BY L E.'PERANCE.
Crillon, a Erenoli gi-neral, of Tialian

in 1574, his gallantry was so eonsp an
usl\ d spoitid, as well as in oihtven
counters of lho.-e warlike and fienlous
limes, thtii he w as appropriately denmn
muted, ‘‘the brave Crillon.” During

Touiamtnt iinu.disfilay of arms at the
i hen great tint! populace city of Venice,
which was in the a-nuh of its glorv
d opulei e -. This arrival, was at
tested by the Venetians, in the most
etuhusiasiic tnaimcr,. evinced by tin-
ighrst complunenis of the Senate, tlie
deep rtrar of ariillery and the chiming
f trie bells of St. Maik. This was
ihe welcome received bv the monarch,
who.then occupied the first throne of
tin* world, and by this powerfuballiance
with the < rivnsive and dt feasive,.stip
ulations, Fiance a id Italv were recog
nized by all the world, as invincible.-.
The populace, applauded Crillon. whose
all eoiiquri g sword, entue Europe,
had recogn z d in the civil and rebgiou-
(\ars, of Fiancle 11 and Charles IX
Iso at the siege ol Li Rochelle and
the rnassacie ot 1572. lie was a linir
d and adored, as a Si. Mark or a St
Michael.
The magnificent pressentst and pres
sing invitations, that he daily received,
were but faint testimonials of the hig
esteem, manifested towards him by me
Venetians. Crill"i>, had youth, h abh,
fo mine, and a..charaeter illustrious, bv
exploits,.which in other tunes made of
a simple ejieya’ier, an emperor.
lie was mil fully aequamied.wiih ali
the infatuations, < f this ftiiy city ol

down to the softest an.il most platnive
notes, s emingly designed for the in
visibles of Night not wont to caress
human ears.
Wuh spiritsubdued by the sense of
sight an-lue^ring. Obeying as in a
dream, Crillon did not perceive that
he had pa3sed iiie palace Foscari, where
he with the gmg, was a guest, and that
his gondola was following the myste
rious harmonies of that otherwise
serene n'gut. The inusiG still corttin-
u d and Qriljon still listened. Sud
denly a small gondola, with a cabin of
dark cl*, ih thickly puffed, advanced
si'entlya re st ol ihe one t at carried
C illon. L> e m.tski d barcarol,dress' d in
ihe fasti ion of the men of service, govern
ed it without eff -rt. He rowed slowly,
as if to give its in mute time to dtserv
Cridou. Then upon some sign, which
was no doqbt made to him,,lie said one
word to the bareaiois, of our hero, and
they immediately stopped their row-
mg.
Crillon siw t o king of this. Sorry
to see leave him ihe baique of inusi
dsns, 1 e was about to interrogate his
barcarole, as to the cause of their stop
ping when something madetheg-mdolu,
incline to the 1> fi ; and a shadow, in
terposed-in the entrance, hiding from
the chevaleir the light of his red lamp
before be saw or understood, anything
a lady entered under the dais, back-
ward, for sucli is the custom; seated
hers- lf up -n the cushions, without
pruff ring one single word. With
french gallantry, Crillon approached
me lady, tm dilating a compliment, up
on her beauty ami giace. She was
ina-k d and wrapped in a mantle of
heavy silk. Not one glance., nor even
a gentle s'gh to warn Crillon that he
was no mt the presence of a phantom.
It she had-been lurntd into stone by a
cruel magician, of tbe ‘Arabian Nights’
she could not have been more silent.
He opened his lips as if to- interro
gate her, but the lady slowly raised her
glovid hand, as if to enjoin silence, and
tie obeyed ' r she allowed her hand to fall
aga.n- upon her dress aud remained mo
tionless.
