4 nance of her who was soon to be los
d to him forever, and added, in
e hoarse voice, Do you remember tn
9 last deed we sigued in this man
4 presence?'
t Perfectly replied Les.elle; 'an'
! it is that recollection which gives M
!, strength to act as ! am doing
r Aubertin bent down his head, ant
q hot tear fell upon t thejparchment
f but there were no tra tes of it as he
t returned the document, with a low
bow, to the trembling girl
n You are obeyed,- mademOiselle!
: said he, with mocking smile, as he
moved rapidly towards the door.
j The white lips of LestelIe moved
4 fast, but they uttered no sound. She
/ attempted to rush forward aud ar
+ rest his progress, and her feet seemed
/ glued to the floor; but NJ. Dumont
u hderstood her wishes, and FASTENED
af ter the offended Aubertin,
! well, / new Ver could have believed
it r-sq attached as they seemed to
each sother!' said young citizen
I'D his companion, De Tours -the
sa me- aristocratic count, who, buta
| short time before, would scarcely
Hhd veicondescended to breathe the
sa me air as his plebeian friend, but
! whom proper regard for his own
safety had conformed to the equalling
spirit of the al se.
'Iialways tpld you how it W ould
end said De Tours; 'the romance
of the young heiress has had time
to cool, and she seizcs the fist /
opportunity that presents itself Of
becoming free again??'
And poor Aubertin, what has be-
com4 of him?' /
'Why, they say be takes it very
much TO heart; and no wonder, sect

beautiful than ever
fAt this moment. they were in ter,
terlupted by the entrance of Cla ude
Aubertin himself, with Lestelle lean
ing on his arm, or rather clinging,
III her sweet. graceful manner, W bile
her bright eyes sparkled with hap
piness as she listened with flushed !,
cheek to the whispered accents of
her husband, on whose countenance .
a smile of triumphant exultation min
gled with deep love,
what's this?' inquired De Tours !,
Of a person who stood near him, and
who happened to be the little notary, :
H. Dumont; i thought that the l
Aubertins had availed themselves Of Il

And so they were, and married : :
lgain this morning. said the notary, =,
With d knowing twinkle of his cold,
grey eyes. 4
How strange!' said De Tours. 4
Not at all: according to the. first a

led up by her guardian, that with .
