of archaological science; but each year
as it passed scemed to bind him down
more and more irrevocably to solitude of |
heart. The shunning of all companion
ship, which at first had been but the in
stinct of a wounded and senaiti
weame at length a fixed habit, which he |
was too shy and reserved break
through. Each year increased the stoop
of the Professor's shoulders, the bald-
neds of his head, and the terrific develop
ment of his forchead. Each year the
sad, shy eyes grew sadder and shyer and
were more and more rarely lifted to
meet the undiscerning, unperceptive
eyes of others, Little did anyone divine
what bitter hours of heart loneliness the
misanthopic, unsocial Professor passed |
in the grim, museum-like study of his |
ionely house, or what painful thoughts,
quite unconnected with barrows and |
cromlechs and Druid circles, were his
daily eompagions.
Ope August day the Professor made a)
journey miles away among the mountains
for the purpose of taking observations of |
a famous cromiech. He had been {or
two years at work wpon a history of
cromiechs, and was at this time gather
ing material for a chapter on the differ
ences botween Dritish cromlechs and
those of the nations of Germanic de-
scent, The journey took him all the
morning, and when he came within sight
of the village on his return the afternoon
sun was blazing ot its hottest. About »

Phyllis’ handwriting followed the an.

letter shared the same fate. Then the
letters ceased, Hugh Morgan remained
abroad for a year or two, and on his re-
