CHAPTER I.
A COMING OF AGE.
"-Sidney," said his mother, in her gayly
masterful way, "we want you. Helen is
coming up to my room to have a little
private confabulation over the events of the
evening, and you must come too, and get us
aomething in the way of a nightcap, you
know, for the sake of our nerves."
"Very well, mother," he said, obedient -
y; and he followed them up the staircase
and along the eorridor, until they had ar-
rived at Mrs. Hume's sitting -room.
But no sooner were they within this warm
and cheerfully lit apartment than it became
clear that Mrs. Hume was herself going to
be responsible for the snugness and comfort
of this little family party—if so it might be
regarded. She rang the bell and ordered
coffee. She went to a sideboard and pro-
duced a bottle of Benedictine, with three
liquor glasses. She had three comfortable
arm -chairs drawn in towards the fire. And
pre=ently, when she had brought the Ben-
edictine and the glasses over, she took a
box of cigarettes—perhaps as a temptation,
perhaps as a jest—and offered it to Lady
Helen.
Curiously enough, at the very moment
that the younger lady received the box into
her hands,- she happened to glance instinct-
ively towards the tall young manwho still
stood by the table; and apparently she saw'
in his face—not disapproval, for that would
have been impertinence ; what right of
criticism or control over her had he? but—
an indefinable something that instantly
caused her toehange her mind. She rose
from her chair and put the box on the man-
tel -shelf. •
"How can you bring such a charge
against me, Mrs. Hume T" she protested,
with laughing indignation. " Yon only
saw me once—for a piece of mischief,
Here, r.ifr. Sidney; don't you want the
eigarettPS ?"
" No,, thank you," he said, without draw.
ing neat..
"Oh you need not offer them to sia,
ney," his mother interposed, as she settled
herself in the chair opposite that of Laity
Helen. "He wouldn't smoke in the pres-
ence of a woman for ten thousand worlds.
It's one of his fads."
"It is merely an old-fashioned prejudice,
and it hurts no one;" he said, in self-de-
fence.
"1 am not ao sure—I am not so sure,"
his mother insisted. "T like to see a mans
smoking; it makes for Companionship and
sociability. For exaanple, now, at this mo-
ment, if you were smoking, you would be
seated in this chair between Helen and me,
telling us all about the ghost that is playing
pranks at St. Mary Hall, showing us your
latest treasures—wretched little books that
are only rare because of their wrong paging
—abd so on ; instead of which you are
lounging over there by the table, taking no
notice of us."
It was a direct reproof; and he had been
well brought up. He came and took the
empty seat between these two; three of
-them made a kind of semicircle round the
fire.
" Well, I have nothing wonderful to
show you," he said. "But I picked up a
couple of very good coins to -day; they may
interest you." He -s took them from his
waistcoat -pocket, and handed one of them,
a small gold piece, to his mother. "That
is a stater of Philip 11, of Macedon—the
great time, you know, for coinage—and if
you look at the head of Apollo on that one,
you will find it perfectly beautiful—some-
thing like the head of the Venus of Milo, in
fact. The other side? Oh, that is the king
drivinc, a biga."
And'had he no word for the Lady Helen,
who sat mute and listening, with perhaps a
furtive glance from time to time at the
young man himself, at the fine set of his
head and shoulders, his somewhat pale in-
tellectual features, and the soft, brown of
his hair. At last he turned to her and
offered her the other coin.
" That is a bronze of Hadrian," he said,
with a certain indifference. "Nothing
very uecommon, except, perhaps, as to its
condition "
But she appeared to be much interested in
the two small figures in classic dress, the
one standing and holding out his hand to
the other kneeling, with the legend sur-
rounding them, " RESTITVTORI A-
CHALE." She lingered over this little bit
of property, which had come warm from his
pocket. And S. C.," she sail; "what
does that mean ?"
"Senatus consult -o ----.by degree of the
Senate,'he answered her..
Children Cry for
" And P. R? Not parish pries?" she
risked again, venturing to -raise hen sniffing
eyes to his.
"Pater patriie," he responded, as be some-
what carelessly received back both coins.
And therewith he rose. "I am afraid I
must bid you -good -night now,"• he said to
the two -wonien.
Sidney l" hie mother exclaimed.
"When I thought we should limits a 'nice
quiet Masa chat all .by our three selves!
