But Madame Staubach did not recent t offer made to her. When Peter Stc-inmare told her that she was a loTie woman, left without guidance or protection, she allewed the fact, admitting that guidance would be go:id '! her. When he went on to tay that Linda also was in need of protection, she admitted that, also. ' She is in sore need," Madame Staubach said. " The poor thoughtless child." And when Herr' tininarc spoke of her pecuniary condition, reminding the widow,1 that,: were- fhe left without the lodger, the two women cou'd badly keep the old family "roof ever their head, Madame Staubach acknowledged it ; all, and perhaps went very suddenly to the true point by expressing an opinion that everything wild be much better a ranged if the house '.were the p opfr-' ty of Heir Sfeinniarc himself. " It isn't good that women should own houses," said Madame Staubach; "it should be enough for them that they are permitted to use them." Then Herr Steinmarc went on to explain, that, if the widow would consent to become his wife, he thought he could so settle thinsr, that for their lives, at sny rate, the house, should be in his care and management. ' But the widow would not consent even to speak of such an arrangement as possible. She spoke a word, with a tear in her eye, of the human lord and master who had lived with ' her 4br two happy years, and said another word with some mystical allusion; to a heavenly husband; and after; that Herr Steinmarc felt that he could, not plead his cause further with any hope of success. 4' Bat why should not Linda be your wife?-' said Madame Staubach, as her disappointed suitor, was about to retire. The idea had never struck the man's mind before, and now, when the suggestion was made to him. he was for a while stricken dumb. Why shou'-i he not marry: Linda .Tressel, the niece; gay, pretty, younsr. sweet as youth and pretriness and gayety could make her, a girl than whom there was none prettier, none sweeter, in all Nuremberg - and the real owner, too, of the house in which he .lived, instead of the aunt, who "was neither gay, nor sweet, nor young; who,' though she was virtuous, self-denying, and meek, possessed certainly but few feminine charms? Herr Steinmarc, though he was by no means living nutside the pale of the -Church to which be belonged, was; not so strongly given to religious observances, as to have preferred the aunt because- of he piety and sancity of life. He was not hypocrite enough even to suggest to Madame Staubach that any such f' eling warmed hi3 . bosom.' Why should not Linda be his wife? He sat himself down again in the armchair from which he had risen, and began to consider the question. In the first place, Herr Steimafc was at this time nearly fifty years old, and Linda Tressel was only twenty. He knew Linda's age well, for he had been an inhabitant of the garret up stairs when Linda was born. What would Frau Tressel have said that night had any one prophesied to her that her little daughter would hereafter be offered as a wife to her husband's penniless clerk upstiirs? lint penniless clerks often live to fill their masters' shoes, and do sometimes marry their masters' daughters. ! And then Linda was known throughi out Nuremberg to be the real owner j of the house with the three gables, i and Herr Steinmarc bad an idea that the Nuremberg magistrates would rise up against htm, were he to oner to marry the yung heiress. And there was a third difficulty; Herr Steinmarc, though he had no knowledge on; the subject, th ouch his suspicions were j so slight, that he had never yet men tioned them to his old friend the widow," tliough he was aware that he? had barely a ground for the idea, still had an idea, that ' Linda , Tressel's heart wns no longer at Linda's, own disposal. : , But. .nevertheless tb.e r monieotov pietior- Vhich,had been so sudden asked him was one which certninU detierved the closest consideration. It showed him, at any rate, that Linda's nearest friend would help him were he inclined to prosecute such a suit; and that she saw nothing out of course. nothing anomalous, in the proposition. It would be very nice to he the husband of a pretty, gav,: sweet-tempered, jovous vonnir if woukl be very nice to marry the heir ess oi me oouse, ana to become its actual owner and master, and it would be. nice also to be preferred to him of wh,oro. Peter Steinmarc :had thousl t as tiMj. true possessor or .uina s heart. If Linda t were once (his wife, Linda h 4ii not doubt, would be true: to him.i-In Mich case Linda, whom he riea girls ot twenty, and why should not he, Peter Steinmarc, the well -to Co. comfortable, and, considering hie.. . .I-Jfie; , good-looking t townee fc.. yi'.the city of Nuremberg? lie courd..,uot :brinr himself- to tll iii sue Staubach that he whiiM ins.er t is linections to her niece on r.i --cc;-siOti on which the nnnn li;.t ked.

