(Continued from last week.)
"Aye, but when that's gone?" says I
'That's a good way hence, Kit, but
there never was such a man as you for
going forth to meet troubles half way.
However, I warrant I shall find some
jobs of carpentry to keep us from beg
ging our broad when the pinch comes. "
Not content to wait for this pinch, I
resolved I would go into the city and
inquire there if the booksellers could
give me any employment, thinking I
might very well write some good ser-
Jtpied her sitting by the window.
mons on honesty, now I had learned the
folly of roguery. Hearing of my purpose
the morning I was about to go, Moll
takes me aside and asks me in a quaver
ing voice if I knew where Mr. Godwin
might be found. This question stagger
ed me a moment, for her husbund's
name had not been spoken by any of us
since the catastrophe, and it came into
my mind now that she designed to re
turn to him, and I stammered out some
foolish hint at Hurst Court.
"No, he is not there," says he, "but
I thought maybe that Sir Peter Lely"
"Aye," says I. "He will most likely
know where Mr. Godwin may be found. ' '
"Can you tell me where Sir Peter
lives?"
"No, but I can learn easily when I
am in the city."
"If you can, 'write the address and
send him this, " says she, drawing a let
ter from her breast. She had writ her
husband's name on it, and now she
pressed her lips to it twice, and putting
the warm letter in my hand she turned
away, her poor mouth twitching with
emotion. I knew then that there was no
thought in her mind of seeing her hus
band again.
I carried the letter with me to the
city, wondering what was in it. I know
not now, yet I think it contained but a
few words of explanation and farewell,
with some prayer maybe that she might
be forgiven and forgotten.
Learning where Sir Peter Lely lived,
I myself went to his house, and he not
being at home I asked his servant If
Mr. Godwin did sometimes come there.
"Why, yes, sir, he was here but yes
terday," answers he. "Lideed never a
day passes but he calls to ask if any
one hath sought him. "
"In that case," says I, slipping a
piece in his ready hand and fetching
out Moll's letter, "you will give him
this when he conies nest. "
"That I will, sir, and without fail.
But if you would see him, sir, he bids
me say he is ever at his lodging in Hol
born from 5 in the evening to 8 in the
morning."
" 'Twill answer all ends if you give
him that letter. He is in good health, I
hope."
"Well, sir, ho is and he isn't, as you
may say," answers he, dropping into a
familiar, confidential tone after casting
his eye over me to be sure I was no great
person. "He ails nothing, to be sure,
for I hear he is ever afoot from morn
till even a-searching hither and thither,
but a more downhearted, rueful looking
gentleman for his age I never see.
'Twixt you and me, sir, I think he hath
lost his sweetheart, seeing I am charged,
with Sir Peter's permission, to follow
and not lose sight of any lady who may
chance to call here for him. "
I walked back to Greenwioh across
the fields, debating in my mind whether
I should tell Moll of her husband's dis
tress or not, so perplexed with conflict
ing arguments that I had come to no de
cision when I readied home.
Moll spying me coming, from her
window in the front of the house, met
me at the door in her cloak and hood
and begged I would take her a little
turn over the heath.
"What have you to tell me?" asks she,
pressing my arm as we walked on.
"I have given your letter to Sir Peter
Lely's servant, who promises to deliver
it faithfully to your husband. "
"WIL" says she, after a little pause
of silence, "that is not alL"
" You will be glad to know that he is
well in health, ' ' says L And then I stop
again, all hanging in a hedge for not
knowing whether it were wiser to speak
or hold my tongue.
"There is something else. I see it in
your face. Hide nothing from me, for
love's lake," says she piteously. Where
upon, my heart getting the better of my
head, which, to be sure, was no great
achievement. I told alias I have set it
down here.
"Mr dear, dear love I Mr darling
4 CO,
says she in the ena, ana tnen
she would have it told all over again,
with a thousand questions, to draw
forth more, and these being exhausted
she asks why I would have concealed so
much from her, and if I did fear she
would seek him.
"Nay, my dear, " says L " Tis t'othi
er way about For if your husband does
forgive you and yearns but to take you
back into his arms it would be an un
natural, cruel thing to keep you apart
Therefore, to confess the whole truth, I
did meditate going to him and showing
bow we, and not you, are to blame in
this matter, and then telling him where
he might find you, if on reflection be
felt that he could honestly hold you
guiltless, but ere I do that, as I see now,
I must know if you are willing to this
accommodation, for if you are not then
are our wounds all opened afresh to no
purpose but to retard their healing. "
She made no reply nor any comment
for a long time, nor did I seek to bias
her judgment by a single word, doubt
ing my wisdom. But I perceived by the
quivering of her arm within mine that
a terrible conflict 'twixt passion and
principle was convulsing every fiber of
her being. At the top of the hill above
Greenwich she stopped, and, throwing
back her hood, let the keen wind blow
upon her face as she gazed over the
gray flats beyond the river. And the air
seeming to give her strength and a clear
er perception she says presently:
"Accommodation!" And she repeats
this unlucky word of mine twice or
thrice, as if she liked it less each time.