And yon cannot be going to bed yet—"
"1 have to finish tinkering at the
I Frogs,' "he explained,.if that was an ex-
planation.
"'Tinkering at the frogs?" she repented.
"The 'Frogs' of Arietophanea. There
is to be a translation accompanying the act-
ing version—the 0. U. D. S., you know—
and I must send it off by the first post to-
morrow morning. So good -night, mother
dear." He went forward and kissed her.
" Good -night, Lady Helen," he said, shak-
ing hands with the younger woman,
Lady:Helen followed him with her eyes—
those meditative, inscsutable eyes—as he
left the room ; and then, when he had
'actually gone, she sank back in her chair,
with some little look of petulant disappoint-
ment. • -
"Bother the 'Frogs' 'of Atistophanes !"
said Mrs Hume, with admirable good -hum-
or. "But now, Helen dear, you can have
your cigarette if you like:"
CHAPTER II.
CROWHERST FARM.
s Early -next morning Mrs. Hume .was up
at Paddington station, and she was accom-
panied by Lady Helen, who had been her
guest in town. They were standing at the
book -stall when a man approachedthe taller
of the two ladies and said.,
"1 beg your pardon, madames.'"
She turned. He handed to her a glove
she had accidentally dropped.
" Qh, thank you very, very -much," she
said.
He raised his hat respectfully and passed
on, rejoining his companion, with whom he
had been walking up and down the plat-
,
form.
"What an odd-looking man !" observed
Mrs. Hume, glancing after him.
"That is a remarkably pretty girl who is
with him," said Lady Helen.
Meanwile those two, unaware that they
had attracted any notice or comment, were
continuing their idle stroll to and fro,- en-
tirely engrossed in each other's- talk. The
one of them (he who had 'picked -up Mrs.
Hunse's glove for her) was a powerfolly
built man, especially about the shoulders ;
of sallow complexion; dark. eyes and hair,
the latter with a touch • of gray; and short
side-whiakers. He as dressed quietly and
neatly; and his Manner was quiet; indeed,
his unobtrusive, almost deprecating de-
meanor, and his submissive eyes, joined to
the firmness of>his features and the massive
strength of his frame, were somehow sug-
gestive of a bull-dour'and the docile placidi-
ty of that animal. As for his companion,
that was another matter. This young
creature—here on a dull and commonplace
platform—seemed to be the very incarna-
tion of our English spring-time—the ideal
spring -time, that is to say, the -spring -time
of our lyric poets,_the spring -time of waving
daffodils, and saffron -tinted davims,of brooks
aad meads and budding willows, the spring-
time of youth ancl Merriment, of gay gar-
lands and jocund sports, of swift'glances
and sweet kisses -and coyness. Not tall she
was, yet of a perfect symmetry; her neck
slender, the head well poised ; her complex-
ion- of the rarest freshness—making one
think of clambering wild roses, both snow-
white and pink ; her hair of a light sunny
brown, and not so carefully garnered up
but that there Were stray tags and tangles
here and there, especially about the region
of the ears ; her eyes of a pellucid blue, full
of liqilid light, very honest and simple of
expression, meeting a stranger with frank
unconcern, and than instantly withdrawn in
-maiden bashfulness. The dark man with
the submissive expression and the powerful
shoulders stooped a little and walked de-
liberately ; this fresh -colored, sunny -haired
young creature, so light and free of step
was she, so erect and easy and lissome of
• carriage, so blithe and happy and eager of
air, leoked as though she longed to be away
among daisied meadows, with swift running
and laughter, and the scattering of blossoms
to the April winds.
She nestled close to her, father, and her
arm was tightly enclosed within his.
"Dodo, I am shivering with anticipa-
tion !" she said, with -smilingly parted
lips.
," Ala but you will be disappointed, Nan ;
you must coaut on being disappointed," he
said, almost anxiously. "The day is dull;
everything will look dismal. And I'm
'afraid we are making the experiment too
soon ; we should have waited till the end of
March, or perhaps even the .beginning of
Ma" •4- -."c§cA therc netliinz the

garden but snow drops and CroCtISes ; and
the woods are bare—you won't find a, single
'primrose yet; I went looking about every-
where the day before yesterday. If I
could only have found one as an encourage-
ment for you—"
"Dodo, I am dot going to be tlisappoint-
ed !" she said, interrupting him 'with a cer-
tain wilfulness. "1 want to ste the spring-
time from the very beginning—to watch the
very first symptoms of life • there will be a
new wonder every day; and you and I must
hunt together, you know. oh, I can tell
you, the expeditions I have been looking
forward to—"
"Yes, yes, Nan, but you are expecting
too much," hn said, with the same anxiety.
