Weak" she exclaimed. raising her
black eyebrows. Il do not think that

judge of manhood, would call you that.

AS he spoke he rushed forward, and,
throwing the lad to n side, caught
the woman's wrist. Alleyne, however,
as active as a young deer-hound,
sprang to her aid and seized her by
the other arm, raising his iron-shod

and the help of my patron st. Magda-

door, though, as you saw, he strove to
hale me up to it,"
But your father?"

You do not know him; but 1 can tell
you he is not a man to disobey as 1

perchance, in joust or in tourney,

the Socman of Minstead. So my
knight shall find a venture such as
bold knights love, and my debt shall
be paid, n my father none the wiser,
and one rogue the less in the world"
Then down the glade there came a
little green-clad page with laughing
eyes, and long curls floating behind
him. He sat perched on a high bay
horse, and held on to the bride of a
spirited black palfrey, the hides of both
glistening from a long run.
I have sought you everywhere, dear
Lady Maude," said he, in a piping
voice, s%pringing down from his horse
and holding the %stirrup. "Troubadour

And where in C~hristchurch ?"

brave knight. Sir Nigel Loring, con-
stable to the Earl of Salisbury"
To his surprise she burst out a
laughing, and squirting her palfrey,
dashed off down the glade, with her
page riding behind her. Not one word
did she say, but as she vanished amid
the trees she half turned in her saddle
and waved a last greeting. Long time
he stood. half hoping that she might
again come back to him; but the thud
of the hoofs had died away, and there
was no sound in all the woods but the
gentle rustic and dropping of the
leaves. At last he turned away and
made his way back to the highroad-

boy who had left it a short three
hours before.

shrill whistle.

friend, ere he come back"
They ran together to the V of the
woods. AS they gained the edge of the
brushwood, Alleyne, looking back, saw
his brother come running out of the
house again, with the sun cleaning
upon his hair and his beard. He held
something which flashed in his ri hit
hand, and he stopped to unloose the

bushes to that forked ash. Do not

trow. Now into the stream-right in,
over ankles, to throw the dog off. As
she spoke, she sprang herself into the
shallow stream and ran swiftly up the
centre of it, with the brown water
bubbling over her feet, and her hand
outstretched to ward off the clinging
branches of bramble or sapling Al
leyne followed close at her heels, with
his mind in a whirl at this black vel

plans and hopes. Yet, grave as were
his thoughts, they would still turn to
wonder as he looked at the twinkling
feet of his guide and saw her 1.-THE
figure bend this way and that, dipping
under boughs, springing over stones,
with a lightness and ease which made
it no small task for him to keep up
with her. At last, when he was al
most out of breath. she suddenly
threw herself down upon a messy bank,
between two holly-bushes, and looked
ruefully 1T her own dripping feet and
b~edraggled skirt.
Alleyne, still standing in the stream,
glanced down at the graceful pink
and-white figure, the curve of raven
black hair, and the proud, sensitive
face, whichlooked ~upfrankly and conf

too" She shook her clenehed white
hand as she spoke, and her lips tight
ened ominously.
"I am already sad in heart for what

the bank, and sinking his face into his
hands. "God help mel all that is
worst in me seemed to come upper

yearly roast amounts to the hundred
million pounds?
Don't take scoop coffee, but buy a

bean after roasting with a coating of
