Enveloped in a light overcoat, ner- mann felt neither wind nor enow. Atlength tne Countess's car- riage made its appearance. He saw two toll footmen raise a Won old spectre in their arms, and lay her, all wrapped in fun, upon the cushions. Tho carriage door dosed, and tno vehicle rumbled off over the snow.

Her dress, of yellow silk, epangled 'with silver, fell down to her ewolleh feet, and he witnessed, nnwllllngly, her distasteful nlgbt toilet At length the Countess sat down in her night gown and cap. In thla cos- tume, more suitable to her age, she appeared less frightfol than in her finery. Like most old people, the Connteas was troubled with want of deep. . She caused bor arm chair to be rolled Into the embraaure of 'Uia window, and dismissed her women. Hie Ilghtswere an extinguished, except the one in front of the images.

Suddenly this death head became lighted with animation; the lips no longer trembled, the eyes began to brighten. Before the Oountees stood an nnknown man—It was Hermann. "Have yon no fear, madam," eaid Hermann in a low voice, and %mphaslalng hia words, "for Ood's sake, fear not I intend you no harm whatever. On the contrary, it la a favor which I come to Implore of yon." The old woman locked at him in alienee, as if she nnderstood him' not Thinking her deaf, he bent over to her ear, and re- peated his words, lull she remained silent "Tou have it in your power," said Hermann, to Insnie the happlneas of my life, at no coet to yourself.

After tho ceremonies, the relatives, friends, and servants ftassod In procession to take a last look at the body, Hermann h his turn approached. He kndt a moment, bealda the bier. Then, pale as death, be bent over tbe dead body. ' Buddenly, it struck him that the eyaaof the dead winked at him in mooiery. He started backward, and', fell his foil leiigth. The attendants hastened to raise him. "That yonng officer was an Illegitimate son of the Countess," 'was heard remarked. AU that day Hermann was a prey to extraordlnary'nneaslness. In the imfiequented restaurant where- be took hla mods, he drank, contrary to his bsblts; in hope of deadening hia reel- lesineas; bnt tbe wine only inflamed bis imagination, and gave new life to the ideas whloh bod occupied bis mind.

"I come to you against my win," she said firmly. "I am bound to comply-with vour prayer; 8,7, ace, willwu for yon, one after another; play out ono card in twenty-fotushours; but after that, never play more." At theae vrords ahe tamed toward tbe door, and disappeared, dragging her ellppered feet over the floor. A moment after, a white flgnre passed along tho street, atoppldg at the window aa if to look In upon him, . Hermann remained some time thnndeistmok, then got np and entered tbe ante-obamber.

He conld not believe bis eyes, nor under- stand how he conld have erred. With eyes riveted upon the fatal card, it seemed as if the qneen of clubs winked and smiled in mockery at him. He recognized with horror a resemblance between tbe queen and the countess. ■'Accarsed bag 1" he cried, in affright With one sweep of his baton TdiekaUnski gathered bis winnings.