' ' 1 r,. .....uc up u:s mina on hrst Uj.v the week, and .if. tl.rt end of th. week declared to Madame Staubach, that Lc- iLpuglit the plan io be a r-;od p!an. After that there was much y t; u;scussion before apy further step was takeD, and Teti-hfu was. quite eure that their

lodgcr was to be married to Linda's aunt. There was much discussion, and the widow, shocked, perhaps, at her own cruelty, almost retreated from the offer she had made. But Herr Steinmarc was emboldened, and was noweageriand held her to herewn plan. It was a good plan, anil he was ready. He found that" he could love the maiden, and he wished to take her. to' his bosom tit once.i For a. few. days the widow's heart relented; for a few days, there; came acrosa her breast a frail, foolish, human idea of .love and passion, and the earthly joy of two young beings, happy5 in eaeh-i .other's arms. For a w hi lei -she: thought with regret of

what 6he .was about td do, of the sac rifice to be made, of the. sorrow to be ehdured;of ihe deathblow td be given to- ihofe tlreains tf love whieh doubt-,-less;had arisen, though hitherto they -were no more than dreams. Madame Staubaeh, though ; she waa- now a saint, had" been"1 once a woman, and knew , as well as any woman of what nature are the dreams of love which, fill the : heart of a girl. It was because she knew them so well, that she allowed herself only a few hours of such weakness. What! should she hesitate between heaven and hell, between God. and devil, between this world and the next, between sacrifice of time and sacrifice of eternity, when the . disposal: of her own neice, her own child, her nearest and dearest, was concerned? Was it not fit that the world should be crushed in the bosom of a young girl? And how . could it be crushed so effectually as by marrying her to an old man, one whom she respected, but who was otherwise distasteful to her one who, as a husband, would et first be abhorent to . her? As Madame Staubach .thought of heaven then, a girl who loved and was allowed to indulge her love could hardly go to heaven. - Let it be so, she said to Peter Steinmare after her few days of weak vacillation let it be !so. 1 think that it will be good for her Then Peter Steinmarc swore that it would be good ; for Linda that it should be good for Linda. His care should be: so great that Linda might never' doubt the good. - . 1'eter feteinmarev'I am . thinking of her soul," said Madame Staubach. "I am thinking; of that too,": said Peter; "one has; you i-know, to think of everything iu turns." '? . Then there came to be a little difficulty as to the manner in which the proposition should be made to Linda Tressel. -Madame Staubaeh thought that it- should'- be first made by Peter himself, but Peter was of opinion that if the ice were first broken by Madame Staubaeh, final - success might be more finally achieved. : " She owes you obedience, my friend,' and she owes me none, as yet," said Peter. There seemed to be so much of truth in this that Madame Staubach yielded, and undertook to make her first overture to Linda on behalf of her lover. CHAPTER II. '-'Z Linda Tressel was a tall, light-built, active young woman, in full health, by no means a fine lady, very able and very willing to assist Tetchen in the work of the house, or rather to be assisted by Tetchen in doing it, and fit at all points to be the wife of any young burgher in Nuremberg. And she was very pretty withal, with eager, speaking eyes, and soft luxurious u-esses, not black, but of so very dark a brown as to be accounted black in some lights. It was - her aunt's care to have these tresses confined, so that nothing of their wayward obstinacy in curling might be seen by the eyes or men; and Juinaa strove to obey her aunt, but the curls would sometimes be too strong for Linda, and would be seen over her shoulders and across her back, tempting the eyes of men sorely. PeterSteinma.ro had so seen them many a rime, an I thoughtmueh ofthem when the offeror Linds hand was first made, to himHer fade, like that of her aunt, was oval io its form, and;her complexion was dark ; and clear. But perhaps her greatest beauty consisted in the half-, soft, half-wild expression of her face, which,: while it seemed to declare to ' world .that she, was mild, gentle, : for. the most part, silent, gave a, -.gue, doubtful promise of something, that might be beyond, if only her nature were sufficiently awakened, creating a hope and mysterious longing for something more than might be expected from a girl brought up under the severe thraldom of. Madame Charlotte Staubach creating a hope, or perhaps it might , be a fear. And : Linda's face in this respect .was the true reflex of her character. She lived with her aunt a quiet," industrious, sober life, striving to be religious with the religion of her' aunt.- She had almost brought herself to' believe that it was good for her to he crush ed." She haa quite brought herself to wish to believe it. She had within hef heart no desire for open rebellion against domestic authority. The world was a' dangerous bad world, in which men were dust and women something lower than dust. . She would tell herself, so very often, and .strive to believe herself when she did so. , But, for all this,", there was a , yearning for something beyond ". her present" life for so Jiethinif : that should be of the world, worldly. .V"hen 'she'-.heard profane ; xcuio : ;-lie weu'd .. long to dance. When she heard the girls ;.. laushiug in ,,. the ', public garden --he -would . long If o stay and lauirh witli thet-t. 'Pretty ribbons aud bright colored silks were a, snare to her. When she could shake out her curly, locks iu the: retirement . of her own little chamber, she liked ; to feel theta and to.know that they were pretty. ',' ' ' ' But these were the wiles with which

