I have kept U on my person day and night through many perils and vicissitudes, but It is safe, and ao are all tha valuable gems of the Languedoc family. You may lack the grandeur of the old days, but poverty you will never need to fear. Noble, generoua Emile!" echoed one and all; "you have done all for as, nothing for yourself." He smiled dreamily. Lady Felicia drew his stately head down to her Ups, and whisper! something In his ear. He smile again, kissed her fondly, ' and turned away hastily. What did you say, my child? naked the countess. I made him a promise; sometime I'll tell you what H waa Oh, mamma, mamma, how can wa he thankful enough for this joyful ending of our trouble! V Tbe other passengers had discreetly retired. Jeannot had retreated after Emile, and now Edward Jules fltscov-ere- d it were judicious for him also to leava the agitated mother and daughter to themselves. It was a long and perfectly open conversation which ensued. And the good ship sped on her way, and bore them all safely to the friendly English shore. They found a pretty country seat A little distance from the seashore, bat whose cupola gave a glimpse of the blue waves stretching toward their poor, distracted, but still dearly beloved France, an thither they all went. Jules and Felicia were to be married at once, in tbe moat private and unostentatious manner. Emile waa vary grave, and very restless after tha day waa actually fixed upon. . Lady Felicle had watched him anxiously, and one morning ahe suddenly seized hla hand, and with an arch amlle, though a dewy eye, ahe led him to tbe easy chair where her mother aat looking out thoughtfully into the sunny garden. Hpr new found happlneaa, and clothing becoming her station, had wrought a marvelous change in the appearance of the countess. A soft color restored the youthful outline to her face, tha peaceful look In the dark eyes, tbe becoming head dress, all had restored as if by magic, her olden beauty. . Try, dearest Emile, and remember that I have promised It, cried Felicia, " ; and ran hastily away. What followed waa too sacred for Felicle even to inquire about, much more, then, for me to give to pen description. But In a little more than an hour, they came out to the garden where Felicle and Edward were waiting In painful suspense A single glance showed the young couple what had happened. What a serene peace deepened the tints of Emile's eagle eyes, what a sweet content nestled around tha llpa of the countess! Fellele aald Emile, "my child Indeed; we will have a double wedding. Felicle kissed them both In extravagance of delight. And so both members of the haughty count's family parted with The proud name of Languedoc. ' Neither ever repented it They lived in. England In peace and qnlet, until tranquillity returned to France, when they sought again her beloved shores. The End. U XXIV. Conti sc so i Oh. yes, my young lady. Ill tell nil about It; and indeed. It warms np the old mans heart to nee that pleaaaat smile of yours again so much that I can tell it briskly You remember the terrible night there, there, I wont talk of It! I won't say a word more than I can help, it makes me shiver myself. We servants were half frightened to death, such of us as were not In that wretch of an M. Pierre's plot, and we huddled together, not knowing what to do, for they wouldnt let ua fly away from the chateau. We guessed what terrible thing was happening, but couldnt get neat you to see, until the new band came, the masked men, which drove M. Pierre's folks away. Then, while they were fighting outside, I crept into the chapel. My old blood quite froze in my veins at the sight I saw; I thought you were all killed. I was going to try to bring a little life to those who showed no wounds; but I heard some one coming through the broken window, and 1 ran away as fasi as I could; 1 thought 1 should be killed for being there, so I ran and hid away till everything was quietj When I came out I found most of the servants gone; hut there lay poor Victoriea body right in the corridor.

The men followed him, and so I hurried 'In and took my last look, as I expected, of my dear mistress. While I waa bending over her, I saw a little fluttering beating at her throat. I put my ear hastily to her heart; It was a minute before 1 could make sure, then I knew aha waa not dead. I stood a moment wringing my hands, not knowing what to do; then some good saint put it Into my head to think of Victoria lying there dead. I tore out into the corridor and brought the body In, changed the ornaments and mantles, and put the long training silk skirt of the countess on the dead girl, and the peasant cloak 1 wrapped around my mistress. "The masked people came and carried the poor Victoria to the grave Instead of her mistress. They seemed expecting M.
