fifteen y ears ago Barmouth wu a quiet
litoe village. Trie whistle or the l-on
bone was not to be heard within many
ird within many

tween Dolgelly and Carnarvon
was

betel and some half-dozen shops and other
bouses where lodging were to be obtained ;
but slliht ma waa the accommodation it
Ail It equaled the demand.
. "Just t he place for a fellow rn be able to

He had hi sketchinz-tiook under his
arm and hia colnr-hox In his torkef. and
fitting down on the sand hill he set rapld
. ly to work. For an hour and a half he
worked steadily, and tlien the bright bit ot
color and trie clilkl moved on toward ine

"Please may I look at your picture f
He nodded silently, and went on with
bis painting.
"Oh, cousin Amy, such a iretty pic
ture ! and there are you on the rock. Do
look- !
The girl glanced at the artist, but neither
by look nor motion did he second the
child reaueat - and with a Utile ahnv ol
ber shoulders site turned away, and walked
a slowly until overtaken by her cousin.
"What a bear I am !" the young man
aid to himself. I ought to have got tip
and grinned and taken off my hat, I suppose,

And he want an with his painting." "One

"'ITiat rising tide has ei ven her a ti leht,"
he said to himetf, "and they've taken to
the hills. R uber a nn!ance, because I
have done with these tints and shall be
doing the hills myself. However, thry
are extensive enouzh without runnins
against each other, as we alway seemed to
oe doing nere."
In fact, as Huzb and his acquaintances
took their meals at about the same hour.
and both came In at the verr last moment
before tbem, It is not singular that each
day tltey had, either moraine afternoon or
recinc met at least once In the qntt-t
l street ; and each time Hnjfrt raise
his hat. Miss Herbert bowed tffgidly,' and
her Htt!e cousin nodded brightly. Once
when lie na&sed the door of tlif Ir lodzine.
Jnt as they were going In. the child ran
acrom the road a htrr comin entereii, and
iMit her hand into hi, and talked to him
tor two or thre minutes, and convi-re-J to
htm the thanks ot her iiianiiii::," who was
not strong, and did not go out much, tor
having cjirrleil her a ncross tlie thle. For'
the next three days Hugh Carson was en -
Cnged in painting a iiictiircsque old farm
house lying far on tlie hill. The subject
was a good one aud be set to produce a
finished picture on the spot, ami worked
at it from early morning, as long a th
light lasted, makiue bi breakfast and
lunch ot milk and bread and cheese obtain
ed at tlie larm house. TJnon tlie third
evening he was returning from his work,
walking along the edge of the hill, looking
down upon tlie sea. when be came upon
the little girl lying on the ground, crying
bitterly.
Why. little one, what is the matter ?"
Tlie child, who bad not Iward him ap
proaching, leaped to her feet, and unon
seeing who it was, a iook ot pleasure flash
ed id oss her tear-stained face.
"Oh, please sir, do beln me ! Cousin
Amy baa tumbled down the hill !"
"Good gracious, child, wheie ha she
fallen?" Hugh said In horror: for the
spot wliere they stood was above one of
the steepest slope between Barmouth and
Harlt-cb.
'Down there, sir : she was Dickinc a
flower whe.i she slipped : and I cau't set
at lier, but can see her."
And the ehild led the young artist to a
point further on, where I he plateau Dro-
jected, ami the face of the hill where Amy
had fallen was visible.
The slope where she had slisned was
very steep, but beciuie even steeper lower
uuwn. luen a rocky ledge projected, and
below it an abrunt nrccii.iee soma fiftv
leet high. Amy Herbert lay on the ledge.
6lie had rolled down on to it, and had
evidently struck her head, for he was iu-
ensiuie. nil ledge was some three feet
wide; and. front the position in which
the girl lay. It was probable that at the
flrt inoveiuerit made a she came to she
would roll over the edgi.
AH right, little one : don't crv : I will
get to cousin Amy. She has hurt herself,
Out I dare say sbe will be all right when
I get to tier." .
Hugh spoke clieerfully. but he was bv no
means sure mat (lie elrl wa not killed.
lie looked closely at the grassy slope. It
wa easy enough to slide down" ; but there
was no getting up again. He was fully
v
mile and a halt from tlie town ; but -he
dared not run tor aid, for if tlie girl par
daily recovered ane mirfit be dasberi to
pieces betoie bis return. It was evident
that he must slide down to he". But tlie
child puzzled him. He wa afraid to send
ner to tne village by herself, afraid to
leave her alone on the ton : besides, if
tliey were to stand on that ledge till help
came it would be much more nleawmt
wlih tlie child there, both for Amy and
himself.
lAxk here, Piusy," he said, after j
miume's th mh, -will y.,u he a eood

