Lu the fringe of -Ure cloud there wna a star. A stile 4ad been fixed at the. turn- -mngofthe s-oaci. Lt haci ths-ee bas aud a step ta cross by. Ou elties- ide the. hecige grew thickiy, and there &ho two trees, 1k. guas-dians, gaunt in the. hors-id ligbt. So the. stile was picturesque. But it had its uses. Ou the fus-ties- aide there stretcbed a path acrosathe. meadow; it iead to tue oid bouse that bad stood among the. beecb trees for genes-ations. Fs-om the. stile you coiild see tb. tus-rets above the. tree tops. The. inhesitor of the naine of Dalryxnple, the squ.ire, Iived there. If you followed the s-oad, you couid also corne to the hall, and enter by the great gate. But the path. way was nearer by far. On the. aide of the. pathway, in the angle where it joineci the stile, there Iay a pond. In the. district there- aboutit waslooked upon as a place of ill onien, and back to a time out of mind the. children of Dairymple had passed it at nightfall with 8peedy steps alnd eyes asla.nt. 'Yet not to folk >earned in lore, but to the weirdness of the place itself, should you go for the reason. The trees grew close ta the. nas-gin and met overhead, save only the. centre, where the. banks were widest. If a stranger should take a stone and huri it ta that point h. would get in return a tarie so deep and resonant as well migbt make hum wonder. How the trunke creaked and wiiined, and the. wind wbistled in the. branches. Andi the shadows were black on tiie pond. A man was seated on the stile. Hia. back wu to the. road, and hie eyes were fixed upon the. tus-set tops above -tbe trees. H. had corne upon a jous-ney ; you could teit it f rom his boots. Hie was buugry ; you could tellit it rom hise.yes. Sucii a man, indeed, as on. wouid pass upon the. fuis-Lies side of the. sAd, and b. glad to get sid of towas-ds .vening. Wbat bangs ta feet on. vaguely catis "boots," with him it wus ecraps of leather. 7 And bow thin h. was! Tbs-ough tbe irente of bis garmnents there pe.ped out angles so sharp that the. coldest, if he saw theua, couid scas-cely withold bis Spity. At the pointe tiiey were laces-- ated by tiiom, but th. biood had con- geaied andi tay matted thickly witbý lte duel of travel. Hie. bands wes-e Uek cla.ws.

But the. man stopped him with another ques- tion. "And are they happy, those two " Il'Appy 7" Again the workrnan seem.d amazed at the question. "Why it's beautiful to see 'em. Aye, often and often when tbey passes 'i the rQad wi' the bairnas, agoing to church mebbe, or mebbe not, the missis she say's to me: 'Jim, it's a pîctur',' Bhe says, and 1 says to 'er, It is,' says 1, 'Appy?" A.nd the. workman smiled. But the man at the stile was silent. Fs-rn the heavens there shot a jagged strea.k of light. For a moment it lit up the faces of the two men ; then the das-kness had fallen like a pail. And the workrnan laid bis band on upan the. shoulder of the traveller. "Look 'es-e, stranger," h. said. "I1 don't know 'oo you be, or wbere yer came froni, or what yer doing 'es-e; but you seem a civil sort, and l'Il you tis : We're goin' to 'ave sncb a niglit as not many 'i these parts'li re- membes- the like on, and if ye've got a place to go to, don't wait no longer, but make ts-acks; and if you 'aven't, why corne yer ways along o' me." 'the stranger seerned moved ; but he replied:- 'lI1tbank you. You are vos-y kind. 1 have sheltes- f rom the storm. " As h. spoke bis eyea strain- edacross the stile. So the laborer passed on bis way. Andi th. storîn gathereci. Thundes-ous clouds loom- ed densely overhead. The ais- wa£ thick and preesed upon the. brow. A .great bird rose fromn the rushes at the *pond's verge and shrieked to a sus-er refuge. The. wind droppeci. Bat tbe man iingered. And over in the meadow,'on the pathway, there appeas-ed a liglit. k drew near, aud swung gentty to and fro. The ts-av- elles- saw it wau carrieti in the baud of a men walking. He was cleci in a coat that was iined with fus-, and his face wus saft and whbite. At the. stile h. saw the man. H. frownied and wouid have passed. But the qtranger the gnLlp.
