But it was not Hosanna's way to think of more than one thing at a time, so as It occurred to her that John When, Who. had called about the loan of a buy shaken•, night peat a letter for her' as he went home, she acted upon the idea without further reflection. She bad her paper spread out on the barrel stand, and craned her curly angles as she unlikely Road over it at g nn to meet her at enjoined Dined Dan ]llcCle Bunt's, in ICilbracken, where the gig would drop her next Saturday even - 4i body's load tbat it would be better for them to gel. together a tow pounds be- fore they sot up housekeeping, Roe - none now said to herself that she did not see any evasion for it; She Won- dered, too, what sort of a girl Maggie \Venal, her stepsistot', who had Just oomo to live at home, was apt 1.0 be., She. heti a presentiment that there would be lithe love lost betweenYthem.

Now end then the voices of home -going hay -makers were waited over a bodge, and a belated cornerake was heard from a long way off faintly "ereak- creaking."

She thought they would lave u grand churning to -morrow, and at least 8 dozen pounds of butter for Saturday's fair. But when she had finished, she recollected that Rosoane should have been there to carry the pigs their sup- per' of sour skim milk; and after call- ing her in vain several times, she sent little Ned to Tial her, and bid her come along out of that this instant. Ned delivered the message with the pithy addition: "n le'e raging;" and coin frightened baste Rosanne finished addressing her envelope with wild biota, and overset the ink bottle, and rushed away to fetch the bucket. When she reached the dairy she was relieved at flailing nobody there to scold her, and, still burry -driven, she filled her bucket and ran off with it across the yard. Roseau° rather liked seeing the pigs at their supper, they wriggled so all over with enjoyment, and s11e now leaned against the sty - door to watch them. She begun to sing Norah Creina, but in the mid- dle of the first verse she stopped abruptly, A frightful misgiving had suddenly sei.zed her, come she knew not. w'hcnce. She leaned forward and looked into he trough; she snatched up bor bucket and examined it care- fully ; and then she perceived that she had indeed done a dreadful thing. In her baste she .had emptied the wrong crock, and bad thrown a week's gather- ing of cream to the pigsI Hone dreadful it was she could esti- mate by the pride her mistress took in the row of rich, yellow-toppedmilk which she surrounded pthem,ions her rvwrath if any clumsiness imperiled them. What would tbiit wrath be now? Rosanne made her mind up all in a minute not to face it. She would run away home, Ce uaa no such great distance across the fields; she might get there, she supposed, before it was quite dark. She thought her father would be glad to see her, and, if so, her stepmoth• Br mast perforce acquiesce. But at all events there was Dan McClean, who would be certainty "as pleased as enythin'," and make much of her and take her part, whatever happened— D an's stalwart frame held up the whole fabric of Runtime's future. Be- yond a doubt she had lost her chance of getting a holiday in any other way, she thought, as she raced at full Speed back to the house. For she had ao Lime to hesitate, as the discovery might at any moment prevent her flight. Luckily, almost everybody was out in the hayfield, and she got rip to herr attic unpreoeived. There she collected her 'few most cherished pos- sessions—the rest might be fetched afterwards—threw on her shawl and once more 'dared the °reeking, clatter- ing stairs and the passage that led by the awful dairy door. Fortune still favored. her; she escaped all their perils and was presently sorambling through Ile gap in the briery hedge into the meadows at the back of the hay yard. She ran all the way through the first field, because sero had such a vivid pic- ture in her mind of whet might be at that very minute happening within doors. She could almost ser Mrs. Con- roy's face as she stared into the empty cream croak and hear her terrible call, loud and peremptory? 'Rosanne! Rosanna 1" The mare thought of it made her scud along like a rabbit. But at the end of the field she heard real vetoes, for the haymakers were re- turning to the house, so she slipped out of bleier way behind a smooth -sided haycock. When they' passed she stole bank to the Loot path and on again. About llilorumlyn farm the land was all dawn in meadow, and the fields were bordered by thick bosky hedges. 'tall cocks threw shadows nearly across some of them, and the interspaces were very goldenly green with fresh -spring- ing afiergrass, under westering sun- beams. On others the newly -mown swaths still lay Mlle soft' waves, and the shorn sward underneath was paler - hued, not having had time to thrust up auy young blades sauce the sweep of the scythe went by. Along under the hedge the roinuet: of the meadow made a fringe witb feathery crests, de•ooping and creamy plumes, tall stalks that un- furled w'htte sunshades, and here and there a scarlet poppy. The drops of an early shower still twinkled beneath. them, and Rosanne's crisp pink calico skirt grew limp andbedragglod as o brushed by, But site did not herd this, thereby, she wasn't sure that she much regarded—her new hat, with Its wreaths of our•lous buff and crimson' malls—rested safely on bit head, and her head was full of proocoupying speo- l: ations, She began to think that per' - taps, after all, no such harm was done. That is to say, it was, of course, a woful pity about the beautiful cream ; but, Por the matter at looting Nor place thereby, shit wasn't sure that ale wouldn't as lief ne not quit being in service.

