When I opened my eyes to sense again, censer, the tiro, and the hug of flame an the tripod were gone, and I saw only thc of mv innaman leaning over nie. "Had vou crossed tho tire. Zillah, you c havo died. But your wish is granted. T did you desire ?" "I wro:e, 'Let Ambroso come hither, lothian love me,"' I answered, as my chi glowed with sudden shame. The earl laughed at this. "Not so, my witeh; this is what was written." And crossing the circle, to where the ? lay dead, be lifted from it the paper, seora yet sot burned. And on it I read this : " the wife of Ambrose bo accursed, let her as the wicked dio. and let tho heart of husband be turned against her." I fl the paper from my ?aand, and burst into bi '*^Am I come to this," I said, "that ?ike evil woman I should scatter curses on the nocent ? I wish no evil to the wife ot Ambri let her be whom she may. It was cruel to oelve me thus." "I thought tho spell would amt thy jeal nature." said the earl. "And take heed tl marrr bim not thyself. It was to hinder I that I wroto it." My soul was siok for son-ow, when in morning I awoke and remembered thia a dream. v. "0 Zillah, have I found thoo at last?" It was the voice of Ambrose, and I ahriol aloud for fear. Hs leoked worn and wes and he was elad poorly in a pilgrim's ga He seized my palfrey by the rem; and stoi ing he kissed"my hand. "ls the Lady Beatrice near by, Ambros I said in a tr om bing voice. "Beatrice bas deserted me.'' he answer and his faoe flushed scornfully. "Have j not heard, Zillah, how the English ambas dor at Paris se >t messengers to ber, saving kinr had restored her father's lands? A t.ot heeding my pmer, she departed with 1 rotinus sent for hoi-." "But you followed her to England, A brose." "And found her a great lady, too proud give a smile lo oldfriends. since thon I ht sought theo and thy father, Zillah, in mr. pamtul wandering." Se I brought Ambroso to tho car), and waa settled be should help my f ither in t great work going on im the castle. Thus J s him ?very day, and loved him ?etter than old, and being freed now from his love for Bi trice, his heart turned to me, and he loved 1 ts dearly as man ever loved woman. '.Ziihb," be said once, "I think I havo lov heo always, but Beatrice made me fear tl .'omtwhat. She swore she saw thee lay a sp upon an old fish-wife, who beat a little elli .with a cruel hand. And under this spell t hag belabored her own visage till she shriek to thee for mercy." I laughed, and yet I trembled. " Tis tru? I said; "I have some such power. Some I c make sing and danoo, laugh or cry; I cann do this with all people. And I know not wb tho gift may be; but surely, Ambroso, it not witchcraft?" fizt he answered me, with a face paling the hue of death, "Beware, Zillah, cf th > t power; be not tempted to uso it. It is of t Bril one, and it will destroy thee." So, fearing to loso bis love. I doled n tail him of the secret sorceries to whioh ti ? earl had forced me; but I feigned illness, ai refused again and again to go to the mag chamber, till my kinsman grew angry and dei roughly with me. Then I told Ambroso of b hardness, and we two, being resolved to fie went to a priest and were marned seoretl -?-?^-^uae?tle|yiyTOA www ikm?&mri finished. And daring this delay, there w; brought to tho castle a fitter, closely cur tam? guarded by armed men, and I saw alight fro it Beatrice-the Lady Beatrice Damornow. She spoke courteously to my father and ac brose; but aa sba passed mo, she drew awt her robe, and muttered "I like not witch-blood.''. That night I wept bit-yarly at my husband knee, and besought him tc* leave this evil cai tie. Then with kisses and kind words h soothed me, saying ho would wait till the earl treasurer had p'aid him for his work, then v, would go. \ Ihe next day a whisper ran through th r\N^ household that the earl would wed his ward b&jf - the Lady Beatrice; and the poor wan boy-hi kr" son-came to me with a white raes, and aafce |~k? * if it was true. I said "yes" with my eyes, not daring t speak. . Thou tho child put his arms ob jut me and leant his cheek against mine. ' Zillah," he said, "I have but theo in th world ; do not forsake me for yon cold-hearte< pa'nter. I love thee a million times bette: ' than he can love. Tarry for me, Zifiab, till : be a man; then 1 will mako theo a lady, am thoa shalt nover weep again." "Come away from the witch, boy 1" cried ? sharp voice. ix was