Then she said with an attempt at

Jane made no answer, and they
walked silently to tho door where Ma.
tilda's carriage was waiting. Mrs.
swaffham Joined them as Matilda was
about to leave. and the girl said, II
had come near TO forgetting some
thing l wished to tell you. One OF
those men called Quakors was preach
ing his new religion at Squire oliver
Leder's last night. There was much
disputing about him today"
What said Lady Henoage OF the
preacher?" asked Mrs. Swanham.
"She thought he ought to be put In
the stocks; and her sister Isabel said
that he was a good man. aad had the
root Of the matter In him. heard
that he was 10 preach again at Deep.

"she says faithful yet knows not
how to DO faithful"
"She is much changed"
1T would be strange Indeed II she
was not changed. Before these trou-

and tho idol Of her brothers. Two OF
her brothers fell fighting by the side
OF Prince Rupert. her mother wept
herself into the grace for them, her
father is stiil nursing the wound he
got at Naseby, and her only brother,
Stephen. is with Charles Stuart, wher-
ever he may be. II such troubles aid
not change a girl, she would be hewn
from tho very rock Of selhshness."
On her way home Matilda sat erent
lost In thought, and her eyes had a
look in them full OF anxiety and sor-
row. The sadness Of an immense dis
Illusion was over her Her lie had
gone TO ruin, but she trusted that
some miracle would restore T. All
her old friends had departed The
grave had some; others had taken DIFF
ferent ways or battle and exile had
scattered them. by the side Of her
sick father she stood alone Oppressed
by such considerations. she felt like
child that suddenly realizes II has
lost It's way and IS left alone In a
wilderness.
Nothing IN her surroundings offered
her any help. The road was fat and
dreary; a wide level lntersected with
deep drains and "droves"--a poor
