out into the night.
Over in theciiy, In a week of May. there
was ence more to be held a Lsndgericht.
Six royal trumpeters snd a ducal drum
mer, riding throti.h the streets, had pub
lished It, and from all sides everybody
came, perhaps t»se'.Ue sono old conten
tion or to ettsblish new rights.
Lord Hennicke was there, too. Already
hs had proven by wi’nesses that the son
of his first marriage, now of age, had more
than tea years ago quitted the country on
a Lubeck merchantman bound for the
mediterranean, and that no news of ship
and crew had ever been heard. Now he
had it a» good as signed and sealed tha*
Jinker Deih’ev, as one dead in the eye of
the law, would be declared dead by an act
of the Landgericht, and consequently
Eekenhof would lecome the father s own.
But one other thing Lord Hennicke was
about in the city. One thing there was in
the world upou which his heart was fixed;
not concerning his other tons, the two
Foxes, who now like the steward wielded
the wtip amoig the bond-servants; it wan
still always the oli’ld with tho black hair
like his own, and with these evei out of
which a fsco long faded seemed to accuse
him. Although she hid grown up to slim
young womanhood, her old ways remain
cd;she still fled from her wild god father,
and be ever thirsted for a loving word
from her mouth.
But now—and Lord Hennicke et the
thought made his horse caper—now soon
■he could run from him no more!
Madame Benedict's tongue had in the
lait years grown ever sharper and more
spiteful; the bunch of keys to chamber and
cellar the held so tightly in her thin fingers
that Lord Hennicke himself did not ven
ture to tske them away; but her jaw-bones
protruded sharply, the stream of he? talk
was often interrupted by a hollow eougi
and it teemed unavoidable that, by the
next spring, only the ghostly echo of her
household sway would flighten the ser
vants on lair and iu hall. In this Lord
Hennicke saw the plantlet “Hope” grow

coud. the only one dear to fais'hfart; with
her alone would he live upon his new pos
session, and later sho should be his heir

tekei on tho maternal estate.
Already he had applied to tbe duke’s
chance 1’or for tho necessary letters pate it,
and had, ho thought, received encourage-

And thereupon be pledged him in an

And as she came and haatlatlngly drew

frlghtrned maiden almost under the feet
of tie restless and stamping horre. His
blsck eyes glittered in his face reddened
with wins and wild hopes, and while she

Above, In a formerly unused room. Lord
Hennicke had aat since early morning
reckoning and compering the old papers
concerning Eekenhof: in the one band a
pea, in the other the great, sing- l-.rlv
shaped doable key which opened and
closed all the doors there.
the highway; but his (ace and garb re-
n sineJ unknown to her.
Now she came breathless to her bnsbsnd
iu the room.
“Art thou always reckoning thy new
possessions?" she asked sharply.
He laughed. “What doit thou want?"
he answered shortly.
“ Chou hast need," said she. “Bay then,
who was that?"
Lord Hennicke looked at her with
gloomy eyes.
“Go," he said; "I want no woman's
clatter here.”
But she again demanded; “Was it one
o( the Lubeck townspeople with whom
tbou staudst in debt? Don’t count on my
money."
Lord Hennicke sprang up and fetched a
sounding blow with bis ust upon the la hie.
“A townsman. Madame Benedirte? By
the devil. I would give thee and thy court
to boot if it were one of the shop folks.
There, read!" cried be, end shoved one of
the nep«ri to her. “Thou shalt also have
tby jov.”
Madame Benedicte took it and went
through line b< line with her naked eyes;
then when shehad read all she laid it on
the table and said;
“Thou art a scamp, Lord Hennicke. but
not the first who has fed out of his wife's
hand."
For a few moments it wss still as death
in the room. But as Madame Benedicte
turned her glance upon her husband's
face she gave a loud scream, and suddenly
s'retched her hands above her head as if
to shield herself from death. And still
Lord Hennicke bad not moved a limb; his
arms even hung as if paralyzed at his side;
it was only bis ryes by whicli the women
had been terrified.
“Why dost tbou scream?" sa'rt he; but
ttsetmed that the words would hardly
proceed from the dry tbrout. “If thou
re :d’t again, thou wilt sc* that the writing
is forged I I have driven tha imposter
away; he will not co ne a second time."
But Msdame Benedicte read no more;
the looked at Lord Hennicke wilh her lit
tle ryes, as if she would bore to the very
boitomof his soul; then, her heavy key-
bunch dangling from her girdle, she went
ailentoutof the room,
Withont, the some summer day lav upon
wood and lawn; the sno was already
nearly setting, and at Eekenbof the shad
ows of the two gables stretched to the
other side of the moat; but the mighty
oaks glowed still to their roots iu the warm
gold of the sno.
Fastened to a ring in the house wall,
with drooping head, stood the dappled
horse of the fair rider, and now be him
self came ont of the door end with him the
young womanly form of Heilwig.
The horseman loosed his hone from the
rings then, bolding each to one aide ol
the bridle, both walked with toe gently
following beast over the draw-bridge, to
take him to a barn standing on the other
tile.
Silent went the handsome yonng people
betide each other, bat the face of the
maiden was fluahid with Joy, and in her
eyes was a gentle latter; as a bride to-
wardejher expected bri legroom she some
times glanced over the horse'e wlthen
towards I's rider. When they bad quar
tered it in the dilapidated structure, and
again cune forth into the open, the young
knight's brow wee heavy with thonght.
“No. Heilwig," he said to the maiden,
who looked np at him enxlonslv, “it is not
for the stke of my birthright; I bear seri
ous newa for ns both.”
And when she trembled he added: “We
will go, Heilwig, to the haunts of our
childhood, but do not fear; my hand shall
bold thee the faster.”
Tbev went over the mott to the hedge
gate of tbe forest, in whore shades they

More then an hour went by, and Kken-
bnf lay lonely as if euchanted. Gently the
shadows broadened and extinguished tbe
light nf heaven.
And et, In the last glimmer of evening,
the two youthful forms again emerged front
the gloom of tbe forest, the maiden with
the black hair was pale as a lily, and her
blue eyes eiood wide open and full of
tears. With drooping head she walked
beside her earnest looking companion.
“And !s It quits, quits Csitsiuiy true
then?" she asked softly.
Tbe yonng knight bed grasped her hand,
as if be mast hold to her that way,
“From tbe rich merchant," he laid,
'who, unknow - fought information ol
his father and race, nothing was con
cealed.”
Dumbly they walked over tbe bridge to
the home; than be (poke again:
“It Is late and we nm.t spare tbe cor-
eled sleep of the old, but to-morrow, I am
sure, tbe old woman within will confirm
It."
Bhe bowed her bead lower and as in
bumUlty drew bis band to her mouth.
“My brother!" she said. It cams only
i a s'gh from her lips.
In tbs chamber above near tbe knights'
.11, on wooes walls his own first wail,
and bis mother's iast sigh htd been
breathed, a resting place had been pre
pared for the guest at n'sbt. But it re
mained undisturbed; in the open window
he leaned and looked ont upon tbe ex
panse of forest that stretched itself on the
other tide of the moat.
It was one of those light-gray, anitry,
in miner nights; nothing stirred without,
neither too - “ *
nor the Haiti
there was a rustle as of breathing amonj:
tbe tree-tops, and In tbe house behlnt
him it seemed as II invisible hands were
diatorbinff all the locks.
The night-taper, which they bad given
him, licxered and went ont; at the same
lime the dcor, which, through a aeries of
odier rooms led to the upper passage,
sprang open. He atapped back and peered
out into the empty roorei near; then push
ed to the open door and involuntarily
turned die ruety key cn tbe inside.
Again tha sultry itUloess fell npon
boose and wood, and again he leaned, naf

wee audible eeve from the clock room
above the monotonous whirl o( (be iron
wheels and the creaking o( the chains to

from the window and listened. No other
stroke followed; II was one o'clock. But
Tbe clock st-uck so fearfully; I wanted

He supported her gently in bis arms.
" Chou art dreaming, Heilwig," said he.
“What should happen to me in my moth
er's house?"
“Ido not know, Dethlev; but let me re
main with tbee; tbe summer night wilt
soon pass."
“Not only for the summer night; remain
with me always. Heilwig! Yes, forever, If
thou wish.st it."
Bhe led him to one of the old seats that
stood as formerly benealh bis mother's
picture, where they together, when chit -
dreu, had dragged it; fie should rest alter

her wish, she drew np n foot

band. Anil then when be seemed to
breathe softly lu (lumber, she spoke to
herselt a. if in a dream;
“My brother! My dearly loved broth
er I"
But he had not slept; he bent down to
her and whispered;
"My beloved sister I"
Then again ahe .lightly raised her head
from her brother’s hand.
"Hoar strange. Dethlev " she said rofily.
'It is dark, but I plainly see tay mother s
picture; ebe look, kindly upon ue."
1 Yes, Heilwig, very kindly.”
And then they were silent. They were
almost asleep, when Heilwig lietenel.
“What eras that, Dethlev?”
“I hear nothing."
"There I There it is again; dost thou
not bear? Within there it is trying to open
the chamber-door."
The young man bad raised himself up.
"Tbe door is fastened,” said he. All be
came still again; they heard no-liing more;
it might have been the wind. Heilwig
again laid her head in ner brother's hands,
and both were silent; a sudden sleep bed
se zed them.
But tbe night was not yet over, and all
in that bouse were not asleep. Au e.r that
still waked mus: have distinguished with
out in tbe passage the soft opening of the
door to the winter-room; then ju.t as soft
etea'.tbv steps through tuat room to the
door of the salon itself.
Inaudibly this epeued, and a datk form
autiouely etfpuiug towards the chamber
door, approached the sleeping o iea. But
it did not reach them; a hollow cry, as
from the breast of a terrified beast, broke
through the stillness of the nignt.
Heilwig sprang up quickly as if she
would cover her brother's body with her
own, but it was no longer necessary.
They saw only a swaying form grope
about itself with both arms, and Alien
plunge in a heavy fall to the 11 rorWAt
the same time there sounded a clinking
as if a weapon had slid over the floor lo
their feet.
Heilwig clung with both arms about the
young man’s neck:
"Dethlev! Dethlev!” ebe whispered to
him. Ho answered not, hoarcyer: lie bent
on) his hand groped searching about on
the floor around.
When he had secured the weapon,
which lay under their icat. anu
his fingers rested on the lock, he
shrauk together and shivered as in
agne. He sprang uo at once, however,
and placing his arm firmly abouther, bore
Heilwig with him into tho chamber, and
on, after hastily closing this, through the
succession of upper rooms, out into tbe
passage and down the winding steps.
"Who was that?’ cried ebe, as both
reached the basement breathleis. “He
wished to kill thee, Dethlev?"
“t do not know; do not ask me, Heil-
wig. I will knoer only one thing now.
But I will nevermore claim my mother's
inheritance.”
He drew the maiden on with him into
the sleeping room of tbe grandmother, to
the bed of the sleeping gray haired one.
Thty heard not hoar outside over tbe
draw bridge hasty steps sounded, and saw
not the fleeing form thaton the other tide
disappeared in the night among the shad
ows of the forest.
L-rd Hennicke had judged aright; the
blonde rider did not conic again to the
coorr, as thilgenlly as Madame Benedicts
looked ont for him. To tbe first, however,

for when, aa usual, tha housemm-d came to

He let for a week In bis dull chamber,
until one morning from the village at Eek

Then be listened and saked tbe steward

But be did not ride forth; tbe attendant
for boars led tbe harnessed beast about
the court-yard, until at length be wat
obliged to unseddle him again. And eolt

Afterward, however, one day the cotter,
Forthman, who was leadiug a sleek cow by
a rope, eew a grey form ride oeer the draw

