he got up anu won't to the door; he
could see nothing, bat he heard the
patter of falling rain, and the low,
dreary moan of the troubled sea.
Hour after hour passed, and Matt
did not come. William Jones began
to doze by the fire-then he sank into
a heavy sleep.
| He awoke with q start, and found
that it was broad daylight The fire
| was out, the rain had ceased to fall,
and the mornings sun was creeping in
| at the windows. He looked around
and saw that he was still alone. He
| went into Mats room-it was empty.
| She had not returned.
He was now filed with vague un-
easiness. He made up bit of fire and
! was about to issue forth again in search
of the truant, when all further trouble
was saved him-the door opened and
Matt herself appeared.
She seemed almost as much disturbed
as William Jones himself. Her face
was very pale, her hair wild, her dress
in great disorder. She started on see
ing him, then, assuming devil-may-
care look, she lounged in:
You're up early, William Jones"
she said.
Eyes, l am up early" he replied,
gruffly; "'cause why?-'cause l amt
been to bed. And where have you
been?-jest you tell me that"
"Why-I've been out, of course" re-
turned the girl, defantly.
THAT won't do, Matt" returned
William Jones. ''Come, you'll jest tell
me where you've been. You amt been
out all night for nothing"
The girl gave him a look, half of de-
fiance, half of curiosity; then she threw
herself down, rather than sat, upon a
chair.
81 am tired. 1 am" she said, "and
hungry and cold!'
''Will you tell ,ne where you've been,
Matt?" cried William Jones, trembling
with suspicious alarm.
Course l will. if you keep quiet"
said the girl in answer. ''There amt
much to tell neither. l were away
along to Pancroes when the heavy
rain came on, then lay down behind
a haystack and fell asleep, and when

William Jones looked at her stead
tasty and long; then, as if satisfied
he turned away. About an hour later
he left the hut and walked along the
shore straining his eyes seaward. But
instead Of looking steadfastly at one
spot, as his custom was, he paused
now and again to gaze uneasily about
him. At every sound he started and
turned pale. In truth, he was becom-

of the sound of his own footsteps on

was not pleasant. 1t was this that
made him nervous-this that made him
start and tremble at every sound.
Presently a thought struck him.
where's Matt?" he asked.
Don't know. William dear: she amt
been here for hours and hours. Maybe
she's on the shore"
''Maybe she is-I'l go and have a
look" replied William.
1t must not be supposed for mo-
ment that William Jones had become
afflicted with sudden and tender in
'terest in Matt-he merely wanted to
get quit of the cabin, that was all, and
he saw in this reasonable excuse for
walking out alone. He accordingly
made his escape, and went wandering
off along the shore.
1t was ten o'clock when he returned:
he was still pale, and drenched to the
skin. The old man was doing beside
the fire, and alone.
where's MATTE" asked William
again.
"Ain't you seen her, William dear?
We'll, she amt here"

easy this time, and it is but due to him
to confess that his uneasiness was
caused by Mats prolonged absence.

CHAPTER XIV.
IT. CARAVAN DISAppEARs

l
Several days passed away, during
which William Jones showed a strange
and significant affection for his own
| freside. He went out a little in the
sunlight; but directly night came he
locked and barricaded the door as il
against thieves, and declined, on any
inducement, to cross the threshold.
Even had a three-decker gone ashore
in the neighbOrhood he would have
thought twice before issuing forth into
the dreaded darkness.
For William Jones was genuinely
afraid; his hereditary calm of mind
| was shaken, not SO much with horror
at murderous deed, as with conster-
nation that his lifelong secret had
been discovered by one man, and
might, sooner or later, be discovered
by others. He did not put implicit
faith even in Monk; it was his nature
to trust nobody where money was con-
cerned.
AS to returning back to the cave IN
| til he had quite recovered his equanim-
ity, that was out of the question.
Even by daylight he avoided the spot
with holy horror. Only in his dreams,
which were dark and troubled, did he
visit ito see the face of the muir
dered man in the darkness, and the
hand of the murdered man pointing at
him with cold, decaying finger.
The day after the murder he had
been greatly unsettled by visit from
| Tim Linney, who demanded news of
his master and said that he had not re-
turned to the caravan all night. Tim
seemed greatly troubled, but gave vent
to no very violent ebullitions of grief.
When he was done Matt sat by the fire
side and looked long and keenly at
| William Jones.
"What are you staring at?" cried he,
fdgeting uneasily under her gaze.
"Nowt," said Matt; 81 were only
wondering
Then don't go wondering" ex'
sistently. ''You mind your own bust
ness and don't be a fool!' And he
turned testify and gazed at the fire
But Matt, whose eyes were full of a
curious light, was not to be abashed.
"Ain't you well, William Jones?" she
asked.
I'm we'll enough am"
"Pts queer, amt it, that the painter
chap never come home?"
''How should know?" growled vii
liam. Maybe he's gone back where
he come from"
''Or maybe he's drownded? Or may

suggested Matt.
Never you mind him, my gal. Hes
all right, never fear. And if he ain't
it's no affair O. yours, or mine neither
You go along out and play"
Matt went out as directed, and i
