CHATTER IX. (Continued)
She was no ordinary woman, this
Parisian countess. Ho remembered
that ho had heard it said sho was a
born diplomat and that Louis Na
poleon would soonor trust any desper
ate foreign mission to her than to most
of bin representatives.
Why, then, waa sho In Germany?
nor appearance on tho sceno was like
R blight to Paul. The conditions had
really been bad onough before, but now
they woro rendered doubly serious.
When Illldegarde and her compan
ion aroso to leave the gardon, he saw
tho countess also make n move.
He held hla breath when ho saw
nor brush up against tho German
beauty, throw back her veil u moment
and speak rapidly to her, at the same
tlmo pressing u note into the hand of
the fairly surprised HUdegardo.
Paul noticed that the countess
dropped her veil again the moment
sho left Hlldegnrdc's side.
What was tho reason of this scrup
ulous caro?
Did sho wish to avoid recognition
by Paul? He had never carod far her,
though dazzled for a time by her beau
ty and tho scintillating brilliancy of
her intellect. Now ho positively hated
the dashing charmer, and could even
see evil befall her with grim compla
cency. Hence, It was with renewed interest
and not a little satisfaction that ho
discovered a certain fact.
Tho countess had u shadow. In her
turn, sho was being watched, nnd
something about tho appearance of tho
man who kept her undor constant sur
veillance gave him the Impression that
ho belonged to tho secret police of
Berlin.
Then her mission to Baden was no
such dead secret as she might sup
poso, and if she gave her enemies good
and sufficient cause for an arrest, tho
beautiful Frenchwoman who dared to
take such risks in order to gain the
royal favor of Napoleon might sco tho
Inside of a German bastllo sooner than
alio dreamed, even in her most san
guine moments.
Paul had much to consider while
walking to his lodgings. Being pos
sessed of means, Paul had a very lux
urious establishment, which Karl
chared with him of late.
The old woman who took care of
the several fiats usually waited up,
though Paul could always onter with
his key, and this he did on tho present
occasion.
To his surprise, tho lights wore
turned up. Karl nnut have reached
homo ahead of him.
With a smile on his lips ho ab
ruptly entered tho sitting-room to
Bee the figure of a woman rise from a
chair by the table where she had been
reading and to feel a cold hand laid
upon hla heart as ho recognized in his
late visitor tho charming enchantress
nnd shrewd female diplomat, Countess
Almeo!
CIIArTKIl X.
A Stormy Interview..
Paul knew ho was in for u siege as
soon as his eyes fell upon his visitor,
and It required all the fortitude of
which he was possessed to brace him
self for tho encounter.
He took her hand in a perfunctory
way, and would havo immediately re
leased it only sho refused to let him
go so easily.
"Ah! you men forget so easily. It
Is tho poor, weak, loving women who
have to suffer," she said, with such
xqulslte pain in her voico that Paul
night well hnvo been inclined to pity,
only that he knew her so well.
"Countess," ho said, steadily, with n
stern face, that betrayed his design,
"your remembrance of me Is very
kind, but surely tho present time nnd
conditions are hardly suitable for a
lady's visit Had you informed me
of your presence here, I should have
been pleased to have paid my respects
to you at your hotel."
"Ah! that was what I did not wish.
I am not stopping at a hotel, and they
do not know mo here as the Countess
Almee. Besldos It was my desire to
surprlso you."
"You certainly accomplished that,"
"I thought, I believed, you would
be overjoyed to see me. and I had
looked forward with such eagerness
to this meeting. Slnco you left Paris
I have had the blues and have grown
actually thin."
She said this so boldly that It had no
effect, for ho know, it was false. If
anything, she was more plump than
ever, and, as to her moping, he hod no
doubt she had been through a constant
round of gayoty, breaking new hearts
every week, and accepting genorous
presents from her ardent admirers.
"That Is too bad, countess, but you
should not allow cares of state to wor
ry you bo," he aald.
"Ah! you are blind; you will not
Dee. You want mo to tell you openly
It 1b the torment of that little god
Lovo that has harassed me. You have
no pity upon a poor woman who,
reigning a queen for yenrs, suddenly
finds herself the weakest slave.'
"I am Borry to hear you Bay that,
tountess," Paul remarkod, coldly,
"Sorry!"
Tho hands fell from the bewitching
face, now pale with' sudden anger, and
her sloe-black orbs flashed Incipient
lightning aa the realization d:;wned
upon her that her scheming had, after
III. been in vain.
THE RHINE.
RATHDORNE j
& SMITH, Kw Yurk.
"Ah! you do not know what won
ders lovo has wrought cro now," she
said, slowly, and just at that moment
Paul had a faint glimpse of the natural
woman beneath tho coquette.
Such rcmnrkable women havo
lived at all times since tho days of
Cleopatra and Anthony, nnd their pass
age through tho world Is always
strewn with the shipwrecks of mortal
hopes.
The countess 9inllcd mockingly.
"Ah! I kuow whero your lovo has
strayed. 1 have watched you and the
whito-fneed doll you fancy. Listen!
I have implicated tho sweet and unso
phisticated Illldegnrdo with tho polit
ical plots that keep the pot boiling and
seething. Long ere you left tho gar
den a paper I sent to her was In tho
hands of tho secret olllclals of BIb
marck." Paul started aR If shot.
He began to understand the villainy
of which a Jealous nnd unscrupulous
woman might bo guilty.
"What did that paper contain? I de
mand that you answer me!" ho cried,
showing signs of excitement at last.
"Apparently n cipher which could bo
easily read, and which Illldegarde was
Instructed to pass on to tho next ngent,
who would carry It swiftly over the
border to Paris."
"And the cipher what was It
about?" savagely.
"Oh! ii simple recapitulation of the
