old and noble name,
deeming himself secure in the possession
of a happiness net te be shaken. As he
grew up te eminence through bis intel
lectual ability his destiny seemed mere
firmly fixed; he was distinguished as the
heir of his uuclc, aud called by his name.
Then iu the full blaze" of prosperity the
care-free, happy man was struck te
earth as by a lightning flash. His very
soul shuddered within him as he recalled
the horrors of that period. Seeming be
loved by the most beautiful girl in the
Residence,heIding his illusions undispelled
in the tumult of the gay world around
him, he ' was suddenly undeceived.
The heartless coquette, te whom he was
openly betrothed, believing it wiser te be
come the wife of the elderly uncle than
thecxpectant bride of the nephew, began
an ignoble flirtation with the aged man.
She ensnared him also by her charms, and'
the old man who had dedicated his youth
te ambitions striving became week enough
te believe . that Ernestine veu Erxlebcn
could love him, iu despite of her youth,
and her beauty. O, these scenes these
terrible scenes I A thousand times, the re
membrance of these had poisoned the
peaceful hours of the man, who was new
sitting before the portraits bis parents,
contemplating them with all the deep fer
vor of bis real nature. Hew did it happen
that in this sacred moment, he could re
view with feelings se entirely changed, the
fearful experiences that had driven him
forth from his paradise ? that had dis
covered te him the nnwerthiness of his be
trothed, and the foolish infatuation of his
uncle whom -he bad believed faultless?
Hew came it, that he could review .with
inward satisfaction, hew he had boldly
revealed te his uncle the intrigues and
mercenary spirit of his bride ; hew en this
account he had contemptuously set her
free, and pressed upon his uncle the duty
et doing the same:' Why could lie new
suddenly leek with a smile of contempt
upon the felly of j the uncle who had cast
him off, hoping thus te secure te himself
the happiness of love, in the toils of a
coquettish young girl ? What had blunted
the sting of his resentment, the deep pas
sienate resentment that had always stirred
in him at the recollection of the unworthy
declaration of his uncle, that as the son of
a citizen he had only becu tolerated in the
family and counted among its members
solely outhe mother's account? Yes, a
compassionate smile at the pitiful utter
ances, which excitement, wrath and rivalry
had put into bis uncle s mouth, was new
all that followed their recollection ; for the
sunshine of affection had banished the
shadows of animosity, and the noble senti
ments of his cousins bad entered into his
life, at first as an alleviation, then with
the seething power of a moral satisfaction,
healing and strengthening. What a balm
lay in the love of his witc, his children
they had compensated him for all. The
fetters which love and habit had woven
about him grew stronger, as gazing upon
the portraits of his parents, he began te
realize hew fondly the human heart clings
te the memories of youth. He thought of
the .submissive trust, the self-denying love,
with which the faithful partner of his life
had steed by him, and he rose from his
contemplation of the portraits, te com
municate te her at last the history of his
youth.
Under the impulse of this resolution he
opened the deer aud invited the faithful
mother of his children te enter the sanc
tuary of his dreams. Putting his arm
around her he led her before the por
traits : " See, my dear wife, that is my
father that my mother, who lived te see
me at the university, my father having
died when I was nearly twelve years of
age. Yeu knew that my youthful hopes
suffered shipwreck that heaven preserved
me ou an island, that I might name the
isle of quiet happiness ; my tender affec
tien for yourself was the anchor that sc
cured my renewed prosperity."
Filled with present joy, the Hofrethen
embraced her husband ; it had rarely hap
pened that the man she loved speke te
her se mildly and tenderly.
"These portraits shall be for me the
symbols of peace," he continued in the
sametone. "They shall incline my heart
te justice aud goodness, when the old defi
ant spirit stirs within."
