"V\'o came to our Inn. I leaped from my
horse and forestalled tbo bustling host lu
opening the coach door. The loons of towns-
wives lined the
n en and their gosslplns
approach on either side. Nell spiang out ,
merry , radiant , unashamed. She laughed
In my face as alio ran past mo amid the
plaudits ; slo\ly ( Barbara followed. With a
low bow , 1 offered my arm. Alas , there rose
a murmur ot questions concerning her Who
ivas he that , although plainly attired , bore
himself so proudlj ? Was ho some great
lord , traveling unknown , and was tlio lady
well , the conjectures may 'bo guessed , and
Mistress Qulnton heard them Her pride
broke fora , moment , and I feared she would
weep Then she drew herself up and walked
slowly by with a haughty air and a calm
face. FO that the murmured questions fell to
si euce Perhaps I also had my share In the
charge , for I walked after her , wearing a
fierce scowl , thieatenlng with my eyes , and
1m Ing my hand on the hilt of my sword
The host , elate with the honor of Nell's
coming , was eager to offer us accommodation
liarbara addressed not a word either to N'ell
or to me , but followed a maid to the chamber
allotted to her. Nell was In no such haste

AND AMUSEMENT.
to hide herself from view. She crloj for
eupncr and was led to a room on the first
floor that overlooked the street. She thrp-w
tha window open and exchanged more greet
ings and banter with 1ier admirers below.
1 lluug my hat on the table and sat moodily
In a chair il'ood was brought , and Nell ,
turning at last from her entertainment , flow
to partake of It with merry eagerness.
"Hut docan't 'Mistress ' Qulnton sup with
us ! " she said.
Mistress Qulnton , It sccnip'4. had no
appetite for a meal , wau shut close lu her
own Umnvber , and refused all service , Nell
Uughed and bade mo fall to , 1 obojcd , be
ing hungry In sptto of my discomfort.
I was rusoluto not to quarrel with her. She
had shown mo great fi-lundllnoa ; nay , and I
huil a fondness for her , such as 1 defy un >
man ( man , I tmy , not woman ) to have t < s-
capeJ , Hut she had tried me aoicly , and
while wo alo'blio piled mo with now chal
lenges and fresh Incitements to anger. I
held my temper well In bounds , and when I
VKB satisfied rose with a bow , saying that I
would go and Inquire It I could bo of any
old to Mlstnus Qulnton ,
"SUo won't show herself to you , " cried
Nell , mockingly.
"Sho will , If you're not with me , " I re
torted.
"Mako the trial ) llehold , I'm firmly seated
licrcl"
A maid carried my message whllo I paced
the corridor ; the lady's compliments returned
to me , but , thanks to tbo attention of the
JioMt. she bed need ot nothing , I sent again ,
t > i ) ing that T dcwlrcd to epeak with her con
cerning our JournuJ- . The lady's excuses re
turned to me ; she bad u headache and had
sought her bed ; she must pray mo to defer
my bualnecs till tbo morrow , and wished
Mistress fiwjn and mo good-night. The.
maid tripped off amlllng.
" 1'luguo on her ! " I cried , angrily nnd
loudly. A laugh greeted the exclamation ,
ud I turned to ECO Nell standing lu the door ,
way ot the room whore wo had aupped ,
"I know. I know , " ahe cried , reveling In
Jier triumph , her ryca dancing vvltli delight.
"Poor Simon. Alas , poor Simon , you know
llttlo of womuu. Uut coiuo , you're a brave
lad , and I'll comfort you Dcsldes. > ou hnvi
given me a jeweled dagger Shall I lend 1
you again to plunge In jour heart , pee :
Simon ? "
"I don't understand jou. I have no neec
of a dagger. " I answered stiffly ; jet , fcclliif
a fool there In the passage , I followed hoi
Into th room.
"Your heart Is pierced already ? " she asked
"Ah , but your heart heals well. I'll spend m
ji'ty ' on jou "
There wes now n now tone In her volco
Her eyes itlll sparkled In mischievous ox
ullallon thai elio bad proved right , and ;
came nway eoro and baflled. But when sh <
flpoke < f Me healing of my heart , there wai
a'l echo of Mi'ness ; the hinting of some
smothercJ sorrow seemed to bo Btrugglltif
with her mirth. She wai a creature all co.n
pounded ot sudden changing moods. I die
net know when they were true , when felgnei
In poior to further some device. She
came near now aod beat over my chair , eaj-
Ing. gently :
"Alfia , I'm very wicked. I couldn't bclr
tlio folk encoring me. Slincn , surely It xvat
no fault ot mine. " .
" "You hid no ucsd. to look out of the win-
ilfiw ot the roach " said I , sternly.
niut I did tint wItOi never a thought. I
wanted the air. I "
"Nor ( o Jest and banter. It was mlgbtj
unseemly 1 swear"
"In truth , I was wrong to jest with them , "
said Nell remorsefully. "And vvithii
° lmco , my heart was nchlng with online
even whllo I jested. lAh , you don't know
