The vil lain Is dead, and you are with the most devoted of your servants." "Yea. ye," she said, and pressed his rm and shivered. "Is hereully dead?" "He Is dead. Ood have mercy upon him." said the bishop. ' Und you killed him?" '"I killed him.' If It were a sin, pray God fonrtve me." Vp through the window still rame the noise of voices and 'the stir of men moving; for they were recovering the "Ah! My Lord, Who Mode a lllshop of You?" body of th,e count from the moat: yet wither Owa nor the bishop noticed any lower what wa passing: he was Intent on her. and she seemed hardly yet her ielf ; 'but suddenly, and before he could Ir.'terpdse. she threw herself off the omen and on to her knees in front of him. and. seizin hold of his hand, lilted first the episcopal ring that he wore and then his hand. Fur he was both bishop and a frallant gentleman, and a kiss she gave him for each; and after she had kissed his hand he felt the tip of her eyelashes brush wet asainst his skin, as she bent her head over his hand. But he raised her hast ily, crying to her not to kneel before him, and, throwing away his hat. he knelt before her, kissing her hand many times. She seemed now recovered from her bewilderment and terror; for, as she looked down on him kneeling, she was halfways betwven tears and smiles, ud with curving lips but wet, shining eyes she ijaid very softly: "Ah, my lord, who made a bishop of you?" And her cheeks grew In an In stant from dead white Into sudden red and her hand moved over his head as If she would fain have touched him with i't. And she bent ever so little towards him. Yet perhaps It was nothing, and any lady who had seen how he bore himself, and knew 'that It was In her cause, for her honor and life, might well have done the same. The Bishop of Mortenstein made no Immediate answer; his head was still bowed over her .hand and after a while he kissed her hand again: and he felt her hand press his. Then suddenly, as though In alarm, she drew her hand away, and he let It go easily. But then he raised his eyes and met the glances of hers and he smiled; and Osra also smiled. For an Instant they were thus. Then the bishop rose to his feet, and he stood In-fore her with bent head and eyes thnt sought the ground in becom ing humility. "It Is hy (Sod's Infinite goodness and divine permission that 1 hold my sacred olllce." said he. "I would that I were more worthy of ft. But today I have taken pleasure In 'the killing or a man. "And in the saving of a lady, sir." she added softly, "who will ever count you among her dearest friends and the most gallant of her defenders. Is Ood angered at such a deed as that?" "Mny He forgive all our sins," said the bishop gravely: but what other sins he had In his mind he did not say, nor did the princess ask him. Then he gave her his arm and they two walked together down the stairs into the hall: and the bishop having forgotten altogether about his hat and his sword, was bareheaded and had no weapon In his hand. The count's men were all collected In the hall, being crowded around a table that stood by the wall: for on the table luy the body of Count Nit-kolas of Kestenburg. and It was covered with a horse-cloth that one of the servants had thrown over it. But when the men saw the princess and the bishop, they made way for them and stood aside, bowing low as they iKfcssed. "You bow now," paid1 Osra. "But be fore, none of you would lift a linger for me. To mylord the bishop alone I owe my life; ami he Is a churchman, while you were free to fight for me. For my part, I do not envy your wives such husbands;" and with a most scornful air she passed between their ranks, taking great and ostentatious rare not to touch one of them even with the hem of her gown. And they grew red and shiillled on their feet; and one or two swore under their breath Gilmore's Aromatic Wine A tonic for ladies.

