Count Armin, in fact, had become a notoriety, so that the whole neighborhood throngedto see and pay their respects to him, the more eagerly, since the rumors had gone abroad that he was con- templating marriage; and no prudent parent. or, guardian could overlook the opportunity of securing so brilliant a parti 1401‘ the fair one under his charge, if it might. by any means, be attainable. The Count took 8.11 these oivilities in his cool, reserved, and sarcastic manner, without attaching the least Weight to them. The afternoon of the last day before the departure of the guests at the castle had come, the Lady von Sternteld had sent for the children to her apartments. and Ger- trude determined to spend one of the few leisure hours that her position left her in taking a solitary wplk in the park. , 1 “Why did Itpromiee you my band, do you mean ?"

" You released me, happily for us both; later, perhaps, I might hnve been obliged to come before you with the confession that I could not be your wife.” These last words were almost inaudible as they fell from her lips, but they expressed an infinite sense of woe.

Ger- trude stood before him ; and one who had been a. wit-mesa to the violence of the emo- tion that had racked this maiden‘s frame but a. few moments ago, would have been amazed to behold the composure and indifference w1th which she looked down upon him to Whom once she had plighted her troth.

Leave me on the spot. I will hem: nothing more 1” But even these energetically spoken words of command, that usually could hardly have failed of reaching their mark, fell powerless in face of a passion that deprived Eugene of reason or reflection. He threw himself upon his knees, re eating protestations of love in the same 3 owing, enthusiastiolanguagewithwhiohhehadonce wooed the young girl of sixteen. and which one year later Antoinette had listened to from his lips. This time Gertrude answered by not a single word, but with a glance of unutterable scorn, silently turned off and prepared to leave. This movement drove him to extremity. Beside himself, he jumped up, seized her arm and forcibly drew her back. With a. scream of indignation, Gertrude tried to free herself, but; this effort was not needed. Ah the very instant that Eugene dared to touch her,be fell back, thrust aside by a. powerful armâ€"Count Arnau stood between them. Gertrude, tootshrunk at Herman’s sud- den appearance, as though his movement had been directed against herself. She had retained her presence of mind in spite of Reinert’s passionate flereeness, but it seemed about to desert her now. and it almost looked as if she dreaded her pro- tector more then the aggressor. The Count noticed the manner in which she started back, and an expression of deep pain eon- trsoted his features ; nevertheless he planted himself before her in en attltude of defence, crossed his arms and quietly waited for further developments. . .... Eugene meanwhile had recovered his equilibrium, and new advanced toward him, white with rage, ” What is the mean- ing of thus, Herman? Why do you follow These two young; people moved along, side by side, as coldly and distantly as though, in reality, nothing but accident had brought them into a proximity that was mutually painful. Count Arneu preserved a. consistent silence. Gertrude did not lift her eyes from the ground, and yet. from time to time, his glance scanned her face with s. yearning, questioning look; and her breast, too, heaved ever more tumultuoust in the throes of an inward conflict that finally overcame her long-maintained re- serve. “ Sir Count!” He stood still, directly. “ Miss Walter 1" She was silent for one second longer; the words would not pass her lips, and it ev1dently cost her a. frightful effort, when she finally asked; Hi: stéalth, and intru'de u'ntorbidden into my affairs? Who gave you a. right to do this i’” The Count maintained a. rigid composure while these words were being spoken in a threatening tone, but there was 0001 con- tempt in the glance» with which he measured him from head to foot. >Ifi57§6£rd$ré to ask me why I had to integosefiere ‘5’” ~ ‘r‘riou have insulted me,” cried Eugene in an outburst; of fury, “given me a deadly insult, and shall either apologize or grant me satisfaction with a weoapon in your hand!” Without deigning a reply, Herman turned to Gertrude, “ Mxea Walter, you see that Herr von Reinert is not sufficiently master of himself to pay the proper respect due to a lady’s presence. May I ask you to leave us T” She answered by not a word, but silently accepted his offer. Slowly they went along the avenue ; already twilight she.- dows were lurking here beneath the lofty oak and beach-trees ; their tops were yet gilded by the last rays of sunlight, while here and there in the thicket a bird was dreamin twittering its evening song. She stood before him with a palid cheek and downcaah eye.

