he said.
Aud L, being awake and in my senses
night, saw him draw a circle with str
figures in the centre, on which he placed I
pod, whereon thov burnt a pale blue flame
in tho ssidst of tho flame thero came uj
semblance of a band. _"
"Quickly. Zillah," whispered my kinsn
"sign tui8 !"
He held a paper towards me, and I, pn?
my finger, signed it with the gout ol t
that earn 3 forth. Then he thrustlit mt<
fire, and the band clutching it disappe:
upon weich a great darkness foll upon me,
in Has I felt drawn towards tho lao I
icorcbed me. . , .. _ .
?Come back, Zillah!" cried the carl, an,
his baud seized mol fainted. -Excepte
this was the only time that I was awake v
in tho secret chamber.
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. Theu I found her
faithless, aud loft bur. 1 escape d for my life,
fearing ber sorucnos and bur lover'? power. I
havu uot sceu bur lace siucu then till this day."
"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. I
bad forgot it waa myself.
1 was thinking ot'tho lakes aud stroams of
Zurich, and the mountains where 1 had strayed
a child.
To-morrow I die, and before tho ?inda havo
scattered Ibo ashes of this pooi flesh, thc Couu
tesa Beatrice and thc painter Ambrose will sit at
