CHAPTER iv.-(continued.,

Neville had asked to be called early,
and before daybreak he came into the
parlor ready for his journey. Some
broiled beef, manchet Of white bread
and black jar of spiced ale. stirred
with a rosemary branch, was waiting
for him; and Mrs. Swaffham and Jane
sat at his side while he eat and
drank.
Soon Neville's horse came clotter-
ing to the door. He clasped James
hand as 1t hung by her side, and they
walked thus to the threshold. Snow
was falling; the steps were white
with 1t, and the east wind blew 1t
gently In their faces. Mrs. Swaffham
laughed and drew her shawl over her
head. and Neville laughed also. and
with a cheerful word. leaped to his
saddle, his dark figure growing more
and more phantom-like through the
dim dawn and the white veil of the
snow. At the gate he wheeled his
horse, and, saluting them, vanished
into the gray obscurity. which made
all things as IL they were not.

up and kissed her friend. and in a
little while they went downstairs to-
gether, and Matilda had some boiled
milk and bread and slice OF venison.
Then she asked Mrs. Swaffham to let
her have coach to go home in.
Mrs. Swaffham kissed her for an.

ture as full OF JOY as days in the past
had been.
After this visit it was cold winter
weather, and Cluny Neville came no
more until the pale windy spring was
over the land. And this visit was so
short that Mrs. Swaffham. who had
gone to Ely. did not see him at all.
For he merely rested while a fresh
horse was prepared for him, eating a
little bread and meat almost from
James hand as he waited. Yet in that
half hours stress and hurry, love over
leaped space that had not been taken
without II; for as he stood with one
hand on his saddle, ready to leap into
1t. Jane trembling and pale at his side,
he saw unshed tears in her eyes and
felt the unspoken love on her lips. and
as he clasped her hand his heart
sprang to his tongue. and he said with
q passionate tenderness:
Farewell. Jane! Darling janet
then, afraid Of his own temerity. he
was away ere he could see the wonder
and Joy called into her face by the
smeet familiar words.
When he came again, 1t was harvest
time; the reapers were In the wheat
fields. and as he neared Swaffham he
saw Jane standing among the bound
sheaves, serving the men and women
with meat and drink. He tied his
horse at the gate and went to her side,
and oh, how fair and sweet he found
herl Never had she looked, never
had any woman looked in his eyes so
enthralling. The charm Of the quiet
moon was over all; there was no
noise. indeed rather pastoral melan-
choly> with gentle ripple of talk
threading 1t about blowing and sowing
and rural affairs.
In short time the men and women
scattered to their work. and Cluny,
turning his bright face to James. took
both her hands In his and said with
eager delight:
