he clasped his daughter TO his heart ere

"Oh, mamma" said Lady Felicie, Il
wonder so much at youi Title nor for
tune, nor forty fathers should have
separated me from Emile, so grand and
heroic as he isr'
The countess paused suddenly, and
leaning heavily against her daughter,
burst into a perfect passion of tears.
The stern pent emotion once finding
vent, it seemed that she would never
grow calm again. Felicie was deeply
alarmed. She passed both arms around
tho Keeling figure, kissed her franti-
cally, called her by every endearing
name, and besought her to recover
composure. Nothing seemed to avail,
until suddenly the idea occurred to the
daughter to feign alarm.
"HaTk" exclaimed she. "Oh, man.
ma, is not that NJ. Pierre, yonder?'
One great shudder shook the coun-
tess, and seizing Felicie by the hand,
she dragged her into the shelter of a
cluster of mulberry trees. She listened
anxieusly for several moments, then
cautiously resumed their approach to
the chateau. The little ruse had been
successful. They reached the balcony
in safety; stealthily followed the I'M
used corridor and gained the boudoir.
Hastily removing their wraps, and put
ting them out of sight, the pair sat
down, and assumed an attitude of care
less Incidence, as though they had re-
manned there through the whole even

you were reading, and then ring the
bell and order a flask of wine. / am

chair, her face as pale as marble. Lady
Felicie hastily obeyed her wish. The
maid hastily obeyed the command, then
said, timidly:
"Oh, my lady, have you locked out
on the lawn this evening? Jaques de-
clared there were dark shapes fitting
about; though, to be sure, they had
no spades nor lights. We are all sc

Foolish things-go say your prayers
and you will be SAFE" answered Lady
Felicie, to save her mother the ocea-
sion to speak.
The girl went off wondering at the
courage of the noble ladies' and quite

though her face was still pale. But she
remained with her head supported by
one arm, her eyes dropping to the floor.
Felieie crept to her side, and nestled
her hand into the chilly. listless fingers
that hung over the arm of the easy
chair They closed fondly over hers.
Still the girl dared not speak.
At length the countess turned and
fixed her mournful eyes upon the visit

She flung herself upon her mothers

old man was astounded. Indeed, he
was surprised. He was told that his
