*â€" CHLAPTER XIII. Gunner-hays. in one of the most northerly of the northern counties of England. although it considers itself to be amnes- d“ no small importance. has not the good fortune to be situated on any of the great main lines of railway; consequently, to most people it has the air of being somewhat out of the world. Of late years, however. a branch line has found It out. and has thereby en- abled it to emerge from the state of semi-wrpor izn which it seemed des- tined to languish for ever. The branch line in question, of which Cummerhays is the terminus, is about twenty miles in length. and leaves the main line at Greenholm Station. About half way be- tween the two places, but about acou- ple of miles distant from the line it- self, are certain important collieries, to meet the requirements of which aseeâ€" ondaa'y branch has been constructed, which turns abruptly from the main branch at. a point dignified with the euphonious title of Cinder Pit Junc- tion. Here a signalman’e box has been fixed, a. wooden erection. standing about six feet above the ground. with an arrangemzant of levers inside it, for working the. points and signals in con- nection with the traffic to and from the collieries. At the time of which we write two men were stationed at the box in question, who came on duty turn and turn about. in each case a week of day-duty alternating withone of night-duty. The cottage of one of the signalmen was about half a mile from the box. on the road leading to the collieries; while that of his “mate " was about a quarter of a mile down the road in an opposite direction. Into this second cottage, which stood by itself in a lane a little removed from the high road, and having no habitation near it, we will venture, Asmodeusâ€"like, to take a peep on a. certain April evenâ€" ing. It was already dusk in the val- leys, although a soft rosy light still made beautiful the tops of the distant fells. ' g In half an hour James Maynard, the signalman, would (be due at his box to take his “spell ” of night-duty. His thick blue overcoat was hanging behind the door. ready to put on. his wife was washing up the crockery and Maynard himself was smoking a last after-tea pipe before leaving home. He was a wellâ€"built stalwart man, with a jet- black beard and moustache, and close- out hiii'r of the same color, to which his dark-blue eyes offered a somewhat striking contrast. He had been about three months in his present situation, and among the drivers and guards who worked the traffic between the junction and the collieries he had come to be known by the solu'iquelt of "Gentle- man Jim." It was not that he ever set himself up as being in anyway superior to or different from his mates; indeed, he was universally popular; but these grimy-faced mcn, who in their way are often keen observers of character, had an instinctive feeling, that although ne- cessity might have made him one of them to outward sceming, he was not so in reality. and that at some anter- lca‘ time his position in life. must have been widely diffcu‘ent from that which he now Occupied. But genial and good- natured though “Gentleman Jim" might be. he was a. man who brooked no questioning and no one thereabouts knew more about him than he chose to divulge of his own accord. Maynard and his wife had been chatâ€" ting pleasantly together. Suddenly the latter laid a hand on her husband's arm to bespeak his attention. “What is it?” he asked. " I heard nothing." " There was a noise of wheels a mo ment ago. and wow it has ceased. It Bounded as if some vehicle had stopped suddenly at the end of the lane. Do you remain in the background, dear, wlule 1 go and ascertain whether any one is there." She opened the door and went out quickly. There was still light in the valley to >00. objects a considerable dis- tance away. One side of the lane in which lln‘ cottage was built was bound- ed by a high bank. Up this .\l rs. May- nard now clanibered. assisted by tho bran-ch of a tree; she knew that from the (up of it she would see not only the Linc. but a considerable stretch of high road on either hand. After gaz- ing for a moment or two, she leaped lightly down and ran back to the cot- tage. " A carriage with two horses is standing at the minor of. the lane." she said to her. husband. " A lady has got oltl ol‘ it and is coming toward the cottage. andâ€"oh. my dcar~l'm nearly sure it‘s Lady l-‘anny Ilwyer." "Lady tun! “'ell. lslmll be very glad l0 see her.

