Not ' doubting that the' object of their journey was the old castle. I got up, noiselessly; and' taking a difficult bt very short routeV I soon found myself , among the rubbish and ruined towers of AdlerbouTg. ' One building-remains, at least theljnterior , it te the - principal tov"?r7"the while7ri?nrrnrt-t -which reich es far above the trees of the forest. . . t is in the ifrnjense round chamber, formed, by the ground floor of this tower, the upper stories of which have beende str'oyed, that the visitor -to the ruins generally assemble. I eniered there and concealed myself in one of the loop-holes from which I could watch the arrival of the personages who interested me in so high a degree. The columns, ornamented with a'few remains of gothic sulphure that formerly supported the arches cf the vault,, are arrayed about the circumfer ence of the chamber, leaving a consider able Space between each. Jq cne of these recesses, a well of large diamether dis plays its yawning abyss. Drilled in the rock, it is of immense depth. Travellers have often sounded, it; and, some years ago , l, myself, found there in teen lath oms of water. Joe first time i saw it a storm was raging- outside.-its waters re sponded by a deep roaring like that of the sea, increasing in violence with'lha progress of the "tempest. At first it was a feeble noise, like distant thunder; then, as the flashes of lightning afad bufsts of thunder rouowea eacn other in quicic succession, it seemed that from the bot: torn of the gulf arose an echo of the awful sounds. Since then I have often dream ed of being led to this well by an irresis tible power, I heard lhe roaring of the clement, the fatal had suspended me pyer the abyss; I struggejed in vain with tne iron angers o: tne piantom mat laughed scornfully in my ears, and I awoke at the moment, trembling and covered-with perspiration, when 1 was launched in tbe gylf. ; But, on thi day the sky was clear, the air calm and lira- pid, the waters tranquil. It was not !on before the travelers arrived. ' " How: - delightfully ; cool": said '-'the young lady as she entered. . 'Let us sit down for a short tune on these stones,' "The colonel, since such was the grade of the soldier, made no reply; but," with chilling seriousness, gave a sign of ac quiescence. After resting a few mo ments, the colonel proposed to guide them amonr the ruins. I thought I dis covered in his manner an agitation that escaped the notice of his compnions and I shuddered at the expression of his countenance, where I saw irjinense hat red and n thirst of vengacc?. " Gecre! said the iadv to herycunT friend. A deep groan interrupted Wildherr ! We looked at Arnold, who appeared be side himselfr Wildherr got up and fixed his brilliant eye upon him ; but Arnold turned away. "Amazing resemblance!" exclaimed Wildherr, in a low voice. "Arnold, I saw the face of the young man, when he returned to reply to his companion; he re?embled you Speak. Did you know hjm ? were it not for your light hair, and if I could believe he was living was you !" it Arnold arose, and staggering to the door, reached the street before any one dreamed cf stopping him so great was our stupor. . Wildherr dropped back in his chair.and we all looked at him aghast "Shall I continue ?" he finally asked in a feeble voice. "Go on.". "The young woman asked for the arm of him whom she called Georee. and whose features were so woctlerfully Tike thoseof Arnold. The colonel pointed out to them, jn an absent mauner.the remains of the splendid paintings with which the walls are still adorned. I saw that he was occupied with a secret thdught'.: : "Thai thought I divined ; for no great discernment v;as required to see in these travelers two lovers and a deceived hus band. It was more than that. In a few minutes they approached the well, the young people with curiosity, the colonel with a gloomy and sinister air, I have scarcely the strength to finish my story. There,' said the colonel, 'is a pit associated with many tragic.
