"I love Alice above all the world,"' he said to blmieU, and he spoke the truth. "I desire to oonsecrnte to her my life. I would brave unhesitatingly the Court ot Aa- slzee and the galleys to guarantee appeannces in favor ot the girl, so that it might be possible to create the belief that ebo belonged to me Intimately. Chance has decreed other- wise, nie arrival of Ijebel-Glrard has demol- ished my structure. Is it fault ot mine? Alice loves me as ardently as I do her. She can be happy, receiving inspiration of happiness from me. Henco, then, imable to become my wife, she most be my adored companion. She must elope with me, and to compel her' decision there remains a soUtaiy method. 'When im- possible to remain in the house, she will not hesitate to follow me.

The flames from two wax-can- dlos placed upon the cblmney-plece lUuminated the chamber. The young girl, seated, with an open book spread upon her knees, awaited his coming, pensive and ngitntiwi She quitted her seat upon witnessing the Count's entrance, and advanced towardsmm. Her laoe bespoke sad- ness, it not embanassmenL Her Inige eyes, with candid expression, evinced no uneasi- ness.

Nevertheless, it wss needful to pro- voke within him that intoxication of the senses Impelling to brutality In crime.

At thutiiAriiwA ollty of passports did not exist t>etween BeVr ginm and aernianr,nor between France and Belgium. The fugitives directed their course towards Brussels, and made a halt of two days in that city to procure indispensable articles. Inasmuch as they carried away nothing, Alice not even wearing gloves, while upon her feet were simply embroidered sllppeiB, used ex- clusively within dooia. These purenoses con- cluded, the Count and the young girl resumed their Journey and entered France by the way ot Qnlevxaln and Blanc-U Isserou. 'We are aware that, upon the very evening of the disastrous day of Alice's elopement, Mon- slmir Lnfnnn bnd started tor Pans In company with Lebel-Olrard. Immediately upon arrival, he hastened to the mansinn in the Bue de Bou- lognennd Inquired for Dc Nancey. The Connt's people replied that Iheir maflter, absent for sev- eral weeks, had given no notice of an approach- ing return, and that thny were positively wUh- out intelligence ccncemtog him. Doubting the sincerity of these replies. Monsieur Lafene em- ployed an Irresistible talisman, never failing to unloosen the tongues of flunkies—hs gave them golden ooto. In return for his napoleons, re- ceived with benevolent condescension, the gentry to livery proposed an elaborate examto- atlon ot the premlseB from'cellar to garret. Thus was supplied -torontestable evidence ot the nobleman's absence. . Two. paid' commissionaires, relieving each other, were enjoined never to lose sl?ht of De Nancey's dwelling. The one aimonnolnR the Count's arrival would receive tor his vigilance a reward of five hundred franca. The zeal In- jected toto the new-fangled policemen by this attractive prospect can be easily Imagtoed. Nevertheless, they watohed and warded to vain. It was Impossible to gain the promised recom- pense. De Nancey did not put to an appear- itnoe. In this manner a week rolled by. The agony and exasperation of Uonsleur Lafene Augment- ed hourly. "My Old friend," one day obaerved Lotiel-Gl- lard to him, "I begin to believe that we ore on the wrong tiack. it Is probable that this bri- gand of a Count is hiding with yonr voung niece in Normandy, at his Chateau des Tilleuls." "Ton may be correct," replied Alice's uncle. "I will visit Normandy." "And I win accompany you. Since I have thus for renounced my journey In Qermany, I mavas well ehare your wanderings to the end." The sad hope, still treasured by Uonsleur La- fene, of recovering the erringglri vanished upon his arrival at the Tilleuls. No one had seen the Count, nor could decisive totelllgence be glean ed through an examination ot the publication of the banns at the church or of the marriage-doc- uments registcrai at the Mayor's office for several previous weeks. In the village it was supposed that the marriage hod been celebrated elsewhere. The peasantiy of the TUlents evl- d intly acted to good faith in afiBrmtog De Nan- cey's absence. Moreover, the avenues of the pnrk,devoid ot ordinoiyattentlon tothelrmato' tenance, and the hermetically sealed bltods ot the chateau todlcated a deserted habitation. Uonslernr Lafene and Lebel-Oliaid returned to Paris. The Count had not reappeared, but a letter, postmarked in Qermany. awaited Alice's uncle. Madame lafene, unable to resist the anguish consuming her and the bitter sorrow undermining her system, had fallen ill. The danger of her slttiaitlon, even to a sudden fatal result Impeiatlvelv demanded the presence of her husband. Two hours after perusal of that letter, the exemplary merehant, so vnetohedly compensated for a life ot devotion, no longer cherishing the expectation of flndtog his be- loved Alice, sadly retraced his stops to Frank- fort, his spirit doubly bowed down and his heart terribly lacerated. 'Where, then, were to be found the Count and his beautiful companion, vainly sought after to Paris and to Normandy? Paul, as we have stated, entertatoed a strong conviction that Monsieur Lafene would poreue him, provoke him to a duel, and do everything tn his power to tear his niece from the Count's possession. Likewise are we aware that the young man, to the midst of his wfldeet escapades, guarded to- taot the eourage of his race, and would not re- coil froman encoimter. Nevertheless, at pre»- ent he was a fugitive—he would. If neoessory, have traversed the ocean to avoid oonfrontliig Alloa's uncle. Still he comprehended that to accepting as an antagonist to a duel an old man whose house he had dishonored he would commit an odiotis action, even to his own opinion. Conquered, he would degenerate toto a subject forndloule; victorious, be would be branded as an intamous soonndreL 'What, then, must be his rule of conduct, should he be to'sulted by Monsieur lAfenp—^should he receive a^ow from bis hand?