Very anxiously the young artist lifted

nad nowed from a wound just above the
ear. He put hi fingers to her wrist, and,
after a minute ot anxious susnensinn. h.
felt very faint flickering pulse.
"Thank God 1" he murmured devoutly.
Then he took out a whisky- flask aiul
ponred a few drops between the clinched
teeth. Again and again he did this, the
child ail he time sitting perfectly auiet
and watching with quief, frightened eyes.
Presently the girl sighed faintly.
'Take bold of cousin Amy's band."
Hugh said, "and when you see her open
ber eyes tpeak to her eentlr. Tell her to
lie still, put your face close to hers, so tbat
she mar see you when she oiiens her eyes.
Hugh was sitting on tlie ground support
ing the elrl. whose head rested on his
shoulder. Presently there was a move'
ineiit of the eyelid and theu slowly and
languidly the eyes opened.
"There, cousin Amy. you are better
now. Lie anite auiet. You have turt
yourself, ami must be vary good.""
The eyes expressed recognition and a
aint wonder, and then closed aetitn. Hugh
walked a little and tlien poured a few more
drops of whisky between her lips. This
ttme the effect waa more decided. . She
moved, shook her head and tried to avoid
the mouth of tlie fl.uk. Then she looked
up ngiin.
"What is it ?" she said faintly. "What
are you doing ? Where am I ?"
"Yon must be qutet and good." the
child said positively. "Yon must not
move, the srentleman savs so."
This time tlie speech waa vaguely undi-r-
stjod, lor she looked beyond the child's
face to that ot Hneh.. closed her evc
again, a it she doubted thorn, looked
again, mid then she mnd nu effort to raiie
her head. Then flush siioke. ireutfv but
decidedly :
"My dear young lady, you must lie
quite quiet. You have fallen down and
hurt yoiirseli. and you are taint and weak
You are quite safe where you are. bnt ynu
cannot move, tor we re on the side of the
hill, and inut wait till help comes. Your
cousin is here with you. Klsa her. Pussy."
Amy Herbert lUtened in a sort of con
fused wonder. She did not understand In
the least, except that she was told to be
qutet in firm authoritative tones, . such as
had not been addressed to her since she
was a child. The warm kiss of her little
cochin seemed to assure tier that all was
right, and with a little sigh she closed her
eyes again, and waa soon breathing quiet
ly. Then the child turned to Hugh.
"Amy's gone to sleep. My nams Isn't
Pussy, but Ida Ida Herbert,"
"All right. Ma. I'll call you so In fu
ture. Now, Ida, when you stand up. can
yon see the road down below there ?"
"Fust see it." the child said; "but it Is
geti ing dark. When are we going home ?"
'I am afraid we are not going home to
night, Ida. Certainly not unless some one
comes along that road, - and there Is not
much chance of that."
"Where are we to sleep f " Ida asked
in surprise.
"We must slepp just where we are.
Cousin Amy w'll sleep here, and you shall
cur! up close to me and lay vour
head
dou't
ngalutt me on the other side, and I
think you'll be cold."
"But I want supper before I go to bed."
"Ah you can't have supper to-night,
Ida ; but it will lie great fun, you know,
sleeping out liere for a bit, and I expect
that presently your mamma'will send peo
ple out to look for you, and then we shall
hear them shout and we shall shout back
again, and then they'll come with some
ropes and iip we shall go to tlie top. Now
shall I tell you a story ?" -
"Oh. yes. please." Ida said, delighted.
"Will you sit quiet by me, then ? and
when you fee! sleepy you just lay your

