I For a moment her clasp tightened nbout

inns loosened and fell away, and so I
presently raised my head, and, supporting
BTjelf upon my hand, loAkcd at her. And
then I saw that her cheeks were burning.

''Were you conscious when when I

'No," I answered; "I was lying In a
very deep black pit." Hero she looked
it mo again.
,"1-1 thought you were dead, Peter."
'My soul was out of my body until
you recalled It."
"Tou were lying upon your back by the

looked like one that Is dead!" and she
shivered.

feet, I staggered giddily, to hide which
I. laughed and leaned against n tree.

only now my hurts were deeper, for my
"end grew boyond my strength to sup
port, ami hung upon my breast, and my
brain throbbed with fire, nnd the mist
was ever before my eyes.
"Are you in much mn, refer?"
"My head-only my head, Charmlan
thero is a be.ll ringing there, no-It Is a
hammer, beating." And Indeed I remem
bered llttlo for n while, save tho touch
of her hands and the soothing murmur
or her voice, until I found she was kneel
ing beside me, feeding me with broth
from n spoon. Wherefore I presently took
the basin from her nnd emptied It at a
gulp, and, finding myself greatly revived
thereby, mode some shift to cat of the
supper she set before me.
So she presently came nnd sat bcsldo
mo nnd ato nlso, watching mo nt each
morsel.
"Your poor hnndsl" said she, nnd. look,
ing down at thorn, I saw that my
knuckles were torn and broken, and tho
linger, much swelled. "And yet," said
J linrmlnn, "except for the cut In your
lienil, you ,ro iiullo unmarked, rcter."
"He fought mostly Tor the body," I nn
Bwcreil, nnd I mimnged to keep my fuco
"tit of tho way; but ho caught mo twice
nnou upon tho chin, lightly, nnd onco up
behind tho cur, heavily; had his list
landed fairly I don't think even you
could havo brought mo back from those
loathly depths. Charmlan."
Anil In a Willie. Stinnpp Vielnc rtnno ah
brought my pipe, nnd filled It. and held
tho light for me. Hut my head throbbed
woefully nnd for once the tobacco was
flavorless; so I sighed, nnd lnld the
pipe by.
"Why, Peter!" said Chnrmlan, regard
ing mo with an anxious frown, "can't you
smoke?"
"Not Just now, Charmlan." said I, nnd
leaning my head In my hands, fell Into a
sort of coma, till, feeling her touch upon
tny shoulder, I stnrted, and looked up.
"You must go to bed, Peter."
"No," said 1.
"Yes, Peter."
"Very well, Chatmlan, yes I will go
.to bed," and r rose.
"Do you feel better now, retcr7"
"Thank you, jes-much better."
"Then why do you hold on to tho
chnlr?"
"I am still n little giddy, but It will
pass. And Charmlan you forgive "
"Yes yes, don't-don't look at me like
that Petcr-and-oh, good night l-foollsh
boy!"
"I am 26, Chnrmlan!" nut ns sho
turned away I saw that there wero tears
In her eyes.
Dressed as I was, I lny down upon
my bed, and, burying my head In the
pillow, groaned, for my pnln was very
sore; Indeed I was to feel tho effects of
George's list for many n day to come,
nnd It seems to me now that much of the
ynorbld Imaginings, the nightly horrors
nnd black despair thnt I endured In tho
time which Immediately followed was
chiefly owing to thnt terrible blow upon
tho head.
CHAPTER XX
"TpETERl-Potej-J-oh, Peter, I want
A you! oh, Peter! wake! wake!" I
snt up In bed. ns I listened, grew sudden
ly sick, and n lit of trembling shook mo
violently, for tho whisper was still In
my cars, and In tho whisper was an
agony of fear and dread Indescribable.
"Peter! oh, Peter, I am afraid! wakol
wake!"
A cold sweat broke out upon mo and
I glared helplessly toward tho door.
"Quick, Peter! come to me oh, God!"
I strove to move, but still I could not.
And now, In the darkness, hands were
shaking mo wildly, and Charmlan's voice
wns speaking In my enr.
"Tho door!" It whispered, "the door!"
Then I arose, nnd was In the outer
room, with Charmlan close beside mo In
tho dark, and my cjes wero upon the
door. And then I beheld a strange thing,
for a thin lino of white light traversed
tho floor from end to end. Now, as I
watched this nurrow line, I saw that It
was gradually widening and widening;
very slowI, and with Infinite caution,
the door was; bolng opened from without.
In this remote place. In this still, dead
hour of tho night, full of the ghostly
hush that ever proceeds tho dawn there
was something devilish something very
like murder In Its stcnlty motion. I heard
Charmlnn's brenth catch, and, In the
dark, her hand came and crept Into mine