Finally, and after a brief lapse of time, the outside world to society ceased tronblmg themselves concerning him at all. Paul De Nancey took the greatest preoaa- tlons towards .guarding Alice absoli^tely from Farlalan curiosity. Did he conduct her to on open carriage ' aronna the Lake or ttirongh any of the-attiactlvB environs ct the great clty,.lt .was during the evening, whan the pale beams of the moon re- placed the strong light of the sun. At times he took her to the the- atre, Snt ever plsoed her to a haigitoire, whose soieen remained down. The young giri arrived, supported up- on his arm, her (roe concealed behtod a veil of thick laoe, and both quitted the roase be- fore the eloee of the periormanoe, fearing to be engolphed amid the' emerging crowd. The health ot Alice rapidly revived. The cbarmtng creature re- sumed by elow degrees a portion ot her prior Iniantlle gayety. Her aspect became less Bid, her smile loss melan- cholic. She was In her seventeenth yeor—she loved 'and was loved t De Nancey fonnd hlm- solf absolutely 1 aopy. This relative happi- ness, this profound repone, did. they not recall to his mind those hours of perfect calm preceding great natural crises — the equatorial tempf-sts which pass, and when passed leave nothing la, their wake?

He had ot her to a oowatdly and disloyal manner, and for her would unbesltottogly have yielded up his life. He would have Joyously outpoured all the blood In his veins could that blood, shed drop by drop, wipe away the tears overfiowlng hercountononce.and replace them vrith a smile uponherpallldlips. Alice understood that this sadness served De Nancey as a perpetual re- proach. She desired not thus to cause him suffettog, and endeavored to refrain from teare to his presence. Then came a day whereupon youth and love resumed their prior empire— teora sensibly grew of rare ocourrence, and finally wholly ceased. Is It to be eald that Alice was happy? No. Withto her life's web was woven a double grief, a double remorse. The girl reproached as a crime her tovoluntory In- gratitude towards relatives she lovsd. The young woman, chaste at heart, pious at soul, whose conscience hod never been ruffled by a profane thought, suffered everysense ot shame, every form of Judgment, upon perceiving her- self the companion of a man to whom Ood bad awarded no privileges over her. Her situation thrilled her with horror. Sometimcs.'Ukewlse, lasslon spoke more loudly than remorse. Alice ovtog, Alice beloved, consigned oveiTthIng to obUvIon, enwropt entirely to Paul, and reveled for the hour to that totoxloatdng atmosphere her lover's presence radiated around them. But alas I the Infatuation subsided, the poor child no longer reoognfeed herself. Disgust at her fail- ings seized upon her entire betog. She said to herself, wrtogtog her hands: "I live to shame, and shame Inspires me no longer with aversion. I discover attractions where I should experience repulsion. Ah I now. Indeed, I am lost!" And If, durtog such a crisis, theCoimt should rejoto her, she gathered courage to smile, ond thus to dissipate his affliction. CHAPTEB y, — A. Paul and Alice spent the entire Winter in this rustic dwelUng, perched, like the nest of a aoa* mew, upon thesummlt ot an abrupt cliff. Fora sole distraction tbo young folks had sight Per- petually varied andinternnlly novel, of the ocean, whose waves beat with the noise of a catoiaot the rock-elrewn base of the granite wall. They wearied not to contemplating, during the rage of storms, the massive struggle of the tempest- uous water against the Impeding dyke, which forcenturiee had stemmed Itslnland approach Thus passed, days appeared too short Alice was a beauty to be adored, with her gracious smile—saddened. It Is true—arrayed In the picturesque Breton costume, worn ss >a peasant to please Paul. The Count himself was dressed, as simply almost as the flsheia of the coast, to a