neau uimii hiiii ou u Sleep. I Will go
on with my story till you're asleeu : but
we must talk very low, else we shall awake
cousin Amy."
For an hour he told stories of fairies aud
enchanters, and then the little head leaned
gradually against his waistcoat, ami in tlvi
mlnntes he stopped in tlie middle of Ids
narrative. Then Amy Herbert spoke
I am cot asleep ; I have been awake
for some time., and have been thlnkimr
You are the gentleman who rescued Ida off

"Yes." Hugh said.
"I thought so. Now. please, how came

"O't I move " the girl asked, present
ly.
'Are yotr uncomfortable ?" '
"No," she said, thyly.
"Then you had better He still," Ilneh
said decisively. "The ledge is very narrow
and you are weak, and I dare say elddr.
for you lost a great deal ot blood. So you
really might fall over if yon sat up. With
my arm round you, you are quite safe
And Hugh emphasized the tact by draw
ing ner still more closely to him. Her
slight figure yielded to the pressure, and
ith a little movement, which was very
like the nestle with which Ida had oretac-
eci ner subsidence to sleep. Amy Herbert

lay quiet, and In a very few mlnntes Hugh
was sure from her regular breathinir that
she too was asleep.
"It must be nearly 10 o'clock." Hmrh
said to himself . "I should think we ought
very soon to get out of this.4 The old lady
will be fidgety at half-past 7. alarmed at
half-past 8, and by half-past 9 sheoueht to
have all Barmouth out with torches. But
women are so long before they set about a
thing in earnest. Tbey bertn to flriot
long before a man does ; bnt they don't
set to work to take decided steps: Still,
searcners ought to be out by this time ; I
am beg Inning to feel horrible cramped. I
suppose some fellows would like this sort
ot thing, but t dou't see any point io it
whatever."
In another quarter of an hour Hash saw
eevcral lights coming along the road be-
low, and could hear faint shouts, which
seemed to be echoed by a party proceed
ing along tlie bill. They -Were moving
but slowly, tor there were lights half way
up ttie race, aud tliey were evidently
searching very eareftuty. Tlie wind waa
from them, and it was useless for Hugh to
try and return flitir shoots. Gradually
tliey got nearer, and he determined to
make an effert. but to do so it was necessary
to stand up. He moved slightly, and tlie
elder girl moved also.
-Wake up, please," he said ; help Is
at liaiid." :
She raised herself up.
"I do think I have been asleep. I feel
ever so much better."
"I will stand up to shor.t." Hugh said
"Will you lean back against the hill P I
will lay your cousin down with her head
in your tap. She is as somid aa atop
Now tor It!" And; standinfi 4p. Hugh
gave a shout with all the power of his
lungs.
There was a pause to tlie movement of
the lanterns, and then a shout. Jr
"HaJlo-a-a !" Hugh shouted again
this way !"
Rapidly the lanterns came flitting along
the rood they were down in front of
them.
"Here we are ! here are the ladies !"
Hugh shouted.
"Any one hurt ?"
Not much ; bnt we can't get either up
or down. You must let a rope down for
us from above. Here we are" ; and Hugh
struck a match and lighted a large piece of
paper.
"Have the party above gut ropes V
Tliere was shouting backward and for
ward, but the party above bad not got
ropes.
'Send back for tbem at once," Hugh
shouted. t4and be sure and tell the lady
that no da ma ire is done here."
How do you feel now ? I wa going to
say cousin Amy;" he laughed ; but I
really haven't tlie pleasure of knowing
your name."
"Amy Herbert?" K
'How do yon feel now. Miss Herbert ?"
I feel weak aud rather headachy," she
said ; "but there Is nothine really the
matter with me. W hat an escape I have
had f "
"Yes, you had a narrow sqneak of it,"
nugh said frankly ; just another pound
or two of impetus and you would have
gone over the ledee.
She wa silent and be went on : 1
Do you object to smoke t Because if
r
yon don't I should renlly like to light my
"Not at all," Amy said.
"There's something comfortable about a
pipe," Hugh said wben It was fairljr
alight ; "somehow one can talk wben one
gets a pipe alight."
"I think men can talk at all times."
Amy said, with a flash of Iter usual spirits.
"some men can," Hugh said. "I can
talk with men ; but do you know, some
how I cau't talk with women ? . I can talk
with you now liecause I dout see you. aud
because I am smoking ; but I should feel
horribly uncomfortable if I met vou in the
morning."
"I did not know any men were shy with
women, nowadays," Amy said. . '
"Shy ?" Hugh repeated. Well. ye. I
suppose it Is a sort of shyness with . me.
I never had any Misters, aucTso. you see. I
never got in the way or talking with glrte.
It is very annoying sometimes, and make
people think me a bear. I suppose you
thought so. You mut have doue so."
"Yes," Amy said. -I did think yon
rather a bear. I am not accustomed - to
shy young men, and simply fancied you
did not want to speak to Granger. And
now, please tell uie exactly whit happen
ed, because I shall have to tell aunt, and I
have only a contused idea of what ha tak
en place."
Again Hugh told her the fact.
"Ilien I owe my life to you," the girl
said, when be had finished.
"I really don't think you do." Hugh
said in a matter of tact way. ! question

