MARRIOTT WATSON ' COPYRIGHT, 1898, BY HARPER is BROTHERS T .fe,>®tom®aotsonsvocirrotalmommp.00ti.sl I But that was my introduction to the lad, an intr'oduetioa none too favorable, of which he began at once to make use, for he crept close to me, moving from chair to chair, when a chance served -him, and, being emboldened by the liquor he had drunk, struck up a lively conversation with me. In the end he was exceedingly merry, and was shak- ing me heartily by the hand, and invit- ed me to drive out to his farm in the Gwent with a good deal of unusual warmth and vehemence, but I managed at last to make my escape, and that without giving him offense. It was yet early, but the taproom had lost its humors for me, and I was for bed. In my room I spent an agree- able hour, idly considering my guide- books and determining a date for my return to town. Upon the 'map I made out the site of Ivor castle, of which there bad been talk, also of Mont- gomery's farm, which he had described to me. They both lay in the Gwent, as that great reach of forest in the marches is called. CHAPTER II. RAIN had fallen in the night, and a sweet savor of earth com- mingled with the summer air when I opened my door and looked forth upon the courtyard. The landlord gently deprecated the events of the previous evening, offering, as it might be to a fastidious guest, an apol- ogy for a headstrong young scape- grace. "They're not like us of the eastern counties, sir," says he. "They're a bit Welsh hereabout. It's a contamina- tion, to my way of thinking. But, there, all sorts of blood go to make a nation, and that's the truth." But he volunteered a few additional particulars about Montgomery. "Not a bad sort, sir, at heart, but he's running to seed here. He's taken a main fancy to you. That I could spy sit a look. But it's a poor prospect for him, with land dwindling away to nothing, and Llanthony is a shabby house for a young gentleman as he should be." Llanthony, it appears, was the name of Montgomery's paternal estate in the Gwent. And, in fact, it was for this Gwent that I was bound this morning. The prospect of those rolling hills at- tracted me with some force. I had an appetite for the wilderness of that back country, unscarred, as I learned, by the track of any railway. It was in a Ivey virgin, at the least a property pri- vate from the world. As I struck across the Ilay and directed my horse toward the long red slope of the as - lent I looked back upon the little town and discovered it wrapped in moun- tain humors. Llanthony, according to my host, lay It the back of the first hill, some four miles from Raymond, but as the estate was not my particular aim, and, if it had been, I had no one to guide me, I roamed indefinitely through byways over a circuit of the upper Gwent and finally drew up in the village of Llanel- lan about the hour of lunch. This vil- lage lay a mile or so from the more open districts of the Gwent and within the privy borders of the great forest it- self. It would have been easy to throw the reins upon the horse's neck and to wander, lost in the abysms of that wil- derness, for the villages were scattered at a great distance and the habitations of the settlers were at long intervals. It was somewhere about 5 in the after- noon, and as I rode down into a spa- cious valley a few miles from Llanel- lan, that the monotony of this desultory journey was broken by an event of some moment. A pretty brook rippled through the wood and was crossed upon a rude bridge. As it chanced, my horse fell suddenly lame, and I had dismounted on the farther edge of the stream to examine his hoof when I heard sounds as of a struggle In the close brake to My left, and upon that a shrill shout as et one crying for assistance. Leaving the bay, without further ado, for he was "Onlyf a Cold" of mild mettle, I jumped into the copse and ran toward the noises, shouting aa I went to encourage the wayfarer who was calling for aid, The cries bad already ceased, but a crackling and brushing in the under- growth still directed me, and, bursting through the furze and brier, I came out very suddenly upon the verge of the little brook and almost fell over the form of a man who lay doubled upon the earth. As I stumbled and shifted to regain my balance I had a glimpse of a lithe, lean bodied fellow vanish- ing precipitately into the copse. But obviously it was to the victim that I must first turn my mind rather than to any fugitive assailant. He was a man, as I guessed, of some sixty years or more, very bald of the head and under the middle stature. Across his white and shining forehead was a streak of blood, which drew from me an excla- mation as I helped him to his. feet. "It is not mine," said he, with a com- placent smile. "I go better prepared than my years would suggest." "No bones uroken?" I inquired. lie shoot: his head, leaning upon my arm and breathing painfully. "A bruise or two, and no wind in my Melly—no more. I was a fool to have forgotten my pistol." The words recalled me to the thought of the runaway, to whom I attributed this scurvy trick upon an old gentle - maim. "What was the cause?" I asked. "Some highway thief?" "Hardly that" he remarked thought- fully, houghtfully, and pulling forth an ancient snuffbox with deliberation. "No, I could scarcely describe him as that." I made a motion to withdraw, recol- lecting hastily that it was my duty to ascertain some tidings of the ruffian, but the old gentleman, observing my intention, put his hand upon my shoul- der. "I would not worry," said he suave- ly. "It is of small consequence as it happens. Now, had you come up a mo- SNEEZING and running at the nose, stuffed up feelings in the head, sore throat, tickling in the throat and coughing.