The summer morning had Just dawned, clear and fair, so that the sun caught her ruddy hair as she mounted, In her white gown. But the bishop himself took the bridle of the horse and led it at a foot's pace down the hill and Into the town. Now by this time the news of what had chanced had run all through the town, and all the people were out in the streets, gossiping and guessing. And when they saw Princess Osra safe and sound and smiling, and the bishop in his shirt for he had given his cloak to her leading the horse, they broke Into great cheering. The men cheered the princess, while the women thrust them selves in the front rank of the crowd. ''i l li-'V' Bishop of iModensteln.and thanked him. offering to him all the demesne of Count Nlckolas; but the bishop woulJ not accept it nor any mark of the king's favor, not even the order of the Ked Rose. Therefore the king granted the ground In which the castle stood and all the lands belonging to It to Francis of Tarlenhelm, brother to the wife of I Vino Henry, who built the chateau which. -now stands there and belongs to the same family to this day. But the Bishop of Modi nstein. having been entertained by the king with great splendor for two days, would not stay longer, but sit out to pursue his Jour ney, clad nviw in his ecclesiastical gar ments. And Princess Osra sat by her window leaning her head on her hand and watching him till the trees of the forest hid him; and when once he was on the edge of the forest, he turned his face for an Instant, and looked back at her whore she sat watching In the window. Thus he went to Strelsau; and when he was come there, he sent Immediately fur his confessor, and the confereor, having heard him, laid upon him a severe penance, which he per formed with great meal, exactness and contrition. But whether the penance were for killing Count Nikolas of Fes tenbuig (which In a layman at least would have seemed a venial sin) or what else, who shall say? THE V.Sli. TIIF.KE WAS NO HASGEK. From Harper's Riizur. It was midnight.

Two hold bu l'K ll had entered the Bunk Madam, farewell. and blessed the bishop of Modensteln. But he walked with his head down and his eyes on the ground, and would not look up, even when the women cried out in great fear and admiration on seeing that his shirt was stained with his blood and wHh the blood of Ni kolas of Festonburg that had spurted uiwn It. But one thing the princess heard, whleh sent her checks red again; for a buxom girl glanced merrily at her and made bold to say In a tone which the princess could not but hear: "By the saints, here's waste; If he were not a churchman now!" And her laughing eye travelled from the princess to him and back to the prin cess again. "Shall we go a Utile faster?" whis pered Osra, bending down to the bishop. But the girl only thought that she whis pered something else, and laughed the more. But ait! last they passpd the town, and ! with a great crowd still following them came to the castle.

"Farewell, my lord," said Osra, soft ly; and she went hustily into the castle, while the bishop returned to his Inn in the town, and though the people stood round the inn the best part of the day. calling and watching for him, he would not show himself. In the evening of that day the king, having heard the tidings of the crime of Count Xikolas, came In furious haste with a troop of horse from Strelsau. And when he .heard how Osra had played at dice with' the count and, staking herself against the castle of Zenda, had won It back, he was aslramed and swore an oath that he would play dice no more, which oath ho faithfully observed. And In the morn ing of the next day he went to Feuten burg, where he flogged soundly every man who had not run away before his coming: and all the possessions of Count Nlckolas he confiscated, and he pulled down the cast! of Festenburg anil (Hied up the moat ithat had run round Its walls.

Hundreds of F el sons sulTering rom consumption have had the pro gress of the disease stopped, and have been brought back to life and health by the "Golden Medical Discovery" of Dr. - fierce. Years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, now chief consulting phyMcinn to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y., recognizing the fact that consumption was essentially a germ disease, and that a rem edy which would drive the germs and their poisons from the blood would cure consump tion, at last found a medicine which cured gS per cent, of all cases, if taken in the earlier stages of the disease. The tissues of the lungs being irritated by the germs ami poisons in the blood circulat ing through them, the germs find lodgment there, and the lungs begin to break down. Soon the general health begins to fail, and the person feels languid, weak, faint, drowsy and confused. This is the time to take Dr. Pierce's Cold en Medical Discovery; it drives the germs and poisons from tile blood, and lias a sooth ing effect upon the dry cough. In cases of bronchitis the "Discovery" is invaluable. "Golden Medical Discovery" increases the amount and quality of the blood, thus invig orating and fortifyingthe system agaiustdis ease and builds up wholesome flesh and strength after wasting diseases, as fevers pneumonia, grip and other debilitating af- icciions. Jno. M. Hitf, of Am- duboH, AHdtsbonCo.t la., says : " I took a severe ' cold which svttlitl on my lungs and chest, nnd I suffered intensely with it.
