This question he asked himself a thousand tims. * Wi!) she moet me?’ And he would watch the sun. and exclaim sgainst the tardiness of his movements. He was restless, irritable and dissontented He moved from place to place without an abject, but no sovner had he giined a posi- tion, than he desired another. No situation is perhaps so anpleasant as an ardent lover waiting for an interview with the idol of his heart: The sun eventually declined westward. With eager steps Bryan bounded from the little lawo,and hastened toward the northern wall of the custle fence. As svon as he could discover the gate, he saw that a red cloth was fluttering from a post. He clasped his hands, and exclaimed: ‘She will meet me.’ This was a delightfal relief to his excited feelings. ‘Sho will most me, and [ am heppy.’ And he returned to bis home, to await the further dght of teme, in the solitude of his own chamber. Bis bead was 69 full of re joreing that he could not tolerate 80 ‘iety. Seated at the little table by his bedside, he amused himself, and whiled away his time in examining the little keepsakes that Viola bed given him, ang in re reading her billets, which he bad already perased a thousand times. Afrer all, he was able to discover new beaut: in both the language and caizo- graphy Svon after Bryan had quitted the north wall, Hans Van Kempen emerged from the *Yis, I hace preserved it, though for the matter of that it has been but little in service lately.

The heart of the Patroon was agitated by several passions. He was a tittle sud, some- what angry,and immensely jealous, Lis eye canzht the red cloth. « What the devil does this mean,’ cried he, gazing at it, It perplexed him sorely. Any little in- cident in the least mysterious, will aggravate a jealous man. ‘] see,’ he said after a little reflection ‘ Some d—d Whig has placed it there asa mark of contempt for the flag of Eagland. 1 have it, it is the work of that rascal, B:yan Blonday.’ Of course, let the mischief he what it may, a red one.’ said Bryan, ‘In this way 1 shall avoid suspense and uncertainty.’ © A good idea!’ cried Cart. * Twill do so.” And Bryan continued his walk towards the inn of Van Kempen’s castle, and Carl Knipper walked i¢igurely toward Van Kem pen’s maision A smile wreathed his ruddy ips. y Ah, my Ged,’ he muttered, reverently cloairg his eyes, and elevating his hands ;* il master, Hans, was a genteman like that gallant Bryan, it would be a pleasure to -erve him. Won't he make a husband for he proud Viola—proud and good. The keeper of the tavern bere epoken of, was another of Bryan's friends, Peter Schaapps, for that wes the publicans name, was perfectly independent of the Van Kem- pen imt-reet, for he wus the owner of the house and loty and, as was his pompous boast, owed no man a penny. Like Carl Knipper, he was a Dutchman honest, obliz- nz and careful, and sn the pursuance of his vo ation, was the pos-essor of a flourishing trade.

His mind was full of Viola Fordham, and the delights of h:s futire interview, and he pzid no atten- tion to his whereabouts until the voies of Peter Schnapps sounded in his ears, Then be turned and saw the publican standing in in the door of the inn. « Are you the man to pass your old friends | without a word, Bryan Blondaj,’ Peter eried. Thas addressed, Bryan shook of kis reverie, and said : ‘ Indeed, good Peter, I had forgotten my- elf. I hud iatended to visit you, but was wbout passing your door, so intent was I in thinking of other matters.’ * Well, come inthen. I have wished for you many a time theee few days past, for a strange gentleman hag mada a great many inquires about you—a very great many.’ ‘A strange gentleman?’ said Bryan ‘ Who could it be, Peter? 1 am sure that I am not known out of the settlement.’ + fe was an attorney,’ said Peter, ¢ a cari- ous man, indeed. He had been to visit the will of old Van Kempen !* ‘ Did you learn bis name ?” * Fozzie.’ ‘And what did be want of me?’ *‘ Come in, and then 1 will tell you all.’ Bryan entered the inn, and seated h mself Peter also took a chair, and when he had composed his lnmbs to brs liking he eaid ; «You eee, after the lawyer bad make old Abram’s will, he came down to my house, and stayed several days. He was the most inquisitive man I ever knew. Ue almost blinded me with questions. He wanted the history of every man in the pluce ad woman too. He gleaned all the particulars of Van Kempen’s marriage, and fioaily desiree a jealous man always attributes it to his rival. With very unamiablo feelings Hans Van Kempen took the cloth from the gate, and as he was rending it into innumerable shreds, he exclaimed : ‘Ab, that cursed Bryan Blonday! Would that [ could tear his heart in the s.me man- ner.’ After the siznal was demolished, the rage of the Patroon cooled, Le threw the frag- ments upon the ground, aud then pursued his walk. Hans indulged in a Jong reflection upon the banks of the river He resuived in his mind a handred plans for the removal of his rival but none of them seemed likely to effect his purposes “Curse him,’ he exclaimed, ‘buat for his handsome face, and buld addr-se, Vivla Ford. hac would be mine without an effurt. Aye, and eo would ber fortune.’ Hans turned togohome. As he approach ed the gate, he éaw the fragments of the signal upon the ground, and once more his thoughts reverted to it, and the manner in which he discovered it. +[t is mysterious,’ he mattered. ‘If any one had desired to insult me, they would have placed ths emblem where | would m-st likely discover it. This rag might have flus tered unobserved a hundred years, but for the mer-st acetdent.
