A CRUCIAL TEST.
! . . - '
; The fine old mansion of the Alberghi
family, near Gluekstadt, was brilliantly
lighted, and the sound of mnsio and
dancing waa borne on the evening air
across the rolling, rollicking, sparkling
waters of the Elbe. That night a grand
ball was given to Count Frederick Al
berghi, the only representative of the
noble family whose name he bore. The
building was massive stone, high and
dark, protected by moat, drawbridge and
battlemented towers. It was a fine old
feudal castle, built in the time of Fred -erick
II. Outside it looked grand and
gloomy; inside it was ablaze with lights
and redolent with the perfume of choice
flowers, which were scattered in profu
sion not only about in the large recep
tion saloon but in all the smaller apart
ments which were thrown open to the
guests.
in a little room, far removed from the
rest, in the eastern tower, stood two per
sons a young man, remarkably hand
some, though there was an expression of
deep care upon his face, and a lady.
The lady was not remarkably handsome
iast now, as she listened to her com
panion with drooping eyes; indeed, most
people would call her simply pretty
until she raised her expressive, dark-
blue eyes and the brilliant sylph-like
smile broke over her face. The two
were standing talking carelessly together,
the lady leaning against the heavily
carved oaken window-frame, and the
young man standing nearly opposite
her, caressing a bright-eyed falcon upon
his wrist.
"So, Count Alberghi, you will be re
memberod for a long while as the young
noble who gave the most splendid bal
as yet ever attended."
The lips of the young man curled, and
to answered contemptuously:
"That is surely a name worth gaining
at any price.
"Of course," said the lady. "Bu
why so scornful about it?"
iou Know Lady Liena, that I care
only for your approbation; then the bal
is given only in honor and to please you
whose slightest wish I would gratify at
any expense.
, ''Alas, Count Alberghi, I am told tha
8 dozen times each day!"
''Probably; but the words do not come
from the heart as mine do.
"Pooh!" said the lady. "They al
swear that!"
"Very well, ljauy iiena; i may some
time be able to prove the truth of my
words. I have been a fool. For three
years I have hung upon your accent
fulfilled your every with, 'as far as lay
in my power. My fortune which is
ample I laid at your feet, that you
mignt nave every possible want sup
plied; and in return for this devotion I
Lave received nothing but coldness and
scorn. You know that as few men love
with my whole heart and soul ye
you scorn me. You are rich and noble,
I still love you as madly as ever, but
to-night is the last time I bow before
- you. This once I plead, Lady Lena, to
be shown some kindness. ,For the last
time I offer you myself. Will you ac
cept me?
Lady Lena turned very pale as she lis
toned to the rapid, passionate words ut
ter red by the young man who knelt be
fore her. Her eyes grew dark with some
inward feeling, but her words
destroyed the faint hope which had risen
in his heart at the gentle expression on
her face. ;
"Oh, rise, Count Frederick, for I know
this is all nonsense instantly. To
morrow you will be beside me as usual,
and the next, and every day, just as you
have been for years." The young man
rose, and in answer to her taunt, only
bent his head and tenderly stroked the
glossy head and neck of the bright-eyed
bird on his wrist, that looked from one
to the other, as if inquiring what was go
ing on. Piqued at his silence, the lady
exclaimed:
"Where now is your boasted love? I
say a bitter thing to you and you do not
retaliate."
"I cannot forget myself so far as to re
taliate to a woman."
"No," said she, "but you can sneer.
You sneer and stroke your falcon, which
I know possesses more of your boasted
love than I do.'V
"Jeannette never wounds me," he re plied.
"In return for my caresses she
does not give me bitter coldness."
"Perhaps she would if she could
speak," persisted the lady.
"Actions, Lady Lena," said he, "speak
louder than words." The girl's eyes
flashed, and she turned to the door, but
paused as she neared it, and, looking
over her shoulder, said contemptuously:
"I suppose the cause of your love for
that bird is because she once belonged
to some former lady love? The tone
was very insulting, and this time the
young man raised his head with flashing
eyes, and his words were rapid and in
dignant.. "You are right," he replied. "This
falcon bolonged to a noble lady, whose
kind, womanly heart scorned to inflict a
wound upon the meanest creatnre; who
trampled not under foot honorable love
offered her, as if it were a disgraceful
thing.. One whom I loved devotedly,
and who, had she been unable to return
the affection offered her, would yet have
rejected it with considerate gentleness."
