CHAPTER VL—(Continued),
A light touch on my shoulder made
me start violently. I turned and saw
Lilith. whom, in the new dread that was
creeping over me, I had altogether for-
gotten, peering over my shoulder into
Horatio Saxon's face.
Father is dead!" she said, in an awe-
etr ur. k whisper, speaking what I hardly
stared to think,
I ]aid hint down as I had found him,
and, tatting Lilith by the hand, I led her,
trying silently, back to the inn. Then
1 summoned takes from the bar as
quietly as I could, and immediately out-
side his doors I told him briefly what
had happened, and took him with me to
where Lilith's father lay,
Saxon was really dead. I had judged
him to be past mortal aid when I had
left him a few minutes before. Death,
indeed, must have been almost instan-
taneous, for he had not even uttered a
groan. He lay there, a dark patch upon
the shirting white roadway, with a nar•-
t e Kea; ctrer, l r+•ickEng from under the
eveund in his head.
By Mr. Noke's advice I borrowed a
horse from the farm by the ohurchy'trj
end rode offa_s east as the annea'l's
:f,di3Y legs Cou1d'earry file fo summon a
doctor from Sandhythe, since doctors
evere unknown in Lythinge, with the ex
c eption of the local "vet." That clatter-
ing journey over the moonlit roads will
linger lortg in my memory. I always as
satiate it now with the scent of hays,
stacks of which. fragrant after the
heavy- rains, bordered the lonely high-
way.
My- mind throughout that ten -mile ride
to and from Sandhythe was in a tur-
moil of excitement. On one point 1: was
resolved—Lilith's future should be as
free from toil and paverty- as I could
make it. Under the clear-eyed stars, in
the sweet scented summer -night still-
ness, I tookmyself to task about my mo-
tives. and did not try to deceive myself.
T Iaved the child, not yet with a man's
love for a woman, but with a protective,
pitying tenderness. 1 bad never yet met
a human creature who interested me so
deeply, and had it been possible. so
strong was the romantic passion with
which she inspired me, I would have
dedicated my whole life to her service.
As to the wisdom or folly of harboring
:quell sentiments in my heart for the
lovely, neglected, Iittle vagrant whom
fatecast in m • could not go
had way.I c. d
into that question. y A an loves whre
he must. not where he should, and al-
ready this child of sixteen. whole I had
that day eneountered for the first time,
was more. in finitely more, to me than any
other living thing.
As to forming any definite plan for
her future, that I certainly 'had not
done. In some measure her father's
death lay at 'zny door. and I was. bound
to see that she was not a loser by it. At
the carne time, I knew quite well that
not duty, but personal inclination, mov-
ed me to provide for her future. All
that I had really decided upon was to
seek out her relatives, and 'ascertain
whether they were willing, for a cone
sideration, to provide Lilith with a
home while she attended a school to
amend her deficiencies in the matter of
education.
As to what would be her subsequent
career I would not trouble myseif to
think. She would never want a home.
or friendship. or advice, or money, while
I lived; but even while 1 thought thus,
in a glow of protective affection. I real-
ized with a pang that' my life was not
xny own to offer her. Had I been free,
I felt I could have taught her to love
rne. and could have so molded her. sweet,
ydlahle nature that in a year or two she
might have felt for me some ,slight
measure atleast of the ai'fection• which
I could find it inme to lavish upon her.
Itut Lady Madge's image interposed be-
tween'me and this realization of...all my
dreams. and I fancied T could see the
scornful curl of the lip and hear the
fine scarca.sm in her tone as' she alluded
to "Adrian's philanthropic interest In a
girl ofsixteen he found dancing for
pence in a country tavern."
The words and tone, even in'Magnus-
tion, :,tung me. I whipped the fat sides
of the farm horse so that in rapid mo-
tion 1 might forget their sting, arid,
galloping heavily, found myself at a lit-
. file past eleven in the sleeping town of
Sandhythe, not far from the address of
the doctor . which Mr. Nokes had given
me. Returning alongside of the doctor
in his gig, after a great deal of time had
been pasted in his stable In low and
sleepy preparation. he informed me that
he was acquainted, with the dead man,
having attended him once in Sandhythe
i'or an apoplectic seizure' brought on by
heavy drinking.

Fier, strange to say, our path lay

winding road through the Ievel land
where once the sea had flowed. Oyer

round, uttering' a• short, wailing` note,

mysterious loneliness of the.scene.
At last a marten° tower loomed
vaguely before,eus through the lighten-
ing haze, and to the left a long -line of
sand -dunes immediately facing a glim-
mering thread of white, incoming tide.
Lilith seated herself on the dry sand,

I did not reciprocate the e4mellent
•firs. Nokes' sentiments; in fact, I al-
together failed to see why ale intelligent
girl of sixteen should be"lnore than tem-
porarily shocked and pained by the 1 lo
lent death of such a father as Horatio
Saxon had been. Possi y, as I -admitted
to myself, a girl of vett strong feelings
might have taken such a loss terribly
to heart, in spite of the man's neglect
and cruelty; but, then, would any girl
of very strong' feelings have. followed
and obeyed and worked for such .a fa-
