Arlington was a tiny hamlet, lying
strictly within the borders of another
parish, where the vicar was very old and
infrm, but the curate OF Marldon had
never shrunk from responding TO any
call which came from the two or three
families inhabiting the poor. low lying,
damp, out-of-the-way cottages Least of

she felt in her own conscience what his
conscience would suffer for the act, she

Early one dull October day a girl came
quickly along the lanes towards Marldon.
There has been much rain and little frost
that Autumn, so that the country had
not quite lost its Summer tinge of green,
but winds had blown incessantly and
given the foliage tattered. disconnected
look. Something of the same look,
tscared and uneasy. was repeated in the
girls face. Every now and then she
glanced behind her. with swift, in

ing came. The population in this coun-
try district was scanty, and she only
passed a cart driven by man and two
or three school children, truants from
school, who were climbing the hedges in
search of a few remaining blackberries.
As she saw them in the distance the un-
easy look in her eyes became more
marked, and she scurried by them on
the opposite side of the narrow, muddy
lane without question, although she
was sure they could have told her what
she wanted to know.
Presently she came upon an outlying
whitewashed cottage. with a garden still
full Of chrysanthemums and geraniums
and smoke flying lightly out Of a CHM
ney. She paused, then closed her rather
tremulous mouth determlnedly. NO"
she said, II won't. I'll find the house
somehow"
At last, seeing a man working In a
field. she called to him over the gate:
