Bbe woold go to ber buiband at any price, and therefore the overotme tbe horror wilb. which this man bad inspired her since she knew upon what her power over him wai based. Once mort she woold ass tbii power, whose effect she bad already so often proved. " It ii I, Harlmann," ibe aaid, mastorint an involuntary tremar, and speaking witb tbt fullest apparent calmness. " Your father bat just warned mo against taking tbs path alone, and still I must go on."

Yoo have onoa offered ae your protection and year company, lartmann, where I did nol need them ; low I lay claim to both. Oondnot me lately ver to tht house. Ton can do il." The overseer bad tbui far stood anxiously o ont lids ; be sipeeled every moment am* attack from bis ton againit tba wit* >t tht chief he so bated, and was ready in laat of need to interfere. He could uot oaderstand the oalmuesa and tearlessneai f tbii young woman in the pretence ot a man whom every one knew to be tbe outer of tbe wbole revolt , and now aa she made this request ot him, and would confide herself to bis protection, tbe old man's lelt-poasession left him ; htgazsd io real terror up to ber face. Bnl Ulriob was also terribly exeited al this demand. Tbe momentary expreaniuu ot mildness and submission had already vanished, and the old imperious obstinacy had returned. " BnallZ conduct yoa over?" he asked in a hollow voioe. " And do you aok ibis from me, your ladyship from me t" " From you /" Eugenie did nol take ber eyes from bit face.

Harlmann stood tbere and looked alter br will glowing eyee, without listening to the entreaties or rspresentalions of bis father Uiriob knew belter tban be what ibe young woman bad ia view by tbii ventore to what she would force him ; bai this linn he would nol yield. And if she went to ruin on the threshold of ber home, in sigh of her husband, before be himself con ducted ber to Ihe arm* of the bated man before Up yonder appeared a crowd o! miners wbo, shouting and raging, preesed near their leader. Tbe foremost ware only a ftw hundred steps distant : already they bad noticed Ibat solitary woman'* form tbe next minote she moil be recognized, and only halt an boor before he bad him ell inspired thine men with a blind fory againit all whicb bore the name of Ber- kow. Eogenie went on, right into tbe midst of danger, wiltout even veiling her face. Ulrioh stamped aa i( betide htumelf ; tben all al one* be broke Icoae (turn his UtLir, and tb* next moment be wai at ber eide. " Pat down your veil " be commanded ber, and with iron graap placed bis baud upon hers. With a deep Bigb of relief, Eagbaie obeyed. Now she was safe. Bhe knew tbat be would not again let go ber baud even il Ibe wbole force of miners broke loose against ber. With full conicionsnesi be bai escaped tbe danger ; but also witl tbe full conviction tbat only tbis moment ary danger to which tbi bad expossd her elf could bave enforced the protection hi had denied her. Bbe had conquered, bn it bad been only at tbe last moment. Tbey bad now reached the orowd, whiob mtde a movement as if to surround Ibci leader; bat a brief yet most emphati command from him bade tbem give wa; and start at OEOO for tbe mines. Thci obedience was, as usual, onquetiioniog am unhesitating ; tnd Dlriob, who htd no halted for a moment, drew his companion twit lly onward, Now for the flrel time sb saw bow impossible it would bave been ti pats tbroagb this crowd alone, or indeet with any other escort than tbe man at be tide. Tbe whole expanse of the meadow, nso ally so silent, waa to-day the theatre of a violent