A passionate longing tilled me to serve this fragile, feminine thing, to protect her from the dangers of her wanderinTf life, and -the calleua cruelty ami greed; of her unworthy father. Hut how could a man of my age Interfere In the affairs of a lovely waif and stray many years! his Junior! I could do nothing.

She was lingering In the churchyard, but when t stretched out my hand h at once flipped hers into It, a very MM nil. iei.1 thin hand, the skin ra.thr rough from constant exposure, but a dear little hand for all that. I clasped my fingers o\er It. itnd led her Into the highroad, between fields of barley, that led to the Inn. As we turned "a corner, walking thus hand In hand, and talking like old friends, ii long, dark shadow fell across our path. l.lllth trembled and hung back, half hiding herself behind me. "At last I've found you!" a thick voice exclaimed, as the shambling figure of a tall, broadly build man In shabby, wea- ther-stained clothes, blue-eyed, gray- bearded, and clearly the worse for drink, lurched into full view In the moonlight. I did not need I-lllth's frightened Avhls- per. for 1 had already divined that this red-faced, stumbling, angry personage who advanced to meet us. multeriiip strange oaths and brandishing 11 heavy oaken Mick, was her father, Horatio Saloti. CHAPTER vr. In Horatio Saxon's manner, accentuat- ed by his half-Inebriated condition, wa* a very evident trace of the footlights, a melodramatic over-emphasis, which, as 1 afterwiird learned, had grown to char- acterise the man's tones and gestures In e . i i \ situation in life. At the same time It was clear that he wan extremely angry, and the sudden snatch he made at his daughter's arm would lia\c hurt her had I not Interpos- ed to ward off his rough grasp. Then he turned upon me In genuine fury, but still tinged with theatrical ex- aKKer-'tlon. "And who are you, pray, that you should Interfere between father and child? Home London cad. fresh from bis shop, corning here In his best clothes '< and palming; himself off as a gentleman! How dare you spe?ik to that .vuung lti.lv i-io you know that 1 am her father?

L^:a\e that felh.w ;<t unce anil come to- inn as bid you." He lurched and swayed Ir. his walk, so that every moment t feared lest he might overbalance and fall over the heap of loose stones boruVrii.i: the road- way, whtch wa In course of being tnnd- ed. The spot was absolutely deserred but for our three selves, and In the vivid moonlight the Intense stillness seemed ghostly and unnatural. l.lllth waa close. behind ine. and I feit her tremble as Saxon made another Itlngo in lier direction with his heavy oaken stick. Perhaps It would have been better had .the- gone to him quietly t once, for Iter hesitation seemed to work him into a fury. - Roughly thrusting me on one side. !. gripped her shoulder, ajid. dragging the child toward him, shook J^er violently from side to side. A low cry of pain ;iiid Tear hroko from her lips, follower! hy the thud of a heavy blow from his clenched flat upon her shoulder. At the sound I lost all self-i-ontrel. and. hurling myself upon the brute. I compelled him to bioso his hold on her. .HnMilng with terror, Ullth ran on a r w steps ahead, and old Saxon turned to vent hte fnry upon me. With a volley of oiths he sprang In- ward me, brandishing his stick above his head. I was young and active and eas- ily dodged the heavy blow he directed at my skull. Missing me, he lost his lia'.-i nee. lurched forward, staggered. :itnl iriT't'lng against the stones by the way- side fell heavily, face downward on the ground. For a few seconds I waited for him to rise, and renew the attack; but, finding that he did not move, I went to his as- sistance, and with some difficulty raised him from the ground. Blood was flowing freely from a gaping wound In the tem- sharu Hi lit Hi* eyes were open, and his distorted, pur pi* face still wore the look of rage I had lam seen there. But he offered no resistance to my touch, and lay like a log in my arms as I knelt by his tide.
