duty to see if he is one of these gen
tlemen."
"The devil take youl" cried the
Colonel. "These two ore my COM
rades-of the same regiment-and
the other is my friend, and none Of
US have any intelligence to expect
here at the gate at this time of night.
Let us alone. Drive on, coachmanl
Frederick cracked his whip and
drove smartly ahead. Without furth-
er molestation they reached the Hotel
de Polgone, where Rasinski lodged
with his two subalterns. Frederick
according to previous arrangement
was to remain there over night, while
Henry undertook to sec tho carriage
returned to its owner. Further con-
sultation and measures were to
be attended to as carly as possible
next morning. Henry got up early
next morning to look for Frederick.
His way led him down Castlestret,
as he was walking along pondering
over the occurrence of the night be-
fore, he brushed rather rudely against
a passer-by, seeming also in a great
hurry. Both mechanically seized
their hats in order to exchange their
polite apologies, when Henry saw
standing before him the very stranger
who was the origin of this mischiev-
ous affair.
None but a person OF the expert
ence and presence Of mind which
Henry possessed, could have kept his
countenance under such contreten,ps.
He apologised for his rudeness with
the greatest OF affability. The per-
son answered with equal politeness.
Henry scrutinized his countenance
to see whether he was recognized or
not. 1t appeared to him, as II the
stranger wavered. Suddenly the
thought darted into his mind: 3Per-
haps I may succeed in drawing oui
this fellow, and mako use OF him
against himseif?'
"You are stranger to me. it Is
true" he answered, "but still I think
we have met before somewhere"
1T appears just so to me, also,
said the stranger, with that express
sion of uneasiness which accompa-
MES uncertainty.
"By iovel now 1 remembor!' cried
Henry.
"Were you not in the garden at
Pillnitz, yesterday? Did We not meet
you by the fountain?"
"Truel" exclaimed the stranger. his
face lighting up with malicious joy;
Just so. But you were not alone"
II was with a travelling companion
whom I had met at the inn;' Henry
rejolned, In light tono. "We after
wards assembled the Porsberg to-
gether; but the thunderstorm seper-
ated us. Did it overtake you alsos"
"a little; but
"I had my full share Of IT," Henry
purposely Interrupted. I fell in with
some French offlcels, capital fellows,
who brought me into Dresden quite
late at night. / am just on my way
to them now, to thank them, as l an
somewhat in a hurry, be s6good as
to excuse me-"
"One word, pray you, before you
leave. Who was, may l ask. youI
companion in the garden?"

time ago I met him at Mannheim, and
then a few days since found him a.

Schmid's, in the garden this after
noon."
AT what hour, IL 1 may be so bol'
as to ask?"
-Four o'clock. Perhaps you woul'
like to make one OF the party; IL so
give me your address, and 1 vii
come and fetch you"
"YoLwouId oblige me very much
But allow me to save you the trouble

"On no account can do that! Blu
to decide the matter. meet me a
three o'clock at Soago's confection
airy. For the present I must take m,
leave. l hope l may soon have the
pleasure OF seeing you again"
Without waiting for an answer
Henry turned on his heel and made
down the street; but only for tn
purpose Of slipping into one OF tn
nearest houses and from thence t
watch the movements OF the ambig
ious stranger. As soon as he though
it safe, he followed him, determine
no. to lose the track. The gentleman
