"So he did—so he did. ,But let that pass.
Yore than a century has rolled away since
then, and our nobles aro not fond of going
beak so far after illustrious examples. And
sow for this present Menzikoff—will you
-watch him narrowly, and bring hne the
proof of which you speak?"
"Yes sire," returned Ivan, with a slight
ahow of uneasiness in his manner. He saw
not how the emperor's manner had •changed
and he knew not what might have been
suspected. "Yes, sire," he repeated, "I will
do all I can, though I cannot tell how long
it may take me to do the work."
"All I can ask is that you will do it as
soon as possible; for T have enemies enough
abroad, without having them at home. Set
'About your :work at once, and prosecute it
with all vigor. I will trust you."
"I will do so, sire; and I can do it the
better now Ihave your sanction."
"Ab, then you have thought of this thing
before?" uttered Nicholas, with a sort of in-
telligent smile breaking over his bronzed
leature.s.
"Yes, sire, I have," returned the serf,
having now fully recovered bis composure,
even though he saw the emperor's suspie
diens were now fully aroused.
"Well, well, go and prosecute it, and let - shut in on three sides
etie know the result. I know the whole of a living spring near
itenzikoff's character. My eyes are open, rise to a gentle br
lad I shall not be long in seeing."
Ivan turned away from the inaperial
presence, and as he went forth into the street
his step was slow and his head was bowed, for
there were mighty emotions at work in his
eoul. So powerful were they that they even
forced a glittering teardrop to his dark eye.

CHAPTER VIII.
A DISCOVZRY.
When Rurie awoke from his sleep, the sun
was shining into the valley and his compae-
ions were already astir. Lafal was arranging
the mules, and the maiden who had been
rescued from the Cossacks was corning up
from the brook. The blush of the morning
was upon her features. The count started as
be saw her—the eame as he would have start-
ed had he seen a spirit from the celestied
home. She was the most beautiful creature
on which kis eyes had ever rested. Iler
term was light and graceful, pomeesieg a
sort of ethereal lightness in its motions, and
its turnings were as faulties; as the form of
the bow that rests in the heavens. Her hair,
which was of a Leiden hue, waved itself into
massy ringlets, and its glossy curls danced
upon shoulders as white as the untrodden
▪ w. She -could set have seeii her twentieth
year though her from seemed frilly and
nealtlfully developed_
The maiden came forward. and, though she
blushed beneath the admiring gaze of the
youthful count, yet she greeted him with
frankness, and sinned upon. him while she

emotion that seemed to lift his soul up from
its wonted sphere. But he was some called
from the enchanting eneeenee by the guide,
who wanted help ia disposing of the bodies
of the Cossacks.
"We'll pull them up here among the
" said Lafal, "and if they are here an
uiy return, I win see that they are buri-
ed."
Accordingly, the count helped the guide
to mote the bodies up out of the way, and ,
then they went tee fix (me of the Cossack's
mules for the maiden. They selected the one
which they supposed would be the easiest
and most gentle, and, having arranged the
saddle, the girl was assisted to her seat.
&the easured her friends that she was usen
to riding, and that they need be under no
apprehension on her account. With mat-
ters thus arranged, they set out, Lahti tak-
big the lead, and Rurie and the maiden
following side by aide.
`"You are used to these mountain -passes'

"Yes, from my earliest childhood," return-
ed the maiden.
"Then you were born in Circassian'
"Yes. These saountairis have been ray

"Ah, to the knowledge of its beauties,
certainly," said Bettie, now perfectly en-
chanted.
The maiden's eyes dropped for a moment
but she quickly raised them again, and,
seeming not ea haye noticed the gentle bit
of flattery which her companion's words
bad conaeyed, she said:
"I ana sure you must be a Russian."
"I am."
"Then I must confess that I have been
somewhat mistaken," she resumes!, gazing
op into the handsome face of the count;
"for I thought that the Russiane were all
savage and morose—that they were more
like beasts of prey than human beings."
"Ah, lady, if my appearence has dispelled
tbat illusion, then for the sake of my na
tive land I am glad that I have met you.
No, no; all my countrymen are not what
you have thought."
"Alas, but they bear that name," said the
girl, in a very low tone, and with a sad motion

show you where the fire of the tryout has
swept away our hamlets. They tell ma your
emperor's name is Nicholas."
"Yea" returned Ruric, in a whisper.
"Ah, he may enjoy his ambition now; but
the time must come when a monarch might-

ease me, sir, for this; perhaps you love your
emperor."
"I ara escaped front his deadly power, lady.
He would have put me to death had I stayed

with a sudden start. "But surely you conld

said that he m,th be! back at Menai as early

"1 shall see ou again ere long," he said
to Ruric, after the latter had settled with
him, "for I of n coine acmes the mountains.

