Tho- next day tho artist took up his abouje in
tho*Leop<Nldstadtr...'FrftnijYw.windows be...oo?>tJ.
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.
Tho Bame evening his'hostess informed <h im
that some one had been making inquiries about
him, his name, his cuuntry, Iiis habits,, and the
motive of. his stay at Vienna. Frederick had
no ? difficulty in guessing from whence these
questions proceeded; he had been recognised;
he saw all the danger of remaining in a coun
try without- friends or protection, and in pos
session of n secret of which some people would
like to etisurc tho safety at any prico; ho con
sequently rciolvcd to bo on his guard; and act
with the greatest circumspection.
Several days passed away, tho windows of |
tho hotel opposite romuined hermetically closed
and Gamier began to fear that the unknown
was gone.
One'evening hp went to tho opera with the
doctor; the two first acts had already been
played, and the curtain was about to rise for
tho third, whon Garnior felt a paper between
his fingers; tho hand which had hold it was
immediately withdrawn, and boforo ho had
timo to turn round to look for tho secret mes
senger, hp hoard tho door of the next box close.
The note contained those.worda';
."Go to tho Huohess lloimberg's masked ball
on Thursday drossed in an Albanian oostume,
and if one/should ask you, 'What do you
want V answor, 'I do not know.' "
Lcblanc had boon invited to this bidl; Gar
nier therefore wont dressed in tho required cos
tunio. His iu\patictioo had mado bhn nntici*
pato tho customary hour, so that y.'beu ho ar
rived there wero but few persons present.
After; having cxamiued nil the masks who
were time,.Frederick took up his position near
the door, to sec tho others as they entered, hop
ing that 1$ chance would cause him to discover
v,,per:-Vm be expected ; bur- the crowd roon

ranged plot to force me to accept of a favor;
but this f*vor, I wish to know why and on
what conditions it was grauted, -Was it the
reocmponao of my silcnco, or'of some service
which I had rendered you ?"
"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." ?
Tho Hungarian laid his hand on his poniard,
and Frederick on his yataghan; but, at the

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. Hungarian turned round
(.simultaneously. Tho countess was standing iu
thfi door-way. /
"Margaret t" oxclaimed tho count, "what do
you want hero. V
"To hinder you from committing a crime.
"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."
"Youarc mistaken, sir; for I loved him ar
dently, fervently,-before I was compelled to be
come your wife, and I loved him still more af
terwards. You had him condemned for. a sup
posej^crime before bur, voyage to France, yet.

'"Ho!?it'simpossible." -?'.~v^?
"You were absent, sir, engaged in political

The 'count str?tched out Iiis hand towards

The oouutcss buried her face in her bauds,
and sobhed aloud."
"You will now easily understand," rejoiued
she, after a long silencox "why I was so^ dis

with astonishment?"You will quit Vienna'to

The young man started, and was about to
answer, but the couutcss looked at him. "It
shall be so," said be coldly.
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.'

two friends had a long conversation togr ^th ?jr.
