Relieved of its dra ging weight, she threwfup her righ hand also to the beam, and clinging firmly with - the strength borne of de spair, planted her feet against, the rough wall of the shaft, an foot, by foot—the water buoying her up— raised herself_ higher and higher, un til, with a supreme effort, she raised herself across the beam.• The position was painful and criti cal. She had no light to guide her. In gaining the beam she had lost her foothold of the wall, and so great was the pressure on her • waist, she felt assured she must drop unless she could scramble into a sitting posture. After one or two narrow mischan ces,-which sent her heart leaping into her throat, she attained her object, and thanked God for comparative safety. Yet was her position little less per ilous. The beam had not more than the circumference of a man's hat crown, and her .. sole support being the side of the shift, her seat was necessarily very insecure, added •to which her feet were yet in the cramp "ng water,ther!strength was well-nigh lone, and with the temporary rest a , 1 a • se of drovss stole over her. ortunately, hunger came to keep her wake, and with it longings for thealf-oaten pie le ft at the collier's cottage, So far, struggles for imme diate tafety had oveipowered every other Nought and feeling, but now the deso titian and hopelessness of her positi n smote Hope.

CHAPTER IV. ; ' - 1 ., :.:0.2'f1.' Duripg the night she had contrived to raise her feet out oftlui icy water, and extend them befcire her ou the beam ; bat they were alimist numb, and she shivered in her wet clothes. With her hungry, longings had come thoughts of all the good things at tbe firm to tantalize her; Sad then-the knowledge that_ she would not be Missed until the Sunday night set in ;, and she began to question her own powers of endurance, and , to wonder if she could- hold nui until they began to search for ,her. She wondered, too. how long_it would be before Amos Hedley heard that she was missing, and if he would Join in ; . And then, as if eonjured up brthe thought et. Amos, came in a flub' over her mind the dreadful plot ,`she had overheard, and the danger which threatened his master's household, and perchance himself. • In the con seiousifire-thatVie held - a aidieron which both life and property might hang, her hunger was for the time for gotten, and feverish .longing to es cape and warn Sir William overpow ered all else. She screamed until she was hoarse, but only her own voice came back to er ; and as the hours went slowly • , and her clothes dried upon her, s grew parched and doubly fever ish. To quench her intolerable thirst, she . rew gently up the tail of her linen own, which hung below , drab bling %the water, and sucked the fever ish. To out ; but it had to be.done with eau 'on,lest she should overbal ance. • And eve . for " help" a l came, though 1. and another da , She grew clam f was gaining upon 1 into despairing sil 1 sharp and shrill. Not until the day 1 and the gathering sha ( the farmer and his so day-evening meal, did k garth evince any snrp 't, maid's long absence. Then 1 to remark that Hope was 1 , it was not safe for a girl to % on the fells after dark, and ; th 1.. ed to rebuke her when she di home. But when night began to sho black face . at the diamonded cas meat, and the flames of the blazin fire 'leaped up to light the kitchen with reflections in polished oak. and pewter, she looked uneasily out, and bade " Gwordie take a lantern and legit th' canny bairn through the fui rk." ~ Geordie seemed somewhat loathe to stir himself, but he never dreamed of disputing his mother's behests; so' he reached a horn lantern from a hook behind the door, carefully lit and adjusted the bit of home-made candle within, cloSed the lantern de liberately, and, with a stick in one band, set off, on his errand, nothing doubting he should meet, her before his long legs had carried him the length :I' the village. and anon she shrieked Ad " Amos," but neither Another night wore out passed its meridian. rrOus for food, fever her, and after lapses \nee her cries grew Before he .had gone far he met va rious. parties of young fellows re turning from the fell, some.with game cocks under their arms, others with bandy-sticks, or trigs; cock-fighting, bandy, trippet-and-coit, . and other gambling games, makino , the fell-side like a fair on Sunday afternoons. Several of these he questioned,but no one had seen or overtaken lope, and when he had gone little more than a mile he turned back, satisfied In his own mind that she had staid with her old grandmother. Ile - was