I shall run very fast down the elope be- yond the Head. Good -morning, Captain Tredennick." She stretched out her little hand in its poor little knitted woollen glove; and Captain Tredennick, feeling himself a grandfather at least, took it and drew it safely within his arm. "If you are going to run, 1 shell run too," said he, smiling protectingly, "until I see you run safe in at your father's doer." But Winnie colored deeply, looked frightened, apologized, and ri3fused. "Well, you will allow me to walk be- side you as far as Tregarthen Head, if you will not except my eine, Mins Caerlyon?" requested Captain Tredene nick, feeling rather mortified, and feel- ing less like Winnie's grandfather than the sailor in the presence of another sailor's daughter, which he had consid- ered himself the evening befare-and a sailor's daughter who had repulsed his proffered. kindness very decidedly. "A strange, distant, shy little thing," he said, mentally. And thew be looked again at the small, earnest features, the sinciaus, lined brow, the gentle, plead- ing look in the dark, deep-set eyes, and little, frail womanly figure looking so lonely and forlorn on that desolate road., the thin fluttering garment e oprinkled by the salt spray and mist from the thundering billows crashing tegeinst the face of the cliffs, and. the tender, pas- sionate pity that is ever in ths3 'wenn, strong heart of a tru.e man for :feminine defeneelessnees and bodily weakneas inse within him, throbbing to his very Bps. "Oh, no, Ea'," she said, hurriedly, in answer to his half -provoked query; "you are exceedingly kthd, but I could not think of troubling you; and-beaides-" "Besides what?" asked he, la.ughl"ng. "I am not such a, gay young spark that you should object to my eseort, Mies Winnie; and 1 RBI delighted to have aome company along this bare bit of road.

"The Truscott.s?" questioned Winnie. "Oh, yes, you will, Captain Tredenniak, for there is Tolgootth mine bell ringielg for sixo'clock, and they are (natant; tee at six, you know." "You kno* them, then -a worthy old pair they are!" said Captain Tredennick, turning abruptly off the maint road. "Come down Mennacerthen Lane, then, Miss Caerlyon; it will not table you a quarter of a mile out of your, road, and you will stop at Tregarthen a few minutes. I am getting hungry, if you are not, and mean to ask old lllother Truscott for a cup of tea." But Winnie hesitated, eolore d, and. looked distressed again. "Come along," said he, gayly, offer- ing his pilot eloth covered. arm Vor her acceptance a second time.

"I. In - less you aro in a terrible hurry to at home, or are afraid that I am going to eat you," he added, banteringly. His words seemed to strike anun- pleasant chord in the girl's mindehe did not accept his arm, but she quitted the high road and turned down the lane to Tregarthen beside him. "I am never afraid except when I am, doing wrong," she returned, firmly and. quietly; "and I only want to be hoane in time to get breakfast ready, sins" "That is very good of you to be so helpful to your mother," remarked -Cap- tain Tredennick, approvingly, fairing in- to the fatherly style again as lte and Winnio walked slowly along the rough muddy lane. But no ray of glad filial pleasure and gratitude sparkled hi the girl's grave face. "It is my duty, of course, to do all that I can to help them when help is required," she said seriously. "Ared there is a great deal to be done in ,a house like ours." "Ah, plenty of little brothers and. sis- ter?" queried Captain Tredeaniak, "Yes, sir," replied Winnie, gravely; "there are six of them, and. the new baby----" "The new baby?" echoed. Cae ftetin-Tred- ennick. "And the new baby i the most troublesome of the lot, (mgage." "Oh, no, no, sir," said Wi nine, look- ing up into his face, rather puzzled to discover if he were in jest er earnest; "she is a dear, gentle, pa tient little creature. 1 ani afraid she is itot healthy -she is so quiet."

