BILE TOS m BLRK A Story of Blood and Iron. But, in tbi mldsl of thii agony of aepar- ation, a proud triumph entered hii soul. A wife wbo loves her hosband doss ool leave him whin all waveri aod dissolve* around bim ; and the had gone from him bad gene undsr tbs protection of bir father and brother, leaving him baok alone, resigning him a prey to all. This it was wbiob bad stricken tbe proud Berkow, who was not to be crushed by hatred and threat*, by tbe fear of violence and insurrection, by ruin itself. And even though with this calm forehead be deceived all others, be could not deceive his enemy. The blow had gene to bis heart. " I need not tell yon what baa happened of late," began Arthur ; " yon are j net aa will, even bettor informed, than 1. Tbe other worki have followed your example ; to all appearance we are on the eve of a long conflict. Are you aura of your com - redes? 1 Uiiioh was startled at the last ques- tion. "What do you mean by that, Herr Berkow 7' ' 1 was thinking whether w* could man- age things dowu hare without outside assist- ance. It seemi tbey cannot at the other minea. From tbe forges tbey have already called npon the State tor help. Yon cer- tainly know all about tbe outbreak there, sod can judge whither snob hslp is cases- ary. I shall not resort to such meant, unless in tbs most extrtme ease ; but inch s case may occur. Already several of my officers have been insulted , and that crowd ot your men I mat the other day in thi for- est were on the point ot insulting ms. Make 00 calculations npon my palietoe or my weakness. Much aa I wiab to avoid extreme measures, I will msst violence witb violence.' At tbe chief* flret words, C Irish bad glanced up in sullen astonishment. He bad expected something far other than luoh a declaration ; but the calmness with wbioh it waa made robbed it of all tie dfl- anoi, and compelled evin tbi rival to mod- eration. Tbere was Hill a tlighl toneh of irony in bii voice as bs rsplitd " That it nothing n*w to ms. Violence egainit violence '. I knew from tbe first that time day it would come to this '.' ' " And which heart the blame if it comes to tbii tbe resistance of the many, or the obstinacy of a tingle man ? ' asked Arthur, looking him tteadily in the fsoi. Tbe obstinacy of a siogli man I Quite right, Herr Berkow. Yon know thtt at tbe cost of a aiugle word from you your works would all be in activity to-morrow." And yon know that I cannot apeak thie word, because it involves an impossi- bility. Il is yonr duty to yisld. I pledge you my honor to all I have promised." " Really T" said the young miner, tbii time with a new outbreak of deruioo, " Ii It beosnse tbs whole Province u iu libel- lion, and ws have a guard and a auj i )JI ' 'n our comrades T'' Berkow, with a indden movement, draw himself up to his full height, and hia yei flashed. " It M beoanit wi aball compel yon by arms to respect that order which yon now nek to tread under your feet, and beoante I would apare thu result to my workmen. Have doni witb tbii irony, Hartmann, in wbiob you yourself do not believe. Whatever baa happened between us, or msy hsppen, I think ws may each ixenlpate thi olbsr from the charge of cjwardioe." There was again the sams tone and glance as in the oontirenoi chamber. Ulrieb, wish mingled rags aod admiration, gesed upon tbe young chief wbo in such an hour dared tbua apeak to him ; wben, trom the sseos in tbe forest, he muet koow what wat to bs fsartd from inch a meiling. His words proved that he did know Ibii per- fectly ; and yil be bad to-day, of bii own free will, tougbl tbu interview. Tbe park was qaito deserted ; no hamsn being was to bi sesn npon tbs meadow, and the houses lay far distant. Nona of ths oft cert would have ventured npon s solitary meeting witb Hartmann note van tbs bold *ngineer ; only ths once deapieed weakling dsrsd thii. Ab, yss I trom ths reproach of cowardice, bis rival bad long itnoe abeolved bim. Arthur teemed to feel the impression bs bad made. He drew a itep nearer " And do you not Me, Hartmann, that by this behavior yon are ruining yonr future?" hs asked gravely. " Yon think, perhspe, by this last movement of your comrades to make an impression npon me. 1 allow myself to be influenced by no effort si oompulaioc ; rely npon that ; but I res- peel in yon powerful though mistaken abilities. They have hitherto been employed only to my injury ; and yet through all, I have aaen what they oould aoojiu- pliab it not turned against ms. Give ear oow to tbi voice ot reason ; content your. salt witb tbs attainment of possibilities, sod I gladly offer yon liberty to remain npon my works, aod a free road to advance- ment. I know what I riik in this, in retain- ing so element like you among my work- men; but I win risk it, if my confidence can have a like return." Bach a proffer to a man wont to consider all