A single glance at he: countenance betrayed that, in spite of her apparent removal, she had been a witness to a. conversation whose tenor she must have suspected. Meanwhile, he made no ellusion to this whatever, but said, simply: With a long, earnest gaze the Count looked after her, then drew his hand arose his forehead and turned back. “ We are alone, what did you want to say to me '2” “That I am tlred to death of being dlctnhed to by you, and do not mean any longer to be treated like a schoolboy, or insulted without calling you to account. As to what passed between me and Ger- trude_â€"~it concerns no third party”. “ Never mind what you think of it. You; laid violent hands upon me, and hurled me” to the ground. I demand necisfaotion for ‘ this insult, do you hear. Herman; I demand it of you 1” The Count shrugged his shoulder. ” A duel between us. That would be more than ridiculous.” “ Hal do you refuse my challenge ‘2" -‘ Yes. That would be to recompense my grandmother’s hospitality poorly, if we should kill such other on her lani. Antoi- nette is too near to me; and let me confess it candidly, Eugene, my life and work are too precious to me. for me to be Willing to stake them against; nothing, just for the gratification of an idle whim of yours. I shill not fight." There was something in the iron energy, whereby this men forced back his passion, that put to shame Eugene’e unbridled rage, and was not altogether without its effect upon him. He stood still, probably {right- ened himself at what he had done; some- thing like penitence was astxr within him, and he made e movement, as though he would like to detain the Count, but it was too late, for Herman had already turned his back upon him, and left the plugs. “I must' entreat you to allow me to attend you to the house, else you run the risg of encountgzjing Herr von_B_1eine1:p." _ “ Ah, indeed?" The Coufit’a 'voice was still composed, but its accent were porten- tousfifor all thug.

The effect of this was something terrific. Every drop of blood torsook Herman’s face; his fists were doubled up convulsively, and for 8. moment it seemed as though he would rush upon his assailant and throw him to the ground, but his habitual self- oontrol came to his aid and even nowâ€"he drew a. long. deep breath, and let his upligtegl arm drop. Eugene é’linched his fist in measureless in“: ‘f HE’me 1°.“ 9’91." “No insult I" said the Count, lifting his hand with a. gesture of authority. “I should think that you had often enough had the opportunity of testing my courage.

There are forms whnse emptinees and hurtfulness we perceive, and yet we must submit to them. After what has passed between us, my honor is only to be maintained sword in hand.

No; this may not, cannot be 1” “ I know that I am asking a. hard thing of you, in begging you to keep silent and ~tremble, perhaps, when a word might put astop to the bloody encounter.

My honor new demands that this duel be fought through, undisturbed; I therefore require your promise to observe inviolable silence on the subject, till to-morrow at noon. Give me_your word upon it 1” He held out his hand to her; she had 18.111 hers in it, and he had taken it, but Ger- trude did not; know that her little hand trembled so violently in his, that he lets it drup again immediately. “ Do not tremble so," said he with cut. ting bitterness, “ I have the first shot and am [sure of my weapon. However horribly Eugene may have provoked me, I shall not forget that; I used to call him friend. He shall not expmte his fully with his life, although to be sure I cannot expect the same magnanimity on his part.” Without contradiction Gertrude had submitted to the reproach imphed, but: at his last words she raised her head in sud- den alarm. There must have been some- thing in her countenance that affected the Count magnetically, for a light; flashed into his eye, as he suddenly grasped both her hands and asked softly. but with a. wholly different expression from what he had ever used before : “ Gertrude, why do you hate me 9" The maiden gave a startâ€"e. traitorous blush suffused her eheeks, as she attempted to avert her head, but he wouid not release the hands he held. But this exaltetion lasted only for a. minute. Almost immediately she was stricken by a memory that laid its cold, icy fingers upon her heart,and the fatal sheet fell from her trembling hand, while she gazed upon it in silent horror, and then lifted her eyes aceusingly to heaven. Upon this paper had once depended the honor and happiness of a. whole familyâ€"then a. triekish accident had caused it to diaeppear utterly. Twice ten years had elapsed since then; the two men whom it immediately concerned had gone to their last account. and now the same accident had restored the lost. “ Heavenly Father 1 why must it be given just into my hand ? And Why now, just now?” N ‘7‘ From the beginning you have shown me open hatred, and yetiâ€"Gertrude, there must be an explanation now between us. What have I done to you?

