A pause eitiued. It was broken by
voice, ieard by all present, inquiring lor
Madelou's father. The dying g rl scream
ed with delight, and rushing towards the
window, fell fainting before she could reach
it. .
It was Ferdimand's voice ! Tliey pro

a sense of his emus, and his heart reverted
to the gentle Madelon, he hadVome to sup

his bride. The father of Madelun joy fully
welci med ihe penitent, and instantly ac
companied him to Madelou's chamber.
Uut, -las J theie she lay upon the ground,
pale and lo all appearance, lifeless; while
mitv ext-rlion was beiiiir made tu effect

made in vain. Tie maiden opened her
clear blue eyes, and glanced inqniiinglv at
all thus- w ho stood around her. v erdinand

a dream, then !" she murmlned, "Too hap

"Do not do not deceive me," 'cried the
girl, catching eagerly at lu r sister's words,

"Madelon!"
"Ah 1" shrieked tho maiden, "Ms no de

"Madelon, dearest Madelon I" exclaimed
the lover.
Tim next moment Madelon, was locked
in Ferdinand's arms.
