“ Did you post my note?” asked Kate.
“ Yen; in course I did.” he answered.
“ It’ll be in Lunnon now, most like.” His
one eye moved about in such a very shifty
way aa he spoke that she was convinced
that be was telling a lie. She could not
be sufficiently thankful that «he had some
thing else to rely upon besides the old
scoundrel’s assurances.
There was nothing to be seen down the
lane except a single cart with a loutish
young man walking at the home’s head.
She had a horror of the country folk since
her encounter with the two bumpkins
□(■on the Sunday. She therefore slipped
away iron» the gate and went through
the wood to the shed, which she mounted.
On the other side of the wall there was
standing a little hoy in buttons, so rigid
and motion less that he might be one of
Madame Tuasaud's figures, were it not for
his eyes, which were rolling about in ev
ery direction, and which finally fixed
themselves on Kata's face.
“ tlood-morn in’, miss," «aid this appari

“ Good-morning,”
she answered. “ I
think 1 saw yon with Mrs. Scully yester
day?"
“ Yea, miss. Missus, she told me to wait
tore and never to move until 1 seed you.
She said as yon would be sure to come.
I ’ve been waitin’ here for nigh on aa
hour."
“ Your mistress is an angel,” Kate said
enthusiastically, “ and you are a very good
little boy.”
“ Indeed, you’ve hit it about the mis
sus," said the youth, an n hoarse whisper,
nodding hio head to emphasise his re
marks.
“ She’s got a heart as is big
enough for three.”
Kate could not help smiling at the en
thusiasm with which the little
fellow
spoke.
“ You seem fond of her.” she mid.
“ I'd be a bod ’un if I wasn’t. She took
aw out of the work'us without character
or nothing, and she's «-educatin' o f me.
She sent me ’ere with s message.”
“ What was it?“
“ She said as how site had written in

“ She wrote to Major— Major— him as

“ No, no. Not at all,” Kate answered,
smiling again. “ You can tell her that my

wannest thanks for her kindness.”
“ AH right, miss. Say, that chap at the

“ No, no, John.”
John looked at her suspiciously. “ I f he

“ Don't do anything o f the sort. John,

“ All right, miss. Good-by to ye f”
Kate watched him stroll down the lane.
He paused at the bottom as if irresolute,
and then she was relieved to see him throw
tto stone over into a turnip field, and
walk rapidly off in the opposite direction
to the Priory gates.
CH APTER XX.
Late in the afternoon Exra arrived at
the Priory. From one of the passage
windows Kate saw him driving np the
avenue in a high dogcart. There was s
broad-shouldered, red-bearded man sitting
beside him, and the ostler from the Flying
Kail was perched behind. Kate bad rush

tor friends had come sooner than »be

her that the hope was vain. From behind
a curtain she watched them alight and
