CHAPTER XX.
WELL DONE.
On the clay following her meeting with the
young American, Natalio looked for the
promised visit.of his aunt and himself. But
the morning passed, and the afternoon,
without their appearance.
‘•Surely,’ 1 thought she, “they must be here
to-night,”
Yet the clock struck ten and they were
still delinquent. She was disappointed and
frankly acknowledged her disappointment.
“Perhaps something may have happened.
Politeness, at least, will require their calling
soon,” she said.
But the next day had nearly passed and no
visitors,
About five o’clock in the afternoon, she
went for a stroll along the shore, returning in
half an hour. As she approached the house,
a carriage rolled down the avenue, and a
pleasant-faced, elderly lady, of perhaps six
ty, stepped out, and with a decided English
accent, smilingly said :
‘•Miss Rochefort, I believe?” at the same
time holding out her hand.
Natalie could scarcely restrain a smile at
being called by that strange name; hut she
took the proffered hand and said, quickly:
“Yes, and this is Mr. Fox's aunt?”
“Miss Bessie Strong,” finished the other,
as she gazed admiringly and encouragingly
upon the handsome girl before her.
Natalie was as much att,meted to Miss
Strong as the latter to her, the manners oi
the charming lady being so easy and gra
cious—the grace of the old school that al
ways was so fascinating to the Princess.
U'he girl then, half timidly, half reproach
fully, ventured the remark:
“I rather looked for you and Mr. Fox yes
terday. Why is he not with you?”
“Yes?” replied Miss Strong, with a slight
accent of interrogation; “I had intended
coming yesterday, but my nephew wgs sud
denly called away on a matter of business
and left me to arrange certain affairs at
home. Otherwise, we would certainly have
come.”
They conversed pleasantly for some time,
each liking the other better as the visit
grew longer.
As she arose to go, Miss Strong said
lightly and half-jocularlv:
“I must send my errant nephew to apolo
gize for allowing you so long to remain ex
pectant. Ido not know' when he will re
turn. It may not be for several week3.
Poor fellow! he was greatly worried about
somethin et or other. I tried to make him
tell me what it was; but he would not.”
Natalie's countenance became grave in a
moment. (Ah, Mr. Fairfax, your plan was
effectual, none could have been more effect
ual. He who secures woman's sympathy
and pity without causing her to suspect that
he is endeavoring so to do, or even that he
is aware of the existence of this sympathy
and pity is on the highway to win her love.
Your shaft was well aimed, and went home
to the mark.)
After Miss Strong had left, Dolores ap
proached Natalie with the question:
“Little mamma, where is Mr. Arthur
Fox?” • '
“He has g >ne away, my dear, and perhaps
wu! not come back for a long time.”
Without her being aware of it, Natalie’s
voice was tinged with sadness, and whether
8 was that the? child was affected by the
lugubrious tone, or by the news, she began
to weep.
“Won't my Mr. Fox come back for a long
time? Why did he go away? Max, he's
gone away, and he didn’t come td say good
bye to us. either. Isn't lie naughty ?”
Natalie thought so, too.
Bhe found “Stella Mea” (a copy of which
si<e had furtively made for herself), and
sang it.
Bho began to question who this Mr. Fox
was. Pie had said 1 Fox was not his real
U'tme, and that he was desirous of privacy.
This little musical composition of liis pos
sessed a certain amount of merit: yet she
felt sure that he was not a professional
musician. There was something, too, about
the man that continually reminded her of
some former acquaintance, or some one
whom she had seen at some previous time.
M ho it was she Wc.s sorely puzzled to dis
cover.
For a day or two longer, life at Eld-Field
wont on in very much the same quiet, un
disturbed way.
Natalie returned tbe call of Miss Strong.
The latter informed her that she was really
quito worried about the absont nephew.
He had not written her even once since his
departure. She had not the slightest no
tion as to hie whereabouts.
All that evening Natalie was singularly
abstracted. She could not rid her mind
(nor did she care to!) of thoughts about
this man.