"That means we shall agree to let by
gones be bygones and do our best to get
along together for the rest of our lives
as easily as we may. "
"That's it, my dear," says I cheer
fully.
"Hush up the past, continues she in
the same calculating tone. "Conceal it
from the world if possible. Invent some
new lie to deceive the curious, and hood
wink our decent friends. Chuckle at
our success and come in time" (here she
paused a moment) "to chat so lightly
of our past knavery that we could wish
we had gone further in the business. "
Then turning about to me she asks, "If
you were writing the story of my life
for a play, would you end it thus?"
My dear," says I, "a play's one
thing, real life's another, and believe
me, as far as my experience goes of real
life, the less heroics there are in it the
better parts are those for the actors in't ' '
She shook her head fiercely in the
wind, and, turning about with a brusque
vigor, cries: "Come on. I'll have no ac
commodation. And yet, " says she, stop
ping short after a couple of hasty steps
and with a fervent earnestness in her
voice, "and yet, if I could wipe out this
stain, if by any act I could redeem my
fault, God knows I'd do it, cost what
it might, to be honored once again by
my dear Dick." ' "
"This comes of living in a theater all
her life," thinks L And indeed in this,
as in other matters yet to be told, the
teaching of the stage was but too evi
dent.
CHAPTER XXXni.
Another week passed by, and then
Dawson, shortsighted as he was in his
selfishness, began to perceive that things
were not coming all right, as he had ex
pected. Once or twice when I went into
his shop I caught him sitting idle be
fore his lathe, with a most woebegone
look in his face.
"What's amiss, Jack?" asks I one day
when I found him thus.
He looked to see that the door was
shot, and then says he gloomily :
"She doesn't sing as she used to, Kit;
she doesn't laugh hearty. "
I hunched my shoulders.
"She doesn't play us any of her old
pranks," continues he. 'She doesn't say
one thing and go and do t'other the
next moment, as she used to da She's
too good."
What could I say to one who was fond
enough to think that the summer would
come back at his wish and last forever?
She s not the samo, Kit, he goes
on. "Jno, not by ao years, une would
gay she is older than I am, yet she's
scarce the age of woman. And I do see
she gets more pale and thin each day.
D'ye think she's fretting for him?" .
"Like enough, Jack," says L "What
would you? He's her husband, and 'tis
as if he was dead to her. She cannot be
maid again. 'Tis young to be a wid
ow and no hope of being wife ever
more." .
'God forgive me," says he, hanging
his head.
"We didit for the best," saysL "We
could not foresee this. ' '
It so happened that night that Moll
oould eat no supper, pleading for her
excuse that she felt sick.
"What is it, chuck?" says Jack, set-
tins down his knife and drawing his
chair beside Moll's.
"The vapors, I think," says she, with
a faint smile.
"Nay," says he, slipping his arm
about her waist and drawing her to
him. "My Moll hath no such modish
humors. 'Tis something else. I have
watoked ye, and do perceive yon eat
less and less. Tell us what ails you. "
"Well, dear," says she, "I do believe
'tis idleness is the root of my disorder. "
After this we sat silent awhile, look
ing into the embers ; then Jack, first to
give expression to his thoughts, says :
"I think you were never so happy in
vour life. Moll, as that time we were in
f-iUUi, li'H tun 1 leiuiiMi't trr Itfiiiijf
b i frj from care uiyself after we got
out of the bauds of that gentleman rob
ter. There's a sort of infections briht
ne in the sun, and the winds, blew
which way they may, do chase away
dull thoughts and dispose one to jollity.
Eh, sweetheart? Why, we met never a
tattered vagabond on the road but he
was hallooing of ditties, and a kinder,
more hospitable set of people never
lived. With a couple of rials in your
pocket you feel as rich and independent
as with 100 in your hand elsewhere."
At this point Moll, who had hitherto
listened in apathy to these eulogies, sud
denly pushing back her chair, looks at
us with a strange look in her eyes, and
says under her breath, "Elche!"
"Barcelony for my money," responds
Dawson, whose memories of Elche were
not so cheerful as of those parts where
we had led a more vagabond life.
"Elche!" repeats MolL twining her
fingers, and with a smile gleaming iu
her eyes.
"Does it please you, chuck, to talk of
these matters?"
"Yes, yes!" returns she eagerly.
"You know not the joy it gives me. "
" 'Twas near about this time of the
year that we started on our travels,"
said I.
"Aye, I recollect 'twas mighty cold
when we set sail, and the fruit trees
were all bursting into bloom when we
came into France. I would we were
there now; eh, Moll?"
"What, dear?" asks she, rousing her
self at this direct question.
"I say, what would you give to be
back there now, child?"
"Oh, will you take me there if I
would go?"
".With all my heart, dear MolL Is
there anything in the world I'd not do
to make you happy?"
She took his hand upon her knee, and
caressing it says :
"Let us go soon, father."
