more he returned He was out of his
place, and protested penitence. l dare
say he really was sorry. He remained
a while at home, but could not get on
with our father, who was determined
to have his way with Martin. and Mar
tin was equally resolved not to become
a Dissenting minister. To me 1t was
amazing that my father should perse-
we're, because it was obvious that Mar
tin had no vocation for the pastorate;
but my father IS determined man.
Having made up his mind that Martin
was to be preacher, he would not be
moved from it. In our village couple
of young men resolved to go to Amer
ica They were friends of Martin, and
persuaded him to join them. He asked
my father to give him fit-out and let
him go. But no-the old gentleman
was not to be turned from his purpose.
Then a temptation came in poor Mar
! tins way, and he yielded to it in
| thoughtle- moment, or, perhaps,
when greatly excited by an alterca
ton with his father. He took the
money and ran away
He did not 60 to American
No, Mi S Jordan. He rejoined the
same company with which he had
been connected before. That was how
he was caught
And the money!
Some of it was recovered, but what
he had done with most of it no one
knows; the poor thriftless lad least of
all. l dare say he gave away pounds
right and left to all who made out a
case of need to him.
Then these two, sitting in the gar
den perfumed with sticks, heard Eve
calling Barbara.
1T is nothing said Barbara; Eve
is tired of polishing her spangles, and
so wants me- cannot go to her now;
I must hear the end of your story
I was on my way to this place.
Jasper continued, when had to pass
through Princes Town. I found my
other brother there, Walter, who is al
so devoted to our poor Martin; Walter
had found means OF communicating
with his brother, and had contrived
plans of escape. He had a horse in
readiness, and one day, when the pris
oners were cutting turf on the moor.
his comrades built a turfstack round
Martin, and the warders did not dis
! cover that he was missing till he had
made off. Walter persuaded me to re-
main a day or two in the place to as
sist in carrying out the escape, which
was successfully executed. We got
away off Dartmoor, avoided Tavistock
and lost ourselves on these down, but
were making for lamar, that we might
cross into Cornwall by bridge or ferry,
or by swimming our horses; and then
we thought to reach Polperro and send
Martin out of the kingdom in any ship
that sailed
Why did you not tell me this at
once, when You came to our house?
a~ked Barbara, with little of her old
sharpness.
Because l did not know you then,
Miss Jordan; | could not be sure that
you might be trusted
She shook her head oh, Mr.. Jas
per! am not tru stworthy. l did be-
tray what believed to be your secret
Your very trustiness made YOU
traitor he answered courteously.
Your first duty was to your sister,
Why did you allow me to suppose
| that you were a criminal?'
You had found the prison clothes,
and at first sought to screen my
brother. I did not know where Martin
was; | wished to give him ample time
for escape by diverting suspicion to
my elf

flowers fell about her dark hair, and
strewed themselves on the counter
pane around her head. She did not see
them. She did not feel them.
If she had been really and thorough
.ly happy when at last she rose from
her knees, her cheeks would not have
shone with tears nor would her hand
kerchief have been so wet that she
hung it out of her window to dry it,
and took another from her drawer
Then she went to her glass and
brushed her hair, which was somewhat
ruffled, and she dipped her face in the
basin
After that she was more herself
She unlocked her desk and from it
took a small box tied round with red
ribbon. Within this box was a sha.
green case, and in this case hand
some rosewood pipe, mounted in sill
yer.
This pipe had belonged to her uncle
and it was one of the little items that
had come to her. Indeed, in the d.
vision of family relics, she had chosen
this. Her cousin had leased her, and
asked whether it was intended for her
future husband She made no other
reply than that she fancied it, and so
she had kept it. When she selected If
she had thought of ia per. He smoked
occasionally. Possibly, she thought she
might some day give it to him. when
ne had proved himself to be truly re-
pentant.
NOW he was clear from all guilt. she
must make him the present-a token
OF complete reconciliation. She busted
the pretty bowl with her clean pocket
handkerchief, and looked for the lion
and head to make sure that the mount
ing was real silver. Then she took an
otner look at herself in the glass, and
came downstairs, carrying the calumet
OF peace enclosed in its case.
She found Jasper sitting with Eve
On the bench where she had left thend
Iney at once made way for her He
rose, and refused to sit till she had
taken his place.

CHAPTER xxxvII.
The Pipe of Peace.

Barbara went to her room. She ran
up the stairs; her stateliness was gone
when she was out of sight. She bolted
her door. threw herself on her knees
beside her bed, and buried her face
in the counterpart.
