In the constant hope, nay in the cer
tainty, of finding great happiness at the
Bide of the beloved maiden, Hilbrand
passed the next days, although Viola wan

"Violetta accretly left the house left

An Inarticulate noise came from hie lips,
and he atared at Bertha as if he could not
believe what she had laid.
"HosrT Why? 1 he stammered.
"Became she—"
The good-hearted woman stopped, for It
was bud lor her. even almost impossible
to tell the truth that must touch her friend
so deeply.
“Because, because?" be insisted.
‘Speak Bertha,” he commanded. “I ex-
runs? the vnv.t U'lmV

"Because she loses Andrea!"
“Andrea?”
"Yes, Andrea, the young Ciccaloto. He
called her, end she was compelled to fol
low him, she says—”
a till and silent, endured them. The mar-
rltge of the two would tske place in the near
future, and to Germany, too, whither Ber
tha had promised to accompany the young
girl.
How she believed herself to hate Hit-
brand! For after the communication of
her wish to retnrn home he had earnestly
begged her to stand for a little while long
er in the piece of a mother to Viola, end
to lead the orphan to him at the bridal
altar. Bhe had assented out of indiffer
ence she told herself, for she believed her
pride bad smothered her love.
It was on the third evening after Ibe be
trothal on Monte Ollvcto. Her elbows
propped upon her knees, tbs pretty face,
burled In bet hands, Viola sat brooding
upon the side of her bed. bhe was alone,
and had sat to a long time. Hans Hil
brand bad been gone more than an hoar,
and Berths too had gone back to her
chamber, after wishing the ratlden good
night with accustomed friendliness.
So then Viola sat and thought over the
turn that had come into her life withont
ber will, without her deed, without her
consent even, she said to herself, for she
knew not that e eh) silence in answering
a wooing can often have the ttmevaine
as pn aye, and amounta to about tbe same
thing when the wooer plainly shows that
be interprets the silence in this light.
Viola also knew quite well that Hilbrand,
adnco the evening when he confessed his
love, had regarded her as his own, and in
defiance of it, uninterruptedly thought
bow she could escape him. She bad
waited for a moment when she should
bsve courage to ask her betrothed why
■he bad formerly been far happier than
now; why the prospect of becoming a
great lady gave her no joy ata'I, while the
thought of leading tbe old free life at An
drea's side filled her with rej being. But
these questions had nevtr been able to pass
ber lips. She felt that they would grieve
and trouble her benefactor.or that, in con
sequence of them, he would withdraw
from her ble esteem, and therefore she
shrunk beck. Besides, she bad the unde
fined feeling that she was waiting for some
outer shock; for something that should
snatch her out of tbe dreamlike condi ion
in which she was environed.
But what did she expect? This she now
asked herself in the lonely midnight hoar.
Aboveallhadsheacboice? Since Andrea
bad disertid her, forgotten ber, wuahe
not foictd to 1st berself be crashed by this
respectable happiness?
Then suddenly Andrea's voice rang np
from the qnay by the Arno. He eeng a
F.oreniin* storm llo. In which an inamo
ratn asks hie maiden to com- back to him,
to him wi-h wnom she will find the truest
love, who has always loved her.
With the first verse of this popular bal
lad Viola sprang np; with the last she
found bereelt In the open air, and ran
after ADdrva, who, singing and swinging
his 11 lie lantern in time, (lowly paced the
Long' Arno.

torture herself while she over rated her
folly; called herself the gniltleet creature
in tbe world, and by degrees fell away
from mental health. Bhe laid upon her
self the penance not to eee Andrea nntil
Hilbrand forgave her, and bow poorly she
did without her loved one wae visible in
her pale cheeks and languishing beautiful
eyes.
That things went on no better with liar
friend Bertha inferred from the letters
which Hilbrand sent her from the moun
tains, among which he bad wandered
about aiuce hie departure.
Partly to help the man the loved to
that for which he openly longed; pa-tly
to restore to Viola at least her petce of
mind, she wrested from ber heart the
sacrifice of recalling Hilbrand. When Ihe
letter had g-me, tbe poor woman secretly far north
hoped her friend would not yield oherti- Vs.,
Thereupon she Impetuously threw her
arms about tbe leliow who, half turned,

Bertha nodded.
"Bhe came back this morning, and quite
unexpectedly acquainted me with her

Andrea.”
He groaned and sank upon the sofa To
see him suffer, and, above all, from love
for another, was more than Berihi could
bear, anil she arose to go quietly away,
when the door opened and Viola entered.
As th* latter caught eight of her bem-tac-
tor, she flew to him, threw herself down
before him. and, bending her head hum
bly, leaned her brow upon his knee-r. Bat
she did not soften the injured one Ilia-
wsy. The soger that was rou-ed in him
by the siyht of her was only inert* S’d by
this gesture and demeanor, by which it
appeared thit Viola did not seek to deny
that of which she had been accu-ed. Too
enraged and embittered to appreciate inch
openness in this tbe first moment of his
great pain, he considered it impudence.
Harshly he sought to free himself from
the aims that tiahly clasped his knees, and
blurted oat a few fearful words. Thev
were hardly spoken when the arms re
laxed of themselves, and she slipped to
the floor unconscious, as if a mighty blow
bad felled ber.
Bertha begged him not to be to hsrd, but
he repressed the compassionate emotion
which for a moment mastered him, fierce
ly stifled the desire to spring to the side of
the beloved, unconscious maiden, and left
the room aebv pale, but seemingly indif
ferent. * * * *
With sturdy steps be hastened to hfs
hotel. It seemed to him be must hide
himself from the eyes of men. The blnod
beat In his brain over the defeatsufTered,
over the ignominy brought upon hint by
a woman whom be hail hoped In a few
weeks to call his own. This girl whom he
had picked up out of the streets, whom be
had wished to raise to an enviable posi
tion, preferred a gamin to him. Tun-i
could his betrothed behave. He sprang
up from the chair upon which he had sunk
to brood over the great pain that raged in
bis soul. He did nut endure his four walls
long, but tallied out into the open air, and
wandered aimlessly abuut fur hours, 1’
spite of the burning August sun that
seemed to be scorching him.
Returning to bis hi tel in the evening ex
hausted, he threw himself upon a lounge
iu i is room. Here he lay silent, and ap
peared not to notice his old tetvant, who
repeatedly came in and timoroudy in
quired If tbe gracious master needed limb

nateiy silent, and with his gaze constantly

ood old fellow ran to Fiau Bertha to asa

Without thinking a moment the young
woman hastened to her friend. He still
lay motionless upon tbe eofa. As Bertha,
startled at bit appearance, bent anxiously
over him, laying her soft hand npon hla
brow, he sadly smiled and laid it was

was not so much Viola’s love for Andrea
that bad awakened Hflbrand’s scorn, B o
tha, with wondertut self denial, repievsut-
ed the girl’s Inexperience, the tugeuuon.s-
ness with which Viola made known that
she had pasted the night outside with A n-
dree, an Ingonuonin-ts which plainly
showed that this nocturnal flitting was
nothing more than a childish, nonsensi
cal trick, tor which be most forgive his he-
trothed. With apparent calrunesa Bertha
said tn entreating tones;
“Obtain reel, my friend, while yon for

“Tbe girl is sick—sick because of yonr
harshness."
“Andrea will core her,” be Interrupted
with bitterness ' Only e loved one can

Berthe decidedly denied that be had eo

Then he graaped that gander and swung

Then son and gander disappeared.
