n -d bnt a few days
of the conspirators
took place in the cave—a meeting that was
to lie followed instantly by an outbreak
which was to decide Lis fate for weal or for
woe.
His dreams w ere feverish that tight, and he
awoke unrefreshed. before 11i■■ usual time.
Early as it was, however, Antonio the fisher
man was waiting in the gr at hall. He had
come, he said, to inform the Count that he
and Graziala were about o pav a visit to a
near relative for a few da; s, but that they
sh< uid not remain longer away from their
home. The Count w;;s surprised at this in
telligence, as Graziala had not given him any
intimation that her fa!her or herself intend
ed to undert ike a journey so suddenly.
However, there appeared to lie no help for
it; and he only regretted that he should not
have an opportunity of bidding his betrothed
good-by before she set out to make her visit,
inasmuch as he had very important business
to transact before he should l>? able to leave
the castle, with a messenger who bad, he was
informed, just arrived in relation to it. Of
this latter he apprised Antonio, who seemed
quite aware of how the case stood between
his daughter ami the noble; but who made
no allusion to it now, save what might be in
ferred from the simple assurance of her
speedv return to the cabin.
No sooner had the fisherman left the castle
than the count repaired to his chamber once
more and before summoning the messenger
to his pre-ence seated himself at a window
that looked out upon the distant hut which
now so strangely held all that wa3 most dear
to him and who, notwithstanding her humble
and anomalous position, h<; well knew
deserved all the love and affection he could
bestow upon her. Of her education and re
finement he had become assured, as well as
of the nobility of hersoul. although surprised
at the reluctance with which she entered into
any conversation with him in relation to her
father. Her sudden and unaccountable emo
tion on the previous evening perplexed him
much, as did the matter of her showing him
the ring; but these were matters which would
doubtless be cleared an in due time, so he
must now console himself with the conviction
tbnt he possessed the deep and undivided love
of the fair girl from whom he was to be sep
arated for a short period only, as he was fully
convinced.

saw Antonio pushing Graziala before him in
the direction of the boat that now lay by the
shore with its mast set and its sail half mi
furled. The poor girl was evidently weeping
for her head was bow r ed and her hands were
raised to her face, in an instant he was at
tired and out on the steps of the castle, but
just as he gained the path leading to the hut
the boat was shoved off and both father ar d
daughter were soon speeding away before the
wind, and were quickly shut out from his
view bv the bold promontory that lay be
tween him and the fishing ground. In an
agony of despair he continued his w T ay until
he reached the cabin from which he had often
assured Graziala he should remove her and
her father to more suitable quarters, tut here
hq found the door securely locked.
He now strode down ‘to the beach, without
any definite purpose and while gazing on the
strand from w hich his beloved bad just de
parted, be perceived a small s‘rip of parch
ment wound about a shell t-hat lay at his
feet. To seize and unfold it was but the work
of a moment. It bore some charactes hastily
written, but which he at once perceived had
reference to himself, for bis name and that
of Graziala were clearly' discernible, together
with an in junction to him to flv from the
castle at once. More bewildered than ever

full and frank explanation from Graziala of
all this mystery on her return and to inauce
her to become his wdfe without delay, so that

On arriving at the castle he found the mes
senger anxiously awaiting his return, and
ascending with him to the apartment already
mentioned he learned that the conspirators
would be at the cave on the night, of the
tenth day succeeding the one at which we
have now arrived. This intelligence was no
more than he anticipated, but so distressed
was he with the eveuts of the morning^ that

