CHAPTER XX. The night-boat from Calais bore the runa- way Peggy to England. She scarcely dared believe in her own good luck in escaping without pursuit, even when the gangwav had been withdrawn, and the boat was steaming slowly past the old wooden pier. She peeped out cautiously from under the shelter of one of the lifeboats, with a fare- well fear than some emissary of her father’s, say the birdlike Miss M’Leod or the panting Henri, might dash along the quay atthe last minute, and, by frantic cries and gesticula- tions, induce the captain to put back. But no such catastrophe happened ; the fact was that Miss M’Leod had not taken fright at Peggy‘s long absence until late in the day, and then had not dared to report it: to Mr. Beresford, who had shut himself up in the most formidable humors since Madame de Lancry's visit. n , _:IJ_-L Ln1~Lt “nu... - . .â€" Peggy‘s spirits rose to the wildest height when she felt that she was safe, out of reach of her father, whom she feared, and cf Vic- to:, whom she hated. She had been scarce- ly three weeks at “ Les Bouleaux," but the horror and the mystery of the events which had happened there during that short time had made her stay a hi eous nightmare, with only one sympathic figureâ€"Gerald. Gerald, whom she respected and liked ; not with a sentimental feeling, 0 dear, no, but with a very strong impression that, he had not been well used, with a. most firm deter- mination to put him on his guard against the wiles of Madame de Luncry. No coy- ness troubled Peggy; the love of Gerald, which she had confessed in her excitement, seemed such a natural feeling for any one who had been so kind to her, that she felt no scruples about following him to Eng- land ; there she would find him out, prevail upon him to have nothing more to do with his French friends, and then devote her at- tention to finding some work by which she could earn her living. What this work mightbe she did not care ; in the exuberance of her happiness at having escaped from pa- ternal control, she would have swept a. crossing. . .. ..~x This free, devil-may-care, bold buccaneer- Eng spirit lasted until about mid-channel, when it; was quenched by sea-sickness, which placed Peggy at the mercy of a. kind~hearted sailor, from whom she parted almost with tears on landing at Dovgn‘. _ $he_stil_l fell; ill w..... .... . _-__° __ , , and giddy, but Peggy hai the luck of the brave ; and the guard of the London train seeing her staggering along in a helpless fashion by the side at the rails on the pier, asked if her luggage was all right, and on her answering that she hadn’t any, found a. corner seat for her in the train, lifted her into the carriage, and pulled up the win- dows. Her ulster was not very thick, and the night was cold ; her travelling compan- uuv luau. "ww --_, ions were two noisy and tiresome French people, who tried to forget the evils ot the sea~passage by continuous eating and drink- ing. Peggy had an uncomfortable journey up to London, and arrived worn out, chill- ed, and miserable, at the house where she meant to stay. It wasa house at the West End, in a street well known for furnished apartments neither particularly large nor particularly good, but which had, somehow, got the re- putation of being "superior," and were much affected by fashionable actresses and by men about town. This classâ€"or these classesâ€"occupied the best rooms (or the most part, while the top floor of many of the houses formed a. kind of rookeryâ€"still “superior,” of courseâ€"where curates and shop-girls, daily governesses, retired oflicers and city cleks, inhabited each a humble little room, With the satisfaction of being able to write from “a good address.” In the house at the door of which Peggy now knocked she and her mother had passed many a dreary month of cheap discomfort, and it was with a very perfunctory smile that she returned the greeting of the sleepy servant, grimy even at that early hour, who opened the door to er. “ Yes, Ellen, I’ve come back,” she said, choking back the tears. “ Has Mrs. “’51- ton got a. room for me '2” “ Yes, miss. The Major went ofl'yester- day ; ’e and 'e couldn’t stand Mr. Yorke’s boots in the next room no longer, miss. So there's ’is room you can ’ave. miss.” Peggy followed her upstairs to the third floor, and wondered, as she threw herself on the hard bed, and looked stupidly round her at the cupboard-like bareness and drenriness of the little room, how “ the Major” could have “ stood it" for so long. She felt too tired to sleep, too ill to eat the stale egg and bit of black toast; which Ellen presently brought her on a. cracked plate dedicated to the use of she third floor. She drank a. cup of tea, however, and felt grate- tul for the girl’s attention. u 11,,L The day rimmed miserably ; she could not rest except for a few minutes at a. time ; she felt too stupid and excited to lie still and think, and whenever she attempted to get up, the room swam round her and her hand throbbed violently. It was not until the afternoon was drawing to a close that, with tottering limbs, she made her way down- stairs. and into the little back room, which was Mrs. Walton's own sitting-room, and of which certain of the more favored inmntes of the rookery land the entree. Peggy peeped in ; no one was there. She entered, went straight up to the cage of the canary, gave him an affectionate “tweet- tweet” to let him know she had not for- gotten him, and then seated herself on the‘ gaudy hearthrug, dragging the huge tabby catâ€"another old friend â€"-on to her knees, and squeezing him more than was kind, for friendship and sympathy, A nightjonrney, followed by a day‘s headache, might play havoc with a lion's courage ; and Peggy be. gan to feel, as the tears trickled one by one down her face and exasperated the patient cat, that she had left “Les Bouleaux” on a wild goose chase. and that even a home overshadowed by a mystery Was better than no home at all. uv uvmv .-. .â€" “Aud I shall never, never be able to find Gerald in this great London 1” she walled, as she threw herself, cat: and all, full-length on the flagrant hearthrug, with her head in a leather-covered arm- chair, the pring of which had gotout of order and made uncomfortable mountains and valleys in the seat. “ And even if I knew where he was, I shouldn’t dare to go and see him. Perhaps he would not care to see “me 3"": A GREAT SECRE i, l!) "igliirgs'sion thdt he' had with a. most firm deter- n on big guarduagainst SHALL IT BE DONE. 0R, This Was quite a. new and horrible thought, born of the humility of loneliness and misery. It brought a. blush to her wan face, and suddenly stopped her tears as if with a. burning iron. She raised herself on her elbow and stared fiercely into the fire, while the cat seized the opportunity to es- cape Unyo. The next moment the door opene l, and Peggy heard some one come into the room. She did not look round. for she was asham- ed of her tearvstaiued face ; she kept quite still, hoping that the intruder might go out again Without having noticed her. But she was disappointed. The arm chair from which she had just raised her head creaked on its casters ; a. hand on tne back was mov- ing it, as if to attract her attention. Still she would not move, being seized by an im~ pulse of rage at the impertinence of this somebody, who, seeing her distress, was anxious to get abetter view of her in her misery. The enemy, however, was quite as strong of will as she, and she suddenly felt the armchair pushed forward so that it jerk- ed her arm. wShe tun-{ed her head, as if by a. spring, and began, crimson and furious, “ \Vill you have the kindnessâ€"” But then she stopped short, and sprang upon her feet with a. cry. Leaning upon the hack of the armchair, smiling, red-faced, shv. his features quivering with some strong emotion, his eyes fixed upon her with a. light in them which caused the blood to rush to the girl's face, was Gerald. Upon her first impulse, Peggy threw herself upon one knee in the armchair, with her hands over the back, in an irrepressible burst of wild delight. She had scarcely done so when Gerald imprisoned her where she was, flinging his right arm round her. and reis ing with his left the little wildflower face to his, kissing her lips passionately, trying to speak to her, failing altogether in utter- ing a. single coherent sentence, but betray- ing his love, in this moment of abandon- ment, as he had never betrayed it before. menu, as uc um. um». ~v-..._,v .- v"-.- ( ‘Gerald 1” she half shrieked, half sobbed; and she threw her arms round his neck, not like a woman Who has found ner lover, but like a lost‘ child found by its nurse. But his kisses, his passionate Whispers, after reassuring, began to puzzle her, she drew back her head, pushed his face away from hers, and tried to Wriggfe out of his em- brace. “Don‘t go away, darling. Aren’t you glgqpo see lug T” 1- 7,"; L_ LA"- to you.” As the grasp of his arm loosened, she es- caped like an elf, and, seating herself in the armchair, imperiously signed to him to place himself at her feet. Gerald got a iootstool and very meekly obeyed, hugging his knees and look- ing up at her with intoxicated reverence. For she at once assumed the attitude of the superior very decidedly, though the color brought by his kisses had not faded from her lace, and though her voice was still rather unsteady from excitement. “if yau have been behaving in a very extraordinary manner,” she began sev- erely. ‘ a low hu_sky micâ€"e. "Gé'mld blinked at her humbly, and then looked into the fire and cleared his throat in modest confusion. " Glad to see me l” she echoed sharply ; “ that’s not what I mean at all.

