much as Il glance ut anybody.
The farmer, indeed, was the only
person who seemed to be quite at his
ease with the doctor. He was pleased
and proud of the engagement between
Mason and Gwyn, and he. spoke free
ly of the comfort it gave him to think
of his little girl being settled in life,
with real gentleman, and one who
had saved her life to take care of her.
He said how much he should miss her
himself and how sorry he was that she
would go so far away.
"But, then" he added, with shrewd
shake of the head, maybe it's as well.
After all, though, you're too much Of q
gentleman to be ashamed of us, still
we're not grand enough folks for you,
sir, when all is said and done. It's only
our Gwyn that's tit for you, and there's
the truth"
Mason found these remarks rather
hard to reply to, but he listened and
made such feeble comments as he
could. He noted, while he spoke, the
piercing eyes Of Coch Tai fixed upon
him with q penetrating shrewdness
which seew,ed to suggest that the huge,
red bearded son of the mountains
guessed more than Tregaron himself
did.
Or was it that he knew more?
1t was not until supper time that he
had a chance of speaking again to
Gwyn alone. He had been working
hard out of doors all day, and she had
kept out of his way when he entered
the house ut mealtimes. But he hap
pened to enter the kitchen before the
other men, and as he did SO he met
Gwyn coming down stairs.
"Where will you sleep tonight" she
asked abruptly, in tone which be-
trayed that this question had been
troubling her.
Mason hcsitated. Then a thought
struck him.
SIN the loft with Merrick, If he'll let
me-" he answered at last.
But Gwyn was startled by the pro-
posal.
"No, no." said she, "you must not.
Let me think"
"You will never think of anything
better than that" said he gently.
"Give me an acknowledged enemy
rather than a treacherous friend"
"What do you mean? Whom do you
mean by a treacherous friendT"
81 mean no one in particular" an
swered Mason. "But Merrick is the

sits no use hoping" retorted Coch
Tai, with energy, because I'm not
guessing. I'm telling you what's true,
what know. And l don't even say
you're to blame. l don't suppose you
are. You're gentleman, and you're
handsome and soft spoken, and your
hands are white and soft, almost like
a woman's, and whittier than our wo-
mems by long way. And she knew
you We're in danger here
"Why should she know that?" asked
Mason eagerly.
But the peasant grew more reserved
at once.
"Well, you've said so yourself" said
he roughly, "and suppose you know.
Anyhow, she thought you weren't safe,
I suppose, and that makes man in
teresting in girls eyes. And SO, I
suppose, She looked ut you and thought
about you and compared you with us,
the rough folks she's used to, and saw
difference. and-and that did it. And
now there's naught to be done but to
speed you on your way and for her to
face her trouble-alone."
Coch Tai shook his head Respondent
~.
"If she'd liked me afore she might
come back to me-" said he hoarsely,
"but she never has. I've always known
that, and as l know the girls heart
just as know my own, for all I'm
only rough, ignorant man, l know,
too, that she won't get over this any
more than l could get over the loss Of
her if had to go away from seeing
her. And l know that l shall have to
stay on after all I've gone through and
see her break her heart and never be
able to so much as to take her head on
my shoulder and tell her I'm sorry"
Mason was listening very atten-
lively, with his hands loosely clasped
and his head bent.
eff l thought" said he gravely, that
there was any truth in what you
fancy, Merrick. IL would save her
from any such fate as you fear"
what! You'd marry herr"
Coch Tai was alert, alive, in mo-
ment.
"Yes," said the doctor after a slight
pause. "If that We're the only way to
save the girl from misery, would do
So"
The peasant came forward and,
drawing packing case along with him
as seat, sat close to the doctor, look
ing him straight in the eyes.

from his heart, cit is the only way.

from the whole lot of us, and If you'll

ought, you'll be doing the only thing
that can make her happy and repaying

you are"
But Mason felt less certain of this.

Mason stammered out the word. re-
peating It from Coch Tal's speech. as
the huge mountaineer stepped back
and glared at him with glowing eyes.
Aroused thus suddenly, Mason, who
had fallen into sound and dreamless
sleep, almost thought for the moment
that it was some emissary from the
sulphurous regions of evil who thun-
dered these threatening words in his
ear. The next moment, coming to him
self, and remembering the facts Of his
position, he stretched his limbs, almost
with unconcern, under the very nose of
his antagonist.
"Look here" said he at last, in a
voice which was still sleepy, still
weary, looking as he spoke straight In
to the angry eyes Of the other man.

She stopped short and blinlled fol
the first time in his recollection when
she saw the lighted candle and the
doctor sitting by the table. But she
made no comment as she went down
on her knees to her work and then pro-
ceeded to prepare the table for break
fast.
In the meantime Mason had heard
the voices of Gwyn and of her father
in earnest conversation on the stairs,
and little later he heard the farmer
and Tom go out by the back way to
their early work.
Presently the old woman disappear
ed. And he was left alone until it was
nearly o'clock.
Then Gwyn came in. She looked pale
and fragile, and she walked rather I'M
steadily, but it was plain that she was
much farther advanced on the road to
complete health than she had pretend
ed.
They stood silent, both deeply NOV
ed, for some seconds until Gwyn, re-
covering herself and reddening slight
ly, said in whisper:
81 want to tell you now-what you
said you'd hear-the reason-the reason
of-of what was done to you. 1t was
very wrong, wicked, unjustifiable, Of
course, but they would not have done
you any real harm. 1t was only q
trick, a trick to brighten you, because

AS she uttered the last word she
turned away and spoke slyly and
quickly. Whatever he thought he con-
sidered 1t best to accept the suggestion
without open skepticism, SO he merely
inclined his head.
"Of course it was absurd, most alb
surd. But they do not understand. So

assent. 81 said it to keep them quiet

apologize, doctor, for you know why

That is to be taken for granted as long
as you are here, but when you so away
and will find means of getting you
away-then will tell them the truth,
and there will be an end Of it all, of
everything"
He came little nearer to her and
tried to look into her face. And as he
did SO the door into the washhouse
was burst open by a gust Of wind
from the outer door, which was opened
at that moment by the men coming II
to breakfast.
Both Gwyn and the doctor started
and as the farmer and Tom and Cocl
Tai filed In and after the mornings
greetings took their places at the tn

preston of the three faces that the
little scene they had witnessed hat
conveyed very distinct impression tt

and savage. He kept his eyes ava!
