And well it might Could a single living soul be doomed to atornal impris onment among the dead, that horrible exile would fitly represent the life (if aooh it could be called) to which Made leine found herself fettered without help or hope of doliveraooa. The grim old feudal fortress, with raa gloomy tow ers and crumbling battiomouta, its mil dewed hangings, moth aaton tajiostries and pictures moldering out of their frames, seemed hke a vast tomb itself, nod the gaunt, gliding, spectral retain- art who flitted noisekwly through its huge, desolate rooms or along its ghostly passages had the withered, gray, lifeless aspect of dried up corpse. Their very movements had a alow, mechanical heaviness utterly unlike any motion of living men, and more appalling to poor ..Madeleine than even the death like ap- pearance of their faces. But to the ill fated girl the most terri-, fying characteristic of these human ma-1 chines was their stony and unchanging silence. They never seemed to speak to each other; they never by any chance spoke to her, and when she gave an or- j deroraskeda question they either re-! plied by signs or made no reply at alL Whether they were actually dumb or whether their stern master had forbid den them to hold any communication with her, she never, from first to last.

She could not forget how, 1 "He hath naught to fear on that score. when they stood together before the altar, the cotwec rated tapers that burned on it suddenly went out (though not a breath of air was stirring), and how her old nurse had solemnly declared that a glance from the fiery eye of the terrible bridegroom had made these weaker flames tremble and expire. Nor had the forgotten how Keretsenyi, wbsn excited by an argument with one of bar father! military guests, had darted at his adver sary a look beneath which CoL De Malst a strong and courageous man in the prime of life teemed to shrink and wither like paper shriveling in the fire. What could he be, this man to whom the had bound herself forever? This man with the beauty of a god and the giance oi a aemon, accompnsned as a hero of romance, yet savage as a wolf of the forest. That some fearful tragedy J lay rjeuind tne impenetrable mystery that wrapped him like a pall she felt only too sure, and this suspicion was vaguely but terribly confirmed on the very day after tbeir arrival at Janoez castle. The two earlier meals having been taken in their own room, the evening re past waa the princess' first introduction to the great dining hall, which, having been built to hold scores of armed men, looked indescribably dreary and desolate when tenanted only by their two selves; for the silent, spectral retainers, who came and went like shadows in their black, funereal dress, only intensified the crushing sense of loneliness instead of relieving it. The bride's eyes wan dered with secret terror over the huge bare walls, the massive pillars festooned with torn and dtuty banners, the vault ed roof with its mighty cross beams of solid oak, the pine torches that flamed and crackled in their iron stands over head, and the vast antique fireplace, with its fantastic carvings, till her timid gaze rested at length upon another ob ject more strange and startling than all. Just behind her husband's tall oaken chair stood a life size wax figure (or what appeared to be such) holding a small sil ver laqjp in its outstretched hand. It represented a young man of marvelous beauty picturesquely set off by the showy uniform of a Honved husnar; but the face, instead of wearing the fixed, unmeaning stare common to such fig ures, wag writhed and distorted as if by a spasm of mortal agony, which looked bo horribly real in the fitful glare of the torchlight that Madeleine fairly started, he was just about to ask some question twycttiif tart welt nuMl, WW Kerataruri, (wfctbinff hr fciefwiriii gUuioe, replied to U with a smite mere fierce mkI eroel and terrible than hi blackest frown, which frone the half formed word on her Up.

The strong man started aa if stang by a viper, clapped her rawaionately to him for one moment, aad kissed her aa if hia whole soul went into tha caress, and then thrust her fiaraaly away and rushed headlong from tha room. The morning after this strange out- burst the prinos suddenly announced to I her that h must leave her that very ! day, on an errand which miht detain him for several weeks, aad before the had time to recover from her amazement at this unexpected news (for hitherto he had hardly let her oat of hia tight, and would never allow her to go beyond the castle gates alone) he was actually gone, and she stood wa toning his lessening figure as be spurred his black horse along a narrow, Bffxag, broken path, which skirted the brink of a precipice so terrific that few men would have cared to pass it even at a walk. netibew," answered the older man sol emnly. "It was foretold to him long ago, by a tongue which cannot lie, that no living thing, man or beast, shall have power to touch his life, and that, when his hour comes, he shall go down alive into the grave!" ! Madeleine was almost ashamed to find how immeasurably relieved f ise felt by Eeretaenyi's departure; but before many dayt were over she had good cause to wish him back again. In that lifeless atmosphere the exciting influence of . his fierce feverish vitality waa like the plunge of an avalanche into a still mountain lake; and now that he was gone the gloom and silence and otter ( loneliness of this abode of the dead wort almost more than the could hear. It was not long, too, before tha dis- covered that the ghostlike attendants who peopled her solitude were keeping a stealthy but incessant watch upon all her movements," which was even harder to endure than the jealous vigilance of , her terrible bridegroom had been. When she strolled through the neglected garden ! or the wide, bare courtyard, she would j tuddenly catch sight of a black robed, rilent form dogging her stps like a ' haunting shadow. She could not walk : the battiuments without seeing a pale. S lean, corpselike f.ice peering out at her ' from an adjoining loopholo. No op position, indeed, was made to the con tinuance of her morning rides, but when ever she ordered out her horse two of the mute phantoms that guarded her in stantly mounted their hones to bear her company. It was plain that for any victim once caught in these fatal toils there was no escape but death; and she felt instinctively that death itself wag already hovering over her, and that its stroke would not be long delayed. And now came a passing spell of wet and stormy weather that lasted for sev eral dfiys, during which Madeleine, un able to venture out, employed her en forced leisure in exploring the interior of the castle, many pru of which were Btill quite new to her. She was all tha more inclined to occupy herself in this way because here,, and here alone, she was loft umuoknUid by the ceaseless vigilance of tho spies who dogged her every movement elsewhere.