Now be ready by the time I come with my

She would occasionally ride with him, but
:io word of suspicion ” was ever breathed
against her. Ail knew the misery and woe
she had undergone, ami they took pleasure
in cheering and aiding her to forget the fear
ful past. Her friends hoped she would mar
ry the kind, good gentleman who had shown
so much respect for her. Marriage with
him had never entered Mary’s mind. She
had regarded his attentions as being promp
ted by a kindly nature sympathizing with
her on account of the troubles she had passed
through.
Rest, with good, nutritious food, had great
ly benefitted Mary’s health. Her face had
lo-t the pallid look of fear; her cheeks had a
slight roseate tinge, her glossy faair was still
glossy, and her dark blue eyes with their long
dark lashes were still bright, and with that
sud, subdued expression she interested all
who met her. Her form and size were fault
less. Always dressed in deep black that suit
ed best her melancholy thoughts, she was
one with whom no person could long be wi b
without loving. The gentleman who rescued
her from the ruffians would frequently call
and take her to his house, especially if his
w ife or children were sick. Her name be
came a household word with them. The poor
and distressed generally always found a true
friend in Mory. If she saw a little street-
arab, she would find a place for it where its
condition was bettered, saying the while,
“May o; hers do likewise for my poor little
lost one.”
She never gave up the hope of again seeing
her child. One evening she was out walking
on a retired street and came face to face with
the most hideous-looking old hag that she
had ever seen, who asked her if she did not
want her fortune told. The creature looked
so repulsive that Mary’s first impulse was to
run, but overcoming it she said,
“Yes, I believe I do. And now I remem
ber,” she added, “an old gentleman told me
of you.”
“Told ycuen uv me! Who the devil has
been er mixin’ up my name in any way ?”
“He didn’t mean any harm, or say any
thing against you. But will you tell me my
fortune? I want you to tell me in regard to
what ”
“Now, white woman, stop right thar. That
is the wav they do—always go and tell thar
life before they git it from me; so, worn an,
don’t tell me nothin’,—let me do the telling,
and if I don’t tell it mighty corr-cfc, you may
chip off my old head; for many has gone to
a better home than Jj have got apd lived in.
I have exhausted the world at large.”
Mary did not underssand that foolish sen
tence, but listened on as the old woman con
tinued:
“Woe has it been ter me that I ever left
my native country ai.d roamed round with
another; but I am strong now ana all ye
powerless around me, and I have never let
youens know what my business is. I sit un
der my own fig tree and chaw my own ter-
baccer and never swaller any ambier. Now
woman, put yer foot on this pack of kerds,
make yer wish—do it quick but say nothing.
Thar, that’s enough. Here—yes, here, this
kerd shows disappiutment. Yes, and look at
that man—yes, a man and a child too! You
may be married and you may not; that I
don’t know. Here—seven for luck. Oh, ye
air proud, sure; love high associates—’um.
Here is disappintments—great less; but ye’ll
have much, much success yit.”
Mary was too much frightened to say any
thing to the old hag, but she paid her and
hurried off to her own room. She thought
if witches were burnt in these days the old
creature she had just left would surely go to
the faggot and flame.
Troubles make some people superstitious.
Mary caught at dreams and omens. Sho now
had a fresh hope although coming from such
a repugnant source. She had written to
every postmaster she could think of, but no
information had she gained. This was the
first day she had 1 een encouraged in the hope
of again seeing her child. The day after see
ing the old women a letter was handed her.
She quickly opened it, ai d read as fellows:
“Dear Madam—Your letter received, and
I would have answered earlier, but I have
been making enquiries for the man and child
you described. I have ascertained that about
a year ago a man came through here by the
name of Peacock, and hire d a woman who
kept a very low house to take charge of a
child, and I understand she h s it still. I
will be glad to render you any assistance in
my power. Yours very respectfully,
Ashby Redwine.”
and care. People say the old hag lives
squalid poverty.”
Mary shuddered at the thought of the little
fellow's sufferings and began to drsnd again
lest it w as dead. She said she v,\ +wc ry are
she would know him for the last time Pea
cock was at home before he stole it, eii her
accidentally or purposely be chopped off the
child's great toe on the left foot; by which
means it could be easily identified.
By this time the boy whom Mr. Redwine
had told to catch his horse and to get one for
the lady, came to say they were ready. Mr.
Redwine used every argument to induce
Mary to remain and let him go alone. He
said there w T as danger if any of the men were
about, but he had heard tin y had gone on a
tramping expedition, still he prepared himself
for the worst, insisting that she should let
him go alone.
“Ob, sir, I c-annot! I would go wild with
fear and apprehension of farther evils. Ob!
Mr. Redwine, I might be some help to you in
case of resistance. With your determina
tion and bravery I know yon aie a host
in yourself, still I might be able to help yon
and 1 will share the danger with you.”
“Miss Mary, I think we are bound to suc
ceed. Our cause is right and just before God
and man and we have tile nerve to do w'bat
is right, so I will help you to mount your
horse.”
He eould not bear to call her by the name
of Peacock. They had agreed ip ride on in
silence; it was too dark to see far ahead and
they rode as fast as the darknessp.nd the road
would permit. When they could rue a-rtast
they held a whispered conversation. She
askedagain for everything he could tell ot ber
child. He asked about her parents; she only
told him they had moved away from their
old home. He judged from the melancholy
tone of her voice that there wa3 something
wrong in that quarter too, and decided that
Peacock must be at the bottom of .it. How
he detested the wretch who hail brought all
this ruin on an innocent and too confiding
family.
At last they came up to the hut. Redwine
had taken the pains to go and get a good
look at it and all its surroundings. He made
it a rule after writing to Mary to rids out
there frequently. He would fiU his pockets
with candy and cakes to toll the three starv
ed looking children the hag had charge of, to
get them to come to him. To the old hag
herself he would give a little flask of whisky,
pretending he called to get some water to put
m his toddy. He would be extremely friend
ly with “granny,” as the children called her,
and whenever he came granny would wipe
off the chair she gave him with her apron or
her rag of a sun bonnet, He would praise her
grandchildren. One, sue said, was not
“hen,.but t/tpt af thing Jikst’fyalt <vs lookin ’

