Matthias watched her until the wood hid her from his view. Pray heaven that her pride meets with no fall,’’ he muttered, as he entered the house. The girl nastened on, ever anon casting an earnest glance behind her to make sure that, she was not followed. But she had no cause tor apprehension ; the birds of the wood alone noted tier eager footsteps. In a litt/e opening in the wood stood a young man. A handsome fellow, with his pure Saxon face The long yellow hair hung down almost to his shoulders from un der the swing fatigue cap; his eyes were dark blue, handsome eyes, but with a restless, shifting look. The white uniform that the young mau wore told that he was was an officer in the Austrian service- ith a glad smile upon her face, the girl haslened, with out stretched arms, toward the young mau. The truth was plain ; the bunga can girl, Zoinbt.r s flower, loved one of her country’s foes. A straDge expression was upon the fuce of the young man, as he coldly returned the warm embrace of Yelva. The quick instincts of the wo man warned her of coming evil. "Leopold, what is the matter?" young officer, Ins gyefi'“Ted_thg more restless than ever. “Yes; there is something the matter, lam sure ot it lour manner toward me tells me so,’ the girl said, sorrowfully. “Yelva, you have guessed aright the officer said slowly. “I have deceived you.” ‘‘Deceived me!” Y’elva exclaim ed, a «trange 6tonv look coming over her fair face. “Yes ; you know me only as Cap tain Leopold. My name is Leo pold, but lam a colonel in the Austrian service, and I bear ibe title of Count of Lanberg." “You a noble 1” Yelva cried, in amazement, “Yes.” “And do you no longer love me? thp girl aske I a terrible accent in her voiee. “Why, of course. Yelva; what pm that thought into your nead V Leopold asked, it tones that were strangely confused. “Your manner, if not your words. Leopold, do not try to de ceive ine ; I am but a simple girl, but there is some subtle instinct in my nature which tells me you are about to break the faith you swore to me Speak out frankly ; I can bear it, You see lam ea'm.” And so she was, but, though her face was stone, tierce passions were surging wildly through her heart. Her calmness was but the preiude to the tempest. “Yelva, I will be frank with you,” the Aus'rian said, slowly. “H-avbn is my witness that I love you as well now as 1 did the mo ment yon first confessed yvur pas sion for me, and I folded you to my heart, my promised brde; but”—and he paused “But what ?” asked Yelva, with eyes that flashed strangely, and a face white as the driven snow. “I am a ward of the emperor: he has absolute power over me. I am ordered to return to Viena at once.” “Return to Viena ! Leave me | the girl gasped. ••Yes; but that is not the worst news. Iu \ iene, by the em peror’s orders, / am to be mar ried.” “Marriedt” Yelva's breath came thick and fast. She pressed her hand convulsively upon, her heart.

When she recovered tier senses a sta'wart man, dressed in the garb of a Hungarian soldier, beat over her.

Do you love vour country ?” he asked. “I am a true Hungarian girl," she replied. , “In Zombar is an Austrian regi ment.
