84elicerwalil. roll In a giadiiul resi-ent
to the bunk of the .Main.-, The t astle
was a magnificent edifice,' In the Ke
lialKsance style of course. Keil saml
atuiie and white marble had been used,
with a beautiful effect of color, for tlie
facade, which made a lavish display uf
pilasters with foliage and vine work,
niches containing statues, anil bay win
dows with beautiful wrought Iron Mill
ing. The castle stood in the midst of
u lovelv pui k tilled with trees a century
old which extended lip to the summit
of the hill Hiid down to the river.
The master of the castle liked a lav
ish style. He had Invited to his house
warinW numerous guests, to whom, In
the spurious apartments planned for
th purpose, he could offer a really
royal hospitality, at once mngniltepnt
and refined. They were chictly lamt
ewuers from the province of the Main,
rich merchants and manufacturers
from Frankfort, and acquaintances
from places still more remote, who had
Hocked here with their wives mid
trown children, - so that from parly
Morning the mansion had been tilled
Vitn Joyous life.
The entire company assembled for
the (list time at the banquet which took
place In the evening. The large diuing
liull. walnscoated with polished marble
in tlie style of the ltuliun palaces,
whose pulnted ceiling was supported
by tinted columns, was lighted by a
superb chandelier with hundreds of
wax candles, and contained a long table
very richly set. Silver ornaments ex
quisitely adorned the center and the
ends. The china, the array of glasses
nf ell shapes which stood beside each
plate, bore the Initial of the master of
the house, without any heraldic addi
tion which miffht recall tlie recent ele
vation of rank, a graceful bit of coquet
ry on the part of a man who had been
successful In life, but who was no up
start. At every plate, was also pluceil
a bouquet, In a holder representing a
crystal lily with a sliver cup. The com
pany' harmonized with the luxurious
environment. The married ladies at
tracted the eye by their elegant toil
ettes and rich Jewels, the young girls
among whom wore several of bewitch
ing beauty and freshness In simpler
costumes, with flowers In their hair, by
their natural charms. Kven among the
monotonous black dress coats of the
men, an eye which took pleasure In
color found some degree of satisfaction
in the gay uniform of several Bavarian
and Kussian otllcers.
The ' hostess, still a pretty woman,
with her wealth of fair hair and her
dear complexion, over whose delicate
transparency the years had pused
with scarcely a trace, hud at her light
an elderly general with numerous or
ders, who, being a great eater and a
Very poor conversationalist, feasted his
eyes alternately on his plate and on
the pretty faces, whispering to his
neighbor remarks about the viands and
the feminine guests, whose artless sim
plicity they consisted chiefly of a noun
mid a laudatory adjective showed a
profoundly satisfied and comfortable
mood. AJ her left sat a highly esteemed
friend of the family. Dr. Kergmann, a
young tutor In the Wurzburg univers
ity, who, during the past three yeurs,
had twice had the opportunity of sav
ins; Frau Von Jagerstleld and her eldest
duughter. In cases of severe Illness,
and to whom the whol family therefore
felt unbounded gratitude. J'.ergmnnn
was a handsome man, stll under 30.
whose grave manner made him apeur
somewhat older. A thoughtful brow, an
absolutely straight' nose, large gray
eyes, which on first meeting them looked
cold and penetrating, lips somewhat
large, yet 'well modeled, dark beard, aiid
a luxurlunt heud of hair which was per
mitted to wave, stand up, or He Hat at
will, were the individual features which
collectively formed a remarkably Inter
esting head. His manner showed a pe
culiar mingling of modesty, nay, tim
idity, and vigorous self-reliance. it
was evident that he was unaccustomed
to the drawing-room und large mm
panics. and felt at ease only beside a
sick-bed. He was rather awkward In
aimless chatter, but, on the other hand,
firm and clear in profesisonal conversa
tion A mere boy in the presence of a
talkative, pretty girl, but a hero und a
conqueror when with a suffering, anx
ious human being, beseeching his aid.
Ills left-hand neighbor, the wife of a
Frankfort banker, who chatted rapidly
about the architecture of the illuing
liall and the Wagner performances at
Hayreuth, received monosyllabic, hesi
tating replies, while he talked eloquently
and animatedly to the ludy on his right,
the hostess, upon the Influence of mod
ern nervousness upon social forms.
He paid little heed to the guests, nnd
had only glanced, at them carelessly
two or three times, bowing to acpuuint
ances, und, hastily obtaining a general
Impression of the strangers. At euch