Here it may be remarked that it was through the influence of Lady Fan's husband that Gerald Brooke ha‘d ob- tained his present situation as Signal- man at Cinder Pit Junction. The mode of life was of his own choosmg. He wanted something to do that would take him out of himself as much as possiblepand while not entirely isolat- ing him from his fellow-men. would not bring him into contact with too great a number of them. In this out-of-the way valley among the fells and moors. if anywhere. shelter and safety might surely be found. “0. my dear, my dear," cried Lady Fan, as she’dnied her eyes and look- ed round her. “ and has it really come to this, that this dreadful poky little hole of a place is your homeâ€"the only home that you havel" “ It is not a dreadful little hole by means. dear Lady Fann .". answer- ed Gerald with a smile. “ t 1.8 a sub- stantial well-built cottage of four roomsâ€"quite large enough for afam- ily without encumbrances. You don't know how shrug and comfortable we are in it. Economy of s is not half enou'gh considered in a small world like ours.” “ I am its,” retorted her ladyship; “ though how you contrive to do so under such circumstances is a mystery to me." ” \Ve have really and truly been very comfortable since we came here.” an- swered Clara. " I have conceived quite ishe did so. "I can't talk to either of any an affection fotr our little house, and‘ somehow,.I- hardly know why. I feel as if we were safer here than elsewher. Probably it is the {loneliness of the place that gives one this feeling of se- curity; and then the air that blows down from the moors is so pure and invigorating that both Gerald and I feel as if we were growing young again.” " Oh, of course you try to make the best of everythingâ€"it's just your ag- gravating way," returned Lady Fan. “ But if I were in your place. I should fret and fume and worry, and make myself and everybody about me as mis- erable as possmle. That would be my way.’ A "I don't believe it,” answered Ger- ald with a. laugh. ” You don't know how many unsuspected qualities you possess that go towards making a capital poor man's wife." Lady Fan shrugged her shoulders. ” And so you. Gerald Brooke. the ownâ€" er of Beechly Towers. are living here as a common railway signalman.” she said;- " finding your companions among alot of engine-drivers andâ€"shunters. don’t they call them rl--and grimy people of that kind. \Vhat is the wolrld coming 0 I, " My companions may be grimy, as you say; but I can assure your adyâ€" ship that, they are a very hard-work- ing, good-hearted. decently behaved set -of fellows, and that among them is more than one of whose friendship any man might be proud. ‘And I can further as- sure you, Lady Fanny, that I am quite satisfied with any mode of lifeâ€"for the present. and until brighter days return, if they ever will return. And that re- minds me that I have had no oppor- tunity of thanking Dwyer, for the trou- ble he must have been put to in pro- curing me my present situation. Is he here with you ‘2’ "Oh, dear no. His last letter was dated from Cairo; where his next will be dated from, goodness only knows." “ Well, I [hope you won’t forget to thank him for me when next you write.” " By the way, how did you succeed in finding us out ?" asked Clara. “ To tell you the truth. my. dear, one of my chief objects in acceptmg an in- vitation to Seaton Park was the ho e of seeing you and your good-for-no_t - ing Signalman. I knew you were livmg close by, but not exactly where. I al- so knew that you were passing under the name of Maynard. A('cordingly,'I set. my maid to work to make certain inquiries, telling her a white flb in_ or- der to stifle any curiosity she might feel in the matted; in fact, my dear Clara, 1 gave her to understand that before your marriage you had been in my service, and that l was desxrous of ascertaining how you‘ were getting on in life. It was the most likely tale I could think of. and I’ve no doubt it an- swered its purpose; anyhow, this morn- ing Simpkins brought me your address, and here I am." ” How it“brings back the memory of old times to see you and hear your voicel” said Clara. " It seems years since I left the Towers. although it is only a few short months ago. 1 am of- ten back there in m dreams.“ Lady Fan squeeze her friend's hand in silent sympatln'. Then she said: "By-the-by, what has become of darâ€" ling. quaint Miss Primby? I hope she is quite well ?" "She has go'ne to stay for atime with some friends in Devon. This place was too bleak for her during the win- ter months ; but now the spring is here, file will be back with us again. before ong." “ You talk as if you were likely to remain here. for ever and a day," anâ€" swered Lady Fun.

