But I suspect now that I was at some pains to make myself agree- able, and perhaps even to cause myself to be thought rather brilliant. Neither was hard to do with too poor nunlike women such as those of whem I speak. Upon the whole, then, it was pleasant o- nough. Of courses 1 detested the piano and the French lessons; but these being through by noon, what came afterward made up for their dreariness too fold. Aur- olia always entered with Herr Lichtenstein, and conversation got afoot and there was liveli ficient It happened that, one evening, when subjects had nearly given out, our German friend told h's story.--Upen this circum- stance hinges in some degree the narrative which I am about to give here; for follow- ing it came a curious confession from Aur- elis. It is perfectly out of my power to produce either the matter of Herr Lich. tenstein's or the manner in which it was delivered. I chiefly remember how hard it was to get him to commence, how much difficulty we had in keeping his wig out of the lamp while he was going on, the dread- ful alarm we were in lest he should burn his knees every time he upset his pipe, which he did at the end of es paragraph; and, above all the tronble we experienced in inducing him to leave off. As it was, beginning with the period when Napoleon was in the artillary at Toulon, our enter- tainer by midnight had only reached the assession upon the throne of Austria of the prese :t emperor, Francis Joseph. The story of Herr Lichtenstein himself, however, was very simple. He soomed, to say the truth, to have spent his whole life in escaping from German prisons. 1 | think he must have been a very discontetned character in his youth, and but that his instibility brought him afterward such suffering, I should not even feel pity for him in the least. The principal exercise of fortitude which he had endured appeal- ed te have been a year's confinement by ac- cident in a dungeon at Naples. ' It'was beyond imagination, the hole," he said. "Day and night were to me all the same. Drugged and unconscious, I was thrust in; and there I lay, forgotten months and months." Then he went on with the details. A |- man is commonly eloquent enough when speaking about himself; but I never heard such startling language as fell from the lips of this poor old victim. ItwasasI said, quite twelve o'clock before the spell of his narrative 'was broken. Then by a simiultaneous impulse we all looked up. Eulalis darted a glance across at me. "Why, you have tears in your eyes! she cried, Isughing sway those in hee own. It was true.

At first I was quite startled and even provoked that she got on so badly. The music J were ful e- nough, though now I often wonder if half of Eulalie's proficiency was not due more to her quick sur and general clearness than to auy superab of ctice. But the French lessons, especially those un- Compromisingirregular verbs, which never Can' be relied on beyond their present tense, were nearly absolute failures.-- However, with a little patience, I bore the adverse circumstances of my life at Glynmont tolerable well, and took what was agreeable'in it with, of course, double pleasure. Perhaps I should have known when I | first accepted the offer of the tutorship of { the two girls--for in some sense I; was tut- or to Aurelia also--that I was about to place myself in a very hazardous position. They had lived so little in the werld, and lived so little out of it, that two such ex- trees coming together must produce one or the other of very obvious results. Yet some one to occupy the pisition was neces- sary, and as I deemed that I needed it rather more than most people, I embrac- od my opportunity at tho instant its exis- 'tance was brought to my notice. I found Glyment secluded indeed; no one resid- ent within its confines except Aurelia Eul- alie, poorold Lichtenstein, and the serv- ants; so in truth even my coming was the of event by which afterward to measure an } At léngth the iciness--if I may use so decided a term--of our intersourse wore off. © Not more than a month had passed before 1 found myself completely a part of the household. It was the early spring. Through the crystal mornings Eulalie sat with me in the library, going over the books, and, like the fast arriving birds sweetening the air with music. Certainly I must assert most earnestly that she was an exqusite girl. There was something about her so dainty and fragile, so tender and full of grace, that [ was mad to place my pen at the task of furnishing anything like a description. But it was many weeks before | knew that I loved her; though now I believe that in truth she had won my battered and worn heart at the moment it first throbbed in her presence. Aurelia vet herself the wearisome bus- of looking after poor and old grand- Licthenstein, just as soon as it grew warm enough for him to be led up and down the garden, and the less heavy task of nearly every day coming in to observe what progress her sister was making in my hands. Iwas always pleased to wee her, because she was quite grand and clever (some people might have said quite stately and learned) and because she seemed very Bulalie told me; so much out of my way' indeed, that she never knew Aurelia before The light she held in her hand flickered against the wall, and her face wore a smile sweeter and softer than any I had ever seen there before. . * You have a good heart Richard." she whispered. *'I never thought so much of you as [ do this ni tht." In the next instant the shadow had fallen from the wall, and the echo of re- treating footsteps was all that disturbed the gloom and silence. CHAPTER II.