THE RED CHANCELLOR. A ROMANCE, By SIR WILLIAM MAGNAY, Bart., Author of "The Heiress of the Season," "The Man-Trap," The Pride of Life," &c. CHAPTER XIX, The Fan. Count Farello came in with a bow, then advancing, bent low over the Baroness's hand. This is a. surprise. Count," she said, quite herself again. "We heard you were away from Buyda." I have been travelling, and am here only till to-morrow. But I could not pass through without paying my respects to the Baroness Fornba.ch." When he spoke the tightly-stretched lips drew away, leaving the abnormally white teeth bare. He was most polite, but not pretty. He then turned and bowed ceremoniously to me, apparently quite aware of my presence, although he had not seemed to look in my direction. You are still in Buyda, Mr. Tyrrell. We had an idea you had left u." For a time." I replied lightly. As becomes a wandering devotee of sport." Sport! And you leave England?" For change." All! like so many of your countrymen, you are hard to satisfy. You would rather go far and fare worse than stay at home. Well, enterprise at the possible expense of comfort is admirable. Dare one conclude that our city here temporarily pleaees you?" I looked at him sharply, uncertain whether his speech was mere polite small-talk or covert sarcasm. Not that I cared, except so far as it interested me to note the various phases of the man's character. The peculiar expres- sion of his face made a perfect mask, far harder to see through even than Rallen- stein's impassiveness. There was, perhaps, the gleam of a sneer in the eyes-those;, unruly tell-tales, ever ready to contradict. our words and betray ua. But I was not certain, and answered simply: Yes, I enjoyed a few weeks' eojourn in Buyda extremely. For the last week or two I have been staying a short way out in the country with a. friend." Count Furello bowed in acknowledgment, as it were, of a piece of information which did not interest him deeply enough for words. You have not come, then, from the Geier- thal, Count?" the Baroness inquired. No; I have been travelling. I hope to return home to-morrow." Travelling! On the devil's business, indeed. The Baroness turned to me. Count Furello has a most picturesque home, an ancient Monastery on an island, and in most lovely country." The teeth gleamed. Scarcely on an island, gnadigt Baronin. he objected deferentially, "although practically it is so. The moat surrounding the Monastery has overflowed and enlarged itself to such an extent that the building seems to stand on an island in the midst of a lake." "A very charming spot," the other lady observed. "Is it far from here?" I asked, affecting less interest than I felt. "About forty milas." I rose to take my leave. The Baroness gave me a little significant pressure of the hand, i which I understood and returned. "I should be charmed to show Herr Tyrrell the hospitality of the Geierthal, and to afford him a few days' sport," the Count said, a little stiffly and half-heartedly, it seemed, for the man of such exuberant politeness. "We shall have a fair amount of game; but, unfortu- nately, just now I am only at. home for a, day on the business of my estate. If Herr Tyrrell could honour me in perhaps a month or two's time, it would be all that I could wish." "I fear I shall have resumed my travels," I replied. "If I had been going to make a longer stay in your country, I should have been de- lighted." "I regret," said be, bowing again, "that my enforced absence from home deprives me of so great a pleasure." His manner was becoming almost oppres- sive; indeed, I was relieved when I had closed the door between us. Nothing else had passed between the Baroness and me; it was evident that she regarded the Count as an object of fear; indeed, it could hardly have been other- wise. Time had slipped away, and the summer evening was advanced when I turned towards my hotel. As it promised to be a fine moon- light night, 1. after some hesitation, deter- mined to dine at once and ride out afterwards to Schonval. While waiting for dinner, I got into conversation with mine host—a bustling, talkative fellow. I was not much in the humour for the chatter of the man in the street; still, it was rather a relief after the strain of the afternoon's critic-al fencing. Presently I asked him, the matter being uppermost in my mind, about the drowning of Fraulein vou Winterstcin, and whether the I body had been found. "Xo," he said, 'although they are searching the river for miles. But the task is not so easy, mein Herr. There are known to be great rocks in that part of the river's bed- the country is rocky there—and what so likely as that the poor lady, falling from that height, never rose again, but was swept by the strong current under one of those rocks, where she may lie till the Day of Judgment. Well, it is is a mystery we cannot un (Icrstand-the i chances of life and death. A greatly admired lady, mein Herr, young, beautiful, with a, long and happy life before her, as we might think, one hour, and in the next gone in a moment into Eternity, no trace left, as one might say, to show she had ever existed. It is a great enigma, mein Herr, and, if you please, your dinner is ready." The solution of the enigma which I thought I held wsts not calculated to add relish to the meal. I made a bad dinner; the bustle of the room only accentuating the contrast of the commonplace life with its sinister back- ground. I lighted a cigar, and ordered my horse to be brought round in ten minutes' time. Then. and only then, for other thoughts had been all-absorbing. I remembered the letter I had left with the Consul. "What a fool I a.m," I exclaimed. "In another minute I should have gone off and forgotten that, probably remembered it towards my journey's end, and had to ride back for fear of com- plications." So I sent word to have my horse kept in the stable against my return, and went off on foot to the Consul's. He seemed rather relieved to see me, or, perhaps, at not having to act on my instruc- tions. "You have called for your letter? I wondered how soon you would come back for