said the baron, until your natural protector
is restored TO you.
The baron Intended to stay but few
moments, and spent long evening. He
was the talk of both mother and daughter
by day and night, nor did they think it off,
cions on the part of their new friend to call
every evening to see if,hey were safe and
comfortable. -, ,..-rr..t
You are right Leinau % said the duke
and flung the papers in Helmod's case
away angriy. - Monarchs are not half SO
anxious 10 be despos, as their subjects are
to be slaves. Would it not have been hor-
ribe to have removed this good man from
office, to have con6scated bis property, and
sent him to the mines for ten years for mere
forgetfulness, for expressing an honest opiD-
ion to few friends, or for publishing infor-
nation that was in every body's hands be-
fore? 1t did him no good before the court
that the secret correspondence was found
among your predecessor paper. He was
equally guilty whether he knew of it or did
not know of it. Ferach's eloquent paD-
phlet in his defence shall be printed at the

Il will cashier the venal tribunal" cried
the duke: Z" and form a new one, and
honest old Ferlach shall be at the head OF
it. The Chancellor Won Wandel mean

The old friends of Won Holmold's family
now came swarming round the house like
bees. One was very sorry that he hap
pened to be absent when they were in trou-
BILE, another was sick just then, the third
without dollar in ready money. the fourth
engaged by domestic Affections, and SO
forth. Emma had admirers in plenty, and
it rained invitations. The old lady was for
renouncing the acquaintance Of all her false
friends, but her husband dissuaded her,

Every one praised the dukes zeal in the
cause Of justice and innocence. True, ne,
one but Ieinau knew the whole story, and
that the dukes liberali,y was only to pay
llelmold for having been made the subject
of rather cruel experiment. The next
spring, Emma became the wife of the min
lister. And when the baroness Won Leinau
rode through the streets in her splendid
equipage, people said, "Ah. ha she is
pretty, no doubt. Ha! now we can see
through the whole thing The duke loved
the baron, the baron loved Miss Heirold,
of course her father must be acquitted, the
criminal court broken up, and poor Wandel
turned out, and Hclmold loaded with hon.
ors and wealth. wish had such son-in-
law I! Our duke is good ruler, but weak,
very weak He don't know what's going on ,
under his very nose. We can see all these
things plain enough. but he can't--such is
the fate Of princess" Thus the tables were
turned and every one blamed the dukes
severity and injustice as much as they had
formerly praised hm.-.N Y. Mirror.
