CHAPTER VIII.

The proclamstion of Hans Van Kempen, offering a reward tor Bryan Bionday. exeit

ed the indignation of the Whigs and the! wonder of the T rics. It was eurprieing ‘What bas made Bryan Blonday so im | ‘Ortant & personaze in the estimation of the | Patroon * asked F zz] the Attorney, of his friend Peter Schnapps, after reading oT

‘But the chances of war, P ter, may t'r wthe young mad in the power o' the Patroon !’

*U., the devil take such chane &” said P ter ‘Bryan i- wide awake. Why, bie-s vou, ser, Hans coud not trap him when ot was bore, and what can he do now?

* Who ie the young lady that can turn an id firent eve upon the yourg Patroon and 6 wealth ?

‘Ah,’ cried the Attorney, * uo poor fortune herself.’

‘No, indeed.’

‘ But she resides at the castle ?’

‘Yes

‘Aye, smile Eve smiled in the garden. Scorn me, if you will despise my power. Yo may yet feel it.’

‘I am prepared,’ sad Viola, calmly.

* You shail have need of preparation.’ re plied Hans, ‘need of all the fortitude of which you seem so confident.’

‘It will not fal me.’ quietly responded the girl { have no fears. do not defer your operations in consideration of it.’

‘Then [leave you. madam and remember, T shall tak+ you at your word. When the storm comes you must not complain ”

*] will no I assure you.’

Hines departed and left the maiden alone

Aa svon as the duor closed upon him, the feeling that had sustained ber through the mn. terview 2age way,and she wept like a grieved niant. It seemed that her heart wuld break

She felt that she was a lone female, and in the power of a desperate man. She deeply Freyfetted that she bad not consened to Bryan's proposal of an immediate unicn.

* Atleast she said. ‘it woud have Gon- ferred upon him the right to protect me.’

The wind of Hins und rwent a great change after he had reached his own room, Al thoughts but one were driven {row it, and thac assumed a burning intensity. lt was the thought o° veireaace *I will Se avenged! he said furiously smiting the table with b.s clenched fist ‘1 wil! suceeed—or die.’

His r-fl-e ions were dark and murderous.

At one time he resolved to double the re ward he had already « flered tor Bryan 8 ap prehension; and at anutner, he res lved to raise & Company of armed men, und place himself at their head for the purpose ol hunting down the youth,

Where should-he go? Uow should be search? Where wis Bryan Blonday?

Toe impos. bility of answering these ques- tins, ec used him to h siiate, before he ad pt d any rash echemes.

Lie passed a sleepless night. In the morn- ing, when he descended from his chamber, his countenance was pale and baggard.

He continued bis operations upon the new building in the settlement, and trom this date, he seemed to regard its speedy compl: tion as a matter of the most vital importance. He inere sed the number of laborers employed upon it, and night and day the neighboring wouds echoed the blows of the axe and the bammar.

Public curiosity increased. Crowds were frequently gathered atout the grow:ng edifice,

‘And so am I.’

‘ But will you listen to my proposals ?’

‘ Proposals are useless *

‘If you wil eunsent to receive me as your husband. [ will remove all right or claim co your property,. and it sball be set apart for your own tree use?

* Ie will not do.’

¢ But does not the offor convince you that Iam di-interested in my views! I would wed ycu for yourself alone. ‘That can never be.’

* And why not?’

* Do not urge me to tell,’ ‘Nay [insist apor knowing. It is but teresied ’

‘I du not love you.’

* That you tave a.ready tuld me.’

Viola hesitated.

‘Now give me the true reason,’ urged Hans.

*T love another’

A dark frown settled upon the Patroon’s brow, but it was eantight compared with the blackness that swept over his soul,

* Who te that other? he asked.

* You have no righ: to inquire.’

Hans knew well enough

* But 1 will know,’ he said.

* Perbaps you will.’

* Do you refuse to tell ?°

‘1 do.’

‘ Beware,’ exclaimed Hans, starting up, and striding the room. ‘Beware, do not tempt «e too tar. Consider before it Is tio late. IT will be tu you all that you can desire, gentle, kind, and true. Turn me not off for an adventarer, a nameless —’

‘Enough,’ eried Vi Ja, indignantly. ‘1 will hear no more. Tt you are a reasonable

man, my answer will content you, Ido not love you and will not wed you.’ This was xplicit. and tothe point. Hans

felt that he had no hope of snecess by fair means but he could not bring himeelf to thiuk of relinquishing the fair prize hefore tim. In his eyes she had never looked so beautiful to his avarice, her fortune never seemed so large. His very soul was agitated by the strength of his passions.

Co:serous of maintaining an iron rule over the thoughts and feelings of his tenants, and most of the inhabitants of the settlement ; aware that many of these wearing the sem- ‘lance of men, worshiped h’s wea'th, as God s chosen people once worshiped a golden calf, he could not eyiceive how it was that Viola Fordham e ald spurn hes loyve—could refuse to link her fate with his own.

Pour Hans, be tad yet many bitter lersons to learn before he could see and appreciate

This was the cause of atill grearer wonder. Guard an empty prison? Who ever beard of such an absurd proceeding? It was the heigbt of folly, and Hans Van Kempen was absolutely and devidedly insane,

Hang paid no heed to these remarks or to the sneers that accompanied them. He pro ceeded with his regulations, and entoreed them too, Before his obstinate determina- tion ali clamer ceased and nightly wae the tenantless prison guarded by a patrol of the luckless inhabitants.

‘Surely !’ exclaimed an old inhabitant, ‘innovation and fully can go no farther.’

Lie was mistaken, however.

The inbabitants one morning were aroused from their slumbers by the shrieks of a file and the thunders of a d:um. Peermg trom their windows, tiey discovered parading the streets, @ company of soldiers—of regular suldiers, wearing the uniform of the King.

Tory warched bo dly up to the Castie and | there they were prov ded lor by Hens Van Kempen

‘Verily,’ exclaimed Peter Schnappe rub- bing his eyes, and <tarmg im astonishment, ‘old thngs bave passed aw.y, and ail things have become new,’

Public notice was soon given, that the troops would remain ia the settlement to ob- tain reciuits, and to enforce the authority of Ilans Van Kempen, who had been appointed & maistrate.

Van K mpen’s castie was an important

lace,

Hans himself assomed a new character. He strutted immeasurably —hs talked pom pousiy, and iecued his various orders with the air of a man who had the world at hie command

Aud the Patroon had reasons of his own for this condact. He was determimed to «we Viola Fu. rdham—to display his power to ber, i> the vain hope that he might thereby win her love.

Poor fool! Hew little he knew of the road to a woman's alections. It was Ike sending messengers of peace upon cannon bails, bomb shells, and rockets
