(Continu from last week.) in. T E ATTAeK. "Filled from the eart to the lipa with love." A summer e the sun sheddi hills, the river the gathering t lying• peaceful' Storm King a sentinels that g nest from the winter, are sile The review the plain; the marching to its and the chival reception to the at the superinte "Mr. Cowan, wife of the eup me present you here on the B Pont's party." They passed t i rough the hall out on the veranda. . "Mies Arden "began Mrs. Tracy, but she easel tee was no necessity for any more worde Cowan wee taken by surprise and owed. it, while Miss Arden's bright olue eyes had a merry twinkle in them Cowan felthurt that she had not info med him of her coining, but he assume an indifferent air, as was his wont un er such eircumstances. "What are ou doing out here all alone ?" he ask d, as if it were quite netural that she should be on the post. "I am breath ng in this lovely air and scenery. Do y o u know, I think it far prettier than t e view of the valley of Oos from the ol castle at Baden-Baden, or the valley f the Neckar from the Heidelberg cas le, or even that of the Thames at Richmond." "Yes, it is ery pretty, but I dare not say much n this point; I always think of my ca et days, when my old schoolmaster cane to see me in yearling camp and asked me how I enjoyed n3yself. I said [that so far life had not been very pleaaant. 'What,' he said, 'with all these beautiful hills about you, you can be unhappy?' I followed the sweep of hie hend with my eyes,, and there they were, sure enough, but I confess I had not noticed them before ?" "Hew funny! but you' have learned to appreciate them since, have you not ?" "Oh yes." 1 After a little pause, he said, hesitat- ingly,— . "Can we not take a little stroll, Miss Arden? They1 will not miss us in there." "Indeed, I should like it, of all things." They sauntered across the plain to- ward Trophy Point. "How do yea like your duties here ?" she inquired. "Very much, in general, for it is interesting to teach; but the 'Work is very confining, and in May, when the daieies and the dandeliane come, I have a • terrible longing to be out in the sunehine. But I find teaching makes one too dictatorial." "Row do you mean ?" "Why, only yesterday, coming from church, I had three discussions, in each of which I became angry because my view was disputed." "What was it about? Tell me." "I said that two things in the sermon disappointed me. One was the reference to the relation between the length of the humming -bird's bill and the depth of the flower into which it had to pene- trate, which the minister passed by with the simple remark, that the God that could make either, could also make the length of the bill _to vary with the depth of the flower, which is quite true, but which has nothing of the grand in it; it savors of the idea of special creations, which no aape man of this nineteenth century believes in." "Now you are becoming dictatorial again." "Am 1? Well, to me the idea of evolution in all things is a much grander conception of the power of the Almighty, than separate acts of creation for every eipeoies ; moreover, to me it involves no -contradictionlief' the Scriptures, and certainly does //not touch the essence of the Christian religion." "But would you have ministers preach evolution ?" "Why not? The best sermon I ever heard was by a minister who preached it. His subject was very simple, too: 'What shall we teach our children ?' " "What was his answer to that ?" "The first sentence in the Lord's Prayer, the fatherhood of God." "What was the other pint in your discussion ?" "The statement that scientific men are always trying .to find • evidence to contradict Scripture." "But that is true, is it not ?" "The smaller scientist may do so, but the great ones have been the most modest men in the world, and," he .added mischievously, "haveheld on to faith as long as they could." "You are the most inconsistent ex- ample of inconsistency I have ever eeen." They laughed; then he suddenly asked her,— "Why did you not tell me you webe .coming ?" She changed c;ilor just a trifle. They had reached Trophy Point; she stood still a moment tO look up the river; the changing colors in the sky over New- burgh made a lovely back_grodnd for the water, lying there amidst the High- land hills more like a lake than a river.

They 3 walked on, thee two, down by the Siege Battery, round Flirtation Walk, resting & while on the rock overlooking the light -house I at Gee's Point, and again on the green parapet of Battery Knox, forgetting the outer, world, each conscious only of the other's preience. There was to he a hop at Cranston's that evening, and Cowan joined General Du Pont's part Y on its arrival there. Lieutenant Fielding had come with the party, and a lover's quick eye told Cowan that he j was not altogether in- different in hil attentions to Miss Arden. The little imps of jealousy were already whispering wicked things to hie heart, but he decided to make the most of that day, whatever the outcome might I be. He was strongly tempted to stay away from Miss Arden all the evening, but he fought bravely against his mmed and, conquered, and so deliberately walked up to her I andl engaged her in conversation; then he asked her to walk over to the corner of the broad piazza where the moon was creeping in. There they sat dowinI "Plow lovely the moonlight is ! I often think of the days in Florida, *ben I used to tell the children fairy.. talel of the moonlight track amnia the wa r. Shall I tell you one?" "Yea," she said, very softly. "May I have this dance, Mies Arden ?" said Fielding, stepping up to them. 1 "I think I will not dance this one, .M re' Fielding." "What shall it be about ?" continued Cosean,—"about a pair of the very deepest blue eyes and a soft cheek, wheee the color of the rose -comes and goeti, and a little hand whose touch is magic ;—but behind all that a cold, indifferent heart, too gay in its owie happiness tofeelthe suffering of the poor stray heart that "Must that heart -be so very cold ?" ua,lmake our fairy-tale true, it m The moon coming out from behind a cloud, shone full upon -her face, but her eYea were cast down, and she did not notipe it.