Farewell?" ‘7‘ I trambié for my fife that I know to be threatened." The next morning rose clear and sunny. Count Arnsu and Her von Reinert were missing from the breakfast-table; but several times before they had gone out riding very early with gentleman from the neighborhood, the arengement having been made the evening previous. It did not occur to any one to attach any special importance to this circumstance, but on the other hand the Baroness Sternfeld was much worried, becauae Miss Walter had had herself excused on account of severe indis- pfifilllon. ’TlfiB’ Buddmâ€"eiokaouoLhmgovt erness came at a. very inconvenient time for this lady inasmuch as she. thereby. found herself under the necessity of keep- ing the children under her own supervision all day long, for the nurse and maid were both as busy as they could be making pre- parations for the next day’s‘journey. 1 u,-| Only a. few lines were inscribed there, and those obviously of a. business character ; but their effect upon the girl was electric. She sprung to her feetâ€"her face, awhile ago so pale, was now suffused with crimson, her eyes flashed in a. glow of triumph, she pressed the document to her breast with both hands, as though she dreaded its being snatched from her, and that breast heaved with a. deep, deep sigh, as though at that moment the burden of a whole life- time were lifted irom her. She hurriedly drew her hand across her eyes to ascertain if it could be an optical illusion that caused her always and every- where to see the name that now occupied her every thought ; but the illusion was not to be dispelled by aseoond look. “Herman, Count Arnau, "stood there on the yellow old paper, written in faded characters, it is true, but clearly and distinctly. For long years had it lain in its hiding-place, where it must have been lodged through an unobserved hole in the inner cover, upon the trunk being opened too suddenly. Ger- trude’s heed turned dizzy; she felt in- capable of grasping the connection: for she was still half stupified by the excitement she had previously undergone, and in this state unfolded the paper. ‘ Gertrude’s pride and self-commend had broken down completely. What she would not admit to herself in all this while, what she sought to deny to herself, even yester. day evening. the deadly anguish of last night had revealed to her. Although she had roused herself for a. last desperate struggle; although she had had the cruel courage to refuse him the word for which he pleadedâ€"it had been in vain. She would have liked to call him back, now. when it was too late. How icy cold had sounded his farewell; perhaps it was his last. Then, suddenly. the sound of horecs’ boots were heard in the distance. Gertrude hurried to the window, as she had already done so often in vain, when anything stirred below; but this time there was no mistake about it. Her eye had recognized the rider, so soon as he appeared at the distant verge of the forest, followed by his equery, Count Arnau gal- lop_ed_up. . ... ‘q This was too much, this sudden appari- tion of him whom she believed 1056 decided everything.

The British Admiralty are for some reason pushing forward the armored vessels which are building. and will have them completed at an early date. The mechanics are em- ‘ played on extra time. The greatest amount ‘ of attention is being given to the powerful twin-screw, steel-armored steamer War- spite, which is altogether an exceptional type of vessel. It is intended that she shall be the fastest armored vessel afloat. She is over 800 feet long, with a displace- ment of 7,390 tons. Her armor plating will be steel-faced, ten inches thick. and carried five feet below the water line. Her armor is laid on a ten-inch booking. with the usual iron skin plating, thus presenting a solid thickness of nearly two feet of steel, iron and timber against the impact of shot and shell. 5 Above the fighting deck will be a tower, protected by steel armor, while her weather deck will be ‘ protected by steel-faced armor. The arms.- ment will be unusually heavy, consisting of four 18<ton breech-loading rifles, besides the usual machine guns and torpedoes. The rifles will be capable of piercing six- teen inches of iron armor or thirteen inches 0! steel armor at a distance of 1,000 yards. She will also have a number of six-inch breech-loading rifles for effective work at a range of five miles. Her cost, when com- pleted, will be about $3,750,000, her hull and machinery alone costing about $2,500,- 000. This, together with the other armored vessels, will be completed during the pre- sent yesr. ‘ A last (Wednesday) night’s Quebec de- spatch says: A frightful death 'occurred here to-day. Philip Turgeon, a dry goods clerk, aged about 28, left his residence at 3 p.m. yesterday, in apparently good health and perfectly sober. He was brought home at twenty minutes to 4 in a comatose condi- tion, senseless and unconscious. His family, deeming him under the influence of liquor, thought it would bear off, and did not call in medical advice until 9.20 p.m., when a doctor was sent for, who at once summoned another physician. A consul- tation was held, but the efforts of the medical men proved of no avail, and the unfortunate man died at 6.40 this morning, never having recovered the least conscious uses. It seems that during his forty minutes’ absence from home deceased visited a tavern kept by one Tessier, where it is said for a wager he swallowed in rapid ‘ succession five glasses of whiskey and two of beer mixed with wine and whiskey. 0:: taking the last tumblerful it was noticed ‘ that the unfortunate man turned suddenly pale and fell senseless, in which condition he was taken home, as already stated. De- ceased was married. and leaves a young wife of 20 years and an infant of 16 months. Octave Lartie, carter, the party who wagered with deceased, and one Drouin who was also present and urging him ts drink, have been arrested as accessories to his death. The coroner’s inquest Will be held to-morrow. It has been ascertained that the tumbler used by deceased was what is styled a soda water tumbler, and that he imbibed about a quart and a gill of whiskey, besides nearly the same quantity of beer and port wine, all within the space of fifteen minutes.
