Conrad hastened to the spot, and with both arms embraced her. as if he would impart new vitality into her system. My God!' exclaimed the count, 'what j Iras occurred here? Has jealousy robbed the poor girl of her reason?' At this moment the door was opened, and the town wiagis'.rate, followed bv his nephew Eberhard, entered the room. A solemn pause of surprise and terror reigned for a moment in the apartment. Mary still lay lifeb ss in Conrad's arms. What do I see?' at length exclaimed Valentine. 'This man still here? And you, count.' he added with a bow, 'do you not know 'Villain!' cried Eberhard, 'you still venture 10 enter this house? lie none. ere justice Streiches out her baud lor vou.'

'The marriage contract i,s signed and lawfully recorded away, I am master of this house!' Softly, as if all his strength was failing him, Conrad laid the senseless maiden down by theclitiir, and supported himself bv clinging to the table. Countwhispered ihe town magistrate, 'here is lb- marriage contract. You know the civil marriage The count pushed the paper away with his hand. Then he walked up to Mary, who now began 10 show signs of returning life. It could distinctly be seen that the firmness of her mind strove to overcome the weakness of the body. Mary,' he siid earnestly, 'it appears that you bo re bi come the victim of a vile conspiracy but in the name of that God who punishes dishonesty, I request you to explain this terrible confusion!' Mary's ejes sought poor Conrad, who 8tood ni the table, u statue of sorrow and despair. She arose, not without great emotion, and walked to him with trembling steps. Conrad,' she whispered, 'what I have done, was done out of love for you you know how I love you! And never, never shall I forget you yetshuu this place. You have seen me happy in my love for you my wretchedness in my despair you slutil not see for I am the wife of the Forester Eherhard!' 'Conrad, 6aid the count, resolutely, you have lost your bride, but gained a friend, who will with everything at his command, provide for your welfare.

And if you love your friend, follow him;

on l is arm you shall leave the place of your misfortune; to his castle you shall go; and on it you can look as your home (until I si til have succeeded in unrnask- ! ins this nean conspiracy! Follow me!' With these words he stepped to Con'Conrad, Conrad, cried Mary, dejpairinglv, as aLe stretched her hands after hun. The young man cast hick another glance and then silently followed the count. The next minute the rattling of the cirriage was heard that conveyed the two ! friends to the castle. Mr. Valentine,' sjid Mary with a firm voice, as she collected 11 her energy, accor ling to law, I am the wife of your nej.tie .v. No man can say anything against it" replied the magistrate, you have given I your word to my Eberhard, aud the law has con h rmed it. Th law,' continued Mary, 'but not the c hurch.' This matters not; if the law has been complied with, then it is all right; aceord.ng to our enlightened ideas.' Iai net according to mine. Therefore hear my desire.' 'Well what do you wish?' a&ked the magistrate, ironically. -I desire,' said Mary with dignity, 'that I you look upon Kie as um virried, until the ' priest has consec rated the legal nurrijge. So long wilt I remain fti the entire possession of my rights and property.' And when shall the priest finish the business?' inquired Eberhard. 'When lam ready for it perhaps next Sunday. Mi-ry, sain the hunler, gallantly, 'this postponement is. it is true, a misfortune to my lieart, but 1 assent.' You understand, that till then solitude is desirable tome ' 'This means, in other words,' said the magistrate, angrily, 'that we shall take leave. Well we shall go. To-diy, it is Mon bty five dajs remain to prepare ' Make no preparations, Mr. Valentine. Hut vou v-ill certainly remove to the houe oi my nephew, uhich is charming - ly situated at : the edge o the forest.' 1 shall do what becomes mv dutv as a wife.' Mary saluted the men, and went into her ted-chamber, the door of which opened into her room. Uncle and nephew left the house, and on the way imparted to one another their apprehensions as to Mary's intentions The contract is legally concluded, ' said the magistrate; if your wife does not comply with the obligations agreed upon, then tl e law will compel her to it.' Night iigain found Ebt rhad and Graff together in the tavern, where the emptied one bottle after another, for the complete success of their plans. VI. Whilst Mary wept in solitude in her chamber separated from all the world. Conrad occupied a room in the castle of the count, ltosfi, wlit attended to her brother's rural affairs during his absence, visited him every day, aud reported what was said in the village about the occurrence. Oh. my GodJ he exclaimed, 'had Mary deceived me in the most shameful manner in the world. I could comfort myself, aud treat her with the contempt she would deserve in that case. Uut as it is, she has become a sacrifice to her love for me, und 1 have lost a faithful heart.' The count, who was deeply affected by Conrad's misfortune, in vain exerted himself to persuade him to apply for a legal investigation, and to have the marriage contract annulled; he always expressed himself decidedly against it, as he was not inc lined to involve' Mary in an investigation. Hut he confidently ex pected that Mary herself would take some steps to regain her liberty, and wiih this hope, which every day grew stronger, he lived at the eastle inactive like a hermit. But when he heard of Rosa, that next Sunday ihe marriage ceremony was to be performed a church, the last ray of hope departed; he informed the count that he would emigrate to America. Although the count suspected a premeditated case of villainy, fiom the circumstance that Conrad's hat was found in the ruins, he yet abstained from a legal investigation, in compliance with Conrad's urgent request, especially since every trace of the perpetrator was wanting Yet he had secre'.ly gi' en notice of the attack upon his person to the judicia ry, and applied for a strict watch on the neighborhood. The same Sunday on which Valentine expected the marriage ceremony between his nephew and Mary to be performed, was also .determined by the baron for the Union of his ward, Emma, with the young count; and preparations to this end were eagerly prosecuted. This gave the couu: repealed opportunities to visit the mansion of the baron, and leave his- friend

