(Continued from last week.)
IThe meadow was now less throng-
ed. The river, up and down, was
white with sailboats, and across' the
neck ,of the peninsula went a line of
'horsernen,readh with his purchase up-
on a pillion lbeliind him. The Govern-
or, the Councilors, and the command-
ers had betaken lthemselves to the
Governor's houste, where a .great din-
ner was to be given. Bat Master Pier-
s'ey, the Cape Menchant, remained' to
see the 'Company slelmlbursed to the
last leaf, and the lour ministers still
found occupation,' (hough one couple
trod not upon the h'eels of another, as
they had done an 'hour agone.
"I must first satisfy the treasurer,"
I said, coming to a chat 'within' fifty
feet of the now deserted high :places.
She drew her hand from mine, and
looked me up and down.
"How much is it ?" she asked ' at
last. "1 will pay it"
t1 stared at her.
"Can't you speak?" she cried, with
a stamp of her foot. "At wheat am 'I
valued? Ten pounds—'fifty pounds"
"At one hundred and twenty pounds
of tobacco, 'madam," I' said dryly, "I
will pay it myself. To what name upon
the s'hip's list do you answer?"
'Patience 'Worth," she replied.
"I left her standing there, and
went upon my errand with a whirling
brain. Her enrollment in that com-
pany proclaimed her meanly born,
and she bore herself as of royal
blood; of her own free will she had
crossed an ocean to meet this day,
and she held in pass•iona'te hatred this
day and all that it contained; she was
conte to Virginia to better her condi-
tion, and the purse which she had
drawn from b,er bosom was ,filled with
gold pieces. To another I would have
advised caution, delay, ap'pl'ication to
the Governor, inquiry; for myself I
oared not to make inquiries.
The treasurer gave me my receipt,
and I procured, from the crowd
around him, Hu'nafrey Kent, a ;good
man and true, and old 'Belfield, the
perfumer, tor witnesses With them at
my heels I went back to her, and, giv-
ing her my 'hand, was making for the
neanest minister, when a voice at a
tittle distance 'hailed me crying out
"This way, Captain Percy!"
T turned toward the voice, and <be-
held' the great figure of Master gler-
emy Sparrow sitting, crass.legged like
the Grand 'Turk, uppoin a grassy 'lull-
ock, and beckoning to me .from that
elevation.
"Our acquaintance hath Meer of the
shortest," he siad genially, when the
maid, the witnesses, and I had reach-
ed the foot of the hillock, "but I have
taken a liking to you and would fain
do you a Service, Moreover, I lack
employment. 'The maids take me for
a hedge parson, 'an'd sheer ,off to my
brethren, 'who truly are of a more
clerical appearan'cie. Whereas if they
could only look upon the +inner mane
You have been long in choosing, but

from me to the woman beside me, and
b'ro'ke off with open mouth and star-
ing eyes, There was •excuse, for her
beauty was amazing. "A-parago'n," he.
ended, :recovering himself.
"Marry us quickly, friend," I said.
"Glands are gathering, and we have
far:, to go."
He .came . dawn from his . mound,
and we went and stood before him. I
had around' my neck the gold chain
given ole upon la certain occasion by
Prince Maurice, and in lieu of other
ring I no.w twisted off the smallest
link and gave it to her.
"Yourname?" asked Master ,Spar -
pow, epeninig los book.
"Ra'lp'h Percy, Gentleman,"
"And yours?" 'he demanded, staring
at her with a somewhat too apparent
delight in 'her beauty.
'She flushed richly and bit her lip.
He repeated th•e'question.
!She stood a'minute in silence, her
eyes upon the d'arkening sky. ;Then
she said in, a idly yoke, "Jocelyn
!It was not the name I head ',w'at'ch- her head upon her arms.'
I sat, bent forward, the tiller in my
hand, and stared at my wife income
consternation. This was not the tame
pigeon, the rosy, humble, domestic
oreatude who was to make .me a halite
and rear me children. A sea bird with
broad_white 'wings swo'nped down
upon the water, now d'arlk and ridged,
rested therle a moment, then swept
away into the heart.of •t'he gathering
s't'orm. She was linker such an one.
:Such birds were caught at times, but

