CHAPTER xxxlV.
Some Time Later.

Some Time Later.
The little Norman isle, homo Of
Pierre Laroche, SO wild and bleak
looking many months Of the year, re-
sembles a towering garden in the
spring; then, its lap full Of buds and
blossoms, smiling, redolent, it lifts
itself from the broad bosom Of the
deep. And all the light embellish-
ments of the golden time it sets forth
.daintiIy; fringing the black cliffs with
clusters Of sea campion, white and
frothy as the spray, trailing green ivy
from precipitous heights to the verge
Of the wooing waters, whose waves
seem to, creep up timorously, peep into
the many caves, bright with sea-anem-
ones, and retreat quickly, as awed by
a sudden glimpse of fairyland.
Near the entrance Of one Of these
magical chambers, abloom with
strange, scentless flowers, sat, GER
tain afternoon in April, man and a
woman, who, looking out over the blue
sea, conversed in desultory fashion.
From what your father tells me,
Mistress Nanette," the man, an aged
priest, was speaking, "the Seigneur
Desaurac should be here today?"
'My father had letter from him a
few days ago to that effect" answered
the young woman somewhat shortly.
LET me see," apparently the old
man did not notice the change in his
companions manner, che has been
away now about a year? It was in
July he brought the Governors daugh-
ter to the island one day and sailed
the next!" Nanette made a move
ment. "How time fiies!" he sighed.
"Let us hope it assuages grief, as they
say! You think she is contented
hers?"
"The Lady Elise? Why not? At
least, she seems so; has with her,
her old nurse, my aunt, who fortu-
nately escaped from the Mount"
'But the death Of her father? It
must have been a terrible blow-one
not easy to forget!"
"of course" said Nanette slowly,
sue mas IeIL his loss.
The old man gazed down. 'I have
sometimes wondered what she knows
about the causes Of the enmity that
existed between his ExceIlency and
the Black Seigneur?"
The others eyes lifted keenly.
when last did you see her, Father?"
"She comes often to my cottage to |
walk and"
'Talk?"
well, yes!" The fine, spiritual face
expressed twinge Of uneasiness.
About the past?"
The priest shifted slightly. Some
times! An old man lives much in the |
past and it is natural to wander on
a bit aimlessly at times, and"
Confess, Father, she has learned |
much from you?" Nanette laughed.
mo, no; trust"
"Surmised, theni" said the girl.
"She is one not easily deceived. CIev-
er is my ladyI And you talk, she
says nothing, but leads you on! If
there's aught she wishes to learn that
you know, be assured she's found out
from your lips"

woman quickly.
