Bjarne was tall and grave like the

face,. narrow lips slid .small, tier* eyes..
He seldom laughed, ilitd, when .lie did,
his launh' seethed even fiercer than his
frown. a` lie wore his hair long as his
fathers had done, and dressed in the

[ the money that had enabled hi ni te, buy '

din was no tinwelcome guesd in the

One night, as the --suis Was- low, and -a

self on a large moss -grown stone, on the
croft. Her eyes wandered over the

be- 1
low, and she could dee. the red roofs of
the Blakstad mansion .p4eping forth be-

`what they were dourg down there, .
whether (,;rimhilci had , done • milking;
and whether' her father had returned
from the fjord, where it was his habit at
this hour to ride with tare footmen to
water the horses. As she sat thus won-

in the clay branches hard' bfr, and lifting
her eye, she !saw's tall, ratter clumsily

cap hungon the back of his head,
and,
although it was summer, his thick wad -
mal vest was .buttoned close: up to his
throat ; over his right arm he had flung
his jacket, and in -his hand heheld a bridle.
" Good_ evening," said Brita, and