He glanced up at her, and, surprising a. leak of the frankest fond- ness on her face, his right hand sneaked up to hers and squeezed the little fingers. She withdrew them with a look of rebuke for the familiarity, and they sat in silence for some minutes, Gerald stroking the cat, who sub- mitted to his caresses more willingly than to Peggy’s. n ,5,, Les). -‘T'!B1enuat the same moment their heads turned toward each other, and their eyes met1_o_\fingly. _ n- I ,,,on “ Whamo amide you come to this house ‘2” asked Peggy softly. “ I don’t know London, and You had told me this was where you and your mother used to come,” he answered shyly.“ “A‘ngthiérip’aZus; Tier: Gerald'afioke agair “ W119i: Qidjouggme to England for ?" “ I? 0, I? \Vhyâ€"to egrn my own liv- ing. I'm tired of idleness,” said Peggy reatlessly and rather incoherently. “ What did you come for ‘!” with resolution. “ Madame de Lancrv sent me ; I thought she had sent you." Peggy’s face clouded. “She is a hard, cruel woman, and I hate her. What did she send you here for ? “Ye-es. fiatrlet me go ; I want to talk “ To give a letter to Mr. Smith.’ “ Mr. Smith I I don’t like hi1 did 3911 give him_tl_le letqer ‘1" “Not yet.

Last night I was talking to a tall thin lady who had supper in here with us; she was very amusing, and said lots of things that were funny just from the way she said them; and presently I found out that she was an old actress when somebody in the room began to abuse the stage. She de» fended her profession, and when she was challenged to deny that there were a. great many wicked reople in it, she said she only new one thoroughly bed, and he had left the stage. Everybody laughed at her, and wanted to know his name. She would not ?” ivaé SO: glad to see you,” he said in like him. And 011 “ You must go again, ana glVe u. 1 vu must see him. You had better go now.” They rose at the same moment, both tevribly excited. "How could you sit; here quietly and talk about other things, when you had heard that '3" hissed one the girl, in a. low voice. “Don’t you know what thiamuy throw light upon?" t - n: She would', not let him kiss her again, but; shook hands, holding him off. as it she did not read the wish in his eyes. Reluctantly, but trying to hide his re- luctance from the energetic little creature who stood there inciting him with flashing eyesbo immediate action, Gerald left her and started on his errand. W-‘V‘IYESWJBEEWiâ€"I forgot everythingâ€" when I saw you.”_ _ _ _ ‘ - v s 1.“; It was a. lodging-house in the north of London to which the old actress had direct- ed him. and it did not take him long to find his way back to it ; a great, bare, dingy house, let chieflv in single rooms, into one of which, after waiting for some time, Get- ald was shown. A wretched place at the best ; it looked like a prison now that it was tenanted by the miserable creature who sat by the table and looked suspiciously at Ger- al'l as he came in. For a. few moments the young fellow hesi- tated, uname to recognise the florid, swag- gering, travelling companion of Mr. Sh aw in the man before him. '_ $315334; Wile said at last diffidently “ You don’t remember me, I amrafraidi” The other tried to pull himself to ether, and the limp and forced travesty of is old buoyagt nunner, as he passed a shaking hand through his long White hair, reassured Gerald as to his identity. “ Ah, yes, delighted to meet you again.” And he shook the young man’s hand heart- ly showing plainly in his face, however, that the sight; of his visitor aroused in his mind no memories what/ever. " I am staying in London now,” said Get- ald simply, when he had been offered a chair and had ’ltaken it rather awkwardly, not knowing how to come round to the ob- ject of his visit. ‘1.