Do not imagine, good friends, that she
was m love with Fairfax, or even supposed
she was. Had a cannon been suddenly
tired off beside her, it could not have
startled her more than the statement that
she was in love.
She was a simple-minded, unaffected and
sincere girl. She liked Mr. Fox; thought
their respective tastes were sympathetic,
and believed that each could understand
the other. Her interest went out toward
him in a purely friendly manner. But. il
lustrious reader, it must be admitted that
this interest was of such a nature that
some trivial occurrence, some accidental
news, some carelessly uttered word or un
guarded tone of voice, might suddenly cause
her to wake up to, and be almost stunned by
its hitherto hidden and unsuspected depth.
The factor love was, at present, an unseen
quantity in the calculations of the Princess
Natalie Radziwiil, worthy daughter of the
race of the Hohenzollerns.
One morning, a day or two after her
visit to Miss Strong, Natalie was reading to
herself in the music-room and Dolores play
ing with the clumsy, patient Max.
A light, quick step was heard upon the
walk, outside. Max, in an instant, pricked
up his ears and listened anxiously. A
tenor voice was heard humming the air of a
lively song. Max leaped up, overset
Dolores in his eager haste; rushed through
the hall; sprang over the door, the upper
half of which was open and, in his wild joy,
almost knocked over the new comer, who
was heard speaking affectionately to the
animal and calling him by name. Dolores,
too, had recognized the voice and,* quickly
picking herself up, ran out and grasped
Fairfax’ hand, crying gladly:
“My Mr. Arnold Fox has come back!
Come, little mamma; here he is!”
Natalie, with sparkling eyes and a bright
color in her cheeks came quickly and eager
ly forward and took the outstretched hand
of her visitoi* who held Dolores upon his
shoulder with the other.
Fairfax had never seen her looking more
lovely. She was radiantly beautiful. It
required all the will that he could summon
to carry out the part he had decided to play,
and not to assume the natural role of the
lover.
“Oh, Mr. Fox, your aunt and all of us”—
who “all of us” were she didn't explain—
“have been so disturbed by your absence.”
“Ah?” returned he, with a slight rising
inflection. “I am very sorry to have made
such a disturbance. When I returned I re
ceived orders to proceed directly over to
Eld-Field, and make ample apologies for my
sins and delinquencies. I hope I have Miss
Rochefort’s forgiveness”—this last with a
graceful bow and frank pleasant smile.
Natalie replied in the same merry vein:
“Certainly, if Mr. Fox will promise never
to do so again.”
“I promise, and faithfully will fulfill,” he
returned, again bowing with mock chivalry.
“Here,” continued ho, taking a roll of
music from his pocket, “are several songs
that I have just received, compositions of
an old friend of mine, a college chum, John
Castra, and a most charming fellow. lam
anxious to hear them. Will you not sing
them for me?”
She sang the songs, that proved—one of
them especially—unusually good.
Like almost every other action of his in
connection with his prisoner, this little meet
ing was entirely prearranged. He had re
turned that morning to Glen Gore, and im
mediately written a note to Blanche.
One sentence in this note ran thus:
“When your mistress and Dolores, with
Max, are all together this morning in the
music-room, and likely to remain so for a
half hour or more, throw open the blinds of
the windows of the north chamber, toward
my cottage; then go down stairs and open
tho upper half of the hall door.” ' '*•
His instructions had been followed to the
letter, and he was again successful. ' " • *
It was nearly an impossibility to him to he
natural, and no one better than he himself
knew this frailty. It grieved him. Spring
ing originally from a morbid self-conscious ; -
ness, it became one of those unfortunate
circumstances connected with his life and
character over which he seemed to possess
no control. At last it grew to such an’ex
tent that he was quite at a loss to know his
own natural tendencies and inclinations.
He had fitted himself to so many roles that
he could not detect the true from tho false -
those peculiar to his nature from those for
eign to it.