number of men available whom Ger
many could place on tho border, und
some hints as to tho best line of march
a French army could tnku on the road
to Berlin."
Paul hated her at that moment worso
than he had hated any one in all his
life.
She read his thoughts. "You mean
to betray me to the authorities?"
"It would only bo fair. In that way
I might savo your Intended victim."
"Ah! you do not dream what 11 hor
net's nest you would bring down nbout
your ears If you attempted that. And
do you think they would bellovo you.
whose nume wan signed to the noto I
Gave HUdegardo? At this very mo
ment agents aro watching this house,
believing I have coino here to huvo n
secret conference with you about po
litical matters."
"I am lost!" ho groaned.
"Walt. There Is a chance of escape."
"You mean you huvo terms to pro
pose." "Fly with me. I can outwit even
Bismarck's bloodhounds. Wo can reach
Russln, whero we will be safe. Only
promise that you will be faithful to
me while llfo lasts. It Is all I ask
all I caro for. With that I can well
say good-by to the world."
Eagerly she waited for his answer.
It enmo speedily enough.
Paul folded his arms, he drew him
self up to his full height, nnd looked
her sternly in tho eyes.
"Before I would reward such bnso
treachery I would thrust my hand Into
tho flro and let It burn to the stump.'
His words completed her demoraliz
ation, und she threw aside the mask.
"You cast the offer of my lovo nwuy
Ilka a tattered glove. Well, 1 shall
llvo for revenge, Monsieur Paul. You
will curfio the stupidity of this hour.
I shall find means to wring your proud,
cold heart. No man over treated mo
ns you have done, and it has aroused
all the dovll In my nature. I shall
have a terrible revenge, do you hear
me, a revenge best suited to such an
insult. And now I will relievo you
of my hateful presence, but you can
depend upon It. you aro already a
marked man among the King's sol
diers, nnd a guard will remain to
watch your future actions. Mine you
were, and no other shall possess what
fortune bus dented to me," and, with
flashing eyes, In which ho saw murder
rampant, the adventuress glided from
tho room and was escorted by him to
tho lower door of the house.
CIIAI'TKU XI.
Led by Destiny.
It may be safely assumed that Rhino
lander, after that Rtormy Interview
with tho countess, did not feel much
like sleep.
Long ho tramped up and down tho
rooms, for Karl hud not yet arrived.
At length he retired, nnd when Karl
came in he seemed to be sleeping; yet,
through the romainlng watches of tho
night, tho American lay thero and ar
ranged plans, Just us whon a child bo
had built houses out of cards, to knock
them down tho next capricious mo
ment. Another day dawned.
Paul remembered his promlso to his
sister.
It must bo kept, painful though the
interview might be. Beatrix should
know that at least sho had a father
with an unsullied nume, and that there
was a brother ready to love aud pro
tect her, In whoso arniB sho could
weep.
Accordingly he hastened to the ad
dress he had received on tho previous
night.
Ho hnd already noticed as n queer
coincidence that It was in tho same
strasse as the house where Illldegarde
resided. This did not appear to bo the
only roscmblanee, slnco tho building
Itself had a familiar look.
Passing upstairs and asking to seo
tho young lady, he handed his card to
tho attendant.
Through the doorway camo n vision
in whlto, nnd Paul's nerveless arm3
fell flat to his sides.
For, strango to say, It was not Sister
Beatrix who floated In through tho
doorway, but HUdegardo hoelf.
And, like n flash, It camo upon poor
Paul that, In somo clumsy manner, ho
had succeeded In mixing the numbers,
and thus mndo n mess of It.
However, since tho dnmrge had al
ready been done, ho must abide by tho
consequences.
Illldegarde was ovldently struggling
under a vnrlcty of emotions; but Bho
had been taught how to keep hor feel
ings under fair control, and, besides,
the German maidens are so very mod
est they never wear their hearts upon
their sleeves for daws to peck at.
As Puul had ero now fully deter
mined that this sweet girl was lost to
him, that circumstances had lifted her
far beyond hla reach, allowing him
only the chanco of worshipping at n
great distance, as the Aztec might the
glowing sun, what did it matter, any
way?
"Of course, you are surprised to seo
mo here, nnd I assure you I nm in
clined that way myself, but, slnco I
havo stumbled Into your presence, I
must say something that la on my
mind. Will you condescend to llBtcu,
Frnullen HUdegardo?"
She Inclined her head, as though un
willing to trust her voice as yet.
Now he was ready to mako tho
plunge.
"It Is my duty to warn you against
somo one you saw lust night nt tho
garden; u woman, who has taken nn
Intense dislike toward you, founded on
n senseless fabric, but who wishes you
ill."
"A woman, you say and last
night?"
HUdegardo put thin question hastily,
whllo her manner betrayed more or
lesn excitement.
Sho did not forget, she could not
forget, that she had seen Paul bending
over a sweet girl, holding her two
hands In his own, nnd beaming upon
her witli what appeared to be the most
devoted attention.
No wonder her curiosity was aroused
and she hung upon his words with ea
gerness. "This woman has conceived a Bud
den dislike toward you. Sho has no
scruples about working you injury,
and lias arranged a miserable plan
whereby you may seem to bo Impli
cated with her In treachery toward tho
Kaiser."
Tho girl's face grow white. To a
patriotic daughter of the Hlilno, thero
could bo no greater evil befall one
than to be accused of such a crime.
"Impossible! Who would bellovo
such 11 thing?" she murmured.
"In these troublous times men aro
ready to believe tho strangest stories.
Spies there nro in the hcurt of Ger
many. One wus discovered only n few
days ago within court circles, a woman
who had been trusted nlmost Implicit
ly. Sho Is now shut up in a fortress.
Lot mo try to explain."
"Proceed, mynheer."

