The carriage rattled ou its way for

"And you," inquired de Bierges.
"are you not coming with me ?"
"No; I will remain without, that I
may not hear the conversation that
will pass between yourself and the
pcrson who awaits you."
Armand, after a moment's thought,
walked bravely towards the jight,
and found himself ia an epartment
lundshed with exquisite taste. No
one was present, and at first he did
not know what course to pursue,
whether to seat himself or to remain
standing; but as a comfortable chair
stood invitingly near he sank into its
soft depths, wondering what he had
done to cause his arrest. lie had
never conspired, bad not wronged
any husband at least none that kue w

haps been in speaking lightly cf the
Republic. In turning to assume a
more comfortable position he saw a
magnificently embroidered skirt close
behind him; it lay upon the carpet,
.and raising it he was about to place
it on the sofa, when the door opened
and a woman appeared, shading her
eyes from the bright glare of the
light she held. Her hair was brown,
ond hung in loose waves upon her
shoulders, which gleamed white and
full beneath the transparent folds of
her peignor, which was her only cov
ering. She instantly recognize! the
young min, and both having met
constairt'v in society, the recognition
was mutual. For an i.-istant she stood

"Yes."
"The door of vour own bed- ham

"True."
"Again I question. Are you not
in your night dress ? and is not this a
singular costume in which to receive
a visitor, I may say a ceremonious
call, fortius gentleman is in ball at
tire ?"
"I do not deny the fact"
"Nor can you deny that it is three
o'clock in lhe morning; a strange
jtime to receive a guest aa ordinary
yi.'tvf."
The lady shuddered with sudden
fear.
"I sm paving no visit to the Prin
cess; I have not indeed, the honorf

ges.
"Your ingenuity may, perhaps,
suggest further civility of speech,"
replied the Piinx. with a sneer: "if

would think there was some snare

thought.
But under the circumstances such
a solutioa was not possible.

"In jt'.stiSca'ion ?" repeated the
Princess i:i a tone of suppressed
an.cer.
'Not s loud," resumed the Rus
sian. "Vour voice was low in tone a
moment ago when tete-a-tete with
this gentleman."
"Your word-? are an insult," repli
ed the lady, and throwing a white
cashmere cioak around her, she hid
her blushing face ia its folds.
"To hide your face gives no reply.',
"Nor will I answer such words,',
was the proud retort, as raisins: her
fcp, her dark lustrous eyes flashed
with indignation.
"You are wrong, madame, for I
acetis2 vou, and why ? Because I ar
rived home unexpectedly, it is true,
but I, nevertheless found you, my
wife, entertaining this man. Oh, do
not interrupt me. You have forgotten
your duty; moreover have created
a scandal in society, and my proud
name has become a by-word for fools
to sneer at. I am not deceived. I
know of your infamous proceeding
with this gentleman who is youv

while willing to commit the crime.
Yes. 1 know all that you have done,

"As to mvself, I will beg that the

cess, gently, her eyes turned toward
Armand in mute expression of thanks
in her defence.
"so you request Lim not to dciend

"I command him," was the proud
answer.