He hudffor some time been debating with
himself which was the best course to pur
sue in seeking to win the Princess’ affec
tions.
Should he work upon her pity? Appear
as the unhappy, imbittered, disappointed
misanthrope, fighting against fate? Or
should he adopt the character of a sincere,
ingenuous, sunny and light-hearted man?
“Better the latter,” thought he. It
would disarm suspicion. Natalie herself
was naturally bright, hopeful, buoyant and
sunny as the clear sky. Beneath it, he
knew, lay a sometimes overpowering and
deep fountain of melancholy and sympathy
that, once set fiowiug, flowed to no fruitless
end.
now he progressed in the first part of
his scheme has be?n set forth. Of
course he had used little Dolores as a cat’s
paw in forming the acquaintance of Na
talie. Nor were the latter’s suspicions at
all aroused. Again, the remarks of his
aunt with regard to his troubles did not fail
of their purpose. Had this light-hearted
fellow troubles? If so, fee concealed them
wonderfully well. His must be a strong,
unselfish character.
She fell to musing about him. The poison
began to take effect.
The .remaining portion of the morning
hours was devoted to music and conversa
tion, so all-absorbing that Natalie failed to
uqtc the flight* of time.
Suddenly fas had been pre-arranged by
Fairfax with Blanche) tho door of the
dining-room was flung open and the table
Was seen set for two guests. Blanche, who
also officiated in the capacity of waitress,
appeared surprised When she saw Fairfax,
and exclaiming:
“O! Madamoiselle, I beg pardon!” has
tened to close the doors again.
As Fairfax expected, the Princess im
mediately said: “Blanche, place a chair for
this gentleman. Mr. Fox, of Course you
will lunch with us.”
Apologizing for remaining so long, he yet
accepted, and soon a happy trio was seated
at the pretty little table—Natalie at the
bead, little Dolores demurely at the foot, in
her high chair, and Mr. Arnold Fox midway
between tho twain*
CHAPTER XXL
MY NEMESIS.
After this episode all was plain sailing.
The inmates of Eld-Field and Glen Gore
became fast friends. They were constantly
exchanging visitsconstantly dropping in
upon one another at unexpected but delight
ful moments: constantly lunching and din
ing together; driving, walking, rowing,
sailing, going to church, and, in fact, doing
every thing that firm and presuming friends
are wont to do one with another.
Day by day Fairfax’s hold over the Prin
cess became stronger and stronger, while
she never once became aware of it. Day by
day she began to look more eagerly for his
appearance. Day by day she took increas
ing delight in his company, and day by day
more and more appreciated that many-sided
•and cultured intellect of his.
At last the climax came—but far sooner
and in a manner far different from that
which he had planned.
Whenever at all worried, he had a habit,
as the reader may recall, of walking about,
gesticulating and muttering to himself, his
head cast down and his eyes fixed on tho
ground.
One morning it so happened that, while
waiting for Natalie to descend from her
room, he thoughtlessly allowed himself to
fall into a reverie. The old-time worries
and troubles, his uncertainty, the villainy
of his present proceedi gs—all arose before
him in gigantic proportions. He sighed
deeply,and began his customary promenade
and audible utterance of his thoughts. With
clenched fists, corrugated brow, and lo g,
uneven strides, he paced about the room,
muttering to himself:
“My God! what shall I, what can I do?”
How long this had continued he never
could be cer ai q but he suddenly became
aware that he not alone.
He hastily ‘ looked up, and there, in the
doorway, holding the curtain aside with one
lovely hand and carrying in the other her
pretty wallring-sacque that she was about
jI I ~
HOLDING THE CURTAIN ASIDE.
to don for a little stroll with her caller,
stood Natalie, gazing with all the intensity
of her dark eyes upon this strange proceed
ing on the part of her hitherto cheerful com
panion.
