CHAPTER VIII.
The Old Watch-Tower.

A wall! A window-a prison-like
interior! AS her eyes opened, the
Governors daughter strove confusedly
to decipher her surroundings. The
wall seemed real; the narrow window,
too, high above, framing, against a
darkening background. a slant Of fine
rain! Again she closed her eyes, only
to be conscious of gentle languor; (;
a heaviness like that Of half-sleep; OF
bodily heat, and also little bodily
pain. For an indefinite period, really
a moment or two. she resigned herself
to that dreamy torpor; then. with an
effort, lifted her lashes once more.
AS she gazed before her, something
bright seemed leaping back and forth;
a fiame-that played on the wall; re-
vealing the joints between the stones
of massive masonry; casting shadows,
but to wipe them out; paling near
small window. the only aperture ap-
parent in the cell-like place. Turning
from the chickering's. her glance quick
ly sought their source-a fire in a
hearth, before which she lay-or half
sat, propped against stone.
But why? The spot was strange; in
her ears sounded buzzing, like the
murmur Of a waterfall. She remem-
bered now; she had fingered before
one-in the woods; and Saladin had
run away, madly, across the sands,
until-my lady raised her hand to
her brow; abruptly let 1t fall. In the
shadow on the other side Of the hearth
some one moved; some one who had
been watching her and who now
stepped out into the light.
Are you better?" said voice.
She stared. On the bold, swarthy
features of young man now standing
and looking down at her. the light
iared and cleaned; the open shirt re-
vealed muscular throat; the down
turned black eNes were steady. solicit

the wooing green crept out from the
forest as far as 1t might, did she
draw rein. Saladin stopped, albeit
with protest. tossing his great head.
You might as we'll make an end OF
that, sir!" said the girl, and, spring
ing from the saddle, deftly secured
him. Then turning her back toward
the Mount, a shadowy pyramid in the
distance, she seated herself in the
grass with her eyes to the woods.
Not long, however, did my lady re-
main thus; soon rising, she walked
toward the shadowy depths. At the
verge she paused; her brows grew
thoughtful; what was 1t the woods
recalled? Suddenly, she remembered
"a boy she had met the night she
left for school 30 long ago, had told
her he lived in them. She recalled,
too, as child, how the woman, Marie,
who had been maid to her mother,
had tried to frighten her about that
sequestered domain, with tales OF
fierce wild animals and unearthly
creatures, visible and invisible, that
roamed within.
She had no fear now, though faint
rustlings and pulsation of sound
held her listening. Then, through the
leafy interstice, cleaning and fash
ing, as II some one were throwing
jewels to the earth, lured her on to
the cause Of the seeming enchant-
ment-a tiny waterwall!
The moment passed; still she lin
gered. Around the Mounts high top,

regarded her amicably from niche
OF green. A butterfly, poised and
waving its wings, held her long
time-until she was suddenly aroused
by the wood growing darker. Raising
her eyes, she saw through the green
foliage overhead that the bright sky
had become sunless. At the same time
rumbling detonation, faint, far-or.
broke in upon the whisperings and
tinklings Of that wood nook. Getting
up, che stood for moment listening;
then walked away.
Near the verge Of the sand, Saladin
greeted her with impatience, tossing
his head toward the darkening heav.
ems. Nor did he wait until she was
fairly seated before starting back at
| rapid gate along the shore. But the
girl offered no protest; her face
showed only enjoyment. A little wild

said simply.
Her gaze returned to the fire. But
the tide was rushing in-rushing! it

into which his hands were thrust; OBJ

then arose unsteadily. II know-it

"Your Ladyship is no coward!" he
interrupted, sparkle in his eyes.
when you turned the horse toward
the tide, I was watching; hoping you
would dare, and you did!"
About to reply, she became once
more aware she was still very dizzy
from the fall ON the sand; the shapely
figure swayed and she put out her
hand with gesture Of helplessness.
At the same time, the man reached
forward quickly and caught her. A
moment was she conscious OF firm
grasp; dark, anxious gaze bent upon
her; then, slid gently back to the
stone seat.
A brief interval, and gradually she
began to see again more distinctly
a mans face, not far from hers; face
that drew back aB her own look

now stood, his bearing at once erect
and buoyant, and more curiously she

selves strongly on the dark, handsome

written on the bold, self-reliant brow.

The young man turned. "Your

dh not ask herself where. The inter.
val between what she last remem-
bered on the beach--the rush and
swirl of water--and what she woke to,
absorbed the hazy workings OF her
mind.
The young man stopped; stirred the
hre, and after a pause, apparently to
give her time to collect her thoughts,
repeated his question: Are you bet

"oh, yes" she said, with an effort,
half sitting up. And then irrelevantly,
with rather a wild glance about her:

"A little-not much" A smile
crossed the dark features.