"You won't find things all as well arranged
and comfortable as they were at the vicar-
age, perhaps; you see, you had everything
there—" -
"Everything—except you, Dodo !" she
interposed.
"It's very nice of you to say so, Nan.
But—but you must not expect too much of
Crowhurst. You will find many things
wrong. And itwill ,be a great change for
you ; you may not like it—"
"Dodo, what are you talking about ?"
she remonstrated, warmly, "when the very
dream of my life has come true at last !"
The guard unlocked the doors; these two
entered a carriage, and no one sought to
follow ; and presently the train was slowly
creeping oat . from the platform. When
• they got away from the station_ and its sur-
roundings the daylight whitened somewhat ;
but it was a long time before the yi reached
the open country; and even then, when
there was anything of an extended view, ' it
was a wintry -looking landscape that lay be-
fore them—a landscape of gray, green, and
black—the silverygray of a clouded sky,
the harsh green of dank pasture, the purple -
black of trees and hedges. But was there
not also a tremulous gleam of sunshine here
and there, a faint glow on some field of
golden stubble or along the red furrows of
some newly ploughed land ? This man, at
all events, was eagerly, piteously, trying to
persuade himself that those clouded heavens
were going to break apart, that those vague
shafts of light were growing stronger.
" Oh yes. Nan,' he was sitying. "1
shouldn't wonder if we got a little sunlight,
after all, so that your first impression of
Crowhurst may not he -quite so unfavorable.
There is really some sunlight coming
through."
".Dodo, it is the very perfection of a
,spring -day !"- she insisted. " Don't you
feel how soft and4nild the air is? And how
can yon talk of unfavorable impressions,
when I am as happy as a bird let out of a
cage? Only I wish this train would hurry
quick—quick !"
They changed - at Twyford, and shortly
thereaftetreached Henley, which was their
destination. On the platform- they were
Pitcher's Castoria.
met by a gravtalooking elderly man; whb re-
ceived instructions about -the luggage; then
they were free to' gcx
"That was John, the gardener, Nan,"
her father explained to her. "1 . don't
knOW much about hisskillas it gardener,
but I got an excellent character with him,
and he will do any odd thing that's wanted
about the house. Now let us see if the boy
has- brought down the trap for us."
They passed out from the station into the
,clearer light and air, and presently Miss
Anne Summers found herself regarding,
with mingled surprise and admiration, an
exceedingly pretty little Stanhope phaeton
in darkly varnished oak, in the shafts of
which was a Smallish, clever -looking animal
of a light -cream color, with black main and
tail. .At the horse's Lad stood it diminu-
tive tiger in livery—boots, brass -buttoned
coat, and tall hat, all very trim and correct,
the whole turnout being very smart and
business -like.
"You don't think, Nan," said the girl's
father, rather timidly regarding her—" you
don't think—" it doesn't occur to you—that
there may be a little suggestion of the cir-
cus—"
"Oh, how :could you imagine such a
thing i" she exClaimed, as she stroked the
satin -smooth neck of the animal. "He is
just a beautifulereature !" - -
"I'm glad you don't mind," her father
said. " It wasn't for his looks I bought
him, you know—he has plenty of other
qualities, as you will find—and I was a
little afraid you might not care for his ap-
pearance."
"Why, if there's anybody in England
knows better than you, Dodo, what kind of
a horse to -buy, I Should like to know where
he is I" she said, as she went on to examine
with the greatest curiosity every part of the
polished harness—from the rosetted head-
piece, the brown leather collar, the brass'
tipped shafts, the shining pad-terrets, and
so on, right aft to the step enabling the
small tiger to jump into his perch.
" I'm glad you don't 'bind, Nan," he said.
"For this is my little present: for you—a
sort of welcome, you know. It is to be
entirely your own—as a kind of tamusement
" Oh, Dodo, Dodo !" the girl said, in an
undertone. " What next ?—what next?"
Get up, then,INan," he said.
What ? am Ito drive?"
" Why not ?"
"That will spoll the appearance of the
whole thing !"
"Ah, but I know better, Nan. You drive
very well—"
"The vicar's pony carriage !"