"Will sorrow make the cold heart warm, do you think 1" "Ph, they are dancing the reel; shall we go and look at them 1" AO Cowan was wending his way horn:eward from Oran ey's (where the partly was stopping) that night, he was singing in a low tone, and very tender - "In meine Augen siehat du mehr Ms Mond und Sterne wissen 1" INT. • THE CHARGE. "Yet still, Gh, listless woman, weary lover I 1 To feel once more that fresh, wild thrill, Id give—but who can live youth over?' "Pilluitz, vorn absteigen !" called out the captain of the boat going up the Elbe from Dresden, as it was making one ' of its frequent landings. Cowan, who had been sitting in deep thought, jumked up and hastened forward, bat' there was plenty of time; nobody is in a hu ry in Germany. After some delay the landing was finally made, and Cowen sauntered slowly through the village, inquiring his way to the villa occupied by Mrs. Arden. He entered by the little garden -gate and walked toward the house, but seeing figures in the garden under the trees; he started in that direction. Mrs. Arden and her daughter were seated there on rustic benches, a short distance apart, reading. " hy, Mr. Cowan 1" said Mrs. Arde , seeing him approach, "we were apeal4ing of you but a moment ago. We are thinking of taking a little trip to the Rhine, and want your strong arm for kotection and your good company." Thy chatted awhile, telling their sever 1 experiences since last they met. Then Miss Arden said,— "C me, I want to show you the view from the hill ; brother will go with us." They strolled along through the fields, gathering the bright red poppies as they went ,1 which she stuck in her belt. What a delicate fairy -flower she seemed i herse f ! A lark rase out of the meadow and ailed up into the sky, scattering musi on the way. They stopped to listen till he was far out of sight. "lhat is the skylark; how happy he seems !" said he, with a sigh., When they reached the top of the hill theyleat down On the soft grass to enjoy the view. The valley of the Elbe open- ed oat wide before them, and they could see in the distance the hills of Bohemia. Their conversation was not itniniated, for Cowan was sad and talked littla, amusing himself by playing with the. !little brother; while Miss Arden seemed nervous about something. She soon remarked,— "We must go back for afternoon tea." They found Beron Heuduck in the 1 gar en, talking with Mrs. Arden. He was a gentleman past middle life, cul- tured and refined, and a great traveller. Mrs Arden was serving tea, "tlere, Mr. Cowan," she said, "you ehal have the red cup; that's for the artillery. You can smoke, too, if you like," Tie baron engaged Cowan in conver- sati n, talking mostly in German, but occesionally lapsing into French, to be recalled by Cowen's puzzled expression, when he lost the thread of the story. Mia Arden sat near her mother; they were talking very earnestly in an under- tone. 4 young Garde Reiter in his light - blue uniform approached the ladies and made his bow; after saying a few words to them he shook hands with the baron; then stood before Cowan in a military po Mon* , and with his hand at his cap, as jf 'eluting, said,— • "I am Count von Arnins." owan mumbled in a half -embarrass- ed way his own name, and then the party sat down again. Von Arnim took a peat near Miss Arden, and Cowan im ediately recognized a rival. Mies Arden was nervously pulling at her ha dkerchief ; the count sat close by her and spoke in a low tone to here evidently with much feeling.. At length Mrs. Arden sent her daughter into the • hoarse on some pretence. Cowan notic- ed that the count disappeared among the trees in the garden soon after, strolling off quite indifferently, as if he were simply enjoying the air. Cowan's fac3 grew darker, for he knew intuitiee- , ly 1 what was happening, while pdor M s. Arden was doing her best to entertain'irioyou huinLremember Mr. Harvey 7" 'she said ; "he is consul at Odessa, noW." *Yea, but he never interested Me much; he is not a man among men," said Cowan, who was in no 'mood to agree with any one. - Ile is such a good man, however." 'That is just the trouble; such men! never know human nature." Mrs. Arden tried several other sub- jects, but did not succeed in making' Cowan unbend. Finally, Miss Arden arriVed, pale and breathless, and eat down quickly by her mother. Cowan) turned to talk to the baron, but heard her quite distinctly as she whispered tol her inother,— "I tried to avoid it, but it was no nee; so we had It out,' In a few moments Mrs. Arden said, addressing Cbwan,— , "We will] start for the Rhine to- morrow morning at eight; can ou be ready? Then he will expect you at the dation." As Cowan smoked his cigar that night at the Bellevue, his_ hea t was very heavy, "Had that con t not received some encouragement," h said to himself," he would never haw • pro- posed. 