Tbe cottar shook bit head; ha coaid not

BLSINE'S SECOND VOLUME.
A Chapter on Andrew Johnson, With an
Estimate of the Man.
Tho second volume of Mr. James G.
Blaine's "Twenty Y’e.rs In Congress” is
eoon to issue Irom the press. The follow-
iug is an extract from the opening chapter:
Abraham Lincoln expired at 7:22 o'clock
on the morning of April 15, 1805. Three
hours later, in tbe presepcsof ail the mem
bers of the cabinet except Mr. Seward,
who lay wounded and bleeding in hi. own
home, the oath t f office, as President of
the Uni ed Stales, was administered to
Andrew Johnson by Chief Justice Chare.
The eimple bnt impressive ceremony was
performed in Mr. Johnson's lodgings at the
Kirkwood Hotel; and besides the members
of Ihe cabinet, who were present in their
official character, those Senators who had
remained in Washington since the ad
Journmentof Congress were called in aa
witnesses. While the death ol
Mr. Lincoln was still unknown to
the majority o( tbe citizens of the Republic,
his successor was installed in office, and
the administration of the Federal govern
ment was radically changed. It was espe
cially fortunate that tho Vice-President
was at the National Capital. He had ar
rived but five days before, and was intend
ing to leave for his home in Tennessee
within a few hours. His prompt investi
ture with tbe Chief Executive authority of
tbe nation preserved order, maintained
law, and restored confidence to the people.
With the defeat and di.mtegra'ion of the
armies of the Confederacy, and wilh the
approaching disbandment of the armies of
the Union, constant watchfulness wss de
manded of the National Executive, it is
a striking tribute to the strength of the
Constitution and of the government that
the irderly administration of aflairs was
not Interrupted by a tragedy which in
countiiea might have been tbe signal for a
bloody revolution.
The character and career of Mr. Johnson
were anomalous and in many respects con
tradictory. By birth he belonged to that
large class in the Broth known as “poor
whites”—a class scarcely lees despised by
tha slave-bolding aristocracy than were
'he human chattels themselves. Born in
North Carolrua and bred to the treds of a
tailor, he reached hie fifteenth year before
he was tanght even to reed. In bis eight
eenth tear be migrated to Tennessee, and
e.tablished blniselt In that rich upland re
gion on tbe eastern border of tbe State,
there by altitudo tbe tame agricultural
conditions are developed that cnaracleriae
the laud which-lies tereral degrees further
north. Specially adapted to the erreale,
the grasses and the traits of Southern
Penrsylvanle and Onto, East Tennessee
could not employ slave labor with tha
profit which it brought in tbe rich cotton-
fields ol the neighboring lowland., and tbe
result was that tbe p ipulsllou contained a
large majority of whites.
Using ranch lo a wise marriage, puree
ing hit trade with skill and industry, John
son gained steadily io knowledge and in
fluence. Ambitious, quick to leero, hon
est. necessarily frugal, he speedily became
a recognized leader ol the class to wh'eb
he belonged. Before be had attained hie
majority be was chosen to an importer!
municipal office and at twenty-two he was
elected mayor ol his town. Thence for
ward hie promotion was rapid. At twen
ty seven he wa. sent to tbe Legislature of
Ida State; and In 1M0, wten he was in bi<
thlrty-escondyear, hewai nominated fur
the office of Presidential elector, and can
vassed tbe State in the Interest of Mr. Van
nuren. Three years later he was chosen
Representative tu Congress, where he serv
ed ten years. He wee then nominated for
Governor, and in the ele-rtfona of 1'63 and
185 J defeated eocceesively two of tba moat
popular Wbiga in Tennessee, Gustavus A.
Henry and Merelilh P. Gentry. In 1857
tie was promoted lothe Senate of tbe Uni
ted States, when he was eerviue at ihe
outbreak of the civil war.
Oi tha lacuty-tw.o Senators from tbe
eleven Stacea that afterwards composed
the Confederacy, Johnson was the only
oi c who honorably maintained hit oath to
support the constitution; tbe only one
who did not lend aid and comfort to tbe
enemlea of tbe Union. He remained in
bis seat In tbe Senate, loyal to the govern
ment, and rei gned a year after tne out
break of the war (in March, 1802), upon
Mr. L ncoln’a urgent request that be should
accept tba Important post of Military
Governor of Tannesseo. Hit administra
tion of that office and bit firm discharge oi
every duty uniter eircnmetencei of great
peril, gave to him an exceptional popular
ity in all Ihe loyal States and ltd to his se
lection for the Vioe-Pmlieocy In 186L
Tne national calamity had now suddenly
brought him to a larger field of doty and
utvolred upon him tha weightiest re.poo-
eibUlty,
It was known to a few persons that when
Mr. Johnson arrived from Fortre.-s Mon
roe on the morning of April 10 and fonnd
the national capital In n blaze oi patriotic
excitement over tha surrender of Lee’s
army tbe aay before at Appomattox, he
liaetaned to tha White Home and ad
dressed to the unwilling ears of Mr.
Lincoln an earnest anneal against tha in
dulgent terms conceded by General Grant.
Mr. Johnson believed that General Lee
should not have been permitted to surren
der his sword as a soldier of honor, trot
that General Grant ebouli have received
the entire command as prisoners otwar,
and should have held Lee in confinement
until he co ota receive ioetrnctioni
from the adainistration at Waihlng-
too. The spirit which these views
indicated was onderalood by those
who beet knew Mr. Johnson to be con
tained, if not expressed. In this declaration
HMUCU, II UUI ........
of bia first address: “Ae loan Indication
of any policy which may be panned by me
In tbe conduct of the government, I here
to >ay that that must be left for develop
ment aa the administration progresses.
Tbe message or the declaration most be
