tha first week of her honeymoon; bot to
poor Princess Kereteenyi that ona week
had seemed longer than a year.
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

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

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

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

skirted the brink of a precipice so terrific
that few men would have cared to pass
it even at a walk.

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

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

But veu tn the first shock of that fear

journeying by herself wassure to attract

What could she do? Oh, if she had but
one frieud ontsido the walls with whom
she could communicate! But where was
such a friend to be found? And then
there came back to her, bitterly enough,
the thought of th man who would have
given his life to save her, and who, ac
cording to popular rumor, had killed
himself in despair at her lietrayal ol

the defenders might shower their mlt

turret bore the grim title of "Th Pit
Tower," a name fearfully explained by
tha traces of a large circular opening Iu
the pavement of the highest platform,
which, though now covered over with
moldering and weather worn flagHtones,

Peeping tremblingly through the
