â€"“ If we could only have found a. trace cf the wife and child. Your inquiries at the time being fruitless, I have renewed the search with redoubled zeal, since all sour- ces of information now lie open to me, but in vain, They have vanished from the ‘etirtbfl ; “ They must have left the countrv. and ¥».l_mve probably perished in want, while He kissed the hand held out; to him, and left. the room. The Lady von Sternfeld laid herself back in her easy-chair, once more to revolve all those plans and hopes for the future which attached themselves to the marriage of this grandson, who had always been her special favorite, and who had, so “ She is the new governess of Curt’s daughters,” remarked her Iedyship, coldly. “ She 13 said to be quite well informed and useful, so that in a. short while the children have become really devoted to her. I enter- tain a. certain antipathy for her, because I am afraid that pride lurks beneath that quiet and civnl demeanor of hersâ€"a thing by no means to be tolerated in a. person of her inferior station." Herman said nothing, having good proof of his grandmother‘s sharp Blahtedness not balling fleogivgd her {nAthis case. Hie grandmother looked at him in some surprise, for this question seemed to her very irrelevant, when the topic of conver- sation was of such grave import. " Do {1011 extend your wall} too far today, Miss Walter; it is too hot for those little ones"’ " I shall not overfatigue them; for this time we shall confine ourselves within the limifigflof pherparlifi’r’ “ Who is tlfis Miss Walter?” asked Her‘ man, instead of making any reply, and with higfiyes still upqn the avenue. Herman’s bow was returned with the most perfect coldness and formality. Not the slightest movement of Gertrude’e fea- tures betrayed her recognition of him, as she again took the children by the hand, and prepared to leave the epartment. The Lady von Sternfeld remarked his astonishment. “ Ah, it is youâ€"Miss Walterâ€"Count Arman.” She stooped down to her grandvchildren and allowed them to kiss her cheek. Count Herman started from his seat at the sound of that voice, and with a look of Frofound astonishment, gazed upon the ady who had just entered the room, lead- ing by the bend two little girls, of six and eight years each. It was Gertrude, Rein- ert’s former betrothed. “ I am entirely of your opinion,” acqui- esced she, “ and am rejoiced to hear you express such rational sentimentsâ€"What do you wish, my love ‘2” asked she, breaking off her speech and burnipg toward the door. The young Count laid off these conditions of his fumre marriage with as perfect indif- ference as though he had been talking of the purchase of an estate, but this mode of looking upon the afiair apparently met hls grandmother's full approvaln " The .children wantedvto my good-by to yogr ladflhip before goigg put turwalk,” “ Much and at the same time little. First of all ‘she must come 01 a noble race; be wealthy, for I have noticed that poor girls, suddenly cast into the lap of fortune, are always drawn away into all manner of extravaganoes; and not strikingly beauti- ful, because I shall take no pleasure in constituting myself a. guard over herâ€"the test may take care of itself.’j “His grandmother nodded her head approvingly. .“What qualificamions will regulate you in your choice of a. wifeâ€"â€" What will you require in her ‘2" “I have long wanted to put a. question to you, Herman. Hsve you not reflected that it would soon be incumbent on you to marry, as head of your family, the sole male representative of the house of Arnau ?” He leaned his head upon his hand. “ Of course 1 have thought of this ‘2" replied he with indifierenoe, “ especially since I now appreciate the expedienoe of setting up an establishment at the capital and forming social connections.” “ Have you made your selection yet ‘2" No. I am not fond of ladies, as you know, and from my standpoint, judge it best to be regulated entirely by motives of experience. I shall not have much time to spare upon my wife, and, in her, seek mainly 8. fit representative of our house.” A moment of silence ensued, after which Herman turned around. His features were cold and tranquil now as ever: only a. dark cloud rested upon his brow. “The world! But I know that 1 am dishonored. I know the shame, the curse which rests upon my name and wealth; and this is the plague-spot in my life, of which I can never, never be rid. What- ever I atrlve after, to whatever attam to, this wretched memory thrusts itself in betweenâ€"like a grim spectre it pursues me I” His grandmother laid her bad caressingly upox_1_his arm_._ The lady’s {we showed how little content she was with this answer.

Hie grandmother, too, had become grave; but there was something like displeasure in this gravity. “ Snili the old struggle? Have you not conquered that memory yet ‘2" “ I-envy you it you have been able to. I can forget for hours, days, and weeks, even ; conquerâ€"never I” The old lady shook her head. “ You torment yourself wmh self-invented fears.

The world will never hear a. breath of it.” “ What ‘2” and involuntarily the lady‘s voice acquired some sharpness. “ Would you say that an artist's fame can out’weigh a. coronet worn by inheritance '2” ' “ N'o Iâ€"and besides, you know what 1'98.- son___I hays for keepingpy n_a.me purg.” “ I had hoped that Eugene would gain for himself a. name as an artist, which would have made this comedy of ennobling him superfluous ; but alas it has not turned out so." “Outweighâ€"Iio; but compensate for want ot it), in a certain sense, especially to one of so romantic a. nature as Nettie.” (TBANSLATED FROM THE V GEnMAN BY MARY HERMAN’S CHOICE 2 Come, then, pretty ‘maid, at once, Prove my jeglous tears unfounded ; Make me own myself the dance, All my gibes on envy grounded. ,161: one warning word believe : , Mind of man can naught conceive '80 uncunquembly tr ugh, in Human ken, as half cooked muffin.

