and then placed the whole under
water, where it remained for a week.
It was then taken out and placed on

! THE COUNTESS MELUSINE*
BY MRS. II. WOOD.
CHAPTER II.
'.Who hus taken the oki Hall,
Rachel-Oakfell Hall?" cried An?
thony, in a rushingJieadlong kind of
manner. He was out of breath and
heated, having run all tho way home
in the hope of overtaking that
gracious form gliding so swiftly be?
fore him; and lie had been disap?
pointed.
"How did you know it was taken
at all?" said Rachel stiffly. She was
displeased at his abrupt entrance and
moro abrupt manner.
"Never mind that, but tell me tho
name of the person," said Anthony,
still more impatiently.
"When you address me with be?
coming respect, I may reply to you;
not before," was Rachel's angry an?
swer.
"Pshaw! I meant nothing disre?
spectful, sister. I only want to know
tho lady's name."
"How do you know it is a lady?"
asked Rachel again, with a quick sus-1
picion in her glance. "You are very
odd to-day, Anthony."
"Why, sister." he answered, forc?
ing a laugh, and putting on a caress?
ing manner that was as falso and
strained as the rest, "What is there
odd in asking the name of a new
tenant of tho <^ Hall? I heard it
was let, and I simply wished to know
to whom, as any ono else would wish
to know. It was a piece of ordinary
gossip, surely not surprising."
"Well, there, that's enough about
it, boy. I don't know her name, aud
I don't want to know it. Sho has no
name at all, I dare say. Very likely
she is afr adventuress, and thinks it
best to leave her old address behind
her." And Rachel smiled grimly, for
her gruff wit pleased her.
"Rachel, you are absurd," cried
Anthony angrily, "and uncharitable
beyond bounds. It is really too bad
-a stranger whom you have never
even seen-to at once conclude evil;
it is too revolting-too unwomanly!"
Rachel opened lier eyes. In all thc
years of her young brother's life,
dnring which ho bad submitted to
ber uncomfortable authority like the
most dutiful son, he bad never spoken
to ber so disrespectfully as now. She
turned upon him savagely, and while
rolling out her deep-mouthed pero?
ration, the door-bell rang, and Nelly
Blair entered.
Vapid and unmeaning,:with those
abrupt decided manners which have
no element of graco in them, and
dressed in the singularly unbecom?
ing fashion deligbted in by staid
young ladies in the country, to whom
beauty of toilette is a sin, and who
cannot, for the life of them, divorce
elegance and frivolity, fashion and
worthlessness, Nelly offered such a
painful contrast to the beautiful
stranger he had just met, that An?
thony felt like one, blind or crazed,
whose senses were that moment re?
stored. Had he ever really loved
Nelly, thought lier lovely or found
her loveable? Was that the portion
which life had moted ont to him? and
was he to accept it with thankful?
ness? Surely it was all a dream-a
hideous dream-from which his guard?
ian angel had awakened him before
too late, by the golden gorse in the
beech-wood copse. Nelly was not
sensitive, and her heart gave her no
revelations. She shook her lover's
hand just as usual; looked into his
pale face with her usual smile; caught
the earnest, piercing eyes upon her
own just as placidly as ever; then
turned to Rachel amiably, and brush?
ed her cork-screw curls bv way of a
kiss.
"Well, the Hall'.is takcu at last,"
said Nelly, sitting down and unfas?
tening her bonnet. "Queer, tumble?
down, old place! I am sure I wonder
at an Y one living there; don't you,
Rachel?"
"Who has taken it?" asked Antho?
ny, quickly.
"Oli! a foreign woman-tho Coun?
tess Melusine, or some such name.
Who she is I don't know; but father
drew the agreement, and she signed
herself the Countess Melusine. Such
a heathenish name, too! Oh, Rachel,
ain't it a good thing?"
"For bow long is the agreement
made, Nelly?" asked Anthony.
"With Joe Styles?"
"No, no, Nelly! I mean tho
lady's-the Countess Melusino's-for
the Hall."
"Oh! I don't know, I'm sure, An?
thony. Buff how she runs in your
head! What is it to us how long she
stays? She will very likely bo too
proud to notice us."
"Anthony, I cannot understand
you," said Rachel, very sternly. She
had kept her eyes fixed on her bro?
ther for some time; and Rachel,
though narrow, was sharp.
"Perhaps not, sister. Did you
ever do so?" With which the young
man flung himself out of tho room,
swinging tho door after him in no
very gentle fashion.
"Anthony's queer to-day," said
Nelly. "What is th J matter. Ra?
chel?''
"I cannot tell you," said Rachel.
"The letting of tho Hall seems to
have upset him somehow. I think
that foreign woman has bewitched
him."
"Dear nie!" said Nelly, laughing.
"Well, that is odd now! Why, I
have never thought of her twice.
Men are queer folk, Rachel; not half
so rational as women, after all."
"Somo are not, certainly," said
Rachel; meaning Anthony as tho
apex of tho world's pyramid of fools.
After what was to Anthony a con?
strained and wretched evening, but
which seemed to Nelly just tho samo
as all other evenings, and to Rachel
neither moro nor less filled with fool?
ishness and the waywardness of life,
tho lawyer's ?daughter, to her lover's
profound relief, prepared to go home.