. With all the fervor of one praying for
the peace of the souls of theso who were
immortalized by these portraits, the Ilo Ile
frathcn approached them, raising her
clasped hands. She was praying for the
protection of the dead. It was net the sal
vation of a soul that was at stake, but the
happiness of a life en earth, if the stern
father's will should net yield te the per
suasion of these soft soul voices. Her eye
turned te the father of her best loved
child, her eye questioned, but iicr. lips
were mute. " I will refuse the benefits of
these Hnideks, te whom this gentle,
beautiful phantom mother belonged, but
from henceforth I will net reject their
esteem, their kindly feelings and their
sympathy. I shall ilacc no obstacle iu.the
way if they wish te visit me. I will grant
them the place they arc minded te fill, and
my blessing shall never be denied them."
An impressive silence followed the Ho
frath's declaration of peace, then a pleas
ant confidential conversation ensued, in
which was discussed all that might be ex
pected from the future.
In the evening the Hofrath brought
Kune into the family circle that had gath
ered joyfully around the tea-table. His
appearance was looked upon by all te be
the sign" of a coining betrothal, Kune him
self taking no pains te conceal his hopes.
The sudden and passionate love with which
Elsie had inspired him acted as a spur
urging him forward te the pursuit of
nobler aims than were common among
men of his rank. A tew weeks later he
repeated his visit te Nennenburg, this
time, in company with Oswald. Furtnne
attended him. Driven by his impatient
heart Kune surprised his beloved with an
impassioned declaration, even 'at the
moment of greeting, and as passionately
demanded the blessing of her parents, ou
the bend he had formed with Elsie. That
blessing was net withheld, although a
shade of pensive sadness llitled ever the
Hofrath's face, when he found himsf
obliged te trust his darling child te a
Haidek, but, thanks te heaven ! he never
had occasion te regret having done se.
His Elsie was net only her father's daugh
ter, she was also the child of her grand
mother, Mcta Yeu Haidek. This hidden
pride did net lessen her love for her father,
but it enabled her te appreciate the geed
qualities of a family with which she had
been se lately associated. This betrothal
gradually led te what, at first, had still
becu avoided by the Hofrath a peaceful
aud familiar intercourse between the two
families.
Weil for them ! after the trifling storms
encountered upon their sea of life, they
have reached the harbor in safety. m What
had appeared te them as threatening tem
pests, turned out te be the necessary means
of bringing them te their destined goal.
Even Cletildc's dream, by awakening 'the
slumbering energies of Elsie's soul, had
had its part in this development.
Well for them, wc repeat, for their
whole life until new, from child te the
youngest descendant, has proved most
prosperous and happy !
Less satisfactory are the latest accounts
of Felix Marklin. He persisted in his
false assertions and retractions of the con
fession he had made, and finally denied
even his visit te the Haidek house,
declaring the whele affair a base
plot for bis destruction. AH
proofs, all convictions, all confronta
tions, helped nothing ; with unheard-of au
dacity he wearied out the examining mag
istrates, and rendered new evidence con
stantly needful. Finally the trial came te
an end. The matter took quite another
form, from the subsequent finding of the
court physician. New that the murderer
was taken, his opinion was very different.
He found "that Madame Spalding's wooed
must have been inflicted by the hand of
anassassin, and that, fatally wounded,
she had with the last remnants of con
sciousness, seized the knife and drawn it
from her neck and besom where it had
penetrated ; hence the spasmodic grasp
upon is of her dead hand. On this second
declaration was founded the sentence pro
nounced upon him, net indeed of death,
but of " twenty years in the penitentia
ry." Felix Marklin actually outlived his
term of punishment. .Upen his return te
the world he gave no evidence of the
endurance of his exclusion, still less of
sincere repentance. He represented him
self as an innocent victim of justice, and
pursued his former unprincipled career
till death put an end te his
trickery, ana snatched the . self-imposed
martyr-crown from his brew.
Respected by . none, Iwanwtari by
none, his mortal remains were deposited
in their mother esrtn. ills neglected grave
seen fell together, notwithstanding the
beautiful monument and gilded railing
that marked the spot where he 'was. rest 7
ing from the troubles and cares of earth.
Te the living that pass along this for-i
lern, desolate grave, his remarkable fate
offers an impressive testimony of early re
tribution. Well for the dead that they 'remain un
conscious when obloquy and contempt are'
heaped upon their memories. .