the shame I feel1"
"In good truth , " I returned , "I believe
jou feel no shame at < ill. "
"You nio verj cruel to me , Simon. Ycl
it's io more 'iian ' my desert. Ah , If " she
sighed heavily. "It only Simon " she said ,
and her band was very near my 'fcnlr by
the back ot the chair ' "Uut that's past
prujliig , " she cnJcd , sighing again meat woe
fully. "Yet I Lave been of some fcervlco tc
jou. "
"I thank you for It mcst licartlly , " Bald I ,
still stiff and cold
"And I wes very wrong tcdij , Simon. II
was cri her accoutv . "
"What ? " I cried "Did Mistresa Qulntoc
bid jou put your head out and jest with the
fellows on tile pavement ? "
"Sho dli'J not bid me , but I did It because
< 3ho was there "
"I looked up at her. It was a tare Ihlrra
with her , bu phe would not meet my glance.
I looked down again.
"It was ever the same between Jicr and
me , " muimurc-d Nell. "A > c , so lexig ago-
even i-t Katchatcad "
"We're not In Hatchstead now , " said I ,
roughly.
"Naj , nor even in Chelsea. Tor even Ir
Chchea jou had a kindness for me "
"I eave much kindness for jou now. "
"Well , then jou had mere. "
, "It Is In jour knowledge why now I have
no more. "
"Yea , It's In inj' knowledge , " she cried
"Yet I carried Mistress Qulnton from Dover ! "
_ I ir.ide no answer to that. She sighed
"Ilelgho , " and , for a moment , there was
alienee Yet messages pass without words ,
and there are speechlccu mercuries that
entry tidings from heart to heart. Them the
air Is full of whisperings , and silence Is but
foil to a thousand sounds , which the soul
hears though the dull corporeal ear be deif.
Did she still amuse herseM , or was there
more ? Sometimes a'part , assumed In player
or malice , eo grows CQ the actor that he
cannot , even when he would , throw aside
his trappings and wash from his f.ico the
paint which was to show- the passion that
ho played. The thing takes hold , and will
not be thtovvn aside , It seeffis ito seek re
venge for the light assumption , and punlsh a
the btavado that feigned without feeling by
a feeling which ts not feint. She was now
fcr the moment if you will , but jet now , in
earnest. Some wave of recollection 01 fancj
rad come over her and transformed her Je t.
She stole round till her face- peeped into
mine In piteous , bewitching pleading , asking
a siin of fondness , bringing bick the past ,
raising the dead from my heart's scpulcber.
There was a throbbing ta my brain , jet I
had neeJ of a cool head. With a spring I
wa * on my feet.
"I'll go and aak If Mistress Barbara
fleece , " I stammered. "I fear she may not
ho well attended "
"You'll go agiln' Once scorned , youll go
igala. Simon ? Well , the maid will smile ;
thojll make a story of It among themselves
at theli supper In the kltclura. "
The laugh of a parcel of knaves nnd
wenchfa. Surely It Is a small thing ! But
men will face death smiling who run wry-
raced from such ridicule. I sank in my chair
agilp , But.ln truth did I desire to go ? The
dead ilae , or at least there U a voice thnt
speaks ifrom the tomb. A man. tarries to
listen. Well If he be mot lost In listening !
With a sigh Nell moved across the loom
and flung the window open. The lolterem
rtero gone , all was still , only the stars looked
la , only the sweet scent of tire night made
i new companion
"It's irlke a night at Hatehstead. " she
I'.hl'peied. "Up j-ou remember how wo
walked there together ? It smelt ne M
iinclis tonight. It's long ago ! She came
lulcklj- toward mo and asked , "Do jou
hate me now ? ' but did not wait for the
answer She threw herself In a chair near
me and fixed her cjes on me. It was stian c
to see her face , grave and wrung with aglta.
tlon. Yet she was Letter thus ; the new
timidity becarao her marvelously.
There was a great clock In the corner of
ho old paneled loom ; It ticked solemnly ,
ieemlng to keep time with the beating of
my heart. I had no desire to move , but sat
Iheio waiting , yet every nerve of my body
was astir. Now I watched her every move-
nent , toJk reckpnlng of cverj feature , seemed
road moie tfr'ju her outward visage nhowcd
md to gain knowledge of her heart. I knew
that sbo tempted me , and why ? I was not a
fool , to think that the loved me , hut she waj
set to conquer me , and with her there was
; ioilco that seamed hlili when the priie was
victory or a vvnlm'a fulfillment
1 would lave written none of this , but t'lat
It Is e part and icarrow ur my history that
without It the record of my llfu would go
'imping ' on ono leg.
She rose and came near ma again , Now she
laughed , yet still not lightly , but as though
jho hid a graver mood ,
"Come ; " said nho , "jou needn't fear to bo
: tvll to mo Mlstrchs Harbata Is not hero , "
The taunt was well conceived ; for the
