A fire of logs burned In the CRATE before
them and filled the room with haze OF
heavy smoke; the tapping of mans stick
had ceased. and the house was without
sounds and void. In the hills above them
q wild wind secured the clefts and sent

drawbridge had become monstrous scala

which none but the eagle dared.
"Three months-is 1t really three

awful den. Three months listening to that

footsteps drew very near, and now they
could hear the old chevalier painting and
shutting and plainly approaching them.
When he entered the room they perceived
that something had occurred beyond the
ordinary. The hand upon the stick quiv-

head were twitching; there were drops of
sweat upon the mans forehead, and his
voice echoed the tumult of passion which
shook him.

Kenyon said not word; and now the old
man struck at him with his stick wildly
and blindly, in a paroxysm of anger. One
heavy blow fell upon Gavin's shoulder and
he stepped back with an oath; but the
young mans temper could not brook the
new insult and he flung himself heavily
ground together.

would sooner q man had burned Ills hand
In fame than compelled him to listen each
day ct dawn for the tapping Of that stick
upon the door and the coming OF that terri
bic sightiesss figure. Even in his sleep the
old chevalier would visit him, approaching
with his clawiike hands extended and his
eyes seeming to shine as live Goals In the
darkness Never had he imagined that 30

at length, poking the fire restlessly and lis
tenfng as OF habit for the dreaded beat OF
the blind mans stick upon the stone floor

what can woman do? Let's regard that
view of 1t as out of the question. What
would ask-what you have been asking-is
just this-why does Chesney do nothing? He
must know that Ii all had been well, we
should have written and let him hear 1t.

in five minutes. Why does he do nothing7
He's an old Winchester boy and could see

such man as Chesney would sit on his

moving somewhere-pity 1t isn't on the road
Perhaps II is, and they've lost the road"
rejoined Kenyon with sarcasm he could
not conceal. Don't you see. Gavin, that

to have taken care of themselves. OF

Chesny has heard that we crossed the FROM

were killed are unlikely to be important

goes picnicking. Evelyn waits for our let

Gavin assented, though he could admit to
himself that the common heroics of the
