CHAPTER XVII,
One aftereoon, a few weeks .after

Innis safe, Clytie rode down the wind-
ing road to Withycombe. She had
started by herself -quite by heroin
for she had sent the groom back with
te message to elollie not to wait tea;
alid it was rather singular that she
heel not talten tills way to Withe.combe
until after some consideration and
hesitation at the crossroade.
And uow, as the Imre footed mare,
with gracefel and confident steps,
wound her way down the steep and
uneven road, she was wondering
whether she was acting wisely in go-
ing; for she was conaelous, painfuily
conscious, that her object in visiting

. las.
He had scarcely been out of her
; mind since the eventful day when she
e 'hied lain fainting in his arms. She
Y had tried to forget him, had told her -
.8 self a thousand 'limo that it was ni-
ts. most her duty to blot him from her
P • memory; but it is easier for the leo-
pard to change his spots than for a
1' girl to forget such an incident in her
i life as that which had accompanied
o the storm in the bay,
eI And she knew that she wanted to
d see him; sbe had waited, with more
• or leas patience, for him to avail Wm-
o Self of her offer and visit the lean:
e, but day after day paesed, and be had
not come. It was pos'sible that he
had not cared to eome, that he had
forgotter her -and yet something far
t back in her heart whispered that he
a had not done so. Was it pride that
e wee keeping him away? She knew
that he was ,proud, as proud as he
was fearless1 and if it were pride
e then— Ab! well, he was right; hat
• still she'wanted to see him, to hear
the deep, musical voice, now' grave
' and almost stern, now gentle gni an
most tender.
- A faint blush stained the ivory of
her cheek as she lookal dreamet, ret
I the noW leafless trees, the beech end

t tasting sombre shadows in the mellow
, glow .be the winter sunlight.
o How happy she had been in those
wens.whech seemed so long ago? She
had almost forgotten the mise rable
prablem ot the will, and her own re-
sponsibility and cares in connection
with it; and fen almost as free as the
eisher-girls who laughed and played
on the jetty, the girls he was inclined
to envy; tor they were free to live
and marry whom they would, and were
,the mistresses of their own lives.
Presently she came to the bend of
the road, and. a, child ran out from
among the trees calling joyously to
her. It was Polly, and Clytie pulled
up with an answering note of welcome
in her voice
"Why, Polly,. is it ,you? How lucky
• to have met -you; for I was coming to
see you?"
'Was 'tea?" said Polly, her rosebud
mouth stretched, in a delighted. grin,
"What a boolul horse!"
"Isn't it?" .said Clytie. "Would you

"Do you think he'll bear me?" asked
Polly, gravely, as she nestled down
with Olytie's p.rin protectingly round
her.
"Yes, 1 think songesaid Clytei, press-
ing the curly head to her bosom, "And
how is mother?"
"Velly Welt," replied Polly, as t
matter of course. • "An' I'm velly well;
it's only Mr. Jack what's bad."
"Oh, is he bad?" asked Olytie, the
Emile vanishing from her face and her
voice lowered.
Polly nodded solemnly. "Yes, he's
been velly bad; so weever says, but
he says no, not at all, that there's
nuvving the matter wi' him. But
muvver knows, cos he don't eat like
Wiled he did. She says he pretends to,
but he don't really,"
"So he hasn't seen it ctottor?" said
Clytie, In the same low voice.
Polly shook her head. "He got
kite angry when weever said lie
ehould, and 'elated that it was only
eold, A cold does make 'oo pais-
es'ble, doesn't it?"
"It does," assented Clytie, "And you
think that it is only a cold that hr the
matter with -Mr, Jack?"
1don't think so," said Polly,
ehrewdly, "'cos ee don't cough or
blow his nose; but lie's misetsble'nUfe;
and he doesn't come hence till late, an'
walks about by hisself when itee too
wet to work, an' he don't lieu& no
more when he carries me about."
"Ole he still carries you, Polly?"
said Clytie,
"Yes; be isn't too bad for that," said
Polly, in a tone of thankfulness;
"though muvver often tells him to
init the brat deem -I'm the brat. I
think he's going to leave Withycombe;
I hope he won't, don't you, Miss
Clytie?"
cfytie felt as if a weight had sud-
denly fallen on her heart.
"1-I don't know, Polly," She said,
speaking rather to herself than the
child. 'If it is better for him to

Weetaway called her back, and Clytie
went on alone. The beach was eas
serted, for the men had not come Lack
from Veiling; and she stood and look-
ed at the see pensively and sadly.
