I looked to see her fall into raptures
such aa women are commonly moro prono
to than men. But all women are not the
same. Mistress Anne was looking, in
deed, when I turned and surprised her, at
the scene which had so moved me, but the
expression of her face was sad and bitter
and utterly melancholy. The weariness
and fatigue I had often seen lurking in
her eyes had invaded all her features. She
looked five years older—no longer a girl,
but a gray faced, hopeless woman, whom
the sight of this peaceful haven rather
smote to the heart than filled with antici
pations of safety and repose.
It was but for a moment I saw her so.
Then Bhe dashed her hand across her eyes
—though I saw no tears in them—and
with a pettish exclamation turned away.
“Poor girl!" I thought. ‘‘She, too, is
homesick. No doubt this reminds her of
some place at home or of some person.”
I thought this the more likely, as Master
Bertie came from Lincolnshire, which, he
said, had many of the features of this
strange land, and it was conceivable
enough that she should know Lincoln
shire, too, being related to his wife.
I soon forgot the matter in the excite
ment of landing. A few minutes of bustle
and it was over. The boat put out again,
and we four were left face to face with
two strangers, an elderly man and a girl,
who had come down to the pier to meet
us. The former, stout, bluff and red faced,
with a thick gray beard and a gold chain
about his neck, had the air of a man of
position. He greeted us warmly. His
companion, who hung behind him, some
what shyly, was as pretty a girl as one
could find in a month. A second look as

formed an excellent foil to the piquant
brightness and keen vivacity, the dark
hair and nervous features of Mistress
Anna For the Dutch girl was fair and
plump and of perfect complexion. Her
hair was very light, almost flaxen indeed,
and her eyes were softly and llmpidly blue
—grave, innocent, wondering eyes they
were, I remember. I guessed rightly that
the was the elderly man's daughter. Later
may speak freely to you, since our enemies
are in the main the same—you know that
our Spanish rulers are not very popular
with us and grow less popular every day,
especially with those who are of the re
formed faith. We have learned, some of
us, to speak their language, but we love
them none the better for that. ”
“lean sympathize with you indeed,”
cried the duchess Impulsively. '‘God grant
that our country may nover be in tbe
same plight, though it looks as if this
Spanish marriage were like to put us in
it. It is Spain! Spain! Spain! and noth
ing else nowadays!”
I “Nevertheless the emperor is a great
and puissant monarch,” rejoined the
Arnhelmer thoughtfully, “and could he
rule us himself we might do well. But
his dominions are so largo ho knows little
of us. And, worse, he is dying, or as good
as dying. He can scarcely sit his horse,
and rumor says that before the year is out
ho will resign the throne. Then we hear
little good of his successor, your queen’s
husband, and look to hear less. I fear that
there is a dark time before us, and God
only knows the issue.”
“And alone will rule it,” Master Bertie
rejoined piously.
This saying was in a way the keynote
to the life we found our host living on his
island estate. Peace, but peace with con
stant fear for an assailant and religion
for a supporter. Several times a week
Master Lindstrom would go to Arnheim to
superintend his business, and always after
his return he would shako his head and
speak gravely, and Dymphna would loso
her color for an hour or two. Things were
going badly. Tho reformers were being

