One* day fcftvT dinner Will took a stroll among the firs; a grave beatitude possessed him from top to too, nnd ho kept smiling Vd himaclf and the lnnscape ns hA Tho ; river ran between tho sapping stones with n pretty wimple* a bird sang loudly in tho j wood; tho hilltops looked immeasurably high, and ns ho glanced at them from time to ; time, seemed to contemplate his movements ! with a beneficent but awful curiosity. His way took him to the eminence which over ly .tod tho plain; and thoro ho sat down upOH a stone, and foil into deep nnd pleasant thought. The plain lay abroad with it* cities and silver rivor; everything was asleep, except a great eddy of birds which kept rising and falling nnd going round and round in the blue air. He repeated Marjory’s , name aloud, and the sound of it gratified his ear. He shut his eyre, and her image sprang ap lxdora him, quietly luminous and attend ed with good thoughts. Tho river might rub for over; tho birds fly higher and higher till they touched tho stars. Ho saw it was empty hustle after all; for hero, without stirring a foot, waiting patiently in his own narrow valley, he also had attained the bettor sun j light. i The next day Will made a sort of doclara ! tion across the dinner tablo, while the parson j was tilling his pipe. “Miss Marjory,” he said, “I never knew any one l liked so well as you. lam mostly j a cold, unkindly sort of man, not from want j j of heart, but out of strangeness in my way of thinking; and people seem far away front J mo. Tis ils if there were n circle round me, j which kept evory one out but. you. I can hear the others talking nnd laughing, but you come quite close. Maybe this is didß- ■ greeablo to you ?” b«9 asked. Marjory made no aiiswer. “Sjieak up. girl,” said tho parson. “Nay, now,” returned Will, "I wouldn’t . press her, parsoip I feel tongue tied myself, , who am not used to it, and she’s a woman. ! and little more than a child, when all is said. j But for my part, as far ns I can understand what j)0oplc mean by it, I fancy I must what they call in love. Ido not wish to Ik- | ! held as committing myself* for l may Ik* i wrong, but that is how I believo things are j with me. And if* Miss Marjory should feel i I any otherwise on her part, mayhap she would j Ik* so kind as shake her head.” Majory was silent, and gave no sign that she had heard. “llow is that, parson?” asked Will. “The girl must speak,” replied the parson, laying clown his pipe. “Hero's our neighl>or who says ho loves you, Madge, Do you love him, ay or no?” “I think I do,” said Marjory, faintly. “Well, then, that’s all that could I** wished!” cried Will, heartily. And ho took her hand across tho tablo and held it t\ moment in both of his with great satisfaction. “You must marry,” observed tho parson, replacing his pijxj in his mouth. “Is that the right thing to do, think you?” lomanded Will. “It is indispensable,” said the parson. “Very well,” replied fho wooer. Two or three days passed away with great j delight to Will, although a bystander might scarce have found it out. He continued to take his meals opposite Marjory, and to talk with her nnd gaze uj>on her in her father's presence; but lie made no attempt to see her i alone, nor in any other Way changed his con | duct towards her from what it had been since the beginning. Perhaps the ’girl was a little disappointed, nnd perhaps not unjustly, and yet if it had lx*en enough to l>o always in the thoughts of another jierson, and so per vade and alter his whole life, she might hnvo been thoroughly contented. For she was never out of Will’s mind for an instant. Ho sat over tho stream* nnd watched the dust of the eddy, and the poised fish and straining weeds; he wandered out alone into the purple oven, with all tho blackbirds piping round him in tho wood; ho rose early in the morn ing, and saw tho sky turn fromjgray to gold, nnd the light leap upon the hilltops; nnd all tho while ho kept wondering if ho had novof soon such things before, of how it was that they should look so different now. Tho sound of his own mill wheel, or of the wind among tho trees, confounded and charmed his heart* The most enchanting thoughts presented themselves unbidden in his mind. He was so happy that he could not sleep at night, and so restless that he could hardly sit still out of her company. And yet it seemed ; ils if he avoided her rather than sought her out. One day, as ho was coming home from a ramble, Will found Marjory in the garden picking flowers, and as he came up with her, slackened his pace and continued walking by her side. “You like flowersf’ he said “Indeed I love them dearly," she replied. “Do your l “Why, no,” Baid ho, “wot ho much. They are a very small affair, when all is done. I can fancy people caring for them