HouSt else tnan green plume and bIaCt
charger. He recognized IN him, wht
wore the one and rode the other, simple
Colonel Of the Bavarian Light Horse
MaximiIlian Joseph Eugene Beauharnoi.
The Duke Of Leuchenbprg, youngest child
Of the son OF Josephine (who was for d
brrf tune Empress OF France) aud of the
huguste Amelie, daughter of Maxmi lian
Joseph, OF Bavaria, an admiral and charm
ing cavalier, in truth but as far inferior
then 10 Marie NicalGwna, as a simple SOL
dier TO an Emperor.
"ls il possible" said the Car TO himself
as he sen, for the Colonel, with design OF
dismissing him to Munich.
But at The moment when he was about
TO crush him with word, hp stopped at
the sight Of his daughter fainting in her
cdleche.
"There is no longer doubt" thought
the Gar "'tis indeed he."
And turning his back upon the slupefed
stranger, he returned with Marie TO the
Imperial Palace.
For six weeks, all that prudence, tenn
pered with love and security, could inspire,
was essayed TO destroy the image oil the
Colonel in the hear, of the princess. At
the end Of the first week, she was resigned,
at the end OF the second she wepl, al the
end OF the third she wept in public, at the
end OF the fourth she wished TO sacrifice
herselfto her father, at the end Of the fifth
she fell sick, and al the end OF The sixth
she was dying.
Meanwhile, the Colonel, seeing himself
in disgrace at the cour, OF his host, without
daring TO confess TO himself the cause did
not wait Tor his dismissal 10 return TO his
regiment. He was on the point OF setting
out for Munich, when an ad-de-camp OF
the Gar came for him.
81 should have set on, yesterday" he
said TO himself; 81 might have avoided
what awaits me. AT the first fash save
yourself from the thunderbol,." ...
The bolt in reserve for him was the fol-
lowing He was ushered into the cabinet,
where kings only are allowed TO ENTER
The Emperor was pale and his eye was
moist, but bis air was firm and resolue.
"Colonel Duke" said he, enveloping
and penetrating him with his glance, "you
are one of the handsomest officers in Eu-
rope. IL is said also and biieve il true,
that you possess an elevated mind-ayho-
rough education, lively taste for the arts,
noble heart, and loyal character.-
What think you Of the Grand Duchess, my
daughter, Marie Nicol, nwna ~
This point blank question dazzed the
young man. il is time 10 say that he ad-
mired, adored the princess, without being
fully aware Of it. A simple mortal adores
an angel Of paradise as no artist adores The
ideal oi opauiy.
"The Princess Marie, sire =" exclaimed
he, reading at last bis own heart, without
daring TO read that OF the Car "your an
ger would crush me if told you what
think Of her, and | should die with Joy If
you permitted me TO say H."
"fou love her 'tis well" resumed the
Car, with benigDant smile; and the
royal hand, from which the Duke was
awaiting the thunderbo!t, delivered to the
Colonel the brevet OF General A id-de-camp
of the Emperor-the brevets Of command
ment of the Cavalry Of Inc Guards, and Of
the Regiment OF Hussars-of Chief Of the
Corps Of Cadets, and Of the Mining Engi-
Deers-of President OF the Academy Of
Arts, and member Of The Academy OF Sci
ences OF the Universities of St. Petersburg,
Of Moscow, OF Keasan, OF the Council, Of
the Military Schools, &c. All this, with
the title OF Imperial Highness, and several
millions Of revenue. .....
"Now," said the Gar 10 the young man,
who was beside himself with JOY, "will you
quit the service Of Bavaria and become the
husband of the Princess Marie |" The
young officer could only fall on his knees,
and baihe with his tears the hands OF the
Emperor.
"You see that also love my daughter"
said the father, pressing his son-in-law in
his arms.
The 18th OF July following, the Grand
Duchess was restored TO healih-to life
and the Duke Brauhornois de Lenchtenberg
espoused her in the presence Df the Repre-
seniaIiyes OF all the royal families in Eu-
rope.
Such an act of paterna love merited for
the Car and his daughter a century Of
happinrss.--iirayeD, which has lis secrets,
had ordered otherwise. On Tuesday No
yember 9th, 1882, The Duke OF Lruchten-
berg died al the age OF ihiny-fve-worhy
10 the last, Of his brilliant destiny, and lea
wing 20 Marie NicolGwns, eternal regrets.

again dispute the prize OF her hand bot
she has been too happy as vile to consent