was
talking fast to Dymphna—of course in
Dutch—and my first impulse, in face of
his excited gestures and queer appearance,
was to laugh. But I had a notion what
his relationship to the girl was, and I
smothered this, and instead asked, as soon
as I could get a word in, whether I should
leave them.
“Oh, no!" Dymphna answered, blush
ing slightly and turning to me with a
troubled glance. I believe she had clean
forgotten my presence. “This is Master
Jan Van Tree, a good friend of ours, and
this,” sho continued, still in Spanish, but
speaking to him, “is Master Carey, one of
my father’s guests.”
We boweel, he formally, for he bad not
recovered his temper, and I—I dare say I
still bad my Spanish ancestors in my head
—with condescension. We disliked ono
another at sight, I think. I dubbed him a
mean little fellow, a trader, a peddler,
and, however ho classed me, it was not
favorably. So it was no particular desire
to please him which led me to say with
outward solicitude, “I fear you are an
noyed at something, Master Van Tree.”
"I am!” he said bluntly, meeting me
half way.
“A nd am I to know the cause?” I asked,
“or is it a secret?”
“It is no secret!” he retorted. “Mistress
Lindstrom should have been more careful.
She should not have exposed herself to the
chance of being seen by those miserable
foreigners.”
"The foreigners—in the boat?” I said
dryly.
"Yes, of course—in the boat," he an
swered. He was obliged to say that, but
he glared at me across her as he spoke, i
We had turned and were walking back to
the house, the poplars casting long shad
ows across our path.
“They were rude,” I observed careless
ly, my chin very high. “But there is no
particular harm done that I can see, Mas
ter Van Tree.”
“Perhaps not, as far as you can see, ” he
retorted in great excitement. “But per
haps also you aro not very farsighted.
You may not seo it now, yet harm will
follow.”
"Possibly,” I said, and I was going to J
followup this seemingly candid admis- j
s I od by something very boorish when
Mistress Dymphna struck in nervously.
“My father is anxious,” she explained,
speaking to me, “that I should have as
llttlo to do with our Spanish governors as
possible. Master Carey. It always vexes
him to hear that I have fallen in their
way, and that is why my friend feels an
noyed. It was not, of course, your fault,
since you did not know of this. It was
I,” sho continued hurriedly, “who should
not have ventured to the elm tree without
seeing that the coast was clear.”
I knew that she was timidly trying, her
color coming and going, to catch my eye,
to appease me as tho greater stranger and
to keep tbe peace betweon her ill matched
companions, who indeed stalked along
eying one another much as a wolf hound
and a badger dog might regard each other
across a choice bone.
But the young
Dutchman’s sudden appearance had put
mo out. I was not in love with her, yet I
liked to talk to her, and I grudged her to
him—beseemed so mean a fellow. And
so—churl that I was—in answer to her
speech, I lot drop some sneer about tho
great fear of the Spaniards which seemed
to prevail in these parts.
“You are not afraid of them, then?”
Van Tree said, with a smile.
“No; I am not,” I answered, my lip
curling also.
‘“Ah," with much meaning, “perhaps
you do not know them very well!”
"Perhaps not,” I replied. “Still, my
grandmother was a Spaniard.”
“So I should have thought," he retorted
swiftly, so swiftly that I felt the words as
I should have felt a blow.
“What do you mean?” I blurted out,
halting before him, with my check crim
son. In vain were all Dymphna’s appeal
ing glances, all her signs of distress. “I
will have you explain, Master Van Treo,
what you mean by that!” I repeated
fiercely.
“I mean what I said,” he answered,
confronting me stubbornly and shaking off
Dymphna’s hand. His blue eyes twinkled
with rage; his thin beard bristled; ho was
the oolor of a turkey cock's comb. At
home we should have thought him a com
ical little figure, but he did not seem so
absurd hero. For one thing, he looked
spiteful enough for anything, and for an
other, though I topped him by a head and
shoulders, I could not flatter myself that
he was afraid of me. On the contrary, I
felt that in tho presence of bis mistress,