"Prince, I swear to you that you

"I had almost forgotten your pres

or have not forgotten my presence,"
continued Armand! "but this I do

eced ia silence, deeply impressed by
the dignity and devotion of the stran
ger whose sincerity was beyond a
doubt, and she quickly advanced t
ward4 her husband with extended
hands, r.nd a look of earnest plead
ing beamed from her expressive eye.
Repulsing her, Novratzin turnes
towards Armand.
"I only came, monsieur, to con
vince this lady." he said, "and now
she is convinced."
"Of what," questioned de Bierges.
"You are in love with Armand de
Bierges" madame," he continued, not
heeding the young man. "I can
prove my word by this." As he
spoke he drew from his pocket a piece
of ivory a haughty sneer curling
his lips. "Do you recognize this
painting?" he added.
The l'rincesa trembled and clasped
her hands in agony.
"What is it?" exclaimed Armand.
" No mystery," responded the
Frince, "simply your portrait painted
by madam, and which 90 closely re
sembles you that it is utterly impos
sible it should have not been painted
from nature, and far too perfect not
to have been accorded many sit
tings
Pale and motionless the lady stood
as though turned to stone.
"There is some magic ia all this,"
said de Bierges.
"The magic of love," interrupted
the Priia. e. "I have finished; there
will be do duel, no assassination.
You are at liberty, and still retain the
key of the secret door. As to yon,
madame," he continued, "we will
have no scandal, but you are also
free. " No one will see me come, no
one will see me depart. Moreover,
I will remain silent unless you wrong
me again, yet, I repeat, we are both
free. Adieu, forever." With these
words, Prince Novratzin retired.
"Is it possible you still remain : '
aid the Princess, raising her head
prouaiy.
I am going, madam, responded
Armand.
Yes but not before I am utterly
lost," sobbed the unhappy woman.
"Do not accuse me, madam. 1 am
guiltless of ail wrong toward you.
"Are you not here ?" she inquired
quickly.
"That fact 1 do not dispute, out as
I have already stated, I could not
avoid coming, I was brought to this
house."
"Do not add to your wrong, mon
sieur, by the baseness of a falsehood,"
replied the lady, haughtily.
"Can it be possible you don't be
lieve me? How cau I convince you?
I assure you on my honor as a gen
tleman, I did not know until to-night
that Your hotel has two entrances."
"And that key ?"
"Some one must have placed it in
my pocket"
""If I credit your words I am forc
ed to believe in the existence of some
plot against me, but why were you
chosen ?"
"I am utterlv unable to explain.
being &3 surprised as yourself; but
admitting that mv arrest and all T
have said, be a mere fabrication, you
cannot, at all events, attribute the
portrait to me."
"True,"' responded the Princess,
"but to that vou must not attach un
due importance. I will not deceive
you, I did paint the picture from rec
collection. I'o not atk me further to
explain, as from this night we must
he utrano-ers. We can never meet
a fain "
"Never ?" repeated Armand.
"Xeverl" was the low response.
"This interview must end at once
continued the lady, "and it has in
deed lasted longer than modesty can
endure, as you see you have surpris
ed me ia a" garb which ill becomes a
woman ia the presence of a man not
her husband."
De Bierges arose, intending to obey,
and ia his embarrassment advanced
towards the Grst door that attracted
his attention.
"Monsieur," exclaimed the Prin
cess, "that is my bed chamber."
"Pardon my mistake, madam, rnd
in truth, permit me to say, that I
don't know which way to go," re
plied Armand, with a shade of annoy
ance. Taking the lamp from the stand
the ladv crossed the boudoir rapidly.
"Come," she said, "I will light the
way."
As thev entered the hall the wind
blew the light cloak from her shoul-
ders.and through the transparent folds
of her thin drapery. Armaad saw the
gieara of her white and exquisitely
moulded bust and shoulders. Iu an
other instant the liht was extin
guished, and they stood together in
the darkness.
"Alas madam, I know not wberei

the unresisting hand within h:s own.
"The stairs are near you. she mur
mured iu a low voice. "Come and
quickly." Leading him she wended
her way down the long flight "The
door is just before you," said she on
reaching the foot of the staircase.
"Go."
"Yes, but how shall I open it?"
"You have the key."
"True, bat I should not retain it"
"When once out throw it on the
balcony," replied the Princess impa
;ient!y. He caught the intonation of her
voice and hurried out
Oa his return home de Bierges
vaialy endeavored to explain his sin
gular adventure.
The jealousy and anger of the
Trince appeared under the circum
stances but natural, but the sudden
lull of the tempest was difficult to
comprehend, and he retired towards
morning well persuaded that not
many hours would elapse before he
would again hear from the Princess
Xovralzin.
The next day and agwin the next
passed, but no news reached him: On
the third the first paragragh which
caught his eye ia the Figaro was as
follows:
"All Paris will be surprised to learn
that the Prince Novratzin has eloped
with the charming and the celebrated
danseose Zannetta, the pctil amour
of the theatre Ambigue. Novratzin
leaves a young and beautiful wife,
who deserves to be consoled."
Further on was the announcement
that the Princess Novratzin had ap
plied for a divorce.

To Americans who indulge gener
ally in a large use of water for drink
ing purposes, it will seeni rather
queer that ia 9ome armies soldiers on
their march could be forbidden to
drink water. Still such was the
case with the German army, especial
ly during the French campaign of
1ST0. The practice was, almost in
variably, when halting near water, to
st-.qi ail access to it by a guard, for it
was taken for granted that if the sol
diers were allowed to drink they
would chill themselves. It was
'through such a wrong notion that