"You won't come in, then, for a min- ute, or two, and have a cup of hot tea, or warm yourself at the fire?" he said, disappointedly; and then some dint re- membrance of the conventionalities glided across his mind, and he acquiseed unwillingly in her decision. "Well, good bye, then," he added, pressing the little woollen gloved. hand, "since you want to get rid of me." He looked so pleasant, eta kind, so handsome, smiling sunnily down on her from the light of his true, clear blue eyes -he, Tredenniek of Tregarthen, captain of the East India merchantman Chittoor, nephew of the wealthy aristo- cratic lady who bore her foreign -sound- ing title of "-Maclean," as all the wives of the heirs of Roseworthy had done for generations, so grandly that "Mad- am Vivian," or "Madam of Roseworthy" became a standard in the mind of the humble one of the earth, miners and their wives, her village proteges paid favorite poor, women., by which to mestsuro the coniparative merit* and greatness of other aristrocate-he, a learned gentleman, a brave sailor, grand fitrid great in his years, his strength, his handsome face, his moneyed indepen- dence -he so kind and courteous to her -to her, poor, plain -looking, ill -clad ,Winnie Caerlyon, whom her shrewish fAep-mother called "a great, awkward, gad -about of a maid," when she has the misfortune to require new boots -worn out, perhaps, all the sooner by her long walks to Roseworthy, which, in its lux- ury, elegance and quiet, was poor Win- mie's Paradise Regained on earth. "I do not indeed, Captain Tredenniek," was poor Winnie's childish reply; and the great tears started. to her sad, earn- est gray eyes. "Please don't think me xude." She was so awkward, so unpolished, so ignorant, she thought. Her step -mother often said so, broadly and directly; Madam Vivian often hinted it in lady- like language of rebuke or advice. Winnie had very good and sufficient reasons for speaking and acting as she did, apart from all ideas of mere eti- quette; and it was that knowledge, and the shy, proud fear of its being discov- ered, that made her brows knit so nerv- ously and her pale face flush beneath the sailor's gleam.. "My dear child," said he, very gently, "I think nothing but -that you are a good, .sensible, thoughtful 'dr]." The words were but kindly paternal in tone and purport, and, as he uttered them, he laid. one hand reassuringly on her shoulder. whilst the other clasped her little, miiserably cold, woollen -gloved fingers in farewell; but Winnie shrank beneath that gentle touch and the smile of those clear blue eyes, and the nervous twitching of her brow and lips grew more distressful. There was no magical wishing -stone by these moss -grown. great pillars, no wishing -well bubbled forth its fateful waters beneath the clustering masses of evergreens, trailing Ivy, gleaming laurel, and dark, prickly carnelian -jewelled hol- ly which grew dank and. close in the ne- glected shrubbery, ft and, climbing the boundary wall, spread their dark, heavy foliage lown to shelter th epair who stood beneath; but Stephen Tredenniek wished. as he stood there, as he had nev- er wished. before. Something -he knew not what -had touched. his heart because of this poor little maiden's girlish lone- liness and poverty. Truth to tell, he had hitherto known very little, and cared to know less, of smell girls or big gils, old maids or young ones. This new sensation WAS therefore as strange and. unaccountable as his wishing that Win- nie Ceeelyon lived in a comfortable, handsome house, that she had no work to do, that she were indulged and petted, and made pretty presents to, like other happy girls; that she were Madam Vivian's daughter and his little cousin, or sister, or relative in some way; that she had not to trudge off to Tolgooth Bay, this bitterly cold wild. March inorn- ing, and that she had a warmer and bet- ter packet on. She looked so thinly clad and so cold, poor little creature! One of those rich, handsome. satin -lined fur things, now, that young ladies wore in the Park or in Regent street, would be just the very thing for her. Oh, how he wished there were a fur -shop within walking distance, that he xnight go in and buy one for her! Stephen Tredennick' e one great luxury and extravagance was to make the most acceptable and delightful presents to people that‘ it was possible for them to receive -from marvellous, wildly -longed - for buckhorn-handled, sfx-bladed pocket- knives to youngsters at school, to robes or cobweb muslin spangled with beetles' wings from Oriental climes for their sis- ters. He would get one for her as soon ses ever he went back to London -the very softest and richest and warmest of the satin -lined fur jackets which the , young lady in the fur shop could show him! And send it to her? No; he must get Madam to give it for him, and say something kind to pass it off; it was not quite correct -those droll landsmen's no- tional -to give presents of rich clothes to strange young ladies. Young lady? Why, was he not almost old enough to be the poor child's father? Well, no, not quite. She was about six- teen, perhaps, .and he was nearly thirty- three -more than double her age, but not quite old enough to be her father. Well, Madam could give the jacket, with his kind regards, to Miss Winnie Caerly- on, and say that he hoped she would wear it for his sake -would that do? No; say -say, Wear it if she pleased Lor a keepsake. Sixteen. and thirty-three --quite a, thild to him! Surely an hon- est plain sailor might make a little girl a nice useful present? Ala sixteen and thirty-three; svell.welll Perhaps be might saw something about it now, and prepare the way; it might please her -young girls were fond of pretty clothes, poor Iittle things -it was wieariy all the pleasure they had in life, except when they had a sweetheart. She would be pleased, perhaps, if he told her, and it would brighten up the rims, lown. cast, thin little faee. "You caught no cold from your wet - ng last night, I hope?" he begstt.

"X have plenty of wraps, thitaik yOtt„ sir, and the morning$ are seldem'as cold as thie." But the wilrl March morning, in re-, morse, perhaps, for its severity to the poor little maid, was kindly propitious to Captain Tredennick's generous wishes; and, sending a sudden whirling blast, it blew a long, long tress of curling brown hair from beneath the silk net into which its luxuriance was thrust, and wafted it right across to Captain Trodonnick's shoulder, twisting it around oue of his anelior buttons in a highly ingenious manner. • "You might give me that long soft pretty curl as a keepsake, Mise Geer- lyon," said he, laughing, as he carefully unwound the errant trees; "it wanted to come to inc evidently.

