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.

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.

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.
