inquired for Alaric Orsa, lieuten-

quickly found, and as he met Ruric
his salutation was warm and cordial.
He was a young man, not over five
and twenty, and one of the finest
looking soldiers in the guard.
"Alaric," said the gunmaker after
the first friendly salutations bad
passed, II may have a meeting with
Conrad, Count Damonoff. He has

CHAPTER III.

That night Ruric Newell had
strange fancies while waking and
strange dreams while sleeping.
Long and deeply did he ponder up
or tho strange business which had
called Count Conrad to his shop,
and in no way, under no light, could
he get any reason from it. Why
he, a youth who had never spoken
with the proud duke save once on
common business and who was so
far down in the social scale should
have been thus called upon to give
o1irtual consent TO the bestowal
OF Rosalind Valdai's hand, was be-
yond his ken. He was but a poor
artisan; she a wealthy heiress and a