"Why, then, don't you return to this
paragon of tenderness and virtue,"
sneered the lady,
"She would willingly soothe my
wounded spirit." he replied, "but she is
dead." Without another word Lena sped
from the room, her brain on fire, her
eys fall of tears. Could Frederick have
bboq her as she, leaning far out of a
window, weeped bitterly, he would have
, , ' ' r -r : .-. ...... .-r ..... .. . 1 ' - ...... ; : " :
forgiven the bitter words. As it was
they parted in anger.
Lteft alone, Frederick paced up and
down the room. In his despair he mur
mured aloud: "I have been a driveling
fool a madman! For three years I have
devoted my time, heart and fortune to
the service of this heartless woman. One
day rewarded with smiles, the next with
frowns. To-morrow, when the bills are
paid for debts incurred this night.I shall
be absolutely penniless all my fortune
spent upon this vain flirt, who is unde
serving the name of woman. Yes, to
morrow my furniture, horses and plate
will be sold, my servants discharged, and
all that will remain to me is tnis old cas
tle and my faithful nurse, Margaret.who
will not leave me. and myfaloon. This
bmldincr. now rineing with the sounds
of music, dancing and merry laughter,
will he closed, to become the sanctuary
of rats and owls. For myself,! shall with
draw from society and in this small,
cloomv town support my poverty and de-
sDair as best 1 may. 1 nave oeen worse
than foolish I have been wicked. But
this unmanly repining will -not do. I
must reiom my guests.
So saying, x redencK replaced tne lai-
oon on its perch near the window, and,
forcing a gay smile and careless air,saun
tered into the pall room, and from that
ime till the company left he was seem
ingly the gayest of the gay.
-
"Quick, Susan, fasten'this bodice and
bring me my hood and mantle and the
hick shoes, exclaimed Lady Lena; then
added, impatiently, "Yoa li have to pin
this handkerchief and apron string, for
my hands tremble so 1 cannot do any
thing. The maid obeyed, and soon ber
young mistress stood before the elegant
mirror, laugLing to see herself in com
plete peasant's attire.
"Will anybody know me, Susan? she
asked, laughingly, as she drew the hood
over her face.
"No, indeed, Lady Lena," replied the
maid: "if I hadn't seen you dress I
should not know you myself."
"Then I am off r
And, suiting the action to the word,
the graceful Lady Lena ran out of the
room and down stairs in a very un
ditrmned way. in the garden sne was
met by a lover of Susan s, woo ex
claimed:
" 'Pears to me we are in a monsttous
hurry, Mistress Susan. Can't you stop
to give a fellow a noontide kiss
"Away with you! she exclaimed.
"You shall have two kisses when t come
back, if you won't stop mo now."
"Good bargain, Susan, said he. "I
have not much to do, and will wait by
the gate till you come back.
Away speed Liena. Alter a pretty long,
rapid walk she reached Crstle Alberghi,
and, entering by a low postern door
which she found open, made her way to
the tower, where she saw old Margaret
seated.
"Good noon, Dame Margaret," said
Lena. The old woman raised her head
and, recognizing Susan,' Lady Lena's
favorite waiting maid, sne returned a
very sulky greeting.
"Uon t be cross, Marg?ret, sne con
tinned. "I've got a beautiful note for
your young master from my lady."
"You needn't come here with it, then,
said Dame Margaret. "Your lady's
notes have brought sorrow enough to
this house."
"But, Margaret, I was sent to deliver
it and receive an answer, and I dare not
go back without it; it would cost me my
a j
place, and you woman t be as cruel as
that to a poor girl who has never done
you any harm." Here Lena began to
sob, and Margaret rose saying:
"You have never done me any harm,
so give me the note and let me take it up
stairs quickly.' The note was produced
-a - . . .
and Margaret grumonngiy tooK it up
stairs, muttering as she did so, "much
good, ' mucn good it win do my poor
master. It isn t sealed very closely, and
it l could read it, and men n there was
anything in it to wrong him, I'd sooner put
my hand in the tore than give it to him
By this time she had reached the second
story and knocked at the door.