--DOWN THE STONE STAIRS. I went on loving Eulalic more passion- ately than ever. By the blush in her cheek, and the tremor of her hand when it touched mine, I speedily perceived that the feeling was returned. At last one day, oddly enough, just when I had determined not to make any confession as yet, I im- pulsively told all. The poor child laughed a great deal, then became fluttered, and finally, in the most absurd but most de- lightful manner, burst into tears. . "You are not angry or hurt, Eulalie]" "No, no, Richard," she whispered, "but so happy!" Then I soothed her and presently all was well again. After that [ must admit that the lessons were but feeble. We were desperately intent upon them, of course, when Aurelia came in; but once she had disappeared, the books dropped to the floor, and the keys of the piano were sil, ent. In short to sum up all Eulalie leara. od during my whole direction, I need name of the French verbs, aimer, and of the song, two or three exceedingly tender ones in Italian, but these she was mistress Yet now, to my continually growing surprise, Aurelia began to drop in gn us oftener than ever. Sometimes she through the entire morning. Nay, even when Edialie was not by, after hours-- when I was somewhere reading or saunt- ering about-~she more than once spproach- ed and began a conversation of her own record. Two ideas presented themselves as solutions to the mystery, either Aurelia, suspending what was on foot, had deter. mined to stop its progress, or had deter- mined to draw me into her confidence and immediately given ber cunsent. fn any event, it was my proper course to be as agreeable as possible. So I grew more devote and solicitous then ever. If I had been in love with Aurelia instead of Eulalie, I could not have made a iid show of my feelings. At last I determined to tell all. Eulalie seemed to be growing a little unhappy-- over the delay, as it appeared to me---and to drive these feelings away, I suggested that we should no longer keep our love » secret. "Yes, yes!" she cried out, with a fright- ened face. "" Why!" I demanded. Bat giving me no reply, she darted off to her room. It was a whole afternoon before I saw her again. When she finally appeared, I begged some explanation. "I was nervous, Ric " she answer. I endeavoured to console her by Lsenting that the matter could not be hid much longer, at any rate. So, at last, in tears again, my poor girl consented. The next day [saw from my window, Aurelia walking with Herr Lichtenstein down by the Buttery. This was a gloomy grim sort of place at the extreme end of the house. I descended quickly end joined the two in their promenade, Tq come gradually to the main subject, I bey gan by talking carelessly about the pecu liar ghoulish situstion of this quarter of the mansion. ¥ You have mever been below, have youl" asked Aurslia. *'Let me intro duce you snd Herr Lichtens'ein. It will recall to both minds the Naples dungeon." We went down the slimy stone steps, which rocked beneath our tread, snd came into » vast chamber. The ve diy and chilly, and the edor of most unple: sant. "Well," said our German friend, after looking around awhile with much interest, "lot us see the other--the other reom." "The other!" echoed Aurelia, *'thete is no other!" . "But there must be, my child," sisted Herr Lichtenstein. *' You perceive that 'this is the foundation of the [left wing; but what we see is too little | be all of it." 1 Suddenly Aurelia put her hand to her forehead. "It must be indeed true," she whis- pered, much startled; 'for I remember, when a little girl, to have often heard the old servants speak of the lost Room! * Whereupon we all proceeded to test the walls, But solid rock bounded us upen every side. - Naturally, then, we laughed at the ides of there being any other room at all, and immediately set down the legend as a ridiculous fiction. Bat I think Herr Lichtenstein had some faint hopes still, since he presently left us, and went above to try what might be learned from the servants. It was my opportunity! ' Aurelia," said I, coming closer to her, "I think we have been friends long enough to be 'free to express to each other our inmost words aad thoughts. May | tell you something?" I took her hand. It trembled in mine, and I fancied for an instant that I heard her heart beat. Yet I could not- divine whether the response to the question I was about to put would be good or ill. "1 will listen, Richard," she said, in s voice of much emotion. | Nerving myself by sa effort, I cen: tinued, boldly! "1 love Eulalie, and she lovesme. Wo wish your consent to this mutual affec tion." But, to wy consternation, the next thing I saw was Aurelia falling in a dead swoon upon the damp floor. I turned to rush forth for assistance, but as I sat with my face toward the light, I saw it darken- ed by the shadow of some one crossing it, and I heard hasty footsteys ascending the stone stairway. Dusk was closing in when I had my op- portunity to confer privately with Euldlie. She had kept until this hour within her room. - A$ first | imagined her seclusion was caused by the sudden shock of meet- ing Aurelia carried in her strange sorrow into the house; but soon--soun did I alter my opinion, My poor love was weeping wilder tears than ever, Tom perceive now, Richard," she said, *' what our cruelty has done!" 14 was nothing, dearest," I answered. " Aurelia, a8 you know, has already re- covered. Hor nerves wore alittle startled; 1 think, by perceiving some one listening to her as she ed to me. An instant afterward 1 eo the discovery myself. Who could this person have been?" Eulalie did not reply. "I searched everywhere," I continued, "but found no trace. And yet I amquite sure it was not mere fancy or imagination, though Herr Lichtenstein insists that it was. To convince me, he has been inves- lot that rest. You see the day is waning, and we must both go in. Tell me mow, upon this spot, and at this holy twilight hour, whether you will ever be my wife!" | 5 And still no answer. "It this be not love for you that I feel, Ealalie, there is no love in the werld!" But I must know all darling--~whether 1 may hope, or whether I must despair." Bhe held forth her hand. I took it She looked into my eyes. " To-morruw!" she ssid.

"I succeeded in finding this at the foct of | the stairway, if that be success. Take it --and my good-night." And coughing ss before, he limped off to bed. I ascended to the second corridor, and standing under the lamp that hung out- side my door, I read the name upon the cambfis. It was Eulalie's name. "She then," T exclaimed, "" was thes listener!