"And where might you be off tot"" Martha said, as Rosanne+ came up to the gate, "and wid fine grandeur on you," she added, referring to the rose -wreathed bat, "Sure Tm just streelin' about a bit," Rosanne said, with rather confused unconcern. She regretted the encoun- ter, and was not at all disposed to con- fide in Martha, wbo had the name of being "the greatest ould gossip you d meet in a long clay's walk," 'It's n fine warm evenin'," she continued, to account for ]ter stroll. "Warm enough, bedad,' said Martha, "you might say so if it was in the hay you'd been, I come up yisteeday to work above at Hilfirthy s, and I was mania to run over this evenin' and see you, on'y southing delayed me.

I dunno is there any news in par- tio'ter, bad or good," said Rosanne, with a guilty ' I could an I would" in her mind, as she thought of the pigs supper. 'Then yes haven't heard tell about Dan McClean9" said Martha, suddenly craning her neck over the topmost bar. "What about him' at all?" said Ros- anne, with a great start, "You haven't heard?" Martha re- peated, in a balf-incredulous tone. "Can't you tell ate 9" said Rosanne. "I'll come over to you—just wait?" —said Martha.

The woman in question was a native of Westerfield, and tad at one time been employed as housemaid at Stan- dish, the seat w the Derome family. She had afterwards gone to London, where sbe had fallen in love with and married rt worthless scamp, who in days gone by had been a gymnast in a circus, but had latterly taken to more dubious modes of earning a livelihood. At length the hue-and-ury after aim became so hot that he determined to go. into close hiding for some time to come. In this emergency his wife be- thought hetrsedf of the vault of the Deroenes in box native town as a likely spot whets her husband could lie by till the beat of pursuit should have soanewhat slackened. Ser residence at Standish had made her acquainted with the existeeme of the vault, and she was aware that the big old-faeh- ioned key always hung on a certain nail in the armory. Having been somewbat of a favorite with the house- keeper at Standish, it seemed only na- tural, when she returned to Wester- field—where •she gave herself out as a widow—that she should go up to the Hall to pay her respects to that per- sonage. The opportunity was uCi- lised by her for purloining the key, which a second visit, made on some pretest or other a day or two later, enabled her to replace on its nail be- fore it and been missed. By this time she had engaged hum- ble lodgings in the town, and her husband had taken up his quarters in the, vault, where he had a sufficiency of blankets and warm clothing, not to speak of a frequently replenished brandy flask, to keep him from suf- Loring from the chills and damps of his strange demloile.

Both the man and his wife were aware ,that that side of the churchyard was overlooked by ono win- dow only, brei: as they never saw a light in it, they! had come to the con- clusion that the room to whirl it per- tained was unoccupied. But not every night did the lamp shine t'hroagb the grating. Sornetimesthe man met his wife at the low wall by the river, where there were no rail- ings, and where easy access could be' had to the churchyard by day or night. It was only When he wee too lazy, or otherwise disinclined for stirring out, that the signal was down; whereby, as we have seen, came his own undo- ing. It would seem,tbat in the course of the man's professional °erect he had more than once personated an ape in a pantomime, and that he still re- tained the tight -fitting hairy dress and mask used by frim for that purpose. Tired, and no wonder, of his ung days and nights in the colmpany of the dead and gone Deromes, it had seemed no more than a pleasant relaxation to the fallow to soar° and terrify the good people of Westerfield as they had nev- er been terrified before and never have been since. When funds be- gan to run law, an easy mode of re- plenishing them was found in the con- tents of Lady Deere's jewel case.