"Come in," said Frederick, who was
sitting by the window reading. He
looked up as the old woman entered, and
asked what she wanted. '
"A note for you, sir," she replied. The
young man's face turned a shade paler,
and his hand slightly trembled as he
took the delicate perfumed note. A mo
ment he paused, overcome by his feel
ings, then impetuously tore it open and
read the following words:
"Lady Lena Erfurt, being about to
visit England for several years, desires
to have the pleasure of meeting once
more her friend. Count Frederick
Alberghi, who has so mysteriously with
drawn himself from society. She will
do herself the honor of dining with him
this day at 5 o'clock." A spasm passed
over the young man's face and he mur
mured, "Once more." Then, turning to
Margaret, be said: "What is there in the
house to eat?'
"As good as nothing, sir," replied the
faith fril woman, "for there is only the
scraps left from your breakfast."
"That's bad, Margaret," said he; "for
I have no money; not a krjutzer; and
here is a note from Lady Lena informing
me that she will dine with me to-day."
"She mustn't come, dear sir! There is
nothing to give her."
Frederick seemed lost in thought.
Suddenly he raised his head.
"I have it no," said he. "You must
serve up my poor Jeannette here. It is
all I can do."
"Oh, master! What, roast this poor
bird you have loved so long, and which
belonged to "
"Hush, Margaret not another word;
only do as I bid yon. Serve the bird up
as best you can. Have the table laid for
two in the old dining-room; have it ready
precisely at 5. When the lady arrives
summon me, and serve dinner immedi
ately. I shall be in my chamber, to which
I shall now retire."
Margaret dared not remonstrate, but,
sobbing and wringing her hands, she
went down stairs. Lena had waited her
oommg with intense anxiety, and when
Margaret entered in such distross of
mind ehe sprang up. -
"What is the matter, Margaret? Has
anything happened to your master?"
" 'Deed there has!" woefully answered
Margaret.
"What?" said Lena. "fcJpeak, womanl"
"Oh, only he's gone clean demented.
You bring a note from your haughty
mistress, who ought to be drowned in
the Elbe, for she always makes trouble
for my dear young master, one of whose
fingers is worth more than all her body;
made him waste all his fortune, so that
now he is as poor as Job, and now makes
him kill his beautiful falcon." A tri
umphant smile now flashed into the eyes
of the false waiting-maid, and she asked,
"How so?"
"Why, you see, Mistress Susan, your
lady is coming to vdine with him, and
there is nothing in the house, neither
victuals nor even a kreutzer, so he has
ordered the falcoon to be roasted for
your wicked lady's dinner."
"I have no doubt it will make capital
eating," laughed the girl.
"Out upon you!" said Margaret. "You
are as nearness as your mistress, uo
bock to her and tell her that she is wel
come. I hope the bird may stick in her
throat and choke her, unfeeling woman
that she is!"
Oh, don't take on so, Margaret? I am
sorry your master is so poor, but he will
offer my lady a dish valuable for its rari
ty, for I warrant me she has never tasted
roasted falcon before."
Margaret's only answer -Was to throw
herself into her chair and sob. The dis-
guished Lena approached her.
"Don't feel so sad, but tell me why
should Count Frederick care so much
for the poor bird?"
"Don't you know that? Why, it be
longed to his blessed mother who is now
an angel in heaven."
Tears filled Lena s eyes, and she said:
"Well, I didn't know that, and it is
a real shame to roast the bird, and if
you will keep it a secret 111 help you.
Give me the bird and III take it home
and send you another in return. Your
masters will be none the wiser." Mar
garet's face lighted up, and earnestly
thanking the girl, she left the room and
soon returned with the falcon, closely
hooded, who gave it to the falsa Susan,
who went off with it.
Punctually to the minute came Lady
Lena, and never had she looked more
lovely, or been dressed with more ele
gance and taste. Margaret, with a sul
len air, ushered her into the dinning
room, where Frederick came forward to
meet her. He was struck with her fresh,
winning appearance a bitter change to
be wrought in so few weeks. His greet
ing was frigidly polite, and her's partic
ularly genial and kind.
