CHAPTER V.
ARMING FOR THE CONFLICT.

AEMING FOR THE CONFLICT.
1t was difficult to tell who was the most
confused. Allen Gray or the beautiful girl
before him.
Her dress and manner indicated culture
and refinement, and he felt that he must
apologize for his presence.
"I-I beg pardonp' he stammered, after
an awkward silence of few moments. 81
came for stroll to the bluff, not aware of
your presence. Ihope havo not annoyed
youln
There was an honest frankness in his
voice and manner, more reassuring than
his words A change from surprise and
terror to pleasure, as instantaneous as it
was remarkable, came over her taco.
"0h, don't blame yourself, SIR" she said,
in tones the sweetest that ever fell on NOR
tai ears. What delicious voice. how like
the chime of silver bell. Then as if not
altogether recovered from her surprise.
she stammered: "I-I was watching the
sunset"
ut is delightful view from here" said
Allen, recovering at once his self-posses-
sion. O. do not wonder that you came here
to witness it; l came for the same purpose,
but seeing you, and not wishing to disturb
you, remained in the background"
"You have lost much" answered the
beautiful girl, her angelic face wreathed
with smiles. 81 frequently come to this
bluff to visit the sunset, and the scenenever
grows old''
"No doubt, were near enough, would
do the same"
"You are the new editor at the village,
are you mott" she asked, with charming
childlike simplicity
az am; my name is Allen Gray, and am
editor and proprietor of the Western Repub-
lc You live in the stone house on the hill,
do you not9"
She started, death-like pallor swept
over her face, and in confused manner she
answered:
eyes, sir.n
1t was painfully evident that the stone
house on the hill was an unpleasant topic
to this young lady; therefore Allen deter
mined to avoid it. He began praising the
beauties Of the sunset sky, the grand old
forest and delightful flowers.
al found some things to-day in my ram
bles,n he at last said, sand may be you can
tell me who is the owner" he drew
from his pocket the glove and locket. "Do
you know whose these arel"
With glad smile upon her face she
came quickly to his side and said:
They are mine. Tho glove l lost this
morning; the locket was lost two weeks
I, ago. Where did you find theml"
He told her all about finding them, and
then, both having regained their equanimi.

as far as he could see. The gate was tall,
surmounted by high arch supported by
pillars of stone. All the nursery stories Of
enchanted castles which he had ever heard
or read came with wonderful freshness to
his memory. There was something so
grand and yet so weird in that imposing
pile reared as it seemed in the very heart
Of the wilderness, that Allen was inspired
with feeling Of awe, if not fear. For some
time he stood gazing at the vast building
Then he went little nearer, and from q
slight eminence could see fountains playing
on the lawn, while the gentle breeze came
to him laden with the fragrance of sweet
est flowers. Notwithstanding the grandeur
and beauty of the house and grounds, there
was something so weird and strange about
them that he felt strongly inclined to re-
treat.
ooh pshaw am getting almost as silly
and superstitious as the villagers" said
Allen to himself
After examining the front as well as he
could he decided to walk completely round
it. Those people might have good reasons
for living lives of seclusion, and he would
not question their rights. That they were
people Of refinement and taste the palatial
residence and fairy-like grounds were am
pie evidence. They might be even better
than represented. The people at the village
had doubtless misconstrued their conduct,
and given their neighbors on the hill worse
names than they deserved.
With these thoughts in his mind Allen
wandered around to the rear of the great
rnapcinn hnltad -.
closed about ten acres, and from what little
Allen could see of the grounds they seemed
in excellent order. The wall in the rear
was boards two inches thick and eight
feet high, and through the cracks the editor
had very good view of the garden.
A well-worn path leading from the garden
gate to the river bluff fourth of mile
away attracted Aliens attention, and.
wearied with gazing at the house, he
thought to go to the bluff and watch the
sunset.
He had almost reached the great Cliff
when he came to o sudden halt and stood
transfxed with amazement. There, stand
ing on a grass plot, gazing across the dark
river beneath, was beautiful girl about
eighteen years of age. She was very pref
ty, with large blue eyes, a wealth of golden
hair and form which might have been the
envy of a sculptor.
Her eyes were fixed upon the river, and
she was not yet aware of his presence. AS
the rays of the setting sun fell upon this
angelic being, Allen thought he had never
seen one so lovely. That she was an inmate
of this wonderful house seemed to give an
additional charm to her beauty, and he
found his heart beating with hitherto un-
known emotion.
At last the sun dipped behind the tree
tops across the river, and, heaving deep
sigh of regret, the young lady turned to re-
trace her steps homeward, when she dis
covered handsome young stranger stand
ing in her path.
