His next movement was to begin a search for little Georgia, or Tessa, as he had chosen to name her. The task was one of peculiar diffi- culty. Nine years had passed since the pale London clerk had rescued the child from the cruel hands of the repulsive Mrs. Kiggs, and not a. trace or clue to his name or indentity could be found. He might have emi- 0n arriving in town, he rocecdcd to aquiet hotel at the Vest-end. which he had formerly patronized, and settled himself into agreeable qugltcrs. 1-1013; walked on, swinging his arms, over the roughYorkshire roads, passing now and then some pleasant country lane of which the December winds had stolen the bri htness and vcrdure. Three hours 0 steady ex- ertion brought him to Cottingham. It was then about ten o’clock, and Holm had no difficulty in finding an inn and securinga lodging for the night. ‘I‘D uu. The next morning he departed by the train fox London. back towards Cottingham. The wind still blew in strongly and with a salt odour from the sea. The air was heavy and moist, with a strange, penetrating chill, that made its way through all his rappings to the very bones of the traveller. The gloom was harelylight enough to permit Holm to see his way. In that portion of the road bordered on both sidw by the woods of Thom- hurst the darkness was almost im- penetrable; but». mile or two thr- tlrer on; where fields and meadows, separated from the highway by tall hedges. stretched on either hand, the dense gloom greatly laseued. 20, 187i ‘ No. indood,‘ said Todhetly. with anodxer laugh.