made by the ecte as they transpire. The
only assurance lean nowgiveof the future
la by reffenca to the past. 1
Tbe effect produced npon tbe public by
this speech, which might be regarded u
an inaugural address, was not happy. Be
sides its evasive character respecting pub
lic poUclei which every observing man
noted with apprehension, an unpleasant
Impression was created by iticraaive char
acter respecting Mr. Ltneoln. The entire
absence ol eulogy of the slain President
wu remarked. There wu no mention of
hie name or of his character or of bia of
fice. Tbe only ah us ion in any way what
ever to Mr. Lineala wu Mr. Johnson's
declaration that be wu "almost over
whelmed by tba announcement of the sad
event which has to recently occurred.”
White be found no time to praise one
whose praise wu on every tongue, be
made ample reference to himself anl his
own part history. Though speaking not
more than five minutes, it was noticed that
“I” and “my" and “me" were mentioned
at .'east a dozen times. A boundless ego
tism was inferred from such remarks as
these: “My past public life, whicli baa
been long end laborions, lrss been
founded, as I in good conscience be
lieve. npon a greet principle of right
which lies at the basis of all things.” “I
mutt be permitted to eay, II 1 understand
the feelings oi my own heart. I have long
labored to ameliorate and alleviate tbe
condition oi the great mus ol the Ameri-
can people.” “Toil and honest advocacy
of the great principles ol free government
have been my lot. The duties have been
mine, tbe consequences God'a.” S nstor
John P. Hale, oi New Hampshire who
was present on the occasion, said with
characteristic wit, that “Johnson seemed
willing to share tbe glory ol his achieve
ments with bia Creator, but utterly forgot
that Mr. Lincoln had any share of credit
in flte suppression of the rebellion."
The infl-xtble sternness of Mr. John
son'* tone and the frequent repetition of
his Intention lo inflict tne severest penal ty
of tho law upon the leading traitors began
to create apprehension in the North. It
was feared that the country might be
called -ipon to witnese, after the four ye ire’
carnival of death on tbe battle field and in
the hospital, an era of “bloody ars'zes,”
made more rigorons and revengeful from
the peculiar tense of injury which tho
President, as a loyti Southerner, hid real
ized in hie own person. Tit's feeling was
probably still further aggravated
by bis avowed sympathy with
tbe thousands in the South
who had been maimed, driven from home,
stripped of all their properly, simply be
cause of their fidelity to tbe constitution
and the Union of their fathers. Tbe spirit
of thejrendetla, unknown In 'he Northern
States, was frequently shown in tbe
Srotb, where it bad long been domesticated
with ell its Corsican ferocity. It ha t raged
in many Instances to the extermination of
families and in many localities to tbe de
struction of peace and tbe otter
defiance of law—not lnfrrquently
indeed paralyzing the aomlnia-
tration of justice in whole countiee.
Often seeking and waging open combat
with ferocious courage, it did not hesi
tate at secret murder, at waylaying on
lonely roads with superior numbers, and
it eometimes went eo far as to torture
an unhappy victim before the final death
blow. The language of Mr, Johnson was
interpreted by the merciful in the North
as Indicating tbat bia own injuries end
fierce conflicts daring the war bed possi
bly inspired him with this fell spirit of re
venge, which In his zeal be might mistake
for tbe rational demands of justice.
A personal and somewhat curious illus
tration of Mr. Johnson's temper and pur
poses at the time is afforded by a confer
ence between himeelf and Senator Wade,
of Ohio. Mr. Wade was widely known ae
among the radical and progressive
members oi the Republican partv. His
immedlateconetituents of;the Western Re
serve were a just and God-fearing people,
amply endowed with both moral and phys
ical courage, bnt tbe; were not men of
blood, and tbey.were not in sympathy with
the epnarent purposes oi the President. It
is not improvable tbat Mr. Wede's views
were somewhat in advance of those held
by the majority of the people he represent
ed, bathe was evidently not in accord with
the tbreatenlDgs and slaughter breathe s
out by tbe Prestdent.
"Well, Mr. Wade, what would you do
were you in my place and charged with
i»y responsibilities?” inquired the Presi
dent. “I think,’’ replied tbe (rank ami
honest old Senator from Ohio, “1 should
cither force into exile or htng about tenor
twelve of those fellows; perhaps by way of
foil measure I should make it thirteen,
ust a baker's dozen," “Bnt how,” re-
oined tha President, “are you going to
pick ont so email a number and show
them to be guiltier than the rest?”
"It won’t do to hang a very large
number,” rejoined Wade, “and I
think il yon would give me time, I could
name thirteen that stand at the bead In
the work ol rebellion. I think we would
•II agree on Jeff Dalle. Toombs. Benjamin,
Slidell, Mason and Howell Cobb, if we
did no more than drive these half-dozen
ont of the conn try, wa should accomplish a
good deal.”
Tbe interview was long, and at ita close
Ur. Johneon expressed surprise thst Weds
was willing to let “tbe traitors," aa he htd
slwaye styled them, “eicape to easily.”
He said tbat he had expected tbe
heartiest support from Wade in a policy
which, si ha outlined it to the Senator,
■eem>d in thoroughnees to rival that of
Strafford. [Mr. Wade left thei exem-
tira mansion with bia mlod divided be
tween admiration for Ihe stern resolve and
high courage of the President on Ihe one
hand, and his fearon tbe other tbat a pol
icy eo determined and aggreariee as Mr.
Johnson teemed bent on pursuing might
work a reaction In the North, and that
thus tn the end less might be done in pro
viding proper safeguards again at another
rebellion than if too much had not been
attempted.