not gallant, and lie wanted his sup per. • He was, however ; away quite - long enough to add to his mother's uneas inesS, without allaying it: She -had, never known Hope' so far behind time before in all the years of herr long service; the. lass had been like a daughter to her; and unpunctuali ty ih her mind portended evil. As Geordie came back down' the village street the light of the lantern gleamed on the white tuuteb, orlong eared linen cap; of his mother, as her head was stretched over the gate and her anxious, "Where's Hope r" greeted him. The question, and the short, " Aw, dinnet ken," with the longer assur ance which followed that she must be "steyin' wid acid Betty,forearten 1" being . asked and answered from a distance, reached the ears of another watcher across the road. - From the copse-gate, which he had already un fastened,-came Amos Bedley, equip ed for night duty, with his' gun over h s shoulder. of his questions it no better satisfied ixeuse than was or the farmer, who te gate; and, but t ier's duty tied him woods all night, he .e set off to put anxt. nigh the farmer as td be little wark for ► ower th' fell after fetich meet tie syef be" ,the good dame tompelled to look for hope, for Geordi e showed no dis position for another march in search of his Mother's da"ry maid.

Instead 'of retiring to -rest when the hour came to report imself to the head keeper, he swallowed in haste a glass of ale, thrusthunch of bread and cheese in his eoa pock et, and was off on his self-app inted errand to Burnhead. Geordie's nonchalnace had ally alla y ed \ \- yil his jealousy, but - not his fears or is love, and the restlessness which hid gathered force during the night gave \ speed to his flying feet, and made his possible reception a• matter of small moment. • Disappointment awaited him at Betty's cottage, as it' had awaited .

But, oh I how haggard was the face Amos presented when he - limit into Farmer Applegarth's house about eleven that Monday forenoon and 'found his 'last hope extinguished on this hearth. Not seeing Hope, or a sign of her, in the farm-yard or in the empty kitchen, he rushed on to the dairy, where Dame Apptegarth was skim ming the milk, too much concerned at her maid's ab - -ence "to complain of the .extra work. At. the first accents of his hurried inquiry,thetirst glimpse of his anxious fam,,she dropped the wooden bowl of , cream from her hands, and clasped them together on her breast in consternation, as she cried in echo to his hasty explana tion : " Nut theer 1 and nut seen sin Setterday efternuin I Aw telt, Gwor. die Somethite wor wrang; aw wur suir of it Whativer con hey fa'en the lama 1" gan to wane, ows sent home \c) their Sun ame Apple at ,her Ihe began that wander eaten `j get . . Out ran the quiet woman into . the farm-yard, calling for Gilbert and Geordie, in a state of unusual excite ment. Then she recollected that "the daft collont wor gyen to th' smiddy," and while Amos darted across the road, and bounded over the copse gate into the wood, she flew up the straggling street to seek her son, re membering only that Hope had gone away at her bidding, that Geordie hail been lukewarm over night, and eeling much as if whatever had hap ned to the girl would, lie at their do r. e excitement spread. Staid Dam Applegarth could not rush•np the vi age without. bringing wivesto their d ors and children after them. " Lost n Black Fell in th' fog two tee i days sin, roused many a,sturdy pit man who orked on they night-shift from his fo noon dreams, tajoin the impromptu and of searchers• who were 0/i, alon with thO fanner and Geordie, long fore Amos returned with leave of a series granted, and limping Gipsy at is heels. i . - CHAPT V. The mind is the body's master. Amos Ile3ley had bee afoot in the woods ail night, with nly an 'occa sional rest against the b le of a. tree; had been afoot all the ming on the rug g ed fell with only sugges tion of breakfast, and m Iht well hav,e claimed the privilege of atigue; but a spirit of unrest was alive within him. never, to be tamed to qut tude while Hope was missing. On his way to the head keeper he met SirjWilliam in the grounds n • • r the hall,and in answer to the quer " Whither so fast, young man ?" told hastily the story of Hope Wolsing ham's disappearance, her claims upon his gratitude, and his anxiety to re new the search for her. - The Barwiet smiled as Amos spoke of gratitude ; he had some recollec tion of the independent dairy-maid. The reAnired permission was given on the instant. Nature and common sense had dic tated the necessity for refreshment; now