tlm licrceness of tlm hatred that tlaiiied
in her pretty face, had determined to bit
revenged on her. lie had bad his vic

would make this black-hrowcd French
girl yet give him it soft gluiico out

He had it way of looking nt her- tou
derly, intently that exasperated her.
He played ut her, things who knew, full
of sentiment ami longing, that madii
her yenrn to box bis ears. And yet hit
wan so stealthy about it! Ho saw, what
every body saw, what filled Mrs. lturt
Kob iisoii with unguis'), that Lilian was
making what. Is vulgarly mid with vul
garity called "it dead set" at him.
Why, lie could not imagine. Why
liny girl on earth, with Lillian's
beauty, her youth ami her money,
should want to marry n man whom cv
everybody supposed to 1st a penniless
tieruian violinist, was tieyoml hiui. He
mistakenly fancied that titles without
money wero not valued in this glorious
Itcpiidlic; mid having siputinli'rcd all
that ho could lay his hands on, mid hav
ing nothing hut'his violin at present be
tween himself ami starvation, hu miw
no more reason w hy Lillian should de
vote herself to his capture than to that
of the cornet, w ho was also it remarka
bly good-looking young fellow. Hut
Miss Lillian knew' her game. Count
Holler's .iiilactt in Munich lived it. She
would not in the least mind hciuir
Counte-N Holler, and if the violin cp -Hoilo
got out it could bo treated a
lurk.
M'ks Lcfevre, sitting far back, and
glower ng darkly at the handsome
young liei iniin, rather amused Lillian,
until, in a paroxysm of ill-temper one
lav, she remarked that she didn't be
lieve Holler was u Count at all. Some
thing like thrill of fear shot throm'h
Lillian s heart. Snpp isc, after all her
languishing and posing, th,. violinist
should turn out no more than the cor
net? Hut Mi reassured herself: she
had Mr. I'rcscott Fairbanks' word fur
it, and when, alter a triumphal pruercss
to Munich, gilded by the Iturt-lddi iisoii
toUai's she hurst no. in Ni wtorkina
blae of ''lory as the Countess Maurice

fur her penetration.
After a wit 'e a I ttle rivulet of talk

and the sola whereon the Hurl liobin

the rivneli girl m ronViTsittion. They
would tit k about mu-ic in the pauses
between the nocturnes and concertos,
and Holier would, iuadvertaiiilv as ii
were, drop, into French, This made
Jeanne t ngle the tir-1 t in - hn d d so.
When the music was over, it nl the pit i
ide would stream out of the vast room,
Holler got into the way of saunter n
along toward the Hiirt-Uobiuson col
lage, nml linally to sitting on the little
red iiinl green' porch. In vain Mrs.

and pointed out to l.il an how u eessarv

peared. "(iood-eveniiigni'ain.tiiadeiiio'si'lle,"
said he, addressing her in French.
"Mademoiselle Lit mi reiiie-tcd me to
return mid look for her fan, which she
had dropped; and as il led im; toward
you. I came willingly."
"There it is," said Jeanne, sullenly;
nml us Holler stooped to pick it up, she
snatched it from tin- gr mini, and ,n an
Instant her strong white lingers had
broken it into a dozen pieces.
Holler caught her wr s's. "What are
you doing that for?" In- cried.
"Itccaiise," said Jeann ', coolly, "it
belongs to her, nml because vou came
to look for it. See." She took th
shreds mid splinter in her hand, and
threw lliem with no ignoble skill into
the pond, lift y varils away,
Holler stareif i't her blankly. Was it
possible that rose-bud Ldian ill-treated
ills dependent? His heart swelh d
within him. as it man's heart is apt to
swell at the idea of injustice to any
th ng young nnd pretty of the other sex.
"Does she treat you ill?" he asked.
Jeanne looked ut him with line scorn.
"!o you not think," she asked, iir her
prdly Frencli-Fngl:sh, "that I could
take cure of myself from that - that lit
tle thing? Hut I tell you what, nnui
Mour," she emit nucd as Holler remained
silent, "you need to take can,' of ifunr

these Americans!"
Holler bit his lip mid looked annuyi d,
but at last burst out laughing, and then
Highetl it '.lorniantiigh. "Mademoiselle,"
sa d he, "do not deprive me of my only
friend. This M ss Lilian Hurt-ltobinsoii
is k'ml to me w hen you are not. She
feels sympathy for me, a stranger and
an exile; you do not."
Jeanne, being desperately in lovo
with Holler by this time, could make
but one answer to these reproa -lies,
which was to burst into violent weep
ing. Holler reiiia ueil calm. Hi! knew
something about women, and was not
inordinately disturbed by their senti
mental tears. He attempted respect
fully, after the Continental fashion, to
take her hand, but Jeanne rudely Re
pulsed him, and ruMiod past, saying,
U'lween her sobs: "Yes, yes, you me