Eugene maintained 81181106. “ Are you not happy, then ?" Reinert made a. movement of impatience. “ I do not know! She often torments me horribly with her whims, her jealousy, and then 1 have often enough to hear how much I owe her for all that she sacrificed on my aoeount.” An expressiori of infinite contempt curled Hermpp’g lip. “In your mouth they do, certainly. A person to whom life had brought only dis- appointments might speak thus ; you have no right to do so, you whom fortune has loaded with her favors.” “ And the needlul pleasure in it.” “ On my own accountâ€"the pleasure. too.

Of me no one ever exgaoted or predicted {81117193 He would have still hoped for a hand- some, interesting man; but the expression of his face, his voice, and whole bearing had undergone a change. Lsssitude, sati- ety, and ennui were only too plainly stamped there. The features, once so animated, now seemed languid, the medi- tative eyes dull, and indeed the whole appearance of this young man of thirty expressed dissatisfaction with himself and othersâ€"a feeling that betrayed itself in his tone, as he said, after the first matter-of- oourse questions and answers had been exchanged: The two friends had not met for five years, not indeed since Eugene's marriage, and these five years had not passed so lightly over him as over Herman. It was on the afternoon of the next day. Mr. and Mrs. Reinerh had arrived some What earlier than they had been expected. and been welcomed by Herman, who would not allow his grandmother to be dlsturbed in her accustomed noon-day nap. After the first salutations were over, then Antoin- ette had retired to her room, In order to lay aside her travelling suit, and her hus- band found himself teta-a-tcte wit-h Count; Arnau, in a small study adjoining the gar- den-hall. ' “Well, I shall find out how that is. To- morrow, at 3.11 events, they must meet, and I shall then see whether this closely kept segret will not betray itself.” The calm and collected Count Arnau for- got himself so for as no stamp the ground in fury. Why did she not go away without; leave, and rather resign her place than subject herself to such a humiliation as her meeting wibh Eugene would involve? Or did she still love him, and find herself unable to resist the temptation of seeing him once again? This 13le thought seemed to strike the Count as very surprising, for he suddenly paused and knitted his brow. “Well, that does overturn all precon- ceived ideesl Why, neither my grand- mother nor Nettie would give themselves such an air, and neither of them would have dared to say, ‘ Least of all do I want your interferenée.’ She condescend‘ed, as it; seems, to dismiss me from favors, and far, fulfilled her most sanguine expecta- tions.

The elder of the little girls had nestled up to her teacher, looking into her face with the most intense interest, s.s though she were drink- ing in every word that dropped from her lips ; the younger, kneeling on the sod and resting both arms on Gertrude’s lap, was also listening breathlessly. They formed a. charming group; but that was no longer the cold, serious governess, who had just now bowed so formally, and answered in such measured phrase. Warm es the golden sunlight that fell upon her face through the foliage of the tree was her expression now, and there was something infinitely sweet and lovely in her demeanor and tone as she stooped low to the children, telling them in soft voice about fairies and elvesâ€"something. indeed. that neither the Lady nor Baroness Von Sternfeld had ever happened to see. I “ It seems, Miss Walter, that you cherish a. strong personal dislike to me; once before, you insulted me just; as pointedly. I am sorry to have given you occasion to manifest it through my approach. Be cogfiorteq; i1; shallpeve; _hs.pp_en again.” Gertrudé’a lipa quivered, but. She gaRie no answer. The Count bowed slightly and movgg gway. But not much time was left him for observation, as one of the children Bud- denly caught sight of him, and pointed in the direction where he stood. Gertrude immediately arose and freed herself from the two’ children. A chill, as it were, passed over her countenance, beneath which all the life and warmth which had just now irradiated it seemed to expire. Coldly, gravely, and with perfect stillness, she avgaited the Count's approach. “ If you will accept of my intervention," said Herman, impulsively, “I’ll go directly to my aunt, and guarantee you the gratifi- oatig; 0! your wish.” Thét was plain enough. Herman bit his lip, gnd retireAdL “I do not know, Miss Walter, whether you Will permit me to renew our former acquaintance. I can hardly hope so. from the manner in which you have responded to mg greeting.” _ __ “As you choose; yet before we become as perfect strangers to one another, permit me to give you a piece of information, of which you are probably ignorant, and Whlch might give you pain, if you were wholly unprepared. Mr. and Mrs. Reinert are expected here tomorrow morning.” “ I know it.” ” You know it, andâ€"â€"” Herman’s eyes completed the question, which his mouth did not expressâ€"“ and you stay ?” “ You, forget Count, that I am in a dependent position. I have already peti- tioned the Baroness for leave of absence for a. few weeks ; but she believed that her children needed my oversight, and refused my request. _ I shall therefore stay." _ “ Thanli you, Count. Least of all do I Wigh your interference}: “YOE woufd oblige me, Count, if you would forget phat acquaipta‘nce.” Gertrudé’s oouutenahce haid turned a shad_e_ palerr, but was still ignmotlile. â€"A great London brewer, who is a. mem- ber of Parliament, anticipates that the falling off in the exeieeble liquor revenue will be far greater than is expected, but consoles himself with the belief that there will be a great reaction.

