CHAPTER XII.


"Tell me am wicked. Tell me I'm
a fool, says Moll, clinging to my arm

well, when we have eaten"-
Nay We must go this moment
cannot be at peace till have asked him
to forgive. Come with me, or l must go
alone. "
Yielding to her desire without fur
ther ado, l fetched my hat and cloak,
and she doing likewise we sailed out
forthwith. Taking the side path by
which Dario came and went habitually,
we reached little wicket gate, opening
from the path upon the highway, and
here, seeing man mending the road, we
asked him where we should find Anne
Fitch, as she was called with whom
the painter lodged. Pointing to neat
cottage that stood by the wayside, with
in stones throw, he told us the "wise
woman" lived there. We crossed over
and knocked at the door, and voice
within bidding us come in we did SO.
There was very sweet. pleasant
smell in the room from the herbs that
hung in little parcels from the beams,
for this Anne Fitch was greatly skilled
in the use Of simples, and had no equal
for curing fevers and the like in all the
country road. But besides this it was
said she could look into the future and
forecast events truer than any Egyptian.
There was a chair by the table, on which
were an empty bowl and some broken
bread, but the wise woman sat in the
chimney corner, bending over the hearth,
though the fire had burned out, and not
an ember glowed. And strange little
elf she looked, being very wien and
small, with one shoulder higher than
the other, and face fu1l of pain.
When l told her our business-for
Moll was too greatly moved to speak
the old woman pointed to the adjoining
room.
"He is goner' cries Moll, going to
the open door and peering within.
Eyes, answers Anne Fitch. "Alas !"
"When did he go?" asks Moll.
AN hour since, answers the other.
"Whither is he gomez"
81 am no witch.
"At least you know which way he
went
~ have not stirred from here since
gave him his last meal. "
Moll sank into the empty chair and
bowed her head in silence.
Anne Fitch, whose keen eyes had
never strayed from Moll since she first
entered the room, seeming as if they

Moll says:

tell you things would make you think

answers she dolefully, "save where he
is"
Would you know whether you shall
ever see him again or not?"

Moll quickly

wise woman asks to look at my hand,
and ON my demurring she says she must
know whether am friend or an enc

give my hand, and she examines it.
"You call yourself James Hopkins, T"
says she.
why, every one within mile knows
that" says l.
AYE" answers she, fixing her pierc-
ing eyes on my face, "but every one
knows not that some call you Kit.
This fairly staggered me for mo-
ment.
How do you answer that?" she asks,
observing my confusion.

row and terrified by the wise woman 5
divining powers, could make no answer,
but soon Fitch, taking less heed of her
tremble than Of mine, regards her hand
again.
How were you called in Barbary?"
asks she.
This question, betraying a flaw in the
wise woman's perception, gave Moll
courage, and she answered readily enough
that she was called "Lala Mollah"-
which was true, "Lala" being the Moor
ish for lady, and "Mollah" the name
her friends in Elche had called her as
being more agreeable to their ear than
the shorter English name.
"Mollah-Moll" says Anne Fitch as
if commming with herself. "That may
we'll be-" Then, following line in
Moll's hand, she adds, "You will love
but once, child.
"What is my sweetheart's name?"
whispers Moll, the color springing in
her face.
"You have not heard it yet, 4" replies
the other, upon which Moll pulls her
hand away impatiently, but you have
seen him." continues tho wise woman,
"and his is the third hand in which
have read another name. "
Tell me now II l shall see him
again." cries Moll eagerly, Offering heI
hand again and as quickly as she had
before withdrawn it.

turns the other. 1.-THE line is deep one.

her eyes.
NO" she said, rather feebly.
"Oh! but you have. Now tell me, is
1t true that you are not SO hard as you
pretend to be? Is it true, for instance"
and he came nearer to her, that you
are sorry you snubbed me SO unmerci-
fully that day-you know when?"
There was a pause. Constance was
much agitated. But she gathered her
forces together, and answered with
some spirit:
mo. 1t is not true. 1 am not
sorry"
But there was a tremor in her gentle
voice, tenderness in her eyes, which
belied her words.

knelt down on the floor beside her. 81
mean l don't believe your words. be-
lieve your eyes. And can read in them
that you do care; that you have been
unhappy, lonely, since you quarreled
with me-"
Then she gave way, and in a piteous
little sob betrayed the feeling she had
been trying to hide. He stole one of
her white hands, which not even the
frost had succeeded in making red and
ugly, and held it tenderly in his own.
She cried in silence for few minutes,
and then turned upon him fiercely:
"Wby do you torment me?" she asked,
with something like terror in her voice.