eooosssioQ as weakness wai, indeed, venturesome enough ; but Berkow smmed oot to have reckoned npon this. Ulrioh lid not aaswsr he shoved no sign of com pliacoe ; but, for a nature like hu, it wu a great concession not to immediately repel the offer with morose dulrunt. " I have hitherto sought yonr confidence in vela," continued Arthur. " You have to this hour denied it ms. I came here a straogsr ; U not to thi place itself, to the mines and to yon, I waa a ttraoger. Ton net ms with a declaration of war, without eves askiog what I would bs willing to twangs aod improve. You receive and have treated me as an enemy, without onoe ask- iog whether I would be yonr enemy." We are at war I "said Ulrioh curtly. " There, everything ie fair." Arthur lifted hii face, just before so pale, but oow doodad witb the filming glow of tb* twilight, wboss reflection shons around ' Moat it, then.be war between o*Z I do not mean thi present quarrel wbiob will and soonsr or later I mean muat ibis score), imbiltered warfare, Ibis hard- ness aod compulsion on tbe one side, thii rancor aud hatred on the other, keep endlessly ooilmg and spinning on? Bo it bat been tor yean long. I know it ; and ao il will be again, it force compels yon to yield. We would make peace before blood baa been abed on both aides. Ws might now, Bine* nothing ban as yet bappsnsd ; in a few dsys it will perhaps b* too late." With all its calmness, tbs voice of tbe young chief had a pathos that waa vary touching ; and tbs passionate emotion of Hartmauu't face betrayed that b* bad oot been nniutoeptihle to this. Tbi haughty miner, who, the more hs bad become aeons tomed to rule bii eqnale, Buffered all tbe more from wounded pride, aod a tsar ol bia superiors hi oould illy oooeeal, saw him- self now placid upon an elevation oo oni a* yst had granted to bim. Hi vary well knew that Birkow would not have spoken In this manner with any other ol hia under- lings, perhaps not even with bii cffloera ; that lor this kind of trsalment bs mast thank bis individuality alone. Tbs ohiel ipoke to him as man to man, ol a matter upon which bung tbe weal or woe ol both , and be might have been conquered had bit chief been any other man than Arthur Berkow. Ulrica's wai far too lawless and passionate a nature to be able to do justice where he bated witb bis whole soul. " To give our oonfidinoe baa beee\ made difficult snongh for us," he said bitterly. " Yonr father his tor all these yean rob- bed un of so much that none at all it U f t tor tb* son. I believe you, Herr Barkow, that yonr proffer do* oot arise from faar ot any other I would oot believe tbii ; of yon I believe it. Hut, as we both have decided to help ounelvat, I think we will fight it out to the end, Aad OLC ol us st last will be sure to wio." " Aod your comrade* ? Will tbey take npon themtelvei all tbe oare, tbi want, tbi misery, thii fighting it out to tbe bit will involve T" " I oanaot ehangs matters. AU I bav* dons is for them." " No, It is oot done tor them," asid Arthur firmly, " but solely tor Ibs ambition ot thsir leader, who would wiu tbe mattery for himself, and then become a worn dee- pit than their late hated master evir wae, If you still believe in your so called mission, Harimann, you cannot deceive me with il, oow that I aee yon oast aside as worlhlisi all I hold myself ready to do lor bettering the lot of your comrades. You refuse til my offers, because you wish to attain a goal I bnl too will know. In tbi future yon would dictate, and have mi and my officers powerless. Speaking in tbe name of a blindly ubedieut rabble, yon would arro- gate to youreelf all the rights of a maattr, and leave m* only witb tbs name. Yon do not so much wish ths recognition of yonr party as tbi suppression of sviry other ; and that is why yon itske sll upon this throw. Yon will lose it." The ipeech, to mob a man, wai bold enough , and Ulrioh trembled witb rage. " Ah I since you koow all ao exactly, Herr Berkow, well and good. Yon are quite right ; tbe question is oot merely ooe of higher wages and a little more safety iu the uuiuea. That may be enough for those wbo are anxioui for only wife and children, and know nothing more thair whale life long. Tbe courageous onei among tie seek more. We will have tbe reins in our bauds ; we will be reapcoted aa squall. Thii may be s hard lesion for our aover- ign gentlemen to learn, but we are in the way of teaching il to them. We at last understand that il U our bands wbioh wio for you tbal wealth of which you alon* eopy the fruita. Ton have used our arms in elavei' work long enough, and now yon shall learn to feel it," Tbe words wire burled forth with a fear- ful violence ss if ivery one ot them wtr* in itself a weapon to strike and to kill. Th* whole immeasurable pasalon of Uirieh Hari- mann once more broks forth , snd tbe whole married lite.

