A RUSSIAN OTHELLO ,
Cincinnati Enquirer : The Chateau
do Villac was ablaze with light and res
onant witli music on the night of the
Sloth of October , 1874. The haute voice
of Sauturno sur Marno , of which province
inco the castle was the pride and glory ,
was assembled there to pay its respects
to the young viscount , who that day
reached his majority. The lower halls
were dtlvotcd to the peasantry , while
the grand salon and reception and
drawing room wcro thronged by the
bourgoiso and elite. The clock of Iho
village church had tolled the hour of
nine , but still carriage nftor carriage
dashed up the broad allco ulul stopped
at the main entrance , disgorging the
belles of the neighborhood , attended by
their cavaliers. Stately dames , lee , and
stiff-frilled gentlemen with gouty pro
pensities wore not wanting. Count do
Villac's hospitality had become prover
bial , as ho entertained with the lavish
brilliancy of a courtier of the time of
Louis XIV. No wonder , then , that the
invitations to the viscount's birthday
celebration mot with such general re
sponse. Those invitations did not alone
embrace the nobility of the neighbor
hood , but extended even to Paris.
Do Villac counted his friends by
thousand ! ; . Although since the estab
lishment of the republic he had retired
from publio life , no was still in corre
spondence with some of the most famous
mon of France. Ho was a proud
noble proud of an ancestry which ho
could trace to the reign of Charle
magne proud of his own achievements
of the sword nnd pen , proud of his vast
estates , nnd prouder still of his only
son , Hector , Viscount do Villac. To
the observer this pride and affection
for Hector seemed jusUlied. for , as ho
stood there beside his father and
mother receiving the incoming guests.
ho presented a perfect picture of a cav
alier. Ho was taller by several inches
than his father , who was of medium
height , and his broad shouldersmassive
chest and well-poised head whould have
served a sculptor for a model. A small
bhicic mustache adorned the upppr lip ,
nnd when ho smiled he showed a set of
teeth a woman might have envied. As
guest after guest walked toward the
group Oformod at the end of the vast
apartment to greet the host and hostess
it looked like the ' levee of royalty.
"Tho Counte'ss Milakoff , " announced
the usher in stentorian tones. Every
eye was turned to the door. Curiosity
was on tip-too to BOO the bearer of u
name which had created a stir in every
portion of Europe , from Mouto Carlo to
St. Petersburg. A sweep of rustling
silks wits heard in the ante-chamber ,
and the next moment the Countess
MilakoiT entered the salon , attired in
glistening , shimmering white silk , and
wearing a tiara of diamonds in her
hair and u necklace of gems about her
swan-like throat. Had her prestige de
pended on her beauty , she would have
carried off the palm against tno world.
Imagine , if you can , the idealization of
Dante's Beatrice , and you have a pic
ture of Camilla , Countess Milakolt. .
Her figure was regal , her carriage ma
jestic. That crown of blonde ringlets
encircled hothead like a halo. Those
eyes of liquid fire could subdue a Cusar ; ,
and those lips , when they smiled , gave
a foretaste of paradise , Add to those
charms wit. intellect and a total scorn
of "the world's opinion , which led her
into n thousand extravagances , which
sometimes oven shocked the indulgent
circle of her own sphere , and you have
a dim conception of the fair crcaturo
before you. To some of the guests she
was personally known , to blhors only by
reputation. Rumor Lad given the latter
sulliciont ground upon which to build u
collossal fabric of startling escapades. "
'Well , well , " the old dowager was
hoard to romar ! ; , as Camilla was lost in
a g.roup of gallants , eager lo lead her
tovaml the count , who was himself ad
vancing. "Tho countess Booms none-
tlio worse for tlmt little jou at Moirto
Carlo. "
"I heard nomething about itbut noth
ing dollnito , Ilonrietto , " said the lady
addressed , "but toll mo about it. , '
"Nothing mueh : Milady lost 100,000
rubles in one sitting , got upand handed
her fan to Vondomo you know Captain
Vondomo ? Froiitiac , who wns'standing
by , poor fool , got jealous , mot Vondomo
after ho had seen my lady and to her
carriage , insulted him. They fought
next morning , nnd Frontino fell on the
llrst shot. Milady snubbed Vondomo.
