CHAPTER XXI.


"Gwyn! It's Gwyn's voice"
AS the farmer uttered these words
change came over his face. The saw
age expression disappeared, and his
features became in an instant con.
yulsed with tender anxiety.
The cry was repeated, and Tregaron
and Mason both answered by shouts,
to which she answered by sort Of
loud sob of relief. In few minutes
they came upon the girl, who had be-
gun to ascend the side of Pen Uchaf in
their track, but who had sunk down.
exhausted and giddy, at the foot Of q
great slab of bare gray rock.
"Gwyn! My girl! My little girl! Out
herei Oh, doctor, she'll catch her
death!'
And the angry and malignant man
became in an instant the humble sup
plant, and he looked pathetically up
into Masson's face, with his eyes
streaming with tears.
"Help me to carry her back" said
the doctor briefly.
They half led, half carried her back
to the farmhouse, which was soon
reached. The grandmother, who stood
watching their approach from the door
way, was enjoined to change the girls
clothes at once and to put her to bed.
But after the lapse of few minutes
Gwyn, regardless Of their injunctions,
came down stairs again, clinging to
the banisters for support, but full Of
energy, of solicitude for Mason.
"Go back up stairs to bed" said the
doctor gently as he ran forward to her
assistance.
But Gwyn shook her head obstinate
ly.
II will go up stairs" whispered she
hoarsely, when you are safely away
not before!"
Mason tried to protest, but she i'm
periously silenced him.
"Now he thinks he has you safe, be-
cause it is too late to try again to
reach Trecoed tonight. So 1t is. but
you must get out of this house. You
must go down the hill and turn to the
left and up the valley, keeping on this
side Of the stream until you get to
Thomas. Go up there and ask them
to give you shelter for the night and
start for Trecoed us soon as it is light.
Mind, don't be stopped. If some one
meets you and tells you am Ill, dying,
don't believe it and don't stop. 1t will
be trick to turn you out of your way.
God forgive me for having to warn
you against my own flesh and blood.
But must save you; must, will"
She looked up into his eyes with a
luminous light In her own which In
toxicated him.
"Gwyn," he whispered, don't send
me away from you. Let me stay until
can marry you and take you away
Let me, my darling, let me save you'll"
But she drew herself theoretically
away.
'1Yhat has all been decided-settled,'
said she peremptorily. "Now, there Ii
only one more thing to be said. Yor
must swear that when you leave here
you will forget everything that has
passed. everything that has happened
And that you Win never oesps her

per, ana eacn member, on entering,
greeted the newcomer. the men with a
touch Of the forelock, the women with
courtesy. There was the farmer
himself, the husband of the woman
who had made Mason welcome, and
there were three short, broad, sturdy
sons and two shorter and equally
sturdy daughters.
To Masson's delight the conyersa-
ton turned us soon as they were all
seated at the table ON the family ut
Monachlog.
"And how's the lass?" asked Mr..
Thomas as he helped his family from
huge dish Of ham and eggs. 81 did
hear us Tregaron was troubled about
her. She'd caught cold out in the rain
one day looking after the sheep for
her father"
"She's been very ILL.," answered Mas
son. II was lucky in being able to be
Of some little service to them, for I'm
a doctor, and Mr.. Tregaron had been
unable to get one to come and see his
daughter"
Everybody looked interested.
"And hope they treated you well,
sir, up there" said Thomas in an In
quiring tone.
II had nothing to complain Of" an
swered Mason. "But why do you
ask? l thought you had ali great
name for hospitality up here among
the hills?"
"Well, sir, hope we have. But, you
know. sir, different folks has different
ways"
"He means. sir" broke in his moro
talkative and less cautious wife, that
the Tregarons are not like other folks;
leastways they haven't been since Mrs.

with difficulty down the hillside in the
darkness he decided that he would fol-
low the advice she had given him at
the beginning of their conversation
and find the other farmhouse of which
she had spoken.
If he could get shelter for the night
he would start on his way back to Ire
coed early on the following morning.
He turned to the left, therefore,
when he reached the bottom Of the hill
and saw light on the high ground
above him on the left.
After n long and toilsome struggle, in
the course of which he was plunged
knee deep into drifts at every other
step, he got to the foot Of the hill, and
from this spot found the ascent easy
enough, as IL path down the slope had
been cut by the Inhabitants of the
farmhouse.
He knocked, and little active WON

Before he had finished his speech thu

The point or ll1l on which Mason
and the farmer stood seemed to hang
right over the black waters of the
mountain pool. and Mason turned gid.

looked down and saw the still, dark,
waveless lake beneath him. A horrible
notion seized him at that moment that
1t was from this point that his brother
had been thrown and that the silent

He shuddered and, looking up at the
farmer, saw that the mans thin. blood

The farmer and his wife exchanged
Il stealthy look. And with one accord
they started fresh subjects of CONVEX
sation and refused to make any sug-
gestion or any hint which could either
throw Mason off or on the scent he
was pursuing.
When the younger members Of the
family had gone to bed, Mason tried
again to get from the farmer or his
wife some opinion, some suggestion on
the matter of his brothers fate. But
nothing he could say, no persuasion or
entreaty, or even affected doubt, could
draw them from their determined reti-
cence.
