Tflfeo^ hottrt,'; .tllCTt^' i'ore deterniiued-fo watch until he ha'd unrav elled tho etiigma vyhich had so long puzzled him. Amongst the windows opposite he had romarked two, the blinds of which wero alwa3's .dovnj these ho observed particularly, imagin ing that this must bo the .countess' apartment. The third day one of these windows opened, and the Hungarian came forward and leaned on tho balustrade Frederick now lifted up tho curtain of'tho window, behind which he had until then concealed himself; his eyes were strained upon the open casement, for ho imagined that at tho extremity of the apart ment he peveoived the form of a woman. He was not mistaken, for a few nfomcnls after she advanced towards her husband, her eyes cast down?he seemed to speak to her, for sudden ly sho looked up, and tho first object she per cived was (Jarnier; the young man made an effort to retire, but.it waa too late: he saw her stretch out both her bunds, utter a piercimr ery, and fall backwards. Gamier remained a few moments motionless, not daring to stir: but ho soon heard the win dow opposite close with violence, and. when he again ventured to look, the Hungarian and the stranger had both disappeared.

"Eoth, sir." "Then I refuse it. madam; positively and absolutely refuse it," exclaimed Frederick j warmly ; "I neither sell my services nor my discretion." "For heaven's sake, sir, listen me?you came bore, you,sa\'3 to servo me; let it suffice you to know .that all that has passed is irreparable.? that my misery now weighs only upon myself, j that your presence may ruin but cannot profit nio in the least. I am a slave, chained in the den of a wild beast, who in his rage would kill me. The secret ycu ask me for, sir, would, were it known, cost me my life. O! I beseech you, leave 'Vienna?return into France?you do not know the dangers to which yon are ex posed here?you have already excited tho count's jealousy?you are watched, beset with spies. It required the chance and tumult of this ball to bring about an interview; perhaps, even now, is he searching for me." Having pronounced these words, tho young woman looked anxiously around her. Sudden ly her eyes remained fixed on something at the further end of the library. She drew back with a gesture of terror. Frederick, who had .eagerly-watched all her movements, perceived iu-?-, looking-glass the reflection of a head peep ing through the door, which was ajar; lie uttered an exclamation of surprise, and ad vanced towards tho door; but it suddenly opened, and a man dressed in an Armenian eos tuuio appeared on the threshold. "I disturb you," said he, in a hollow voice. The stranger drow back, trembling and dis tracted. "What do you want, sir ? how daro you list en to us? ail;cd Frederick. ? Without making any answer, the Armenian endeavored to approach the young woman, but Frederick placed himself on his passage; the two men stood confronting each other in an at titude of provocation and profound hatred. All of a sudden tho Armenian tore off his mask and discovered to view tho savage countenance of the Hungarian nobleman. "Do you recoguiso me now ?" asked he, with an accent of ungovernable rage. "I do not possess the nrt of reading peo ple's names on their faces," replied Frederick coolly. . "Perhaps your companion will be nioro clovor than you/.' rejoined tho Armenian, ad vancing. "Hack, sir." . "Down with your masks!" j "Hack, ! toll you." ?

After this discourse tho count sat' down, as if tp show" thereby that his resolution was im movably taken. On examining the objects wluch were scattered about on tho marble slab of the chimncy-picce, be unwittingly took up Ijjthe medallion which Henry had fouud at! Basle ; he turned it and recognised the portrait of the countess. He sprang from, his chair, uttered a cry of j rage, and gnashing his teeth, exclaimed, "I will' this instant'go and fetch my arms; in an hour J I shall return, and if you still refuse to fight me, I will kill you." Frederick remained buried in deep reflection. It was now that he bitterly repented the conse quence:! of his imprudent curiosity/ The scene which bad taken place at the.Duchess llcim burg's, and the Hungarian's violent jealousy, had made him resolve tu be prudent; but it was now too late; the count's provocation hud wound up the affair in the most gloomy mau ner possible. It was cortainly very easy for him to correct the error which had brought about the quarrel, but he would then be obliged to tell all that he knew, to reveal a sccrect on which the honor, the life of-a woman depend ed ; and this he considered be could not do without the basest cowardice.. He consequent ly, resolved to abide by his destiny, whatever it might be. To this effect he wrote, a letter to Leblanc, relating to him all that bad passed, and giving him his last instructions iu case he should succumb. He'folded it up, and was about to write the direction, when the .count again appeared, bidding in bis band two duel ling-pistols. . "I shall bo at your service in one moment," said Frederick. ???' The count laid down hi?ju^??^m The ehim . ncy -piece. - - (iarnicr sealed his letter, wrote the direction, and roso up. "Dolore we go out, sir," a?"ul he, "I wish to say one word; it shall bc- t'nclast: I declare, on my honor, that I ncvev loved the countess, that I have only scon her Iwico; that T do not even know her name ; that this por trait, which you suppose to be a token of lovo^ was found by nie at an inn at r,nsio, where sho had forgotten it." "Liar, liar !?and the letter V' "The letter!?she who wrote it has alono tho power and tho rite to explain it, sir." "And sho will," said a calm, solomn voieo. Frederick and the.

"Begone, begone, I say." "Not w ithout you, count." " Ah I nro you afraid of your lover ?"' She east, upon the Irungayian a long look of dis^m-t, and contempt. "My lover !" said sho, ,with a faltering Voice, "you know very well that he is -not here." "But this lottef?this letter, madam-??? "HaYb yon forgotten a youug mbn to whom I was affianced, and whom, coward-like, you thrown liko a vile malefactor into prison?" "Frantz has nothing te do with this affair madam."

The count then seized his wiftts arm, who shuddered beneath his graBp, and they .both disappeared. jgjjfes* A month after, Frederick met iii Paris, l/fa.' blanc. who had just arrived from Vienna, fx'lio two friends had a long conversation togr ^th ?jr.