After that ho tried to drown his love in
chamDiigno and rouge ot noir , und
eventually blow out his brains. "
The two gossips would perhaps have
indulged in some moro entertaining
coniidonces , but just then Camilla , on
the arm of Hector , approached.
"My dear countess , " oxomimod the
dowager , rising to greet the new
comer , "what fortunate chance brings
you into the wilds of Sauturno ? "
"Ah , " replied Camilla , with ono of
her moat charming Hiuilps , "when
one him mich dour friends as the
Duchess D"Alalno and the Do Villacs a
trip to the North Pole would bo well ro-
paia. "
"You sweet flatterer , " answered the
duchess. "Permit mo to introduce to
you my very best friend , Madame Mol-
nholr , wife of our procurer. "
Camilla received the introduction
with n graceful bow , A-hca the duchess
proceeded :
"Hut where is Monsieur ComtoV"
"My dear duchess , the comto fools
awkward in a dross-coat. The howl of
a wolf is muro pleasant to his cur than
the voice of R THlcns. The last I heard
of him ho was Jtfomewhoro in the wilds
of Russia .withia hunting party , but that
is thrco moltthsingo. But I sco thai I
tun mo.noiioyzlng the viscount , nnd I
must really tnko him back to his
friends. " M .
Hector , who'hnd ' taken no part In the
conversation , was roused from n reverie
into which Iho'had unconsciously fallen
by hearing himself addressed. With n
blush ho uttered &omo inaudible words
nnd extended his arm to the countess.
* Vt each sopat-alo group the couple
stflpi > cd , exchanging these courtesies
which moan sollltlo , vet help to pass
the time. From the last group Hector
turned with Impatience. "Will this
tiresome round never cease ? " ho whis
pered to his fair partner.
"Hush , Hector , you might bo over
heard , " said Camilla , giving her cava
lier a tap with her fan.
"I don't care if the whole world hears
me. "
"Foolish boy ! Leave mo now ; hero
comes your father. I'll go to him. In
u half hour my presence will bo forgot
ten nnd then your patience will bo re
warded in the conservatory. "
Hector was about to reply , but the approach
preach of the count closed his lips , and ,
with a bow , ho took his loayo. The
music just then struck up the "Blue
Danube , " and Camilla , on the arm of
the count , mauo him forget his ago in
the inn/es of the waltz.
Hector did not dance. Ho was a prey
to a thousand conflicting emotions.
Jealous oven oi his father , ho devoured
Camilla with his eyes every time she
swept by him , and when ho caught her
glance in return ho was in Elysium. At
last the dance was ended ; and Hector in
all haste noarud Camilla before any
other of her many admirers could rob
him of her4company.
'Viscount , for heaven's sake take mete
to the conservatory. The air und adula
tion hero are stilling , " said Camilla , ns
Hector drew near. "And the older
cavaliers are worse than the young , "
she added , casting a coquettish smile
upon her Into pirtnor.
"Beauty rejuvenates ago , " returned
the count , gallantly. "Tako care , Hector -
tor ; the sun of beauty is too dazzling for
untrained oyos. "
Hector for answer offered his nrm to
Camilla , and together they walked into
the conservatory. Neither spoke n
word. Hector felt Camilla's arm trem
ble on his own , and his heart threatened
to burst with suppressed agitation.
When they reached a recess formed by
a mass of orchids and pnlm trees Hec
tor could control himself nd longer.
