'He shrank from the innocent gaze
of the blue eyes uplifted, to his as if
it had stung him; he turned away and
took a careful aim with his stick at a
white butterfly hovering about a bush.
Neither of thein perceived the deep
significance of the actio, or remem-
bered that the butterfly symbolizes
the soul, but Jessie was strangely jar-
red and she was glad when the wing-
ed creature fluttered lightly away un-
hurt into azure freedom
"Yet it must be so hard tcedie and

you know. Men don't, at least men of
the world. Of course, (me had a sort
of a feeling that one couldn't expect
to go to the good place; but funking
was no good. 'Take your licking and
don't squeal,' we used to say at Eton.
Besides, many better fellows had to go
there, for we were all in for it to-
gether."
"I don't 'think," continued Jessie
with sudden warmth, "that I should
care to go to heaven if you were shut
out of it. I mean,"she added with glow-
ing confusion in her swiftly flushing
face, "a man who did that—turned
back, wounded, bleeding, weak, into
that fire to save another more helpless
than himself. That is real religion—
saving others."
At these burning words a deep emo-
tion seized the young man, or .tather a
tumult of mingled ernotions; hs lheart

the amazing audacity of perfect in-

she would have trusted the warrior
archangel himself, the beautiful young
Michael with his burning suit of bright
armor. The moment was impressive,
the silence seemed tol quiver with in-

"I am afraid," faltered Jessie at last,
"that my tongue runs away, with roe.
I don't often talk to people."

he reached the Court, cheerful and
h
good-tempered as usual.

would have driven to Cleeve with her. d
Being Sir Arthur's ward, and having d

fallen into fraternal relations with her m
cousin. This was all very well in one

CHAPTER IX.
ENGAGED.
In a moment Claude was kneeling by
her side, half surrounding her with his
arm scarcely knowing What he did,
for he was one of those men who are
wax to a woman's tears, "Jessie,
Jessie! Are you hurt? Heavens! Did
the beast bite you?" he added, taking
and examining her ungloved hands,
and remembering that they had grasp-
ed the viper's head.
"Your face!" she sobbed. "It al-
most--"
"But it didn't, thanks to you!' /How
you tremble. Look op. dear Jessie,
look up—I am all right."
Jessie continued to tremble, though
she recovered herself sufficiently to
'withdraw her hands from the kisses
pressed upon them -kisses she was too
agitated to heed -kisses more danger-
ous than adders' bites. Afterwards
she was vaguely conscious that her
hands had been kissed, but she never
remembered what actually passed.
"Come Jessie, look up, what is there
to cry about?" he said, releasing her
hands, "the beast is stone dead."
"It —was so—slippery," she said,
eh ildishly, "I—I was so frightened."
She possessed the rare art of crying
gracefully, her flushed face only look-
ed sweeter through tears, her features
kept, their dainty curves, her eyes

"To be surel the goose!" laughed Sir
Arthur; "Claude and Randal stole the
goose and hid it, and another man
asked them to dine upon it, his servant
having seen and snatched it. The vil-
lain made a merit of feasting them on
therr own goose."
Jessie sped breathlessly homeward,
shocked at the lateness of the hour;
but when she reached Redwoods,
where a pungent fragrance of wood -
smoke and baccn made all healthily
hungry people still more hungry by
anticipation, was relieved to find that
her delay Was unnoticed, dinner not
being yet on the table.
One glance around the room Was
sufficient to show her practised eye
that a tempest was lowering upon the
domestic horizon. Cousin Jane was
laying the cloth with her own hands,
a wholly unnecessary thing, pointing
to storm on the Redwoods barometer..
"To be sure, anybody can but be wore
out," she was saying mournfully, when
Jessie came in with the soft freshness
of a spring breeze, "and the sooner the
better in a world like this. I don't
know as there's anybody to care when
I'm gone -without tis the funeral ex-
rnnses," she added, showering the
ives and forks with a clatter upon
the table.
Jessie knew better than to make any
remark or offer to help; she looked in-
quiy ingly at Mr Plummer, who stood
in the English householder's command-
ing position on the hearth -rug, trying
to appear at his ease. Beauty was not

plexion, with sun and storm, the frost

"Thank ye, Jane, I don't care if I do
have a cut of that ham," said Mr Plum-
mer, as if in response to an invitation,
after handing Jessie her plate of pie.
"You mayn't have the chance long,"
she sighed, beginning to carve; "for I
will say this, there ain't a many can
match my hams. Not that I was ever
one to boast. The many hams I've
cured, and no thanks. It's in Wood
blood."
"There ain't a many can match your
tongue," added Mr Plummer hastily,
bending his jovial face over his foam -
topped mug of ale, and receiving a
hearty kick under the table froin Ro-
ger; who had lust bounded into th
room, all blowsed and ruddy from the
thorough scrubbing that always pre-
ceded his dinner, "You was always
good at tongue," he added, evidently
reckless of consequences and altogeth-
er demoralized and defiant.