"But you have a good style. Oh yes, I
know," be said ; and he followed her into
the trap, as she took up the reins and the
whip, while the miniature groom released
the horse's head and got in behind. "
know, Nan," he said, as the horse, without
any prelhninary cantrips, at once went for-
ward into a rapid and easy pace. "You
have a good style. Shoulders square ; hands
low down and well in. I don't like to see
people reaching out as if they were driving
an American trotter. Why, if the horse
did make a mistake, they would be over on
the top of him in a second—no chance of re-
covery !"
Oh, Dodo, - isn't that beautiful?" she
cried, looking at what now came into view.
And yet it was only a pas ine glimpse
they got of river -side Henley; the smooth
olive-green stream ; the . low -arched bridge,
with a shimmer of silvery sun -light on
accurately mirrored on the still surface;
few red -tiled houses among leafless trees ;
the wooded heights above in a pale Feb-
ruary mfst. There was not a single boat
moving anywhere • nor did there seem to be
any life about Henley itself,, until they
turned the corner and drove into the main
street.
"It is quite a pretty town in summer-
time, Nan," he said, as if deprecating any
harsh judgment. "It is my fault, you
know, if I have brought you too soon."
" Why, how could you bring me too
soon, Dodo ?" she responded—" for me, at
least. If yon only knew—if you could only
guess—how I have been looking forward. to
this day ! I think it is too good to be true
—I think it will all vanish, and I shall find
myself back in the vicarage again, and no
Dodo with me at all."
From Hart street they turned into Bell
street, and so entered upon the Oxford
road, and in due tithe they eame in sight of
a long stretch of highway which he told her
was known far and wide as the Fair Mik—
a noble highway indeed, with a wide space
of common on each side of it, s the common
in its turn being bounded by twin rows of
magnificent elms. And now the spring day
seemed to be really declaring itself. Not
only was the air warm and sweet, but the
sunshine seemed to gain in strength ; the
low-lying hill on their right hand shone a
dull gold, and along the top of it the leaf-
less woods lay against it sky that had here
and there aglimmer of blue. The spirits of
this sallow -faced, quiet -looking man seemed
to rise ia little ill view of the cheerful oat-
look.
h yes, indeed, Nan," he said to her,
"you have a very good style in driving.
You sit well ; you keep your shoulders
square and your hands in. Many's the
time I've seen you driving the pony -car-
riage when you little thought I was looking
at you."
"What?" she said, in astonishment.
"Do you mean to say, Dodo; you were ever
near Chipping Pawlet without coming to see
me ?"
"Oh, well," he answered her, rather un-
easily, "it would not have done, Nan, you
know. There were the rules and regula-
tions to be observed.. The vicar and his
wife might not have liked. it. And I could
guess what would happen if I intercepted
you: you would have begged for another
day at Bristol, whereas the appointed days
came frequently enough."
"Ah, did they ?" she said. "Not for
me, then. I used to look forward to the
Bristol Slay as the one thing to live for ; and
you always -brought fine weather with you,
Dodo, for the beautiful woods and the
downs. And now there's going to be noth-
ing but Bristol days—it's going to be all
Bristol days—seven in a week !"
"1 hope they won't tire you, Nan," he
said, timidly.
She laughed; the happiness shining in
her eYes was sufficient answer.
When they got to The Traveller's Rest—
a solitary public -house of white•painted
boards—they still held on in the Oiford
direction, but after a space they left the
main highway, and he , directed her, by a
series of farm roads, into an upland region
of copse and heath and spinney, with undu-
lations of field and pasture, the heights and
hollows intersected by hedges and rows of
still leafless trees. And at last they came
to a fenced -in enclosure which seemed to
,contain a good deal of green—the green of
spruce and pine and ivied stumps; there
was a glimpse of red -tiled roofs and chim-
neys over a tall hedge of box and laurel,
tlien a white gate that the small groom
jumped down to open.
"This is Crowhurst, Wan," her father
said, regarding her with i den t apprehen-
sion. " I'm afraid you'll find it rather
lonely—it is rather out of the way, isn't
it? But I thought you could have your
• choice, you know, for there's plenty of life
and gayety at Henley, especially a little
later on in the year. I hope you won't find
it too secluded."
"Oh, Dodo, it is a perfect Paradise !" she

of every feature of the place—the shrub-

the irregular gables, the small .out -jutting
conservatory, and then the stables and
coach -house, apparently evolved out of older
farm -buildings, for there was st stain of
-green on the ruddy roofs, where a brass
weather -cock glittered in the sun.