The ell race ot Windeg could again ttep forth ia tn* full splendor ol power and wealth. Whoever poweeaed the Habeuau estates waa rich enough to cover all early loete*. end secure for himeeif and hi* a brilliant tutor*. In troth, one shadow yet brooded ovtr all this new luntbinc Ibe plebeian name eo hated by Ibe baron, and once BO ba'.ed by Eugenie. But thu oould only be a qaeetiou of lim*. Tbi beautiful iotelhot- ual girl bad onoe, in epite of tbe well known euibarraiBmenti of her fathir, foond in ber own circle many admirers, who, toon or late, would have beoomi wooers. ugenie Windeg had been i girl to make a man for- get that be took to hii home and hetrt tbe daughter of an impoverished, insolvent family. Old Berkow, witb rough hand, bad Bub- verted all tbe baron'* plan* for a brilliant alliance for hia daughter, aod wrested tbe pnzi for his eon. Hi* bad been the pjwur to demand where otben mutt sue, aud be bad known bow to use it. But now Eugenie would again be tree ; the present lord of Babenan could teenre a rich dowery ; and be knew more than one man, her equal in birth, wbo would rejoice, and not from mercenary motives alone, to efface the name and lail remembrance of that unfortunate alliance, and, by a mtr- riage worthy of ber rank, raiae tbe young baronet* to a position a* high, and even higher, than birth had givin her. Thin tbe last ilain would be wiped from the Windeg eeootobeon, and it beam again in it* anoient tplendor. But the young woman did not sei tbiugi in tbi joyous, hopeful light one might have expected the would, now that tbe BUD of her fortune ibooe to resplendent. Bbe bad already been aome week* in her father'* bouse ; bat the color would not relnru to ber cbceke, nor her lip* learn agtiu their olden smile. Here in her own home, iur- rounded by Ihe londeit love and oariof bir f anally, ibe remained pale aod silent aa in* bad iver been by the lid* of tbe husband she bad been forced to wed.