wuh'awdV’s eut °' a T * iu,b •«
Iu the fall of 1883 I had a valuable colt taken
with a *ovcro case of pinkeye, which reiultS
in tho moit fearful case of blood poijonin* i
have ever teen. After eight or nine monthi
of doctoring with ©very remedy that I could
here of. I despaired of a cure. At this time the
horee unable to move, because of swollen

end hi* sufferings with tho abot-gnn. He wm
a valuable animal and 1 did not want to lose
him. A ter racking my brain In search for
another remedy more efllcaclou*, I thought of
8wift Specific. I knew it waa Invaluable to
the human family as a blood purifier and why
should it not be for the animal aa well? I did
not heritatc, but sent last July to Atlanta for a
TEenn the treatment with 4 ounces of 8. g,
8. and 4 ounce* of water three Um«saday.
This I continued for a week Then I in-
creased the dose to 6 ounces of each, and con
tinued fora week* Then I increased to S ;
ounces and run It a week, when I
went back to« ounce* aga-n. The result wu
tnat at the end ot the flrat week the horse had
a fteir appetite, which he had not hadslnee
hla sickness. At the end of the second week
even greater improvement was apparent, for
many of the aores were healing nicely,and tbe
horse manifested a desire to move about. At
tho end of the third week he began to show a
gain In tlcih, and had full appetite. The
swelling had about disappeared, i used
In all about 15 bottles of Hwlli’s Specific, and
when I quit Ita use the hoase only had four
small sore* left on him, and they healed np
Immediately.
In August last every symptom of the dis
ease patted my. and np to date no signs of
tbe return of the trouble have made their ap