that, sir. He looks like he was seein’ speer-

don’t like the creetur nohow, fur its taking
the bread outen my own children’s mouths;
but Ike says it has to be kept here, for he
knew the daddy in the mountains and they
were counterfeiters together and mighty
great friends.”
Redwine fearedbvhen ha was made the de
pository of that piece of news, so he in an
adroit manner questioned the hag to find out
if she was aware of the importance of the j
secret. She was not; had hardly an idea in penniless scamp could not get further than
regard to the penalty attached to it; rather the depot. But he was not visible when Red-

Redwine Lai pea at her door to give her
some clothes for the child until she could
make some. He seemed to know and think
of everything. She washed, combed and
dressed the haggard, half-starved child, talk
ing, kissing and petting it all the while.
He: bi eekfast was sent in to her, and very
carefully she fed the famished little one. She
sent for Redwine after he had eaten Lis
breakfast. Holding the boy - up to him, she
asked:
“Would you have recognized him as the
dirt and rags we picked up and brought
here?”
He took the little fellow up in his arms
and fondled him. The child knew him and
gabbled his childish talk. Mr. Redwine
said:
“Miss Mary, I now see a strong resem
blance to yourself.”
The foot was carefully examined. It had
healed badly,and the scar was there. Mary
told Redwine he ought to leave this place
now; “from w hat you told me of that moun
taineer, ike, i am afraid he is daring enough
to way lay you. Resign this office and come
home with uie, and I know you will be joy