and her lingers were cold as death.
And now a great anger came upon me,
nnd I took a quick step forward, but
Chnrmlun restrained me.
"No, Peter!" sho breathed; "not et
wait!" and wound her arms round mine.
In a corner near by stood that name
trusty staff thut had been tho com
panion of my wanderings, and now I
reached, and took It up, balancing It In
my hand. And all tho tlmo I watched
that line of lljjht upon the floor widen
ing nnd widening, grownlng ever broader
and moro broad. Tho minutes dragged
slowly by, while tho line grew Into a
streak, and the streak Into a lane, and
upon the lane came n blot that slowly
resolved Itself Into the shadow of a hand
upon the latch. Slowly, slowly, to the
hnud came a wrist, and to the wrist an
nrm another minute, nnd this madden
ing suspense would be over. Despite
Clmfinlan's restraining clasp. I crept n
long pace nearer the softly moving door.
The I'harp nnglo of the elbow wns grow
ing obtus as the shadowy arm straight
ontid itself. Thirty seconds morel I be
gan to count, and, gripping my staff,
biarK) myself for what might be, when
with ft sudden pry, Charmlan tpraiig for
ward, and, hurling herself against the
donr, shut It with a crash.
"Quick, Peter!" sho pantd. I was be
side her almost as she spoke, and had
my hand upon tho latch.
"I must see who this wns," said I,
"You are madl" she cried.
"Let me open the door, Cliurmlan."
"No, no I say nol"
"Whoever It was must not escape open
the door!"
"Never! never I tell you-death Is out
side tilde's murder In the very air; I
feel it and dear Clod tho door lias no
bolt."
"They are gone now whoever they
were," said I reassuringly; "the danger
over If danger It cpuld be called."
"Daneerl" cried Charmlan "I tell you
It was death,"
"Yet, after nil, It may have been only
soma homeless wanderer."
"Then why that deadly, silent cau
tion?" "True!" said I. becoming thoughtful.
"Hrlng the table, Peter, and set It across
the door."
"fluroly tho table l too light to-"
"But It will give futtlclent warning pot
that I shall sleep again tonight. Oh, Peter,
had I pot been dreaming, and happened
to wake had I not chanced to look
toward the door. It would have opened
Wide, and then--oh, horrlblel"
"You were dreaming?"
"A hateful, hateful dream, and iwoke
In terror, and, being afraid, glanced to
ward thu door, and saw tt opening and
now bring the, table, Peter."
Then I set tho table across the door,
having .done which I stood looking to
ward where she yet stood.
"Charmlan." said I.
"Yes. peter"
"Tomorrow - "
Yes, Peter "
" I will tnaUe a bar to hold the door "
'Yw. I'eter"
"Two bar would be belter, ptrhaps?"
' Yen, I'eter "
cvoT?" WUld fe" ''af' then-safer than
"Safer than ever, Peter."
CHAPTER XXI.
T AM forging a bar for my cottage door;
X such a bar as might give check to
an army, or resist a battering-ram; a
bar that shall defy all the night-prowlers
nai ever prowled; a stout, solid bar,
broad as my wrist and thick as my two
fingers; that, looking upon It ns It lies
In Us sockets across tho door, Charmlan
nenccrorth may sleep and havo no fear.
The Ancient sat perched on his stool
J" the corner, but for once wo spoke
little, for I was very busy; also my
mind was plunged In a profound reverie.
And of whom should I bo thinking but
ui i-narmian?
"'TIs bewitched you be, Peter" said
the old man suddenly, prodding me softly
wmi ms stick, "bewitched as ever was,"
and ho chuckled,
"Hewltchcd!" said 1. alnrtlnir.
"Ah! theer you stand wT your 'ammer
in jour ami a-starln' an' a-starln' at
nobody, nor nothln' leastways not as
uman eye can sec, an" a-slghln', an'
a-signin "
"Did I Indeed sigh, Anclcnt7"
"Ah that ye did llko a cow, Peter, or
ft 'orse 'cavy an tired like. An slow
you be, an' dreamy you as was so bright
an' spry; thecr's some fools, like Joel
Amos, as might think as 't wero tho
work o' ghostes, or demons, a-casttn' their
spells on ye, or that some vampire 'ad
bit yo In the night, an' sucked our blood
as o lay asleep, but I know different
you'm Just bewitched, reter!" nnd ho
chuckled again.
"Who knows? perhaps I nm, but It will
pass, whatever It Is, It will pnss "
"Don't ye bo too sure o' that theer's
bewitchments nn' bewitchments, Peter."
Hereupon the smithy became full of the
merry din of my hammer, and while I
worked the Ancient smoked his pipe nnd
watched me, Informing me, between
whiles, thnt the Jersey cow was "In calf."
that the hops seemed moro than usuntly
forward, and that ho had waked thnt
