Servants were called^ remedies applied, a doctor w.nt for and, finally, Constance was earned, still senseless, to her room.

Through all the trying scene, Gerard had maintained his self-command. Ilis composure was so perfectly unruffled his manner was so politely ir ii! about the invalid his suggestions were so eminently practical, especially that, in which he proposed they should take her al, oiii:e to her room, that no or.-. have imagined he had any share or concern in her illness, or that he had ever seen her before she appeared the star raid queen of her uncle's Court.

'ons!anc« had recognised him and that great emotion—what did it mean? Had she repented? What, if she should hetray hirri? What if her first inquiry r-hould he for him? He knew well enotign that it was the sight of him, and not ihe accident, that had caused her swoon.

The anxiety with which he waited to see what would happen next, baffles description.

Karl was too fnll of his own hopes and fears to observe Gerard's gloom and abstraction. He smoked in silence for a long time, while Gerard sat near, shading his face. He thought Karl would never go. He panted to oe alone the agitation that he had undergone that day was almost more than he could bear.

At length, Karl rose. "I feel happier uowthat you have taken the matter in hand," he said. "I have such confidence in you. «You never fail in anything, old fellow. You will win my love for me, when I cannot win her for myself."

Gerard could not make any reply. Every word Karl spoke was torture.

Karl had not spoken to his father about his love for Constance. He was not sure of his approval. Several times he had seemed aa if he wished to prevent too great an intimacy between them and now even he had lost his usual gaiety, and went out for long, solitary rides.

Gerard was the only one who seemed unchanged, and yet, of all around, none hud undergone such trials. He worked away as usual listened to the Duke'e rather flat conversation attended him when he went out (Karl kept studiously I out of the way), and painted vigorously at every spare moment.

At the end of a week, Constance came among them again. The dark circles beneath her eyes gave evidence that the plea of illness was genuine. Her face, too, had lost its brightness, and her steps I were languid and slow.

Karl. It kills me to hear .vou sue for, him.' Gerard was while as death. "I have sworn to urge his suit," he said. "I have crushed my own love. I am a traitor even as I stand here. Heavens! is there never to be mercy for me? Could mortal man endure such torture, and Dot fail?"

He stood at a little distance from her, gazing as if he would devour her with his eyes then he bounded forward, seized her hand, and pressed it passionately to his lips. "Farewell, Constance. I must tly! Every moment threatens my dishonor. I cannot, plead Karl's cause I will not urge my own. My lot has been bitterness from the beginning, and must be to the end! Good-bye!"

Again he kissed her hand. He clutched the folds of her white dress, and pressed th"in to his lips. He was veritably mad. and knew not what he did.

At that moment, a cry like that of a

before they had time to look op in marvel, Karl stood before them. Traitor!" he hissed forth. "Base, treacherous deceiver! I have heard yoa. I heard yoor hypocritical cry that yon conld not plead my canse,and would never plead yon own! Liar, coward, hypocrite, take that!" and he struck Gerard on the face with his open palm.

The blow left a livid mark on Gerard's ashy cheek. His very lips turned gray, ana twitched convulsively. "Yon shall give me satisfaction for that," he muttered, at last.

Karl laughed cruelly. "Revenge!" he cried. Do you think I will fight yon? Do yon think 1 would stand face to face on equal terms with such as yon?" "Ah, yon shall or better still, yon shall repent and apologize! Listen!" cried Gerard, who had now partially recovered his self-command, and who was keenly alive to the suffering he saw depicted on Karl's face,—"listen! I have not

I have urged your suit in preference to my own. I loved her before yon knew her, and she repulsed me now she loves me but if you had listened, yon would have heard her say our love was hopeless still. A minute ago, I said I could not urge your suit. I retract my words. I will plead for yon again, and she shall hear me. Constance, listen, I adjure you, by the love I have borne you so long, let me sue for him. He is worthy of you. If you have no love to give him now, it will come. Esteem you cannot refuse him. Do not utterly reject him. Give him time to win you."

Karl, oblivious now of all save Gerard's prayer to Constance, fell on his knees before her. "Yes, give mo hope," he cried. "I ask no promise, only do not reject mo utterly. Let me woo you. Let me approach, and show you day by day my fervent love. Will you grant this, at his

quest, if for 110 other reason?" "Grant it, Constance," inurmnrod Gerard, with icy 3ij* It is for his happiness. Better one should ba happy than all three miserable."

Thus urged, Constancc yielded "I

on the sounds that fell from her When she had (.eased sneaking, Karl snatched her hand, and kissed it passionately. (Jerard stood by and watched him. No word escaped him, though his handmade a convulsive movement, as if he would stay that caress. The beads of agony still gleamed on his ashy forehead, and the black mark of Karl's blow stood out in shaip relief to the deadly pallor of his countenance.

When Karl, sobered, perhaps, by the strange stillness of Constance's endurance of his caress, rose from lib) knees, he I'Xiked at Gerard. Even his selfish passion could not blind him to the suffering that was written 011 his rival's face already. He went to him with extended hand. "You have made good your words," he said. "I apologize. I loathe myself for my hateful passion. Can you forgive me?" And he pointed to Gerard's swollen cheek. "Yes, I forgive," Gerard replied, listlessly. "What is that, amidst the troubles that have made up my life?" 1 will forgive it—ay, and strive to forget it,—and yon likewise," ho added, with a sudden burst of bitterness.

Karl was deeply pained. Gerard's words might be ungrateful, considering the past bnt he could sympathize with him. His suffering was akin to his own. "Plead for me, Constance," he added, turning to her. You yielded when he asked you yield to me, and pray him— nay, command him, to bury the remembrance of this last hour in oblivion." "He will forgive you," Constance replied, slowly, and with effort. "To ask him to forget all that has passed in the last hour, would be to ask too much. You were not the only actor it it."

There was a reproof in her look that stung Karl. It was not thus she had yielded an answer to Gerard's prayer. He turned sharply and abruptly away. If he stayed there, he felt ne should quarrel with her again.

He went his way, and then, without another word or look, Gerard and Constance parted.

Gerard walked on rapidly toward the house. He would not dally longer. That night he would leave W
