These reflection made the gen tie Amelia uneasy" She sum moned the Steward, and asked whether he had spoken to the Count before his departure. The steward replied he had seen him but not spoken to him 'Not spoken to him!' exclaimed Amelia. No orders! no directions I mean with regard to the household?'

None whatsoever' answered he.

That is strange.' said Amelia A ve strange indeed mv lady, returned the steward. I have

he had swallowed five bottles of

wine after dinner At last his lordship threw himself into the chase without so much as just saving, good by Thomas, as he was before pleased to do. when h left home 'Inexplicable!' nunmuted Amelia. 'Undoubtedly some very unpleasant accident has torn him from my arms!' Far. vei far. u as she from suspecting the real cause. 3Ieanwhile the Count pursued his journey day and night 'Twas night within his soul, not a gleam of hope there east its transient twilight.

How are your cattle? God bless

tie, searched into every Corner.

and dived into the lowest ceiler At the end of a lonely gallery, through which he heard the echo of bis every step, he stumbled against an iron door which guarded the entrance to one of the four turrets at the corners of the castle's rool The door was opened, a loathsome stench of long confined air burst through the K.J chasm. He entered, found the naked walls, and some moulder ed straw. For the first time the Count's mouth wasdistended to a smile, but it was a grim diabolical smile. He silently quitted the

turret and dispatched the servant who accompanied him. with a note to the Countess. In the meantime by Ins command, a ta hie a wooden chair and a bundle of fresh straw, were carried into the turret. Amelia received with rapture the tidings of her beloved lord whose embrace her beating heart too long missed With the beauteous bloom of fervant desire upon her cheek, she opened the note and read : 'lire hen rev hen of has orders fo bring jon fo me. Z Great was Amelia's astonishment at the dry laconic style of her husband, -vet made she not a moment's hesitation to accompany the messenger. The journey

was extremely difficult to a lady in Amelia's condition; but she. with the impatience of affection, forgot her delicate situation.
