CHAPTER VII.

Although David did not know the
exact route the quack had laid out
for his Journey, he was certain that
1t would be easy enough to trace him
in that sparsely- settled region, and so
ne turned his face in the direction in
which the equipage vanished when he
watched 1t from the barn.
It was not until the light OF morn
ing struggled through this universal
gloom that the weary and bedraggled
traveller entered the outskirts OF the
then struggling but growing and busy
village Of Hamilton. Tired in body
and benumbed in mind, he made his
way to the hotel, conscious only Of his
desire and determination to look once
more upon the face Of the woman
whose Image was so indelibly impress
ed upon his mind.
Approaching the desk he nervously
asked If the doctor was among the
guests, flushed at the answer, demand
ed a room, ascended the steep saair-
case, and was soon in bed and asleep.
Fatigued by his long tramp, he did not
awaken until after noon, and then,
having bathed, dressed and broken his
long fast, he knocked at the door OF
the room occupied by the doctor and
his wife.
There was quick but gentle step
in answer to his summons. and at the
music Of that football his heart beat
tumultuously. The door opened, and
before him stood the woman who had
brought about this mysterious train
OF events in his life.
She started back as she saw him
with an involuntary and timid motion
but SO great was her surprise and Joy
that she could not control her speech
or action sufficiently to greet him.
Who is is there?" cried the doctor
in his loud, imperative voice.
"Mr. Corson," she answered in tones
that were scarcely audible.
"Corson? Who is Corson, and wha,
does he want?" he asked, rising and
approaching the door.
The instant his eyes fell on the
countenance Of the Quaker. he threw
up both hands and uttered a prolong
ed whistle Of astonishment.
The preacher" he exclaimed, The
lost is found. The p-p-prodigal has
returned. Come in. and let US k-k-kil
the fatted calf"
Coarse as the welcome was, 1t was
full of sincerity, and its heartiness was
like balm to the wounded spirit of the
youth. He grasped the extended hand
and permitted himself to be drawn in
TO the room.
Pepeeta, who had recovered from the
first shock Of surprise and delight
came forward and greeted him with a
shy reserve. She gave him her hand
and its gentle touch terminated his
soul She smiled at him-a gracious
emile, and it's light illumined the dark
ness OF his heart. His sadness van
ished. He once more felt an emotion
of Joy.
The excitement of their meeting
having subsided they seated them
selves. David in an easy chair. the
doctor on the broad couch, and Pc
peeta on a little ottoman at his feet

CHAPTER VI.-(Continued.

He did not dare communicate this
story even to his sister; for If she
knew nothing he feared to poison her
existence by telling her, and If she
knew all he had not the courage to
listen to the sequel Perhaps no other
experience in life produces a more pro-
found shock than q discovery like that
upon which David had so suddenly
stumbled, 1t leads TO despair or to
melancholy, and many life OF high
est promise has been suddenly wreck
ed by ii. While he brooded over this
mystery the days slipped past the
young mystic almost unnoted he wan
dered about the farm, passing from
one At Of abstra action into another, do
Ing nothing, saying nothing, thinking
everything.
He tried to look forward to the fu-
ture with hope. But how can a man
hope for harvests when all his seed
corn has been destroyed? If his faith
er was bad, what hope was there that
he could be better?
He made innumerable resolves to
take up the duties of life where he had
laid them down. but they were all like
birds which die in the nest where they
are born.
Pepeeta was drawing him irresisti-
bly, to herself; he was like man In
the outer circle of a vortex OF which
she was the center. The touch of her
soft hand which he could still feel, the
farewell glance OF eyes which still
glowed before his Imagination. at
tracted him like a powerful magnet.
1t was true that he did not know
where she was; but he felt that he
could find her in the uttermost parts
of the earth by yielding himself to the
impulse which had awakened in his
heart.
"A dark veil of mystery hangs over
my past My present is full Of misery
and unrest l will see II the future
has any joys in store for me-" he said
to himself at the close of one Of his
restless days.
Without so much as word of fare
well, he crept out Of the house in the
gathering dusk, and started in pursuit
OF the bright object that floated like
will-o' the wisp before his inner eye.
A feeling Of exultation and relief
seized him as he left the place made
dark and dreadful by the memory OF
had so recently passed; the quiet of
the evening soothed his perturbed spir-
Its, and the tranquil stars looked down
upon him with eyes that twinkled as
II In sympathy.