Amos plunged his head in a bucket of water, ate heartily a dinner the sympathetic cook set before him, and started off afresh like anew mars. Quite an hour had been consumed when, accompanied by Gipsy, he again emerged from the copse, and strode through the village on his way to the fell. The other seekers were far ahead of him, and something like a jealous qualm came over him lest she should be found by any but him self. His better nature, however, re buked him, and he told Gipayit mat tered-not who came first on her track, so long as she was only safe and well. The dispersed explorers had met and parted, and met again after three hours' fruitless wanderings,and were, with the single exception of Gilbert Applegarth, on the point of returning to theirs own homes, convinced that the girl. had gone astray of her own free will and not of mischance, argil , - ing that she was most likely with old Betty at home "kirsening," when the echoes of a distant shout attracted the thin-ears of , one, a hewer. With hands curved to month, a loud " Halo!" was thrown forth, and reanswered back again,and the whole Party hastened in the direction of the voice, quickening their steps as they saw :a figure in the distance, soon tee ognized as the gamekeeper,. running and waving his arms as if to urge them forward. _Amos had already gone over the ground these others had taken, and known it barren. Something urged him to make flesh inquiries from the woman whe bad seen Hope last, and obtain an indication of the road she had taken. • TIO had been too brief a time in the neighborhood to know all the short cute across the fell, and it Was \ less his own sagacity than that of 4: 1 ipsy which led him to the long spur o - gray rooks where she had rested an shaken the grit out of ber shoes. H. \\ ere Gipsy, who had been some time uneasy, • suddenly came to a stand, sniffs:ll"st the ground , looked up in Amos' face,, whined, then with his nose to the earth, was off as fast as b ' th ree good legs would ear !

'4le gave a abort, sharp bark, .boundect , lorward to reach the bushes, looked back as if to call his master, ,sonrried here end , there ae if , tOfindentrintee, and barked as if he *ere wild. His master was quickly after him, and, but that hel was. brought to a' sudden stopby soMething that sound ed to him like a far-off whisper of his own name, he might have fallen , for ward and shared the fate of the poor creature perishing of cold and hunger in the depths below, so -completely had the thick fringe of hazels hid the old coal-pit's yawning mouth. Thus checked, with his heart al most at - a stand-still, he lay down up on the ground, and thrusting his head into the gap between the bushes, looked searchingly down with shud dering bead. It was an awful depth, and but that the gleaming water below served as 1 a reflector of the sky, he might have failed to discern the dark figure seat eci" on the beam, with white face rais ed so piteously to the light. And now he was sure he heard his own name, faintly mingled with an imploring cry for succor; and as he 'answered her cry with the-one word, "Hope !" his sudden joy at her dis covery living was dashed with fears lest she should die ere rescue was possible. - A faint scream rising from beneath told that he was at least heard. A gain he called, and loudly, to bid her be of good cheer. Then leaving ,Gipsy on guard, he darted off helter-skelter, pausing only to send a loud halloo upon the wind from time to time, un til; as he was-well-nigh spent,his call was answered. The blacksmith's wife and Mrs. Applegarth bad thought it ill-omened that three of the pit-men slung coils of rope around them when they joined the search; and Amos had more than once been tempted to empty from his pockets the good things the cook had crammed them with in token of her sympathy. He had fancied the weight impeded his progress. He had cause to be thankf he was so laden. Geordie, whose long legs best fitted him for courier, was at .once dispatch ed to the village for more 'help and sundry appliances, and, spurred by compunction, he did not loiter by the way. There was little consultation at the mouth of the pit., where Gipsy stood like a sentry,and barked on their ap proach. -. The hazel has a tenacious grip of the soil, its tough outspreading roots twining-and interlacing. And now Amos showed himself less a novice than the pitmen deemed. He helped to splice the coils of 'rope, and, tell ing them he, had been bred a sea fowler on the coast? would have ven tured on the descent, had not their experience told the line was far too short.