ed the Cape Merchant strike off his
list. I turned upon her and made her
meet my eyes. '"What is your n'a'fn!e?'
I demanded. "Tell me the truth!"
"I have told it," she answered
proudly. "It is J'oce'lyn (Leigh."
T faced the minister again. "Go on,"
I ,said, briefly..
"The Company ,co'm'm'and's 'that no
constraint be put upon its poor maids.
W'herefo're, deo you marry this man of
your .awn free will and choice ?"
"A'y," She 'Said, "of my own free
will."
,Well, we wetle married, and Master
Jeremy Sparrow wished us joy, and
Kent would have kissed the 'bride had
I not frowned 'him off. He and Bell-
field strode away, and I left .her
there, and went to .get he'r bundle
from the house that had sheltered her
overnight. RIe'tunning, . I found' - (her
seated on the turf, her chin in her
hand and her dark eyes watching the
distant play o'f ;lightning. Master ;Spar-
row had 'left ,his post, and was no-
wh'ere to be seen.
S _ gave her my 'hand and led' her
to the shore; then loosed my boat ,and
helped her aboard: lI was pushing off
when a voice hailed us Tram the bank,
and the next instant a great bun'ch of
red roses whirled past me and fell
into her lap. "Sweets to thie sweet,
you know," said Master Jeremy Spar-
row genially. "Good'wife Allen will
never miss ,them."
II was in 'two minds whether to
laugh or to siwear,—for. lI had .'never
given her flowers,—when she settled
the question for mie by noising the
crimson mass and bestowing it upon
the flood,
A sudden puff of :wind brought the
sail around, hiding his fallen counten-
ance. The wind freshenled, coming
from the .bay, and the boat was off
like a startled' deer. IWihen I. next saw
him he had recsvered his equanimity,
and, ,with a smile utpan' his rugged fen
tures, was 'waving us a farewell, I
looked art the beauty opposite me, and,
with a sudden movement of pity' for
him, mateless, .stood up an'd waved to
him vigorously in turn.

The lightning, which had played
incessantly in dale flashes across the
law clouds in •the s'outh, now' •lealped
to laugher peaks and became m'one vi-
vid, and
ivid,and the 'muttering 'of the, thunder
ch'an'ged, to long, booming peal's.
ITlhirteen years before, the Virginia
storms had struck us with terror.
'compared with those of the Old
World we had left, they were as ,can-
non to ,the Whistling Of arrows, as
;breakers on an iron coast to the dull
wash of level seas. Now they were
nothing to me, but as the peals
changed to great crashes as ,o& fall-
ing cities,•' I marveled to slue nary `wife
sleeping :so quietly. The rain began to
fall, slo'wl'y, in large sullen drops, :and
I rose to coyer her with my cloak.
Then, I saw that the sleep was. feign-
ed, for she was ,gazlisg at the storm
with wide eye's, though with no 'fear
in their depths, Wlhen I moved' they
closed, and when I reached her the
lashes still ,siwept her cheeks, and
she breathed evenly through, parted
lips. But, against her will, she shrank
from my • touch as I put the cloak
about her; and when S had returned
to my seat, I bent to one side and
saw, as I had 'expected ,to, see, that
her eyes' were wide !open - again. If
she had been one whit less beauti-
ful, I would halve wished her back at
(Jamestown, back on the Atlantic,
back at whatever outlandish far away
place, where manners were unknown,
that had owned her and cast her out.
Pride; and temper! I set my lip's, -and
Vowed that She s'honid find her match,
iThe storm did .not last. Ere we had
reached Piensey's the raM had ceased
and the clouds were bre'alcing; above
Chaplain's Choice hung a great rain-
bow; we passed Tani Weyanoke in
the ;gloiry of the sunset, all s'habtered
gold and crimean. Not a word had
been spoken. I sat a humor grim
enough,'and she lay .there beforeme,
wide awake, staring at the shifting
lb'anks and running water, and .th'ink-
ing that I thought she 'slept.
IAtlast my own wharf nose 'before
me through the gathering dusk, and
beyond it shone out a light; for I had
told Diccon .to set my house in Or-
der, and to provide fire and torches,
that my wife might see I wished to
do her h'o'nor. I looked et that wife,
and of a sudden ithe 'anger in my heart
melted .away. 'It was a w'id'erness vasa
and •dreactful to which she had come.

"Our journey is over," I' said. "This

up the wet and slippery steps, to :the
level of the wharf. It was now quite
dark, there being no moon, and thin
.cloud's obscuring the stars. The

When we had passed thle mouth of
the C'hicka'hominy, I broke the sil-
ence, n,ow prolonged beyond reason,
by 'po'inting to the vid'lagle upon its
bank, and telling her something of
Smith's expedition u,p 'that river, end-
ing by asking her if she 'feared the
savages.
When at length she succeeded in
abstracting her attention from the
clouds, it was to 'ans'wer in the nega-
tive, in. a -,tone of the s'upremrs't in-
difference, after which she relapsed
into her con'templati'on of the weather:
