He waited until the young lovers had gone
| some distance, when he emerged from his
place of conccalment and quietly wended
his way toward the castle. !, On his way he
met one of his servants, to whom he spoke
few words. The mans face slightly
changed color as his masters voice fell on
his ear.

departed
II understand, my Lord. And the
man walked away.
Roland Hitter lived mile from the
castle Of IsfodeI, and it was his favorite
pastime to wander along the high hank
that bordered the ocean and listen to the
beating of the waters below. Rarely a day
passed but that he spent portion Of his
time there.
On the afternoon following the events
just narrated Roland was walking leisurely
along the bank. gazing on the blue waters,
when a voice fell on his ear.
"a bad place for man to fall from
''Ah, is it you, Rupert?" said Roland as
he turned around. ''Ies, it is, as you
say, bad place. The best swimmer, |
warrant, could not live in such sea"
''Yet his cries would probably reach the
castle
II fear not The sound of the waves
would drown them.n
The eyes of Rupert glittered with a
dangerous light as he heard these words.
"Do you think the edge of this bank is
tirm?n he asked ''Would there not be
danger of it crumhling if one should stand
close to the brink.
"None in the least. have stood many
tunes within an inch of the edge and felt
no danger whatever. See.'
As Roland spoke he stepped forward
and presently only a small space inter
