"What meanst thou, mother?” Hetty regarded her mother apprensivéiy. “I mean, Henrietta Taunston, that thy cousin is a witch, a woman in con- nivance with the devil to invoke harm to God loving people, and that she hath been prodaimed so to be by the peo- ple.“ the woman replied, With a stern- ness that did not quite cover up a cer- tain ghmting in her manner. “To thy knew girl and pray for God’s 8000 influence to overcome the evil to which thou hast been exposed today.” Unconvinced, trembling and wonder- ing, the little Puritan sank down upon her knees before a wooden chair and covered up her face with her hands. “Thou passed her on the road an’ she looked long at thee with her evil eyes?“ cried the dame in great conster- nation. “No wonder I find thee With pale face and pining.

She stopped to have speech with me; but. remembering thy strict injunctions not to speak to her, I turned my face and passed by hurriedly.

Then he rode on, possibly a trifle faster, without even a backward glance. For a moment she stood speechless with surprise; then as an understand- ing of his meaning came to her she drew a sharp breath and tossed her head angrily. "Now I will marry my French cour- tier when he doth come!" she exclaim- ed hotly. “A common farming man need ne’er take such a high band with me. He hung so much about me in the latter months and I was e’er so friendly with him that I thought ’twas only decent to offer him a greeting. But” with a shrug of her shoulders, “i‘ll ha’ done with him now, and-â€" mayhapâ€"when I’m gone from him to France forever"â€"-W1th a little tremble in her voiceâ€"“he'll regret his cold looks an‘ ugly manners.” Pouting her lips, she took a seat upon the bench at the door and soon grew so absorbed in her plans to wreak venge- ance on poor Kempster that she did not hear the firm, quiet step of her mother nor was she conscious of her ap- proach until the harsh voice fell sharp- ly on her ears. regarded 1 face cold]?- my threshold into a darkened house? Once thou wert of some use and handy at thy work, but of late, prithee, ’tis naught but dreams and sighs! And thy pale face and absent mind doth faifly madden me.” Hetty, who had risen at the first words, now hastily entered the house. followed by her mother, still scolding. She lighted the candles and hung the kettle on the hob. saying as she did so: customed for 50 many mourns. un, why had she not put the pink blossom in her hair that he admired so much! Betty was frightened, apprehensive. She wished he would stop, if any for one short moment, and, although the young woman had other ideas for ‘a ausband, she had admitted to herself more than once of late that for a com- mon everyday friend Simon did very well. that she missed him and that her heart was a little sore at his treat- ment of her since she refused to mar- ry him. Kempster reached the gate. way. “A greeting, Simon.” The soft, fluttering voice fell on Kempster‘s ears strangely. He felt a tugging sensation in his breast, but. controlling himself by a strong effort, “Art pining again, foolish lass? Canst find naught to do but sit and think thy silly thoughts?” she asked sternly. “Where are the tallow dips, that they are not lighted?

With her light hair combed high upon her head and caught with a jeweled ornament, that flashed and sparkled under the moon’s rays, and her dress of white gauze, with fine threads of gold woven through its dainty meshes, clinging to her gracefully in soft folds, she re- sembled some goddess or queen of the night that the moonbeams had come to worship. After a time, her listening ear catching no sounds of approach- ing footsteps, she drew a sharp breath of impatience and, stepping down, pac- ed restlessly back and forth before the door. Elsbeth appeared at the window to draw in the lattice. “Hath on no wrap, bonny?” she asked solicitously. “Thy frock is thin, and methinks there is much coolness in the air tonight.” __ . ‘77nA, “v.â€" â€"v- At that moment Sir Godfrey La Fa- bienne, followed by his man Gaston, to whom he was giving some final in- structions, came out of the door of the Sign 01_ the Red Heart. Wearing a doublet made of purple velvet orna- mented with heavy silver trimmings, long silken hose of lavender and on his head a velvet hat with an ostrich feath- er sweeping over the brim, his gay ap- pearance was in direct contrast to his dull surroundings and the plain dress of the onlookers.

That night the full moon hung low and yellow over the mountain and sent its clear rays through the trees, whose branches, rustling with the soft sum- mer breeze, cast weird, quivering shadows on the ground. Hardly a rip- pie stirred on the brook, and but for the occasional hoot of an owl or the call of the whippoorwill no sound dis- turbed the peaceful quiet of the hour. The blood left Hetty’s heart. She groped about her blindly, then, with another wild shriek of horror, fell in a heap on the floor. Angrily and with rough jerks Josiah tried to lift her to her feet; then, seeing that she was really unconscious, he strode to the doorway, calling loudly: “Ho, mother!” She appeared at the window. “Doth want me, Josiah?” . “Aye, come at once an’ bring wa- ter, for Betty, weak. soft headed wench that she is, hath fallen in a swoon!” “Josiah!

Throwing back her hood, she raised her head with a sudden, swift motion, and there was an expres- sion of intense seriousness on her face. “Thy glance wicked!” he exclaimed passionately. “Thine eyes evil!

The mail train was nearly due, and the officials, fearing a serious dis- aster, requsitioned an engine, and with aimed police on board, set out in pur~ suit.