greatly, bnt not doing ns you are just now." “How?’ she asked, pausing and looking up at him. “Plucking them,” said he. “They are a deal better «»ff where they are, and look a deal prettier, if you go to that.” “I wish to have them for my own,” she answered, “to carry them near my heart, and keep them in my room. They tempt me when they grow here; they seem to sav, ‘Come and do something with us;’ but once I have cut them and put thorn by, the charm is. i laid, and l can look at them with quite an ' easy heart.” “You wish to possess them,” replied Will, ! “in order to think no more about them. It’s a bit like killing the goose with tho golden eggs. It’s a bit like what I wished to do when I was a boy. Because I had n fancy j for looking out over the plain I wished to go down there, where I couldn’t look out over it any' longer. Was not that fine reasoning i Dear, dear, if they only thought of it, all the world would do like me, and you would let ! your flowers alone, just as I stay np here in the mountains.” Suddenly he broke off sharp. “By the Lord!” he cried. And when she asked him what was wrong he turned the question off and walked away into the house with rather a humorous expression of face, i He was silent at table, and after the night | had fallen and the stars had come out over j head he walked up and down for hours in j the courtyard and garden with an uneven pace. There was still a light in the window | of Marjory's room—one little oblong patch of orange in a world of dark blue hills and sil ver starlight. Will’s mind ran a great (leal on tho window, but *ris thoughts were not very lover like. “There she is in her room,” he thought, “and there were the stars over head—a blessing upon both!” Both were good influences in his life; lx>th soothed and braced him in his profound contentment with tho world. And what more should he desire with either? The fat young man and hi* councils were so present to his mind that ho throw back his head, and, putting his hands before his mouth, shouted aloud to the popu lous heavens. Whether from the position of his head or tho sudden strain of his exertion, : ho seemed to see a momentary shock among \ the stars, and a diffusion of frosty light pass from one to another along the sky. At the ; same instant a corner of tho blind was lifted j up and lowered again at once. He laughed uloudho-ho! “One and another!” thought; Will. “Tho stars tremble and the blind goes up. Why, before Heaven, what a great ma gician I must lie! Now, if I wore only a fool, should not I bo in a pretty way?” And ho i went off to bed, chuckling to himself: “If I : were only a fool!” The next morning, pretty early, he saw her once more in the garden, and sought her out. j “I have been thinking about getting mar | ried,” he began abruptly; “and after having turned it all over, I have made up ray mind it’s not'worth while." She turned upon him for a single moment; but his radiant, kindly appearance would, imder the circumstances, have disconcerted an angel, and she looked down again upon the ground in silence. He could see her tremble. “I hope you don't mind,” he went on, a lit ; tie taken aback. “You ought not, I.have turned it all over, and upon my soul there's nothing in it. We should never t* one whit nearer than we are just now, r.nd if [ «\hi ii wise man, nothing like so happy.” “It is Unnecessary to go round about with me,” she said. “Ivory well remember that : you refused to commit yourself; and now that j I see you were mistaken, ami in reality never i cared for me, I can only feel sad that I liavo | been so far misled.” j “I nsk your pardon,” said Will stoutly; i “you do not understand my meaning. . As Iri | whether I have over loved ynii or no! . 1 must ! leave that toothers But foh bn'.' mV feeding is not Fhiihgikl', ftfid for another, you | may make it your boast that you have made*' i my whole life and character something dif j ferent from what they were. I mean what l say; no Jess. I d<> not think getting marri<\l lis worth while. I would rather you went on j living with your father, so that I could walk j over nnd see you once, or maybe twice a weok, as peoplo go to church; and then wo • ' should both l*‘ nil the lumpier. between i whiles. That’a mv notion Bill, lii marry . you if you will,” ho added. “Do you know that you arc insulting met” . | she broke out. i “Not I, Marjory,” said he; “if there is any- i ' thing in a clear conscience, not I. I offer all j my heart’s best affections; you can take it nr j I want it, though 1 suspect it’s J>eyond cither | i your powfcr or mine to change what has once i been done, and set me fancy free. I'll marry you, if you like; but I tell you again nnd | again, it’s not worth while, and wo bad best i stay friends-, Though I am a quiet man, l ! have noticed rt heap of things in my life. | Trust in mo, and take things as I propose; or, if you don’t like that, say the word, and I’ll ; marry you out of hand.” ! Thoro was a considerable pause, and Will, | who began to feel uneasy, began to grow ! angry in consequence. “It seems you are too proud to say your ! I mind,” he said. “Believe me, that’s a pity. ! : A clean shrift makes simple living. Can a j | man Ik.