most rxirt there Is no Incitement that moru
tvfrlps a man to any madness than to lay sclf-
ccntrol to the score of cuwardlce , and tell
lilui that bis acsuples are not hla own , but
norn bj command of another , and on pain of
lier dlsyUasure. Yet sometime ? wo'inn'fl
nmulng goes astray , and a name , used lu
mockery , spraks for Itself with stiong at-
-actlon , as though 4t held the chirm of her
it atuds for. The name , falling from Nell's
loutlng llpb , Imci power 10 raise In mo a
picture , and the picture fiirraJ , like a very
ftalntlng ilouo on canvas , & screen between
ro and the alluring oycs that caught mine
n provoking vvlkberj. She did not Know
lor word's work acid laughed again to see
iie grow jet more tuavo at Barbara's name.
"Tho stern mistress 1s away. " bha
, \hli ( > ert > il "May vvo not sport ? Tutt dos.1
a shut ! Why , Simon , you're dull. In truth ,
lOii'ro as dull as the king1 when his purse la
imply. "
I tailed my oycs to here ; the uad the
: liouglu , She tossed her nead , flinging t'.io
> rown curls buck ; her eyes twinkled merrily
uid she said In a soft whither , half
unothered In a rising laugh :
"Dut , Simon , the king also Is away. "
I owed nothing to the king and thought
willing ot the king. It was nc-t there I
ituck. Nay , and I did not stick on any score
> f conscience. Yet stick I did and gazed at
lor wltu a.umb store. She seemed to fall Into
i sudden rage , crying ;
"do to her , then , If you will , bill nhe won't
uvo you. Would jou UKo to know wnat she
ailed you today In the coach ? "
"I would hear nothing that was not ( or my
iara. "
"Atery pretty excuse , but In truth jou
ear to hear U. "
A IBB. the truth was oven an the said. I
uircd to hear It-
"But jou shall hear It. 'A Rood honc-it
fellow , " Phe sold , 'but somewhat forward for
his stitlon. ' So she eald , nnd leaned back
with halt-closed lid ? , You know the trick
these creat ladles have. Uy heaven , though ,
I think she wronged you. Kor I'll swear on
my Bible that you're not forward , Simon.
Well , I'm not Mistress Qulnton. "
"You arc not , " said I , sere nnd angry , and
wishing to wound her In rovcngo for the
blow she had dealt mo.
"Najjou'ro gruff with me for what she
said. It's n man's way ; I care not , Go nnd
elijli outside the door. She won't open It to
you , "
She drew near to mo ngaln , coaxing and
seeking to soften me.
" 1 look jour part , ' she whispered , "and
declared that jou were a fine gentleman.
Naj' , I told her how once I had come near to
well , I told nor many things that It should
please you to hear. But she < ? row mighty i
short vvltli me , and on the top came the folk
with their cheers. Hence , my lady Is In a
rage. "
'
Sh'o shrugged her shoulders. I eat there
Btillcn ; the scornful words were whirling
through my brain , "Somewhat forward for
hla station ! " It was a hard Judgment on |
ono who had striven to servo her. In what
had I shown presumption ? She kept kept
the truth for others and It came out when
mj' back was turned.
"Poor Simon , " sala Nell , softly. "Indeed ,
I wonder any ladj should speak so of jou.
It's on evil return for jour kindness to' '
her. "
Silence fell on us for nwhtlo. Nell was by
me , now. Her hand lasted lightly on my
shoulder , and , looking up , 1 saw her ejea on
my face In mingled penslveness and chal
lenge , i
"Indeed jou nro not forward , " BIO ruur-
niuied , with a llttlo laugh , and set ono hand
over her ejes
what to say to hfr I had rehearsed m. .
speech a hundred times , the moment for It
utterancefoujd ins dumb Yet the Impuls
I had felt was still on me , though It falle
to give mo words
"I thought It was jou. " she whispered
"Whjiare you there' Do jou want me ? '
Lame and halting , came mj answer.
"I was only pnnAig by on my way t
bed , " I stamvu'red "I'm sorry I rouse
jou. '
"I wasn't asleep , " said she. Then , afte
a pause , sho" added , "I I thought jou hn <
been there some time Good night. "
She bade me peed night , but jot seomcx
to wait for me to speak ; since 1 was stll
silent she asked , "Is jour coiniaulou gen
to bed ? "
"Some little while back. " eald I. The
lalsing my cjee to her face , I said , "Im
eorry that jou don't Bleep. "
"Alas , wo Loth ha o our Eonows , " sh
returned with a doletul smile. Again ther
was a pause.
"Good night , " said Barbara.
" (3ood ( night , " said I.
She drew back , the door closed , I vrn
alone again In the pae'sage.
Now If any man * nay * . It everj- man wh
reads my history , at this p"aco " ! close th
leaves on his thumb and call Simon Dale
fool , I will not complain of him ; but tt h
bo moved to fl'ng the book away ifor gooi
and all , not enduring more of such a too
as Simon Dale , why I will humbly ask hln

