There were there two young men, bald aad decorated, several sceptical old meo, a member of tbe lostltute, who passes for tbe grandson of Voltaire, some In credulous dowagers, and some young women who were too food of balls to believe in anything else, without counting tbe witty Comtese de Rlgny and the charming Mademoiselle Louise de Hlgoy, her daughter. Yes, said tbe Marquis, I believe lu magnetism, sorcerers, necromaooers, magic, spiri- ttsm, ahlroaiaocy, preoology, vamplre- Isra, the evil eye, in everything which Is supernatural, astonishing, inexplt cable, improbable, lip possible, and t belaive in it firmly, fr^o' poogj tklyand blindly.

These good people do not look upon a strange* *s aa enemy; I knew, too, aiwtyg how to secure a welcome ; I always carried with ma 4 gourd full of goodt Nquor and some amulets agalust witoheraft. I-made presents of my antulota sod liquor, {pod la exchange I uaod to ask for some \ story, and T never had to press. It wae thus that I had been received With open bear! by VtecX BagkHovioh, a rich farmer, loyuL Jovial* a free or aud a free er. used uent me, implacabte war, against any sosmy, It is against doubt. In truth, I am ao credulous that I find perfectly logical tbe reasoniog of that man who main tained that Adam had existed, because be had his portrait In his cabinet. Tbe Marquis Ange-Gcairaa de Houvre was thirty-five years of age. He might pass, without dlscuealon, for a handsome man. to spite of his red hair aad a alight obliquity of vision, which seemed sometimes to direct his eyes towards the comtcmpiatlon of the lufirite. Oontran had.Apale com plexion, flue features, a w >man's bands and feet, a slender waist, a fine name aud a princely fortune. He enjoyed al the same time the reputation of being witty and eccentric. All theee qualities were blended together eo as to form a veritable hero of romeoce. Bear ia mind that Goo Iran had brea twice round the world for bis own amoeement, sod that this name oil mads traveftor added still further to his per sonal advantage* Oo* tblag only spoilt ail this . Tbe Marquis, who** father bad died In a dramatic manner, klil«d In a duel, as sum* said, by sui cide according to other aooouota, had long aad strong* fits of melancholy. His blue eye then became of a pro found green oolor, and fixed Itself up on an invisible point, lost in space. Gontran remained thus absorbed for hours together. You might have compared him to a Hindoo fakir, ancbylncsd in the contemplation of his middle. But this defect was known to his friends alone, and Gontran was renowned In society as ooe of the most brilliant, moet witty and most charm ing of travellers. After his profession of faith the Marquis looked around him as If to seek a champion—an adverse rhamp- ioe. He found none, and continued : Superstition is my element. I was born on a Friday, tbe thirteenth of the mouth of March. It te a fatality ; •very artless belief finds its echo In me,and that which absolves me U. that after successive haveoome-to convince myself that the strong minds are real!y tbe weak minds. I firmly believe that there are unlucky days and lucky days, and I mark them gladly as people maiked them of old at Home, aud as people now mark them at Madagascar. For ail the gold la the world I would not put a shoe or stocking on my right toot first, and I never laugh on Friday for fear of weeping on Sunday. At that moment ooe of tbe two bald young meo, Mr. Arthur deLangetwre, leaned toward Madranoleelle Louise de Klgny, and aaid to her in her ear ; Your Fridays will not be gay when you become MarquWfcde Houvre. Louise ebook her bead and emiisd in sign of doubt, which meant to say that there is many a slip between the cup and the lip. and that, although the fiance of Mr. Houvre, she was not yet his wife. At any rate, iuierrupted the mem ber of the institute, you do not believe iu vampires ; science oaly sees patho logical cases where you see miracles. It would be easy for me— To oonviace me? said tbe Marquis. No, without presumption, not at all. I am tenacious ia my opinions. You speak of vampiree ? You deny that vampires exist? I have seen some. Nonsense. I have seen some, too, said Mr. Arthur Langeterre, smiling gracefully; I have seen some at the Ambign to a piece by Antony Beraud, or by some body else. It was an English clown, who was painted in a most terrific and to sing ms songs watered by libations, and Med to say 'to pointing to hie daughter Heisa'v She le tbe pearl sod rose of Preeteg. It te bees ass she baa a fresh tees and blooming health that 1 can say. to you with a gay moath : My little fbther, here Is a good jodrney to you t Helen was Indeed pretty, bgtMl am neither a painter nor a novuHst, I shall not paint her portrait. You have seen the Eastern types or Dela croix; animate them with the.breath of life and make them ilea sypn in your thoughts. I remained two or three days with Ylecz Baglaoovich. At the end of that time the ribi was falling. if ft MpE We shall have it for a long Ateaa, now, said my host, and you cnnnQt re sume your Journey during such weather. Th* country was, Iu fact, nothing but a vast marsh; the flooded flvar, like a muddy lake, spread Its pellow waters; and in the plain, furrowed with streams that Increased •actfday the trees set off their meagre brafdbes sadly against a low, damp iad gray sky. I thanked Baglsnovioh, ,pod told him that <1 would remain |a hie dwelling uotfl the return of ths r Sttu- bhUM. , May tbe sunbeams never rwtsrn then, said my host, gayly, sod may this Infernal weather continue for long moollw. ThsL .Vpry eveolrtf as we were at talk there came a brusque knock at the door. Who would U be; who oould be scouring the road* at such an hour In such weather? Everybody in the village was shut up is his hpuee; y m could hear the wind walling, and tbe piliovs waving their dlsbevaled branches. liaglafapvK.o rose and op#h- ed the door. We eaw enter a man dressed In the French fashion, wrap ped up In a large black uiantio, wMoh was all wet and dripping over his traveling boots. log smile. He said nothing; he went straight to Vises Baglsnovioh, who watobed him with a wild air; he show ed him his fresh wound and went out. Then Baglanovich uttered a cry of rage and rushed out, but he eaw noth- darknose. log in the profund To-morrow, be said, as be came In, I will go aKrag the Kasno road and demand the body. 1 had forgotten that; I will drive a stake through its heart. The vampire then will not re tard. But, interrupted Madame de Rlgny, J our story is horrifying, Marquis, and really do not know whether I ought to allow you to eontinue it. Have pity on our steep. On the contrary, thehlobdeand sen timental Mile, de Bigay, who adored the novels of Anna Badollffe, voted loudly for the continuation of the •tory. . " * " ^ /J 1 bare flatebed, said Mr. de Houvre. The body of the stranger bad been found on the road by some shepherds and carried to a neighboring farm. It wae thither that Vleca Baglanovich was taken. It is tbe body of a vampire I said the father. He has killed my daugh ter. He teok a stake, sharpened like a lance, and plonged it Into the breast of tbe corpse. The vampire then opened hte eyes; a flood of blood spurt ed free from bis' mouth, and livid Bagla- aovlch turned -toward the kneeling shepherds-; My chlidreo, this one Is smitten with Impotence. God wishes us-to-pray for the hangman and for bis victim. Pray for Helen and pray for him. WU1 you not grant me ho^pttalKy ? he said, la a metalho shodder. A raUi me 1 • *A I Come in, said Vises BaglacoSich, drink, eat and rest yourselt Bleep under my roof as If you w*r* und*-r; your own; you are at borne. But, by | Saint Hyacinths, bs added, a man \ must be the devil himself to put foot | out of doors in such a deluge. Tbe stranger approached the fire and held his feet and hands to the flam*. He was pale, with long block hair, an aqulllae no*e, a brusque pro file, thla lips, but wbat struck me most In him were his hands—long, ! tbla, del teste, almost always motion- lees bands, white and traua parent oa wax. He said nothing. I went up to him and asked him if he was French. Yes, he replied. He added acme oomraoowloce de tails about bis life, but I Iworusd nothing in particular. It seemed os If he wished to hide something from me; It would have been unbecoming to insist I left him to bis reverie, but as I looked at him 1 felt a kind of in- stiootive dread. I turned round and observations I | I saw Helen with her eyes dilated aud fixed upon tbe etraoger. At that mo ment Boglanovlcb rose. You must need rest, he aaid to his new guest Gome. The stranger roee.saluted me polite ly and went out fixing a glance upon Helen. I aaw her become pale: she went and huddled herself up in a cor ner and I heard her weeping. The stranger remained ten days in the bouse of Vlecx Baglanovich, and from day to day Helen became whiter and whiter; her body more and more hnmaterialized and her bands resem bled the bloodless bands of the traoger. In short, one morning abt was founrf dead in her bed. Wild with grief, the father threw blrn-iHf Into my arms, appealing Ufcj death,and eurelog God, No 1 No ! I said to him. Vlecz Bag lanovich, do not die. Before yon go to Join Helen, think that you must avenge her. Avenge her f he said, witk Lbs roof of a lion. D> yon not see.