* more downright or honorable to a ! . woman than I have been? t ha Vo said in* say, aivd given you your choice. Do you 1 want me to marry you? or will you take my j friendship, ns I think best? or have you had j | enough of me for good? Sj>eak out for the i i dear God’s sake! You know your father told | you a girl should speak her miml in these i She seemed to recover berHf at. that, | turned without a word, walked rapidly ; ; through Ihe garden and disappeared into the j house; leaving \\ ill in sonic cdnfUsiou as tri ! ; the result. Ho walked tip rtn<l down the garden, whist ling softly to himself. Some- : times lie stopped and contemplated the sky and hilltops; sometimes he went down to tho : tail of tho weir and sat there, looking foolishly in the water. All this dubiety and perturba tion was so foreign to his nature and the life ; which he had resolutely ohosen for himself I that ho began to regret Marjory’s arrival, j “After all,” he thought, “1 was as happy as n man need be. I could come down here nnd watch raj fishes all day long if I wanted; I was as settled and contented as my old mill.” Marjory carno down to dinner looking vary ■. trim and quiet; and no sooner were all three j at. tablo than she made her father a speech, J with her eyes tixisi upon her plate, but showing no other sign of embarrassment or distre.o. “Father,” she began, “Mr. Will nnd I have j been talking things over, We free that wit j have each made n mistake about our feelings, ! nnd In lias agreed, at my roquost, to give up j n'.l idea of marriage, nnd Ik* no more than my j very good friend, as in the past. You see 1 there in no Shadow of a quarrel, nnd indeed l hope we shall six* a great deni of him in the j future, for hi:; visits will always be welcome : 1 in our house. Os course, father, you will j i know b-,t. but perhaps wo should do better j to leave Mr. Will's house for the present. I j i , loliovo, after what has passed, we should | ; hardly bo agreeable inmates for some days.” j Will, who had commanded himself with , i difficulty from tho first, broke out upon this ! , J into r.n inarticulate noise, and raised ono i j hand with an nppoarnnee of real dismay, as j , j if ho were about to interfere nnd Contradict. , i ! But she chocked him at <«ioe, looking up at ' 1 him with a swift glance and an angry flush ! i ! upon her check. i “You will perhaps have the good grace,” | 1 j she said, “to let me explain these matters for 1 | myself.” < j Will was put entirely out of countenance ; ! by her expression and the ring of her voice, j ; J Ho held his peace, concluding that there wore ; ; : iomo things about this girl beyond his coni- j prehension, in which he was exactly right. j 1 ■ The poor parson was quite crestfallen. He 1 triod to prove that this was no more than a ! | true lovers’ tiIT, which would pass off before | 1 night; nnd when lie was dislodged from that | position, he went on to argue that where | : there was no quarrel there could bo no call j for n separation; for the good man liked i both his entertainment nnd his host. It was ; curious to see how the girl managed them, ! Baying little all the time, and that, very quietly, and yet twisting them round her i fingor nnd insensibly leading them wherever slit) would by feminine* tact nnd generalship. ! It. scarcely seemed to have been her doing — j It seemed a" if things had merely so fallen I ! out —that she and her father took their de- j i pnrtun* that same afternoon in a form ! I cart, and went farther down the valley, j to wait, i:r‘; 1 thoir own house was ready for i them, i:i another hamlet. But Will had j lieon observing closely, and was well aware ! of lwr daxteritv and resolution. When ho j found himself alone lie had a great many 1 mrious matters to turn over in his mind. He j /Was very sad and solitary,to begin with. All I \tho interest had gone out of his life, and he j : might, look up at the stars ns long ns ho | ! pler.sed, he somehow failed to find support or ; con relation. And then he was in such a tur- j moil of spirit about Marjory. He had been 1 puzzled and irritated at her behavior, and : ; yet. he could not keep himself from admiring | it. He thought lie recognized a fine, perverse j angel in that .