tongue-tied In her picsence ? And If he hath
what did he then ? I wager that , whil
calling himself a dolt with most heart
hcmcctj' , jet he set some of the blame o
her shoulders , crying that he would hav
spoken had she opened the way ; that It vva
her reticence , her distance , her coldness
which flare his eloquence , ; nnd that to atij
"IT'S AN EVIL , RETURN I jR YOUR KINUNDSS TO HER
I sat and. looked at her , jet though 1
seemed to look at her onlj- , the whole of the
room , with its furnishings , Is stamped clcai
and clean on my memory. Nell moved a llt
tlo away and stood facing me.
"It grows late , " said she , softlj"and we
must bo early on the road. I'll bid you
good-night and go to My betl. "
She came to me , holuc out her hand. ]
did not take It , but sue-drew it away and
moved toward the door. I rose and followed
her.
"I'll see jou safe on jour wajeald I in
a low voice. She met my ga/o for n momeat ,
but made no answer to my woids. Wo were
in the corridor now , and she led the vvaj ,
Once she tuined her head and again looked at
me. It was a iullen face she saw , but still 1
followed.
"Tread lightly , " BIO ! whispered. "Thore'fi
her door ; wo pass It , and she would not love
to know that jou escorted me. She scorns
jou herself and yet when another " T'le
sentence wenfUnended.
In n tumult of feeling still I followed. 1
WHS half mad with resentment against Bar
bara , swearing to mjself that her scorn was
nothing to mo. I shrank from nothing to
piovo to mj own mind the Ilo that my heart
would not receive.
"Tho door ! " whispered Nell , going deli
cately on her toes with uplifted forefinger.
I cannot tell why , but at the word I came
to a stand. Nell , looking over her shoulder
anl seeing mo stand , turned to front me
She smiled1 merrllj- , then fiowncd , then
smiled again with raised cjebrows. I stcod
there as though pinned to the spot. For now
I 'lad ' heard a sound from within. It came
vorj softly. There was a stir as of some
o.ie moving , then a line of some aoft. sad
song , falling In careless , halt conclousuesa ,
from saddened 1lps. The sound fell clear
cnu plain on my cars thojgh I paid na ho2d
to the words , and have them not In my
memory I think that In them n maid spoke
to her lover-who left her. but 1 am not suio
I listened The snatch died away and the
movement In the room ceased. All was still
osaln , ar. < l Nell's eyes were fixed en'mine.
I met them squarely and thus for a while
we Etond. Then tame the unspoken question ,
cried from the ejes that were on mine In
a thousand tones I could trace the play
of her face 'but dimly by the light of the
smoky lamp , but her eyes I secmcl to see
plain and clear. I hafl looked for bcorn
thc.ro , end , It might bo amusement I
seemed to see ( perhaps the Imperfect light
plajed tricks ) , besides lure and ralllory , ro-
pron.rb. sorrov , and , most Btrango of all , a
sort of envy. Then came a smllo. and ever
so lightly her finger moved In beckoning.
The bong came no more through the doted
tor , my ears were empty of It , but not my
heart. There It sounded still In Ita soft ,
pleading cadence. Poor maid whoae lover
Isft her ! Poor maid , poor maid ! I looked
full at Nell , but she -did not move. The lids
droppc-d over her eyes nnd their lights wont
cut. Sbo turned and malkoi slowlj and nlono
the conldor. I watched her going jet wist
fully I watched But I did not .follow , for the
snatch of song rose In my heart. There was
a door nt the end of the- passage , she opened
It and passed through. Tor a moment It
sttDil open , then a. hand stele back and
slowly diew It close. It was shut. The click
of the lock rang clear ana sharp through the
silent bouse ,
CMAPTIBU XX.
THE VICA'R'S ' PROPOSITION ,
I do not know how long I stood outside
the door there In the passage. After awhile
1 began to move softly to and fro , more than
one reaching the room w-hero I was to sleep ,
but returning again to my old post I was
loath to forsake U. A stranga deslro was on
mo I wlshcl that the door would open ,
nay , to open It mj-self , and by my presence
declare what < was nowsc _ > plain to inc. Butte
to her It would not have beoa plain , for now
I was alone In the passage , and there was
nothing to show the thing which had comate
to me 'there ' , and there at last hai left me.
Yet It seemed monstrous that she should not