tumult, although the only COLD" o had taken place al Ibe mines. Thrjnga ol miners paused to and fro, or gathered iu wildly excited groups ; everywhere were ngry facet aud threatening gesture* ; every wbere shooting confusion and uproar. The wildly excited mob teemed to neek only aa object upon which to wreak it* whole lust for vengeance. Happily, tbe footpath led along the edge ot tbe meadow, a little away from the immediate scene of tbe tumult ; but even here Ulriob, at eoon as hi appeared, bicame tbe centre ot general attention. Bnl a strange surprise mingled wilb tbe uproarious thouls which every where greeted him. Many wondering, dittruiiful glances fell upon tbe woman al bis tide. In bar dark travelling suit, and behind her thick veil, ne one had reoogtiiatd the wits ot tbe obist , tnd i(, from ber gut or bearlt . any one had imagined it to be her ladyship, the supposition, if made audible to the orowd, would have been scouted with deruive laughter. It wat Ulrioh Hartmaan wbo had taken ber under hi* protection ; and he certainly would protect nothing which bblouged to the boose ot Berkow. But il was still a lady wbo walked near him -near this rough, wild son cf tbt oversesr, who waa not wont to concern him- self about women, not even Martha Ewcrvi an object ot interest to every onmarried ttiner upon tbe works. Could this bt Ulriob Hartmann, who regarded and treated the wives ot .his comrades as a superfluous burden to be shaken off much as possible could tbii indeed be he, wbo accompanied Ibis strange lady, and with an expression upon hi* lac* as If be would fell down any man who approached a step too near ? Who wat tbe lady ? and wbat did it mean ? This tbort walk ot scarce ten minutes was a venture even for Ibe yoang leader ; bat be showed he was absolute master of hit com- rades, aad knew how to ate his authority. Now, with torn* imperi tu wordi, bt die persed a group wbiou ttood in hit way ; DOW bt burled commands or directions to bs orowd pressing on toward him, which mad* it lake auothcr course ; now be dis- missed the solitary individuals, wbo came itb iu> u ui or tidings, with a " By and by," Ot " Wail onlil I return ;'' aud, amid all, be kepi drawing on the yoong woman to rapidly at to prsvtnt discovery. Al sugth they reached the latticed gate, at tb* entrant* ot tbe park. Ulricb pushed open the gat*, and led Eogenie under tbe protection of the trees. " I btve gone tar enough wilb yoa," (aid ie, letting go ber hand. " Tb* park ii yet tale, and in fiv* mioutee you will be at tbe nooae." Eugenie ktill trembled al tboogbl of the danger tbe had just escaped, and ber bsnd still ached from tbe iron pressure cf bis. Slowly sbe threw back her veil, and looked op into the face of ber protector. " Now be sore to hasten, your ladyabip,'' said bs with a bilter irony. I have honor ably aided you to act your hiubaud affair You will nol keep him waiting." Tbe young miner face betrayed what torture Hbe bad iuflioted upon him, an its left him Ibe oboioe of exposing her to attack, or of conducting her to her husband Tbe young woman had nol ibe courage to thank him. Silently the extended to him her band. But U irieh thrast beck the band. " Ton have dared demand much from me, my lady," be *aid, " so maob that yon came near losing all. Now you have yoor will ; but do nol again seek to oomptl ma to, a* to-day, at least when ke is near. It yoa do, tben, by Heaven, I will giv* yen both up to tbe mercy ol tbe mobl ' Upon tbe terrace Blood Fraux and Anton, with anxione, ysl ourioua faces, gazing over to tbe works.