the devil catches" the soufs ofwoirien, and there were times" ""when she believed that the devil was making an especial struggle to possess himself of her. There were moments in-whiehr-ehe almost thought that the devil would succeed, and that, perhaps, it was but bf little use for her touarry otrany longrthe futile contest. Would it not be pleasant to give up the contest, and to laugh and talk and shout and be merry, to dance and wear . bright colors, and. .be gay in company with young men, as did the other girls around., her? . j As, -for those other girlsj their elder .friends did not s seera , on j their; ; account to ; be specially" la : 1 read!-of Satan. There- was Fanny, Heisse who lived close to them,, whorhad been Liuda's friend when they .went to school to: gether. Fanny di d just as she pleasedj; wfis always; talking with young men, wore the brightest ribbons that the: shops, produced, was always dancing, seemed to be bound by no strict rules on life; and yet everybody p.-.ke well of Fanny Ileisse, and now Fanny wa3 to be married to a young lawyer from Augsburg. Could it be the fact that the devil had made sure of Fanny Heisse? Linda had been very anxious to ask her aunt a question on that subject, but had been afraid. Whenever she attempted to discuss any point of theology with her aunt, such attempts always ended in renewed assurances of the devil's greediness, and in some harder, more crushing rule by which the devil's greed might be outwitted.!. : - . . , . . Then there came a time of terrible peril,- and poor Linda was in greater doubt than ever. Fanny Heisse, who

was to oe married to the Augsburg lawyer, had long been accustomed to talk to young men, to one young man after another, so that young men had come to be almost nothing to her. She bad selected one as her husband because it had beeu suggested to her that she had better settle berseif in life; and this special one was well-to-do, andig-ood looking, and pleasantmannered, and goodrtempered. The whole thing with Fanny Heisse had seemed to go as though flirting, love, and marriage,, all came .naturally, without danger, without i care, : and without disappointment. But a young man bad now spoken to her, to Linda 'had spoken words'" that - she did not dare to repeat to any one had spoken to her twice, thrice, and she had not rebuked him. - She had not, at least, rebuked him with' that with ering scorn which' th. circumstances had surely required, and which would have made hioi know that she regarded htm as one sent1 purposely from the Evil One to tempt her. Now again had come upon, her some terrible half formed idea that it would be well to give : up the battle and let the Evil One make free with' his prey. But, in truth, her heart within- her had so palpitated with emotion when these words had been spoken and been repeated, that she had lacked the strength to carry on the battle properly. How send a daring young man from you with withering scorn, when there lacks power to raise the eyes, to open or to close the lips, to think even at the moment. whether such scorn is deserved, or something very different from scorn? The young man had not been seen by LindaJs eyes for nearly a month, when Peter Steinmarc and Madame Staubach settled between them that the ice should be broken. Ou the following morning aunt Charlotte prepared herself for the communication to be made, and, when she came in from her market purchases, went at once to her task. Linda was found by her aunt in their lodger's sitting-room, busy with broom3 and brushes, while Tetchen, ou her knees," was dry-rubbing the polished board round the broad margin of the room. ? Linda," said Madame Staubach; "I have that which I wish to say to you; would you come with me for a while?" Then Linda : followed her ;aunt to. Madame Stan bach's; own chamber,' 4ud as she we nt there came over her .a gu'.ity fear. -' Could it be that her aunt1 had heard 'of the words which the vTmms"m;ir hit A nftnkpn tn fi.ir? : '" Linda,", said. Madame Staubach, sit " down there . ' m 1 my -chair." I i have' a ! proposition -;to make to - .you1 ,i;of -" much . importance, of very great importance. ! May the Lord grant that the thing that 1 shall do shall be right in .His sight! " -: " To make to: me, aunt?" said Linda, now quite astray as to her aunt's intention. She was sure, at least, that there J(was no danger about the young inau. ' Had it been her aunt's purpose to rebuke her for aught, that she had done, her aunt's ; manner; and ' look would have been very 'different would have been: hard,: severe, and fulh of... denunciation.. . A? it. was, Madame, Staubach almost ; hesitated in her words, and certaialy had-as-sunied much less than her accustomed austerity. i " I hope, LindaUtiatyou know that. I love you.

Whether I go hence' or remain here it will be proper that some settlement should be made lor you." The Ma dame Strubach naused, and Linda be gan to think that her aunt had on her mind some scheme about the house. When her aunt had spoken of going hence-orTemaimng here, Linda had not been quite sure whether the goings and remaintngs spoken of were wholly spiritual, or whether there was i any- reference! to! -the things worldly or i temporau Could it : be that Tetchen -wa vafter. aHy right in her 6urmise?