Witn a passionate outburst he throw his
arms about that fair nock , and drawing
Camilla toward him showered kiss upon
kiss on these willing lips. Ever and
anon ho would hold her nt arm's length
nnd silently gaze into her eyes only to
again print a kiss moro rapturous than
the last upon her. Thissilence was moro
eloquent than \vords , and told the deep
passion of tyis soul which shone
through his oy'ps. At last Camilla sank
upon u rustic bench standing near , and
Hector sealed himself beside her , hold
ing her hnnd' within his own. Her
heaving IJosoih betrayed the emotion
within , for this was the llrst time in
her life that Ctlmilln. Countess MilakoiT
wasin love.J Jsh'o was the first to break
the silence.u
"Hector.'why ( did wo over meet ? "
and she sighed ' as she spoke. "Why
docs destiny' play with human
hearts ? " '
"My darling , you have answered the
question yourrfelf , " answered Hector.
"It is destiny. , We nro impotent
against ilsjdeorees. . "
"But whut < , must'bo the end ? " and
Camilla gazed > into vacancy , as though
with that gaze she could rend tlio veil
of the future.
"Come , my love. The excitement of
your journey from Paris has made you
nervous. Why lose yourself in useless
speculation ? Destiny will shape the
end , and whatever our fate , our love
will sustain us. "
"Love founded on guiltl Hector , I
repeat , would that wo had never motl
Should MilakoiT over discover our
secret I shudder at the consequences. "
"Milakoff , that ponderous shadow
over my life , does not love vou , "
answered Hector. "His dull bruin
does not conceive nor fathom our
lovo. "
"Ah , but you forget , Hector , that Mil

aroused , and ho would stop at nothing.
I never was timid nor stood in awe of
him until now. Now that I love you ,
I would t rom bio nt his frown , fearing
that it betokened harm to you. "
Camilla , trembling at the dangers her
own imagination had conjured up ,
throw her arms about Hector as if to
shield him from the imaginary evil.
A sudden noise of approaching footsteps -
stops stopped Hector s rojjly , and'Joan ,
the viscount's valet came in sight.
"Monsior do Villuc bade me inform
you und the countess that the Comto
MilnkpIT arrived fifteen uiinutos ngo , "
ho said with n , bow , returning us
quickly as ho came.
"Mv God what does this "
, mean , mur-
morod Camilla , and immediately she
lost herself in u thousand conjectures
\yhythocountHhould appear at such u
time ut the chateau , when sho.bnUevod
him miles und miles away , what ob
ject was there in this 'uncx octod visit
when ho novoVcarod what she did or
where she wont. Her prophetic soul
divined a purpose in this unaccountable
event and aho was soi/.od with a thou
sand alarms. She was aroused from her
stupor by Hector , who grasped her
hand nnd said :
"Camilla , this is folly ; Milakoff is
pursuing a whim and not you. "
She made no answer , but took his nrm
and together they walked back to tlio sa
lon. As they entered Ihoy uuw Ml-
lulcofT tulkijig- Count do Villac and
Moiibior Molcholr. And us Hector
looked upon Uhat man , half savuge ,
whoso shaggy , board , lowering eyes. ,
retreating'br ow and squatty figure
the tailor's ur. ) could not oven improve ,
ho smiled , mpcklngly to himself that
sucn un obstuclo could stand between
him and ( happiness. Tholr absence
was scarcely , noticed in the throng , und
their rouppin'iitico ' in the Bulon seemed
equally unpr'dcibivod. The few foot that
separated I'loj ' oi1 und Camilla from the
trio was soon/ traversed , and MilukolT
turned his head just ns his wife brushed
his coat slofYii ,
"Ah , inadiunu , your pardon for intrud
ing without i'permission ' upon your
pleasureshi ; , ,6nid , with a bow which
made ills usual nwkwarduoss moro con
spicuous. "But your maid Nanette ,
whom you loft behind you in Paris ,
telegraphed mo yesterday of your in
tended visit to the chateau. "
"Nunotto telegraphed you ! " ejacu
lated Camilla in ulurmefl surprised.