Know , possible to tell her tonight , certain
that my shame-faced tongue would find no
words tomorrow. It was a thing that muEt
bo said whllo tr.o glow and Ulio charm of It
vvero still on me , or , It would find no tavlrg
The lamp had bujrnt down very low and
give forth a dim , fitful glare , hardly con
quering the ! arkics > 3. Now , again , I waa
standing still , lout in my struggle. I'rrn-
ently , with glad amazement , as though
there had como en unlooked-for answer to
mj prayer , I heard a light step vtlthln , Tfio.
footfalls aoemcd to hesitate ; then they came
agiln , the bolt of the door shot back , and
a crack of faint light showed. "Who.i
there. ' ' asked Barbara's voice , tremb lot ;
with alarm or some other aglutloa wlilcli
roide her tones quick and timid. I made
no answer. The door opened a little wlO-er.
t saw her face as she looked out , half-fear
ful , yet uuruly a'jga half-expectant Much
as I had deslrtd her earning. I would will'
lugly have escaped -now , lor I did vet kuov ,
other lady In the whole world ho oould have
poured forth words so full ot fire that the-
must have Inflamed i her to a passion like
to his own , and burnt down every banle
which parted hpr heart from his. There
fore at that moment he searched for accusa
tiona against her , and found a bitter-tasting
comfort In eveiy onense that she had ) giver
him , and nude treasure of anj scornfu
speech , rescu'og blirself from the extreme
of foolishness by such excuse as haishncsa
might afford. Now Earbara Qulaton had tolt
Mistrcsa Nell that I was foiward for my
station. "What rran could , what man would
lay bare his heart to a lady wi.o held bin
to be forward for his station ? "
These meditations took mo to my chamber
, w'.iithor I might better have gone an hou
j before , and labted me fully two hours after :
i had stretched myself upon the bed. Then
I slept heavllj. When I woke It was high
morning. I lay the.e a little while , thinking
i wlth mo pleasure en the Jcurney before me
'Then , having rMen and dressed hastllj1
made my way to the worn \vliere Nell and :
had talked tfoe night before. I did not know
In what mood I should find tier , but I deslrec
to bee her alone and beg her to come to some
truce with Mistress Quinton , lest our daj's
traveling should be over thorns. She was not
in the room when I came there. Looking
out ot the window I perceived the coach
! the donr. The host was giving an eye to the
'jorses and I tailed him. Ho ran In and n
moment later entered the room.
"At what hour are we to set out ? " I asked
"When jou will , " said he.
"Havo you no orders , then , from Mistress
Gvvju' "
"She left none with mo , sir. "
"Left none ? " I cried , amazed.
A smile carne ca his lips and his cj-es
twinkled.
"Now , I thought It , " said ho , with a
chuckle "You didn't know her purposed
She bis hired a post chaise and set out two
Viours ago. telling me that jou and the other
lidy would travel ns well without her and
tl it for her part sbo was weary of both of
jou. Bit sue left a meosago for yau. See , it
lies there on the table "
A ilttln oacKet was on the table I took It
up ; the Innkeeper's eye. ? were fixed c mo in
obvious curiosity and araustjmunt. I was not
minded to afford him more entertainment
than I need and bade him begone before I
c-pened the i.ackct. Ho withdrew reluctantly
T.icn I unfastened Nell's parcel. It con
tained 10 guineas wrapjod in white paper
and on the luslcle of the pnper was written
In a most laborious , awkward scrawl ( I fear
t'.io execution of it gave poor Nell much
pains"In ) i > ay for jour dagger. E. G. "
It was all of her hand that / had ever-seen.
The brief message seemed to opesk a sadness
In her. Perhaps I deluded myself. Her skill
with the pcu would not servo her far. She
had gone. That was the sum of It and I was
grieved that she had gone In this fashlcn.
With Uio piece oi' paper still In my hands
the guineas also still standing In a little
pile on the table , I turned to find Earham
Qulnton In the doorway or the room Hei
air was timid , as though nho weie not sure
of welcome , and something of the 'night's
embarrassment still hung about her. She
looked arouud ab though in Bt&cch for some
body. >
"I am alone here , " said I , answering her
glance-
"But she ? Mistress 11
"S'.ie's gone , " said I. "I haven't seen her