I know you have had hard life, which
is not growing any easier, and because
want to give you some case, some rest,
some happiness, darling"
But you can't. You know you can't.
Oh, Cyril. don't begin it all over again!"
But he had both hands now. He
was holding them in firm grip, look
ing into her face, with an expression of
longing tenderness which thrilled her,
warmed her in spite OF herself.
my darling, couldn't you trust me ?
Don't you think would make you hap-
py as long as you live?"
He could see in her eyes the struggle
which was going on between her feel
ings and her instincts Of duty and
honor.
Don't you think would make you
kind husband, Constance?"
With sudden impulse she snatched
her hands away,

she said, piteously. "But you know you

the result OF illness rather than of in

For the truth was that there was
nothing in Tom Anderson TO rouse ten

found him out. He took her attentions
in hang-dog fashion, with some little
shame, perhaps. but with still more ir-

But they refused. preferring the ills

rails in the keen outside air. Miss

''Ycu will come. won't you, Con-

A shiver ran through her, not caused

tian name.
She hesitated and then said: yes"
Cyril helped her out, and led her
across the lines back to the platform.
Then she asked SUDDENLY:

."She's gone off with Glynn," said
Cyril. smiling. AFTER quarreling
with me-"
"Ah!" said Constance.
Cyril could detect jealousy, pique,
pride in the simple utterance. They
walked along the platform in silence to
the office of the station master, whcre'a
bright fire was blazing.
With cry Of delight Constance went
down on her knees before it, and spread
out her stiff fingers in the welcome
warmth. Cyril stood near. looking
down at her delicate, worn face. in
which the blue eyes looked prcternat-
urally large. After a long silence he
said suddenly.

The person addressed stepped nim-
bly, down from the platform, and
picked his wny in the dark across the
lines 10 the siding.
A tall. wel-made young man, with a
kindly. open face, Cyril Ardener looked
what he was, really nice fellow, n
favorite with his own sex and with
the other. AS the girl above him
looked down into his face, it was easy
to see that she was one of those upon
whom the Juvenile lead" had made
deep impression.
"Iou had much better stay where
you are" said he, pSrsuasive!y. 'The

II was an all-night journey, and a
very cold one. Perhaps the state of the
thermometer would not have mattered
so much IL the Great London Sue
cess" with which the company were
travelling had made stronger impress
sion upon the audiences of the provin-
cial towns to which it had been pre-
sented.
They were going north, and there
was wait" of four hours in one Of
the lieariest OF the Lancashire manu-
featuring towns. The company's car
rage had been detached from the train
and shnnted on to siding to wait for
the carly morning train which was to
take it on to FALSELY.
The men of the company had all
got out rs soon as the train drew up
ut the platform. and had gone Off into
the town in search of some establish
ment, no matter how lowly, which
would open its doors TO them and give
them rcfreshment.
The ladies. Ave in number, remained
in their compartment, huddled up in
their warmcst cloaks, trying to get a
little sleep. But it would not do; it
was too cold. The "old woman" who
was really old. rubbed her eyes miser-
ably.
. "They've all got off, supposed" she
grumbled. "And of course they never
think of u.s."
A bright young girl, from whose
cheeks not even an all-night journey
could take the roses, sprang to her feet
and let down the nearest window.
'They shall think of us, thought"
cried she, as she thrust her head and
shoulders ont of the window. "Comc
and let us out! Come and let us out,
some of you. any of you!" cried she,
impcriously. And the next moment,
catching sight on the dimly-lighted
platform of figure she knew, she
cried: "Mr. Ardener! Mr.. Ardener!

And vision came as he gently dosed.
