possesses enough OF his right mind TO
carry out the wickedness he has be-

"Yes. yes" responded Eudocia; she
will do that. Oh you know not all
his villainy."

know"
mo, for you know enough; but for
all his villainy he must be obeyed.
Oh, Johanna, my best, my dearest
friend, would to God l could help
you, even by the laying down OF my
life,"
Il bless you the same in your in
ability ;" murmured the poor maiden.
Il know your heart Eudocia. and l
know your love, and 1 am glad you
have come to me now"
For half an hour the two girls sat
there and talked and wept by turns,
and at the end Of that time, the baro-
ness laid her hand upon her daugh-
ter's brow and kissed her.
~Come, my child" she said, "you
must prepare for these fatal nupitals.
Time is fleeing swiftly away, and ere
long, Moritz Kraunich will be here.
We can hope no longer in old Roland. +"
~Oh, cannot prepare myself for
the sacrifice" cried Johanna. Let
him take me as / am"
ALAS Johanna, in the midst OF our
grief We must not forget to be wise.
You know the temper OF the man
with whom we have to deal. and there
can be nothing gained by moving his
passions more deeply than is necces-
ary. Come my child. let Us help you.

a more unhappy scene
The maiden listened to her mothers
entreatiss, an gradually she saw
their weight. ote saw that to excite
the anger Of Kraunich more would
only make her own lot worse, and she
allowed herself to be arrayed in her
bridal robes.
That was strange scene-those
three females there together-and all
of them weeping. They spoke only
in whispers, and their words Were
but OF sorrow and prayer. AT length
the great clock struck the hour OF
noonl Johanna counted the heavy
! strokes, and each one seemed knell
of death to her soul. When the sound
OF the bell died away among the dis
tant mountains the doomed maiden
raised her eyes to her mothers face.
She looked pale as mar BILE, and her
! lips were colorless. Another half
hour was spent by the three women
in sadness and sorrow. weeping and
lamenting the inevitable doom.
Roland has not come yet," at
length whispered Johanna, dreaming
ly and apparently alb bsent- minded.

Turn your thoughts away from earth
God can alone help you pow," said
her mother.
Eudocia bent down and kissed hel
friend. but she could not speak. She
saw that Johanna's cup was full, and
that breath might run it over.
Moritz Kraunich was true to his
word. He did not come himself FOL
his bride, but at the appointed time
