l found it difficult to decide what
course I ought to take. 1t was obvious,
however, that I must not precipitate a
catastrophe by any rash movement, and
for the present I must keep Psyche as
much as possible out of sight.
Happily circumstances favored her Sc
clusion. The light of the sun was so
painful to the poor girl that we kept the
blinds closely drawn down all day, never
leaving the house before evening, and
then she showed no wish to stray from
my side. To her the garden at the back
OF the cottage was a wide world, enclos-
ed with high thick hedges it was a beau
tjful world, too, full of surprising treas
u.es and lovely wonders Every flower
wac miracle, and the commonest herb
a source OF delight. l never knew how
much there was TO admire in so sn.an a

fol hours watching spider make its

ground, and found himself compassed
about with forest of chickweed-al

only ended when we felt sure he was
safe home ut last. When we had watch

were full and the night well advanced,
took her away over the downs and show
ed her the sleeping villages, and the dis
tant town of Towerbridge, where the
twinkling gas lamps she took for fallen
stars; but she was always glad to return
to her beloved garden. Everything in
the world was marvellous, she said, but
there was nothing more beautiful or won
drous than the endless discoveries she
made there. Mere largeness, which had
never produced a pleasant impression on
hei mind, ceased to excite establishment

But you said the night was pitch
dark. How could you tell whether he
had red hair or not:'
The old man continued to look at me
steadfastly for another minute, but he
passed his tongue round his cheek and
saw that had him in corner.

asked as he came back. I nodded in the
direction of Towerbridge.

CHAPTER XVI.

After hearing my grandfather's extra
ordinary story | was disposed to take a
more lenient view of the part he had
played in it than had been previously
presented to my mind. l did not for a
moment doubt that he had saved the
child's life; in relating that part of the
story his manner alone carried convic-
ton. And it seemed to me quite possible
that with the distorted views of right
and wrong which the ignorant owe to an
imperfect comprehension of religious in
struction imperfectly given, he really
looked upon himself as benefactor TO
poor Psyche in keeping her out of the
way of temptation and sin.