When Ruric re-entered the cot, he found
that Albec ha fallen asleep, and Myrrh*
was by his bedside, 1 One of her stnall white
hands was resti g upon the old man's bosom,

The old man claied his eyes ani Ceased

silent!, and during that time he breathed very
heavily, and his limbs weta ever and • anon
moved .byan involuntary action of ti e nerves
and muscles, and at such times low mimes—
almost imperceptible—would fall rem his
lips. At length, however, be turn d again
toward his watcher.
"You spoke of Iran," he said, in a voice
raised scarcely above a whisper, " f course,
you saw him?"
"Yes," quickly returned Rurie, st rtled by
the idea that he might now gain sofne kuow-
ledge of the serf. .
"Do you know how his business is -succeed-
ing?" . .
"To what do you refer?"
"To his business."
"I know not enactly what you mean. He
is a serf of the Paincenidenzikoff."
"Ala then, he told -you nothing a ore."
"No, he had no opportuuity to tell me
much. But perhaps you can tell nu more of
him. I only know he !liberated ine from
prison, and that he was once a friend of my
father, or rather that my father was his
friend. What can you tell me of him?"
t 'Did Ivan say nothing of when he might
cone here?" asked Albec, seeming , to disre-
gard the young man's question. !
"He -said it might, be in a few years, and
perhaps iii a few months. But yo4 did not
answer my question. You can surely toll
me something ef Ivan?" !
"Nothing more than you know .low" re-
turned the old man. "But I should like to
see him. He is a good man—a good man,
and though he is now a serf, yet his blood
runs purer in tbe sight of God than does the
emperor's who miles in the land that gave
him birth. But you shall be welcoine, sir.
This is your home, and- the lands arts at your
service while it shall please you to ettay with
.us. When I am 41 -Mager, I shall take plea-
sure in showing yen how we Circassians live."
Ruric saw that Albec spoke with difficulty,
and he askedelo more questions; but he would
not have had an opportunity even had he de-
sired it, for at that momont Metrrha return-
ed, in company- with the physician. The
maiden hastened at once to her father's side,
and the man of medicine sat down in the seat
which Ruric had been occupying.
"I am not very ;ick," said the old man in a
tone that indicated the question more than
the assertion. .
But the physician shook bighead eery dubi-
ously. He felt of the invalid's 'anise, and
after counting ite beatings for a 1 while he
placed his ear upon the old man's breast.
When he had finished his examinjation, he
moved back from the _bed, and t rned to a
little portmanteau he had brought lwith him.
"I can leave you some simple m 'cations,"
he said, "but care is what . you nod inept.
You are viNryweak-, Albec, and yon need the
utmoet caution in your case for some time to
came."
"Bat I am not eery sick. I shall live,"
urged the old tnan. •
"Oh you. may outlive us all yet,' returned
the physician, with a little laugh "but you
want rare, yen want care, Albec.".
And as he spoke thus, he dealt out his medi-
cine and gave Myreha directions how to
prepare it. After this he spoke a few words
t
of cheer to Albee, and then tux ed to leave
the cot; butRurie followed him.
"One moment, sir," said our hal o, after the
physician bad mounted his horse 'will yot

The moon was up, autl by its light the phy-

"The old man may get -up from this shock,

Thus speaking, the physician turned bit

Feeder Ruric had been in his Circaseiat
-home a month; and during that t me be had
contrived to make hi rn sett very haepy. Albec
had so far recovered from his sicknees that
he could ride very comfortably by being help-
ed hate his saddle; but the mo ety of eii
strength which had returned to him brought
with it a degree of reason which open his eyes
to his failing powers.
"Ah, Ruric," he said one day after the
young man had helped him into bi. saddle, "1

because it is my nature. My limhs have be-
