Hut I told myself sensibly that more than ono man on tho coast of Normandy might bo wearing white flannels that evening and, turning to my companion, found that sho had moved some steps away from mo and was gazing eastward to the sen. I concluded that she bnd not seen the figure The round moon was whlto and at Jts smallest, high overhead, when ot midnight I stopped out of tho phncton iu which Miss Elizabeth sent mo back ! to Mine, lirossard's. When my lamp was extinguished I set my door ajar, moved my bed out from the wall to catch whatever breezo might stir, "composed myself for tho night," oh It used to bo written, and lay looking out upon tho quiet garden, whoro a thin white hare was rising. Just as 1 had begun to drowso tho gallery steps croaked juid tho noblo form of Keredec emerged upon my Held of vision. From tho absence of thn sound of footsteps I supposed him to bo elthor bnrufooted or In his stock ings. Ills visible costume consisted of a Bleeping Jacket tucked Into a pair of trousers, while his tousled hair and board and generally tossed nnd rum pled look wero thoso of a man who had becu lying down temporarily. I hoard him slgh-IIke one sighing for sleep-a s ho wont noiselessly across the garden nnd out through tho arch way to tho road. At tbut 1 sat straight up In bod to stare, and woll I might, for bore was a miracle! Ho lu.d lifted his arms above his head to stretch himself comfortubly. mid ho wulked upright and nt case, whereas when I hud last seen him the night before he had been able to do llttlo moro than crawl, bent far over ond loaning pain fully, upon his friend. Never man bo held a more ustonlsblug recovery from a bad case of rbouinutlsm. After ii long look dowu the road he rvttiut'd his steps, .mil the uiooullgut, HlrlldiiK ucrOHN his great tore heart an he clime, re von led the furrows plowed there by an anxiety of which I guunned llio einiNu, Tho creaklilg of the wood en malm and gallery mid tliu whine of an old door announced that hu had re turned to his vigil. I lnul perhapN, a quarter of nn hour to consider this performance, when It wan repented: now, however, ho only glanced out Into tho road, retreating hantlly, mid I now that he wan smil ing, while the speed tin maintained In returning to his ijuarters wuh remark able for one no nowly convalescent. The next moment Hnltren enrno through the nrcliwny, ascended tho Htepn In turn-bin nlowly nnd careful ly, as If fearful of waking his gunrd Ian -ami I heard his door closing very gently, liug before Ills arrival, how ever, I had been certain of his Identity with the ilgure mid seen gaxlng up at the terraces ot Queminy from tho borders of tho grove. Other iiiestlons remained to bother mo: Why had Ker edec not prevented this night roving, and why, since tie did Hrmlt It. should he conceal Ills knowledge of It ironi Oliver? And what, oh, what wontUous specHle had the mighty man found for tils dlseiiMe' A note Iny beside my plate next morning addressed In a writing strnngo to me, one or dastilng and vigorous character, It read; in ttio punult or thrilling sclftntlno r march, wtioi wiili tho tumult which pos tm(l in), I forum to mention tho bond thnt Ifhns us. 1, too. am a pnlntor, though nn yet unhonorcd nna unhune.

At tho chateau, having a mind to of fer some sort of apology, 1 looUcd anx iously about for the subject of our rather disquieting conversation, but she was not to be seen until the party, usscmbled at the tnble, set under an awning on the terrace. Mrs. Barman had not appeared at all. having gone to call upon some one at Dives, I was told, and, n servant informing mo, on Inqnlry, that Mlsa Elliott had retired to her room, 1 was thrust upon my own devices indeed.