'Conrad to himself, who intended to quit'

the country next day. lie feared the count's attempts to persuade him to stay and had , therefore, taken a firm resolution to set out on his journey secretly. Thursday was approaching its close, and night lay upon the earth, when Conrad left the castle and slowly walked toward the village. He intended to bid farewell to his sister. Careless aboul the wy he was taking, he suddenly stood still to see where he was he stood at Mary's garden-gate, closs to which was situated the arbor, where in the preceeding spring, when about proceeding to the war, he bade farewell to her. He involuntarily approached the hedge, and look ed thoughtfully through the foliage. which was now and then gently moved by the evening breeze. Suddenly he thought he heard footsteps he redoubled his attention he had not deceived himself -the footsteps came nearer, aud at length softly crackelpcd upon the sand in the arbor. Oh, my God!' thought Conrad, if it were Mary!' It required some exertion, as this tho't arose, to conceal Iiis emotion. Breathless, he stood still, and stared into the dark arbor, from which he was separated only by the foliage of the hedge. He was still unresolved whether he would go or remain, when a loud weeping struck upon I. is ear. He recognized Mary's voice. Tears came to the eyes of the young man. and the self collection he had just ucquir i ed, was again dispersed. 'My strength is failing, Conrad heard Mary say to herself, I cannot become the forresier's wife and Conrad avoids me; he is do-ng nothing for me he gives me over to sorrow and despair. Oh, my God!' 'Mary, M&ry!' cried Conrad, involuntarily. Heavens!' exclaimsil ths voice in the arbor, 'who calls my name?" 'Mary, only one word before I part from you.' 'Conrad, you come to me, to the girl whom you should despise, for she thought you capable of committing a crime?' As if urged on by some invisible power, the-, yiuug man threw open the gardengate, and rushed into the arbor, where Mary lav weeping upon the ground. Conrad,' so? exclaimed, as he entered. j 'I cm 14 miserable, uuaappv being! Can j you forgive me? will you hate me? 'No, no, I pity you, and still love you with all the strength of my heart.' Gently he lifted the tretnblin girl from the ground, and imprinted a warm kiss upon her glowing forehead. 'Mary, vour fate grieves me more than my own, for you have to forgf t the friend of your youth, and the love which you fondly anticipated would make you happy in life, will now cause you the bitterest sorrow.' Conrad, Conrad!' See.' continued Conrad, as he wound his arm about her neck, 'I am happier than you, for my heart is free, it can remain true to yuu and love you. I am bound by no other lie. I can die with your name upon my lips therefore weep not for me 1 am less to be pitied than you!' Mary clung with trembling arms to Conrad, and spasmodically embraced him for a few minutes. 'Now collect yourself,' said Conrad. 1 deparl, that I may not render the fulfilment of your duties the more difficult.' 0h, my God! let me die: life makes me miserable!' 'Come, Mary, to your house, before we are discovered by the eye of a spy. I accompany you to the threshold, then farewell! Slowly the two walked through the star lit garden. Arrived at the door of the house, Conrad silently pressed the last kiss upon Mary's lips, disengaged himself from her arms, and rushed awa) , he looked not where, into the darkness of night. He had strayed through brushes and fields for perhaps a quarter of an hour, when he suddenly reached the banks of a large pond that which drove Philip's mill. Willi a gloomy smile he stood still, and looked upon ihe tranquil water. The evening was calm, and all nature quiet; not a sound struck upon the ear, save the distant and monotonous rattling of ihe miil, whose lighted wiudow glittered like a star. No,' he at length whispered to himself, I will not lu re destroy my life; Mary shall not reproach herself with my death: she is already unhappy enough. War rages everywhere let it take me as its sacra fice.' He quickly turned his back, and hastened toward a wood, whose outlines appeared in the distance. Coniad soon found himself at a living hedge, which surrounded a phasaut-looking hunter's house. From one window on the ground floor, hich was half covered by the leaves and branches of the hedge, flickered a light. Heavens!' whispered Conrad, with surprise. is not this the house of the for ester Eberhard, the husband of my unfor-' tuuate Mary? Was it accident that brought me here, or was I guided by the hand of destiny! Ha, he exclnimed, and