"Recognize him?" murmured the old gentleman, snuffing gently and with an air of consideration from his fingers. "Yes, I dare say I should know him, but I am sure you will allow ace to manage this affair my own way. 1 have stood the racket, you know, though I heartily acknowledge you have acquired a certain claim to atten- tion. It Is very good of you," he said politely, and then, "Yes, I think I should know him again—if we met— which is of course extremely improb- able," he concluded, with a twinkle in his eyes. Now, the self possession of this old fellow, with his air of imperturbable courage, puzzled ins hugely and in a manner was very disconcerting. He had taken the outrage, which bad evi- dently been committed upon his per- son, with such mildness, even with amiability. I could scarce credit my senses to see him discoursing there, with his snuff between his fingers, so pleasantly and broadly, of the event. He seemed quite unruffled, though his ; body still panted with the efforts of his struggle. "Is your watch safe? I suppose it was robbery?" I said, feeling somehow rather mean and east clown by the un- expected situation. "Thank you, quite sate," he replied, without troubling to ascertain. "Yes, quite safe. Certainly I must suppose it to have been robbery—yes, robbery, no doubt." Itis air was so abstracted that I took leave to doubt his sanity; but, after all, it was no business of mine if he was foolishly disposed to mercy, and one needs but little imagination to con- eelvo of a dozen deep reasons for an assault save the plain motive of theft. He turned to mo presently as I was upon the point of withdrawing. "I am at a loss to know," said he, la- boring over his words and speaking very deliberately, "what devil of folly ggrleticta, mesa that they will hasr. dal! on a noes of carelessness, a waitron whim or just mere indifference or idle. .nese. I cannot say"— He paused as we emerged upon the road. "This must be your horse, then, a good, serviceable animal, that would have warmed my heart thirty years since. I cannot say," he resumed, clutching gently at my arm, "that my adventure today was due to any other cause than that of mere carelessness," He paused again, surveying my horse with appar- ent interest. "In the first place, I should not have been so far from home; secondly, I should not have been with- out my revolver; thirdly, I should have used my stick harder when I got home, a concurrence of negligences which Made my fate almost a certainty but for your arrival," he added as a polite afterthought, squeezing my arm. I confess that I was utterly at a loss what to make of him and was inclined to interpret him for a mild lunatic, but we proceeded along the roadway, I with the bridle of my horse over my arm. He still clung to me, discoursing quietly in a melodious voice upon his views of life and the philosophy we should derive from it, while I listened, for the most part, in silence. But after walking for a quarter of an hour, the latter part of 'which time was spent in a somewhat laborious ascent, we came out upon the summit of a little hill clad in the splendid livery of summer and surmounted by what seemed in the distance to be the ruins of a castle. Here the old gentleman came to a halt, ceasing simultaneously of his chatter,' and looked toward the building. "I am fully conscious, Mr. —; I don't think I caught, your name, Mr."— "Greatorex," I told him. 'Munk you," said he. "I am fully conscious, Mr. Greatorex, that I am under a deep obligation to you for your great service this afternoon. Great - ores: There are, if I remember aright, Greatorexes in Hampshire." I explained that we were cadets of that fancily. He bowed his ackuowl- edgments, of my explanation and ,pro- ceeded. "Hospitality tells me that I can do no less than offer you the opportuuity of refreshment for yourself or"—his eyes dwelt abstractedly upon my horse— "for your animal. But I am reluctant to press the offer upon you, seeing that it is very probable you have ridden far"—he was observing poor Jupiter's flanks—"and are still far from your destination." His eyes interrogated me, but with no rude curiosity, rather as if they of- fered a remark which I might consider