The P trap was to meet us; and Mr. Ch: combe had promised that we should find everything as comfortabl possibly arrange; and as sundry ham pers had preceded us, 1 had no fears as to settling down cosily 48 soon as we sheuld arrive. The journey to Exeter by an express train was by no means tedious; we rather enjoved it. As our branch train slowly steamed into the wayside sta- tion, we seemed to be the only passen- gers who wished to alight; and presently we found ourselves, with the exception of a solitary porter, the sole occupants of the platform. At one end of it lay a goodly pile of our Iuggage, which the said porter had in a very leisurely man- per extracted from the van, The pony-trap was to meet us; and as Mr. Challacombe had assured us it would only hold four grown-up people and a child, but a fair amount of smpedimenta, we were under no anxiety as to how we should reach Morleigh | Cottage. ‘Is there anything here for us? husband inquired of the porter. *No, sir; not that I know ot.’ ‘From Morleigh Cottage?’ Jack ex- plained. *No, sir,’ he repeated. it may come yet.’ ‘Chance, indeed,’ T echoed in a low | tone. ‘lt will be too disgraceful, Jack, | # Mr. Challacomnbe has forgotten to | desire the carriage to be sent.’ We both preceeded to the other side of the station, and gazed through the fast-falling twilight up a narrow road, down which the porter informed us the | pony-trap was sure to come, if it was coming at all-—whieh did not seem pro- able, after a dreary half-hour’s hopeless waiting for it, In the meanwhile, we beguiled the time by asking the porter some leading | questions with regard to the surround. | ings, &e., of Morleigh Cottage; all of | which he answered with a broad grin on | his sunburnt healthy face, ‘How far is the Cottage from here?’ Jack inquired. ‘Better than six miles.’ ‘Six miles!’ I exclaimed!-‘O Jack, Mr. Challacombe said it was about three.’ ‘It’s a good step more than that,’ observed the porter, with a decided nod of the head. ‘Is it a yaty pretty place?’ I said in- ively, ‘It isn't bal for thems as likes it,’ was : Wag " ¥ it i on en Exeter, eas he cou @ Arsh no my | ‘Bat chance # what depressing I felt my spirits sink to zero. ¥ had heen so | the other ! advertisement had and the idea of bat the tempting, that I felt whatever iL was make the best of it, and | contrive that at least should not repent of having been beguiled by me into, as he expressed it, taking ‘a pig in a poke, “The pony-carriage is sure to come,’ I said in a way. once more stralning my eyes up the deserted road, ed the word ‘pony-carringe’ inet grin for the second {0 secure iL, Jack confident thes uiLiey time on the man’s face, which was pre for bv the aj tiv fills seve tata endl jo iy fully accounted Our equippage coming jolt he deeply rutted road. fm- t of shabbiest, with the bottom Ax-cal the boards with en bare sirewn ription, nd pony, SiON, an aged SPC with a rope pred was a pony-trap, Will ' harness in is @& yeh 11 CRUrss pit Ces Of almost d 1 have cried when it saw Jack's eritical eye Lits shortcomings, Aud ‘A prisoners friechtened me might al od Margare! el IL reach ner ears. d have i was afraid Arm it iL rharg ' * AL Was Cap that a surrendered pas wr-by, to wh might not be « SOE CONse ence, That very morning, we had arranged {o drive to rather a distant spot to ge! some ferns, I would fain have deferred the expedition; but Cousin Susan was already prepariog for it, so I could only it by giving my reasons; and the chance of encountering t vict seemed too small to risk terrifyin her to tell her of it all, It was a lovely morning when we started, and Cousin Susan became quite enthusiastic over the ‘frowning tors and windswept moors,’ ‘Don’t you admire them, Helen,’ she said. “They are very grand,’ I adn ‘Oh, so lovely. so wild’ sad Susan.
