Good night, sir, and thankee." erable wildechapr, laughed -the ,cifficer to hineself, as he strolled up and down and looked thoughtfully at the homely mill and house so strangely transformed by the festal lights, He looked at the sleepy little town spark- ling out into midsummer midnight ma,dness, the very church tower a pil- lar of light, now blue, now red, and now lilac, and the red flame of bonfir- es on the hills, leaping into the pale ,summer sky; until among the sparse slowly. moving figures on the hill road his quick eye detected an elderly man and woman and a slender girl whose ,golden hair gleaming in the light made his heart beat. He knew so well which way they would come in, not by the front door, but round by the lilac bushes to the kitchen, at Inc door of which stood Sarah looking up at the rain of rockets in the sky. Swift as thought he glided round, unobserved by the servant and then as they approached, stepped tranquilly forth to meet them. "Sir," exclaimed the miller, stopping •short when he saw him with some- thing between defiance and welcome, "what might you be pleased to want?" "Don't you—don't you know yne?" faltered Philip with a hot pain in his eyes. Jessie gave a little cry of delighted surprise, and Mrs Meade rushed for- ward and clasped the stranger in her arms. "Lord ha mercy!" exclaimed her husband at intervals, "this can't be Philip. Why, bless the boy," he added when his mother and sister had duly welcomed him. "Sir Arthur Medway could not have bred up a fineggentle- manthani he's made of himself.

"If vou had but been a cavalry -sold- ier, Philip." Jessie said, "you might have been one of the Light Brigade at Balaclava, like Mr Medway." "Aye, and finely cockeyed up is young Mr Medway," said Matthew, "enotigh to turn any young fellow's head." "Lucky fellow! to be that," Philip said. "Jessie, I have brought you a pet and one for father." Mr Meade's pet was a Russian poodle, a mass of black wool, with little bauly eyes invisible beneath the long. fell falling over its face.

Soon the fire was so hot that we shifted out of range Just then our colonel rode down the Tanks, pale, and with his bridle hand quivering, brave man as he was and proved himself there. He bid us stand firm a little longer; while he was speaking, a shot rolled him and his charger together in the dust. He was soon on his feet and finished his speech, only the horse was killed. Then at last we advanced under fire of a bat- tery, holding our own fire. The move- ment was like a drink of wine to us, it gave us new life. By this time I knew all the different sounds of the different kinds of shot and shell, and started at nothing. At last the orde to fire came and we went mad I sup- pose, for I remember nothing after the first splendid excitement but a hurly- hurly of smoke and shot and the gleam of bayonets, sabres, and men's eyes. Then graduallythrough the thunder of guns and quick crack of muskets pierced bugle calls, words of command, shrieks of horses, groans of men un- heard before. Then English cheers and French shouts became more fre- quent, battery after battery was si- lenced, and before evening we were firing at the Russians' backs, and stumbling over the arms they threw away as they ran." "And so the battle of the Alma was won after four hours' fighting," added Mr Meade. "Twas a September f13, 1851, a very sunny autumn day. Jes- sie was out blackberrying." "Dear heart, yes," added Mrs Meade; "and toward night it thundered and make me think of Russian guns. Bala- clava day was later. There's elder- berry wine now, I made that day; walnuts were turning ripe, and there i was a dahlia show n Marwell Park. Mr Ingleby was there, and his brother lying dead on the field and Mr Med- way 'badly wounded.''

I'll war- rant you slept well after Alma, Mr Randal." "We did, Mr Cheeseman. But you wouldn't sleep tonight, Jessie, if I told you what the field looked like. We lost three officers that day, our whole force only lost twenty-six, and our ranks were terribly cut up. After all the roll call is the worst part of an en- gagement. It turns you sick to hear name after name and no answer." "And were 'cu as frightened at Balaclava, Philip?" Jessie asked with some disdain. "No, Miss Fire -Eater," he replied with a grave smile; "but I never have and never shall go into action without horror and dread, though one feels a terrible joy in the thiek of it. Wait till yeu hear a wounded horse cry, Jessie. And that is a small part of the horror of war." "Why not sell out and settle to The sun had long set, but the even- ingiWAS so balmy that they still linger- ed n the garden among the scents of sweetbrier, roses and honeysuckles, and Mr Meade, after some considera- tion, filled another pipe and watched thellight-ofujeuot' withaloolecrf-nnut- terablesenjoymeni. It was a time of :intense happiness and pride to him, the happiest time he had ever known; though, orethe whole, as he had told his wife, he had had a happy life. His heart swelled with love and pride whenever his eyes rested on Philip and Jessie; such a pair, he thought, could not be matched. He had reared the boy to be a gentleman, and there he stood, tall. straight, and strong, look- ing so distinguished in comparison with the :simple burghers of Cleeve, not only an "officer and gentleman," but a full blown hero with medalled breast and a halo of glory, a little lion to Cleeve, feted and made much of. This lionizing, together with Mr Meade's undisguised pride and desire to show him cdf, would have been a trial to any youth not wholly destitute of modesty, or of that keen dislike to make one's self ridiculous which so often does duty for that gracioustqual- ity, and was sometimes litile short of an affliction to Philip, who, as his adopted fathez dimly perceived, had inherited fine instincts. .fessie, too, hed been bred for a posi- due of no one else and in no way injur- ing another; that tie source of the money was strictly honorable and such as he would in nowise ever re: gret or wish under any circumstances to repudiate. • With these assurances Philip was -contentrandtharemairider of bisleav,e sped in untroubled happiness. The.. e were boating excursions and hay mak- ings. Cousin Jane and her family came to Stillbrooke, and the miller's family passed long sunny afternoons at Redwood's Farm. There were plena - ant, long drawn twilights in the gar- den when the day's work was done, long chats between whiles while the miller leant over his half door at the mill and Philip lounged outside with his pipe and the throb of the wheel and rushing rustle of the water made soft music. There was pride and nice - sure at seeing the lad made much of. Perhaps there was a little jealous fear in Mr Meade's anxiety to hear how Philip had fared at Marwell, where he dined and slept; Claude Medway, who had renewed the boyish acquaintance in the Crimea, being ot the court just then. Jessie, too, showed great inter- est in this visit, apd liked to hear Philip's generous boyish enthusiasm for the older Claude, who had display- ed a dashing almost reckless bravery on many occasioqp, a gay and thought- less daring on which the more imagin- ative and wte.herefore sensitive Philip loved tion far above her parents', and was "Yes, Medway is a fine officer, and a beginning to develoo certain dainty good fellow," he said one day, "fast, ways and airy -graces that filled the but then those hussars do- go the ace." simple old man with delighted admir- ation, and did net trouble him with any fear as to the incongruities and embarrassments such upbringing might produce in her future life, as it did Philip, whose were now widely opened to much in this adopted home that he had earlier taken for granted. Something, a jarring unlovely note in the harmony of thought or deed, had stirred such feelings in Philip on this very evening; he strolled beneath the apple trees withJessie in the.tend- er summer dusk, followed and enfold- ed by the old man's loving, proud gaze, with a vague pain at his heart.

A vision of Marwell Court with all its refined I.eauty and subdued splendor floated through his brain, the surronudings and companionships of such a home seemed more congenial, even indre na- t:ve to him than these with the inevit- side jars. Was it fair to give such a • hoice to a child so young? Had he, perhaps, foolishly -hung away his birthright, or bartered it for the pot- tage of a child's familiar associations? Certain ways, certain modes of speech peculiar to Stillbrooke Mill returned with irritating keenness to his mind; he recalled bitterly certain soc'al an- noyances connected with his uncertain origin, as well as with his passage through the ranks.