So far as her ligure could be seen, while

without fragility, girlishly immature,

neck, was a marvel of grace und ele
gance, Instantly recalling the bust of
fiytla In the Krltish museum. One
involuntarily looked for the sunflower
from whose calyx It really ought to

mobile nostrils, so delicute that one
might believe them transparent: the
mouth not very small, but exquisitely
shaped, with thin lips, curving obsti

bitterly, but could also smile with In

round and statuesque, the cheeks
neither plump nor hollow, with a de
lightful play of tender lights and soft.
almost Imperceptible shadows ' over
their bright surfaces. Hut the most
remarkable characteristics of this
heud were the large blue eyes, deep as
the sea, beneuth long lushes and nobiy
foiioed brows, and the luxuriant, al
most golden-red hair, whose silken
wreath of naturally waving locks rest
ed above the brow in the bunds, like the
tcleamliig wings of some brlght-hlled
tropical bird, while the light of the

and a. powdery, glimmering sparkle,
us though her huir wus dusted with
irold or rubv nowdcr. Her sole orna
ments were n diumond slar in the hair
and an antique gold circlet on one
of her hare arms. The white dress
looked simple, yet Very elegant. The
eye of the most critical woman could
tlud no fault in the harmony of the
toilette, the coldest man could not avert
his gaze from the head which con
stantly called forth tlie two comparis
ons to a Ureek cameo, or a n'.xle, com
parisons which the. beautiful woman
was comnellcd to hear so often that
they Hcemcd unbearably commonplace.
The voung lieutenant a count who
sat ut her left hand, was probably whis
pering; something of the sort Into her
little ear, foe her face assumed a re
pellently cold, bored expression, and
her eyes were llxed dreamily on va
cancy, many times further away than
the earth from the sun, from her gal
lunt neighbor, tlie table, and the hall.
Her I'aco Assumed n Kcpellcntly Cold
Ixpicssiotl.
But llergmann's gaze must have fol
lowed her all this distance, for It sud
denly met hers, and the tall, grave fel
low flushed under her pensive glance.
The hostess looked at him just nt this
moment, and saw the blood mount into
his cheeks.
"What is the matter?" she could not
refrain from whispering.
He blushed a second time, even more
deeply.
Hut .Frau, von Jugerfeld had followed
his eye, and now suiil, smiling: "Ah,
your opposite neighbor!"
"Who Is the lady?" Hergmann asked,
with some little embarrassment.
'Doctor," replied Frau von Jagerfeld,
this time smiling, "taki) care. Many
wiiiKS have ulreudy been scorched by
her."
"Dmi't fear, nuidame. T can endure
flames somewhat better than a ninth."
"Come, come, a suspicious reflection
of fire is already discovered on your
cheeks."
A Shadow of anoyance flitted across
Herrmann's fuce. His hostess laid her
hand quickly on his arm, saying:
"Don't be vexed by a little Jest, my
dear friend. I will tell you who the
beautiful woman Is. She Is a (Sermun
Ameiican, and her name Is Mrs. Ada
Burgess. Young and charming, as you
see, the poor woman Is unhappy. Her
father Is the. owner of a gold mine
somewhere in Nebraska, and was re
puted a very wealthy man: at least he
lived In extremely hutidsome style In
St. Louis, and his duughter. who was