When two pitmen, slu g together per, t hey the side of the k per, they found him standing more .t an waist high in water, sustaining. 11 re with • one arm, aid pouring brand down her throat from the flask of the aood natured cook. By this time abl ket had been brought. A sort of li tn mock was made, into which she • ia lifted, still in a state of unconsciou ness ; and Amod, looping his foot i a rope stirrup, prepared for the haz ardous ascent, while the men below steadied the impromptu cradle with a gie. •• There was a breathless hush as the twain were landed clear of the hazels on the bank, and there was some doubt whether Hope was living or dead. I. -• Gipsy barked and leaped excitedly; Farmer Appleprth'S big fingers un tied- the girl's choking hat-strings ; Amos kneeled down aid chafed her rigid hands ; the fresh air blew upon her face ; and under the influence of 'one or all restoratfres•her languid lids unclosed. Women as well as men had come bareheaded from the village on hear ing Geordie's news, and there - was a general shout at this token of life. The men then turned with a wilt to release their captive brethren, and by the time they were landed, Hope was eating ravenously the bread and meat front Amos Hedley's poeketi, soaked though they had been in the pit. She was carried home to the farm in Dame Applegarth's own rocking chair, and there was no lack of vol unteers for the service. But Amos, who, had felt his own strength col lapse when there was no longer a de mand upon , it, was content,.like sy, to walk beside, and now and then stretch out _a ban& to wrap closer around her—the blanket which the rising wind displiced.

Ing.,that very night, she was accredited mr7.1.12. delirium. She said she bad thought of little else all , the while she was doin the pit, and im plored him to lo no time in warn ing his master.. But he lingered in credulous, and she grew impatient. And then, as fever grew, her mind did begin to wander, and ell her pent up love was or 4..4id5.d, and found un conscious utterance in broken words and ejaculations of alternate fear and gratitude. She was once more in the darkeome pit, cramping on her nar row perch, and yet afraid to move a limb lest she should have a ;fresh struggle with the icy water below her ;. praying' for deliverance, and errug that she should die, and Amos would not scorn her then. Anon she implored, Nick Few and Joey Dob son not to murder Amos—to spare the _poor doggie—anon she muttered fragments of the nefarious colloquy by the rocky ridge on the hillside, with self-congratulations that she had overheard it all. Then she was fleeing from pursuit; now falling, falling into the bottomless pit; every now end then she would look wildly round and shriek ifur Amos to save her—net to let her die thereof cold and banger!' It was all a disjcitated tangle, piti able to listen to, askevidence of the ordeal she had undergone, and the fever that ran riot through her veins; yet such is the inconsistency of man, that a thrill of satisfaction stirred the heart of Amos at her unconscious ad missions, in spite of the new dread lest she should he lost as soon as found. She bad been laid on a huge blue and white check-covered squab or sofa in the kitchen, and had not yet been removed to her own low-roofed bed-room under the eaves. The fire had been piled up high to warm and welcome her, and the whole attend ant crowd, had taken possession of the apartment, freely discussing Hope's marvelous deliverance and the sagacit3rOf Gipsy in tones fitter for the hill-side than the sensitive nerves of a woman in her prostrate condition. Mx's. Applegartb, ministering -to her immediate needs, grew uneasy as she listened to her and to them. Geordie came from the cellar with two great pitcher of ale, and the farmer busied himself to place half a cheese and a big loaf on the table ; but it needed only a hint from the dame to carry ale and edibleninto the barn, with the crowd in their rear. And there Geordie was left, to play host, Gilbert returning to help his good dame. • Thus it chanced that Hope's utter ances fell into no strange ears, except those of a kindly old neighbor (her self as deaf as a post), who remained to chafe the girl's benumbed limbs, while