“ I am sorry to be late, mother,” the lad
said, kissing the old lady. “ I have been
down at the docks all day, and have been
busy and worried."
Mr*. Dimsdale waa sitting In her chair
beside the fire knitting when her son came
In At- the sound o f his voice she glanced
anxiously up at his face, with all her
motherly instincts on the alert.
“ What is It. my boy?” she said. “ You
don't look yourself. Something has gone
wrong with you. Surely you’ re not keep­
ing anything secret from your old moth-
“ Don’t be so foolish as that, my boy,”
said the doctor earnestly. “ I f you have
anything on your mind, out with it.
There’s nothing so far wrong but that it
can be set right, I'U be bound.”
Thus pressed, their son told them all
that had happened, the rumor which he
had heard from Von Banmser at the Cock
and Cowslip, and the subsequent visit to
Ecclteton square. " I can hardly realise
It all yet," he said in conclusion. “ My
head seems to be ia a whirl, and I can’t
reason about it."
The old couple listened very attentively
to his narrative, and were silent some lit­
tle time after he had finished. His mother
A n t broke the silence. “ I w u always
sure,” aka-said, ‘That we were wrong to
atop oar correspondence at the request o f
Mr. Girdleetone.”
“ It'a easy enough to m y that now,"
■aid Tam ruefully. “ A t the time it seem­
ed u if ws had no alternative.”
“ There’s no use crying over spilt milk,”
remarked the old physician, who had been
very grave during hie eon’s narrative.
“ We must set to work and get things
right again. There h one thing very cer­
tain, Tom, aad that is that Kate Harston
is a girl who never did or could do a
dishonorable thing. I f she mid that she
would wait for you, my hoy, yon may feel
perfectly safe; aad K yon doubt her for
one moment yon ought to be deuced well
uktiB fd of yourself.”
“ Well said, governor !** cried Tom, with
beaming face. “ Now that is exactly my
owa feeling, bat there Is so much to be
explained. Why-have they left London,
and where have they gone to?”
“ No doubt that old ecoundrel Girdle-
stone thought that your patience would
soon come to an end, ao he got tbw start
o f you by carrying the girt off into the
country.”
“ And if he has done this, what can I
dor
“ Nothing.
It is entirely within his
right to do it.”
“ And have her stowed away in some
little cottage in the country, with that
brute Esra Girdleetone hanging round her
all the time. It is the thought o f that
that driven me wild.”
“ You trust in her, my boy," mid the
•Id doctor. “ W e’ll try our best in the
•meantime to find out where she has gone
to. I f she ia unhappy or needs a friend
you may be sure that she will write to
“ Y«a, there is always that hope,” ex­
claimed Tots, in s more cheerful voice.
“ To-morrow I may learn something at the
office.”
“ Don’t make the mistake of quarreling
with the Girdlestone«. After all they are
within their rights ia doing what they
appear to have done.”
“ They may be within their legal rights.”
Tom cried indignantly, “ but the old man
made a deliberate compact with me, which
V has broken."
“ Never mind. Don’t give them an ad­
vantage by losing your temper.” The doc­
tor chatted away over the matter for
aome time, and his words, together with
t|Bse o f hie mother, cheered the young
fellow's heart. Nevertheless, after they
had retired to their rooms. Dr. Dimsdale
continued to be very thoughtful and very
grave. “ I don’t like it,” be said, more
than once. “ I don’t like the idea o f the
poor girl being left entirely in the hands
o f that pair of beauties.”

As she sst opposite to him she could
not keep her eyes from bis hard, angular
face, every rugged feature o f which was
exaggerated by the flickering yellow light
above him. Those deep-set eyes and sunk­
en cheeks had been familiar to her for

the first time, struck her as being terri­
ble? Was it that new expression which
had appeared upon them, that hard, inex­
orable set shout the mouth, which gave

“ You may say what you like o f nto,”
she said bitterly. “ 1 suppose that ia one
o f your privileges as my guardian. You
have no right, however, to speak evil of
my friends.'*
“ You are becoming impertinent," he
answered, and resumed his calculations
in his note book. Kate cowertd back into
her corner again, while the train thun­
dered and screeched and rattled through
the darkness. Looking through the steamy
window nothing eras to be seen save the
twinkle bare and there of the lights of
the scattered country cottages. Occasion­
ally a red signal lamp would glare down
upon her like the bloodshot eye of some
demon who presided over this kingdom of
iron and steam. Far behind n lurid trail
of smoke marked the way that they had
come. Tq Kate’s mind it was all as weird
and gloomy and cheerless even as the
thoughts within her.
And they were gloomy enough. Where
was she going? How fong was she going
for? What was she to do when there?
On ail these points she was absolutely
.ignorant. What waa the object o f this
sudden flight from London? Her guardian
could have separated her from the Dime-
dales in many lees elaborate ways than
this. Couid it be that he intended some
system of pressure and terrorism by which
she should be forced to accept Esra as a
suitor? She clenched her little white
teeth as she thought of it, and registered
a vow that nothing in this world would

weatherbeaten heraldic device. Passing
through thej turned up a winding avenue,
with linea o f treea on either aide, which
shot their branches ao thickly above them
that they might have been driving through
some aombey tunnel. This avenue termin­
ated In an open space, in the midst of
which towered a great irregular white­
washed building, which was the old P ri­
ory
A ll below it was swathed in dark­
ness, but the upper windows caught the
glint of the moon, and emitted a pallid
and sickly glimmer. The whole effect was
so weird and gloomy that Kate felt her
heart sink within her.
The wagonette
pulled up In front of the door, and Qlr-
dlcetone assisted her to alight.
There had been no lights or any Symp­
toms o f welcome, but as they pulled down
the trunks the door opened and a ’ little
old woman appeared with a candle in hat
band, which she carefully shaded from the
wind while she peered out into the dark-
“ Is that Mr. Girdleetone?” she cried.
“ O f course it la,” the merchant said Im­
patiently. “ Did I not telegraph and tell
you that I was coming?”
“ Yea, yea," she answered, hobbling fo r­
ward with the light. “ And this is tbs
young lady? Come In, my dear; come in.
We have not got things very smart yet,
but they will soon come right.”
She led the way through a lofty hall
into a large sitting room, which, no doubt;
had been the monkish refectory in bygone
days. It looked very bleak and cold now,
although a small fire sputtered and spar­
kled in the corner o f the great iron grate.
There waa a pan upon the fire, and the
deal table in the center o f the room was
laid out roughly as for a meal. The can­
dle, which the old woman had carried in,
was the only light, though the dickering
fire cast strange fantastic shadows in the
further corners and among the great oak­
en rafters which forae*. the ceiling.
“ Come up to the fire, my dear,” «aid the
old woman. “ Take off your cloak and
warm yourself.” She held her owp shriv­
eled arms towards the blase, as though
her short exposure to the night air had
chilled her. Glancing at her, Kate saw