"Mindas soon as (nor send nty keepsake, you nmat send yours , " • he went on, looking earnestly dawn into the pure giatish little face upturned to his own, as she murmured baeliful thanks, and. deeper unuttered thanks for his kind words, his kind voiee, his kind manners -oh, this kind, great, tall, • strong, leraye, Vanasome captain of the East Indiaman Chittood-shone from the dark depths of hell lustrous grey eyes. "You haven't promised yet, Miss Win- nifred," he &aid with brotherly pleas- antry, keeping hold of her -she being but sixteen to his great seniority af thirty-three-- "perhaps I had better snake sure of my keepsake now! What is the matter?" The suddeu ejaculation was net unrea- sonable, for Winnie in an instant had sprung from his side and the caressing touch of his hand, her face flaming crimson and then fading deadly White, and the dark grey eyes, which had glowed with such girlish enthusiasm of gratitude upon him, dilating for a moment with a sort of terror' and then blazing with a proud defiantanger that startled. her companion as a new revelation of her chsaneter. "Good morning to you, Miss Wiimiel You can take early strolls fast enough, fl'eheel" Tstrange voice had. the peculiar diisagreeable quality of being a naturally vulgar one, with a strong provineial ac- cent, and likewise, being such, was tar- nished over, so to speak, with 11, far more vulgar assumPtion of genteel tone and pronunciation, which tiesorted as well with it as the genteel affectation did with the provyincral form of dialect, and as well, or as ill, as it did with the fa.ec and figure which had suddenly con- fronted Winnie. It seemed to Captain Tredennick, in his seagry, startled 'surprise, ao if the in- truder meet have eprung out of the earth -this Fp= e, sinewy, undereized man, with a shrewd, foxlike, narrow face, and a gleam of a cold impleasa,n.t smile in the cunning twinkling red -brown eyes, and curving around the thin. pointed lips, as he darted a quick glance from Winnie to Captain Tredenniek. "Good morning, Mr. Pascoe," the girl said, coldly and distantly; "I am not taking an early stioll, though, as I dare say you know very well, but am return- ing hoone from Madam Vivian's." The man addressed merely lifted hiti eyebrows in a most disagreeably im- pertinent smile of disbelief, and ehook ius head slightly. "Going home from Madam Vivian's by Menamearthen lane and into Tregar- then House?" said he, showing the edge of his teeth, and the smile changing into a frown. "I was not going into Tregarthen House, Mr. Pascoe!" eto-reed the color rushing back to her pallid cheeks, and her eyes flashing. "Weren't you? li'm! It looked very like it, Mies Winnie," he replied, with an insolent aseumption of easy famil- t\\3;.io is this Person?" demanded. Cap - fain Tredennick, hotly. "Mr. Thomas Paecee-the purser of the Tolgooth Mines, ;Led a relation. 01 my step -mother's, sir," replied Winnie, a thane of angry defiance in her cheeks and eyes, as she partly turned her back on that individual. He perceived the action of gir1h3h dis- dain, and the crafty underbred face grew full of the petty malice of a mean, little - minded inan's revenge for a woman's slight. "No need for ye to be so angry, miee," said. he, with a sneering laugh; "I never tell on ye to your father or mother! That is all the thanks I get -and stand your friend in many a way besides!" "I don't want your friendehip!" cried Winnie, furiously ,in a :sudden childish rage that shook Captain Tredennick's , belief in the patience of his, gentle little ' maid very eensiderably. "1 don't ---I don't like you -and you know it, Mr. Pascoe! You are always tormenting me; and 1 thad rather never see one eight of you or hear your voice -now!" She burst into a passionate fit of crying, and Captain Tredennick stood. in confounded silence for a moment. "Yo're kickin' up a pretty rigs about it, sure enough," said Mr. Pascoe, with an evil look, ,and thrusting his hands deep into his coat pockets; "ye might speak eivilly, like a well-behaved maid, I think. Are'e gain' to stand hero any longer ,or are, 'e going to come home to your father's house?" "I am not going with you," replied Winnie, choking down her sobs; "and I will go home when I ilke, and stay out as long as 1 like, independently of you, sir, You have no authority over me!" "Sir," said Captain Tredenniek, rais- ing his hat an inch or two, and deal- ing Mr. Pascoe a look of terrible quer- ter-deck politeness, "I will seo Miss Caerlyon home, if you please. I over- took her on the road and----” "Ye will, will 'e?" rejoined Mr. Tho- mas Pascoe, turning bully on the spot, and his genteel ecent falling away from his Cornieh dialect like thin stucco. on tt plaster facade. "Then I think 'e had better not let the Leftenant nor hes wife see their daughter walkin' home across tho fields at the break of day with a strauge speed: of a fellow! She'd pay dear for her sweethearting ef they did, I can toll 'e!" 'Winnie never uttered. word or eray in answer to the coarse taunt, but sho shrank as if a mortal blow had struck her. Tightening her little faded ehantl emivulsively around her, she ex- tended her hand to Captain Tredennick, without daring to lift her eyes. "Good-bye, sir -oh, good-byel Thai* you for corning so far. Please don't mind him," she muttered, her very brows burning in an agony of ,tharee. (To be Continued.)