CLOCKS OF PAST AGES.
How the l'rrsent Magnificent Timepieces
Originated.
The word clock, derived from tho
French gloehe, German glocke, signi
fies hell, nnd up to the fourteenth cen
tury .it was only used to designate a
bell which was struck at certain pe
riods of tlmo indicated by tho hour
glass. Sundlnls or "gnomonB" were the first
Instruments used In measuring time,
and there is but little doubt that tho
long grnnlto pillars which wo call obe
lisks were used by tho Egyptians If
not us actual sundlnl hnnds, at least
for Bomo astronomical observations of
the movement of the sun.
Clepsydras or wnter clocks nnd sand
clocks came next In order. Tho flow
of sand through n small orlllco is an
accurate method of measuring time,
for tho exit of the sand Is always reg
ular; but wnter Is Influenced by the
laws of hydrostatics; when tho vase la
full the water runs out faster than
whe It Ib nearly empty.
Candle clocks, or tapers on which
were colored bands indicating how
much was consumed in n certain time,
were also used, and their invention Is
attributed to Alfred tho Great; but
this method la oven moro susceptible
of error than tho previous ones.
In most large cities a public record
of tho flight of time seems to havo
been kept by somo method or other.
In 128G St. Paul's in London paid a
salary to nn orologlaro, who kept a
record of tlmo; and in 1371 we find
one employed ut Westminster palaco
to attend to tho clock. Tho first por

