REFUSED INFORMATION
OF COUNT OR CASTLE.

May found that my landlord
had got a letter from the count, di-
recting him to secure the best place
on the coach for me: but on making
inquiries as &c details he seemed
somewhat reticent. and pretended that
he could not understand my German.
This could not be true, because up to
then he had understood 1t perfectly:
at least, he answered my questions
exactly as II he did. He and his wife,
the old lady who had received me,
looked at each other in a frightened
sort of way. He mumbled out that
money had been sent in a letter, and
that was all he knew. When / asked
him II he knew Count Dracula, and
could tell me anything OF his castle,
both he and his wife crossed them
selves, and. saying that they knew
nothing at all, simply refused to speak
further. It was SO near the time of
starting that l had no time to ask
any one else, for IL was all very
mysterious and not by any means com
forting.
Just before was leaving. the old
lady came up to my room and said In
a very hysterical way:
Must you go? Oh. young Herr,
must you go?" She was in such an ex-
cited state that she seemed TO have
lost her grip OF what German she
knew, and mixed Il all up with some
other language which / did not know
at all. l was just able to follow her
by asking many questions. When l
told her that ] must go at once, and
that ] was engaged on important
business, she asked again:

PASSENGERS EXCITEMENT
CAUSE FOR SPEED.

When It grew dark there seemed to
be some excitement amongst the pas
sengers, and they kept speaking to
him, one after the other, as though
urging him to further speed. He
lashed the horse numerically
with his long whip. and with
wild cries of encouragement urged
them on TO further exertions. Then
through the darkness / could see a
sort of patch OF gray light ahead of
US, as though there were a cleft in
the hills. The excitement of the pas
sengers grew greater: the crazy
coach rocked on its leather springs,
and swayed like a boat tossed on a
stormy sea. / had to hold on. The
road grew more level. and we ap-
peared to fly along. Then the noun
tains seemed to come nearer to us
on each side and to frown down upon
us: we were entering on the Borgo
Pass. One by one several of the pas.
sengers offered me gifts, which they
pressed upon me with an esrnestness
which would take no denial; these
were certainly OF an odd and varied
kind, but each was given in simple
good faith, with a kindly word, and
bANSoAAbt AndA strange mixture
OF fear-meaninE movements which
had seen outside ;he hotel at Bis
tritz-the sign OF the cross and the
guard against the evil eye. Then, as
we flew along, the driver leaned for
ward, and on each side the passen-
gers, craninE over the edge OF the
coach, peered eagerly into the dark
ness. II was evident that something
very exciting was either happening
or expected, but though / asked each
passenger, no one would give me
the slightest explanation. This state
or excitement kept on for some lit
tie time: and at last we saw before
us the Pass opening out on the east
ern side. There were dark, rolling
clouds overhead. and In the air the
heavy, oppressive sense OF thunder. II
seemed as though the mountain
range had separated two atmospheres,
and that now we had got into the
thunderous one. l was now myself
looking out for the conveyance which
was to take me to the Count. Each
moment l expected to see the glare
OF lamps through the blackness: but
all was dark. The only light was
the tlickering rays OF our own lamps,
In which tho steam from our hard
driven horses rose in a white cloud.

FINDS LETTER FROM
COUNT AT HOTEL.

It was on the dark side OF twilight
when we got to Bistriz, which is a
very interesting old place. Being
practically on the frontier-for the
Borgo Pass leads from II into Buko-
vina-it has had a very stormy ex-
istence, and 1t certainly shows marks
OF It. Fifty years ago a series Of
great fires took, place. which made
terrible havoc on fve separate occa-
sions. At the very beginning of the
seventeenth century IL underwent q
siege Of three weeks and lost $4,000
people, the casualties OF war proper
being assisted by famine and dis
ease.
Count Dracula had directed me to
go to the Golden Krone Hotel. which
found, to my great delight, to be
thoroughly old-fashioned, for. OF
course, I wanted TO see all I could OF
the ways OF the country. 1 was evil
IDENTIFY expected. for when 1 got near
the door / faced a cheery-looking ell
Derby woman in the usual peasant
dress-white undergarment with long
double apron, front and back, OF col
ored stuff fitting almost too tight for
modesty. When came close she
bowed, and said. THE Herr English
man?" yes" said, Jonathan HRrk-
er." She smiled. and gave some mes
sage to an elderly man in white shirt
sleeves, who had followed her to the
door. He went, but Immediately re-
turned with a letter:

KNEEL BEFORE SHRINE.

Look! listen szek"'-"God's seat!r-
and he crossed himself reverently.
As we wound on our endless way,
and the sun sank lower and lower be-
hind us, the shadows of the evening
began to creep round US. This was
emphasized by the fact that the snowy
mountain-top still held the sunset,
and seemed to glow out with a deli
cate cool pink. Here and there we
passed Cszeks and slovaks. all in
picturesque attire, but noticed that
goitre was painfully prevalent. By
the roadside were many crosses, and
as we swept by, my companions all
crossed themselves. Here and there
was . peasant man or woman knesl-
ing before q shrine. who did not even
turn round as we approached. but
seemed In the self-surrender OF de-
votion to have neither eyes nor ears
for the outer world. There were
many things new to me; for instance.
hay-ricks in the trees, and here and
there very beautiful masses OF weep
ing birch, their white stems shining
like silver, through the delicate green
OF the leaves. Now and again we
passed a leiter-wagon-theo ordinary
peasants cart-with its long, snake
like vertebra- calculated to suit the
Inequalities OF the road. On this were
sure to be seated quite q group OF
homecoming peasants, the Cszeks
with their white. and the Slovaks with
their colored, sheepskins, the. latter
carrying iance-fashion their long
slaves, and axes at end. As the even-
ing fell II began to get very cold.
and the growing twilight seemed 10
merge into one dark mistiness the
gloom OF the trees, oak, beech. and
pine. though in the valleys which ran
deep between the spurs OF the hills,
as we assembled through the Pass, the
dark mrs stood out here and there
against the background OF late-iying
snow. Sometimes, as the road was
cut through the pine woods that SEEM
ed in the darkness TO be closing down
upon US, great masses of grayness,
which here and there bestrewed the
trees, produced a peculiarly weird and
solemn effect, which carried on the
thoughts and grim fancies enEerdered
earlier in the evening, when the fall
Ing sunset threw into strange relief
the ghost-like clouds which amongst
the carpathians seem to wind cease
lessly through the valleys. Some
SiHes tue Nils were so steep tnat,
despite our drivers haste. the horses
could only go slowly. / wished to
get down and walk up them, as we
do at home, but the driver would not
hear OF II. 'No. no." he said, "you
must not walk here: the dogs are too
nerce;' and then he added, with what
he evidently meant for grim pleas
antry-for he looked round to catch
the approving smile OF the rest-"and
you may have enough OF such matters
before you go to sleep" The only
stop he would make was a moments
pause to light his lamps.