tue Lady Beatrice, who had slolei softly on us as we sac in tho embrasured win dow. And at her bidding the child's smal arms tell down from my neck, and, with Upi quivering, and tearful eyes looking back or me, he went with her, she dragging him bv th< S- 4 hand, ? ' ? Teat evoDibg, as I sat alone spinning, thc earl cime? upon me suddenly. "Zillah,' be said sternly, "I will not have my child's heart turned against the lady who ii to be his mother." "She lies, if shs 6ays 1 did it!" I answerod scornfully. Then my courage faded, and I fell on my knees. "lay lord, I have troubled your roof toolong; let me depart." PJJ^,^ ''Pu* ???de such a thought forever, Zillah," SS he said in a finn voice. "Thou art my guest V^f-.'^l'jj^ or. prisoner, if thou wilt-for fife. Come to SSSg! v^fftht teeret chamber to-night and boru mo there ''ifV'^^P^ the waxen effigy of mine enemy- the man who mB* stands next tue kim:." "I cunno; do yocr bidding, my lord," I an Jr swered; "for my husband, tc? whom I owe a holier obedience, has commanded mo to cease these arts." "Thy husband, girl ! Who is thy husband?" "Ambrose, the painter, my lord." Even here in the close prison I shrink from thought of the earl's fury. He struck mo to the ground in a sudden" frenzy; but as I crouched, fearing a second blow, I felt hi& strong arma wind about me, and lus Lif. s stifled my cry wich kisses. .'_ "O rare witch and fooll" ho said; "not to fr"? see these many months how thv sorceries have beguiled me uto lovo. O Zil.ah ! Zillah ! in the witch-chamber whero we wrought our spells, when that mystic shep bound thee, thino arms havo clasped my uock, and thv lips . . have pressed mine. Surely it is a he that'tbou art a wife. Say it is false, my witch, and I for? give thee." Breakiu,? from him, I fell upon my knees, and Razed into his cruel face with looks of horror. Was he speaking truth? Was I so lost? Had my lips ever touched his-I, who so feared and hated him that I shuddered evon it his shadow crossed me? Then there came into my momory thronged shapes of pain cud horror unutterable. The mmes ot iucouso and the smoke of cncheutnients rose up before me, and wi thin their wreathed vapors writh? ed grim sh-dows aud forms ot demons. And witn these there grew upou my lips tho earl's bot kies, drawiug soul and soaso away. Yield? ing to it as to a hideous spoil, 1 sank dowu senseless aa his arma clasped me. I awoke in the witch-chamber. I w s lying on a silken couch, aud before merose tho perfume of incense aud the smoke of enchantments. Between thu wreathed ur-us I saw dimly tho form of the earl, who c.mo and went like a ?. shadow; but I could neither speak nor move; for the spices that burned close by numbed my sense. Then suddenly he tornea; ho lixed R bis eyes on my mino, and waved his arms as wizards do. I struggled against the spell; 1 ^ loathed the power conquering me. But all |L>- was vain; and scon my eyes closed. My ir ms E fell upon his neck, ?ind my bead drooped upou his suoulder. Th 11 bia lips touched my ear, whispering words of love. - "Aly life, this night 1 have but half-chained thy senses. I would have thee know that thou art mine. Now call thia grovciliug painter, this man who dares to fovo my witch. It will _^?Li - be raro sport to behold bin wonder when he I '-Hb__ seea thce tiere." ImF^T7 Obedient to bis wicked will, obedient to the pp ghtest touch ol bis band or glauco of his oyo, J I called in spirit to ray husband. I bade li come through fire and peril, through slcon watching, through health or sickness; alive dead, 1 bade him'come. Then upon my fainting hoart 1 heard i echo of his steps "through corridor and vauli ball, through tho masked door whero. tapes hung, and on to tho sliding panel. As hand touched this, my writhing spirit strove a last struggle to bs lreo; but the voico of 1 wizard-earl whispered, "Say thou lovest r. witch, and let this man hear thee." And i loathing lips uttered tho words he bade me. "Harold, my love, my love 1" And cia.-pi his neck, my bowed head^ sank on his sho der. As ono in a dream, Ambrose stood be wild? ed, bis face like a dead man's. Then I saw jewelled baud-Beatrice's-seize his arm a draw bim away. And the great torture I f did not awake me, till the earl unbound t spell. Then, in my misery and shame, os 1 mocking eye laughed in ray faco, I fell weepi and moaning at bis feet. "Poor witch !" Go to thy husband now, a seo if ho will accept thy conipany. Get to t chamber and weep there; I bato tears." 