3oth Miss La -roixand myself waited
impatiently for news irom Freeman in
London. Trom day to day I exacted
a letter; and day after day, when I met
her either in Jacques's cottage or in
the littie clotigh beyond Timperley
Hall, I had to tell her that no letter
had come. She quickly began to siiow
signs of that heart sickness, w hich in
the young is so ready to follow upon
the steady, indefinite postponement of
hope. In my efforts to encourage her
I encouraged myself also to Wieve
that an Overruling Power was holding
this mystery in hand for some great
purpose, only to reveal it eventually
with the more force and effect.
One evening when I met her in the
dough we were both startled and
silenced by the clear, full note of a
bird a liquid "joug-joug."
"Is it a thrush?" I haid in a whisper.
She listened breathless, almost pant

CHAPTER IX.
The end of my six months' curacy
was almost at hand, but, since my re
cent discovery, I was resolved I would
still remain at least in the neighbor
hood of Timperley. I went first to the
rector, who was not yet well enough to
resume his duties, in the hope that I
might prevail upon him to iet me con-
! tinue to fill his place for some time
longer. I was surprised, and somewhat
piqued. to hear that it was entirely out
, of tiie question, localise another curate
I had already been engaged.
"A young man from St. Bee's," said
:he rector. "Mr. Steinhardt says we
i mast have no more clever men in Tim
perley. I would nave liked you very
well to stay, but you know you see it
can't lie. If I can do anything for
you "
I said, since I could not stay in Tim
perley, I wi-hed to get a curacy some
where in the neighborhood. The rec
tor looked at me in a way which made !
me doubt whether I had been wise to j
tell him my desire. However, he '
answered he would eee what he could ,
do. ;
Steinhardt, it was evident, expected
me to go away, back to the south prob
ab y, since I disliked Timperley so
much; but I metaphorically shook my
Croydon evidence at him and more ob
stinately resolved not to go away. !
There happened at that time to 1m? sev
eral curacies vacant in neighboring
pari-hes or districts: I applied first for
one with the result after some time of
having my application declined, and
then for another, with the same result.
1 was disappointed and puzzled, I knew
1 had been reckoned successful in Tim
periey, and 1 couid not understand the
coldness and reticence of the replies I
received. But I was soon startled into
the perception of their cause.
Loui-e and I had got into the habit
of meeting frequently (as I have already
hinted) at the cottage of old Jacques:
ne were still waiting for news from
King's Cross, and we did not know
whether the letter was to le sent to me,
or to Feenian, or to Miss Lacroix.
Louise met me one morning in great
alarm and hurriedly told me the ex
pected letter had come, but addressed
to Mr. Lacroix that Steinhardt there
fore had opened it, naturally exacting
to find it a business communication!
He brought it to her, and asked if she
knew what it meant. She read it;, it
was short, and to this effect: The
guard who had had charge of the 8
o'clock express on the evening of March
the lflth. 1882, had been found and in
terrogated: he could not remember
anyone answering to the description of
the missing gentleman. He might or
might not have traveled by that train,