-till :*ml which he had never i hitherto susjM'et *<!. ami though he saw it was i an influence that would fit but ill with his ! own life of artificial calm, he could not keep | hiiruolf from ardently desiring to possess it. j Like a man who has lived among shadows and now meet.? the sun, he was both pained and ; delight'd. j As the days went forward ho passed from ! ! one cxtiviw to another; now pluming him- i self on the strength of his determination, j now despising his timid and silly caution, j The former v. as, perhaps, the true thought ; of his heart, and represented the regular tenor of the man’s reflect inns; hut the latter burst forth fro i time to time with an unruly j violence, and then he. would forget all con- | Bid* rat ion and g*> up and down his house and ; garden or walk among the fir woods like one who G beside himself with remorse. To equable, steady minded Will" this state of matters was intolerable; and he determined, at whatever cost, to bring it to an end. So on l ' warm sunmior afternoon he put on his l>cst clothos, took a thorn switch in his hand and set out down tho valley by the river. As : goon as ho had taken his determination he had regained at a. hound his customary peace of heart, and ho enjoyed the bright weather and the variety of tho scone without any admixture of alarm or unpleasant engerner-s. It was nearly the same to him how tho matter turned out. If * lie accepted him he would liavo to marry her this time, which perhaps was r.;l for tho best.. If she refused him he would have done his utmost, and might fol low hi* own way in the future with an im ; troubled conscience. lie hop'd, on the whole, riio would refuse him; and then, »•; un, as ho saw the brown roof which sheltered her, pooping through some willows at an angle of the stream, he was half inclined to reverse th * wisli and mere than iir.lf ashamed of him 1 self for this infirmity of purpose. 1 Marjory nicd giad t«»seo him and gavo him her lumd withonfolf* ctation or delay. “I have iveen thinkingaiK>ut this marriago,” he l : ;an. have I.” she answered. “And I rosi<*ct j'oii more and m< »re for a v <*ry wise man. You “You .1:1 - lx ti*. ii,’ Ii • jittemipted. win.. The al‘; . >i w > .rm, and I wish you not to he displeased with your visit. You must come quite often; once a week if ran spare tho time; 1 am always so glad to r my friends.” “O, very well,” thought Will to himrolf. “It appears I was right after all.” And he paid a very agreeable visit, walked home again in capital spirits and gave himself no further concern about the matter. 1 For nearly three years Will and Marjory continued on these tet mffi seeing each other htice or twice a week Without any word of tore bctwV*cii thmn: and for nil that tin* t libiidVfl V»*iii v.as nearly hs liappV a.‘> a i. aii can he. He rather stinted himself the pLas urc of seeing her; and he would often walk half way over to the parsonage, and ' ’ :i l -.i-V. again, ns if to whet his appetite. In l lucre was one corner of the r r ad, v’..c::' eho could,see the church rpiro wcr’.ycd in! *a crevice of the valley between sloping firwocxls, with a triangular snatch of j lain bj* war of background, which ho greatly afiVotod n:i n jdsre to sit nnd morahrej.) hte for- returr.ing honuward; nnd the peasants jg.:t:o muc h into the habit of finding him ! t’.icre i:i tb.c twilight that they gave i: tho S name of “Will o’ the Mill’s corner.” | At ti e end of the three years Marjory , playdl h:::i a sad trick by suddenly marring S somebody else. Will k* pt his count• •.. nee : bravely, nnd merely remarked that, for as litth* he knew of women, he had act* d . cry prudently i:i not marrying her him • If U.rca j years before*. Bho plainly );nc*W very l.tthi . of her own mind, anil, i.tl spite bt a dccc;iv • | manner, was ns fickle nnd flighty ns the rest of them. lie had to congratulate himse!!’on ; a:; escape, he said, and would take a hi .her opinion of his own wisdom in conscqnwicc. ! But at. heart, ho was reasonably disple ,ed. ! moj>ed n good deal for a month or two, uud foil away in flesh, to tho astonishment of lii.i | I serving lads. ! It was perhaps a year after this mnwi.iga j ‘ that AVi 11 was awakened late one night by j ! the sound of a horse gallopmg on the r *cd. . | followed by precipitate knocking at t!’" inn door. He oj>eited his Wiiicirhv and say a t irnt I servant, mounted nnd holding a led iiof by tho bridle, who told-him to make wire ; • t< • j ho could and go along with him; for Me: | was dying, and had sent urgently to ; ’••ii ! him to her bedside. Will was no horseman, i and made so little speed upon the way that | the* poor young wife was very near lu r end , before ho arrived. Blit they had ' -me ! minutes’talk in private, and he was p:v--nt | rind wejjt Very bitterly while shehreatln*>l her DEATH. Year after year went away into nothing, | with great explosions and outcries in the J cities o:i tho plain; red revolt springing up j ; and being suppressed in blood; battle sway i ing hithet’and thither; patient nstl'ono. iers | j in observatory towers picking out nnd * ;:ris j toning now stars; plays being perform- l in lighted theatres; |)Cople being carried into hospitals on stretchers, and all the usual t.ur j inoil and agitation of men’s lives in c:rovd*'d , j centers. Up in Will’s valley only tho winds j and seasons made an epoch; the fish hur.g in j the swift stream; the birds circled overhead: | the pine tops rustled underneath the s'.