So a simple denial from you, to the effect that you can never claim her hand, is ali that is necessary. You understand me, I trust. We seek this only for the fair lady’s own good. Of course, you must be aware that the duke would: never consent to her union with you; and yethe would wish to have your denial to show to Rosa- lind when he announees his decision. Ihave @ paper here all drawn up, and all that will be ne~ cessary 1s simply, your signature. Here— itis only a plain, Simple avowal on your part that you have no hopes nor thoughts of seek- feed band cf the lady in marriage.” s the count spoke he drew a paper from the to-om of his marten doublet, and having Opened ithe handed it towards the gunmaker. But Ruric took it not. He drew back and gazed the visitor sternly in the face. “Sir Count.” he cried, in a tone full of noble indignation, “what do you suppose Tam? De you mean to tell me that Olga, Duke of Tula, hascommissioned you to obtain such a renun- elation of me?” “Stephen,” spoke the count, turning to his companion,’ “you heard the fnstructions the duke gave me this morning?” “Aye,” returned Urzen, directing his speech to Ruric, “I did hear; and you have stated the case plainly.” “may be as much surprised as yourself,” re- sumed the count, haughtlly, “at this st taste of the duke. Why he should seck signal from you I can only imagine upon his desire to cal] up no regrets in the bosom of his fair ward. He knows that she was once inti- mate with you, and that she now feels a_ warn friendship ‘for you. For her sake he would ‘have this signal from you.” But how for hersake?” asked Ruric. “ Why,” returned Damonoff, “do you not see? Rosalind, in the ne el of her heart, may think that you—a—that you might claim her love: and out of pure principle grant it to you simply because you were the first claimant.” ut Inever claimed her love.” said Ruric, warmly. “If she loves me, she loves me from her own heart. With the noble duke I never spoke but once, and then he came here for me to temper his sword. If you would marry with. the lady, do so; and if you seek help in the work, —. it from those who have some power in the matter “ You mistake, sir, sald the count hotly. “I seek not porrer now. Tonly seek a simple word from one who may have some influence—even a a beggar, having saved the life of a king, may, through royal gratitude, wield an influence: Will you sign the paper?” Now, all this seemed very strange to Rurt and he knew that there was somel hing behing the curtain which he was not permitted to know. He knew the proud and stubborn duke well enouugh to know that he never would tave. sent such a message as this but for some desig more than had yet appeared. In short. he coul not understand the matter at all. It looked dark and complex; such conduct was in direct corfitct with the nature of the man from whom it now appeared to have emanated. Ruric pon- dered upon this a few moments, and he made up his mind that he would on no account yiel@ an atom to the strange demand thus made upon Sir Count,” he sald. calmly and firmly, “you have plainly stated your proposition, and I will as plainly answer. I cannot sign the paper.” Stal" gasped Damonoff, in’ quick passion. “Do you refuse?” “Most flatly.” For a few moments the count gazed into Rurie’s face, as though he doubted the evidence of bis own senses. “It 1s the duke’s command,” he said, at length. “The Duke of Tula holds no power of com- mand over me,” was the gunmaker’s calm re- ly. Ppeware! Once more I say: Sign this pa« rl” a You but waste your breath, Sir Count, im speaking thus. You have my answer.” “By heavens! Ruric Sere you eball sign this ti the count cried, madly. “ Never, sir.” “But look you, sirrah! Here is my whole fu- ture of life based upon my hopes of union with thisfair girl. Her guardian bids me get this pa- per of you ere I can have her hand. And now, do you think I'll give tt up so easily?” Not vit have your name to this, or I'll have your lifel” “Now your tongue runs away with you, Sir Count. Ihave given you my answer. Be sure thet only one man on earth can prevail upon me to place my name upon that paper.” “ And who ts he?” “T mean the emperor.” “ But you will sign it!" hissed Damonoff, turn- ing pale with rage. “Here it is—sign! If you would live—sign!” “Perhaps he cannot write,” suggested Urzen, contemptucusly. “Then he may make his mark,” rejoined the count, in the same contemptuous tone. “Tt might not require much more wi to induce me to make my mark in a manner not at all agreeable to you, sir,” the youth reto1 with bis teeth now set, and the dark veins upon his brow starting more plainly out. “You have come upon my premises, and you have sought your purpose. You now have your answer, and for your own sake—for iny sake—I beg you. to leave me.” The above we publish asa Soock- men Chapter; but the continuation of this story will be found only in the N. Y.