By the light of a large lantern at
tached to the quay of the Giudecca,
and from which a fugitive ray now and
then fell across the gondola, allowed
Crillon to discern through the interti-
ces of the mask, two diamond like eyes,
regarding, him intently, fixedly and
without vaccillation, as do the curious
stars, though hid under a dark cloud,
incessantly contemplate the earth. The
two gondolas, advanced slowly in the
wake of that of tile musicians. The
music growing sweeter and more oares-
sing and resounding from shore to
shore, of the canal. Crillon, dared, to
scrutinize this- “L’Jnccuuue” who did
not lower her. eyes, at his gaze. He
seized the hand which had motioned
him silent; but it was quickly with
drawn. He tlieu uttered a courteous
exclamation, of surprise, which caused
the lady ti turn quickly her head, and
commence a contemplation of the wa
ters and skies, but Criilon surmised,
that it was done less in admiration of
them, than to conceal from him r her
trouble, and the tumultuous emotions,
of her heaving besom.
By th.s movement, Crillon, was ena
bled to analyse more closely his com
panion, without embarrassing her. She
had a fig .re worthy of a Cleopatre, and
carried her head with a distinction, pe
culiar to the Venetians, who seemed
born only to be queens. The dark
enormous tresses of her hair, fell about
her shoulders b.neath a black pictu
resque headdress embroidered with gold.
Was this woman young ? was she hand
some ? W by this strange idea to set
herself, mutely in the gondola ? Why
ali this reserve, with so much abandon?
was Crillon’s inward questioning. T he
musicians doubtless conspiring with the
baroarols to coufuse the mind of Cril
lon as to course aud distance, turned
out of the Giudecca, in order to go by
Fusine ; doubling the point St Marino,
they soon gained the Rio San Andrea,
ami entered again into the great canal.
During this passage which consumed
cons derable time, L’inconnue still
gazed fixedly upon Crillon, who after
repeated.efforts to make her speak was
persuading himself, that she was indeed
a mute, lie took a second time her
baud, and she allowed him to retain it,
not only this, but with her little glovea
fingers, raised the trembling hand of
tlie chevalier, examined it attentively,
iirew.it nearer the lamp and regarded
with curiosity, a ring that he wore, and
which she kept turning and rubbing
with her fingers, endeavoring to spell
the engraving upon it, which seemed to
awaken in her, emotions, by no uieaus
tranquil. It was easy to perceive that
tins circle of gold, wounded aud troub
led her, judging from the quick move
ments aud nervous pressure of her fin
gers. She replaced slowly the hand of
Crillon upon his mantle, bjwed her
head, and sought not to dissimulate the
dejection which followed her febrile
agitation.
The Chevalier was tempted to invoke
some explanation, when the hour of
one, sounded from the church of Saint
Job, L Incounpe, struck three times,
with her fan, upon tbe little sculptured
shutter, of tbe gondola. With one
stroke of the oar, the masked barcarol,
who had accompanied her, stopped tho
passage of Criiion’s gondola, rowed to
the right and offered his arm to his
mistress.
She immediately arose, saluted Cril
lon with a .gesture light as a sylph,
poised one charming foot, upon the side
of the little vessel and disappeared, be
fore he could make one effort to retain

her. The two barcarols, still remained
motionless, as if awaiting order# to
proceed. When recovering in a measure
from his astonishment, he commanded
them to follow quickly the strange gon
dola ; but that of the musicians, rowed
across the canal, lingered, there foe a
minute, during which time, gondola,
L’lnconnue, intrigue, all passed awsj
as a dream.
CHAPTER IL
Great was the disappointment of
Crillon. When he questioned his-bar—
cai ols, they with the most natural air r
responded that they had fallowed the
barque of musicians, for such, was tho
custom at Venice,, and that the French)
gentleman, had given no orders to tho
contrary. As to the meeting of the
mysterious gondola they did not recog
nize it, the masked barcarol sai<4
and they did so. The lady entered thf*
cabin and they sought not to- gase at
her, because it would have been impo-^
lite. In the eyes of these men, therw
was nothing in this affair but what waa
in perfect order and expected. It hap
pened thus at all times at Venice, they
told Crillon, but with this difference—
the gentleman entered the gpndol^. off
the lady. Crillon had to. content him
self with these explanations. He used
every art and persuasion to induce.his-
barcarols to disclose the name or.posi-
tion of his strange visitor. All was
perfectly useless, “she was mwKed,!’
they would respond.
