"Ah! do yoa feel tike that too? Well, :
If very odd, but every one that looks 1
at him says the same. The first time I
ever saw him I felt just as I used to feel
when I was a child over the pictures of ,
those dreadful enchanted men in the!
fairy tales who, when midnight came,
turned into wolves or tigers or devils,
and devoured every one within reach." j
No one who knew them would have
laid an overvivid imagination to the'
charge of the two worthy burghers who
were gossiping Urns in the main street .
of Marseilles; yet this man had strange- j
ly impressed tbera both, and the inipres-'
ion (for which there seemed to be no
possible reason) was exactly the same in
. both cases.
Meanwhile the subject of their talk
a tall, fine looking man in the prime of
life, wearing a handsome thoogh rather
theatrical Hungarian dress, which set
off his noble figure to full advantage :
went slowly along the opposite sidewalk, ;
with his head bent down as if in deep
thonght, and seemingly nnconsrkms of
the admiring glances shot at him by ;
many passing ladies.
Suddenly he raised his head as if he
had come to some final decision on the
subject that was occupying hia thoughts.
As he did so his eyes met those of a tiny
girl who was being carried past him in
the arms of a stout market woman. A
moment before the child had been laugh-1
ing gleefully and playing with the fringe ;
of her mother shawl, but as she encoun-
tared the piercing glance of those large, I
black, fiery eyes, she trembled and' began
to cry.
"Ood protect nsl" muttered the moth
er, hastily signing the cross over the
shuddering infant; "that man most
surely have the evil eye!'
As the stranger passed on two men
who were chatting at the door of a large
stone house turned to look at him.
"If that fellow were only a poor man
Td hire him for a model this very day,"
said the taller of the two, a distinguished
French artist, in a tone of irrepressible
enthusiasm. "His face is worthy of Van
dyke." "Worthy of The Police Gazette, you
mean," growled his companion, who wag

self. "Mark my words, friend Victor, ,
that man will commit some horrible
crime one day or other, if indeed he1
hasn't done it already V I
And who then was this man who'
seemea to inspire sncn a universal reel- i
tng or mingled horror and admiration? I
This was the very question which '
every one in Marseilles was asking, and .
which no one seemed able to answer. '
All that was as yet known of the stran- i
ger was that he had arrived from Paris '
a few weeks before, attended by half a
dozen fierce looking fellows in the dress ;
of Hungarian foresters; that he had
gone straight to the largest hotel and
taken a whole suite of rooms to himself
at a cost worthy of Dumas' Count of
MonteCristo, in the name of "Prince Ke-'
letsenvi. Janoszcastle.SonthfirnTranBvl-:
vania," and that at a public ball two
days after his arrival he had signalized !
his entrance into local society by a feat '
that made him at once the talk of the
whole town, j
Among the guests at the ball was a :
certain dragoon captain, .Louis Jm Val
by name, a noted bully and duelist, who
was always on the lookout for a quar
rel. He was standing amid a circle of

than this
homage from a man who had the whole
fashionable world of Marseilles at his
feet; for in France and in most other
oountriee too, for that matter any one
who has tlie reputation of being very
rich and very wicked, with the addi
tional merit of having mnrdered a man
either in the ceremonious form of a duel
or in the simpler and more usual way, is
certain to achieve an immense popular
ity; and Prince Keretaenyi received
much attention from the local beauties
that had he been a Turk or a Mormon
he might have taken away with him
wives enough to stock an entire harem.
It was true that in her inmost heart
Madeleine felt an instinctive shrinking
frotn this mysterious and terrible suitor,
who, when they first met, had darted at
her a look of fierce and h angry admira
tion which scared her with a sodden and
ghastly memory of a frightful picture
that she had once seen in her childhood,
where a wolf, standing over a helpless
child in the snow, was just about to bury
im cruel fang in the infant's throat. It
was also true that she had had her own
dreams of ideal bliss, and that her part
ner in those dreams wore not the tower
ing form and tiger like beauty of Keret-
senyi, bat the likeness of the bright
haired boy who had been the chosen i
playmate of her childhood. But her.
father wonld not bear a word of Heuri i
de Mortemart, and of course her father
must know best
This last consideration, combined with
Eereteenyi's extraordinary personal
beanty, the splendid presents which he
was always making' her, bis renown a
j the conqueror of the most dreaded and
; formidable duelist in the whole district,
and, above all, the weird, indefinable
fascination which seemed to attach it-
) self to everything that he did or said,
was strong enongh to stifle in Made
leine's heart the warning instinct which
bade her beware of this ill omened union;
and when once the prince had spoken
out, old De la Roche who would gladl
have sold his own soul (to say nothing of
his daughter) for a tithe of the sum
which Keretsenyi offered to settle on his
bride took good care that there should
be no nndue delay in the celebration of
the marriage.
Thus it came to pass that one evening
in the early autumn of that year two
gossips met on the broad white pave
ment of the Cannebiere, and one of them
said to the other:
Well, M. le Prince has certainly
maae a sncces&iol anmmer campaign
among tt; he has beaten the best man
and married the prettiest woman in afi
Marseilles."
"And Henri de Mortemart?" asked his
friend; "how does he like to see his
'soul's adored' in the arms of another
man?"
"He likes it so little, poor fellow! that

Poor Princess Madeleine had a k)ng
and weary journey to her new home
amid the distant Carpathian mountains,
in the wild border land between Transyl-
vania and Wallachia, for her grim
bridftgroom, as if spurred by a mad im
patience to see his ancient castle once
more, hurried forward night and day
without e er pausing to rent, seemingly

Who I Kombrandt?
Great excitement tins been caused in
the artistic world of Germany by a book
entitled "Who Is Henibriuidti" by Max
Laatner, who contends tlutt a great part
of the paintings attributed to Betnbraudt
are the work of one of his scholars, Ferdi
nand Bol. With a new photographic
magnifying process, invented by him
self, he discovered, he says, on a great
number of works bearing the name of
Rembrandt the clear traces of the name
of Ferdinand Bol, scratched in the orig
inal fresh paint, and under the varnish.
Thus, in the case of the celebrated pict
ure "Joseph and Potiphar's Wife," pur-"
chased at a high price by the Berlin
museum, the photographic apparatus
has discovered a very clear impreenion
of Bol's name to the left of the raised
foot of Potiphar's wife., on the podorital
of the seat on which she reposes. Galig
