I » ,Long before this I had given up all hope of finding a shelter for Lilith un- ilcr'the roof of her father's cousin, and was ready .to take lny leave. I thought . it myvduty .to inform Mr. Saxon. before doing so. that Horatio .was dead. But my news only produced an angry dis- claimer against being made liable for lllS‘ funeral expenses or being consider- ed’in any way responsible for his daugh- ter's future, and I speedily quitted the shop. convinced that no there for my little orphan protege. , I-Ielrgrandfather, the clergyman. next occurred to lne as a possible protector. His name was Pritchard, and some few years ago he, had been a curate in 'Lon- don. Thus much I knew already, and I resolved to question Lilith further on the. subject after her father's "funeral. when Mrs. Nokes‘ vigilant guard over her would be to some extent relaked. My opportunity came after the short service at the church on the cliff. Only Mrs. Nokes and I and Lilith '{lllt’l a. few village boys and girls were present. The marshes Were veiled ill clouds of roll- ing white mist, so that we in the churchyard above seemed to float in an island over a moving sea. of vapor. Li- lith stood by lily side during the service, ‘and as they lowered the coffin into the ground she clung to lny arm. dry-eyed. but trembling. I put my hand upon her two hands clasped tightly over my arm, and as I did so I silently registered a vow to guard and protect her through- out my life. . It seemed as though by some magnetic thought transmission she divined this, for her trembling ceased, and she pre- sently looked up at me with so much tenderness, gratitude, and affection shining ill her eyes that tears sprang to lny own. The scene remains now as a strange- ly vivid picture on my mind. The gray stone walls of the square embattled church tower, streaked here and there \‘i’lth yellow lichen and brown velvety moss; the low. rank grass, and weather- beaten gravestones of the neglected churchyard into which the sheep wan- dered at will; the still branches of the dark pine-trees showing black against the mist that rolled up from the marsh; the bellt, white-haired clergyman read- ing those infinitely pathetic words. “Ashes to ashes. dust to dust;" stout, handsome Mrs. Nokes in tearsâ€"as she deewad it only right to weep at any funeralâ€"and the slim, yellow-haired girl in black. clinging to my arm with that touclrwliich even now 'I. seem to feel vi- brating through my whole body. and looking into my eyes with those blue ones of hers, surely the bluest and most beautiful ever seen away from a- prin- cess ill a fairy-tale. After the service I turned to Mrs. "Nukes, who was wiping her eyes with an elaborately embroidered pockethand- kerchiei’. “I want to speak to Lilithabout the future.” I said. and without waiting for any comment I led the girl out of the churchyard toward the Sandhythe road. The fact that I had paid the late Mr. Saxon's funeral expenses clearly gave me, ill the ‘opinion of the few person's present, a' prescriptive right to arrange with his daughter about~tllerfuture. As for Lilith, she seemed instinctively to turn to lne for guidance and protection With a 'docility and gentleness which touched me deeply; - ' ‘ V “But please, Mr. Hervey,". she whis- pered eagerly. "let us get off the high- road. and go down‘ toward the sea. -I haven’t been near the sea since last Satâ€" nrday, and I do want to hear the sound of it. Mayn't we take the lane toward "\Vest Sandllythe?”' “The marshes are thick with mist," I delnurred. . ' "But soon the mists will clear,” she urged. “The sun is trying to shine through them. Please, Mr. Hervey!" "I have so much to say to you. And down in the valley we shall not be able to see each other's faces." I said. ' "But you can hold my hand, which is Just as good.” She held it out to me as She spoke, and hand in hand We began: the steep descent down a narrow lane,-. with here and there a little tiled or ope'n-timbered cottage perched high on the steep banks which bordered the 'way. 'We could only see a few feet in front of us into. the white nebulous mass that seemed to roll away at our approach. The air was strangely still, the very song-birds twit- tered ‘nervously as though weighed down in spirit by the clammy mist, and, with the exception of a group of gipsy hawkers. haggling in their peculiar jar- gon by the wayside. a dusky, ill-kempt, raggedly picturesque group, we met no human-creature until we 'reached the level of the marsh. , Here. strange to say. our path lay clearer before us. A slight wind from the sea wasdrlving the vapors inland anti upward. Almost ill silence we cross- ed the bridge over the military -anal. and made our way to the coast by the winding road through the level land where once the sea had flowed. Over our heads a sea-bird was wheeling round, uttering a short. wailing note. the olle touch wanting to complete the mysterious’loneliness of the scene. ' At last a martello tower loomed vaguely befOre us through the lighten- ing haze. and to the left a long lilie of sand-dunes immediately facing a slim- mering thread of white, incoming tide. Lilith seated herself on the dry sand. dotted here and there by stunted reeds and gray thisties. and sheltered inland by the dunes. She made room for me beside her. and when I took the proffer- eded feat ‘she nestled tr my side and med 3m.- llllnd trustfully in mine. home existed A Wmhmom ‘amfi4maM-WWW mum.“ L‘J‘C-"E'Jfl‘fim‘ ‘m rm my. x» v;- ma-«x. mailman; vih“mu.W' iâ€"‘t assert."

I own I was considerably startled by the suggestion. But before I could speak she had broken into a torrent of words. ' "Because. though I’m not good at learning. I will try so hard to please you. | 1 know you will like me better when you have made me a ladyâ€"and I’d learn any- l'tlling so you would like me better. ‘ dear. dear Mr. Hervey." She slipped her arm round my neck andgave me a half-childish hug 01’ af- iectlon. Tllen_she sprang to her feet. and executed a littlepas soul of sheer joyousness on the firm sand just ill front of me. In' the middle she stopped. and hung her head ill sudden penitent re- membrance. ‘ ' “Poor-father!" she faltered. “I'd clean forgotten all about him.

She had' taken off her black- straw hat. and her yellow curls were blowmg loosely out around her face and shoulders. 1t was difficult to look at her -Wltl’l0ut kissing that little 'ctlrved roseâ€"red lnouth which smiled up at me so lllVltlngly. _ But I had schooled my- self to a certain line of conduct with re- lgard to my little ward. and I was re- solved not'to be tempted out of it. .One .tlllllg‘ I can’t promise you."