Her face, strangely pallid and perplexed,
expressed a most curious mixture of grief,
reproach and commiseration—grief over his
apparent distress, reproach toward herself
at not having hitherto appreciated the mag
nitude of his worriment, and toward him at
not having confided in her; and commisera
tion that desired to expend itself in active
and immediate assistance.
But permeating all, above all, and far out
shining all, was that look which no strong,
true woman ever gives, or even can give, to
more than one man in her life time.
Fairfax saw and recognized it. In a
moment the control over his feelings and
countenance was lost, He had been taken at
unawares in all points. The warm blood
surged in torrents, over his face. His eyes
showed unmistakably,the emotion that his
will had so long concealed. An instant
more and he would have rushed forward
and decided his fate, then and there. Well
for his hopes had he done so. But some
thing, he knew not what—how he cursed
his luck afterward!—restrained him. His
head hung down in shame. He was over
whelmingly conscience-stricken, and his
previous flush was exchanged for a deadly
pallor. When their eyes had met, each un
derstood the other. Each knew that each
Ipyed and was loved; and each that the
other knew it, too.
, The fatal moment had come to Natalie,
and she awoke to find herself a woman.
The scales were 1 torn from her eyes, and
her supposed friendship confronted her in
all'itSfnie and soul-stirring proportions.
The fatal moment' also had come to her
lover. ■ What he had worked for, schemed
for, sinned for* and dreamed about was his,
an iin a measure that alarmed him. Never
had success perched so long on any man’s
banners; never fortune more favored any
man’s plans. And yet, just as the prize
was actually thrust into his hands, he re
fused to take it.
The despicable meanness of his low trick
ery, treachery, deceit and villainy appeared
in so violent a contrast with the nobleness,
simplicity and purity of this guileless
creature that his now thoroughly awakened
sense of honor positively forbade his taking
advantage of the opportunity fortune had
flung at his feet.
As to Fairfax, so to Natalie, with the
revelation of her love, had come an accom
panying revela ion—but of a far-different
character.
When she pushed aside the curtain, she
paused, not only because surprised at the
sudden transformation in her friend; but
because his bent head, worried and woefully
sad face and his figure, with the hands
clasped behind the back, reminded her
forcibly of some event or person that she
felt convinced had entered into some of her
recent experiences.
She had no time to remember what or who
it was; for her interest and distress as to
Fairfax’s sorrowful demeanor drove all
other thoughts from her mind. When, how
ever. he glanced up and that great wave of
color had crossed his face, the resemblance
again struck her sp forcibly that she put
her hand to her forehead with the words:
“ Did I dream it ? Where have I seen him
before ? Surely, I have—seen—ah, I remem
ber, now! The old chateau, the Marchioness
and the ball that evening. ”
Like a flash, the scene appeared before
her, with the clearness of inspiration. Again
she saw Lydia at the foot of the stair-case,
the young American standing dejectedly be
side her, his head bent down, listening’ to
her conversation, again she saw his look of
surprise and flush of embarrassment, when
he caught sight of her, as she came slowly
down the steps with the old Marquis
A horrible suspicion arose in her mind.
Could this apparently innocent, noble-heart
ed fellow (whom, for the first time, she now
realized she lo ,r ed) have been playing fast
and loose with her? Acting the role of a
hypocrite? It could not, must not be true.
Yet. sick at heart, faint under the burden
cf the suspicion, she stepped forward, with
the eagerness of despair that knows the
hour of doom is at hand, but seeks to flatter
itself into a belief to the contrary. Clasp
ing her hands and gazmg earnestly into his
face, she exclaimed:
“You are not Mons. Fairfax whom I saw
at the ball that evening ? Oh! say that you
are not the man who has done this. Tell
hie that you what I believed you—hon
orable, true!”
Fairfax slowly lifted up his head. All the
light was gone out of his eyes; shame and
self-conviction had taken its place. Quietly
ho replied :
“I can not lie to you.”
