IIERR STEINIIARDI'S-NEMESIS J
Si
BY I. MACLAREN COBBAN.
CHAPTER XII Continued.
"It in not for me, Fraulein," I
answered, "to ay how wicked he is.
But I have told you he is behaving
very harshly to the dead man's daugh
ter more than harshly, for he has even
hid her away in a strange town, to try
every means to nmkeherniarry hie son,
in order that he may not have to give
an account of the dead man's property.
And here is a letter which I have re
ceived this morning from her other
guardian, who was Herr Steinhardt's
best friend when he first came to Eng
land, and whom he has almost ruined.
He has found the young lady, and
taken her to his own house; but he
fears he cannot keen her. for Herr
Bteinhardt may now ruin him outright
I must therefore return; and ttiis,
Fraulein, is my only hope of effectual
ly, hindering Herr Bteinhardt from, do-
ing what he will by frigtening him
with my knowledge. But I do not yet
know enough to do that.
It will thus be seen that I told Frau
lein Haas just enough of the case to
convince her of its urgency; but she
guessed something I had not told her.
"I understand now, Herr Pastor,"
she said, "why you are so interested in
Emmanuel Steinhardt's crime; it is
more love than vengeance that pushes
you on. And that, too, Herr Pastor,
will make you better understand why J
am interested in Emmanuel Btein
hardt." she said, simply, looking not
at me, but at her thin clasped hands,
"He was many years ago not the Herr
Bteinhardt he seems to be now; he was
good and gentle, though his heart and
mind were set on being rich. But I
detain you, ' she added, glancing up
suddenly. Her hands tightened their
clasp on each other. "If," she said,
with rapidly growing vehemence, "I
tell you what I have seen, in order that
you may be able to deliver the dis
tressed young Fraulein, promise me,
Herr Pastor, for the sake of my past,
and as you hope to be happy and peace
ful in the future promise me that you
will nse what I tell you only for the
purpose you say, and that you will keep
it, so far as ever you can, from becom
ing public!"
. I gave the promise at once without
reserve.
"Andl" she said, "you will leave
Emmanftel Bteinhardt! punishment in
the hands of Almighty God?"
I answered I would though It was
strange question to have to answer.
Bhe then turned almost away from
me, partly, I thought, that she might
be less conscious of my presence, but
more that she might concentrate her
attention on her recollections. Her
hands clasped and unclasped several
times before they settled, the one in
the other, and she began :
"It was, I think, in the March
month of a year ago. I had slept a
loiig time very soundly, for I had been
very tired, when suddenly I felt as if I
were taken up and carried away far
away; and I was made to look at Em
manuel Bteinhardt. He looked at me
as if he wished me to help him ; at his
feet was a large wooden box, the lid of
which, I was made to understand,
would not close. From the opening
protruded a 'human hand, strangely
discolored. I awoke all trembling. I
put out my own hand to make sure I
was in my own bed ; my mother was
sleeping quietly beside me. I tried to
dismiss the vision from my mind fool
ish dream, I thought it. But I could
sleep no more. In two or three hours
it was daylight, and I arose. I went
about my duties all the day as usna
I was busy, and had the impression of
the vision much worn away when I
went to bed in the evening rather
early, because I was very tired. I had
slept not very long, when seam I was
as if seized up and whirled away, again
to see Emmanuel Bteinhardt, with
something at his feet again not now
the wooden box, which was aside, but
three packages of canvas. Again Em
manoei Bteinhardt looked at me, as if
he wished me to go to him, and again
I awoke, all trembling."
She paused in her story of the vis
ions, took her handkerchief and wipod
her damp brow with trembling hand.
I watched her intently, a sensation
of creoping excitement and mystery
held me bound to her quiet but intense
recital. She resumed suddenly, with
out looking at me.
"I slept no more that night fer
thinking of what I had seen, and so I
saw Emmanuel Bteinhardt no more; I
tried to Bleep in order that I might,
but I could not. A terrible night to
me it was. But next night I was
sleeping a light, disturbed sleep, when
I was taken away again to Emmanuel
Bteinhardt; this time I knew I was not
in a room; there was no light. He
looked at me across a newly dug spot
of ground, and then turned away. I
did not really wake, though I felt con
scious I was in my own bed at the same
time as I was held where he had left
me, close to wall. After some time,
how long I cannot tell, he came back
with a rope. I knew at once what he
was going to do before he had done it
fasten the rope in an iron something
on the other aide of the wall and pull it
over X do not know why I did not
think it imnosKible for a single man to
pull a wall down with a rope, but I did
not. In a little while he pulled, and
the wall fell flat, and, curiously, un
broken, covering over the newly dug
spot and ail arooand it. Then I awoke,
as with the Doise, and slept no more.
