What first entered my brain’as the wildest possibility grew rapidly to a desire which possessed my whole being with absolute passion. The situation was in itself so singular and tantaliz- ing. and the Princess was so beautiful a woman. to be on these terms of de- licious intimacy with the daughter of cm: of Europe‘s sovereigns (a little sov- ereign it is true. but great by race and connectiol. to meet her constantly in absolute defiance-of all the laws of eti- quette. yet to see her wear through it all as unapproachable a dignity. as serene an aspect of condescension. as though she were presiding at her father’s Court â€"it was enough, surely. to have turned the head of a wiser man than myself! It was not long before Mademoiselle Ottilie. the lady-in-waiting. discovered the secret madness of my thoughtsâ€" in the light of what has since occurred I can truly call it so. And she it was who. for purposes of her own. shovel- Ied coals on the fire and fanned the flame. One way or another, generally on her initiative. but daily. 0n the evening of a day passed in their company. with the impression strong upon me of the Princess's fare- well look. which had held. I fancied. something different to its wont; with the knowledge that I had. unrebuked. _ Id fro 'n down if on know’ pressed and kissed that {air hand an“ E{teat uncle won it p ' a fashion more daring than respectful. with my blood in a fever and my brain in a whirl. now seeming sure of suc- cess. now coldly awake to my with my great-uncle's pedigree. And heartened by the proofs that the blood of_Jennico was good enough for any alliance. ment by as concerned myself. Now. when I in goodly black letters had set down my own cognomen so fair upon the parch- ment. I was further seized with the fancy to fill in the space left blank for my future marriage; and f lightly traced m pencil. opposite. the words “Basil Jennico. Lord of Tollendhal." the full titles and names. which by this time I had studied lift I knew them off by heart. of her Serene Highness the Prin- cess Marie Caroline Dorothec Josephine Charlotte Ottilie of Lausitz. It made such a pretty show after all that had gone before. and it brought such visions with it of the glories the name of Jennico might yet rise to. that I could not find it in me to erase it again. and so left it as it stood. telling myself. as I rolled up the great deed again and hooked it in its place beneath my uncle's portrait. that it would not be my fault if the glorious entry did not remain there for ever. The next time the ladies visited me. Mademoiselle Ottilieâ€"-â€"flitting like a great room. dancing pirourettes neath my uncle's portrait. and now and again pausing to make a comical gri- mace at his forbidding countenance. while l entertained her mistress at its further endâ€"must needs be pricked by the desire to study the important docu- ment. which I had. as I have said. al- ready submitted to her view. Struck by the sudden silence and stillness. I rose and crossed the room to find her with the parchment rolled out before her. absoer in contempla- tion. her elbows on the table. her face leaning on her hands. With a fierce rush of blood to my checks. in a con- fusion that set every pulse throbbing. i attempted to withdraw from her the evidence of what must seem the most impudent delusion. But she held tight with her elbows. and then.. disregarding my muttered explanation that I intend- oi to rub out at once the nonsense. I had written in a moment of idlenees. she laid her small finger upon .the place. and. looking at me gravely. said: “Why not?” The whole room whirled 'round with me. ' Mv God." I cried. “don't mock. me!" But she. with a new ring of feeling In her voice. said earnestly: “She has such misery before her father carriw out his will." To hear these words from her. who of all others must be in her mistress's confidence. ought. however amazing to reason and common sense. to have been a spur to one who'se ambition soared so high. Nevertheless. I hesitated. To be honest with myself. not from a lov- er's-dimdence. from a lover's dread of losing even hope, but rather from the fear of placing myself in an absurd poo sitionwof risking the deadly humliation of a refusal. I dared therefore nothing but soft looks. soft words. soft pressures of the hand; and the Princess received them all as she received everything thathad gone before. From one in her posztion this might seem of itself encouragement enough in all conscience; but. I waited in vain for some break in her unruffled composureâ€"some instant in which I could mark that the Princess was In the woman. And so what drew me most to her kept me back. At the same t‘me a rooted distrust of the little lady- in-waiting. a certain contempt. too. for her personality as belonging to that ro- tare so despised of my great-uncle and myself. prevented me from placmg con- fidence in her. ‘ . But she. nevertheless. precxpitated the climax. It was three days after the scene in my great-uncle’s room. one Sunday morning. beside the holy-water font in the little chapel of Schrcrkendorf Castle, whither. upon the invitation of Its pre- sent visitorsâ€"my own priest being 111.