considered the handsomest girl in tlie
west, from the time of her entrance In to
society was the reigning belle of every
ball und entertainment. Mr. Hm-gess,
who eetn. o 'lave 1 een a handsome,
und elegant man, was her most devoted
suitor and appeared to be madly in love
with her. She dlil not remain insensible
to the persistent homage, nnd Hurgess
bore away the victory over numerous
rivals. Hut It now n,!?ears that he hus
a base soul and his muln object was the
dowry. There, however, he wus dis
appointed. iold mines, evidently, ure
not alwuys productive, at least Ada's
father was ruined by ills, und Ada did
not receive a penny. Then the comedy
of love played by Burgess ended. At
lirst he treated her Indifferently, then
harshly, and soon mutters became so
bad that she was obliged to seek refuge
from her Inn-Lund's uhuse in her par
ents' house. Her nerves hud been so
shaken by the horrible scenes which she
experienced, that your American col
leagues recommended a long residence
In Kurnpe for the restoration of her
health. She came here, and for sev
eral months has lived in Frankfort,
where the best society struggles for her.
You can iniugine a young and beautiful
woman entirely alone, whose husbund
is Invisible, dors not remuin uuassuiled.
Besides, there Is the American indepen
dence and confidence of manner which
Is often mistken for emancipation, and
by which a man easily feels encouraged
In ohort. serious attention has been
paid to her, and she lias seemed to ac
cept It. Then suddenly there came a
repulse and a rupture, which has al
ready resulted In Injury to several some
what delicately strung masculine
hearts. Moreover she Is very uneven In
her manner. Often gay, even reckless,
devising pranks like a spoiled boy, then
suddenly reserved, distant and stern.
True, she Is always Intellectual, so that
1 know many a man who Is uncom
fovtable In her society, to say nothing
of women."
Frau von Jagerfeld had spoken
eagerly in a low tone, with frequent In
terruptions when courtesy compelled
her to listen to the numerous toasts
which were chlelly proposed to her ami
to the master of the house. Mrs.
Burgess could not lonu fall to notice
that the two persons opposite were
talking about her, and she smilingly
shook her finger across the table at her
friend. x
"Poor woman," murmured Berg
man, "so bitter an experience at the
threshold of life But why does Bhe
endure her fate? It is so easy to be
set free in America."
"I don't know. Perhaps on account
of her children."
"Ah she has children?"
"Two;-and It- Is strange and touch
ing; to see how she rears them. Often
she treats them like dolls, and amuses
herself for hours by dressing and un
dressing them, dragging them around
the room, uml then suddenly dropping
them in some sofa corner, head down
and feet up. Then again, she talks
gravely and tenderely to the little crea
tures, and tries to instill good prin
ciples it Is too comical. But she Is a
delighted creature, oh, a delightful
creature " . .
The banquet was. over, honor was
done to the lust toast from brimming
champagne glasses, and the guests
went to the drawing-room. Several
minutes elapsed before the gentlemen
had escorted the ladies to their chairs,
and the arrangement appointed accord