looked out "Yes , and my hc-rse Is there , and
her servant with his horse , "
"But why Is she gone ? Hasn't she left '

pointing to the -pile on the trible.
"Ard , no reason , for her going ? "
"Unless this bo onet" I answered , holding
out the piecs ofpiper. .
"I won't rosd It. " said Barbara.
"It sajs only , 'In pay for jour dagger.1"
"Then It gives no reason ? "
"Why , no , It gives none , " said I.
"It's very strange , " murmured Baibara.

Now > to me , when J pondered over the
matter , It did not ecem altogether stranse
Yet where lay the nee-d to tell Mistress Bar-
bars why It seemed not altogether Grange'
Indeed , I could not have told It easily , reo-
1ns that , look at it how you will , the thing
was not easy 'to net fcc' > hto Mlstrt-sa Bar

as a llguro for some wound that I had ,
dealt her.
"No doubt some business called her , "
said I rather lamely. "Sho has shown much
consideration In leaving her coach for us "
"And the money ? Shall jou use it ? "
"What choice have I ? "
Barbara's glance waa on the pile ot
guineas.I put out my hand , nook them up
and itowoil them In my purse. As I did thl

her llpa shut on unuttered words.
"As jou' will , " she said coldlj"Praj

no likelihood of such a trial now , alas ! Y < ? s ,
there was a pleasuto In It ; It was a battle ,
and , .by my faith , it was close drawn be

The chaise stopped at the manor gates ,
and I rode up to the door of it , cap in hand
Here was to be our parting.
"I think jou heartily , sir , " said Barbara
In a low voice , with a bow ot her head and
a qiiltlx glance that would not dwell on m >
sullen face.
"My happiaces has beca to servo you ,
madame , " I returned "I grieve only thai