"If the viscount will permit , " con
tinued MilukolT , for the Ilrdt time ac
knowledging Hector's presence , with
un ironical grin , "I wish to communi
cate important news to you , " and , hewing -
ing to the ether gentlemen , he pre
sented his arm to Camilla nnd led her
to nn adjacent drawing room , whoso
closed portieres hid them from view.
Hector wandered from group to
group , und minutas Rocmud ilka
ugos. Jubt us the musicians were
preparing to strike up , two distinct
jiibtol shots rung out clour and startling
upon the earc of the guests. The bound
came from the drawlntr room , accom
panied by the sound of the
fall of a heavy body. With n
mad rush Hector mndo hla way
forward , but the Count Monsieur Mol
cholr nnd several others were before
him. As they drew back the portiors a
sight mot their gaze that rlvitcd their
foot to the lloor and made their eyes
almost start from the sockets. On a
ciivnn which stood at the further end of
the room lay Camilla. Her hands were
clasped ns it in supplication ; a stream of
blood flowing from a wound in the re
gion of tlio heart stained the white ,
silken robe. Almost at her foot lay
MilakoiT , the smoking revolver clutched
in his right hand , his eyes staring at
the chandelier which cast its bright
rays upon the horrible scone. A gap
ing wound near the tomnlo showed the
direction of the second shot. On the
floor lay a number of letters which Hec
tor recognized as his own , and although
his mind was almost frenzied and only
by n superhuman olTort ho restrained
himself from throwing himself upon his
dead love. The instinct of the olllcial
aroused Monsieur Melchoir into action ,
and ho asserted his authority
by clearing the room. Monsieur
Ijiivois , the magistrate , who was also
one of the guestsassisted thoprocurour ,
and together they took chnrgo of the
case. A servant wns dispaU'hod to the
gendurmcrio.nnd twooHieors responded
to the call. Hector would not listen to
reason und had to bo removed from the
room by force. The rest of the guests
hurried from the house as quickly as
propriety would permit , discussing with
bated breath the tragic events of the
evening.- The Count and Countess do
Villao wore almost beside themselves
with grief , and Hector , under the sur
veillance of his trusty valet , was pacing
his room , tearing his hair , nnd moaning
as if Ills heart would break.
The following day n coroner's jury
solved the mystery of the double tragedy.
Tlio letters were produced , and showed
the haij-on of Hector with the Countess
MilakoiT. Hector himself wns put upon
tlio stand , but could not bo forced to
answer tlio questions put to him by the
examiningotllcitilund ho wns dismissed.
The chief witness was Paul , the confi
dential valet of MilaicolT , who told how
Nunotto was in the omuloy of his master -
tor as a spy upon the countess , and how
the maid had abstracted the letters
from u secret drawer of mndamo's writ
ing-desk. Ho also .throw light upon the
beginning of the attentions of Hector
to madam when they first mot in Paris ,
about a your before our story
opens. The closing scone of the
drama are soon told. Hector wns pre
vented from taking u rush stop only by
the utmost watchfulness of the serv
ants. Tlio Count and Countoss'clcj Vil
luc felt the blow that had fallen upon
their house most bitterly , and the
chateau , once the rendezvous of gayety -
oty , is now ns silent as a cloister. Hec
tor left the scene of his youth a month
after' the tragedy , u brokoiirheurted
man. and when lust heard of hud joined
a party ot travelers on an expedition
into Africa. At the club iu Pari&of
which H ctor was a member a dispatch
was received about a year after the
above events from the governor of Al
giers stating tlmt Hector do V.illnc had
died of swamp fever in a small village
on the borders of the Nile. Tlio sad
news was communicated lo his unfor
tunate parents. The count only sur
vived his son a few months , and the
countess is living alone ut the chateau ,
expending her largo fortune in charity ,
beloved by the peasantry for miles
'
around , by whom she is' called the
Good Mother of Sauturnc.