man named Do Souable, und aro sup
posed to have been mado In 1300; but
It is not till 1480 that wo find mention
of a clock mado bo that "ho might

Lost the Lord's Nickel.
A little boy who goes to 8unday

"One Is for tho Lord and the other

to start for Sunday school the llttlo

sunshine playing with the two nickels.
After a whllo he dropped ono of them

W Lincoln's Impressive Speech at Springfield on
X His Departure for Washington. 9
N tho llth of February,
1801, tho arrangements
for Mr. Lincoln's depart
ure from Sprlngflold wero
completed, it wns Intend
ed to occupy tho tlmo ro
mainlng between that dato
aud tho 4th of March with
a grand tour from stnto to statu nnd
city to city. Ono Mr. Wood, "recom
mended by Senator Seward," was tho
chief mnnugor. Ho provided spcclnl
tralnB to be preceded by pilot engines
all the way through.
it was a gloomy d.y; heavy clouds
floated overhead, und a cold rain wiw
falling. Long beforo eight o'clock, n
great mass of people had collected at
the station of tho Groat Western rail
way to witness tho event of tho day.
At precisely llvo minutes before eight,
Mr. Lincoln, preceded by Mr. Wood,
emerged from u private room In tho
depot building, and passed slowly to
tho cur, the people falling back respect
fully on cltncr side, and as many as
possible slinking his hands. Having
llnnlly reached tho train, ho asconded
the rear platform, ami, facing about to
tho throng which had closed nround
him, drew himself up to his full
height, removed his hat, and stood for
several seconds In profound silence.
His eye roved sadly over that sea of
upturned faces, and ho thought he rend
In them again the sympnthy and
friendship which ho had often tried,
and which ho never needed more thnn
he did then. Thero was an unusual
quiver in his lip, nnd n still moro un
usual tear on his shriveled cheek. His
solemn manner, his long silence, wero
as full of melancholy cloqucuco as any
words he could have uttered. What
did ho think of? Of tho mighty changes
which hud lifted him from the lowest
to tho highest estate on earth? Of tho
weary road which had brought him to
this lofty Biinuult? Of hla poor mother
lying beneath tho tangled underbrush
in n distant forest? Of that other
gravo In tho quiet Concord cemetery?
Whatever tho particular character of
his thoughto. It Is evident that they
were retrospective and painful. To
thoso who wero anxiously waiting to
catch words upon which tho fato of
tho nation might hang, It scouted long
until ho had mastered his feelings suf
ficiently to speak. At length he began
In a husky tono of voice, and slowly
and impressively delivered hla farewell
to his neighbors. Imitating his exam
ple, every man In the crowd utood with
bis head uncovered In tho fust-falling
rain.
"Friends No ono who lias never
been pluced in n llko position can un
derstand my feelings at this hour, nor
tho oppressive sadness I feel at this
parting. For moro thnn n quarter of
a century I huvo lived among you,
and during all that time I havo re
ceived nothing but kindness ut your
hnnds. Hero 1 havo lived from my
youth, until now I nm nn old man.
Hero the most sacred ties of earth
were assumed. Here all my children
wero born; and hero ouo of them lies
burled. To you, dear friends, I owo
ill that I have, all that I am. All tho
strange, checkered past seems to crowd
now upon my mind. To-day I lenvo
you. I go to assume n tusk more dif
ficult than that which devolved upon
Washington. Unless tlio great God,
who assisted him, shall be with and
aid me, I must fall; but If tho same
omniscient mind and almighty arm
that directed and protected him shull
guldo and support mo, I shall not fnll
I shall succeed. Let us all pray that
tho God of our fathers may not for
sake us now. To him I commend you
all. Permit mo to ask, that, with equal
security und faith, you will invoke his
wisdom and guldauco for me. With
these few worijs I must lcavo you; for
how long I know not. Friends, one
and all, I must now bid you an affec
tionate farewell."
"It was a most impressive scone,"
auld tho editor of tho Journal. "We
havo known Mr. Lincoln for many
years; wo havo heard him spenk upon
a hundred different occasions; but wo
never saw him 80 profoundly affected,

It may ho a trlflo startling to out-of-town
visitors as well na to many
natlvo New Yorkers, whoso Interest
In matters historical has led them to
Inspect tho old tombstones in Trinity
churchyard, bearing names of proml-t
nenco nud power In earlier years, to
learn that two of tho most fnmouMj
Btones thero aro simply "fakes." I
Tho tombstones roferred to aro thoso
of Wllllnm Bradford, New York's .first
printer, and Capt. James Lawrenco, the.
hcio of the naval fight In 1813 between
tho Chesupenko nnd Shannon, and who
died with tho words, "Don't give up'
the ship," upon hla lips.
Thero Is iiIho a third stono which
shares with these In being u co'py.
This stands near tho door of tho nortli
transept, having tho Inscription, be
neath n rudely carved angel head, "Ini
memory of Michael Cresap, first cap
tain of tho rlllcH battalion, and son to
Colonel Thomas Cresap, who departed
this life October tho 18, 177G."
This young rifle captain Is usually
described In biographical dlctlonarleti
us "n trader und Indian fighter." Ho
was n hardy pioneer aa well, penetra
ting nearly us far nn Kentucky before
tho revolution. Tho odium cast upon
him by President Jefferson and which
It lias taken moro than tlirco-quartcrfl.
of a century to ernao wns occasioned
by the belief that Cresap was responBl
bio for tho massacre of the friendly'
Indian chief, Loguu.
This atrocity occurrod in 1774, dur
ing n border wur on the upper Ohio,
which broke out nenr Pittsburg. Tho
niimo "Cresnp'a war" has sometimes
been given to this conflict, because
Cresap went ngainst tho Indians nt
once, and killed what later proved to
bo n number of friendly Shawnecs. II Ik
forcu did start for Logan's camp, but,,
remembering tho chief's former friend
liness, desisted.
Tho truth of tho story, ns brought
out In isr.l , was that Logan's faintly,
nine members In all, became drunk In
tho hut of u drnmscller mimed Grcnt
hoitso, and when in n helpless stato
that vllllaii, with a few kindred spir