a question or not, as I chose. I an- swered frankly: "I am staying at the Swan, in Ray- mond, and to say truly"—I laughed— "I am not quite sure how far I ane from the town or in what direction it lies." "In that case," he said urbanely, but with a sense of satisfaction, as I imag- ined, maained, "my reluctance vanishes. You are some seven miles from Raymond, and my house is here." Without more ado we resumed our walk and, entering an avenue of lilacs, came next upon an iron gateway set in a high brick wall. It was of very an- cient workmanship, but as nothing to the house itself, which crone directly into full view as soon as we had passed the entrance. It lay some 300 yards back, approached through a patch of park grown with grass and interspersed with noble trees. My first impress;on had not been wrong. It was nothing less than the ruins of a small castle, one of those fortalices reared by the border barons against the inroads of Welsh barbarians in the Plantagenet times. As we drew near my gaze de- voured the building and took in many points of interest. It was quite small. but, saving for one wing, in perfect in- tegrity. From the huge masonry of the drum towers down to the moat and portcullis all was es It had b.^en in the days maybe of Hugh Lupus. The Wing of the quadrangle to our left was dis- mantled and lay strewn with huge stouts iu precarious ruin. A hundred yards or so upon the other side, how- ever, gleamed the red roof and heavy thatch of farm buildings, and a round slack or two in the neighborhood pvove(1 that the fortress kept Its an- cient uses no longer.

We passed through .the arch et ma- sonry and into the courtyard within, where the old gentleman speedily sum- moned a man and gave hint charge of my horse. And stere again I noticed that further appearauces testified to the use of the castle as a farm. From a scrutiny of this pleasant aspect I was aroused by my host, who, pausing as he pushed open a huge oaken door, turned to me suddenly. "I am extremely remiss, Mr. Greato- rex," he exclaimed with a gesture of apology. "You have not yet the style of your grateful host. My name is Kesteven, and this is generally known as Ivor castle." All this was conceived in the most formal and eccentric temper, and doubtless had it not been for the strange interest of his habit and con- duct I might not have consented so meekly to be his guest, for it was now time for my homeward journey. How- ever, I must, it appeared, sit and drink with him a glass of sherry in his II- brary, a large and ancient room with a very fine display of oaken shelves and paneling. .A. little Iater I excused myself, and rose for departure. For a minute or two he appeared to have fallen into abstraction, and then, glancing at me quickly, he regarded ale with. a stead- fast, inquiring gaze. "Mr. Greatorex," said be, "you are a young man. I begin to think that we should find much in common. You will permit the question? Are you mar- ried?" I assured him that I was not. He nodded, as if this were satisfactory cows. "Nor am I," he answered, "but very probably for another reason. I cannot expect you to take part in my philosophy, but I am reminded that you have seen nothing of a house which is of some historical interest, and which I should esteem myself happy to show you. Is it necessary that you should return to your Swan this evening?" The invitation in the query took me aback, for, eccentric as my host un- doubtedly was, I had not anticipated this proffer of hospitality. Yet there was certainly no pressing reason for my return, and here, at least, I should have more congenial company than in my miscellaneous taproom. I replied something to the effect of this thought. "Goods" said he, brightening a little. "You are kind to cheer a solitary. I can even promise you a bottle of cham- pagne if you are young enough. If you will allow me I will call my house- keeper." IIe rose and went to the bell, but, pausing with his hand upon the rope, looked at me gravely. "I should be doing you wrong, Mr. Greatorex," he said, "if I were not to let you know that by consenting to be my guest tonight you are conferring upon me a great favor. You place me under a particular obligation." I