Mr. de Bermont looked at him with astooishmeat, and then saluted btrn politely. .Madame est servle! said the laekey. Gontran hastened to Mms. de Rlgny.

It seemed to him that he was no lohgerin the Oounteas’s house, but in some faotastlo world. The nightmare of a Waking mao be came soon so unbearable and so ter rible that Gontran roae, left the din ing room and threw himself Into the first arm-chair that ha found, closing bis eyas and hurrying kla face in his hands. It seemed to him as if hte brain were in ebullition or that a le gion of gnomes were teezlog bias. Ob I that man* he said; I bate him 1 But who ia he T The godson of Mme. de Klgny I They never spoke to me about him, Ek!

And he thought that Mr. de Bar* moot bad looked at Mite, do Rlgny aa formerly he had looked at Helen. This thought made theirtood mount to M. de Rouvre'a heart; he returned brM- quely \o the dining room. Thla time bv a singular contrast the faoe of Mr. de Bermont appeared to blm quite peacflfnl and prepossessing. Tbe pale young man was at that mo ment absorbed la the dissection of the wlfigLOf a patrldge, and be did not to look at his •enemy. But Mile. deign rr . , de Rigny did not take her eyee off him. The Marqnte noticed the-fact and his wrath rataraed. Gontran further noticed that Mr. de Bermont affected to refuse certain dishes which were reputed excellent. Mr. de Barmont devoured meats with blood in tbem.snd eat enormously, This appetite, which was, by tbe way, quite natural, seem ed to Uoatrsn a savage voracity. A man with such white hands, who look ed at Loslse so eloquently, who eat eo greedily Oould be nothing but a vam pire. ... Mr de Houvre returned to kla home thoroughly persuaded that Providence, In placing him faoe to taos with the vampire of Preetag, had assigned, him to an important role; that, namely, of delivering the De Rlgny family from such a m on star. It was more tknn a role which ho bad to fulfill^ it- was a duty. How cold be eucoeed in hte task ? Hs would reflect, bat ha wooid certainly sot soon and would show himself perfectly Implacabia. \j Gontran passed a very agitated night All lb* superstitions of hte youth, all tbe black sod blue tales that be bad read tn bis early years, all bis unwholesome studies la matters of alchemy, necromancy,’magosttsm com bined to procure him tbe mast dread ful visions and the moat oompUoated dreams.

Or rather Mr. de Bennont was no other than the stranger whom Vlecx Baglaoovich bad killed. There was no doubt about It. Mme. de Rlgoy was just talking to Mr.’.de Bermont.