Bafore tb* honsbaok rids, iu wbiob tbe Arthur's position was bsstrdoui in the I baron usually indulged towsrd svening, be extreme, as be stood opposite thii man, waa aoonatomed to come to his daughter , wbo, tbs veioi of bit forehead swollen wi'b rige, and with clinched flats, teemed ready to let deedi follow bia words. Bat not svsn an eye-laah trembled ; not a itep did Arthur retreat from ibal danger- ous nearness. Hi ilool then with that bearing of cold, proud repjse, bis largi eyei steadily fixed upon hii rival, as if with those eyes alone hi bad the powsr to van- qniih bim. " I believe, Hartmann, yon must tor thi present allow tbe reins to remain in tbs bands which ire accustomed to them, aud are in a position to rule," he laid. " That you will soon learn. By brute force yon may raise iniurrection*, and pull down structures, but they cannot be built by this. Try to conduct the mine* bin with yonr own band*, if to those hands that bated element be wanting wbiob gives direction to them, motive power to the machinery, and intellect to Ibs work. And lor tb* present that remain* with n*. Plaoe your- aelf by the side of your equals, and mm will not deny yon yonr right*. Wbat yon now have to throw into Ihe loale, weaponi alone, will never secure you the leader- ship." Ulrioh sought to answer, but passion choked hit voios. Arthur ulanoed over to tbs foretl where Ibe twilight glow was fading away into thi darknen, and turned to go. " If I bsd before known that every word of reconciliation would be unavailing, I would not have Bought Ibis interview. I offer yoa peace and liberty to remain upon Ibe works. Perhaps no other would bavs made raob a concession, and It was difficult enough for me to force myself to il. Bnl yon hsve repulsed even thii with sooro snd hstred. Yon are determined to be my enemy. Well, so be it then ; bat take npon yourself Ibe responsibility of all tbii happens. I have done my beet to prevent all thii, but in vain. However the qaarrel may end, we are now dooe with each other " " Qluck <ui) /" cried Harimann morosely. Tbe words toundid like cutting irony, aa they weri indeed at saeb s moment si this. Tbs ebiif seemed no longer to bear. He was already some steps distant, and now went in tbi direction of the houses. Ulrioh remained behind. Over hii bead iwayad ths willow branches, as they moved to and fro in ths svsning wind ; along th* meadows orspl a whits vapor , and over the firs yonder burst a sudden glow, wsird, ominous, and rid ai blood, and than faded dowly away. The young man itared dumbly into thi flaming evening sky. Tbi ominoni glow Isy also upon bis free. " ' We are done witb each other ?' Not yet, Herr Arthur Berkow ; we an jut beginning t I would not confess, even te myeelf , the cowardice that ba* as yet bald me baok. I would not venture to attack bim wbsn the was at bis side. Now tbe path ii clear , now ws will balance our accounts I" c HAITI: R XVI. In tfae residinoe reigned all tbs varied life and activity ol a sammer'l Skftertioon. Throngs of idle promsaadsri, of boaineae people aad workmen, in a perpetually changing tide, surged to and fro. Tbere was an andleet Babel of voices, a rattling of cart aad carriage wheels. From all ildss roes sddyiog clouds of doit ; snd tb* glowing beams ol the inn, already declining toward tbe want, lighted op thi whole bnay, animated aoeni. At a front window ot tbe Windeg Home, which stood upon ons of tbi principal itreets, a young lady bad stationed birself, and waa gasing down npon all tbia commo- tion, which she had almost forgotten in thi solitode ot her wooded nioautains. Eugenie had rslnrnsd to her fstbsr'i boo.*, aod all Its instate* Mened inclined to blot from amort MM brief pe rlo d of bar Be came to-day ; but his manner wai mare grave than usual, and he held a pper in bi* band. " I must annoy yon with a Inuinisi mat- tcr, my child," be began after a brief eal- utation. " I bavs joit had a ooLfereuoe witb our lawyer which has proved satis- factory beyond my expectation. Barkow'i attorney isindowtd with full powsr to meet all our wishes ; both legal gentlemen have already agreed npon the neottaary ttep* sod tbs wbols matter will probably be ai jotted far mite qaiokly and early that we vintnred to hope. Will yon please !gu yonr name to this paper ? ' He reached Iba paper. Eugenic madi moviminl at it to snatch it from him, but all al ones her hand till. "Wbat am I to do?" " Simply to affix your name to tbii paper, nothing more !" said the baron coolly, as bi placed thi shut on the writ ing table, aod moved bir a chair. Eugenie nesittled. ' II is a legal decuman t ; mail I not first read il 7 Windeg amilid faintly. " II it bsd been so important doonment, we should, ol course, have laid it before you for inspec- tion," be said ; " hut it is only tbs petition lor divorce, wbiob tbi judge U to preient in your name, and to wbiob hi needi yoar signature s mere formality la tbe conduct ot tbi caee.