God of Heaven! hast thou brought me hither, that I should break Mary's fetters. Oh! then give me one sign, and make me the instrument of thy Providence!' A loud knot, ihe door of the house, which was on the opposite side, answered the wild interrogation of the young man. He stood still and listened. 'Who knocks?' inquired Eberhard voice within. 'I. Graff,' was replied at the door. Whosoever it is, I do not open tli9 door at this hour of night., 'Eberhard, open the door.' 'Come to-morrow again.' 'Open. I must speak to you for your own interest.' They were silent. Soon Conrad heard the door open, and the sound of footsteps iu the house. Urged on by the presentiment that some decisive secret of great importance to himself would be discovered, he softly bent the branches and leaves apart, and thrust bis head through a breach in the hedge, so that ho was enabled, through the window, to look over the entire room. He had scarcely assumed this position, when he saw Eberhard and Graff come in through the door. Eberhard wore a plain coat, and Graflfwas armed with gun and cutlass. C.mrad now distinctly heard the following conversation. well,' said Graff, as he entered, 'you hare become so haughty in your happiness that you let a friend and colleague wait before the door, as if he were yourlacker. I had reason to expect that, when I come, every door should be thrown open. 'What do you want? What brings you to me? asked the other, with vexation. Our securiy, and still more, a good job.' A good job? What does that mean?' I suppose you are aware that young Cuont Rudolph is engaged to marry Emma von Linden, and that the bride brings a considerable fortune to the bridegroom? Well?' said Eberhard, inquiringly. Well, my colleague. I was informed. this afternoon, that the count will to night leave the castle of the Uaron von II, and carry twenty thousand dollar? in gold with him. This little sum is to beat the way of the bride to the house of her husband, who intends to catch a few bills of exchange with it before he will get married, so that he may not be caught.' What do I care about this? 6aid Eberhard, indifferently. 'Toward midnight he will return home by h'mself his road leads along the stone quarries ' 'Heavens! cried the forester, 'perhaps you again think ' Ah! you undrstand me at last? exclaimed Graft", with a hoarse chuckle. 'Would it not be a great pity if.this nice sum should be buried with him in the stone-quarries? The job is of double utility: wv get rid of a dangerous man, who cannot forget the trick at the abbey, and we will get rich at once. It is true, you are provided for already, for you will marry a neat girl, with just as neat a farm but I dare not lliinV of getting married, and must studv out some Other means for gaining a fortune and behold, my sagacity has succeeded.
