***<*• •*1 ■ C H A P T E R X X I I . — (Continued.) Another moment and the door was' stealthily opened. Once again the broad golden bar shot out across the lawn al most to the spot where the confederates were crouching. In the center 6f the io n « ot light there stood a figure— the figure o f the girl. Even at that distance they could distinguish the pearl-grey mantle which she usually wore and the close fit ting bonnet. She ha<^ wrapped a shawl round tbe lower part o f her face to pro tect her from tbe boisterous wind. F o r a minute or more she stood peering out into the darkness o f the night, as though un certain w tother to proceed or to gp back. Then, with a quick, sudden gesture she ch-sed the door behind her. The light was no longer there, but they knew that she was outside the.,house, and that the ap pointment would be kept. W hat an age It seemed before they heavd her footsteps. She came very slow ly, patting one foot gingerly before tbr other, as if afraid o f fa lliiw over some thing in the darkness. O n w o r twice she stopped, altogether, looking round, no doubt, to make aura o f her whereabouts. A ; tbe instant the moon shone out from behind a cloud, and they saw her dark figure a short distance off. The light en abled her to see the withered o i f , for she came rapidly towards it. A s she ap proached ah* satisfied herself apparently that she was the finri on tbe ground, for she slackened her ¿ace once more and walked is the listless -way that people as sume when they are waiting. The clouds vrefe overtaking tbe moon again, and the light was getting dimmer, i {* *; “ I can -see her still,” aaid. Esra fn a whisper, grasping his father’s wrist in his excitement. , The old man aaid nothing, but he peers ed through the daYkness with eager, straining eyes. 'f “ There she is, standing oSt a little from tbe oak,” the .young merchant said, pointing with a quivering Unger. "She’s not near enough fo r him to reach bar." •“ He's coming opt fro rathe shadow now,” the other said huskily. ' ‘Don’t you see him crawling along the ground?” “ I see him,” returned «he other same subdued, awestruck voice, has stopped; now he goes on again 1 H e is cloak behind her! She ip looking the other way.” “■ , ’ A thin ray o f light shot down betweba the clouds. In it « silvery radiance trio W stood out hard -and black, that o f one crouched like s beast o f prey behind‘ her. H e made a step forward, which brought him within a yard o f her. ffhe may have heard the W avy footfall above the shriek o f tke storm. Cor she" turned suddenly gad faced him. A t the same instant she was struck down with a crashing blow. -There w as ift> time fo r a prayer, no time fo r a scream. One moment had seen her a mag nificent woman in all tbe pride o f her youthful beauty, the next left her a poor battered senseless wreck. T h e navvy hadv earned hia blood money. J it the sound o f the blow and the sight o f the fall both the old man and ;tbe young ran oq j from their place ¿of conceal ment, . B art was standing over tbe body, •Us bludgeon in- hia band. “ Not even a groan,” he said. ^VVhat d’ye think o f that?” r Girdlestone wrung hia hand and con gratulated him warmly. “ Shall I light V lan tern ?" he asked. “ Don’t ! ” Esra said earnestly. “ I had no ides that you were p (lin k hearted, my son.” the merchant remark ed. “ However. I know the w ay to the gate well enough to go .ahere blindfold. W hat a comfort it ie to know that there is no blood about! T h at’s the advantage o f a stick over a knife.” “ You're correct there, g g v ’nor,” Burt said, approvingly. “ W ill yeu kindly carry one end and I'll take tbe other. I ’ll go first, if yqj» don’t mind, because I know the w iy best. The train w ill pass in less than half an hour, so we have not long to wait. W ithin that time every chance o f detection w ill have gone.” Girdlestone raised up the head o f the murdered girl, and Burt took her fedt. Ezra walked behind as though he were in some dreadful dream. H e had fully rec ognized the necessity fo r the ranrder, but lie had never before realized bow ghastly the details would be. Already he had be gun to repent that he had ever acqui esced in it. Then came thoughts o f the splendid possibilities o f the A frican busi nce». which could only be saved from de- stturtion by this Roman's death. How could he, with his luxurious tastes, bear the squalor and poverty which would be his lot were the firm to fail. Better a rope and a long drop than such a life as th a t! A ll t h e « considerations thronged into bis mind as Re p lo d d ed along the sM|p>ery 'footpath which led through the forest to th e wooden gate. C H A PTE R X X III. When Toot and the major arrived at W aterloo station, tbe* latter in a breath less condition, they found tbe German w aiting for them with his tw o fellow ex ilea. Tbe gentleman o f N ihilistic probliv- ities waa somewhat tall and thin, with a long frock coat buttoned almost up to his throat, which showed signs o f giving at the seams every here and there. Hia grizzly' hair fell over hia collar behind, and he had a abort bristling beard. H e stood with on« hand stock Into tbe front o f his coat and the other upon his kip, -as though rehearsing the position in which his statue would be some day erected In the streets o f bis natiye Husain, when the people had their own, and no mete. I s spit* o f b th e n was snsmfhlsg noble and striking snout the man. Hla bow, when Baum- ser introduced him to the major and T\jm, 1 would b av« graced any court in Europe, Bound bis neck he had a coarse string from which hung s pair o f double eye glasses. These he fixed upon his aquiline nose, and took a good Ibok at the gentle men whom he had com# to serve. Bulew, o f K iel, waa a small, dark-eyed cleaa «haven fellow, quick and energetic in l|is movements, having more the ap- p< a ranee o f a Celt than o f a Teuton. Ha seemed to be full o f amiability, and as sured the m ajor in execrable English how v« ry happy he was to be able to do s ser vice to one who had shown kindneas to their esteemed colleague and persecuted* patriot Von Bsnmser. Indeed both o f the men showed great deference to tbe German, and the major began to perceive that hia friend was a very exalted Indi vidual in socialistic circle«. H e liked the look o f the two foreigqgra, and congrat ulated himself upon having their co-op- eiaton in tbe u a tfe r on hand, kc- 111 luck was in store fo r the expedition, however. On inquiry at the ticket office they fpund that there was no train for upwards o f two hours, and then it was a slow dhe, which would not land them un til eight o’clock at Bedsworth. A t this piece o f information Tom Dimadale fairly broke down, and stamped about the sta tion, raving and beseeching the officials to run a special, be tba coat what it might. Thia, however, could by no means be done, owing ta thh press o f Saturday traffic. There was nothing fqy it Rat to wait. The three foreigners went off In search o f something to eat, and having found a convenient cook shop they dis appeared therein and f e l t e d royally' at Von Baumser’s expense. M ajor Robins Clutterbuck remained with the young roan, who resolutely refused to leave the plgtform. The major knew o f a snug lit tle corner not far off where he could have put in the time very comfortably, butTie could not bring himself to desert hie com panion even for a minute. Indeed, it was well that day that young Dimadale had good friends at his back. Ilia appearance waa so strange and wild that the passers-by turned back to Jiave another look> at him. H is eyes were open and staring, 'giving a fear-inspiring char acter to his expression. H e could not sit still fo r an instant, bat paced up and down add backwards and forwards under the^ influence o f the fierce energy which consumed- him, while tbe major plodded along manfuHy.at bis side, suggesting ev ery consideration which might cheer him up, and narrating many tales, true and apocryphal, most o f which fell upon heed- the bora« was put In It i u clone o o to "D riv e as bard aa you can go to the Priory, roe man,” »aid the major. * The sulky ostler made no remark, btlt a look o f surprise passed over bis phleg- made couutenance.
