When the Bohemians left the cas-
tie OF Rosenfels it was almost morn
ing. In the east the gray tints of
dawn were just percepuble. and
when the horsemen had cleared the
drawbridge they started Off at a
smart pace. They avoided the vii.
lage. taking a circuitous route
through the forest, and from all
their movements It was evident that
they had reasons Tor not exposing
themselves to the observation of the
Moravians. ~ saaias Il. -.
Moritz Kraunich did. not seek his
bed after his guests had gone, though
he had been up all night. He
thought not of fatigue, nor did he
think OF sleep, for HIS mind was
heavily laden with subjects OF more
Importance than mere bodily rest
When the Bohemians had passed
from his sight, he re-entered the cas-
tie and sought his own room in the
cabinet, and here he remained until
long after the sun had risen, engaged
In writing. His letters were most of
them to Vienna. He wrote rapidly,
with a bold, scrawling hand, and
while he wrote his countenance was
worked upon by strange and power
ful emotions. SO, .etimes, as he
stopped to read what he had written,
a dark smile would pass over his
features, and anon the brow would
contract, and the face grow dark as
night. When he had sealed the last
letter he had written. he rang the
bell that stood near his hand. and
shortly afterward man. all equipped
for journey, entered the apartm ent.

courier. 1 ucx ssssea 80 !

"You are punctual, aud that salts
me. Our business. you know requires
puncsuality.' sa 81 iza -
Yes, sir" returned Joseph, with a
low chuekle OF satisfaction. IF we
make much money by our plans. we
can AFFORD to be punctual." issWd
Kraunioh was evidently offended
by the vulgar freedom of the man,
but he seemed to think it not exre-
dent to express his feelings. This
master Joseph was superlative
scoundrel. as one might see by his
face but he possessed a degree OF
that was very useful to
his employer, and hence he was al
lowed some liberalities which might
not otherwise have been permitted.
It is always so when we place our
selves within the power OF those who
possess only shrewdness enough to
be villains. Let man once conceive
an evil deed, In the contamination of
which he needs assistance, and he
must give his secret to bad pian.

Dur master. Joseph seemed not to
realize that he had much power over
his employer, buthe did act as though
he knew that his employer had not
much power over time. r
Here said Kraunich, "are three
letters to be placed In the hand of
the archduke's ministers. These you
may deliver as soon as you reach the
capital
Joseph took the letters and placed
them In his breast pocket.
@Now, here are two more" con-
tinued KIaunich, producing two
etters from the small box that stood
upon the table, (which I wish you to
handle with care. You know where
.he old chapel OF Saint Mark stands.
near the mouth OF the Vien?"
Yes, sir"
"Well, next to that chapel, on the |
right, and nearer to the river, you |
will see an old building with sign |
over the door bearing the name OF
Martin Hergott. You see one OF |

will not forget it. You will be pref

You will know him, for he has but

"Let me alone for that, sir" said
master Joseph, as he took the letters.
