For the next two months we heard
little from Amelia save her regret that
the count wouldn't sell US Schloss Lee

pierced her heart. Strange to say, she
was absolutely infatuated about the
castle. She rather wanted the place
while she was there, and thought she
could get it; now she thought she
couldn't her soul (if she has one) was
wildly set upon it. Moreover, Cesarine
further inflamed her desire by gently
limiting fact which she picked up al

that the count had been far from
anxious to sell his ancestral and his
torical estate to a South African dia-
mond king. He thought the honor ii

was excusable that Amelia should fall
in love with it all, under the circum-
stances; besides, she is largely in
fiuenced by what Cesarine says. and
Cesarine declares there is no climate
in Europe like Meran in winter. 1 do
not agree with fer. The sun sets be-

and a nasty, warm wind blows moist
over the snow in January and Febru-

However, Amelia set Cesarine to in
Quire of the people ct the hotel about
the market price of tumble-down ruins,
and the number of such eligible family
mausoleums just then for sale in the
immediate neighborhood. Cesarine re-
turned with a full, true and particular
list, adorned with flowers of rhetoric
which would have lelighted the soul OF
good old John Robins. They were al
picturesque, all Romanesque, all rich
~ ivy-clad. al commodious, all his
torical, and all the property of high
well-born Gratis and very honorable

scene of celebrated tournaments; sew
eral of them had witnessed the gor-
geous marriages Of holy Roman en-
perOrs, and every one of them was pro-
vided with some choice and selected
first-class murders. Ghosts could bt
arranged for or not, as desired; and
armorial bearings could be thrown i.
with the mOat for a moderate extra
remuneration.
We drove back from the first inter
view none the less very well satisfied
The price was too high, but prelimina

the count desired US to discuss ali de-

about these lawyers, and found they