told him, laughing, that the obliga- tion was aline. "No," said he. "I fear that my mean- ing is not plain. Let me say this—I have a particular reason for wishing your companionship tonight." I bowed politely and offered some conventional reply-, though this deep stir of mystery puzzled ate. "You are a strong mine, Mr. Greato- rex," he continued, surveying sae seri- ously. "I must tell you that I have no one sleeping in tete house save my housekeeper and ft maid. The mean you saw, tvho took your horse, sleeps in a cottage at Llauellau." He paused. "I was unfortunate enough to lose my valet a month ago and so far have been unable to fill his place." I began to understand. He was in some fear of his fonely condition. Pos- sibly he dreaded an attack by his late assailant. Suddenly, too, ran into my memory time scene in the taproom on the previous night, the miller and his long pipe and his story. There was that same tale that should have been exciting about a burglary. And here I' was in Ivor castle. "If you are thinking of that scoun drell"— I began. "Surely the police"— He interrupted me with a smile.- "The police, Mr. Greatorex, are seven miles from Ivor castle.

THE SETTING HEN—Her failures have discouraged many a poultry raiser. You can make money raising chicks in the right way—lots of it. No ono doubts that there is money in raising chickens with a good Incubator and Brooder. Users of the Chatham Incubator and Brooder have all made money. If you still cling to the old idea that yon can successfully run a poultry business using the her as a hatcher, we would like to reason with you. in the first place, wo can prove to you that your act nal rash loss in eggs, which the 20 hens should lay during the time you keep them hatching and brooding, will bo enough to pay for a Chatham incubator and Brooder in five or six hatchc', to say nothing 'whatever of the larger and better results attained by the use of the Chatham Incubator and Brooder. If you allow a hen to set, you lose at least eight. weeks of laying (three weeks hatching and live weeks taking care of the chickens), or say in the eight weeks she would lay at Least throe dozen eggs. Let the Chatham Incubator on the hatching, while the hen goes on laying eggs. Our No. 81ncubator will hatch as many eggs as twenty setting hens. and do it better. Now, here is a question in arithmetic:— If you keep 20 hens from laying for 8 weeks, how much cash do yen lose it each hen would have laid 3 dozen eggs, and eggs aro worth 13 cents per dozen t Ans.—$0.00. Therefore. when the Chatham Incubator is hatching the number of eggs that twenty hens would hat eh, it is really earning fa cash for you P.M besides producing for yourprofit chicks by the wholesale, and being ready to do the same thing over again the moment cavil hatch is or. Don't yon think. therefore, that it pays to keep the hens laying and let the Chatham lea abater do the hatching? There are many other reasons why the Chatham incubator and Brooder outclasses the setting; hen. The hen sets when she is ready. The Chat- ham Intubator is always ready- By p hao take ooffa hatch at the right time, yolanningu may ve plenty of broilers to sell when broilers aro scarce and prices at the top notch.

Altogether. there is absolutely no reasonable reason for continuing the use of a hen as a hatcher and every reason why you should have It Chatham Incubator and Brooder. We are making a very special offer, which it will pay you to investigate. Small Premises Sufficient For Poultry Raising. Of course, if you havo lots of room, so much the better. but many a man and woman aro tarrying on a suevessful and profitable poultry business in a small city or town lot. Anyone with a fair sized stable or shell and a small yard eau raise poultry profitably. But to make money quickly. you must get away from the old idea of trying t 0 do business with setting hens as hatches. You must get a Chatham Incubator and Brooder. To enable everybody to got a fair start in the right stay b1 the poultry business, we make a s ery special offer which it is worth your W Heaven leaves the heart when hatred eaters. fee patient; cardhonses are built in I an hoar, cathedrals ta'.e the centuries.