Mrs. Applegarth prepared a hot buttermilk posset by way of food and physic.. _ At first Amos was disposed to put Sir William on his guard, on Hope's suggestion; but, when she grew pal pably incoherent,he was half inclined to . fall in with the farther's notion that the " puir .wencles. brain wor torned," he had best "nut fash th' mister for nowt*" and reluctantly left her to her nurses at last, to turn the question over in his own mind :is' he dragged his tired limbs Oro' the park homeward to tbe halt : Yet, if Hope bad heard, and heard aright, the robbers were to make the attack that very night—hark CHAPIEB VI. Hark i A dry twig crackedd under a heavy soot; .a hare, startled from its sleep, .seurried past him; Gipsy gave a Icivr growl and stood still. Amos had borrowed the farrnet's gun, and now held it ready; there was certainly strangers in the plantation. To put it to the test he gave a pceu liar signal whistle. There was a re sponse. A fellow-keeper would have answered. He stood for a minute or two. with kis gun at half cock ; then, as if thor oughly reassured, pursued his course with Gipsy limping beside him,q4ite as weary as his master, though. not one whit more ciAitent or satisfied. As usual,`AmOs had entered the plantation by the copse-gate;the cut thence' across the park saveil at least a third the distance of the road proper. • To-night he stood in need of rest, but now , be was ,on the alert, arid wide awake. Coupling that stealthY read with the growl of the dog, and " ope's communication he -was in clined to pay more h eed. to her warn ing;,and felt how necessary it was he shotikl reach the hall without arous ingt,) ti spicion in the evil minds so near him.

Gypsy with a Pleasant ord ; apparently going further aw y into the convert, yet drawing nee er to the open park with every step. I Oace away om the shadow of the trees he made direct- for the hall, pondering how st to get immediate speech with Sir 1 'lllam without first running the gaunt! t of the servant's He was anticipated , The Baronet had given orders that,i ' mediately on the gamekeeper's retu he should be shown into the librars .\ 43 There he found-Sir Nil 'am seated at a. - large table, with b oks and papers before bim, and two r three Money bags at his elbow whh bad that day been paid in by his st ward. Shutters werefastened, curfais drawn, the fine - glowed, the wax-1i lits in the silver candelabra were 'repeat, ed in the giazed fronts of ponder() i - book-eases' and as Sir - William hal turned in his chair to greet the new comer, Amos had a vision of a strug gle for the bag,s. upon the table and the words, "silent with - the knife," came into his mind with painful sug gestiveness. - " And so the young woman was ' found I --I'm glad of it! And where was it, Hedley; and how came it all about? You must' tell me the whole story," and the Baronet smiled pleas antly, ".for your - lady will not bate a jot of the news; and I shall have to retail it. Lady Derwent is greatly interested .in - your—sweetheart— shall we say ?" It, was impossible to answer all the Baronet's cordial questions at once, and Amos hesitated. There was a look of gravity on the young man's face, as well as an utterly exhausted droop of his shoulders. There was wine on the table: , Struck by some thing in the young man's voice or manner, Sir William filled a 'wine glass from a decanter on the table; and bade him drink that before he began, it would " put heart into him. But .he , bad already begun. His tale would not brook delay. Briefly and modestly he told the story of anxious quiet, attributing the credit of Hope's recovery entirely to the sagacity of Gipsy, and dwelt more on the pitable condition in which the lost girl was -found than on the ad venturous descent of - himself and . others. His master's commiseration was-roused, but its explession was arrested as Amos unexpectedly drew close, and leaning = one hand on the table, bent down to tell in lowered tones that Hope had fallen ,into the old pit r in endeavoring to evade Nick Faw and two others, who had plan ned, in her hearing, to break into' 'Dersventside Hall that very night. Torolunder, and it might be—murder Sir William grasped the . arms of his chair and half rose from his seat, aghast and :confounded, as he welt might be. 