Fraus, wbo followed her, found mill more occasion to wonder at ber ladyship ; for when she bad arrived iu the ante chamber tbe tcaioc allowed him to take ber bal aud cloak. As be was hastening to the wing occupied by Uerr Berkow to annoat.ee her arrival, sbe ordered him back, saying tbal sbe would go to her husband at unoe and witboul announcement.

Ibis bad all corns like a clap of thunder ; what could have bat peasd in tbe Residence ? Eugenie passed quickly through the ball and the two ants room* ; Iben the suddenly paused, lor from tbe adjoining cabinet sbe beard Arthur's voioe. The yoang wife bat certainly reckoned upon uudiog ber bus band alone, and now sbe found mm in Ibe company ol ajother. 1 bis meeting man nol ike place in tbe preaeuee of atranKert anything but that I Bull hesitating as to whether she thoald tarn back or remain the at length stepped softly behind the portiere, whoe folds partially conoaaled ber from vitw.

Tbe open door gave Eugenie an nnob ilnnkdview of tbe room. Arthur stood directly oppoeitc bsr al Ibs opeu window aud *.ba full light fell upon bis fans, wbiob had grown strangely sad since sbe saw him last. Tbe shadow of earr, which at tbat time bad Isiu opon his forehead as yet so little accustomed to wear it, had now engraven iktelt tbere in two deep fold* wbiob no alter lime could perhaps obliler ate. Every line of tbe face had become sharper and stronger. Tbe expression of energy, wh.ob at i:enrt dawuiuK bad been noticeable only in moment* of rxaitemol, now absolutely predominated, and bad quite obliterated tbe former lisllsM, dreamy look. It was evident tbat in a few weeks the young ebiet bad learned what would tor others b* the work of years. " I am csrtaiuly the last mau wbo would adviae outside aeiislanes," continued Ike ebist engineer ; " but I think we all, and particularly cur chief, have done enongh to restrain the revolt. We certainly cannot be blamed for resorting to a measure tbe other works took long ago, and witb no uob urgent neoeesily as ours." Arthur gravely shook bis head, atd replied, " Tbe other works oan be no rule for us ; there a few wounds and imprison- ment* settled all ; there fifty soldier* and a few shot* fired into tbe air soflioed to put down tbe wbole revolt. Here Iltrtmann alanda al the beiad ; and we all know what tbat means. He himself would not qaai before a bayonet cbarg*, and witb him also eland or fall bis band ol followers. If wi thould resort to military force, peace for us could only come over the bodies of Ib altin." Tbe officer was silent; bat bi* deep gravity proved thai be fully shared tbe apprcherjHions of bit oblsf. " But if peace is not to be obtained other witt" began be again. " II il could be obtained in tbat way" returned Arthur ; " but it oauuot, and the Hacriftoe would be in vain. For tbt moment I might sabdne tbe iniarreotion, only to have II the next year, perhaps the uei month, break forth anew ; and yoa know as well at I that tbii will iak* from me tbe last ponibilily ot holding the work*. Ia other place* tbe workmen show some lean ing toward juttioe and confidence ; in olber placet they return to reason ; wilb us nothing of Ibie kind can be hoped. This distrust, sown for so many yean, cannot easily be uprooted. Wbeu I entered upon tbe ojutrol cf tbe work*, haired and revenge tb* watchword wbiob greeted me , it i* Ib* ssm* to-day ; and if I place blood bed between them add mr, then all is iver.

Perhaps Ibe young chief would not thus have spoken to any olber ; hot the bad engineer was tha only man who of late bad been taken into bis eloeast confidence, the only one who, in all tbe danger* which had menaced him, in all the meaaarte be had undertaken, bad stood firmly and unwaver- ingly at bia "ids.

II certainly did not happen officially ; tbal on* might have considered oowardiw ; it was at an accidental msetiug betweeu u> two alone, where I once again offered him my band." " That yoo could nol do ! Off jr your baud to bat man I" interposed tbe engineer none II.. " My O d 1 but in truth, yoo as yet know nothing" I could not ? ' repeated Arthur soms- what sharply. " Wn- do you mean by tbal, Mr ? 00 may bo auured Ibat I know bow to fully maintain my dignity, even on nob an occasion as tbat." Ibe iffiaer bad already recovered his tell control. " I beg your pardon, Herr It-rkow," be said. " My expression was not intended a* a oritioism upon our obief ; il referred only to tbe son, who certainly bae no suspicion of the reports connected with bis lather's death. We had pledged our word to say nothing of Iboae to yon, and we did this with Ibe best intention)). But I now see tbtt we were wrong, tbal you ought to know. You would bave offered yoor band to Hartmann ; and Ibis, I repeal, should nol be." Arthur looked fixedly al him. His face bad all at ouce become colorless, and the lipt trembled. "Too tpeak ot Harlmann and ot my lather'* death Ii there any connection between Ibe two? ' II 1 tear to ; we all fear il. Common suspicion attaches to Hartmann, and not alone with us a no among hit comrades." " At tbat time, in the mines ?" broke out Arlbur in fearful excitement. " A treaob erous attack against a defenceless man ? I cannot believe tbat of Htrtmann." " He bated tbe dead man," laid the obief engineer i iguificantly ; " and at never denied this haired. Herr Berkow might bave enraged him by a command, by a word.

Theoretically, black would bs preferable for winter nse, a it is a better uon-condnetor ol heal and a better absorber ol moisture than any other color, other things being equal ; but il would probably be difficult to get people to clothe themselves in clothing of ibis color or to find tbe ueotcsary articles in tbe shops. Il ia tbe fashion now to bave all the underclothing made ot the knu material called " stockinet," bat I am quite sure Ibat flannel shirts and drawer*, snob at oar ancestors need, are preferable lor winter DM, and a mixture of wool and cotton for summer. The chief objection to stockinet is that ths garments made of it fit too eloaely to tbe skin to be comforta- ble or to tain! all tbe objects to bo obtained from uadarolotbing. Wbeu, however, tbe garments are made out of piece goods, and expressly for tbe person who it to wear them, they cannot be so formed at to embrace ths body as tightly ae though they were made ot India robber. Strata of air, therefore, are formed at various point*, and these do help to retain tbe beat. If itookinet be used, tbe artioles made of it should be large and roomy, ana should not, therefore, fie close to the *kin. Dr. Ham- mond.
