Hans Van Kempen, however, waa playing a deep and desperate game, and it did not meet his views to evrnece any haste in the matter. Indeed, he waited until the evening was somewhat advanced, before he sought bis consin’s apartment. At last he was seated in her presence. ‘I have come,’ he said, in a cold, calculat- ing tone, ‘to hear the doom of Bryan Bion day !” A sensation of faintness oppressed Viola, and she could not, at once reply. ‘Have you decided ?’ Hans asked. With a desperate effort, Viola answered. ‘Take the fortune, and my prayers for your welfare, but ask no more !’ ‘Woman,’ replied the Patroon; ‘ this is trifling, and unworthy of you.

The following morning saw Fozzle again upon the road, but this time, his joarney was westward, toward the province of Massachu- jsetts. He seemed to have some important visit in view,

At last he arrived at Montague, a small and insivnifieant hamlet in the province mentioned above ; and be forthwith sought accommodation at a little inn, the only one the place afforded.

It was late in the day nearly night, whe, the attorney arrived. His first care, there fore, was for himself and hie trasty beast,and after he had partaken of supper, ample if it was not delicate. he repaired to the bar-room and, commenced a conversation with the land!ord.

* Have you resided here for a long time ?’ he as‘:ed.

‘Since my boyhood.’ was the reply.

‘Then you must be well acquainted with the inhabitants hereabouts ?’

* Intimately.’

‘Do you know any one of the name of Bellamy 7’

‘ Several.’

‘Une Samuel I refer to.*

‘I know him well.’

‘ Does he reside far from here !’

‘Some two miles apon the plains.’

* Has he 6 sister?’

* Several of them.’

* Do any of them reside with him ?’

‘One,’

* Wii) you tell ma her name ?’

‘Susan.’

* Was she ever married ?°

‘Is her hashand dead ?’

‘That I cannot say. For some reason or other, her marriage di® not prove happy, and she returned to her home; a few months afterwarde, she went away for a short tima, but returned again. Since that time she has res:ded with her brother.’

‘ Do you koow ber husband's name ?’

‘ Never.’

A pleasant, and not a long walk, t him to the dwelliag, which was small, but neat and tidy in its external appearance, surrounded by cultivated fields, and other indications of moderate thrift. Without hesitation, Fozzle rapped at the door for ad- mission.

It was opened by a man considerably ad- vanced in years, and of an intelligent and benevolent countenance.

CHAPTER XI. FOZZLE'S JOURNEY.

During the stay of the attorney at Van Kempen's Castle he seemed to have no ap-

rent bet to have sought that region for re- axation from business.

Cnce or twice he visited Fans Van Kempen, gave him some insturctions with regard to his affairs examined some old manuscripts, and conversed ubout the country, and in short, completely established the i that he in- tended, at no distant day, to make tho settlement bis ot abode.

He was , unobtrusive, but particular in bis inquiries respecting the setttement and its inhabitants. This seemed natural enough in one who contemplated a residence there, and it excited no surprise, no remark. All his interrogatories were promptly ans-

jat a loss in what manner he should approach |

his business.

At length he asked:

* Have you a sister Susan?’

Bellamy soemed painfully surprised, but be replied i

‘T have.*

‘It is with her, more particularly, thot I would communicate. Is she at home ?’

* Bellamy’s painful hesitation seemed to — The attorney observed it and seid :

‘f can assure you that my business is im- portant, and not atall painfal.’

Bellamy seemed assured, and said :

‘1 will inform my sister of your desire.’

And he left the apartment.

* Now for the decision,’ thought Fozzle.

‘lam certain there is no mistake in the matter ”

‘ Bellamy was a long time absent—Indeed, nearly an hour elapsed before he returned.

Forzle’s pati*nes was painfully wearied, but at length he heard his approaching toot steps.— When he entered the room a tall and yet graceful woman, wae leaning on his arm

The moment the attorney beneld ber, he could not restrain his surprise, but cried :

‘Tam right !’

‘ Both Bellamy and his sister were eurpris. €

Fozsle hastened to apologize for his rude. ners.

The woman befure him was probably some fifty yeers o!d or thereahouts, though there were many visible traces of early grace and beauty, in both form and countenance. She was one of thoee persons upon whom time