0 Yet she cannot help being pretty and_ bewitching, I suppose. Nor would I have her sit wad mope or me all winter, would 1? And yet— wish I had not come." He was fighti g the warlock fight. The joureey down the Ris'ne to Cologne and up again to Mannhei was very restful to the little party. Then they went to Frazensbad in Bo ernia; where Mrs. Ardenhad been direc ed by her physician to drink the eters. Their life there was very quiet for a time, but they soon found old f iends and made new ones. Baron He duck -was there, and a Baroness vo Keil with her daughter, whose acquai tance Mrs. Arden had made in Dresden uring the past winter. 1, One day they were all seate at a round table in the garden; the be oness was entertaining Cowan with n ac- count of her ailments, while the baron was in conversation with Miss rden. He was a great deal with Miss Ar en of late, as Cowan had noticed. The gypsy had read his character well, or e se her spell was upon him. Sudden' the baroness missed her daughter. "Oh, Mr. Cowan, will you ot go and look up my daughter, and bri g her back here ? _ Cowan, who had been sent o this errand once or twice before, was lad to get away for a while for his he rt was sore. He wee devoted in his att ntione to Miss Arden, but his jealousy 1 ft him cold and formal, so it was only misery to him to be near her. He saw the young lady he was supposed tibe in search of, at the, grounds whe e the party of the queen of Bohemila was playing croquet. But he sauntered away in quite another directien. Sud- denly he noticed the figure of a dark - eyed woman iholding a little girl by the hand, it wale the gypsy woman who had given Fim the little flask. He walked rapidly up to her, put & piece of enoriey in ler hand, and was abut to return the flask and ask some queStions, when the baron and Mrs. Arden eased close by on t eir way over to the music stand. ' Cow n turned to salute 'them, and when he ooked again for the gypay she was gone Meanwhile Miss Arden and the baron. ess were left alone at the table. "Mr. Cowan is a very fine fellow," said the baroness; "but I fear he 's not to be depended upon." "Why do You think that ?" "Well, Mr. English came over on the same steamer with him, and she said that he was so devoted to Miss Reed that he was known to all abroad as 'Miss Reed's officer.'" "Are not p ople always saying such things ?" "Yes, but •that is not all. Iefore sailing he se t a box of flower8l to a young lady t West Point. On the steamer it wa Mies Reed; but Li fore they landed ail Liverpool he became very attentive to nether young lad and followed her to Paris, and there, eet- ing a young lady he had kno n at Newport (he told me this himself only this morning), he came very near oing to Norway with her party." , Miss Arden's heart was aching. She turned away for relief, and there a short distance before her she saw a figure of a whman moving along as if , avoiding notice. Miss Arden grasped the little flat* at her throat and wee about to start after her. Just then the baron and Mr's. Arden approached. "Come, little daughter," said Mrs. Arden, noticing the paind expression on the pale face, "I have something to say to you." ' The baron sat down. At tha mo- ment Cowan spproaehed. "You have not found her ?" said the baroness. "No," replied Cowan, wearily. "Then I must go and find her m self," she said:, evidently expecting Co an to accompany her, but ifzi' sat down by the baron. • "What a. sweet tiirl Mies Aron is, and what a fine figure she has " said the baron, looking after the moth r and daughter. "Yes, rather good," said towau, • assuming indifference. "She has a mind of her own,, how- ever," continued the baron. "What a time her mother had with her last winter, when one of the Garde Raters, Riederer, was se devoted to her. _i Mrs. Arden learned that he was very dissi- pated, but diss Arden would not give Mm up, i misting that people were slandering lim. One day Mrs. 'Arden came toe'crying bitterly. 'Whet shall I do? hat shall I do?' she said. I had a h rd time straighten'ng the matter out." • Cowan w a sick at heart. and walked !May without a wor overtook Mrs. Arden and her da and walked to their villa eirit Count von [ Arnim was thero. a their return.

' After an per they at on the veraeda and talked hf Heidelberg," and the white caps there The count belonged to that cork in his student days: •Then they 8poke of the duelling' in the student corps and in the army. Cowan had been very quiet. "Do they have duelling in the Ameri- can army?' asked the count. "No, not at present," said owan, quietly ; "it is forbidden." "Suppose an officer were to fight a duel, what Would be done to hi 7" "He would be' hung for murde ," said Cowan, proeouncing each word distinct - The count looked utterly disgusted. He did not remain long. Mrs.i Arden and the ba on, finding the air \chilly, went back ii the drawing-roomk while ,Cowan and Miss Arden remained. Cowan was cold„ almost cruel lin his words, and although Miss Arden made a great effort to amuse him and entice him out of his unhappy mood, they soon lapeed into long 'Recces, Then Cowan saw by what little light there was that tears were standing in her eyes.
