"Let me go first,." asked Mester, tak-
ing, her dress around her, anis crushing
in through the small opening, eager to
see what the place was like. Half the
floor was. in darkness, heavy darkness,
frout floor toceiling;. the other half
was lighted by a broad,; straight line of
sunshine, and there Hester's eyes
seemed riveted.
Oa the decaying,, mildewed wall,
alyuve Lord Leabolune, as he stood
waiting for her, she saw eight blood

Shaded comfortably from the flash-
ing afternoon sunshine, and refreshed
by the cool lapping of the waves that
broke lazily and gently on the atones,:
they sat talking fitfully as the time
went past; not flying past iior creeping,
but floating in all idleness and serenity.
"How those people are hurrying

wheu.a long, long, pleasant time bad
passed..
"What grotesque heads.!" said Tom,
lazily, while Miss Berkeley raised her

his white lips, which she caught sight

"Ob, don't let us have that chance 1"
she cried, while Lydia held her by the

CHAPTER XIX...
IN PERIL OF I)EATII..'
. Sitting under. the, gigantic - cliffs
round Boulder, Point, the young people
from: Yrnteos House, with Marian
Berkeley, Lord Leahollne, and SirRan
dal Platt, lunched very comfortably on
sandwiches and champagne;.which they
had brought' _wits. then, •They ;had
made their way over the. • buge • stones •
into the second bay, and • were'cobgra-
ttllating each other onthe, , fact; - for
they had never been so far .before, ' not
even on that day, at the very beginning_.
of their visit, when Pollio'' • Gbtdsn.itlt
had so unexpectedly •, joined them.
" I'tu so glad we're -here 1" Cried Alfy;
• "I think this a capital 'place 'to • find
things, and we •needn't• hurry home,

the preeipitoua cliff rise, high .and clear,
against the sky. No exit either way.
There was a silence of some minutes
among then --a thoughtful, earnest sil-
euce it musb haves beeirfor
Sir Randal sat nupon a little jutting
point of rock, from which bis legs bung,
his own equilibrium too uncertain to
allow him' tohelp the others, but oc-
casionally using the one band which be
did not require in balancing himself to
make a sudden essay at steadying or
assisting Mester, who stood near him
upon a narrow, giddy little ledge, from.
which elle had a hold' for her little,
firm right hand, White.her left was laid
•on Alfy's shoulder, really to keep hint
still and safe, .professedly in acceptance
of his offered support. Tom sat in the
cortlor of the one hollow, where Mar-
ian(' Lydia were coiled with their feet
tucked under them, guarding them pas-
sively and encouraging them now and
then with a few very doubtful assur-
ances of safety, and a face of great
anxiety, . Bella had been provided with
a naf'row little natural seat, below
which there was a, ledge for her feet,
and on this ledge stoed Leaholine,
lousing out to sea; Wattle clinging to
one arm. the other beld out to Bella
now and then, when one of her sudden•
panics cane on.
So they watched the tide rising, ris-
ing, 'until Lord Leaholnle broke .the
silence, a new" ring of excitement in his
voice,.
"All of you look out steadily to, sea-•
ward, round the points east aucl west,

"Shall we have to stay here allnight

beforerelinyuislliiig his -]rola:' •
"Are you frightened, Hessie," asked
Alfy, keeping close beside her, but not
quite sure whether this was not,after
all, rather a jolly adventure.
"Yes," she answered quietly, looking
out along the bright horizon. - ''We
are such little things to be at'the mercy
of that great powerful sea. But there
is. One, Alfy, who loldeth the sea in
the hollow of His hand ;, and when I
think of that:. 1 am not frightened,
Can you .think of it, dear'"
"No," whispered• the child, a.little
awestricken, as the waves came tossing
nearer to them,. shutting them into the
hollow of the cliff's.
"We must put up as high upon the
the rocks as we'can manage," said Lea-
holme. "Bring them, Lane." And
he walked back a little way unci climbed
one sharp, uneven pinnacle of rock
under, the. cliffs, dragging the boys up
with him.. ••
Poor Tom --his facewhite as death
had no need to call thein; the girls
were below the rock, close to Lord Lea-
holme at the first sound of .his voice.
