CHAPTER III. i
Madeline Graham faded at once end
forever out of my boyish existence. 4
neither saw nor heard from her directly;
but some months after her arrival In her
distant home, there arrived a wonderful
parcel, full of dried fruits, nuts and
other foreign edibles, addressed, In the
hand I knew, to "Master Hugh Trelaw
ney," at Munster's. My schoolmatea
laughed wildly on its arrival. I distrib
uted the more perishable fruits among
them, reserving a Tery little for myself
for I had no heart to eat I stored
up many of the nuts In my trunk, till
they were quite moldy and rotten. When
1 was obliged to throw them away, I
seemed to cast away at the same moment
all my hope of seeing my dear little love
gain.
I remained at Munster's until I was
fourteen. In all these years I never for
got Madeline, never ceased to mention
her name every night when I prayed by
my bedside, never relinquished the
thought of some day sailing across the
ocean, and looking on the dear bright
face again. I found myself reading im
aginative books and writing verses of
which early compositions, be certain,
Madeline was the chief and never-wearying
theme. "
I had taken tolerable advantage of
Munster's tuition, and was sufficiently
well grounded In the details of an ordi
nary English education. I had, more
over, a smattering of Latin, which. In
my after struggle for subsistence, turn'
ed out very useful. I should have pro
gressed still further under the care of
my schoolmaster, but at this period one
morning I received the startling intelli
gence that my father was dead, and
that I was left alone in all the world.
Mrs. Munster came into my bedroom
and handed me a packet with a crepe
band on the left arm; she also pointed
to a cap which she had brought in with
her, and said:
"You must wear this one now, Hugh,"
1 ventured to Inquire whether I was
to see my poor father in his coffin or to
follow him to the grave. The tears came
into the woman's eyes, and she took my
band.
"Ton will never see him again," she
aid; "never. He died in America, and
waa buried before we received the news.
But you are a brave boy," she added,
"and must not grieve."
"Mrs. Munster," I said, plteously,
' "what Is to become of me?"
"I don't know, my dear," she replied;
"your poor father has not left you a six
pence. . . Hugh," she added, sudden
ly, "have yon any relations?"
"No," I replied, "not one."
"No uncles, or aunts, or cousins?" per
sisted Mrs.. Munster; when suddenly I
exclaimed:
"Yes, Mrs. Munster; now I remember,
I've got an aunt. At least 1 had an
emit; but she may be dead, like father."
"Let us hope not," said Mrs. Munster.
"Well, var dear, telj m where she is
to be found."
"I've heard father speak about her.
6he was my mother's sister, and her
name is Martha Pendragon and she lives
at St. Gurlott's, Cornwall."
Mrs. Munster wrote It down.
"'Mrs. Martha Pendragon, St. Gur
lott's, Cornwall.' It looks promising, as
I dare say St. Gurlott's is a very small
We soon left Falmouth behind os, and
were moving cumbrously along the high
road. Looking to the right and to tne
left I could see nothing but undulating
sweeps of land, bleak and barren, with
the stony bighwsy stretching before us.
We were traveling westward, evidently,
and, as far as prospect went, we might
be going forward into the Desert There
was not a cart or horse or human being
to be seen anywhere.
It was past midday, and the sun was
as hot as it had been any day that sum
mer. As I felt It scorching my face and
head, I looked at my companion, and
marveled again. His huge ulster coat
was buttoned up to his chin, and his
great round face was shaded by his
broad felt hat He was by no means a
bad-looking man and he was still young
only five-and-thirty, or thereabouts.
His skin waa tanned and weather beaten.
and his eyes were fixed upon the mare
with his habitual dreamy stare. Sud
denly he turned his glance slowly upon
me, and said:
"I reckon you knaw a deal? I wott
der naw. whether you can write?"
I answered with some decision that I
certainly could, at which I thought his
face fell. t
"Poetry, naw V he Inquired. "Warses
like?"
I replied that though I was able to
write a capital hand, I had only once
or twice aspired to original composition
at which he chuckled delightedly, then,
fixing his eyes with a fascinating glare
upon my face, he repeated in a nigh.
shrill voice the following lines:
"Head the warset, mtssus; read the
wanes!" said Mr. HuJJ, whereupon she
proceeded to do so.
It was a proud moment for John
Rudd: he seemed to expand with pleas-
' ore. And though to all intents and pur
poses he was gating upon sirs, reu
dragon, he rolled one eye round my way, i
as if to watch the effect upon me. When
the reading waa done, he smiled affably,
while my uncle brought down his opeu
hand heavily upon hia knee.
"Waal done, John, waal done!" cried
my uncle, heartily; while another voice
one which I then heard for the first time,
said:
"Oh, Mr. Rudd, whst beautiful poetry
you do write!"
At the sound of the voice, all eyes,
mine among the rest, were turned upon
the speaker, whom I discovered to lie a
little girl somewhat about uiy own age.
so pretty and so quaintly dressed, she
looked like a little Dresden china shep
herdess.
Wha, Annie!" said my aunt.
1 declare I'd forgot all about ee!"
my uncle added. "Come yar, my hiss,
and say how do ye do to yer cousin!
At this, the little girl came forward.
and, gazing earnestly at me, timidly of
fered me her hand.
Suddenly, John Rudd, who had been
fumbling about his coat agitin, produced
another packet, which he this time, hand
ed to my cousin. She opened It, and
found it contained a brightly colored
shawl and a sheet of foolscap, on which
some lines were penned. Knowing Mr,
Rudd's weakness, Anule proceeded to
read the lines:
"To Missus Tendragon, who's always so
pleasant.
John Rudd, of St Gurlott, brings this
little present
May her life be as sweet as best sugar
can be.
And the only hot water be mixed wi
her tea!"
"What do you think o that T' he asked
anxiously,
"Very good."' I replied. "Where did
yon read it? In a book??
I didn t read un, master, l wrote

ha' wrote un if I could write. Jaw,
you'm a smart chap, pr'aps you could
take them lines dawn?"
Of course I could," I replied. Where-
unon I produced a pencil from my waist
coat pocket, and, asking Mr. Rudd to
repeat the verse again, I transcribed it
on the back of an old letter.
"Do you make much poetry?" I asked,
"A eoodish bit" he replied, "least
ways, I should if I'd alius a smart 'un

a-drlving up and dawn Falmouth way wi'

navlng read the verses, Annie fell to
volubly admiring them and the shawl
but Mr. Rudd, feeling the praise too
much for him, gleefully took his depart'
ure. He paused at the door, however,
to give me a last look, and to express a
wish that we should become better ac
quainted.
The moment he was gone, attention
was again concentrated upon me. My
aunt took a good look at me, trying to
find traces of my mother and father in
my face. My uncle discovered I was
both wet and cold; while Annie said
"Why don't you give him his supper,
mother? I'm sure he must be hungry
after. that long ride wi' Mr. Rudd."
Annie's suggestion was adopted, and
we all sat down to supper. While I
ate, I had leisure to look about me. The
kitchen was large and homely In the ex
treme, with a clean stone-paved floor be
neath the great black rafters above, from
which hung flitches of bacon, bundles of
tallow candles, and divers articles of at

with seats within It, formed of polished
black oak, and the fire burned on the
open hearth. In one corner was a recess,
with curtains, containing a bed, which