groups. Mrs. Burgess hud dismissed
her lleiitenuiit with a somewhat curt
bow. and took her place before a beauti
ful little Menxel, which she examined
a long time. Frau von Jugerfeld und
Hergmann released themselves almost
at the sume moment, the former from
her old general, tne latter from his
bunker's wife, und uguln found them
selves side by side.
"Do you wunt me to Introduce you to
Ada?" she usked, quickly.
lie bowed silently, und offered his
arm. On reaching Ada, she lightly
touched her on the shoulder, white as
mother-of-pearl, with her fan, and
when the ludy, somewhat surprised,
turned, Frau von Jagerfeld smiling
pleasantly, suld: "My dear child, let
me present to you our best friend, Dr.
Hergmann. I must devote myself to
the rest of my guests, and, unfortu
nately, have not time to tell you all the
good 1 think of him. But you will disc-over
uil thut is necessary for your
self. You know, my deur, that you
are the two most interesting people
here. It is fitting for you to be to
gether." With these words she rustled
away to address a few kindly words
to the architect of the castle who was
surrounded by a numerous group.
Bergmunn stood before Mrs, Bur
gess, gazing at ner gi-aveiv and In
tently. The more at ease of the two,
she sat down on a sofa, and with a ges
ture of the hand. Invited him to take
tlie nrmchalr in front of It.
"Frau von Jagerfeld has talked of
you a great deal, and very enthusias
tically," she said, in a musical, Bome
what deep, resonant voice, which
thrilled his every nerve like theound
of hells, and as he bowed, she added,
smiling mischievously: "And of me to
you: I watched you at the table."
"Yes," he answered, "and enthusias
tically, also."
"She Is a kind friend, I know." A
brief pause followed, which she abrupt
ly Interrupted. "You are a physician
and in spite of your vouth.a famous
one modesty Is unnecessary. It is
strange I like physicians, and yet 1
fear them."
"Why?"
"Yes, why? I like them because
they are usuully earnest, talented men.
who have experienced much, know
much, and from whom new und re
markable things can always be learned.
I fear them because they have no Illu
sions." "1'erhnps that Is not always cor
rect." "Oh, pardon me; how Is a physician
to preserve any illusions, when he
knows human beings thoroughly, sees
thnt un emotion depends upon the
nerve of a tooth, a mood upon the de
gree uf moisture contained in the air,
and a chaructef" upon the healthy or
diseased stomach. You leave your Il
lusions upon your dissecting tables."
"What you say might be true If illus
ions und experiences came from the
same source. But they do not."
"I don't fully understand. Kxpluln
yourself."
"What you call Illusions are Ideal
images and aspirations, which origin
ate in the sphere of our impulses and
feelings, not In our sensible reusoning.
But tlie impulses and feelings ure
more elementary and more deeply
rooted, thought comes later and re
mains more on the surface. We inherit
our illusions from the countless gen
erations that have preceded us, our ex
periences we draw from our individual
lives. An Individual experience cannot
outweigh the Illusions of u thousand
ancestors, who form a part of our or
ganism. But, pardon me.l have caught
myself In the midst of u tutor's lecture
you see thut the impulse Is stronger
than prudence.".
"Ho you ask pardon for that? What
you say is so interesting. I suppose
you have a very bad opinion of women
since you do not think tliein capable of
understanding you?"
"1 do not generalize. Whatever opin
ion I might have of women, I should
not upply it to you."
"You understand how to pay com
pliments udiuirably. You ure not com
mon place."
He made no reply, but gazed at her
with so earnest a look, expressive of
such unconscious admiration and wor
ship that she Mushed, and with a ner
vous II utter of her fun arose. Herg
niuiin rose ulso, bowed und made a
movement to retire. Ada opened her
eyes in surprise, and Involuntarily a
word escaped her lips: "Why "
"I thought I was wearying you."
She held out her finger-tips, which
he pressed so warmly that she hustily
withdrew her hand. Oolng to one of
the three large windows in the druw-Ing-room,
she opened it and stepped
out upon the broud, projecting balcony,
which on the second story extended
along the whole front of the castle.
Leaning aguinst the balustrade, both
silently wutchlng for a moment the
scene before them. The July nignt was
warm, and tlie air wus stlrless. Not a
cloud appeured on the blacklsh-blue
sky, the stars were sparkling brightly,
and among them, almost at the zenith,
sailed the full moon. At their feet lay
the park, from which rose faint odors
of unknown wild flowers and the more
pungent fragrance of dewy grass and
leafage. Directly In front of the build
ing extended a lawn, with beds of flow
ers, on which the moonlight poured a
sort of filmy glimmering mist, which
grave the green grass and the bright
hues of the flower-beds a light, silvery
veil. Beyond the lawn, on all sides,
towered the trees of the park. Inter
sected by broad paths, through which
the moonbeams flowed like a gleaming
white stream between steep black
banks. At the end of the central ave
nue appeared the Main, flowing In a
broad, calm stream, with here and there
a noisy, troubled snot In the midst of
Its peacefully-gliding waves, where a
rock or a sand-bar Interrupted the mirror-like
expanse, and caused a rushing,
foam sprinkled whirlpool. Beyond the
river, amid the light, floating night
mists were dimly seen the houses of
a little village, In whose window-panes
a moonbeam often flashed, and at the
left of the park rbse the indistinct mass
of .the city of Marktbrelt, whose steep,
narrow streets were filled with shad
ows, while above jthe steeples and high
I
er roofs" the moon-rays rippled, bri rat
ing thera out In bright relief against
the dark picture. ?
