'' I am the girl of Yittana/' continued the Yoice ; '' if I hated you once, it was because I had given to another a wife's faith ; but now death has absolved me from the obligation, and I am thankful for the gift which yon g^ve me, and which I bear here in the midst of my heart Hasten, quickly — let us atone for lost time — I am ready to intoxicate myself with love." And the horrid figure extended her arms to attract him with allaring gestures. The Count started, horrified, and repulsed her wit...h all his remaining strength. But in vain ; for the figure, seizing him strongly by the waist, forced hun to lie down. Then she pressed him deliriously to her bosom, and with the handle of the dagger beat the ribs and breast of the Count, who groaned with new spasms, and then kissed and re-kissed him with lips dropping blood. In a short time the hands, breast, face, and hair of the Count were covered with it ; he could not hold his eyes or month open, without feeling a warm stream of it raining in, to blind and suffocate him.