-.rs; the tall hills stood over all; and Will vrr t to i and fro, minding his wayside inn, until ih ! snow began to thicken on liis head. Hi* : heart Was ybiing ami vigorous, and if his i pulse's kept a sober time they still beat strong | and steady in his wrists. 110 carried arr ldv ( ! stain on either cheek, like a ripe npph-; he ( stooped a little, but Iris step was still (inn, ; ! and his sinewy hands were reached out to nil | men with a friendly pressure. Ilis face was ■ covered with those wrinkles which are got in ! open air. and which, rightly looked at, arc | no more than a sort of permanent sunbum , ing; such wrinkles heighten the stupidity of stupid faces, hilt to a person like Will, with his clear eyes and smiling mouth, only give j another charm by testifying to a simple and easy life. His talk was full of wise &ny i ings. He had a taste for other people, and other ]>eoplo had a taste for him. When tho ; valh'}’ was full of tourists in the season, there 1 were merry nights in Will’s arbor; and his 1 views, which seemed whimsical to his ru igh ! hors, were often admired by learned people j out of town and colleges. Indeed, lie had a i very noble old age, ami grew daily better 1 known: so that his fame was hoard of in tho i cities of. tho plain; and young men. who lmd i been summer travelers spoke together in ! cases of Will o’ the Mill and his rough phi losophy. Many and many an invitation, you may bo sure, he had, but nothing com j tempt him from his upland valley. He would shake his head and smile over his tobacco pipe with a deal of meaning. “You '-orm* too late,” he would answer. “I am a o v.d man now; I have lived and died already Fifty years ago you would have brought my heart into my mouth; nnd now you do not oven tempt me. But that is the object of long living, that man should cease te about life.” And again: “There is only -me difference between a long life nnd a gO(*fl dinner: that, in the dinner, tho sweets come last.” Or once more: “Whon I was a I'*) I was a l*ifc puzzled, nnd hardly know whether it was myself or the world that was curio-is nnd worth looking into. Nov.', I know It myself, and stick to that.” lie never show«*d any symptoms of frailty, ■ but kept stalwart' and firm to the lac!; out I they say he grew less tnlkativo toward the j I end, ami would listen to other peoplo 1 y th*- ; hour in an amused and sympathetic siloacK j ! Only, when ho did speak it was moro to th-.- j i point, and more charged with old expori ! I Ho drank a bottle of wine gladly; above all j I at sunset on tho hilltop or quite late at i .‘glu j under the stars in tho arbor. The sight ci j i something attractive and unattainable e*i j ! soiled his enjoyment, he would say; and he ; 1 professed lie had lived long enough to admire j ; a candle all the more when lio could compart* j I it with a planet. j Ono night, in his 72d year, lie awoke te. bed j in such uneasiness of body and mind thru he j i arose and dress, vlhimsolf and went . io j j meditate in the cliur. It was pitch <1 j | without a stfir; tlu' river was swollen, and I j the wot- woods and meadows load'd !h rrr j i with perfume. I‘. had thundered durin.- iht- j j flay, and it promised more thunder for j ! the morrow. A murky, stilling r'dii. I I for a man of 7:i. Whether ir ya- j | the weather or tho wake!unless, «i! i | some little touch of fever in 1 : 'i l 1. rib-, j ' Will’s mind was besieged by tumultuov .u i j ! crying memories. Ilis boyhood, the ; J r • i with the fat young man, the death of hi- j | adopted parents, tho summer clays with Mar- , jory, and many of those small cireumst j which seem nothing to another, and ar y < , j the very gist of a man’s ov n life to him df i j things seen, words heard, looks miscons .a’.od ’ —arose from their forgotten corners ;ir usurpefl his attention. The deed them !vo were with him, not merely taking p. : t u this thin show of memory that defiled b his brain, but revisiting his bodily sen: -j as they do in profound and vivid dreams. TL fat young man leaned Iris elbows on th-*! ;bk opposite; Marjory came and went wi*.‘. an apronful of flowers between the garden • . v: the arbor; he could hear the old j. i:. knocking out his pipe or blowinghij i o.:< . .