small and shortsighted as ho was, he
would have faced a lion without wink
ing.
His courage was not to be put to tbe
proof. I was still glaring at him, seeking
some retort which should provoke him
beyond endurance, when a band was laid
on iny shoulder, and I turned to find that
Master Bertie and the duchess had joined
us.
“So hero are tbe truants,” the former
said pleasantly, speaking in English and
showing no consciousness whatever of the
crisis In the middle of which he had come
up, though he must have discerned in our
defiant attitudes and in Dymphna’s trou
bled face that something was wrong.
“You know who this is, Master Francis,”
he continued heartily, “or have you not
been introduced to Master Van Tree, the
betrothed of our host’s daughter?”
“Mistress Dymphna has done me that
honor,” I said stiffly, recovering myself in
appearance, while at heart sore and angry
with everybody. “But I fear the Dutch
gentleman has not thanked her for the in
troduction since he learned that my
grandmother was Spanish.”
“Your grandmother, do you mean?"
cried the duchess, much astonished.
“Yes, madam. ”
“Well, to be sure,” she exclaimed, lift
ing up her hands and appealing whimsi
cally to the others, “this boy is full of
starts and surprises. You never know
what ho will produce next. The other day
it was a warrantl Today it is a grand
mother and a tempor!”
I could not be angry with her, and per
haps I was not sorry now that my quarrel
with the young Dutchman had stopped
where it had. I affected as well as I
could to join in the laugh at my expense
and took advantage of the arrival of our
host, who at this moment came up the
slope from the landing place, his hands
outstretched and a smile of greeting on
his kindly face, to slip away unnoticed
and make amends to my humor by switch
ing off the heads of the withes by the
river.
But naturally the scene left a degree cf
ill feeling behind it, and for the first time
during tbe two months we had spent un
der Master Lindstrom s roof the party
who sat doyen to supper were under some
constraint. I felt that the young Dutch
man had bad the best of tbe bout in the
garden, and I talked loudly and foolishly
in the boyish attempt to assert myself and
to set myself right at least in my own es
timation Master Van Tree meanwhile
sat silent, eying me from time to time in
no friendly fashion. Dymphna seemed
nervous and frightened, and the duchess
and her husband exchanged troubled
glances. Only our host and Mistress
Anne, who was in particularly good spir
its, were unaffected by the prevailing
chill.
Mistress Anne indeed in her ignorance
made matters worse. She had begun to
pick up some Dutch and was fond of air
ing her knowledge and practicing fresh
sentences at mealtimes. By some ill luck
she contrived this evening—particularly
after, finding no one to contradict me, I
had fallen into comparative silence—to
frame her sentences so as to cause as much
embarrassment as possible to all of us.
“Where did you walk with Dymphna this
morning?” was the question put to me.
“You are fond of the water—Englishmen
are fond of the water, ” she said to Dymph-
na. “Dymphna is tall; Master Francis is
tall. I sit by you tonight; the Dutch lady
sat by you last night,” and so on, and so
on, with prattle which seemed to amuse
our host exceedingly—he was never tired
of correcting her mistakes—but which put
fhe rest of tis out of countenance, bringing
the tears to poor Dymphna’s eyes—she did
not know where to look—and making her
lover glower at me as though he would
eat me.
It was in vain that the duchess made
spasmodic rushes into conversation and
in tbe intervals nodded and frowned at
the delinquent. Mistress Anne, in her in-
nocence, saw nothing. She went on until
Van Tree could stand it no longer, and
with a half smothered threat, which was
perfectly intelligible to me, rose roughly
from the table and went to the door as if to
look out at the night.
“What is the matter?” Mistress Anne
said wondeiingly in English. Her eyes
seemed at length to be opened to tbe fact
that something was amiss with us.
Before I cSuld answer the duchess, who
had risen, came behind her. “Youlittlo
fool!” she whispered fiercely, “if fool you
aro, you deserve to bo whipped!”
“Why, what have I done?” murmured