Reduced to his own resources, Crib?
Ion entered the palace Foscari, where’
Henry HI was sleeping. Retiring to-
his magnificent apartments that Vene
tian hospitality, ffad reserved for him
he seriously reflected upon his ad?e»:
ture of. the night, and' endeavored to
persuade himself that it was customary
aud “happened every night at Venice/*
as the barcorols said. Anyway the
adventure ; he mused, speaks but littl<r
in my favor, for tbe lady after regard
ing me so intenly found less in me to-
admire than she had anticipated.
soon fell asleep listening to the dying;
sounds of the music, which was.more
polite than L Inconuue for it haffacK-
ccmpanied him to the palace Eosoari
and was serving as a gentle lullaby to*
his slumbers.
The following morning, he had not&»
ing forgotten- of his adventure of the-
previous evening. He dweltJong.opoii.
the grievous impression, that; bis ring;
had caused his mysterious visitor. Im
mediately upon rising he received a
large boqpet of roses and lilies, upon
which, the morning dew, was-still lin
gering. While yet inhaling the sweet,
perfume of this floral offering, he re
ceived another, the following houi;, then,
another and another, each hour of th$e
day.
Crillon, though not much verse# ins
ihe language of flowers, could' inter
pet but in one way these oderous mes
sengers. ‘I think of you at ail hovwa.'"
He had remained at home tbe entire
day to receive ami welcome each of.
these sweet and delicate messengers.
W here tlie bearer T he demanded*
Doors, windows, balconies, stairs* favor
ed and served, this industrious fairy, to
bring thi se anonymous presents. At.
ast, vexed at tbe ‘maladress’ of his ser
vants, in not discovering the bearer,
determined,. to watch himself, when
late in the evening he descried a little-
child with the bouquet, who declared)'
that it bad received it from a masked
barcarol. In thermddleoi this one cun
ningly hid among the flowers,, waa a*
ittle note that Ciillon hastily openedi
and iet;d.
Monsieur. If the ring upon "your
right hand signifies that you are mar
ried or betrothed, burn this note, bu$'
d you are free come in your gondola,
in front of the arsenal at Hk o’clock.
If you are free Crillon understand—.
The warrior could not restrain a cry
of jov, now he felt that his advent ore,,
was not so common,, as-bis blarcarola
wished him to believe. Free, never
was his heart more so than upon tbii
even n ing. As ten o’clock sounded from
the different churches, Crillon waji
found waiting in hia gondola, at the
designated place.
Five minutes, had scarcely elapsed,
when he heard the light noise of muf
fled oars, near him, which announced
the arrival of some baique, and he
quickly recogmz d the dark gondola,
and the masked barcarol’s of the prec-
vious evenning, leaning upon hi&.oar..
lie rowed to tbe side ot the chevalier,,
as he had done for L'lnconnue, ando
motioned to him to enter. He did,so
with alacrity, but U| On entering tbe
cabin, was uot a little surprised.apd..
disappointed at findingjiimself the solo-
inmate.
Tne barcarol,: rowed towards the
lagune, spun Fght'y across batteries
thrown here and there, to serve as a
refuge and-, shelter to vessels. The,
night, was sombre, the windg .arose,
causing a heavy swell, which gaye te
the gondola a gentle, lulling movement.
The iles of Ban Lazaro, St Michael
and Murano, they quickly peaked, COq*
tiuuing to row diagonally the. lagnne
they soon rowed in waters more calm,
the shores were bordered with beaQtiful
flowers, here and there a thicket of
weeds, a bed of water lilies, poraegraa-
ites entwined with bind weed, all made
a thick hedge, on each side, in which
seyeral times the prow of the gondola,
became entangled, breaking them off /
and strewing about Crillon’s feet.