-:t nose. The tide of his consciousness ebbed and flowed; ho was sometimes hall asleep;*nd drowned iu his recollections of tho p and sometimes he was broad awake wo:i ing at himself. But about ike i;i' . of the night ho was startled Ly !!'.; voice of tho dead miller calling to hi: i <• : - <■: the house as he used to do onthoamv.il c! custom. The hallucination was so pc- . 'Ct that Will sj)rang from his scat aii'l . ‘ •od listening for the summons to Ik- repeat. : a 1 as he listened ho became conscious of tu: , | noise besides tho brawling of the river i I the ringing in his feverish cars. It wa . ’ tho stir of the horses and the croaki ..got j harness, as though a carriage with a : lb ; patient team had been brought up up *:, th • road before the courtyard gate. At r.: hour, upon this rough and dangerous i s. i the sujqKJsition was no better than ;d 1. 1 and Will dismissed it from his mind, <• 1 * : gumed his boat upon the arbor chair: ; r.d ; sleep closed c»vcr him agai)i like ru: ! water. He was once again awr.k.r.ed 1 ’*•' . | dead miller's call, thinner and more si *-i i than before; and once again he heal'd | i noise of an equipage upon the road. Ar !• * i thrice and four times, the same dream, or the same fancyj presented itself to his senses; until nt length, smiling to himself ns when ono humors a nervous child, he proceeded towards the gate to set his uncertainty at rest. From the arbor to the gate was no great distance, and yet it took Will some time; it seemed as if the dead thickened around him in the court, and crossed liis path at every Step. For. first, he was suddenly surprised by an overpowering sweetness of heliotropes; it was as if his garden had been planted with this flower from end to ends and the hot. clamp night had drawn forth all their per fumes in a breath, Now the heliotrope had beer Marjory's favorite flower, and since her death net one of them had ever been plant? 1 in Will's ground. “I must be going crazy,” h>* thought. “Poor | Marjory and her heliotropes!” And with that 1:-- r.:i < l his eyes bwvar the window ihaf h;* 1 once been h* « . F had Ik—n bewildered before, he v • row most terrified; for there wa a boh! :u 1 ■■ room; the window was an orange obi. of yore, and the comer of th* Idual v.\> I l; ■ 1 . ;uyj l"t fall nr. on the night wlr u !: • ' 'od and ; shouted to the stars in hi - pap!* :/ y. Tin 1 illusion only endured an i -‘ nil, b,g it him somewhat unmanned, rubbing his ege ; | and staring at tie- outline of tie* h m : the black night behind it. While he t lm = stood, and it seemed as ii ho must have stood | tlvre quite a long time, there camm-i n new:-. , of the noises on the road; and ho turn'd i:i ! time to meet a stranger, who was advancing ! to meet him across the court, 'llicre ve-. j something like tlio outline of a great carriage diseeruibio on the road behind the stranger, and. above that, a few black pino tops, lib so many plumes. “Mater Will?” asked the new comer, in brief military fashion. “That same, sir,” r.nswc red V> ill. “Can I j do anything to servo y« .r./' “I have heard you much spoken of. Master j Will." returned tho ot her, u h : oken of •arid Well. And though i have both hard full of business I wish to drink a bottle, of shall introduce myself/’ Will led the way to tho trellis and got a lamp lighted and a bottle uncork.-d. He was not altogether urr.w d t<> snail cor.ig! from this ono, being school d 1.-y m.auyd:.; i appointments. A sort of cion 1 had settled on his wits and prevented b.ir.i * r *t i rem- m ’*.••l 1., i .• . d 1 El moved like a per. ci in bis . 1 *p, ar.d it seemed a:* if the lamp caught fire amt il o bottle came uncorked with tho facility ol thought. Still, ho had some curiosity about | the appearance of Lis visitor and tried in vain to turn the light into his face; either !.»-» bundled the lamp clumsily or there was a | dililiioss bVfctf his eye-, but ho could make out little more than a sliadov.- at table with him. He stared and stared at this shadow as he wiped out the glasses and began to feel j cold and strange about the heart. The si lenco weighed upon him, for he could hear nothing now, not even the river, but tae S drumming of his own arteries in his ears. ; “Here's to you,” said tho stranger, roughly. | “Here is my service, sir," replied Will ! sipping his wine, which somehow tus Led •‘J liitderstand yon are a very posit i\o follow/' pursued the stranger.

One of the servants awoke about this time and heard the noise of horses pawing 1. I h<* dropped asleep again; all down the valley that night there was a rushing as of a smooth and steady wind descending towards lh:» plain; and when the world rose next morn ing, sure enough Will o’ tho Mill had gone at Vest upon his travels.