"No , " said Barbara , and i > he said no moie
but rolled up the avenue In her chaise , leav

house.
I sat a few moments on my horse w itching
ner go. Then Avlth an oath I turned awaj ,
The sight of t'he gardener's cottage sent mj
thoughts whirling back to the old dajs vvhec
Cydarla came and caught my heap. In he :
butterfly net. It was juot there. In tin
meadow bythe a-vc-nue , thut I ( had kisscil
her A kiss is a th'.ug lightly given anJ
sometimes lightly taken. It was tha > . kiss
which Earbara hid BCCTI from the window ,
and great delate had arisen on It. Lightly
given , jet lead'ng on to much that I did not
320. Lightly taken , jet perhaps mo her to
some fancies that men would worker to find
iu 'Mistress Gvvyn.
"I'm heartily glad to be here , " I cried ,
loosing the vicar's hand and Hinging mjself
into the high armchair In the cfoltr.iacj cornet.
My mother received this exclairatlon as a
tribute ot mj filial affec"lon , the vicar treated
It as an evidence of fiicnds'ilp , my sister
Marj saw In It a thanksgiving for deliver
ance from the perils and teniptatlwia of
tendon and the court. Let them take it how
Lhey would. In trir h it was Inspired In none
oi these ways , but vas puiely an expression
of relief , first at having brought Mistress
Baitara sifo to the niai or , In the second
place at being quit of her socletj' .
"I am mlgbtj' curious to learn , Slincn , "
said the vicar , drawing hi * chair near mine
and laying his hand uppn my knee , "what
passed a. Dover. Per It seemed to me
: hat there , if oiti any p'ace in the world , the
prophesy ot Betty Nairoth spoke concerning
fOU - "
"Youi shall kno.v all In good time , sir , " I
cried , impatiently.
"ShouU find its fulfillment , " ended the
vicar , placldlj.
'Hroc net finished with Uat folly jet ? "
asked , my me" " her.
"Simon must tell us that , " smiled the
Icar.
' In good tlmi In good time , " I cried
igaln "But Uil me .first , when did my
ord como heie frcm Londco ? "
"Wtoy a week ago. My ludy was sick and
ho phjslc'an ' piescrlbed the. air of the couu-
M for her. But my lord stayed four elujs
3nly and then was gone again "
I stai ed and sat uprlgnt In my seat.
"What , isn't ho heie now ? " I asked ,
"Why , Simon , " said my good mother , with
i laugh , ' "wo looked to get news from jou ,
jid now wo , have news to give you. The
ilttif baa sent for my lord. I saw his mcs-
Mge. It V d most flattcrlt.s and sp5ko of
omo urgent and great business on which 1bo
dng desired my lord's Immediate presence
and counsel. So he set out two dajs ago
o Join tha klnjj with a largo train of serv
ants , leaving ihehlnd my lady , who was too
Ick to travel. "
I was surprised at these tidings and fell
nto deep consideration. What need had the
Ing of my lord's ' counsel , anil so suddenly ?
Vhat had been done at Dover would not bo
pened to Lord Qulnton's ears. Was ho sum-
noned as a lord of counsel or as his
aughter's father ? For by now the king
lUbt l.noiv certain matters respecting nii
ord'a daughter and a humble gentleman -who
oj stilvcii to serve her ns far as his
tiuion enabled him and without tinduo for-
ardness Wo might well have passed my
nrd's coach on the road and not remarked
t among the many that met us as we drew
ear to London In the evening , I had not
bscived his llveiles , but that went for noth-
ig , I lock heed of Jlttlu on that journey
avc the bearing of Mlstresb Jiatbara. Where
ay the meaning of mj lo.d's summons ? It
amo into my mind that 'M ' do Perrencourt
ad sent messengers from Calais , and that
10 king might bo seeking to fulfill In an- ,
; her way -the bargain whoso accomplishment i
had thwaitcd. The thought was now life |
o me. If my 'work wore not finished I
loke off , the vicar's hand was on niy knee
train.
"Touching the prophecy " ho * ogan.
"Indeed , sir. In good time jou shall know
II. U U fulfilled , "
"Fulfilled ! " he cried rapturouslj"Then ,
Imoii fortune bmfles ? "
"Nay. " I retorted , "nho frowns most

To swear Is a sin , ito swear before ladles

ergyman ia worst of all , Yot. white my
lothcr and my bister drew away In offenbo
and , I hi'ii'by tender them an apology nevet

"A plague on such prophecies , " said I
ourly.
"Yea It It bo fulfilled , " ho murmured. For
e Lold more by that than by any good
ortuno of mine , mo he loved , but his maglo