'But he was a brave man, and after that first surprised start, listened with apparent composure, while Amos went on to say that he Ilia heard strange footsteps in'the wood, and believed the wretches were lurking there in readiness., • "No doubt, no doubt," acquiesced Sir William ; "and we must be ready too," he added, with his hand on the embroidered bell-pull. 6 , Thwaites, the pompous old butler came at the summons. He had been a servant - in the family from 'boy hood. • -In'horror. and amazement he up lifted his fat hands, unable to com prehend the enormity of a burglary at DerwentSide. But be was alive to the need for promptitude and. cau tion. With Amos in tow he left the library to carry out instructions. Cook had a substantial supper ready for, Amos. Men and women servants crowded round to ply him with questions. It was ten o'clock. Lady Derwent had rung for her maid half an hour. "To bed, to , bed, you chattering women-folk," cried Thwa ities. "It is long past time. Sir William wants the house - quiet; -be has Mr. ,Bamsay's account' to over look." He was imperative. The maids re. tired grumbling, the housekeeper following, with a light •in a wire screen, as was her custom, to secure the extinction of other candles. All bolts and bars had been previously . adjnsted, and to an outside spectator tbelhousehold appeared to sink into night's torpor and quiescence as usual. When the coast was clear Sir Will iam and the butler armed the men servants with cudgels or pistols, and with many a charge to be silept, placed them two and two in the low er rooms, the point of attack being as uncertain as the, 'number of the robbers. Dcrwentside Ilan was a plain stone edifice, with a flagged pavement on three sides, while the other overhung the river at an elevation, and so was safe from attack. It had, been calcu. lated that footsteps, however stealthy would be heard upon this pavement; but the men had come with muffled 'feet, and the first intimation of their approach was the sound of a file oh the unglazed grating of the larder window. Iron, woodwork, and wirework were all old, the operators skillful; ere long the- framework gave,_ away with little noise. -, Some one cushed through the gap,- - and dropped on padded feet—a second followeed—a third : the flash of a lantern gleamed on the passage walls ; there was a stoppage at the butler's pantry, a jingle of keys; as if the lock was be int* picked, a low-voiced suggestion tolpake sure of the coin first, it was safest; and then the ruffians passed into the large kitchen on their way to the oppoiste door, the One with the .dark lautern in the rear There was a dull red glow in the heart of the recently slacked fire, which. barely east a light on the bright iron fender and white.. hearth,',. leaving .the cor ner of the great - kitchen in deep. shad Ow.- As - ,the third man stole in, Amos, who stood ready, closed the door be , hind him, shadowy forms darted from everworner, and the intruders found themselves in a trap. "Surrender, you vagabonds !" . cried Sir William, and the cock of a pistol was heard to enforce commandJ. "Nivvor I" roared the leader "It be thee or me for it," and darted for ward to throw himself on the Baro net, .whose voice had revealed his whereabouts. There was the gleam of a•knife, the flash - of a pistol, and Sir William' w:‘s down with a ruffianly hand on his throat. Already he felt the sharp prick of a blade, when the man's arm was clutched from behind, there was a gip of a powerful hand - on his col lar, he was dragged to his feet, an-i burled across the kitchen ' when he struck against and overturned a chatr in falling. He rose and again rushed forward, but his knife was gone, and when he closed with Amos, - the two grappled together, with only their natural weapons, and on equal terms barring the fatigue of the latter. In the general scuffle their individ ual conflict wai unobserved. It was not until the other burglars had suc cumbed to stout cudgels in stout hands, in spite of their lethal weep uts and the crape was torn from , the Vices of Mat Ding and Joey Dobson, t their captors had breathing-time cote the flesperate struggle on the L.