morning with a "touch o' the rheumat
ics," but, otherwise, ho was unusually
silent; moreover, ench time that I hap
pened to glance up. It was to find him
regarding me with a certain fixity of
eye which at another time would have
struck me ns portentous.
"Ye bo palish this mnrnln. Peter!" said
he, dabbing at me suddenly with his pipe-
stem; "shouldn't wonder If you .was to
tell me oh your appetite was bad; come
now ye dldn t eat much of a brcakfus
this marnln" did ye?"
"I don't think I did. Ancient."
"A course not!" said tho old man. with
a nod of profound approval "It aren't to
be expected. Let's see. It be nil o four
months since I found ye, be.in't It?"
"Four months nnd n few odd days," I
nodded, nnd fell to work upon my glow
ing Iron bar.
"Yoil mnke a tidy smith one o' these
days, Peter," snld tho old man encourng-
lngly, as I straightened my back nnd
plunged the Iron back Into the fire.
"Thank you, Ancient."
"Ay, you've larned to use a 'ammer
purty well, conslderln . though you be
wnstln' your opportoonltles shameful,
Peter, shameful."
"Am I. Ancient?"
"Ay, that ye be moon can't last much
longer she be on the wnne a ready!
"Moon?" said I, staring.
"An, mooni nodded tho old man;
"theer's nowt like a moon, Peter, nn' if
she bo nt the full so much the better."
"But whnt have the moon and I to do
with ench othcrf Ancient?"
"Old I be, Peter, a old. old man, but I
were young once, nn' I tell 'ee the moon
'as a lot moro to do wT It than some
folks think!"
"Ancient," said I, "what might you be.
driving at7"
"Love, Peter!"
"Love!" said I, letting go the handle
of the bellows.
"An' marriage, Peter."
"What In the world put such thoughts
Into your head7
"You did, Peter."
"I?"
"Ah, some men is born lovers, Peter,
an' you be one. I never see such eyes as
yourn arore, so burnln" 'ot they be. Ah,
Peter! some mold will see the lovellght
nllame In 'em some day, an' droop 'er
'cad an' blush an' tremble for shell
know, peter, shell know; maids was
made to be loved, Peter "
"But, Ancient, I am not tho kind of a
mnn women would be nttrncted by. I
love bonks and solitude, and am called a
pedant! and, besides, I am not of a
loving sort "
"Some men, Peter, falls In love as easy
as they falls out; it comes to some soft
nn' quiet like tho dawn of a summer's
day, Teter; but to others It comes like a
pert an tur ble storm oh, that It dol
Thecr's a fire ready to burn up lnsldo
o ye nt the touch o some woman s and,
or the peep n' 'er eye nhl a flro ns'll
burn, nn' burn, an never go out agaln-
not even If you should live to be as old
ns I be an' you'll bo strong an' wild an'
fierce wT It an' some day you'll find 'er,
Peter, an' she'll find you "
"And," said I, staring awny Into the
distance, "do you tmnK mat, by any pos
sible chance, she might love me, this
woman?"
"Ay, for sure," said the Ancient, "for
sure she will; why don't 'ee up an ax
er? WT a fine, round moon over Vad,
an' a pretty maid at your elber, It's easy
enough to tell 'er you love 'er, aren't
It?"
"Indeed, yes," said I, beginning to rub
my chin, "very easy!" and I sighed.
"An' when you looks Into a pair o'
sweet eyes, an' sees the shine o' the
moon In 'em why, It aren't so very fur
lo 'er llp. are it, Teter?"
"No," said I. rubbing my chin harder
than ever; "no nnd there's the danger
of It."
"Wheer'a t' danger, Peter?"
"Everywhere!" I answered; "In her
ovfs. In her thick, soft hair, the warmth
of her breath, the touch of her hand, tho
least contact of her garments-her very
stepl"
"I knowed It!" cried the Ancient Joy
Xully, peering at me under his brows;
"I knowed It!"
"Knew what?"
"You be In love good ladl good lad!"
and he flourished his pipe In the air,
"In love!" I exclaimed; "In love I?"
"Sure as sure!"
"Hut love, according to Aristotle, ls-
"Love, Peter, is what makes a man for
get 'li breakfus", an' Ms work, an' Ms "
"But I work very hard besides "
"Love Is what makes a man so brave
as a lion, Peter, an' fall a-tremblln' like
a coward when She stands a-lookln' up
at Mm; love mages tne green earth
greener an' the long road short-aht al
most too short, sometimes; the love of a
woman comes betwixt a man an' all
evils an' dangerswhy don't ee up an"
ax 'er, Peter?"
"She'd laugh at me, Ancient."
"Not she.''
"Thnt soft, low laugh of hers."
"Well, what o' that?"
"Besides, she hardly knows me!"
The Ancient took out hla snuff-box and
gave two loud double knocks upon tho
lid.
"A woman knows a man sooner than
a man knows a woman ah, a sight