1 fled from him, weeping as I went, and th in anguish I sought Ambrose, but ho w gone. Then, like one maddened, I rush for;h into tho night, and overtook my husba beyond tho drawbridge, walking slowly, wi his head bent low and lips quivering, caught him by tho hand, >;nd implored him bear me "I have seen thee, witch!" he answetc And casting ruo ft om him, ho wont Iiis way. I would havo followed him, but as 1 arc from my despair, thc earl seized me, and he me in his strong clasp. I saw Ambrose pa out of my sight. And henceforth I was alono and. silent; foi would not rack my fathor's heart with i doleful story. vi. The Lady Beatrice was cruel to the child, ai I saw his gentle face grow wan, and his sr get slow and languid. At last ho lay si nearly unto death, and he would take nothn save from my baud, t?o they let me como him, and I tended him gently, hiding n ghastly woo as I could from his sight. "Thou art fading iiko a flower, Zillah," 1 said, putting his wasted arms about m "When t am a man, I will be thy champio and if any hore wronged thee, thou shalt ha redress." Alas ! .'here was no redress or mercy-for n on earth. * I love? the boy, and I often put my face apt his pillow, and tho touch of his soft che* comforted me for my woes. "I shall not be with thee long, little one," said. "Tho Lady Beatrice weds thy father a week, and I lear she will drive poor Zills from thy bedside." "Thon I shall have a cruel step-damc ni thou a hard mistress," he answered. Ai turning his wau face on the pillow, I saw tea; course down it softly. I wiped them awa kissing him, and wc sat hand i.?. baud silcn till tho twilight gr?.w imo darkness. - They wore married at court before tba kim with tournaments, and pageantry and frastin; and while they revelled there fell upon ma an tho child a short peace-a little lull in my gre! sorrow. In this tranquillity my father died. 0, than Heaven he died! And kBe?lii?er dewn besic his cold faco in tho night I vowed I would qu all unlawful arts, and flee from this wicke prison for ever. When morning dawned I wei softly to the chamber ot the siek child, and fouu him sleeving. His faco was sicklier, sadd? I than I had ever seen it, and his cheeks wei I wet as though he had slept weeping. I dare not look twice ou him, lost 1 should stay fe his sake and lose my soul. So I put a lilt] flower in bis thin hand as a farewell,, and stol away, not waking him. */ Thus I flod from my unholy thraldom And now I cannot recount what happen el to me, for my memory is full only c dim shapes. I know I wandered hither am thither-not always m my right mind-till m; beauty was gone" through weather and want and the lameness that rest and luxury bad al most healed grew upon mo painfully. I cnn not say how lang I wandered. I see, ns in i picture, tho summer sun, and the winter suov descending on tho head of a weird woman win begs for chanty, while children run from he; and men cbase her as a witeh. I was crooked, ns I have said, and lame, am poor; and my long hair, which in summer time I washed in clear streams and decket with flow?re, fell down io my feet. So you sei I was like a witch. * I remember this sommer-this last summe; of my life-with undimmed memory. I re member the briffht min shining on me au '. came timidly into the harvest-field, and hum blv prayed tte reapers to let mo glean. I re me. "Bring her to my lord !" they cried. As they dragged mo on, bridge and moat buttress and tower, grew familiar to me; am as we crossed tho hall I looked up ou the paint' ings my lather's bond bad wrought, and 1 sun myself face to face with that great wizard, anti his-wife the Lady Beatrice. Her eyes gleamed with joy and bato ns abc saw mo. "Ah, ZiUsb; the witch I" ?he crie?; "have thv witchcrafts brought theo to this?" ? clasped my hands and looked mte her piti? less lace, but my hps wc^ld not speak foi quivering. "Lodge her in tho dungeon," shoeaid, and turned away. But I was past grief and fear; and careless as a stone drops into a well, so did I fall upon the straw of that damp dungoon, and lorget in sleep my misery and my madness. A bright light awoke mo and a strong hand lifted me tu my feet. "Zillah, it is I," said tho earl's voice. "There is powor still shining in those wild eves of thine. Promiso to obey mo, and I will freo thee from these chains, and hide thee from