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 rather as though to see who
it was that followed her. There she stood
in the evening light, a 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 as she stood
thus in her white robe, a look Of amaze
upon her face and in her gray eyes that
was half real, half feigned, 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 early to her full grace and
sweetness, and so it came about that,
though we were almost of an age, yet in
her presence I felt always as though lwere
the younger. Thus in my love for her was
mingled some touch Of reverence.
ooh, It's you, Thomas, she said, blush

CHAPTER II.
THE COMING OF THE SPANIARI

THE COMING OF THE SPANIARD.
And now must go back and speak OF
nv own matters AS I have told, it was
nv fathers wish that should be ply
sician, and since I came back from my
schooling at Norwich-that was when l
had entered on my sixteenth year, had
studied medicine under the doctor who
practiced his art in the neighborhood OF
Bungay. He was a very learned man and
an honest, Grimstone by .:ane, and as
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, 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
first went to school at Norwich grieved
more at losing sight Of her than because l
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 CHANGED
to love. When I came back from school,
it was the same, though by degrees Lily
grew shier, and also grew suddenly Shy,
perceiying that from child she had be-
come a 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 beforc so 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 ne
would have seen Lily welded to my elder
brother, Geoffrey, my father S heir, and not
to younger son. So hard did he grow
about the matter at last that we two
might scarcely meet except by seeming &C
cident, whereas my brother was ever vel
come at the hall. And on this account
some bitterness arose between us two broth
ers, as is apt to be the case when q woman
comes between friends, however close, for
it must be known that my brother Geofrey
also loved Lily, as all men would have
loved her, and with better right perhaps
than I had, for he was my elder by three
years and born to possessions.
Now, when had attained 10 9ycars was
a man full grown, and, writing as do in
extreme old age may say it without false
shame, very handsome youth to boot. 1
was not overtall indeed, measuring but 5
feet 9H inches in height, but my limbs
were well made, and 1 was both deep and
Broad in the chest. In color was and,

were large and dark, and my hair. which

her face glimmering white in the twilight
of the May morning as she sat, her large
eyes fixed upon the lattice.

ssT have never laid down, Thomas, She
answered
'sWhy not? What do you fear?''
'.I 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
was learning the art Of healing, my father
rode up. My 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 I"
ssBut did you see him?" she asked
stEo; he was out at his ship for the
night, and I hurried home to tell you,
knowing your fears. -
.sIt were surer if you had seen him, hus:
band He may well have taken another
name"
'tI 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. ("
'1Thanks be to Jesu then?' she said
and they began talking in low voice

has hung over my life for many years, but
that is, trust, gone forever
'.If it be man who fings it, he had

laughing and shaking my thick stick.
'sIt is man. she answered, 'but one

Thomas, should you ever chance to meet
him."

argument at the last, for the most cunning
