CHAPTER. XIV

On the morning of the day on which Dom
set out for London, young Redwood rose
early after sleepless night. In middle-age
slight anxiety may rob a man Of his SUM
bers, bnt 1t takes something serious to make
the night Of a wholesome lad of threeand-
twenty altogether feverish and unrestful. He
had counted the strokes of the village clock
as il struck the quarters and the hours. and
had faced a thousand phantoms before the
gray dawn glimmered on the window blind.
Before the day had well declared itself he
rose and dressed in stealthy quiet, fearing
to disturb his mother. and having foraged
for a glass Of milk and crust, took up his
gun, thrust a double handful Of cartridges
into his pocket and strolled toward the
Weybridge woods, less with intent against
the rabbits there than to give his mind a
chance OF clearing itself in the fresh air of
morning from the Vagabond fancies Of the
night.
For landowner. man Of exceptionally
old family and tory, Mr.. Weybridge had
one remarkable Characteristic. He was an
ardent opposer of the game laws, and stead
lastly refused TO preserve his shooting, and
ever since George had been OF an age to
carry a gun he had the freedom Of wood
and warren. So far as the rabbits were
concerned his license lasted all the year
round, and constant practice had made him
dead shot.
He had not walked far when the faithful
Sam appeared in sight, aud at
once attached himself to the young favor
tie as a matter of course. Sam was an
early riser by old habit, and always smoked
his first pipe in the open air, unless held
within doors by extreme stress of weather.
When the first greetings were over.
George showed himself indisposed to talk,
and Sam yielding obedience TO his mood,
they rambled on in silence. The rabbits
seemed unusually plentiful that morning,
but George threw away half a dozen
chances, and missed two or three easy
shots.
"Here, SAM" he said at length, handing
the gun to his companion. You'd better
try your hand. I'm no good this morning.
don't feel as If cared about it.n
Sam recalled his own sensations in early
courtsbip when 'Tilda had chosen 10 be too
coy or too exacting-too much disposed to
in one way or another to test the limits of
her power--and he came to the conclusion
that Miss Hetheridge had been ''playlng
up" with her sweetheart.

seemed turned against them, and, after they
had lost almost everything on their places, they
secured q few dollars and started on the long

assistance from charitable people who offered
red not to break their record, and would com
