He ;:,,ated up- on her, but her eyes were bent to the ground; yet he could see how the blood had mounted to her sweet face and how the golden tresses upon her pure neck moved as though a fitful breeze were playing with them. "I need not.be afraid to speak," he contin- ued, "for I know you will pardon me, even if you do not meet me with approval. But I do not believe you will reject the offer my soul would make. I have long watched the light of your mild eyes, and I have read their silent Tang,nage as best Suited to my mai feel- ings. Myrrah, I love you best of all I know On earth. Have you not guessed nr.e secret ere this?' ' "LI had surely- hoped you lo -;ed me," return- ed themaiden, with her eyes bent to the ground, but with less of tremulousnese in her manner. "Then you must rove me," cried the count, in a joyful tone, "for we never seek or hope for the love of that which is a stranger to our affections. Am I not right?' For a few moments Myrrah was silent; but at length she gazed up into her companion's faze, and, while a flood of strange light danced in her nacisteneci eyes, she murrnured: "I know not why I should attempt to de- ceive you or myself, nor do I know the forms of the society in which you have been brought up. I only know my heart's love, and_that I have no power to conceal it." "And that love is mine -mine -mine -all mine. Say that it is, Myrrha!" Again the maiden was silent, and again were her eyes bent to the ground; and when she once more looked up-, there was more of earne6tness in her features than had before been there. da not know," she said with a return ot tremulousness, "what may be the meaning of the love you bear me. You cannot fear that my hiendship would ever be withdrawn " - "Ah, Myrrha, there can be but one mean- ing to, such love as mine. It must either in fall fruition or die M utter de3pair. The object of: such love must be ever near me - ever with me --a life -companion of my own soul -a lig-ht that shall ever shine in my path - a' -voice that shall ever whisper comfort in my ear. and a presence that shall ever inspire me with holy, happy thoughts. You can be all that to me. Become my wife -my o WIT wife -and heaven itself wilt smile, upon our union. I will speak with your father." "There ie no need of that," said Myrrha, with a look of joy that was not to be mis- taken. "I know my father's wish." "Ale what is it?" "Simply- to *ee me happy." "And would you not be happy to bemme iuy wife!"' The word was spoken plainly, frankly, and yet so very low that it seerned but the breath of the passing zephyr. But Feeder heard it and be bowed his head upon his sweet cona- pinion's shouNier and thanked God for the joy of that moment. Erelong the lovers turned their steps home- ward, and their hearts were as light and joy- ous as the breath of the flowers that grew in their path. When they reached the cot, they found Aloe° still sitting by the window; and as soon as he had. an _opportunity, Ruric told him what had passed between Myrrha and himself. "Bless you! bless you!" ejaculated the old man, when he had heard the tale of love. "I have hoped that this wOuld be so, for I knew -I knew vthenyou had been here only a few days -that Myrrha lovedayou; and I think her heart would have broken if you could not laa.ve loved her, But itis well now. 0 Ruric, she is a noble girt She will make you most iiappy." "1 know it, I Imow it," returned the youth. And than he bowed his head as though he would think of something that was not pre- sent. "Albec," he at length resumed, with a per- ceptible tremor in Lis features, "I have yet one thing to ask. I ant not in haste, but yet my cup lacks its perfect fullness. Myrrha is not yet fully mine." "I understand -I understand," sate old .maa. And *tile he spoke, there lite a cloud over his brow -not a cloud ofepaie or of doubt but one of ft/lXiOM hesitation, "I know what you mean but the end is not yet. Wait a whila ere you make Myrrha your wife." "But why should I wait?" asked the youth. "Because I wish it," was the old man's re- ply. "You know 1 would not make the re- quest without good reason." "Haw long must it be?" "Perhaps not long. But be it long as it may, you will still have the company of Myrrha to make you happy. I wile tell you trhen the time has come. Trust me, Ruric- trust me, and in the end you shall not be dis- appointed. Myrrha shall be yours --fear not." The entrance of the physician at this mo- ment put an end to the conversation, and Ituric went to seek Myrrha to COMO and re- oeive any instructions the doctor 'night wish to give. In the evening the count related to the maiden what Albeo had said. "Yes," she