CHAPTER KIN.
Hulda no more shunncd MI. Fnlck.

About eight months after Olaf Bruins
departure Iulda received o letter from
him. which fell into her hands by pure
accident. She was taking q walk with
her sister along the highway when she
met Nils, the groom. carrying the mail
bag. Nils, who from shrewd intuition
had guessed the true state of Affairs, had
taken the p~recaution to conceal in his
pocket a letter with American stamps
upon which he had deciphered Hulda's
name. Tho grateful glance with which
she rewarded him made him for a mo-
ment cherish murderous designs against
Nj. Falck. that malicious ogre, who. a.
he fancied, was prosecuting her.
II was not clear from Olaf's letter
whether he had written any epistles be-
fore which had never reached her. Mira

pressed it, b~lackguarded him to his
uncls and made him no end Of trouble.
That lofty functionary had indeed rs
sumed such an insulting tone toward
him apropos Of his engagement to her
that nothing but his cray hairs had

tho bad with drink, and whose Wife had
applied for support from the poor funds.
His desire to divert her by stories of
this sort was to Hulda almost touching,
and she fcigned q greater interest in
them than she actually felt.
With all his kindness he was as fan
from comrrehending her as her mother,
since he supposed that, like q naughty
child, she could be coaxed back into good
humor by fairy tales. As she sat there
watching his obvious efforts to alnuse
her and his pleased laugh when he fan.
cied he had succeeded she felt her heart
warm toward him with a tenderness
which did not exclude a Of his in
adequacy to the situation. But for all
that the mask she was wearing was be
coming irksome to her and an urgent
need rose within her to show him he,
real cOuntenance.
Father, I" she said in the pause which
had followed the story Of Peer Vands-
beck's misdemeanors, 'do you know
whore Mr.. Brun went-when mother
sent him away?"
He looked annoyed and disappointed.
His efforts had, after all. been in vain.
"No, child, no." he replied in u tore
Of dismissal. II have not the least
idea"
IF you will not find ont for me, IA
ther, ! shall have to find out for my
SELF" she remarked after awhile with
quiet resolution.
my dear child, you don't mean that.
Only consider for q moment. This
young man has no profession and no
fortune. He has no means Ct supporting
himself. much less wife and family.
These matters appear sordid to you NJ
doubt and highly unromantic. But fol
that very reason it is q parents duty to
consider them and prevent his child
from plunging into that sea Of trouble.
You must trust me q little, dear. You
must concede that your mother and ]
have seen more Of life than you have,
and that we have no desire in the world
but to secure your happiness in 30 far as
1t Is in human hands to do So"
He rose, apparently unwilling to dis
cuss the subject further, patted hc1
cheek, kissed her and walked out Of the
room.

How came you here!'' he cried in stupe.
fed wonder. lyon arc cold and wet.
Here. take my rain coat i shall not

Mot unless you come with me. I
shall never be happy unless you come.
He stood holding her tightly clasped
in his arms, and n great glow Of joy
spread through his being. She could not
be happy unless he came. Foolish would
he be to throw away q life made pre-
cious by that confession. And che mes
tied in his embrace AZ she had never
done before. The glow in his blood al
ternnted with tiny shivers, and a cool
breeze Of ecstasy swept through his
nerves. It scarcely occurred to him that
tho embrace might be involuntary, NJ
she needed his support to keep her foot
ing. But suddenly, as he was about to
surrender to tho delight Of secure pos
session, it dawned upon him that il he
plucked this tempting fruit before he
had earned it he would have cause for
regret. It was ignoble to accept the
crown without the dust, to claim the
reward and omit the toll. Sho might
not in her present exalted mood see it
in that light, but when her reason reas-
serted itself she would despise him for
having imposed upon her, winning her
admiration for II mere Willingness t
perform q deed which he never perform
ed. Tho shouts of the man in tho boat
reached him through the wind. and re-
luctantly releasing her he kissed her
brow and said:
Farewell, Hulda."
"But you are not going?"
Eyes; it must be. Farewell"
A rope Vas flung to him, and he &C.
cured it about his waist as he desce nded
the stone steps and awaited his chance to
leap into the boat, which was tossing
wildly on the windward side of the
pier. The very moment he withdrew his
hand he vanished utterly. 1t was as if
the gloom had swallowed him up. There
was an i%nstant's lull in the storm, as if
it were holding its breath. aud in that
hull she had al impression that some
thing black was wl,irlcd past her vision
and helplessly swept away into that
vast roaring chaos which filled tho earth
and sky.

terror inspired by the queen that no