Lady Fan fumed and lost her temâ€" Der. and then rewvered it agam with equal facility, but in nowise shook Ger- ald from his purpose. The striking of the_hour startled them both. Eight o’clock and Sir \Villiams’ horses waiting for me all this time l" exclaim- ed Lady Fan. "And I'm a quarter of an hour? late." said Gerald to his wife. "Lucas will begin to think something has happened to me." Lady Fanny's last words to her friend were: "To-day is Tuesday. I'll come again on Thursday, when we Will have al good long talk together. by which time I hope that obstinate and wrong- headed husband of yours will have come to his senses.” Gerald Brooke had kissedhis wife and had gone off to his duty at the Signal- box, leaving her alone in the cot- tage. But not long would she be left in solitude. Margery. who had gone to Oveirbarrowl a village about two miles away, to purchase some grocer- ies would be back in a little while. But half an hour d after her husband's departure without bringing Margery, and Clara be an to grow ser- iously uneasy. {Never d she been so late before. When the clock struck nine and still the girl had not come. Clara could contain herself no longer. Put- ting on her bonnet and shawl and look- ing the door, she hurried down the lane, and_turning into the highâ€"road in adiâ€" rection op osite that which led to the railway, 5 went quickly forward along the way by which she knew Mairâ€" g-ery must come. The night was' dark and moonless, but the stars shone clear- ly. and by their faint light Clara could just discern the black outlines of the hedge which bounded the road, and thereby keep herself to the line of narrowj turf-bordered footway which ran by its side. She had not gone more than a quarter of a mile when her heart gave athtrob of relief. She heard foot- steps advancing towards her. and her true ear recognized them as those of Margery, even while the latter was some distance away. " Is that you, Margery l” she called, so that the girl might not be startled by coming sud- denly upon her in the dark. 'A mo- ment later they had met. Margery had I been hurrying home at such a. rate as "to be nearly breathless. ” O, mum, he’s here] I’ve seen him, and heard him speak,” were the girl’s first Incoherent words. ” Who 15 it that you have seen and heard 2" ' " Muster C‘rofton, mumâ€"Master Ger- il's cousin, him as the Flrenchy tied up in his chair." "George Crofton iherel" murmured Clara, her heart seeming to turn to ice as she spoke. " Surely, surely, Mar- gery. you must be mistaken." "I only wish I" was, mistress." re- sponded the glirl, fervently; " but he only need speak for me to pick him out of a thousand men in the dark. Be- 51_des. I saw _his face with the cut in 1115 hp and his teeth showing through." For a. little while Clara was so daz- ed and overcome that she could neith- er speak nor act. In that first shock her mind had room for one thought 'the t'rack of her husband! No other purpose could have brought him to this out-of-the-wcrld place. Gerald must be warnedand at once; but first she must healr all that the girl had to tell. She had turned mechanically, and was now retracmg her way to the cottage. ” I suppose, Mr. Crofton. saw you at the same moment you saw him l’" she ‘and one only :‘ George Crofton was on ‘ said anxiously. "I saw him, but he never set eyes on me." . "How would that happen ?” "I'll tell you all about it. mum. I had got my groceries and had left the village, and was coming along pretty fast, 'ccs I mas a bit late, when just as 1 was getting near the end of a lane I hears tw‘o men coming along it talk- ing to one another. I was not 11bit a- feared; but still I thought I might as well keep out of their sight; so just before the' turned out of the lane, I slipped in o Lhe dzr'y ditch that runs allong the ledge-bottom and crouched dlown. They passed me without seeing me, still talking, and then I knowed at once that one of 'em was Muster Crof- ton. “ We are ’before our time," says he no the other one; "we shall have nearly an hour to wait." Then says the other: " Better be afore our time than after it.” Lefter going a. hit up the need. they cussed it. and passing through a stile, got into the fields. I making bold to skulk after 'em, first taking off my shoes so as they wouldn't hear me. On they went, I following, till they came to a hollow where there's a lot. of trees, and in the middle of the trees a little blouse that seems. as Well as I could make out. as if somebody had pulled it half to bits and then left off. When they were well inside, Ifol- lowed on tiptoe; and then I heard one of 'em strike amatch. and then lsaw a light through the broken shutter of a little window. Going up to the win- dow. I peeped in. Two lanterns had been lighted, and by the light of one of ’em I could see Muster Crofton's face quite plain. I chuldn’t make out much of what. they talked about. only that they were waiting for somebody. and once the other man said: " \Ve shall be quite time enough if we leave here by half- past ten." 'l'hen Muster Crofton, he swore. and said that he never could a- bear waiting.’ “Did you bear thc-zu mention your master’s name l" asked Clara anxiously. " N . mum, not once." Clara was puzzled. '11) her wifely fears it seemed impossible that Crof- ton's presence should not bode danger in her husband. ‘lt was almost incred- ible that he should be there unless he were on the track of Gerald. Yet. on the other hand. what could be the na- ture of the business which took him at that late. hour to a ruined cottage buried among trees! It almost looked as if he were concerned in eome dark and nefarious svheme of his own. Sud~ deuly a fresh thought struck her. and as it did. so she came to an abrupt halt. l “ .‘l'argeryfl' she S1ld.