thy lady's eye, and oil that gold can givo shall bethiue." "I will not listen," I st'id calmlv; and I cov? ered my cars with my shackled hands. Then he took them in his strong grasp. "Zillah, 1 have discovered stranpo secrets iu earth and ah-, and with thy help I can do ye' greater things. These mysteries aro no sorce? ries, they aro truths; and through these I eau show men how to travel swift as birds. I can build ships of iron-" But I tore my bands from his grasp, and ran shrieking round my dungeon, drowning his prayers and promises with my ciics. Wearied at last with my madness he flung mo from his hand in fury. "Die, witch, thou, if you will," he said. And he took up his lamp to depart. But at thc gate he turned, and as the light shone upon his face, 1 saw it full of bitterness. "Zillah, poor fool and witch," ho said, "there is something in my soul that ia sorry tor thee. Awnko, thou art only a poor weak woman; but in sleep thou bust told mo some of tho wisest secrets that exist on earth; soo hore eirl." And ho took from his vest a crystal globe, dark-looking nnd Ailed with a leud-hko powder, "i'lt tough I hoe I havo mad? this ball for my enemies. Nay, do not touch it, therj are a hundred deaths in ft. J-ui the ball alono is us lesa. I need .-onie weapon, somefldeadly instrument which shall hurl it among our foes. I ask thee, then, for England's sake, be my witch again." I shudderod at his words. "Our lady forbid," I cried, "that I should aid thee in thy sorce? ries! England has stout arms and arrows for her foes. Take thy witch-boll away; it mad? dens me !" Ho looked at me with exceeding sorrow. "Zillah, thy brain ia crazed. And I am vorily to blame tbac in thy wilch-slcop I made thoe foign lova lor mo. I did il to drive thy hus? band from theo. I feared as wife and mother thy weird powers would depart, mid all my great discoveries would elie. Alas ! they perish now, perhaps for centuries, perhaps forever!'' I would not answer him. I sat cowering in a corner of tho dungeon, my head upon my hands. "Zillah, do not fear me. In all those hours of myalie 3loep, I swear I never touched tbino haud. It was but to deceive that puling painter-that coward unworthy of thy heart that I feigned love." "It was a daod worthy of a wizard," 1 said, "to trample thus on a woman's happiness and honor!" "What was one woman's peace, compared to the glurious truths I sought-truths that would make millions happy?'' Ho spoke as if to himself, but my heart swelled ut his cmelty. "Leave me !" I cried iu indignation. ..If I leave thee thou wilt die, Zillah-die ns a witch." "I care not. Belter die than be a witch again." "Zillah! Zillah !" thc times are not ripe for such ns thee or me. And il thv dient, thy in? nocent blood will be on my head." "On thy head let it be," I answered. He stood a moment at tho door, gazing on me sorrowfully, tho dying lamp throwing a pale light across his haggard faco. "Dost thou forgive me, Zillah? ' he said. I thought of my lost life, my crazed wander? ings, und my hnsbauds hoait turned against me. and my eyes swam in salt tears. "But Ibero was Ono who suffered more," I said to nriself; so I answered, "Go iu peace; 1 forgive thee." Then there fell between us a short silence, broken only by the sol? ?hicii gasped from my dry throat. "Zillah, thou shalt not die," said lhe car?. And coiner to the grated window of mr dun? geon, he flung the hugo key Inhold into the moat. '.Tho postern door at tho top of theso nar? row stairs is unlooked; "?scayo, Zillah, for thy lite. Alas ! and all thoso great things that I had hoped to do will die now for ages. Hasten, gil I, Test I attempt again to soize thee !" Ho uudid tho chaius upon my hands, and as these dropped with a heavy clank apon tho stones, he left mo. I listened to his ascend? ing steps, but at tho top of tho narrow stairs he missed his footing and fell. Then a noise hko thunder shook the caBtlo from the top? most turret to tho duugeou floor, a flash of tiro blinded mo, and 1 fell senseless. When I awoke, I saw moonlight through a rift in tho wall, and passing over fallen stones and dust, I reached thc ;uius of tho stairs, aud beheld the earl lying dead, hooping ovor him I un? did his vest, and found the ball of crystal which he had mado by sorcery was gone. Doubtless this had killed him; and his face was blackened as hy Sro. Moreover, an unho? ly emoll ot sulphur, and a hideous smoko, ?iiod thc ruin. I sat by the dead man amazed, not seeking to escape; and here the frightened warders found me. "The witch! tho witch!" they cried; "abe hath slain my lord tho earl. He lieth hero dead-slain by sorcery; and the wall is rent and the castle shakou by her witchcrafts." And so, amid woeping, and cries ot toiror, and blows, I was carried to another dungeon, vii. I will not tell of tho long, long months in prison; I will not toll of tho torturo and thc chain. These bloodshot oyes haye wept toard of blood, aud thoso parched lips have shrieked iii vain for morey. 