Long before Nicholas Wray awoke ou

and a half to the village of Lythinge, on

Happily. a. eiimfortable inn. relic of the
old coaching days, situ:ttetl at the June -
tion of four crossroads in •the open coun-
try, eserved to break my .tourney and sup-
ply me with food. For the resources of
Lythinge, es I .epeedidy found on arriving
there, were limited in the extreme. The
✓ illage was supposed to contain about
four hundred inlie,hitants, but though this
figure included dwellers in scattered cot-
tages about the neighboring bilis+, I have
n}ways been inclined to think the rol..cali
must have been swelled by the addition
of some of the ema}I black Was w':th

outer edge of the steep deeeent, I stood
for over an hour gazing over the wide-
spreading marches to the angry line of

preparing me for the novelty and romance
which was coming into my hie, and was
even now close upon me.

But. although I would not own it, it was

Ths holeterous wind gave me juet the

elf her shoes, and I remember noticing
that vibe had danced her gray worsted
stockings into holes, •a.thaug?tz her slender
little feet, seemed to skim rather thasn
tread upon the floor.
I have always ilntensely loved dancing,
and. bare seen all the great etep-dancers

I hardly know how long I knelt on tete

'seconds with stares, distended eyes, end
then began to laugh --the rippling Ialigh
of a healthy. child,
"I .didn't know 'any one was there," she
said. "Can you play the piano?" .
I nodded 'aequlesoence.
"Just play me this tune I've been tr.7ing

Ande she proceeded to hum quite cos i
reotly a popular waltz melody which was
driving residents ofsuburban side streete
mad about that time.
I could play a little by ear, •and I erase

by my gide, opened it for ane, and leaned
overme, humming still, while I picked

flowing over my coat -sleeve as elm watch-

She 'was not in the least self-oonsoione