The Berlin papers seem to attach great importance to the fact that the Prince of Wales, a civilian, has been made a Field Marshal by a monarch of such strong military leanings as the Emperor. and to see in it a significant change in the politi- cal relations between the countries.

And with the same irresistible authority which he had been used to exercise over the young painter in former days, he now led him away, despite hls resistance. “ My dear Eugene,” and again the Count’e voice sounded perfectly composed, although its intonation was cuttingiy sharp, “ this stiff formality signifies the recogni- tion of your marriage, on the part of your wife's family, and surely you will not refuse that family the respect due them. Have the goodness to control your sensi- bilities, and follow me. My grandmother, the Lady von Sternfeld, is not aocustomed to being made to wait.’_’ With a passionate movement Count Her- man roused himself from his negligent posture. “1 should think that it were high time now for us to be going to Antoin. ette; she must have completed her toxlet long ago, and, if so, I must take you to my grandmother without delay. Come 1” “No, no i” cried Eugene, passionately, “ not now 1 After this meeting, in this fearful state of excitement. I cannot stand the stiff formality of such a. presentation. I cannot now!” "7 Oh, that is {1015 the child whom I once forsookl How beautiful, how incompara- b1}; pegmtiful she has become I” Eugene heaved a sigh of resignation. “ Dear ms, Hermann, you measure awry» hotly bf; your oWn standard.

I under- stand how painful this meeting must be to you both, but you see that she has tact enough to ignore you completely; and as for yourself, you can easily avoid her, since she must devote herself exclusively to the children, and seldom or never appears in society.” _ “ I know itl” said Herman, with quiet bitterness, “ and trust me, Eugene. I have often enough repented of having given this direction to your life. I thought that you ought to be freed from the cares and restrictions f every-day life, that your pathway to sine ought to be cleared, and therefore favored your marriage. You are right; it was a fatal error to judge you by myself. Yours is a. nature that needs incessant spurring; with the necessity for labor I likewise withdrew from your genius its nourishment; had I left you in circum- stances that would have compelled you to exert yourself, it would have been better.” “ Herman, what is the meaning of this? Was that myâ€"was that Gertrude Walter? Did you know of this? For Heaven’s sake speakâ€"speak I" Eugene. who had-stéod like 9. person transfixed through the whole of this scene. was the first to recover himself. It was, indeed, Gertrude, who stood upon the threshold. She knew, it is true, What meeting awaited her today, but still an interview here and in this presence found her unprepared. She, too, turned pale and made a. movement as if for flight, when her eye met Herman’s, that rested upon her face with an expression as though he would fathom the inmost recesses of her soul. The maiden’s foot seemed suddenly arrested: she drew herself up erect, and returned his look firmly and proudly. There was, in this movement, something nobler than pride,snd mightier than hate ; he saw it, as a. deep blush slowly msntled upon her cheeks and brow, while she sustained his riveted gaze, but her eyelashes did not fall. Thus they stood for a few seconds, eye to eye, then the Count turned suddenly away, and Gertrude closed the door behind her, moving past the two gentlemen, with firm step and perfectly composed mien, until she vanished within the adjoining apytment. “ You speak." said Eugene, testily, “ as though I had done nothing at all during all these years. and yet my portraits are admired and prized.” “ Because you are the husband of your wife. Since that; grand picture of Antoin- ette, in which you seem to have exhausted your geniality, not tune of your works has risen above mediocrity.” Eugene bit his 116. “Indeed. you are verypapdidfij Reinert drew back like one insulted ; his vanity would not submit to reproof, how- ever just he might feel it to be ; hence, he was on the point of making a. sharp retort, when Herman suddenly turned ofl, and gazed with eager attentlon toward the door that opened just at this minute. A triumph- ant smile played about his mouth. It was not in vain, then, thathe had led Eugene into this study, for he knew very well who must pass through here, when lesson hours came, in order to fetch away the children, who were now with their mother; this first meeting must a_.nd_ should be observed. Eugene, too. had turned his head, but all at once started back, turning dea.thly pale, and stretching his arms deprecabingly as though he had seen a. ghost. “ Gertrude I” he shrieked. Herman clinched his fist in repressed rage. “ Unbendingl I knew it I This irl is not to be humbled ; why, she almost orced me to lower my eyes before her." “'And you have forgotten how to listen to the Ruth.