1 eoutcBscd willingly to all my sorceries, but these did not .content them; so under torture I shrieked a thousand false? hoods. I told of things that could uot be; I bed again and again aguiuot my soul. 0,1 satisfied their greedy cars with lies, for which siu I weep new; and therefore I write this conlcssioii, whereiu alone I speak tho truth. When my trial came, tho warders swore it was I who had killed tho carl-I who had shaken the ibunda ions ol thc castle, andopenod the door of my prison by enchantments. Tho Countess Beatrice witnessed against me with calm cruelty; and, though 1 appealed to her for my life's sako to say it L ei husband practiced not strange aits, sho answered "iSever, witch, unless betwitched by theo." Aud the judge said that, save by sorcery, no such bull as I bau spoKen of cadd be made; therefore-1 was condemned by my own lips. Then they 'nought a witness inf court, thc eight ot whom wrung my heart. Men camed lum ou a paliet bud, uud as I saw Iiis palo face lyiug on thc pillow, I wopt. "Thou too, Gilbert?" 1 unod. But thc child turned his eyes from mo, aud would not look my way. Then he was raised iu men's arms, for with? out their aid hu could not sit, and ina sud low voice he toid ibo judge my witcheries hud made hun love me, aud Lho Dltterest draught ii um my Laud hud scumed uwuet to him. And many other thiuits ho said, having tis heart turned ugainst me by myouemy, bia stepmoth? er. But while ho spoko, hu kept his ?mail white face away from my face, nor looked upon mo onco tm thc inch hore him away; tuon his eyes turned on mo, an A his pale check flushed wita sudden pani. "0, Zillah, is it thou, so cliaugcd? Would to dod they bad not mado me speak against theo. Pardon me, Zillah, pardon nie!" "I forgive thee, my pu?r cudd!" lanswerod. "Do not grieve when ldie." ' Woman," cried the judge,' all tho court can seo to what a cruel ??rail and weaknu&s tuy sorcery hath brought tho young Loni dilbert. 'Take thu noble boy from her prosence." iso tho men bore niui away, but ho was weep? ing us hu wont, und I heard him say lo thu men that bo would pray to die first, tor lao could not bear to hvo and sec Zillah die n cruel dual h. Alasl lor that tender Lear.. lu forcing him to cruelly they kided him. Yesterday the jailor satd to me: "Thc young Lord Gilbert is dead. Will thy sorceries never cease, witch? Aud tho crowd cry aloud tor thy blool: lin j gainer fagots iu the wood to-day!" But 1 leant my head upon my hands, and thanked Uod tho child was gone. Now I hurry on to ibo und. As thoy b^ic tho juung Gilbert away, and my dry eyes watched him, 1 thought P?y worst pang went wuhhim; but it was not so. I'iio Voice ol a new witness startled mo, and turning, I saw Ambrose, my husband. "lama painter," hs said; I carno hither by tho countess'command to liuisli tho cuiliug ot the hall begun by tho prisoner's father. Then 1 heard she was in prison. 1 have known bur ns a witch ad lier lite long, 'ibero is witeh Yet even tuen I felt her spell, and, to save myself, ? gave my love to a noble Indy; but iu ibo end, by witchery, sho beguiled my heart, und I becume bur husband.

"Atnbroao," I stud, and roso to my feet, "I was never faithless. Thou has buen deceived by ii birungo glamour, past my poor wits to explain. But 1 loved thee ever, and 1 lovo thee si ill. Now, say on. Death ia not so cruel as this thy treachery." I sank down upon my seat-tiny had giveu nie a sect tor my weakness-aud 1 looked sadly on his white taco working with strange tremors. "I defy theo, wileh!" bu said. '1 abhor thy love and thee!" I looked upou ?lim, but Iuttorcdnowordmoro. Hope und I had parted now, and 1 had no more to do with love ur life; my huarl was brokeu. And wheu they badu mb stand to hear thu judge's sentence, I smiled, and wondered who thu witch ?as that was condemned lo die.