The dinner was soon served and Lena
shuddered as she glanced around the
long, dark, unfurnished room, seen last
brilliantly lighted and decorated and
filled with sprightly guests, and before
whom groaned a table loaded with every
luxury the season could afford and that
money could buy! Now all the gor
geous hangings, furniture, pictures,
silver, glass and lights were gone, and
in their place stood in the empty room a
small deal table bearing two covers and
one dish of meat. With all his grace of
manner Frederick led Lena to the table
and took his place opposite her. The
meal was a silent one,, for Frederiok was
abstracted and Lena nearly overcome by
everything around her that she could
scarcely repress her tears. As they rose
from the table the oount said :
"I am sorry, madame, to offer you so
poor a repast, but "
'Don't speak of it, oount," hastily in
terrupted Lena, affecting a gayety she
was far from feeling. "It was charming
so new; and I never tasted a more
delicious chicken."
"I am happy to find that I have pleased
you," said Frederick; "but allow me in
deference to your ' taste, to correct one
mistake the bird you have partaken of
was not a chicken, but my falcon."
"Your pet falcon!" said Lena in affect
ed astonishment.
"The same, madame," he replied
"Frederick!" she exclaimed, and the
tone in which his name was uttered
caused Frederick to start. He was dumb
with surprise when he saw the haughty
Lena burst into tears, but before he
could recover his self-possession Lena
stood before him erect and pale.
"Frederick, to-day we part forever,"
said she, "and before we do so I must
obtain your forgiveness. You have al
ways treated me with respect and lo.ve,
and I I have repaid your devotion with
coldness and scorn. " Will you forgive
me?"
" Most certainly," coldly answered
Frederiok, making a great effort to sub
due the passion her unwonted gentle
ness had roused. "I loved you, and
probably by unceasing devotion, wearied
you. I needed a lesson, and I have
earned it. I could not expect one who
did not love me to "
"Stop there and listen to me," said
Lena, "and if my confession, made in
this hour, seems unmaidenly, let my
excuse be that it was the only repara
tion in my power. I am wealthy the
wealthiest woman in all Germany as it
is said. From my childhood I have
feared to be loved for my wealth, and,
with my earnest nature, I know that a
marriage without love would be death.
People whom I counted my warm, sin
cere friends told me that my riches were
all you cared for that you lavished
your comparative little wealth upon me
only the more surely to gain possession
of my princely fortune. I did not be
lieve them, but I wished to try you. In
my cautiousness I went too far, too far ;
for I have lost what I valued more than
lifeyour love!"
"Lena, Lena, be careful!" said the
young man.
"I am past care for anything now,"
she replied. "To-morrow I leave for
England, never to return. I could not
go without asking you to forgive me;
without telling you, as the only balm I
can offer, that if I made you suffer I
suffered also, and perhaps more acutely,
for I was called heartless, cold, un
principled, by the only being I ever
loved in the world, that I " Sh- could
say no more, for she was clasped in
eager arms and covered with impassion
ato kisses. A few minutes she lay there,
then freed herself, all blushing and tear
ful, from her lover's embrace. A mo
ment she left the room, and then re
turned, bearing a basket, which Ehe gave
to Frederick. On opening it his falcon
flew out. Besting her beautiful head on
Frederick's shoulder, she said, "Take
me, dear Frederick. I yield myself to
you, overcome by your love and unsel
fish devotion actually brought to hand
by your falcon."

capsized and threw him into the water.
Trying to reach the boat again, his foot
caught in a nag, and wrenched it, los
ing at the same time a $20 watch, his hat,
a shoe and a boat. He finally reached
the shore, and was hobbling across a
field when a large ferocious bull started
for him. Beaching a tree, he climbed it
lively enough to escape the bull, but also
lively enough to get into a hornet's nest.
The hornets objected, and he sprang to
another limb, which broke, letting him
fall to the ground, fracturing his wrist.
With a broken branch he kept the bull
at bay and managed to escape. All this
happened on a Friday.
