CHAPTER III.
THOMAS TELLS HIS LOVE.

THOMAS TELLS HIS LOVE.
Having made the Spaniard as fast as 1
could, his arms being bound to the tree
behind him, and taking his sword with
me, began to run hard after Lily and
caught her not too soon, for in one more
minute she would have turned along the
road that runs to the watering and over
the bridge by the Park hill path to the
hall.
Hearing my footsteps she faced about to
greet me- or Tnther as though to see who
it was that followed her. There she stood
in the evening light, bough Of hawthorn
bloom in her hand and my heart beat yet
more wildly at the sight of her. Never
had she seemed fairer than rs she stood
thus in her white robe, a look Of amaze
upon her face and in her gray eyes that
was half real, half fcigncd, and with the
sunlight shifting on her auburn hair that
showed beneath her little bonnet. Lily
was no round checked country maid, with
few beauties save those Of health and
youth, but tall and shapely lady, who
had ripened carly to her full grace and
sweetness, and so it ca1no about that,
though we wcro almost Of an age, yet in
her presence 1 felt always as though Iwcre
the younger. Thus in my love for her was

s.1h have never laid down, Thomas, she

answered
ssWhy not? What do you fear?"
ssI fear the past and the future, my son.
Would that your father were back.
About 10 O'Clock of that morning, as
was making ready to walk into Bungay to
the house of the physician under whom l
was learning the art Of healing, my father
rode up. Ny mother, who was watching
at the lattice, ran out to meet him.
Springing from his horse, he embraced
her, saying: "Be OF good cheer, sweet; it
cannot be he This man has another
name. -
ssBut did you see hirn?" she asked
ssNo; he was out at his ship for the
night, and I hurried home to tell you,
knowing your fears. %
cit were surer if you had seen him, hus-
band He may well have taken another
name"
ST never thought of that, sweet, % my
father answered, but have no fear.
Should it be he, and should he dare to set
foot in the parish of buckingham, there
are those who will know how to deal with
him. But am sure that it is not he. "
ssThanks be to Jesu then!' she said,
and they began talking in low voice.
Now, seeing that was not wanted, I
took my cudgel and started down the
bridge path toward the common foot
bridge, when suddenly my mother called
me back.
ssKiss me before you go, Thomas" she
said ''You must wonder what all this
may mean. One day your father will tell

walked dozen PAGES down the bride
path that joined the road at this place and
pointed out the way that he should go,
past buckingham church. AS did so l
noticed that while spoke the stranger
was watching my face kcenly, and it seem
ed to nc with an inward fear which he
stroYe to master and could not. When I
had finished, he raised his bonnet and
thanked me, saying:
''Will you be so gracious as to tell me
your name, young sir?"
What is my name to you?" answered
roughly, for disliked this man. "You
have not told me yours. %
mo, indeed; am travelling incognito
Perhaps also have met lady in these
parts" and nc smiled strangely. II only
wished to know the name of one who had
done me courtesy, but who, it seems, Is
not SO courteous as deemed" And he
shook his horses reins.
II am not ashamed Of my name,
said. ''It has been an honest one so far,
and if you wish to know it it is Thomas
Wingfcld.' -
II thought it, he cried, and as he spoke
his face grew like the face Of fiend. Then
before I could find time even to wonder
he had sprung from his horse and stood
within three PAGES Of me.
IA lucky day! Now we will sec what
truth there is in prophecies" he said,
drawing his silver mounted sword. A
name for name; Juan de Garcia gives
you greeting, Thomas Wingield.
Now, strange as it may seem, it was at
this moment only that there flashed across
my mind tho thought of all that had
heard about the Spanish stranger, the re-
port of whose coming to Yarmouth had
stirred my father and mother so deeply.
At any other timc should have remem-
bered it soon enough, but on this day
was so sell upon my tryst with Lily and
what I should say to her that nothing
else could hold place in my thoughts.
This must be the man,, said to my
self, and then said no moro, for he was
on me, sword up. I saw the keen point
flash toward me and sprang to one side,
having desire to fly, as, being unarmcd
except for my stick, I might have done

Cold Bride Bits.

During the bitter cold weather in win
ter much suffering is thoughtlessly In
Aicted on horses by putting cold bride
bits into their mouths. If the person
who does this will apply his tongue to a
piece of iron on a frosty morning, he will
understand at once what the suffering to
the poor brutes is. Toslightly warm the
bits before putting them into the horses
mouth would require only a small e1-
penditure of labor. This can be done by
rubbing them with blanket or other

warming is not at hand. The beneficial
results in the gentleness Of the animal
will amply compensate it,

CHAPTER II.


And now must go back and speak of
my own matters AS I have told, it was
my fathers wish that should be a ply
sician, and since came back from my
schooling at Ncrwich-that was when
had entered on my sixteenth year, had
studied medicine under the doctor who
practiced his art in the neighborhood Of
Bungay. He was very learned man and
an honest, Grimstonc by name and as l
had some liking for the business made
good progress under him.
Medicine was not the only thing that l
studied in those days, however: Squire
Board Of buckingham, the same who
told my father of the coming of the Span
ish ship, had two living children, a son
and daughter, though his wife had borne
him many more WHO died in infancy.
The daughter was named Lily and of my
own age, having been born three weeks
after me in the same year.
From our earliest days we children, Bo-
yards and Wingfelds, lived almost as
brothers and sisters, for day by day We met
and played together in the snow or in the
flowers, Thus it would be hard for me to
say when began to love Lily orwhen she
began to love me, but know that when
I first went to school at Norwich I grieved
more at losing sight Of her than because
must part from my mother and the rest.
In all our games she was ever my partner,
and would search the country round for
days to find such flowers as she chanced
to love. When came back from school,
it was the same, though by degrees Lily
grew shier, and also grew suddenly shy,
perceiving that from child she had be
come woman. Still we met often, and,
though neither said anything of it, it was
sweet to us to meet.
Thus things went on till this day Of my
mothers death. But before 60 further
must tell that Squire Bozard looked with
no favor on the friendship between his
daughter and myself, and this not because
he disliked me, but rather because he
would have seen Lily welded to my elder
brother, Geofrey, my fathers heir, and not
to q younger son. So hard did he grow
about the matter at last that we two
might scarcely meet except by seeming ac-
cident, whereas my brother was ever vel
come at the hall. And on this account

ers, as is apt to be the case when O woman
comes between friends, however close, for
it must be known that my brother Godfrey
also loved Lily, as all men would have
loved her, end with better right perhaps
than had, for he was my elder by three
years and born to possessions.
Now, when had attained 19ycars I was
q man full grown, and, writing as I do in
extreme old age I may Say itwithout false
shame, very handsome youth TO boot. I
was not oyertal1 indeed, measuring but 5
feet 91 inches in height, but my limbs
were well made, and was both deep and
broad in the chest In color was, and,
my white hair notwithstanding, am still,
extraordinarily dark hued; my eyes also
were large and dark, and my hair. which
