Colonel Quaritch followed 'this
drift till 1u came to the .highroad,
and then turned to the left. .A.,few
minutes' walk brought him to a
ive opening out of the main road
on the left as he faced towards
Boisinghani This drive, which
was souse three hundred yards long,
led up a rather sharp slope to Ide
own place, Honharn COttage, or
Molehill, as the vidagers'ealled it, a
title calculated to give a keen fin,
pression of a neat•spic-and-span red
brick villa with a slate roof. As a
matter of fact, bowever,it was ooth-
ing of the sort, being a building of
the fifteenth century, as a glance at
its massive flint walks was sufficient
to show. In anoint times' there.
had been a large abbey at )3oising-
'bath, two miles away, which, as the
records shciw,in the fifteenth century
suffered terribly from an outbreak
.of the plague.' After this the monks
" obtained by grant from the .De la
,IVfolle of the day ten acres of land;
known as the Molehill, and so nam-
ed 'either on account of its resent-
blanceao a molehill, of which more
presently, or after the family. On
:this .elevated spot, which was sup-
posed to be particularly healthy,
they • built the little house now
hudwn as Henham Cottage,whereto
to fly when next the plague should
visit them.
And as they built it, so, with
some elight alterations, it -had- re-
mained to this day,for in those ages
men did not skimp their flint and
oak and mortar. It was a beautiful
little seat, "upon toe' flat top of a
swelling hill, which -comprised the
ten acres of grazing -ground original-
ly granted, and was, wondeflul to
say, to this day the most magnifi-
cently timbered' piece of ground in
the country side. For on the ten
acres of grass land there were over
filty great oaks, some of them pol-
lards of the most enormous anti—
(pity, and others which had origin-
ally, no don10., grown very olose to-
gether, fine upstanding trees with -a
• wonderful length and girth of bole.
This place old Mrs Massey,- Colonel
Quaritch's emit, had bought nearly
thirty Veers •befare,when she became
a widow, and now it had, together
with a modest income of two hun-
dred a year, passed to him under
.her will.
Shaking , himself clear of his sad
thoughts, Harold. Qtriqteh turned
round at his own front door to con-
template the scene.. The long,
single -storied house stood, as has
been said, at the top of the rising
land, and to the south and west and
east commanded as beautiful a view
as is to be seen in ‚that county.

frowned•the massive gateway 'of the
old Norman castle. Then, the
west,elmost at the foot of, the Mole-
hill, the around broke away it i a
deep bank clothed with timber,
which led the eye down by slow
descents into the beautiful valley of
the Ell. Here the silver tivet
wound its gentle way through lush
and poplar-borded marshes., where
the cattle stand knee-deep in flowers;
past quaint old wooden mill -houses,
through Boisinghatn Old Common,
windy looking even now,and bright-
ened here end there with a dash of
golden gorse, till it was lost the
'picturesque clustre of red -tiled roofs
that marked the ancient town. Look
'which way ho would, the view was
lovelyored equal to 'any to be found
in the eastern counties, where the
scenery is fine enough in its own
way, whatever people, whose im-
aginations are so weak that they
require, a mountain and a torrent to
excite them into activity, may
choose to say to the contrary.
Behind the house to the north
there Was Tie view, and for a good
reason, for here in the very middle
of the back garden rose a mound of
large size and curious shape, which
eampletely shut the landscape out.
What this mound, which may, or.
bps 'have covered ,half 'n;the
ground, was, nobody bad atiY
Some learned folk said diet it was a

such a peculiar vigor that he fairly

"Colonel Quaritch,I believe," said,

"Ye:‘," answered the colonel,
mildly, "here I am."

steps the visitor emerged from the
shadow of the trees into the sunset
light which was playing on the ter
race before the house.

nreist voice might be, and his eyes

before the first Boissey, from whose
cerittivieff 'rip, the De la
Mollea had. obtained the property
by marriage with the. 'wirer's, had
got bis charts and cut the fitst sod
of his moat.
Right before them was the gate-

gteat; towers, and that, with the
exception of some ruins, was, as a
matter of fact, all that remained of
the ancient buiTaing, which had
been effectually demolished in the
time of Cromwell. The space with-

while the 'house,. .which was of an