He was not killed, however, and had 'fared little worse than Amos, who had got an ugly scratch' with the knife in wrestine , •it from him. .The butler, too, had pretty nearly got his quietus, or thought he had, but it was from the chance - hit of a friendly cudgel, and the knives had not otherwise done much damige. Those were hanging days. When the three ruffians were hauled otr to the county jail the next morning under a strongescort they knew they were journeying to the gallows, and that they would be too heavily iron ed to escape this time. • • Penitent enough were the two pottehers, who had been led into the more daring attempt by the prospect of plunder and revenge under the in spirationtof Nick Faw; 'but thelard ened tinker,'srowling and sullen, only opene d mouth in blasphemy. Amos, - whose hand smarted under bandages, could nut resist 'the tont& tion to tell the man how their plot had been overheard, and how the lass who heard would have been.lost but for the poor dog they had thrown so wantonly at the baited, bull. Aye, and mayhap if the doggie had never wanted nursing, it would have known nothing of Hope or her kindness. Nick Faw had certainly twined a rope for pis own neck when he threw the dog to be gored. The man glared at the speaker, and bit at him like a savage; and Gipsy having forced his way among the crowd at the back of the hall, as he and his companions were led away in custody, he put oat his foot_ and dealt the animal a brutal kick. He bad again reckoned without his host. Gypsy darted after him, and made him feel that woolen stockings were bad armor against canine-fangs. Sir William's wound was scarcely more severe than that of the game keeper, though but for the latter's promptitude it might have .been. fatal. The Baronet's gratitude and that of Lady Derwent could not be expend ed in words. He dealt immediate rewards-to/the other domesties who had taken part in the capture of the burglars and the defense of his , prop erty, but he told Amos he should have to think how best to serve him and his sweetheart---so he persisted in calling Hope Wolsingham. In the first place he left him at liberty, until his hand was healecl,to go where he would,- and quickly as feet could span the distance Amos was at Applegarth's farm. An .hour later Sir William and Lady Derwent met him at the farm er's gate as he was rushing like, state ordestractiou to find, old Betty Wol singham. She was wanted-to try her skill on her own grandchild, whose fever had not abated. Dane Applegarth landed the wond rous condescension of the lady "in mounting the dark stairs-to Hope's small, chamber in the roof, and, lay ing vinegar-cloths on the maids fore head with her "awn lily-white hands," but the lady kit as-if the girl was suffering for her, l and as if she .owed her la husband's `Geordie, who,rhad not ceased to de plore his inactivity in the first in stance, was ready enough to fling his long legs over a bare-baked Worse, and rode off for Sir William's doctor; and by the time Dr. tlaekett's three= cornered hat and gold-headed cane rpaehed the farm old Bet* was there to act ns nurse under his instructions, though she_ felt strongly tempted to trust to her own remedies and ignore him altogether. Fever and delirium ran high ; over and over again the girl went through her frightful experience on fell and in pit, but in all such genuine anxiety tor the people at the hall was appar ent, so much affection for Amos lied ley, which he was "sure nivvor to ken," that the earnest-heart would have melted with pity and. Amos, kneeling by her bed-side, sobbed again. . • For a,long while her life trembled in the balance,,,but - what the skill of the time and !laving hands could do was done for her ; she: was, young, had a strong constitution ; the crisis passed, and left her to re g ain strength, and to discover that she had a lover by her side who poured out his heart as if he knew the depth of hers. She was not voted well enough to enter the witness-box at the Winter jail-delivery. The men had gone' armed to Derwentside, had brOken in, had picked a lock, fought and wound ed the inmates of the hall,.and. their sentence came frOn4 under the Judge's black cap.
