the Lady Maude with her hand to her

him. but he could see, by the sharp
intake of her breath, that she was
weeping bitterly.
"Alas! alas" he cried, all unnerved
at the sight, "why is it that you are

Such was a sample of the sudden
ianglings which marred the peace of
that little class. And yet, there were
times when Alleyne had to ask himself
whether it was not the Lady Maudc
who was gaining sway and influence
over him. If she were changing, so
was he. In vain he strove and reasoned
with himself as to the madness of let
ting his mind rest upon Sir Ngels
daughter. Stronger than reason, strong
er than cloister teachings, stronger
than all that might hold him back, was

He had scarce dared to face the
change which had come upon him, when

He had ridden over to Poole. one

Peter Terlake, in quest of certain yew-

away in reverberating echoes along
