THE ROMANCE OF A POOR
YOUNG MAN.
TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH Oar OC-
TAVE FEUILLET,
(Continued from last week.)
The last word is spoken—My God!
How steong was this tie! How it has
rent my heart to break it.
Last night at nine o'clock I was sur-
prised as I .at at my open window, to
see a faint light approaching my 'dwel-
ling through the dark alleys of the park
and from a different direction to that
used by the servants at the chateau.
An instant afterward some one knocked
at my door sad Mlle. de Porhoet entered
breathless. Cousin," said she, "1
have business with you."
I looked in her face. "Is there 8ome
new misfortune 1"
"No, it is not exactly that. II You
shall judge of it yourself. Sit down,
my dear child, you have spent two or
three evenings at the chateau In the
course of this week; have you observed
anything new or singular in the bearing
of the ladies ?"
"Nothing."
"Have you not, at least, remarked in
their faces an expression of Unusual
serenity ?"
"Perhaps so, yes. Aside from' the
melancholy of their recent affliction,
they have leemed to me calmer and even
happier thin formerly."
Without doubt. You would have
been struck by other peculiarties if you
had, like me, lived for fifteen years in
their daily intimacy. Thula I have iate-
ly often surprised some sign of secret in-
telligence of mysterious complicity, be-
tween them. Besides, their habits are
perceptibly changed. Madame L &rogue
has put aside her brasero, her easy -chair
with its turret, and her innocent Creole
fancies; she rises at fabulous hourin
and seats herself with Marguerite, at
their work -table. They have both be-
come passionately fond of embroidery,
and have inquired how much money 'a
woman can earn daily at this kind of
work. In ehort it has been an . enigma
to which I have striven to discover the
clew. This has just been disclosed to
me and without intruding upon your
secrets, I have thought it right to com-
municate it to you without delay."
On my protestations of the entire con-
fidence I would gladly repose in her,
Mlle. de Porhoet continued in her sweet
firm style. "Madame Aubry came
secretly to see me this evening; she be-
gan by throwing her two covetous ernes
around my neck, which greatly die -
pleased me: then with a thousand jere•
miads that 1 will spare you, she begged
me to stop her cousins, who were on the
brink of ruin. This is what she has
learned by listening at the doors ac-
cording to her delicate custom; these
ladies are soliciting at this moment the,
authorization of giving all their prop-
erty, to a church at Rennes, in order to
destroy the inequality of fornne be-
tween Marguerite and you, which now
neparates you. Being unable to mask°
you rich, they intend to make them-
selves poor. It seemed impossible,
cousin, to leave you ignorant of this de-
termination equally worthy of those
generous hearts, and those childish
heads. You will forgive me for adding
that your duty is to thwart this design
at any cost. What repentance it pre-
pare* for our friends, what terrible re-
sponsibility it threatens you with, it is
needless to tell yon; you will under-
stand it all as well as I, at first sight.
If yen could, my friend, receive Mar-
guerite's hand at once, that would be
the best ending in the world, but you
are bound in this respect, by a promise
which, blind, imprudent as it was, is
none the less obligatory on you. There
remains, then, only one thing for you to
do, to leave this country without delay,
and to crush remolutely ell the hopes
your _presence here inevitably keeps
alive, When you are gone it will I be
easier for me,to bring theme children
back to reaso."
" Well ! I am ready; I will set out
this very night."
"That is right," she replied. In giv-
ing you this advice, I have myself
obeyed a very harsh law of honor. You
charm the last hours of my solitude;
you hive restored the illusions of the
sweetest attachments of life, which I
had lost for many years. In sending
you away I make my last sacrifice and
it is very great." She rose and fooked
at ine a moment, without speaking.
"One does not embrace young men, .
tray ge," she resumed with i sad smite,
4a one blesses them. Adieu, dear child!
may the good God help you !" I kissed
her trembling hands,dand she left me.
I hastily made my preparations for
departure'then I wrote a few lines to
Madame Lingua. I begged her to
abandon a determination, the conve-
quences and extent of which she could
not measure, and to which I wee firmly
determined, for my part, to be in no
way an accessory. I gave her my
word—and she knew she could rely on
it—that I would never accept my hap-
piness at the prioe of her ruiu. In con-
clusion, in order the better to divert
her from her foolish design, I spoke
vaguely of an approaching future where
I pretended to see glimpses of fortune.
At midnight, when all were asleep,
I said farewell, a painful farewell, to
my retreat, to this old tower, where I
have suffered and loved so deeply ! and
crept into the chateau by private
door, the key of which had been con-
fided to me. I stealthily crossed the
galleries, now empty and resounding,
like a criminal, guiding myself as well
as I could in the darkness; at length I
reached the saloon where I had seen
Marguerite for the first time. She and
her mother could hardly have quitted it
an hour before; their recent presence
WW1 betrayed by a soft sweet perfume
that intoxicated me. I sought for and
found her basket, in which her hand
had just replaced her newly begun flan-
broidery—Ales ! my poor heart! I fell
en my knees by her chair, and there,
with my forehead throbbing against the
cold marble of the table, I sobbed like
an infant!
�h! how I have loved her!
I profited by the remaining hours of
night to be secretly driven to the little
neighboring town, where I took this
morning the carriage for Rennes. To-
morrow night I shall be in Paris. Pov-
erty, solitude, despair—all that I left
there, I shall find them again! Last
dream of youth, of heaven, farewell!

ing to the railroad, a post -chaise entered
the court -yard of the hotel, and I saw

Aside fro this paper, which was
only a trains! tion, I found the original,
bearing the r yal seal. The importance
of this docu iint did no escape me, but
I was feed 1 of exaggerating it. I
doubted grea ly whether the validity of
a title; over hich so many years had
passed, woul be admitted by the Span-
ish governm t; I doubted also whether
it would have the power, if it had the
will, to mak it good. I decided there-
fore to leave Ile. de Porhoet in ignor-
ance of a die very, the result of which
was so probl i atical, and limited my-
self to sendin the title to M. Laubepin.
Hawing recei d no news respecting it I
had forgotte it amidet the personal
anxieties h had overwhelmed me.
Contrary to • y unjust suspicions, the
Spanish gove • ment had not hesitated
to redeem the kingly promise of Philip
V., and as uon as a supreme decree had
adjudged the mmense property of the
Porhoets to t • e crown, it nobly restored
them to the 1 gitimateheir.
It was nin o'clock at night when I
descended f m the • oarriage at the
threshold of •e humble house where
this alrnost r al fortune had so . tardily
come. The tle servant opened the
door. She e weeping., I heard the
grave voice o M. Laubepin saying at
the head of t staircase : "It is he !"
I hastened u • the stairs. The old man
