Foulhayen, in the summer time, was

great farm where Mr.. Massey the elder
lived in almost ~patr.archal state, was

vicinity. The e was a kind of cons2rya-

with other causes. prevented it from de-
veloping into a large and fourishing
town. and allowed it to remain one of
the loveliest. s'eepieS:, quaintest places
that it is possible to imagine.
Three wears had rolled by since Philip
Massey had let mis- home and said good
be to his sister with the final %iniunc-
ton Look after Mabelle.' The three
wears had expired in April; it was now
August. and he had not retuiucd-was
not expected to return until late in the
autumn. Indeed, it was somewhat
doubtful whether he might come home
even then. In his few and rather mea-
ger letters he spoke of the possibility OF
another commission which might take
him to some other distant quarter of
the world. in order to reach which it
would not be ut all necessary to call at
F%oulhaven, or even to visit England.
Of course there were hopes and fears ut
home. long nos hat he would come,
and lamentations on the state of Gncer-
a:nty in which he left them. but a o n
yictiOn underlying all that he would 90
his own way, and that he knew, letter
than any one else, what was best for
himself.
One peaceful August afternoon every
one and everything at Red Lees APP
peared TO be taking a prolonged siest,.
There was silence in the farmyard,
silence in the sunny garden. except
where the bees were buzzing and hum
ming about the hives. silence in the
spacious old house itself, silence every
where. The wide entrance door stood
open, SO that one could see into the
sunny. square hall, with the black oak
table in the center, on which stood the
great blue china jar. full of gorgeous
roses. pink and white and crimson. and
the queen of them all. the yellow Gloire
de Dion. with its musky fragrance.
The hall was tagged, and in summer
the flags were innocent Of mating or
carpet. On n side were the polished
oaken stairs, with broad carved hand
rail and twisted sticks. The deep
w~ainscOting was of oak, too, and the
doors of the parlor thu same. A large,
ample, chintZ-cOvered sofa stood on one
side strewcd with books and a half
knitted stocking, in n midst of which
debris the blue Skye terrier, DIR. John

FAREWELL.

Philip went home to F%oulhaven. and
it seemed rs if the days absolute V flew
BY in the old home-the great old stone
farmhouse on the breezy down where
everything was so peaceful. SO quiet
and So h~omely-in such intense contrast
to the life he had Just left and to that
upon which he was about to enter.
This birthplace of his was a beauti-
full place. The ancient house stood on
the side of a down facing southwest,
sheltered by rising ground to the east,
where was the sea. Foulhaven was a
beautiful old town. and the sea a grand
one which washed the coast there. con-
tinually rolling its glorious surges up
to the loot of the great cliffs. From
the farm one might walk owe Mr..
Masses's fields, and the thymy downs
to the edge of the said ellis, and there,
away from sight or sound of human
habitation, watch the great green
rollers come sweeping UP, and burst
ing into long crested lines of snowy
breakers. One might see the smoke of
the graf steamers from Newcastle and
Hull blowing tEeir way. as it were, to
the hori ION line, while the heavens
above were blue. and the grass beneath
WAS green, and all the earth was
lovely.

OF what had befallen [ know not. He