The Princess had WSW out first. and had condwcended. smiling. to brush the pious drops from my finger: but madamoiselle Ottme paused her if. i 8 she too touched with hers my out- always by her arrangement. we three met. and met folly, l bethought me of taking counsel again to stretched hand. and said in my’ear as crossly as a spoilt child: “You are not a very ardent lover. M. dc Jennico. The days are going by; the Countess Schreckendorf is beginning to s cm uite lain again. It is impos- sIblektltilat heI3 Highness should be left in this liberty much longer." I caught her hand as she would have ‘ . wa . mgllfmli zoned, be sure that this is‘ not some foolish jest." I said in a fierce whisper in her ear. ‘ .. And she to me back again as fiercely. “You are afraid!" she said with a curling lip. That settled it. I rode straight home. though I. was expected to have joined the ladies in some expedition. I spent the whole 'day in a most intolerable state of agita- tion: and then. my mind made up. I sat down after supper to uncle‘s portrait.

I turned to find Mademoiselle Otillie be- fore me. . She looked at me straight with one of those odd searching looks which I had now and again seen her flx upon me; and without either “Good-even”.or "IImvâ€"do-you-do," she said abruptly: “I saw. you coming all the way along the white road from the moment it turns the corner. and I saw how your more fought you. and how difficult it was to bring her past the great beam of the well yonder. You made her obey. but you have not a scratch upon her sides â€"yel you wear spurs.” She looked at me with the most ear- nest inquiry. and. ruffled by the futility of the question when so much was at stake. I said to her somewhat sharply: “What has this to do. Mademoiselle. with our meeting here to-day?” “It has this to do. Monsieur.” she an- swered me composcdly. “that her High--l ness's interests are as dear to me as! my own. and that I am glad to learn that the man she is to wed has a merci- ful heart. ‘1 know a man." she went.I on. “in our own country who passes for the finest. the bravest. the most gal-f lzint. but when he brings a horse to from the chase its legs will be trembling and it. will be panting so that it. can scarcely draw breath because the rider is so brave and dashing that he must go the. fastâ€" est of all. and he will have left his mark upon the poor brasl's sides in! great furrows where he has plunged. them with his spurs.

There was no hint of answering love to my passionate declaration. but I did [not miss it. I had won my Princess. iand the few clear words in which she laid bare before me the whole extent of my presumption only added to the lost exquisite zest of my conquest. It was a very autumn dayâ€"autumn comes quickly in these lands. It had been raining. and I rode down from the higher level into a sea of white mists. It. was still and wallaâ€"one of those heavy days that as a rule seem like to clog the blood and fill one-with reason- less foreboding. I remember all that now: but I know that there was no place for foreboding In my exulting heart as I sallied out full early to the trysting-place. The mare I rode. because of the close atmosphere and her own headstrong temper. was in a great lather when I arrived at the little pine-wood. and f dismounted and began to lead her gently to and fro (for I loved the pretty crea- ture. who was as fond and skittish IS a womani that she might cool by de- grees and take no injury.

A despatch from Bielslock, Russia. says: A massacre of Jews occurred here on Thursday. in which hundreds were killed and wounded and Jewish shops demolished. "The outbreak was the result of the throwing of a bomb at 3 Corpus Christi procession that was pass- ing Alexandrovski Street. Someone threw a bomb from a balcony among the processionisls. killing a priest and many others. It is alleged that a Jew- ish Anarchist threw the lnlnb. and it is asserted that other Jews immediately followed the throwing of the bomb by discharging revolvers from windows into the crowd. Soldiers hastily sur- rounded tlie house and poured volleys through the windows. Meanwhile Christians attacked the whole Jewish quarter. smashing shops and houses. trampling upon goods that had been thrown into the streets. and hunting the Jews. whom they beat and backed. A number of .lt-Ws. who were pursued by a mob. fled to the railway station. where several of them were caught and killed. Three were taken from the upper storey of the station to the street. The Jews are fleeing from Bielostok to the neigh- boring forcsts. and mobs are pursuing them. Dctachmcnts of dragoons have been sent out to protect the Jews. Jews larriving here on trains have been drag- ged Ironi‘tlie cars. and manl’ 0I “‘9'“ have. been murdered.
