Did you get as far as names?" "Yes; I told her mine. Who is Hildegarde von Heideloff?" "Heideloff?" I was puzzled. My suspicions evaporated. "I can't say that I know any one by that name. Sure it was Heideloff?" "Do you mean to tell me," with blank astonishment, "that there is a petticoat on horseback in this duchy that you do not know?"

If they were only asleep at the frontier! He returned the document to his pocket, and as he did so his fingers came into contact with the purse he had picked up in the road that morning Hildegarde von Heideloff. What meant Fate in crossing her path with his? He had been perfectly contented in mind and heart before that first morning ride; and here he was, sighing like a furnace.

"Why, you are the last person I ever expected to see again. Indeed, you are only a fairy-story; there is, I find, no such person as Hildegarde von Heideloff." Clearly he was recovering. "I know it," candidly. "It was my mother's name, and I saw fit to use it." She really hoped he hadn't followed her. "You had no need to use it, or any name, for that matter.

Probably they would never meet again. And yet "I am Hildegarde von von Heideloff," giving her mother's name. He was too nice to frighten away. The hesitance over the "von" did not strike his usually keen ear. He was too intent on noting the variant expressions on her exquisite face. It was a pity she was dark. What a figure, and how proudly the head rested upon the slender but firm white throat!

"I don't know any woman by the name of Hildegarde von Heideloff; on my word of honor, Max, I don't." "Old Bauer, the blacksmith, knew her." Bauer? All my suspicions returned.

The volumes are all uniform, and were all really printed for the firm of Brockhaus.

There was not a man in France who had a more intimate knowledge of Gothic architecture than he; but, unfortunately, like Rickman in England and Heideloff in Germany, he was incapable of applying his knowledge. The consequence is that he has produced a facade which is disfiguring to the two grand towers between which it is planted.

The illustrations of the two chairs of German Gothic furniture formerly in some of the old castles, are good examples of their time, and are from drawings made on the spot by Prof. Heideloff.

She believed every word he said, but she wanted to know everything. "Very well; I see that I must tell you everything to get back into your good graces Fräulein von Heideloff."