returned.. "I know that he has some peculiar reason for wishing our nuptials put off, but we have nothing to fear. He spoke with me only a few moments since and 1 now that the earnest wish of his heart is to- see us happy." Ruric had hoped to find out from Myrrha whatthe old man's reason might be, but she knew no more than he did; so he tried to content hinaself with things as they were. CHAPTER XI. THE MARAUDERS. Time passed on to early summer. Old Al - bee still rode out almost every day for exer- cise, bathe dared not go alone, for he grew weaker and weaker. And Myrrha-she was the very sun of the count's existence. He loved her more and more as each dawning day developed new charrn.s in her mind. Several times he had repeated his request to esibec. that Myrrharaight be secured to him by the rite of marriage, but eaCi time the old man bid him wait. "And wherefore shall I wait?" the count had asked in almost a frenzy of anxiety. "Nothing can separate us -nothing can di- vide our heart.. Why, then, shall we -be thus /loomed to be kept asunder?" "Because," the old man replied, "the time has not yet come. I am not responsible; so let the matter rest. It cannot be much longer that the probation shall last. Be quiet, my dear friend, be quiet, and all shall yet end well. You need not fear for any clouds, if you but trust me." But Albec was not a prophet. There was a storm gathering upon the borders of the Starayl of which he did not dream; bind the quiet hamlet, as it lay there in its mountain - girt retreat, slept allanconscious of the doom that hung over it. It was_ late in the day that Albec and Ruria had turned the heads of their horses toward home. The air was so clear and beautiful that they had ridden farther than usual; and when they turned they were upon the summit Oa hill that overlooked the deep valley of Stanayl; while upon the oppasite hand they could see the uneven eountry, for many miles in extent, sweeping away, with its crags and ravines and its brooks and verdure While Burk gazed upon the wild scene he thought Ise saw something glisten sudcle;aly upon the edge of a little wood that lay at the foot of one of the distant hills.

Ruric was at first startled at seeang the invalid's movements, but w • en he Jsaw that Albeo kept his saddle i ely, bel threw aside all fears for the old e an's es eV arid dashed on after him. It was iear1y sundown when they reached tie vill e, and the inhabi- tante were at once ae prised of the approach of the Hatukaians. The ulzden of Stamyl was a middle-aged man n reed Orfa; and as be placed the u most c1onUdence in the judgment of Albec, he at orxce set about pre- paring for defence for ell he knew the people of Hatukai, nd he anew that capitu- latien would be ou of the question. The able men of the halmiet aMounted to forty- three. Two of the uen wee° too old to be of actual servie.e, and ozno ofl the younger ones were excluded fron4 the ab e -list. Old Albee was determined to( take his carbine, even though he had to sit while e handled it. and others who were n • t included in the able -list begged to be c e • is among the defenders of the place. , . _ Upon one side o the village stood a, rude mosque, where the e •ople Worshipped; and as this building was laielded m the rear by an almoet perpendicu fir hillside, it was resolved that all the wome and ahilairen should be collected there, an. that the men should itde- fend, . Before d• k the non were all armed, and the women an. little lnes had been safe. ly conducted to he mosque. Myrrha did not weep, but sh was pale and trembling, for she knew too «ell what would be her fate if the hemlet wer taken. I "Fear not," sai Rurice as he pressed her hand; "we are w:11 arrreed . and they will have to be man in nuinbers if they over- come us." 1 i "'Tisnot for re self that I fear," returned the noble girl, 'but for you. Ah, if you should be -be-" , "Speak it not, peak it not, Myrrha. Let me riot hear a wird of failing, ' My whole soul is strong wi h hope,' and I am strong. Our men are all confiderit of their prowess, and let them see hat yolk feel confidence in them. 1 shall ight with the confidence of two souls. Adie for the while, and God be with us all." Once more R ric pressed her hand, and then hastened a ay to Wbere the men were aseembling und r the direction of the uzden Orfa. . "Ale Marie," ttered the noble, as he no- ticed our hero, 'I have been looxing for you. Yu are used t battle?" "Yes," return • 6 the cinint. "And you ha e led an; attack?" "Yes, mime, 4f them.' i "Then I must give yOu charge of our left wing, and I me nthat yen shalllay concealed among those o 'ves at the foot of the hill.