After that night I saw him again for
several nigbta, for a dim moment or
two, at the came nlaee. They were
but glimpse, which, as the nights
passed on, became dimmer and dimmer,
and then ceased altogether until some
weeks ago, when again 1 was summoned
to Uce him at that same place with
the fallen wall. He looked at me
earnestly, and then over his shoulder
at some one. whom I did not see. hut
who I knew he reared was watching
him. This happened three, four
times, and then no more. There has
been no more yet, but what may be,
God only knows. That is all," she
aid, with a sigh as of relief, turning
to me. "And alow, Herr Pastor, you
know what I have had to tell, and you
will not forget your promise to me
you will not set yourself to bring pun
ishment on Emmanuel Bteinhardt."
"I shall hold my promise to you,
Fraulein," said I, "as sacred."
Possessed as I was with the exciting
thought engendered by her story, I was
almost forgetting that I had no result
ofmy mission w hich I could show or tell
to bteinhardt, and the time at my dis
posal must be very short. I looked at
my watch; I had half an hour to spare.
There was no time for the expression of
wonder, or of any kind of fitting com
ment npon what I had heard. Seeing
me lock at my watch, s!i roe.
"And now," he said, "you must go
quickly, I suppose, to your hotel, and
then to the station."
' Yes, 1 said. "But there is one
thing, Fraulein, I had tlmost forgotten
not of a painful sort," I made ,haste to
add, for she had reassumeu her expres
sion of close endurance and resignation.
i came as Herr bteinliardt a messen
ger, and I have no message I can carry
back to him." '
She sat down again, took a sheet of
paper from a drawer, and wrote in the
middle of the page, in a small German
hand, a few words, which she signed.
When she had written she handed the
paper to me, saying, "You may read
I read (the words were in German)
- "Repent, and turn away from your
evil, before it is too late."
This, enclosed in an envelope, and
addressed, I put in my pocket for
Bteinhardt. There remained now but
one thing for me to do to say farewell
to Fraulein Haas, the poor, lonely lady,
who still with fond regret cherished
ner memory ot a man wno was to me
the greatest villain on earth. How I
longed I could do something to cheer
her life, say even some proper word of
comfort and hope! But I felt hei
spirit dwelt on heights too great for any
commonplace words of consolation from
rr.e to reach. I therefore Dade her a
silent farewell. She held my hand a
moment.
."If anything happen to him," she
said, "you will send me word?"
I answered I would; and the next
moment she was turned away from me,
and the next I wag out of the room,
and had seen my last of Fraulein Haas.
When I was in the train, rushing
back toward England, I unexpectedly
found that I was bearing away with me
a pathetic memento of her, and that
1 had left her a memento of myself.
put my hand into my pocket to find
Birley's letter, but could find only the
following lithographed form, instead
I suppose I had taken it from her table
when I meant to take up the letter
which I bad laid down. The poor lady
might have been looking at it before I
entered her room. This was the form:
"Meine Verlobung mit
Fraulein Emilie Haas yon Liestal
zeige ich hiemit ergebenst an
Basel, November, 1854.
"Emmanuel Bteinhardt."
(My engagement with Fraulein
Emilie Hass of Liestal I herewith make
public in Basel) '
CHAPTER XIII.
In what a fever of excitement, anx
iety, and hope I made the journey
home, I need not stay to describe.
The story of Lacroix's fate I could now
fill in to its last detail; I knew where
his mutilated remains lay buried,. or at
least I knew a Bpot which coincided
with that described by Fraulein Haas,
so what remained for me to do was to
bring the fact of my knowledge home
to Bteinhardt in a manner so forcible
that he could not refuse to make terms
to me more than this I could not ac
complish, even if I would, considering
my promise to Fraulein Haas. But in
the sequel I had my conviction re
impressed that I was in this business
but the agent of a Higher Power.
I reached Timperley very late on Sat
urday night, but in spite of the late
ness of the hour and my weariness I
went at once to Birley's; I had warned
him of my coming by telegram from
London. I found him waiting for me,
and with him, as I had hoped, but
scarcely expected, his ward Louise. I
fear his cheerful greeting passed for
almost nothing with me m comparison
with hers. Her manner was undemon
strative, but there was, I felt, a cordial
sincerity in it which came from her
true heart, and I was fluttered with
hope. There were, however, things
more serious and immediate to be
talked of than matters of love could
then be considered.
I inquired concerning Bteinhardt,
and was told that they had not yet
seen him. What, I asked Birley, did
he propose to do ii Bteinhardt came
and demanded the surrender of his
ward? would he admit him?
"Admit him?" he exclaimed. "Of
course. There is no use in shutting
him out. He can sell me up in this
house and then turn me out, he has a
bill of sale on everything, and he has
been holding it back for some time, to
use it now, I expect, but Louise shan't
go back to him, unless she likes; I'll
find some roof to shelter me and her.
Yea," said he, turning his bright face
npon her, "we'll get thro' it all right."
"You are both very good to me,"
said she, going to him, and shedding
some tears on his shoulder.
"There now there," said he, pat
ting her. Then turning to me, "She
means you, too, my lad."