"What ! Will you be dancing of fan
dangoes again?" asks he, and she nods
for reply, though I believe her thoughts,
had wandered again to some other mat
ter. "I warrant I shall fall into the step
again the moment I smell garlic, but
I'll rehearse it an hour tomorrow morn
ing, that we may lose no time. Will
you have a short skirt and a waistcloth
again, Moll?"
She, with her elbows on her knees
now and her ehin in her hands, looking
into the fire, nodded.
"And you, Kit," continues he
"you'll get a guitar and play "tunes for
us, as I take it you will keep us com
pany still. "
"Yes, you' may count on me for
that," says I.
"We shan't have Don Sanchez to play
the tambour for us, but I wager I shall
beat it as well as he, though, seeing he
owes us more than we owe him, we
might in reason call upon him, and"
"No, no; only we three," says Moll.
"Aye, there's enough in all con
science, and seeing we know a bit of
the language we shall get on well
Moll, looking into the fire, nodded.
enough without him. I do long, Moll,
to see you a-flinging over my shoulder,
with your clappers going, your pretty
eyes and cheeks all aglow with pleasure
and a house full of senors and cabal
leros crying 'Holal' and casting their
handkerchiefs at your feet. "
Moll fetched a long, fluttering sigh,
and turning to her father says in an ab
surd way : " Yes, dear, yes. When shall
we go?" '
Then, falling to discussing particulars,
Dawson, clasping his hands upon his
stcanach, asked with a' long face if at
this season we were likely to fall in
with the equinoxes on our voyage, and
also if we could not hit some point of
Spain so as to avoid crossing the Pyre
nees mountains and the possibility of
falling again into the hands of brigands.
To which I replied that, knowing noth
ing of the northern part of Spain and
its people, we stood a chance of finding
a rude climate, unsuitable to traveling
It this time of year, and an inhospitable
reception, and that, as our object was
to reach the south as quickly as possi
ble, it would be more to our advantage
to find a ship going through the straits
which would carry us as far as Alicante
or Valencia. And, Moll supporting my
argument very vigorously, Dawson gave
way with much less reluctance than I
expected at the outset But, indeed, the
good fellow seemed now ready to make
any sacrifice of himself so that he might
see his Moll joyous again.
When I entered his shop the next
morning, I found him with his coat off,
cutting capers, a wooden platter in his
hand for a tambourine and the sweat
pouring down his face.
"I am a couple of stone or so too
heavy for the boleros," gasps he, com
ing to a stand, "but I doubt not by the
time we land at Alicante there'll not
be an ounce too much of me. "
j Learning that a convoy for the Le-.
, vant was about to set sail with the next
j favorable wind from Chatham, we took
j horse and rode there that afternoon,
and by great good luck we found the
Faithful Friend, a good ship bound for
Genoa in Italy. Whereof Mr. Dixon, the
master, having intent to enter andvict
ual at Alicante, undertook to carry us
there for 10 a head, so being we could
get all aboard by the next evening at
sundown.
Here was short grace, to be sure, but
we did so dispatch our affairs that we
were ernburkeJ m tiue time, and by day
break the following morning were under
weigh.

DEFEND HUNTINGTON.
Senators Fry and Vest Have Kind
Words for the Railroad Magnate.
WASnrsQTOK, May 13. The Califor
nia deep water harbor project was be
fore the Senate most of yesterday.but
was not completed. It is seldom that
a local improvement arouses so much
feeling among Senators, manifesting
itself in a debate of unusual anima
tion and of considerable personal
feelingr. Mr. Berry of Arkansas began
the debate, declaring that this pro
posed expenditure of 3.000,000 was
against the public interest and in the
private interest of C. P. Huntington
of the Southern Pacific. Senators
Vest ana Caffery took the ground
that no appropriation should be made
at present Mr. Frye. chairman of
the commerce committee, replied to
the strictures on the proposition and
vehemently characterized the criti
cisms of Mr. Huntington as "savoring
of the slogan of the sand lota"
Mr. Vest said he could not see the
necessity for this expenditure, either
at Santa Monica or San Pedro. He
took no stock, he said, in the attacks
on Mr. Huntington because he was a
railroad president and a rich man.
Like other men he looked after his
own interests. Mr. Vest believed Mr.
Huntington was sincere in saying
Santa Monica was the best point for a
harbor. The senator said He dropped
out of account all talk of monopolies
and lobbies, Any United States sen
ator who would permit a lobby to con
trol him was unworthy of a seat here,
said Mr. Vest He based his objection
on the fact that the country did not
have a full treasury, and the river and
harbor bill already reached an enor
mous aggregate.
Unfortunately, said Mr. Vest, Mr.
Huntington is a political factor in Cal
ifornia. Not even a town meeting
can be held there without asking if
this man is a Huntington man and
that man is an anti-Huntington man.
In view of the state of public feeling,
Mr. Vest said, he did not believe in
settling this question and making the
appropriation now.