. Redwine replied:
“If I can find a deputy before the stage

to prot; co you against ubv unf osecn danger.
“Ge, Mr Redwine; hurry and lind one.and
make your arrangements to go home with
me. do get ready I” said happy Mary.
Sue never let the child from her arms, but
held fast to him as if she feared again to
lo=e him. Redwine found a suitable deputy
and all were ready tie time the stage came
in. In tke stage were some goo d l utign rant
old farmers w ham Redw ine knew. As they
talked on their own affairs without cessation
they were no hindrance to the confidential
conversations of Mary and Redwine. She
gave him an outline of all that had passed in
regard to her father’s affairs. No names
were called, but each knew the allusion the
other made. Mr. Redwine said:
“The place you saw was my refuge after
that unfortunate duel.”
Mary interrupted him with,
“Never give that circumstance a thought.
I said at the time he was a bad ma and
without any sense of honor, and perhaps, by
doing as you did, you have saved some ; oor,
confiding family from his clutches. 1 only
look on it in this way, that you were only an
instrument in God’s hands. From what I
know of bad men I think the world was well
rid of him.”
At last the old farmers got tired talking of
their crops and got to telling news. One
said:
“What do you ’spose made that old woman
yell so this morning as we were passing her
hut?”
“And squalling and screeching for ike?
Who is Ike-' Do you know.”
One answered:
“Ike is a bully that ought to be in the pen
itentiary for life, according to my belief and
from what I knot- ff- bin-:.’’
Mary exchanged glances with Redwine and
he asked in a careless way,
“Have any of you seen Ike thi3 morning?”
One said,
“I saw a fellow who was going down the
red mill for him as one of the children was
dead or lost, but I was riding so fast I could
not bear exactly.”
Mary hugged and pressed her child closer i
to her bosom and breathed many prayers for
its safety. Redwine did not doubt but that

said:

and great enough to be of service to both |

After it was settled that Redwine would
j not return to that dangerous locality, M iry
was better satisfied and so was he. They
el ; at'ed pleasantly as they travelled on.
When they arrived at the city Mr. Belmont

Mr. Belmont laughingly said:
*'You shall not quarrel over each other’s
good qualities, for t see the very act required
nerve and daring and only the" brave could
have succeeded as you did.”
It was evening and they all took supper to
gether. At a later hour Mr. Belmont left,
taking Mr. Redwine home with him and tolu
him.
"Now, this is vour home unti

He read the letter and said: “I will go with

It was needless for him to go, she said.
“But you may be running into danger.”
“I am not afraic’; I know Mr. Ashby
Redwine and he is brave and the soul of
honor.”
Mary’s preparations were made in time for
leaving on the first train. Her friend kind
and true, took her in his carriage to the
depot and saw her start on her journey.
She was placed particularly under the con
ductor’s care. Her friend and employer

dreaded when she found her child she might
refuse to be his wife. She had told him she
wished never to marry again, but he hoped
he could induce her to change her mind and
accept him, for he really loved her.
On her journey Mary took time to think of
his parting words. “If I marry him,” she
thought, “he will be a protection to me and
my child against Peacock; he will assist me
in finding and caring for my poor parents.

resolved to go on if it took ail night. She
traveled as fast as she could and did not stop

lifted her down lightly, fastened the horse:
and returned to the house.
The snoring still went on. He rapped
loudly once, twice. Her gruff voice called
out:
“Who in thunder is thar making that
noise?”
Redwine ask ea permission to’come in.
“And whaten in the thundereu air you
you coming here this time o’night for? Ye
git back where ye come from! ’
“But, granny, I have a lady here who
wants to rest.”
“Let her sot on the ground, fur it’s not so
very cold.”
“Well, granny, I’ll knock your door down
if you don’t open it.”
' “I shan’t open my house this time o’ night.
Ike says I shan’t and I shan’t!”
Redwine repeated: “Open it now or I will
burst it open. ”
He was confident big, burly Ike, the worst
ruffian in the gang was not there and anoth
er blow at the door would open it.
The hag called, “Will you hurt me if I let
you in my house?”
“No; of course not, Why should I hurt
you, granny?”
Then an immense bolt was drawn and a
prop taken from the door, and they were ad
mitted.
“Sure enough, youens has got a gal with
you.”
“Well, here, you must now make us a
toddy.”
While the hag was making it and sipping
it, Redwine lighted his lantern that reflected
a light through the filthy place. The hag
lighted a pine torch that threw its bright
glare everywhere, and poor Mary, with her
heart in her throat hastened to a pile of fil
th}' straw in the corner. She came first to
a child five or six years old. She took the
dirty rag covering from off the smallest
child, and scarcely looked at its face but took
hold of its feet.
