young girl over the mirror-smooth surface
To the music of the Strauss waltz "Das Le-
ben elm Tanz" and under the glorious light
of the starry heavens they danced twice
round the circle of the pond. As Emma
again stepped upon the carpet Lobau said
to her; whilst return to Fraulein Won
Rohr my best thanks / shall also do myself
the honor of bidding her farewell, early in
the morning shall return to the Capitol "
''For pleasure trip, Herr Won Lobau!"
"No, for the future | shall live in the
Capitol"
.Ohr'-
"what is the matter, Fraulein Won
Rohr?"
Il am afraid twisted my ankle"
Support yourself on my arm"
''Herr Won Lobau l must stop one mo-
ment, must speak to you before you start on
your journey"
THAT is impossible, the train starts at Z
o'clock, and have much to attend to-"
Il must not keep my aunt waiting longer,
but beg to speak to you before you leave
Charlotterhof. Here lies my shawl" And
Emma unloosened the red shawl that en-
veloped her and let it fall to the ground
ride over on horseback and say to the
servant that you have found my shawl, and
wish to return it to me yourself"
81 will execute your command, Fraulein
Won Rohr."
In silence they returned to the carriage
tn which Lobau placed his partner, then
bade good night to Madame Won Herbeck as
though nothing unusual had taken place.
Emma's aunt was excited in the highest
degree, and as soon as the carriage doors
were closed asked if anything had occurred
to excuse this extraordinary behaviour Of
Lobau's. Emma kissed her aunt's hand,
and begged that she might be allowed to be
silent for the present. In the morning she
would explain all that she knew about it.
While thus speaking the hot tears fell upon
the hand she held in hers, and her aunt re-
mained silent notwithstanding her anxiety
to have the matter made clear to her.
The ladies had scarcely returned home
and laid aside their travelling wrappings,
when Catharine announced the arrival Of
Herr Won Lobau, who had found Miss En-
mas shawl, and wished to return it himself
to her.
''Dear aunt, said Emma before the tor
mer had time to reply, ''allow me to receive
Herr Won Lobau, will come Immediately

Looau breast was hiied with contending
eno'iohs. ohould ne tahe Emma manu-
anu confess 10 her all that he felt and sui
iered no; the bitterness and anger which
contehaed IN MS soul conquered, and he
said pohtely: am oohged TO you Tor
your KIND words, frauiein Won kohr, and
shan ever remember them-
His eyes, however, did not succeed like
his words in concealing the real feeling of
his heart, and under their tender glance
Emma blushingly turned her head away.
''Herr Won Lobau," she said again, look
ing towards him, Twill you answer me
openly aud truly one more question:!
promise 10 10 so.

"Well, then, had thought to remain |
here always. | was visionary fool. |
had given my whole heart TO a maiden with |
whose beauty and charms no other could |
compete. l felt that l was able to protect
and cherish her with the most devoted af-
lection. No rude blast should ever reach /
ny tender flower. But to man there is
yet one thing that is more to him than his |
lffection-his honor, That must remain /
1t will not endure the lightest |
stain. A breath suffers to dim its purity. /
To the woman who loves me my honor must
be thus sacredly held, not only on great
but in each moment, in every |
Itterance and expression. With deepest |
sorrow am compelled TO acknowledge that |
10 one it was not only an easy matter TO 1
,ffer me an unmerited insult but to aggra-
rate it by giving the preference to an ac-
simpleton."
"Herr Won Lobau," " replied Emma with a
ow voice. whilst she suppressed with diff
,ulty the emotions she felt. "you have not /
lone right to condemn unheard this Young /
,irl. You should remember that she is an
orphan who never received the tender. earn

character has been moulded by different and /
opposing influences. Heaven gave her /
