(Continued from last week.)
She crimsoned ,'then went white
again, She was tre'm'bling now through
:her whole frame. At last she broke
out: "I am not of that crew that came
to marry! To me you are the veriest
stranger,—you are but the hand at
which I caught to ,draw myself from
a pit that had been digged for .m'e.
at was my 'hope that this hour would
never come. When I :fled, made for
eaoape, 'will'in'g to dare anything but
that which d left, behind, I thought.,
'I may dtile before that ship with its
shameless cargo 'se't's sail' When the
ship set sail, and we met with stormy
weather, and then was much sickness
aboard, I thought, 'I may drawn or 'I
may die of the fever.' When, this af-
ternoon, -I lay there in the boat, corn-
ing up this dreadful river through the
glare of t'he ligh'tning, and you
thought I slept, I was thinking, 'The
bolts may strike me •yet, and all will
be well.' I prayed 'for that death, but
:the storm passed.I am not without
shame. I know that you must think all
of me, that you, must feel yourself
gu'lled and cheated. I am sorry—that
is all I can say—I am sorry. I am
your wife—I was married to you to-
day—but I know you not and love
you not. I ask you to hold me as I
hold myself, a guest in your house,
!nothing more. I am quite at your
mercy. I am entirely friendless, en-
tirely alone. I appeal to your gener-
osity, to your honor"—
:Before I could prevent her she was
kneeling to me, and she would not
rise, though I bade her do so.
•I went to the door, unbarred it, and
looked out into the night, •for the air
within the room stifled me. It was
not much better outside. The clouds
had gathered again, and were naw
hanging thick and low. From the dis-
tance carne a rumble of bhulnd'er, and
the whole night was dull, heavy, and
b'reathles's. Hot anger possessed rise:
anger against Rolfe for suggesting
:this thing to me: anger against myself
for that unlucky throw; anger, most
of all, against the woman who had
so :cozened me. In the servants' 'huts,
a hundred yards away, lights wane
st tl ,burning, against rule, for the
'hour wt's late. Glad that there was
something I could rail out against, I
strode down upon the men, and
caught them assembled in Diccon's
cabin, dicing for to -morrow's rum.
When I had struck ,out the light with
my rapier, and had rated the rogues
to their several quarters, I went back.
through the gathering storm to the
brightly lit, flower -decked room, a'nd
to Mistress Percy.
She was still kneeling, her band's at
her breast, and her eyes, wide and
dark, fixed upon the blackness with-
out the open door. I went up to her
and took her by the 'hand.
"I ama.gentlem'an, madam," 'I said.
"You need have no fear of me. I
pray you to rise,"
She stood up at that, and her
breath 'came hurriedly 'through her
parted lips, but she did not speak.
'It grows late, and you musk be
weary," I continued, "Your room is
yonder. I trust that you wil'd sleep,
(well. Good -night."

7Ten days. later, Rolfe, going down
river in his barge, 'to.ulohed at my
wharf, and finding me there walked
with me toward the 'house.
"I 'Nave not seen you since you
laughed' my advice to adorn and
took i't," :he said. ."Where's the far-
thingale, Ben'edilck the married' Man?"
"In the house,"
"Oh, ay!" he commented. "'It's near
to supper time. I 'trust she's a good
,cook
"Shoe does not cook," I said drly.
"'I have hired old Goody Cotton to
do that."
,He eyed me cio'sely. "By all the
gods! a new doublet! She is skillful
with her needle, then?
"'She may be," I answered. "Having
never seen 'herwith one, :a ani no
judge. The doublet was made by the
tailor at Flowerd'ieu. H'undred."
By this we had readied the level
sward. at the top of the.

Since when hast thou turned gard-

"I't's Diccon's doing. He is anxi-
ous to please his mistress."
"W'h'o neither sews, nor 'cooks, nor
plants! What does she do?"
"She pulls the roses," I said. "Come
in."
When we had entered th'e :house he
stared about him; then cried out, "Ac-
!rasia's 'bower! Oh, thou sometime
'Guyon!" and began to laugh.
It was late afternoon, and the slant
sunshine s'trea'ming in at door and
window striped wall and floor with
,good. Floor and wall were no longer
logs gnarled and stained: upon the
one lay a .carpet o'f 'delicate ferns
and aromatic leaves, and glossy vines,
purple - berried, tapestried the other.
(Flowers—purple and read and yellow
-were everywhere. A's we entered, a
figure started 'up from the 'hearth.
eSt. 'George I" exclaimed Rolfe
"You have never married' a bia'oka-
moor?"
"bt is the negress, Angela," I said.
"I bought her from 'Wil'liam :Pierce
the other day. Mistress Percy wished
a waiting damsel."
'The creature, one of the five fi-
nales of her kind the.n in 'Virginia,
looked at us with large, ro'ilin'g eyes.
She knew a little 'S'panis'h, and I
spoke to her in that tongue, bid'd'ing
her find her .mistress and tell her that
company waited. When she was gone
I placed a jack of ale upon the 'tab'l'e,
and 'Rolfe and I sat down to discuss
it. Had I- been in.a. mood for laugh-
ter, I could have found reason in his
puzzled face. There were flowers
'upon the table, and :beside them _a

he now took up,
"A white glove," he said, "perfum-
ed and silver fringed, and of a size

I spread Its mate out upon my
palm. "A woman's hand.' Too white,
too soft, too small."
He torched lightly one by one, the

I sto'plped 'him' with my hand upon

With her bright eyes upon me, and
with orte hand 'softly striking a rose
against her laughing lips, she extend-
