He lived In ene wing of his great heuse, and seldom vlsiled auywhere but nt Mr. I'otiseiiliy1.

With nil that, he was one of the men who, unknown te the world, are factors In nllalrs; for, detesting publlclly and ellllc for him seir, he never entered their arena; hut sena tors, nnd Kocreturli'", and Judges, jmd tlielr kliiu c.'iinunily kSIxK! !;!5hiIi1u'bih1 hardly a 'location el liuKirtance nrose that Ihn nclers oil the gieal hcenudld nut seek lonsultalten with him whereter he was lu be found. He had no near relalliu. and scorned le stand alene lu the world. He had never married. He had a face line, and strong, and beaiitllul , but (and I ftel a If It nema profanation mid sacrilege te sfs'ak of him as though It mat tered) he wa a dwarf, net ipille llie loot tall, and with a crooked shoulder.

And nobody waseier morn dellglilfdl thitii he when he talked, with all his vnsl resources, his wis dom, and hi i, hi gentleness and kind forbearance.

And ence I half wished I had never n Pieircisjiul I'en son by, Injercler that, II Mr Neiersliked Itse, 1 might make hlni the Inppler.

Anether ntiape, dark iisin the whiteness of the storm, a woman's shape, but again gigantic, anil round it blowing out n cloud of shadowy hair, long, veiling, black a: Oarthaglnlan'H. And the woman bent a if iMindlng towards me, and raised mi arm -was It threateningly 7 And then, as If from a Jewel en n long ex tended hand, caiiiu a llnsh of light through All that hlluiliiPiH, and the two shapes bent together, ami all st onie the truth rushed ever me, mul mspitoel inyselt I laughed a loud, clear, ringing laugh, mid the two started apart.

If net treacherous, one was se strong that If he wished anyone's love, he would net ak ler IL And yet until very lately 1 had thought 1 lined the one aud did net love the uthei.