ing to me.
“Done!” whispered the duchess, and I
think she pinched her, for my neighbor
winced. “More harm than you guess, you
minx! And for you, Master Francis, a
word with you. Come with me to my
room, please.”
I went with her, half mindod to be an
gry and half inclined to feel ashamed of
myself She did not give me time, how
ever, to consider which attitudo I should
take up, for the moment the door of her
room was closed behind us she turned
upon me, the color high in her cheeks.
“Now, young man,” she said in a tone of
ringing contempt, “do you really think
that that girl is in love with you?”
1 What girl?” 1 asked sheepishly, The
unexpected question and her tone put me
out of countenance.
“What girl? What girl?” she replied
impatiently. “Don't play with me, boy!
You know whom I mean — Dymphna
Lindstrom!”
“Ob, I thought you meant Mistress
Anne,” I said somewhat Impertinently.
Her face fell In an extraordinary fash
ion, as if the suggestion were not pleasant
to her, but she answered on the instant:
“Well, the vanity of the lad! Do you

and for this pink and white Dutch girl,”
my lady continued viciously, ‘'let me tell
yon that sho thinks moro of Van Tree’s
little finger than of your whole body.”
I shrugged my shoulders, but still I was
mortified. A young man may not be in
love with a girl, yet it displeases him to
hear that sho is indifferent to him.
Tho duchess noticed the movement.
“Don’t do that,” she cried in impatient
scorn. “You do not see much in Master
Van Treo perhaps? I thought not. There
fore you think a girl must be of the same
mtnd as yourself. Well,” with a fierce
little nod, “you will learn somo day that
it is not so; that women are not quite
what men think them, and particularly,
Master Francis, that six feet of manhood
and a pretty faco on top of it do not al
ways havo their way. But, there, I did not
bring you here to tell you that. I want to
know whether you are aware what you are
doing. ”
I muttered something to the effect that
I did not know I was doing any harm.
“Yo.u do not call it harm, then,” the
duchess retorted, with energy, “to en
danger the safety of every one of us? Can
not you see that if you insult and offend
this young man—which you are doing out
of pure wanton mischief, for you are not
in love with the girl—he may ruin us?”
“Ruin us?” I repeated incredulously.
“Yes, ruin us!” she cried. ‘■Hero wo
are, living more or less in hiding through
the kindDCss of Master Lindstrom—Jiving
in peace and quietness. But do you sup
pose that inquiries are not being made
for us? Why, I would bet a dozen gold
angels that Master Clarence is in the
Netherlands at this moment tracking us.”
I was startled by this idea, and she saw
I was. “We can trust Master Lindstrom,
were it only for his own sako, ” sho con
tinued more quietly, satisfied perhaps
with the effect sho had produced. “And
this young man, who is tho son of ono of
tho principal men of Arnheim, is also dis
posed to look kindly on us, as I fanoy it is
his nature to look. But if you mako mis
chief between Dymphna and him”—
“I havo not,” I said.
“Then do not,” she replied sharply.
“Look to it for the future. And, more, do
not let him fancy it possible. Jealousy
is as easily awakened as it is hardly put
to sleep. A word from this young man to
tho Spanish authorities, and wo should be
hauled back to England in a trice, if
worse did not befall us here. Now, you
will bo careful?”
“I will,” I said, conscience stricken and
a little cowed.
“That is better," she replied, smiling.
“I think you will. Now go. ”
I went down again with some food for
thought—with some good intentions too.
But I was to find—the discovery is made
by many—that good resolutions common
ly come too late. Whon I wont down
stairs, I found my host and Master Bertie
alone in tbe parlor. The girls had disap
peared, so had Van Tree, and I saw at
once that something had happened. Mas
ter Bertie was standing gazing at the
stove very thoughtfully, and tho Dutch
man was walking up and down the room
with an almost comical expression of an
noyance and trouble on his pleasant face.
“Where are tho young ladies?” I asked.
“Up stairs,” said Master Bertie, not
looking at mo.
“And—and Van Tree?” I -asked me
chanically. Somehow I anticipated ths
answer.
“Gone!” said the Englishman curtly.
“Aye, gone, the foolish lad!” the Dutch
man struck in, tugging at his beard.
“ What has come to him? He is not wont
to show temper. I have never known him
and Dymphna have a cross word before.
What has come to the lad, I say, to go off
in a passion at this time of night? And
no one knows whither he has gone or
when he will come back again!”
He seemed as he spoke hardly conscious
of my presence, but Master Bertie turned
and looked at me, and I hung my head,
and very shortly afterward I slunk out.
The thought of what I might have brought
upon us all by my petulance and vanity
made me feel sick. I crept up to bed nerv
ous and fearful of the morrow, listening
to every noise without and praying in
wardly that my alarm might not bo justi
fied.
When the morrow came, I went down
stairs as anxious to see Van Tree in tbe
flesh as I had boon yesterday disappointed
by his appearance. But no Van Tree was
there to be seen. Nothing had been heard
of him. Dymphna moved restlessly about,
her cheeks pale, her eyos downcast, and it
I had ever flattered myself that I was any
thing to the girl I was undeceived now.
The duchess shot angry glances at me
from time to time. Master Bertie kept
looking anxiously at the door. Every one
seemed to fear and to expect something,
j)ut none of them feared and expected it as
I did.
“He must have gone home. He must
have gone to Arnheim^” said our host,
trying to hide his vexation. “He will be
back in a day or two. Young men will be
young men."
But I found that tbe duchess did not
share the belief that Van Treo had gone
home, for in the course of the morning
she took occasion, when we were alone, to
charge me to be careful not to come into
collision with him.
“How can I, now he has gone?” I said
meekly, feeling I was in disgraoe.
“He has not gone far,” replied the
duchess meaningly. “Depend upon it, he
will not go far out of sight unless there is
more harm done than I think or he is
very different from English lovers. But
if you come across him I pray you to keep
clear of him, Master Francis.”
I nodded assent.
But of what weight are resolutions,
with fate in the other scale? It was some
hours after this, toward 3 o’clock indeed,
when Mistress Anne came to me, looking
flurried and vexed.
“Have you seen
Dymphna?” she asked abruptly.
“No,” I answered. “Why?”
“Because she is not in the house, ” the

girl answered, speaking quickly, “nor in

she was crossing the island toward the

Jest she shall meet some one else, Master

and one of the maids says that she saw

you know.”
“That is bad,” I said. “What is to be
done?"
"You must go and look for her,” Anne
suggested. “She should not be alone.”
“Let her father go or Master Bertie,” I
answered.
“Her father has gone down the river
to Arnheim, I expect, and Master Bertie
is fishing in a boat somewhere. It will
take tlmo to find him. Why cannot you
go? If she has crossed the footbridge, sho
will Dot be far away.”
She seemed so anxious as sho spoke for
the Dutch girl’s safety that sho infected
ino with her fears, and I let myself be per
suaded. After ail, there might be danger,
and I did not see what else was to be
done. Indeed Mistress Anno did not leave
me until she had seen me clear of the
orchard and half across tho meadows to
ward tbe footbridge. “Mind you bring
her back,” sho cried after me. “Do not
let her come alone!” And those were her
last words.
After wo had separated I did not think
for a moment that it was a pity I had not
asked her to come with mo. But the
thought occurred too late, and I strode on
toward the head of tbe bridge, resolving
that as soon as I had sighted Dymphna 1
would keep away from her and content
myself with watching over her from a dis-
