10 the Author Of sad gu. True

0 thou broken-hearted poet,
Who doth mourn for ]. and l.,
With such melancholy wailing,
In such touching sad farewell,
"Am they went and did they gone,
And are thou left to grieve
And shed whole quarts Of bitter tears
And wipe 'em on thy sleeve!"
Ifmy friends would but permit me
Fain would I bestow, my dear,
On thee one huge, red bandanna
To wipe away the bitter tear.
Great poet, how pity thee
Neither tongue nor pen can tell,
Cause thout have no rides on horseback
Since have gone fair J. and L.
But why no horseback riding?
Sweetest poet, wilt thou tell?
Did they take the horses with them
When they went, fair ]. and II
Poet, surely it were cruel
Leaving thee to pine alone,
But how ve,y, very cruel
Leaving thee on foot to mourn.
Thou wailest in thine agony
''No more chasing of the bee"
Poor poet! and is even this
In thy grief denied to thee!
Where are the festive bumble-bees!
Have they each and all gone dead?
Mayhap after the lamented
They have spread their wings and fed.
Ifthou aOih pursue the chase,
And canst find no bumble-bee,
Poet, why not in its stead
Diligently chase The feaf
Thou wilt remember J. and L.
Thou say'st, and question comes to me,
Whilst thou'lt remember ]. and l..
Wilt. and L. remember theef

thought were the questions he had some
times, when staying at the Mill Farm
asked her regarding her step-father's
affairs, once in persistent way, finding
out whether it was always in the last
week of the month that he settled with
his work people. TWAS the night after
the money for this purpose was placed in
his desk that it was stolen.
From that time Mr. Butterworth kept
all his papers and any money that was
IN the house in his bedroom, using a sec
rotary on the top of an old-fashioned
chest of drawers. There he henceforth
made up his accounts and wrote his let
tiers, and the table by the bed there Law
now, along with the house keys, a pair
OF loaded pistols, while down stairs more
secure shutters and alarm bells were ar
ranged.
The autumn that year was very hot.
MIR. ButterWorth had large extent of
ground under wheat which was cut but
not stacked, when, on a glowing after
noon, the sky suddenly becoming cloudy
and the barometer indicating change,
MIR. ButterWorth came in, tired and over
heated, and, sitting down in the oak par
lor, said he was done up going about to
hurry up the men, and he asked Cicely
to get him drought of cider.
She was not long going for it, but on
her return her step-father had fallen back
in the chair he sat in, his face was pur-
pie, his breathing labored, and he was in
sensible.
A man was sent off with swift horse
to bring the nearest doctor, and mean
time Mr.. Butterworth was conveyed to
bed, and such simple means used for his
relief as those about him were acquaint-
ed with.
But his time was come, and though
during the night he regained partial
consciousness, and several times strove
to speak, it was but to sink into deeper
coma, and on the next day he died.
Except for the servants, Cicely was
utterly alone, nor were there any rela-
tives to come to her. If any such exist
ed, they we're distant, and utterly I'M
known. Her father was native of
Halifax, Nova Scotia, and her mother,
a native of Yorkshire, always spoke of
herself as the last other family
In this time of alright and loneliness
her chief friend and counsellor was Mr..
Evans, the rector of the parish, and by
his advice she acted. He was surprised
to find how little she knew of her step

tall IN with this, and after a time gave
Fearon a sum Of money, some good adj
vice, and counselled his return to Ans
tralia.
ltWas during the second winter after
George Stanford's departure, when one
night, Notwithstanding Mr.. Butteworth' S
adhesion to his custom of locking up ev-
cry place himself, and taking the KEYS to
his room, the house was robed the oak
parlor broken into, and his desk taken
away.
1t was large, but portable mahogany
desk, brass clamped and heavy, and in
It he always kept money for his current
expenditure, which, from the number of
people he employed, was sometimes con-
considerable.
Unable to pick the lock, the thieves
had carried off the desk and smashed it
probaly with crow-bar found lying
beside it among the trees hard by.
The money in it was gone, and also
numerous papers, among them various
securities for money lent and invested.
These, however, they made nothing by,
as prompt measuers were at once taken
regarding them.
Mr.. Butterworth was excessively an
|noyed about this affair. He was never
willing to talk Of it, but it seemed to vex
him more than it need of done, the actu-
al loss being between forty and fifty
pounds, certainly not an amount for a
man in his circumstances to brood over.
Some time after this, two months or so
on the high road just where the shady
lane leading to the Mill Farm turned off
a wealthy grazier, Eveson by name, was
dragged from his gig, and robbed ofmon-
ey, the produce Of cattle he sold that day.
Two men disguised, and with Grape
masks, effected this.
Mr.. Eveson reused the country to try
and find them; offered large reward
himself and got the county magistrates
to offer another. The neighborhood had
always been peaceable until now, and
they were not going to submit quietly to
the loss of its good name.
Somehow Fearon, Mr.. Butterworth s
granddaughter, was suspected in the mat
ter. His hauntS in the town were Known
to be low and bad, and ill-repute had
followed him from Sydneyr, where the
doings of a noted gang of bush-rangers
came to light about the time he sailed for

It opened into small hall with a kitch-

there we're two rooms.

The little girl in the mob cap, serge

milling and waiting for orders, and

That Cicely shouldb coming to Wer-