"Yes," said she, resuming her seat
and looking down, "Mr. Birley has
told me all you have done for me to
find out about my poor father and all
that he and you suspect, too. And I
cannot oh, I cannot! she cried,
hnddenng and pressing her hands to
her eyes "look at that terrible, cruel
man again!"
"I could not help telling her, mv
lad," said Birley, in answer to a look
of reproach from me. "The old chap
wrote questions to her about th' papers
you found, and 1 had to explain.'
"But," said I, in some alarm, "you
know, Miss Lacroix, we must not, we
cannot denounce him we must not, I
donbt, say anything till we have some
evidence that he is really the man. I
think, I am sure, I soon shall have
that evidence, but even then we must
be careful what we say."
This, I was glad to find, was not re
garded as more than a general, though
confident, expression of hope, so I was
not asked awkard questions. Now that
my anxiety concerning Louise wag for
the time allayed, I felt exceedingly
tired. I promised to call next day to
tell them about my journey, and rose
to go to my lodgings, where my land
lady, I knew, or her herculean son,
would still be sitting up for me.
Birley accompanied me to the door,
talking according to his wont. He put
on a cap which hung in the hall, and,
leaving the door adjar, walked with me
to the gate. The air refreshed me,
and, full as I was of Fraulein Haas's
revelation, I felt impelled to tell Birley
something of it. Thus, almost uncon
sciously, wewakled away from the eat
down the lane leading to the high road,
and I was lei into telling him all, th
more so that he did not seem sceptical
of the value of he'e visions. Wa had
thus left the house 'some minutes, how
many I cannot tell, when several
sounds like screams in rapid succ? soion
rose behind us into the still night.
We stopped together and looked at each
other. 1 .
"Tr the L d!" exclaimed Birley.
"I left the door or""'
We were hurried back by a common
impulse. Wa found th door adjar,
apparently as we had left it, but whea
we entered and approached the room in
which we had been siQing we beard
Sleinhart's voice.
"Well, 'Manuel," said Eirley, when
we were in the room, "so you've come;
I expected you wouldn't be long."
Bteinhardt turned (Louise wat bed
him from the other side of the table
with fear in her eyes); he did not
answer his brother-in-law, but stared at
me.
"What is the meaning of this?" he
as-Iced. "Were do you come from?"
"From Basel," I answered, "where
I was not wanted. Fraulein Unas
wised to see you, not me; she is well,
and it is for you she is anxious, not for
herself. She sent you a line by me;"
I handed him the letter.
He impatiently tore the envelope,
and read with a frown. I knew the
words; I tried to read from his face
how they affected him. Their point, I
thought, found a joint in his harness;
he evidently winced; he looked on the
floor, on-this side and on that, as if
for once he were made to pause and
consider. But this was only for a
moment; he looked up at me and then
at Birley, the same insistent, master
ful Bteinhardt as before.

SIGNIFICANT NUM3ER SEVEN.
Woven Into the Hlitary of the World In Many
Peculiar Ways.
The number seven is not only con
sidered a lucky number by the super
stitious, but it was a symbolical num
ber in the Bible, as well as among na
tions of antiquity. In the Old Testa
ment wa note that the Creator took
seven days, and on the seventh was a
sacred day of rest. Every seventh
year was sacred, and the seven times
seventh year ushered in a year of jubi
lee. There are seven principal virtues
faith, hope, charity, prudence, tem
perance, chastity and fortitude and
there are also seven deadly sins pride,
covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony,
envy and sloth. There were seven
champions of Christendom St. George,
England; Bt. Andrew, Scotland; St.
Patrick, Ireland; St. David, Wales;
St. Denis, France; St. James, Spain,
and Bt. Anthony,, Italy. There were
seven ages of man, also seven wise
men of Greece. Christ spoke seven
times on the cross. Rome was built
on seven hills, and there are innumer
able other traditions which go to prove
that seven wag a number to cling' to.
In these modern times it ia wonderful
how often the number prevails, lot
instance, vaccination must take place
every seven years, in order to escape
small pox : faiehiong change every seven
years, and seven years is always a mile
stone in a person's age.

He Wm in Need of Pity.
A pious lady of Portsmouth had a
husband who was a seaman.
He was about to start on a protract
ed voyage, and as his wife was anxious
as to his welfare, she sent the follow
ing notice to the village preacher:
"Mr. Blank, who is going to sea,
his wife desires the prayers of his con
gregation."
As the old lady was quite illiterate,
the minister read the following to the
congregation from the slip handed him:

exceeds in tonnage any of the A merlin

Many people suppose that all gold is
alike when refined, but this is not so.
An experienced man can tell at a glance
from what part of the world a gold piece
comes, and in some cases from what
particular gold district the metal has
been obtained. Australian eold, for
instance, is distinctly redder than that
from California. The Ural gold is the
reddest found anywhere.