The girl felt by the tone of Hugh's voice
that tliere was no affection about him
tbat he really felt what he said.
"I may just say "thank you' now P" she
asked quietly.
"Yea, just 'thank you, "he said ilzhtlr.
"If I were a man you would shake bauds
over it ?" the girl asked.
"Yes," Hugh said.
"Please give me your hand
He stooped down and she put her hand
into his.
Thank you," Io a deep, qutet, earnest
voice. .
Then as be rose again, she went on in a
changed voice. ' .
"Now mind, it hi a bargain. We have
shaken bands on it. I am not to be grate
ful, and you are not to be afraid of me. but
re juct to be as natural with me as with
ida." -
That ia a bargain," Hugh said, with a
langb. "I don't think I shall feel shy
with you io tlie future. I never talked so
much with a woman in my life. - I suppose
it a Decause l can;i see your taoe."
"I don't know whether to take that tor
a compliment or the reverse," Amy laugh-
ea.
"Tlie reverse, of course," Hugh said,
laughing too; "compliments are not In
my line. Ah, here they are with the rope
They have been precious quick about it."
And A my Herbert felt there waa a real
compliment In the tones in which he spoke
"Now you mast wake Ida. How soundly
she sleeps ! Now let me help you ou to
your feet."
r.ven wun ine aid or tne rone ic was a
work ot considerable difficulty t get Amy
Herbert up to the top of the slope; for
she waa weak and shaken, and unable to
do much to help herself. At last it was
managed ; and theu she was helped down
a steep path close by the road beloiv, where
-
a carriage from the hotel was waiting for
them.
'Will yea co ae up and see my aunt I"
Amy asked, aa they stocned at - tl

walking up and down his breakfast room
in a towering passion. Ainr was sitting
in a great arm-chair.'
"It l monstrous. It is incredible." Mr.
Herbert exclaimed. "Here you, for whom
I have looked for a capital match, who re
fused three of the very best men in the
district last year, are away for two month
and a half at this beggarly Welsh village,
and you come back and deliberately tell
me uai you nave engaged yourself to an
artist, a fellow I never heard of."
"Dear old daddy," Amy said quietly.
'don't get angry about it. Come and sit
down and talk it over reasonably, as vou
always do thing with me."
i-xo, no. Amy. l know what your
reasonable talking means. I am net to be

competing with the Suez route in carrying;
the European and Australian mails. Spec
i! fast trains are now the order or the day
at both ends or the land route, when tliey
are needed to connect with the New , York