She sank back into a chair and put her
hands before her face to conceal her tears
and look of bitter disappointment and re
proach; and with such ineffable sadness
that Fairfax was completely overwhelmed
with remorse. She said, between the sobs
that she bravely tried toetifle;
“And I trusted you so!”
Suddenly she arose, flung aside her tears
and disappointment and stood erect;
haughty, cold and commanding. Any other
but Fairfax would have flinched under the
keen, contemptuous gaze.
“This must cease!” and, as she spoke,
the words fell in hard, unnatural metallic
tones.
Her cheeks flushed with indignation, her
lip curled in scorn and command, her eyes
gleamed with fire, and she looked every
inch the child of a royal race.
Fairfax forgot every thing totally, and
gazed in wrapt admiration at this glorious
being.
“This must cease! You stand confessed
that you are the man through whose arts I
am here. I command you to release and re
turn me.”
“What!” she continued, as Fairfax stood
silently devouring her as it were, with his
eyes “you refuse to heed! Know you not
that the word of the Princess Radziwiil. even
with her peers, is law; and do you, an infe
rior, dare to hold her prisoner? Go!” she
said, imperiously, her face now pallid with
the strong emotion that rent her. “ Go!
To-morrow you will provide a way for my
return.”
Fairfax, regaining his composure, with a
coolness, dispassionateness and gentleman
ly courtesy, by which even Natalie could not
help being affected, replied in those slow,
calculating, colorless, measured tones that
ho could adopt at will:
“The Princess Natalie forgets that she is
entirely in my control; that she has given
me her written promise even to meditate no
escape, while freedom is allowed her. Ido
not deny that I abducted you; stole you from
your home; that I imperiled your life, my
life, your happiness, my own happiness and
that of your family; that I risked all; threw
every thing into the balance, including my
own moral perceptions of right and wrong,
my training as the son of a Christian gen
tleman, overbore my conscientious scruples
—all to succeed in my plans. That I love
you, you know. But that I have loved you
ever since that blessed hour when- I first
beheld you at the wayside pool in Brittany,
you do not know. It was I who found and
returned your lost knife. I, too, am the
guilty author and executor of the abduc
tion. You know how well I have succeeded.
Can you deny that you feel an interest in
me ? Will you say that lam nothing to you ?
I have never loved you more than I do now.
I have never felt your worthiness and my
own unworthiness, villainy and hypocrisy
more than I .do now—my wickedness in im
posing upon the confidence and innocence of
one so far above me in purity and nobleness
of life. Y"ou know what I am. I make no
excuse, no apology. My offense is too gross
even to allow of an apology. All I say is:
I loved you and knew well that no plebeian
could dream of winning your affections;
much less, your hand. On the eve of my
departure to America, this plan suggested
itself to me, hung about me like a night
mare, until, unable to rid myself of it, I
yielded, with this result.”
T . HE CO T >UED.
Tlie Darkest Hour,
1 or a period of four years I've been a
victim of a very severe and agonizing
case of Salt Rheum, which affected my
hands to such an extent that they almost
became a burden.
My hand became raw and horrifying,
compelling me to keep it coveted all the
time.
Ive spent hundreds of dollars for vari
ous preparations, but instead of bene
fiting my condition, they all seemed to
s i mlate and encourage the progress of
the miserable disease, until I had about
given up all hope.
But thank heaven, “the darkest hour
is just before day, and lam rejoiced to
know that a positive cure has been found
which is known as 15. B. B.—Botanic
Blood Balm.
My family all rejoice at its magical
curative powers in giving me relief. My
hand lias been cured' and resembles a

lor two years I have been confined to

1 oison, which had about eaten me up,*
and I and others had no hope of a re
covery. lor a while I could neither walk,
sit down, nor lie down, only in misery as
my flesh seemed to be falling off my
boncfi in pieces as big as a hen egg. My
appetite was lost, my bones ached and
pained me, and friends even shunned me.
I used various blood purifiers without
benefit, and several physicians treated
me until large sums of money had been
expended, but not one particle of good
did any one give me.