Never had he felt her presence so
oppressive, nor her society so uninte?
resting; never had Rachel appeared
harsher, less womanly, less admira?
ble; never had he felt himself less
suited to his companions, moro lone?
ly in heart, or moro desirous of es?
cape. Ho could think of nothing
but that beautiful stranger who spoke
to him so kindly in the wood, whose
smile had mado his life a glory, and
whoso friendship seemed as if il
would bo no unworthy foretaste o:
Heaven. He could render np accouu i
to himself for tho persistency of his
thoughts. Youths of his ago anc
temperament are rarely introspective
and for the most part content them
selves with feeling, without caring tc
examine; and Anthony gave himsel
up to tho tido without seeking t(
fathom its depth or discern its outlet
Timo enough for that, perhaps, whci
thc wreck came.
Tho weary n'.ght passed, and tin
dull morning broadened into day
But tho hours seemed, to Anthony
to lag as they had never lagged be
fore-as if they were all halt ant
lame, staggering one step where,.for
merly, they ran two-until bo stooi
at the lodge-gate of the Hall. Had :
magician passed through that ruinei
place? or how was it that the wast'
and desolation which had grow:
round tho Hall in its seven yean
desertier had been removed with sue!
marvellous specm? The tangled shrut
bery was thinned and trimmed; th
broad walks, which had grown grce:
with moss and weeds, were newl
gravelled, hard-rolled, smooth an
firm; the lawn was closely mown
and, from rank, coarse grass, spar
gled with ox-eyes and the bitter hawk
! weed, had turned to moss, close
grown and fragrant; the llower-bed
had been cleared of their waste c
nettles and groundsel, and now vVer
j gay with the choicest Howers; whil
the house itself was changed in a
but tho mere outside lines-trellis
work, paint and gilding, marble an
paper and cement transforming il
whole appearance, and creating a pi
lace from a ruin. Rut the marvel r
itali was the exceeding celerity wit
which tho transformation had bee
accomplished, and the unostentatiov
manner in which it hrd been done.
Anthony was bewildered' am
whilo looking about him, almost my
teriously, "I have been expedition
monsieur, have I not?'' said th:
sweetest voice the world had evi
hoard; and the Countess stood nois
hsssly beside him. .
lu her fresh morning dress, wil
the soft wind blowing her cbestni
curls loosely over her face, and givir
a warmer tinge to her fair cheek; wil
her strange eyes, so full of hidd<
meanings, looking at him more kin
ly than woman's eyes had ever look(
before, her smiling mouth and grae
ful figure, she seemed more th.
mortal to tho young country tute
He scarcely knew what he answere
And something never felt befo
rose up within him; tho inner dep
was, for the first time, struck, t'
living spring, for the first tim
opened. Tho acquaintance was n
twenty-four hours old, but already
had stolen from Anthony the sacr
treasures of his life.
How the time passed ho nev
knew. He thought ho had be
about an hour, perhaps a couplo
hours, at the Hall, when tho suns
fell and the moon came out. He h
spent, then, the whole afternoon a
part of the evening in tho garde
with tho lady, and had taken Iiis <.
light in such deep draughts that
had scarce been able to understand
flavor. But if Anthony had been i
conscious of all save feeling, t
Counttess had dono her appoint
work with vigor and undcrstandii
and long before parting-time h
come, had learnt the names, biog
pliies and rent-rolls of every family
tho neighborhood, their weak poi:
and their strong ones, where tl
were most vulnerable, and where tl
wero intact. Anthony was too mt
absorbed to notice the greedy inter
whic! she lent to this descripth
too much fascinated by her grace ?
kind nss to ask himself why :
cared to know all these minutie
people she had never seen, or of w'
possiblo interest it could be to ]
that young Mr. Briggs had two th(
sand a year, and old Mr. Smith f o
that the Hopgoods were the princi
friends of tho neighborhood; t:
the Joneses-retired Liverpool TC
chants-were said to play at ruin
stakes sometimes; while Capt. 1VJ
Arthur was a professed gambler, ?
lived by tho Bad^n tables.
If Anthony had looked at his com
nion as ho detailed this last bit
local gossip, ho would have seen t
she changed color and slightly fro1
ed, whilo something that might h
been a naughty expletive, from
sound, rippled musically over
lips. But ho paid no attention
this, nor to the inexplicable 1:
muttered exclamation, "Ready m
to hand," said in tho sweetest
gentlest of voices, with the brigh
of glances flung far over tho lr
scape.
The Countess laughed. "I cc
tell you more than this, Mons
j Antoine," she said pleasantly. "
friend, M. le Baron von G?ldenst?
has told mo a pretty little nest of se?
crets-perhaps more than you know
of hero in your virtuous little valley. "
And then Anthony was gracefully
dismissed, tho dinner bell havi
rung; and mid-way in thc broad walk
a fair soft hand joined itself in with
his, and tho loveliest of hazel eyes
looked with swimming gentleness
upon him, as two small dewy lips
parted, and a voico as sweet as a
young bird's expressed pretty thank?
fulness for the honor of this long
visit, and many gracious hopes that
it would bo soon repeated, and that
they, the speakers, joined now in
hand, would become firm friends and
great allies. Whereat tho delicate
palm gave an almost imperceptible
pressure against his, and tho dewy
lips smiled a tenderer smile.
"For he is really very handsome,
and his innocence is quite delicious,"
she said, speaking to. her maid, to
whom she related tho substance of
this long day's talk.
"Well, and after?" si.ld that indivi?
dual, in French, setting herself fami?
liarly by the Countess on the sofa.
"Weil," answered tho lady, yawn?
ing. "It is a good field, my dear,
and a safo venture. And now to din?
ner, for, ob, I am so hungry."