it." He unlocked the drawer and gave it me. I dare say you are glad to get rid of it. Don't think me eccentric, only I fancied I might be going to nip, a certain riek this 1 afternoon, and the fact that word of my whereabouts had been left with you might have been a trump card to play." Turnonr gave me a look of comprehension. "Won't you stay and smoke a cigar with mer' "-No, thank you. I would, but am Tiding back to Schonval to-night." He looked surprised. "A long ride." "And a lovely night. I shall enjoy it. By the way, Tumour, do you know anything of Count Furello?" He looked curiously at me and laughed gently. "You are not riding with him?" "011. no. Why?" "Nothing. He is a naturalised German. His father was an impecunious Italian Count. who came to these parts fortune hunting, and married a native heiress; at least, so we've heard. He has an estate in the Geierthal." "Yes, I know. Anything more?" "Nothing, except that he is a great friend. some say"—he lowered his voice—"some say 4 creature, an ame damnee of Rallenstein's." "Ah! that's everything. I guessed as much He is rather a character," I said guardedly. "H'm! Yes. I don't presume to offer yon advice, but were I in your place, I should noti get too thick with il Conte." I nodded, thanked him, and went off. I have often wondered since at the reality of the fate or Providence which ordained that I should forget that letter till the la,A mina.te before my intended start. At the moment I was annoyed at having let it slip my memory, and so omitted to utilise in fetohing it the, time I wasted in waiting for dinner. And yet, had I done so. I should have missed the extra- ordinary series of adventures, and something more, which that chance forgetfulnesa threw in my way. For as I was retracing my steps from the Consul's house to my hotel, a most startling thing happened. It was now dark. The purely residential streets of the city were more or less depprted. and the houses closed for the night. I walked through a square and into a tree-lined street of old houses leading out of it in the direc- tion of the Konigstrasse. I hardly know what-made me stop, hesitata and cross the road at a particular point about midway up the street. My mind was busy with thoughts and plans, and my steps seem to have taken me across the road mechani. cally, without any definite design. But con, sidering the consequences of that trivial aci. I have always set it down to something stronger and more occult than mere chance. I remember casually noticing that the house towards which I crossed was lighted up, one of the first floor windows was open, and from it came the sound of a pianoforte. AI I reached the curb I was startled from my thoughts by an object which full v>ith ashary click upon the pavement at my feet. A small white fan. I picked it up and looked rouna. 'o one was near. Then up at the house before which) I was standing. There was nothing to be seen at the windows to indicate where the fan had dropped from; no shadow on the blinds, no movement to be seen within. Stepping back to look up, I noticed that one of the top win- dows was half-open, but there seemed no light in the room, and no sign of any one there. Then I looked at the fan in my hand. A plain but good one of white siitt with ivory ribs. Too good at least to admit the suggestion that it had been deliberately thrown away as worth. less. It had evidently been accidentally dropped out of the window, and I stood there momentarily expecting the door to open and a servant to come out and seek it. But no one came; so, after waiting awhile, I went up to the door and rang. Standing there ready to give in the fan with, a word of explanation, I began to open and shut it carelessly, as, when waiting, one will fidget with the thing nearest to one's hand. As in doing this, the light from above the door fell upon it, my casual glance was, arrested by something I had not noticed before. There was pencilled writing across the fan. As I turned and held it up closer to read the words, footsteps sounded within, and I had scarcely made out the purport of the writing when the door opened. Simultaneously by a quick movement I closed the fan and dropped my hand. so that it was hidden behind me. "DOfB Herr Steinmetz live h,re?" I stam- mered, using the first name that came to my tongue. "-No, mein Herr," the servant answered, a; dark, disagreeable-looking fellow, I thought. holding the door but a little way open and regarding me with manifest suspicion. "You do not know which is his number? -No? Thank you. I am sorry to have troubled you. Next moment the door was shut with a slam and I was walking away down the street. At the second lamp I stopped, then took out the fan to read the words more carefully. They were these, scribbled as though in haste; "I am in danger of my life. Help me. Astai von Winterstein."

I THE LOST BANK NOTE. A lawyer at a. circuit town' in Ireland dropped a Lio note under the table while playing cards at an inn He did not discover his loss until he was going to bed, but then returned immediately. On reaching the room he was met by the waiter, who said:—"I know what you want, sir; you have lost something." "Yes, I have lost a L10 note." "NVell sir, I have found it, and here it is." "Thanks, my good lad, here is a sovereign for you." "No. sir, I want no reward for being honest, but," looking ,t him with a knowing grin, "wasn't it lucky that none of the gentlemen found it?"

HATS OFF! Mr. Spurgeon on one occasion was much annoyed by three young men persisting in wearing their hats in the Tabernacle. He appeared for the time not to notice them, but proceeded to tell his audience of a visit he paid to a Jewish synagogue. "When I entered," he said, "I took off my hat, but was informed that the great mark of respect was to keep it on. I did so, though I can assure you that I felt very strange wearing my hat in a place of worship, and now. as I paid this mark of respect to the synagogue, may I ask those three Jews in the gallery to conform equally to our rules and kindly uncover their heads." The yonng men "collapsed."
