was a handful of money worth wrecking
my life for2'
1t was strange speech for bride in
the first weelr of her honeymoon; but to
poor Princess Keretsenyi that one week
had seemed longer than a year
And well it might. Could single
living soul be doomed to eternal impris-
onment among the dead, that horrible
exile would iitly represent the life if
such it could be called) to which Made
leine found herself fettered without
help or hope of deliverance. The grim
old feudal fortress, with its gloomy tow
ers and crumbling battlements, its mil
dewed hangings, moth eaten tapestries
and pictures moldering out Of their
frames, seemed like vast tomb itself,
and the gaunt, gliding, spectral retain
ers who fitted noiselessly through its
huge, desolate rooms or along its ghostly
passages had the withered, gray, ifeless
aspect of dried up corpses. Their very
movements had a slow, mechanical
heaviness utterly unlike any motion of
living men, and more appalling to poor
Madeleine than even the death like APP
pearance of their faces.
But to the i'll fated girl the most terri
flying Characteristic of these human ma
chimes was their stony and unchanging
silence. They never seemed to speak to
each other; they never by any chance
spoke to her, and when she gave an or
der or asked a question they either re-
piled by signs or made no reply at all.
Whether they were actually dumb or
whether their stern master had forbid
den them to hold any communication
with her, she never, from first to last,
heard one Of them utter single word.
Amid this mute train Of specters one
might have thought that even the COM
partnership of her mysterious and terri
BILE husband--who at least wore human
face and spoke with human voice
would be kind of relief to her. But
the instructive terror which had always
underlain her girlish admiration of
Keretsenyi had now filed her mind so
completely as to leave no space for any
other feeling She could not forget how,
when they stood together before the
altar, the consecrated tapers that burned
on it suddenly went out Though not a
breath of air was stirring), and how her
old nurse had solemnly declared that a
glance from the fiery eyes of the terrible
bridegroom had made these weaker
flames tremble and expire. Nor had she
forgotten how Keretsenyi, when excited
by an argument with one Of her fathers
military guests, had darted at his adver-
sary look beneath which Col. De Malst
"a strong and courageous man in the
prime of ife-seemed to shrink and
wither Like paper shriveling in the fire.
What could he be, this man to whom
she had bound herself forever? This
man with the beauty of god and the

hind her could Madeleine tell that she
was not utterly alone, and there began
to steal over her o sense Of CHASTITY, freez-
ing isolation, OF having left human pity
and human aid far behind her, Of being
cut of forever from the living world Of
men, and in the power of beings to
whom light and life were abhorreat, and
whose home was the realm Of loneliness
and Of night.
All at once huge shadowy building
doomed up diInly in front Of them by the
faint light Of the rising moon. It was
more like vast tomb than any habita-
ton Of living men, for no spark Of light
was seen within, nor could the slightest
sound be heard.
Keretsenyi halted and blew a blast on
the horn that hung at his saddleboW,
loud and harsh enough to wake The dead.
And it appeared as if he had really done
so, for rs the ponderous gate swung
slowly and sullenly back the gaunt,
spectral retainer who stood, lamp IN
hand, within the black, tunnel like arch
way, his white, haggard face looking
doubly CHASTITY BY contrast with the
black velvet dress that be wore, did in
deed seem newly risen from the grave.
Silent and shuddering Madeleine passed
the fatal threshold, and as she did 50 the
dreary howl Of wolf from the encir-
cling forest was answered by the boding
shrek of an owl from ruined turret
overhead. 1t was her Welcomed fit
welcome indeed to such home!

chamber she never know, but once there
she began to feel {stlsntge as it may aT,
pearl more cool and collected than slle
had been Ence she first entered this liv-
ing grave. It seemed as IL the very
violence Of this terrific shock had strung
her nerves instead of paralyzing them.
The bold blood of the warrior race from
which she sprang was fairly up at last,
and she faced the terrible crisis with
that quiet, steadfast courage which Is
never wanting to any true woman In an
emergency great enough to call i. forth.
It was now that she noticed for the
first time q paper clinging to the folds OF
her dress. How it came there she could
not tell, but on reflection she seemed
dirnly to remember seeing something
slide down from the top OF the fatal glass

defending herself against man who

why this blood has been shed, that the
name Of Keretsenyi may not be soiled
even in thought by a charge Of vulgar
murder.
