When Sir Hugh, who waa expected to return early in the afternoon, did not appear, it waa Bupposed that he had taken aholter somewhere on hia way. But, when the storm waa at its height, the Vicar of Easton was summoned to two of his parishiouera, sturdy lishermen, who, returning home umier tho shadow of the cliffs, h.ad found llie holy of a man, ipiite dead, and so distigured that it iraa *" impossible at lirat to recogni/u it. Past midnight though it waa, the clergyman at once accompania.i them to the inn where Sir Hugh Gl> nn and hia party had taken up their ijuartera a::d there the hapieaa man waa ri-cogui.isd by his clothea, by the ring on his linger, and by the rose on hij breast v.!iii:h lie had received 'from his wife's lin- gers, tiieaame morning.