Bat not at thii moment. I cannot sign it now." Thi tons ot tbi young woman's voios wai singularly plaintive, almost agonized. Tbe father shook hii head ae it in displeasure. " Tbls is s strange whim, Eogenie," h* said, " ons wbiob I do Lot at all under- Hand. Why will yoa not jait now, hire in my presenoe, make Ihia simple stroke ot the pen ?

He did not nmark his daughter'! deep tigb ot relief at these wordi. Hs itepped to tbe window, and gtzid down tbi itreel. " Will Oort not oams to me ?" asked Eugenie after a moment's pause. " I have seen bim only once to-day, at tbe dinner table." " Hi mutt be weary from his joarniy, and 11 perhaps taking torus net. Ab, tLere yon are, Curl, joit as w* wsre speaking of yon I" The young baron, wbo entered ai tkii moment, must hive reckoned upon finding his siitsr alone , lor b* said with evident snd not quite gratifiiil surprise " You here, papa ? I thought yoa wars having a oonfsreoos up in ths library with oar lawyer." " Our conference is st an sod, as yoa eei," replied tbs baron. Ourt seemed to wish that tbs said con- ference bad been longer. Meantime b* mad* no reply, but went to hii lister, aod confidentially sst down by bir aide. Only to-day noon be kad come unexpectedly from Ihe proviaet. It was a siognlar, and in tbi baron 'a opinion, an unfortunate eir- enEnstano*, that tbe regicoent to which hit sides! son belonged had just been itstloned in thi town which lay near**! to th* Her kow estaW i, jut oow, wben bii family bid broken off all relations than.

He had gone to bis niw garrison, whar*, of courts, Birkow wai well known, wttb an express com maud from hi* father to be ailnt raipeotinij tb* divorce. The batou held firmly to bia tint conclusion, to take the prelimmuy iteps in secret, as he mnit Ibe final ones in Ihe f ace of tbe world ; and he naturally tuppated that bis aon would as much a* possible avoid all pirsooal rela- tion! with hii brother iu law. H* seemed to have been right ia tbe tup position. Arlhnr'i name waa never innu- tioned ia Ourl's letter* ; aod only ot*nal inteligenei had been received as to b iw natters itood upon thi Berkow e*uu., ui.ti. Curl, in a military capacity, was ordired to tbi Kaeidenoe. Ourt bad bten al home but a few noun ; and at dinner the pretence of atueite had thrown a res- traint npon tbe family ; but now, when trom bit baviug jmt aaaed Eugenie's tig Dilnre lo tbe petition for divorce, thii usu- ally forbidden top:o wan uppermost in the baron's mind, witb an iudiflarenoe one oji<bt show in relation to tbe affair* of to* mo.it diitaol aeqnaiutanee, b* aiksd bow matter* itood upon the iiarkow estates. " Badly, p*p, very badly I "replied Curl, turning to his father, but not relinquishing hi* plaoe near Eugenie.

" If the outbreak ia getting beyond hi* mastery, I wonder tbM be does not sum- mon military aid," said the baron rather coolly. "Thalia Ihe very point on which he will not liatan to reason ; I ' bare all the ariotoeralie) imperiouiLew of tbe youug heir of Windeg broke out" I would long ago have bad these fellows tbpt down, and have forced ibe rebels to inbuiiieion.

Tbe embank- ment wa* seventy muei, tbe swollen water would have rnn over il had il been leu than twenty feet high ; aud would have whirled il into the plain if iiebasa had not been a hundred feel broad. Then we could only work by inatobee evio in the dry month*, aud not at all during the long aod dreary wit season. My workpeople rilnrund to their home i for the wet montba, but I stayed on to fee that our foundation was not wa> bed away. My belt labours were tbe womeu. Tbe mas* ot them were not from British Barm>h, but slaves of th* King of Kinge, tbe Burmese ot tbe highland!. Il i* from these that tbe King of Barman drawn bit army.

In the heal 01 Ibe day, when work wai out of Ibe quit- iiou, I have listened witb astoniehmaut and pily to their talk ovsr the ivsrlastmg iheroot.

Tbs men would think il bensatb their dig- nity to carry cheroots in this manner, but they do not mind helping themselves from tbe wife'i case.
