knowledge its power and influence. Nor

Here Mr.. Oswald seemed struck with
more amazemcnt than ever, and left
Ella by saying, "You are not yourself
te-aay, n,y child tomorrow, whom you
get over the excitement of the tourna-
ment and dance, Arwill talk to you
again"
Ella sat still for few moments after
her fathers withdrawal, and thon said
to herself "Oh, if augustus could have
seen me how eloqueutly / resisted the
authority of my father, he would love
me more than ever"
The pale and tender flower that she
was, she had realized her dream. If she
desired to have lover whom her father
disliked, her wish had been gratifed.
Napoleon, when hewept because thorc
were no more worlds to conquer, could
not have felt any stronger in his power
than did the delicate and resolute Ella,
in her self assurance of victory over her
father's'wiil.
But her father was not conquered.
He was only waiting until she recovered
from excitement to speak to her in
moro positive terms.
The next day, however, found Ella in
bed. The excitement that she had un.
dergone was too mudiI for her weak and
fragile frame to bear up under. For u
whole week she was confined to her
room. During the hottest moments of
her fever, she would scream out for Au.
gustus. She would say, "They will
strive to keep us apart but they shall
never succeed asy>
When she began to convalcscc, her
parents would leave her at times with
her maid servant One afternoon She
asked her faithful attendant for piece
of paper and pencil 1t was furnished
and although very weak, she sat mp iu
the bed sufficiently lorg to write these
words to Augustus
DEAR AUGUSTUS I am very weak
Am unable to write more than to beg
you to come to me as soon as you can
But don't let father see you. | will
have some one to watch out for you
and after l know of your visit, will be
able to fix some place for you to see me
Do come: Your own
ELLA.
This note was carefully incased in al
envelope, and given to the servant, with
directions how to get it of.
Fortunately for Ella, Osmond was in
town, and inquired at the Postofiice di
rectly after her note was mailed When he
received it, his first impulse was to fly tc
her Immediately; but when he reflected
if he did that he might thwart
some Of her arrangements, he took n
second thought aud concluded tha. il
would be best to go up to the house
stealthily, and find, if possible, Elias

he saw was the ore he wanted

make her discover his presence. This
accomplished, the news was very soon
heralded to Ella. Immediately he,
spirits seemed to brighten up. Her face
assumed a healthier color, ana nearly al
her strength appeared to return.
Through the medium of her trusty
servant, preparations were made for Os
mond to see her that night. lie wa,

Other knights wen. through the same

Other knights went through the same
ceremony; but none did it SO handsome
ly as the knight of the Black Plume.
Finally the happy party dispersed,
afterwhich a select number of tho crow d
retired to the house of Col.-, where
dance was to take place that night.
Ella and Osmond were among the
number. And throughout the entire
evening they were the observed of all.
But let us hurry on.
Before the dance was ended, Osmond
and Ella were engaged. The soul
of our hero seems to have been the di-
rect reflex of that of our heroine, and
vice versa.
They met and they loved.
Osmond took Ella home in his
buggy. And of course being the escort
Of his daughter, old Mr.. Oswald invited
him to spend the night.
The next morning the two lovers met
again, only to find their bosoms more
afamc with that love, the dawn of whose
existence had only receded one day.
Ella was not long in discovering the
fact that her father had formed an aver
sion for her lover Nor was she long
in disclosing the fact to him.
At first he was discouraged by the
intelligence but after receiving assur-
anees from Ella, that her fathers oppo-
sition should never change the current
of her being, he appeared satisfied.
After breakfasting the two vowed
eternal fidelity to each other, and Os-
mond took his departure from the
house that held all that was dear to him.
AS soon as he was gone, old Mr.
Oswald called Ella to his room and
told her that he was aware OF her at
tachment for Osmond, and that al
though he had been accustomed to in
du|ge all her wishes. vet he would not
consent for her to have her way in a
matter of such grave Importance
Ella listened to her father patiently,
and without any seeming emotion of
regret at the position he had taken in
the mntter.
All she said r'>s, "Father love Mr..
Osmond. and !. ne is the gentleman 7
| believe him to be, I intend that no
power, no. persuasion, no, not even a
fathers positive injunction to the con-
trary, shall keep me from marrying
him"
These words were spoken with such a
decided emphasis, and had such n
strange significance about them, coming
as they did from one who never put at
defiance parental authority before, that
old Mr.. Oswald was dumfounded tor a
few moments. Had an earthquake
opened under his feet, he could not have
been much more amazed.
For few moments he sat in silen co,
and then said, CELIA what is the matter
