You ean go forward to the altar where the Count d’Entremer awaits you, or back the way we come. In the latter case my guards will attend upon you, and you will be forced to witness how bravely the prince endures his tortures ’” It is not likely the king would have per- formed an iota of this grandiloquent threat ; but Nathalie could have given credence to apy evil from him. She trembled an instant, and then with a firm step went forward, placed ber hand in the Count d’Entremer’s—never seen by her beforé—and being quickly and fr- Tevocably pronounced his wife,- received the congratulations of the smiling kiag and the few witnesses Leaning against the altar, pallid and cold as sculpture, the firat object that her married eyes discerned was Le Nor man. He moved forward, with an expression as if every second time was a sharp sword that stabbed him, and appeared to offer his com- pliments “ What ardor!’ he murmured; ‘‘ what sin cerity! what constancy! Madame la Comp- tesse is as firm as a rock in her determination to be faithless as shifting sand ! * * * * * Ad ° Time, too fast for the most of us, lagged sad ly with the foung countess, scarcely more than a child as she sighed far away in distant France, and from the windows of her chateau, watched the shadows come and go on the pur ple Pyrenean slopes, while her husband was abseut the greater part of the time at Paris, or at the court she bad so lately left. Time acsed not slowly with the prince; indeed, La Norman witnessed a thousand events for every ore in the monotonous years of the Countess ad Eatremer. Having recovered from the first severe shock of his loss and disappointment, with the native energy of-his nature, not doeming it right to waste his life in idle des- pair, he wonderiully bestirred himse!f—saper intending the education of his brother, ar ranging scientific expeditions, and performing all duties devolving upon him, but steadfastly refusing tho royal match urged by his father, and clinging to the loose fragments of the love of earlier days. Ten years had elapsed since the death of his father and his own coronsation—his brother had entered into manhood, and Le Norman, as the King, bad already command- ed the admiration of all Europe by his daring genius, when the Count d’Entremer appeared again at court after a short absence, and for the first time since bis marriage brought the countess Of cource all the world were on the qui viveto Behold the meeting; but all the world found very little satisfaction in the calm nonchalant air of the countess, ag she received the rather sarcastically polite wel- come of the king; for though not quite twen- ty-five, she was in the full bloom of woman- hood, and perhaps lovelier, and with a better balanced mind than if she had not experienc- ed these long, lonely years. A few weoks had elapsed, and in one of the sea shore palaces the whole court were assem bied at summer festivities. The royal abode wason 4 cliff, which afforded in front of the building a promenade of several hundred yards, and abruptly terminatirg ip a preci- pice, whose base was washed by the sca. On this cliff, one afternoon, a party of courtiers— among whom wastbe king, his brother, and the Countess d’Entremer were watching the approsch of a small boat, which, out on a fish- ing excursion, could hardly hope to make the shore before the squall should burst upon it Jirect in the prow, a keen eye could not fail to recognize the lofty figure of the Count d’En- tremer. Leaning breathlessly over the cliff, Nathalie remained with her eyes fixed on the boat; for although she had no manner of affection for the husband forced upon her, she could not view his danger with indifference, nor desire anything but his happiness The boat was still far distant, the wind increasing—already it fluttered the ends of her white scarf into the sir across the brink of the precipice, as with hands slightly extended forward she stood silent and motionless. The courtiers withdrew a little, and the king and herself remained nearest together upon the edge. Great rain drops fell, dashing dawn the bands of her hair, and soaking ber garments, yet still she stood heedless of it The count saw her, for, dofing his cap, he raised his hands to his lips with a knightly gesture, and waved ittowerd her He wasso near that the wind might be seen lifting his hair, when the little mast cracked and broke, dragged the boat down, and precipitated the occupants into the roaring gulf. He was a strong swimmer, for after every wave broke its crest over him he was seen riding the next one triumphant. Now lost to sight, now again appearing, now supporting a fainting comrade, and now with rapid strokes parting the waves— a weeker man would havesunk long ago. The rain and the spray mingled their strength with the wind and the waves, and a thick, white, curling mist arose and hung round him, clcs- ing him out from the sight of his wife, and hiding his beacon star from him. At last the wind veored, and the mist cleared away ; lit- tle patches of blue sky smiled out from the south and west, and the waves rocked ‘o and fro in stray sunshine The countess still strained her eyes surveying the broad vacant expanse; but neither count nor fisherman was there; and at the end of an hour's in- tense watching. three bodies were toszed high upon the strand. One was that of the Count d’Entremer. Nathalie, with outstretched hands, instantly fell senselees . A year’s seolusion—due not to grief, but to respect—had passed. and the leafy echo of Ardennes had lulled Nathalie, for the moment, into complete forgetfulness of the last eleven years—and again she sat beneath the oaks and plucked the flowers growing in the self- same nook asia her girlhood. All but the first fifteen years of her life seemed visionar: as adream; and consonant with all around, tho distant bugle of some royal hunting party stole upon her ear like ‘horns of elt-land faintly blowing,”’ and thus when one stood before her in a garb of Lincoln green, leading a red roan need, it seemed as if all the inter val had never been; and looking up merrily, she said ‘‘ It is my birth day to-day, Le Nor- men! I am—but here, as she would have gaid ‘‘fifteen,’’ memory rushed back on her, and hiding her face in her hands, she turned and would have fled, but his voice sternly arreated her.

The new king stepped aside, while all the world wondered the reason of so great s sacri- fice. The reason? It came through the open door of an inner chapel, where Nathalie, un- attended by any one save the spirit gf radiant beauty, issued, and advancing, ber hand in that of the abdicated Fiat, Le Nor- man; and beneath the benedictal hand of the patriarchal archbishop, was declared the wife of the Count of Nassau.

After a while he locked the door, and with the mort dreadful threats de- clared that he would murder her unless she at once gave bim the 800 francs The woman, being eericusly alarmed, took him to her chamber, snd gave him themoney. The man then declared that he must murder her to prevent ber from accusing bim; and he com- manded her tossy what kind cf death she “would prefer. The poor woman prayed for mercy, but he peremptorily told her that she must either die by rope or by the knife, and she at last selected hanging. The man then tied her hands bebind her beck, and fastened her to the bedetead. He afterwards mounted on a chair to fix a rope to a beam, and made a runing noose at theend. Having duly fas- tened the rope, he put his arm into the noose to eee if the latter would slip well; at that moment the woman, with great of ind, gave a violent kick to the chair, which fell, and the man remained suspended by the arm. He roared for help, and the woman cried out ‘‘ murder;’’ but there was no one but themeecives in the chateau or its depend- encies, and they werenctheard They accord- ingly remained in their respective positions, the man suffering dreadful agony, until morn- ing, when their cries attracted the attention of the laborers.