(icriuans have done harm to me and

Holler saw her slim black ligure tlart
iniT ahead of h m in ihe gloom. As he

much as he d d. It is ea.-y to cony'iiee
one's self of the wisdom of whal one
strongly desires; so Holler's mind was
prcitv well made up Indole ho reached
the Itiirt-llob iisoii cotta;e.
Lilian was waiting for him in a dark
corner i f the p.irch. "Weil, where is
my fan?"
Holler's In-art gave a jump. He ha I
forgnit 'iiall about the fan. "I I as
sure you, inadenio selle, 1 .searched -at

adde I. w th sudden boldness, for it was
surely at tin- lolloni of the pond.
"You prol ably met 'the governess,"
sa d Lilian, with sarcasm in her .smooth
voice.
"I di l," replied Holler, laniclv.
"Ah!"
She rclh'cti d. It was now or never.
Holler, in his supposed position, would
never dare to make the lirst advances to
her; that had been fully divided. Conni

the stake, and she had read in several

That is nothing." said Lilian, vexed
to have her exordium so disturln-d.
"Hut do you not see bow it is? lo you
not feel for me?"
To have two w omen throw themselves
at his head the same afternoon was nioro
than even tieruian stolidity could stand.
Holler M-trd his hat and' retreated to
ward the steps.

Lilian stood, angry and irresolute.
Just then she saw the lamps 1 ghtisl in
the little drawing-room, and Jeanne
enter, tv.th (iwendolen tagging after her

that perhaps it would "bo as w ell to .send

"Hut I have no friends nearer than

Gwendolen.
"Then vou ran go down to the hoimo

"Hut why do you wish to get rid of

It will bo wen that tho two young
ladies were rapidly drifting into a quar
rel. Opportunely Mrs. liurt-ltobicsoti
entered.
"You up at this time, Gwendolen?
It's a quarter of nn hour pat vour

Jeanne marched Gwendolen off to
bed. So th -ii she was to le sent ba k
t' Fifty-eighth s'rect. Well, it did not
matter; she would tell Mrs. Hurt-llob-inson
she was will'ng to go, and she
would be spared the sight of Roller's
nml Lilian's billing and cooing. Next
morn ng it was nil arranged ls-fore
breakfast. Mn. H irt-Koblnson, who
had, of course. I ') 11 dragooned by M'ss
Lilian, gave some preposterous reason
for nil ng her buck. 'J he house was
open. Tin- housekeeper and two ser
vants were there, and Mr. Hiit't-llobin-H011.
And M ss Lcfevre left on the mid.
day train. Two or throe nights after
ward. Mr. Hiirt-Kobinson was smoking
his afier-dinncr e'ir.ir on the balcony,
w linn Holler's card was brought up to
him. Mr. Hurl-l'obiiisonVs heart sank.
H' had heard In some way how
things w, re go'ng up nt the Hran
don, and he was cohvineed that Holler
came to a-l; h 111 for Lilian's hand, mid
inferentially for a large sum of ready
money. If there was any thing om earth
this excellent hardware merchant
loathe I, it hip a German Count. Next
to an Italian Marquis , he esteemed
them the most odious of their species.
Consequently liisgreeting to Holler was
any thing but conciliatory,
"Mr. Hurt-ltoiiinson, said Roller,
standing wdh his handsome head bared,
ami his hat held at a correct nnglu, "I
came to you ih the nearest and only
friend of a young lady in whom I am
deeply iilt Tested."
"Go on, sir," snorted Mr. Hurt-Robinson.
"I am deeply attached to her. I wish
to ask her to bo my wife. Not Ix-ing
familiar with the custom of the country,
I have only my own instincts to guide
me. I refer to Mademoiselle Jeanne
Lcfevre."
Mr. Hurl-Kobinson jumped up nnd
grasped Holler's hand warmly. "A
most excellent young woman. Anv
thing I can do, you may command me.'
"I can refer you to tin) Gorman Con
sul," said Ko'lor, fumbling in his card
case. "You will perhaps understand
lilt; when I say that 1 prefer having cer
tain circumstances in my favor, p-r-Imps
-remain unknown." He handed
Mr. Hurt-Hobinson a card with his name,
"Count Otto von Holler," engraved on
it, and in a corner a coronet. This last
impressed the sturdy republican deeply.
"If I can gain M ldenio's 'Ile Lcfcvrc's
cons "tit, I would choose t be married
nt the French consu'a'e here. 1 under
stand there is great simplicity in your
marriage laws, ami if rightly vised by
German representatives here, it will bit
quite sullieient."
"The laws of tho 1'iiited States, nnd
of tho Stale of Now York in particular,"
impre-sively remarked Mr. Hurt-Kohin-son,
":t'c good enough for any man to
gel married under."
A week or two after this, Roller and
Jeanne were on the steamer sailing
away toward Germany, with a cable
gram from the parents of the bridegroom
mul another from the mother of the
bride
securely laid away in Roller's
pocKct-iMiok. i.uian was cross for a
month or two, but, not licing a I ad
