The count ordered those of his retainers
who had been so negligent or unfortunate as
to leave him alone in the storm into confine-

depicted to him the case with which such a

them.

CHATTER III.

The castle to which we have alluded in
our last chapter was one Of those old struc.
lures, seemingly built against time. All the
military art of that age had been expended
on IFS deitnces. There it lowered dark and
massive, and commanding as the spirit of the
age which caused its creation. The banner
floating gorgeously above its lofty battle
mcnts, spoke It's posSessor one of Italy's
mo powerful lords.
At the break of day, and before the coun,
had awoke in the cottage Of Perez, a band
came struggling up to the portal Of the cas-
tie. Their dress and irregular manner of
march showed that they had passed through
peril and fatigue. They were, indeed, those
very retainers of whom Monaldi had spoke.

Secure as they felt for the time, an ear
heard them. The sonnd of their voices had
awakened the count, and he listened to the
last words, which the lovers had uttered, but
establishment as well as weakness prevented
his speaking.
Ida and Roland parted, with hearts al
most half broken-for each apprehended the
trials which might await them.
1t is said that an unusual impulse given TO
the mind of the invalid will often wonder
fully aid in his recovery. So ii was with the
Count di Monaldi. Rage seemed to act like
an electric stroke upon his frame, and in a
few days he was able TO leave his couch and
once more stand among his vassals-a bat
tle-daring lord.

corridor, what doom does that one deserve

when cry, loud and long, swept through
the tempest and arrested his steps. He
shouted, in answer, but no reply came back.
The hunter fearlessly dashed forward in the
direction of the voice. His progress was
arrested by form lying across the path,
and, STOPPING down to discover the nature Of
the obstacle, he found human body, already
becoming stiff and cold. Waiting for n
flash Of lightning 10 reveal more fully the
condition of the sufferer, Roland had time 10
collect his thoughts and take short rest, so
much demanded by the exhaustion conse-
quent on his exertions. lie did not remain
long.
All persons have heard Of the sudden
changes in the elements among the mountain
regions of Italy. A flash of lightning fol-
lowed by crashing burst of thunder, was
the herald of an immediate hush Of the
storm. As if by magic, the clouds rolled
away; the blast died into a low whisper,
and through the upper riffs, still remaining,
sparklcd ont the silver stars, like angel mes
sengcrs telling of beauty and quietude.
Roland Immediately perceived, that, he
had fortunately come to the aid of an aged
person, who without his timely, and we may
say, Providential assistance, would have
shortly persisted. The thin grey hairs which
hung around his forehead, were moistened
with blood, and cash on his head, of con-
siderable length, although not deep, showed
that he had encountered great peril in the
TEMPEST.
The hunter Immediately applied to hi,
lips the common restoration of those frozen
regions. The cordial seemed to revive him.
but it was not until the flask was almost
emptied, that Roland was inspired with hope
Of his recovery. The sufferer was soor
able to sit alone, and at last, with the aid o.
the hunter, rose TO his feet.
Roland, giving the stranger his arm, slow.
" retraced his steps, until he gained tho
main path which led to the cottage. This
was easily accomplished, as the stars hac
now come gu, in all their full spcndor. Ye
their progress was painful, owing 10 the
weak condition of the benlghtcd.
But as all things in this world must have
an end (and this chapter is IA most notable
eaample) Roland with his friend entered, a
last, the door Of his humble dwelling.

Morning found the stranger quite restored.
The hunters provided him with their simple
fare, of which lie partook very heartily and
with many thanks. Yet the host and his son
were not particularly pleased with his man

both. AS old Perez was about the strangers

In few moments the noblenan and Ro-

leagues distant on one Of those peaks of the
Alps where the ancient feudatory chioltains
loved to entrench themselves. And now,
