[From the French of Jules Clxrstle ]
Yes, decldely I said the Marquis,
looking courageously at the mocktog
circle that surrounded him. 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

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

libations, and Med to say 'to

with a gay moath : My little fbther,

shall not paint her portrait. You
have seen the Eastern types or Dela

your thoughts. I remained two or
three days with Ylecz Baglaoovich.
At the end of that time the ribi was

We shall have it for a long Ateaa,
now, said my host, and you cnnnQt re

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

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

Then Baglanovich uttered a cry of

To-morrow, be said, as be came In,

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

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.

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, !

He said nothing. I went up to him
and asked him if he was French.
Yes, he replied.
He added acme oomraoowloce de

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

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

Marquis fait himself sailed with a
veritable vertigo. 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.

about him, Ek! No 1 a thousand
times no ; It is tbe murderer of Helen;

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. In tbs morning he was worn
out and livid. He rose almost with
polo sod hurried oft to see,tbe Oooot-
ess and told ber frankly and oiearly
what he thought of Mr. de Bermont.

After having spoken of tbe marshes

turned toward Mr. de Bermont and
asked him. somewhat brusquely :

Of meeting you in those parts?