‘ 1L “ Indeed! I am very had to hear it. Hope I may have the piasure of seeing you again when I ' am in more comfortable quarters. This is merely a. mtke-shlfh, you understandâ€"good enough for a. bachelor for a couple of d nys, butâ€"” . a: I!_L__ He stopped short, listeningâ€"as if listen- ing were a. constant habit of his life. Then he got up, and glanced out of the window ; and Gerald saw that his face wore a hunted look. The young man sprang up, hot and red-faced, and broke out impetuously : “ Look here, Mr. Blair, 1 see you don‘t know me, so I’ll tell you what I’ve come about. Miss Harrison, who was staying here, and who was kind to you when you were ill, has told me about your troubles. Is it true that on the night you crossed to England, after the robbery in the train, Mr. Snitch crossed too ‘2” A The old man turned livid, and started forward with a. curse. “ You are a. detective I” “ No. I'm a. clerk of Mr. Beresford’s. and I’ve been sent over here, as far as I can make out, to keep an eye on the doings of Mr. Sn ith.” “15 he. suspected then ‘3” asked Blair feverishly. “1 know there is a warrant out @gainsflnge ;_ is there one against him ?" ,1: L_:__._ Uub “gunman ulu , In nanny Vuv «5...--- _...._ . “ No. Nobody suspects him of being concerned in the robbery, except me, and you, and I believe one other person. Is it true that he crossed with you?” “Yes, curse him ! He chummed up with me on the way, and got me to drink with him at Dover ; and then I hardly re- member what happened next, but just the rattle of the cabs and trains; and when I first came quite to myself again, it was sev- en o’clock the next morning, and I was in the Scotch express, on the other side of the Border. I found some money in my pocket, and a note'in a handwriting I did not know, advising me to keep out of the way for a while. I got out at Edinburgh, and tele- graphed to Mr. Shaw at ‘ Les Bouleaux ’ in the afternoon, when I had got my wits back a little. I got no answer, as you know, for next day I learnt that he had been murder- ed.” His voice sank to a horror-struck l whisper. “ I rushed back to London, to i find that a warrant had been issued for my apprehension, and that I was suspected, not only of the robbery, but of com licity with the persons who murdered my est friend. I did not dare to come forward, I did not dare to leave London ; and I have lived like a. rat in a hole ever since.” “ But surely you could have proved your innocence? Anything was better than seeming to hide yourself.” Blair shook his head. “ What could I prove? Shaw was dead. That scoundrel Smith is a man of position and trust. Men like me, who live by their wits; have no friends at court, or anywhere else, At best, they would have said I was his accomplice, and as he would certainly . ~r ,LUAIJ Lh_h L4,] have beenâ€" to sufi‘er.” “ Have you the note advising you to keep out of the way '3” asked Gerald, in a. low voice.

Medical Record, not long ago, gave an account of nocturnal visions which for a. longr time disturbed an aged lady over ninety years of age. She was apparently in good health and was not; in the habit of using opium or alcohol. Every night a. group of gayly dressed people would come to her sleeping room and remain till morning. Some of them would sit and look on her, and the young women, clad in lig t, hand- some dresses, and with gay caps and bonnets would talk in a. low tone and smile and bang wet flowers over her pictures or doors, and try; to pass from room to r1 om. , __A_I.: _-a.

These visions doubtless occurred to her in dreams, which occupied very brief per- iods; but probably the condition of her brain was similar to that of those who see visions when awake, and all such cases might be bent fited by proper treatment.