you think, Nan ?" he said. " There's a bet-

from your window 'especially there is a very
nice view—over the woods and hollows.

he began to show her . over the
place, and she went from room to room with
an ever-increasing delight and wonder; for
how had he been able to do all this by him-
self, even to the bowls of daffodils placed
here and there? But it was when she en-
tered her own room up -stairs that her glad-
ness and gratitude reached their climax. It
was not a large roonnbut it was undoubted-
ly th p best situatedof any in the house ;
there were two windows, one giving a
glimpse of the roadway and a plantation of
young larch, the other commanding a
spacious view southward over "the garden
and orchard, and over the more distant
fields and hollows, and wooded heights that
rose into the pale sunshine of the spring
sky. These were but externals. When she
turned to the fittings and adornments of
this chamber—to the prints and drawings,
the seven -volume edition of Tennyson in a
little book -shelf slung near the bed head, a
large illustrated Herrick on the table by
the window, the snow -drops and violets
placed in glass tubes and dishes on the man-
tel -shelf, and a hundred similar evidences
of thoughtfulness and attentive forecast—
she began to recall and to understand the
meaning of many a mysterious question that
had been addressed to her when he and she
had been walking on Clifton Down or driv-
ing along the Somersgtshire lanes. She
knew now. Far away back be had been
trying to find out what particular things
she would like to have in the room that was
to be specially her own, and he had • forgot-
ten nothing.
"Nan !" he exclaimed, in great alarm—
for though she had turned to the window,
he could see that tears were running down
her
rcheeks—" Nan ! I knew it would be too
• lonely for you—I knew it; but never mind
—we will find some other place—oh yes—
we will find some place you.. will like bot -
ter,"
"Oh, Dodo, Dodo, don't make me
ashamed !"- ahe said; and she took his hand
in both Of hers and kissed it in gratitude.
"It isn't that—you know it isn't that ; it
is because you are so good to me."
"Then you are not—disappointed ?"
"Disappointed !" she said, smiling
through her tears. "When I cannot find
words to tell you how beautiful everything
is, and how kind you are to me ! '
• "Oh, that's it, is it ?" said he, recovering
himself directly. "What a fright you gave
me! Well, come away down, Nan.
Luncheon must be about ready ; I hear Jane
coining and going."
So she flung her hat and jacket on the
coverlet and followed him down -stairs,
where she found the dining -room table very
prettily laid out, with more daffodils and
snow -drops and crocuses, pale purple and
white and gold.
"Now, which do you think you will have,
Nan ?" he said, going first of all to the side-
board. "There will be cutlets coming in a
moment, with mashed potatoes, and there's
a hot steak and kidney pie, with mush-
rooms. I wasn't quite sure of the fish, you
see, in a small inland town, but I must find
out about that later on. Or, if you would
rather have something cold, here's some
pressed beef that looks pretty fair, and
there's a fowl, and liana, and a lobster, and
a tongue, and there's some endive salad
that I think you'll like."
"Dodo," she remonstrated, "if I am go-
ing to manage this house, it must be in a
very different fashion. What extravagance!
Two hot dishes for luncheon! I cannot al-
low such a thing."

—Says the Norfolk Reformer : "Mr.
Patrick McMaster, who was the oldest set-
tler in this region at the time of his death,
after a short illness, died Monday morning,
October 29th, at his home in Lynedoch. Mr.
McMaster was born at Oakland, Upper
Canada, November 26th; 1801. He came
to Lynedoch, then called big Creek, in 1835,
the post office under the name of Lynedoch
having been established in 1852. In 1837
Mr. McMaster built- a saw mill on Big
Creek, between concessions eleven and
twelve, Charlotteville'which he operated
till 1854, when he sold it to Wm.H.Dackett,
of Albany, New York, who refitted it and
kept it in operation till 1860. Mr. McMas-
ter kept a hotel for many years and was
widely known. The greater part of the
village flat of Lynedoch was surveyed from
his premises ; about the first sale of village
property having been made by him to Gray
& Charlton in 1853 for the purpose of fur-
nishing them a site for the store they then
erected. Later be gave sites for the Baptist,
the Methodist and the Presbyterian
churches. He was an honest and public
spirited citizen. His death removes almost
the last of our early settlers."