jaclcet of coarse cloth, with capuchto hanging at the back, pantaloons of common stuff and huge boots with thick soles. This speoies of mnsquerading, far from deboa- log or vulgariztog, bestowed aH-eipresalvo hilarity upon his coontenance and mlon, notoi^ ally distinctive and elegant As to morality, he was unrecognizable. In him could be detected but tew traces ot the fast man, ellghUy osea up, ever on the alert for vio- lent sensaUons and new enJhCTmenta. The scep- tic had dtsappeared, theUberttoe existed no longer. HebeUeved himself tanyeanyonnger; he admired the beautiful, and put faith Ik the good. All sorts ot benevolent insttocts of gen- erous sentiments, of whose e risten i w he had previously entertatoed no susplolon, wereepon- taneously generated to his soul. Love had ac compUshed this miracle. Tee Paul loved Alice; he adored her with the full power of his soul, with aU the BtreDstta of bis heart. He loved her with an honert toyo. Even at the risk of being ohaiged as ^Intato- Ing a paradox, we retain the term, ^saffe*^ Hon for the oharmtog giri to iio wise resemblMl tbatunhealthy passion, thatdellmun to senBual- ism, he evidenced to presence of B'anolw Llrely. It was an affection of an absolutely different character—a burning devotion, and still almost chaste. PRul reepected the ytrung girt whUe adoring her. Blanche Lizely whfle bearing his name had been more of a mistress than a wife. Alloe resembled a wife more than a mtotccss. The pure and oharmtog iahgel Msignerite mer- ited a similar adoiatlon.

In nlooe of the anguish, of the sorrows, of a foolish and orlndnal enst- enoe. he would have reveled to the Joys of an honoiableUIe. of a legitimate passion, to detanlt of which nothliu; can exist save moral debase- ment shame and degradation.

On the exterior could be merely seen a gate between two pilasters, and It was almost Impossible for a casual pass- er-by to divine the location of the bulldtog. At the side of this gateway a small pavilion of red brick; framed In veinlculnted whiteetone, served ss the potter's lodge, while the stables and out- houses were concMled like the main bulldtog. "A most appropriate rest for Cupid rthought Paul. "Alice will be at home here." He went without wasling a mtoute, to the e filer's nctuy, whose address was given by the man in charge, and purchased the villa un- hesitatingly. On the next day an upholsterer— not Lebel-QIrard's suocessor—set about fum- IsUng the habitation iiinergeUeally, and accom- plished his tssk with that activity to be ob- totoed to Paris better than dsewhere in the world, provided gold be dispensed with equal llbetality. Before the lapee of a month the to- tamal decoration and the turnlahtog ot the honse In the Bols de Boulogne was thoronghly completed, the waidrftbes were fllltd with linen, tho'cupboards garnished with silverware: f )ur horses were munching their oats in the stable- mangers, while three perfectly new vehicles were ranged bansoth the oomage-sbed, ready to be rolled out Finally, a valet-de-ohambrc. a oooohman. a groom, a cook, a ohamber-mald and a kitchen-wonch awaited their new em- jployer, whom they knew not 'The real-estete agent had engaged them by virtue of their recommendations, and they ar- rived to asanme their respective functions all on the same day. De Nancey queetioned the more Important, was satisfied wi(h them, and armounced that on the morrow they would be installed toto the service of Ait vri/e. These people. Ignorant of the past, accepted the serv- ice as a matter of course. The Idea of being engaged to a fraudulent household never en- tered their mtod, and they addressed Alice re- sprctfully 08 "Mr.dame the ConnteFS." The flret time the poor girl heard hereelf saluted by a title to which she could lay no claim, to whiob, alas 1 she had no right, she ex- perienced on inexpressible sensation'Ol annoy- ance, and reddened even to the roots of her hair.
