down and looked thoughtfully at the

looked at the sleepy little town spark-

now lilac, and the red flame of bonfir-

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

when his mother and sister had duly
welcomed him. "Sir Arthur Medway

said. "Jessie, I have brought you a

gradually upon us like a great sea -

Just then our colonel rode down the

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.''
"Victory's a fine thing," said Mr
Cheeseman, settling himself cosily in
his chaic in the sunshine, "though I'd
as soon lose as win, I reckon, 111'd run
my head agen a cannon ball. 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."

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

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

any fear as to the incongruities and

did Philip, whose were now widely

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-

against a gnarled apple tree, looking
from Jessie's slender graceful figure to
that of Matthew Meade, who was sit-
ting in his shirt sleeves and battered
floury hat, just out the best parlor
window, through which Philip had
heard his momentous dialogue with
Sir Arthur Medway, with such strong
heart, beats, years ago. 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-

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-

origin, as well as with his passage
through the ranks. He was of age,
the time of enlightenment was come;
perhaps when he knew his parentage
