r, Our Short Story. A MARCH NIGHT'S ADVEMTBE. "My dear," said Mr. Ellis, looking up from his letters one morning in the early part cf March and addressing his wife, who sat opposite I site him at the breakfast-table, "I must have I tfty pounds at once!" "Fifty pounds, Philip!" she exclaimed, with a gasp, and we haven't fifty pence. Do you ewe all that? And to whom?" I "Yes," 'he answered gravely. "I owe it. Never mind to whom. It is for implements 111, bought to come to this f:irm. I understood I that* at least three months' credit was given. But, never mind," setting'his teeth, '"I'll pay it, and that at once." I "But how?" persisted his wife. "You can't I coin money, neither can you go out and knock, down the first man you meei and rob him. This creditor of ours must wait—that's all about it." Philip Ellis took out his pencil and pocket- book. "Now." lie said, "people owe me mere than I £50, and J, in my turn, must make them pay. There's Morris, the Moor Farm, to whom I gold that last rick of hay. He ov. es £ 25—that's half of it-and, with one and another, I can makuupthootherhalf. As it happens, I met oid Morris yesterday, and he told me the money- was ready and T could have it any time. So I Maud (risiiig* from the table), while I see about j AottiM in. these smaller accounts, do you think you could walk over to Morris's place, and get r the money?" •'Of course, I could," answered Maud Ellis, promptly, "Cis and I will go together, and quite enjoy the walk, I am sure." "Very well," said Mr. Ellis, greatly relieved, and preparing to go out. "But. mind, go in 4me Have an early dinner, and start about two o'clock. Remember, it is five miles, and the nights olo.-e in early. Don't expect me hoiro till late," and, giving her some last in- structions about the Y.ny to bo followed, he left the room. Having seen her husband away, Maud ran upstairs to her siiter is room. "Oh Cis," she cried, "some old villain ha3 written to Phil demanding fifty pound; which we owe him at once, and he was so awfully vexed, but I think wo can make it up, and you and I are going to the Moor Farm this morning to get £ 25 they o-.vo us, so do hurry, and lets JC off at once." "Hu«h!" said Cis Holbrook, cautiously; "Hu«h!" said Cis Holbrook, cautiously; "don't speak so loud. Some of the servants may hear you, and (in a whisper) 1;25 is a good deal of money—not to be picked up every day." "Cis" said Maud timidly, with a quavering voice', "how you do frighten one, and all for r.othing." "Oh, it's as well to be Careful, and rot put temptation in people's way, that s all. Ru'r- ever, I shill bo down in hr.lf the shake of a sheep's tail, and thca we can start at once." "C'S," cried Maud, "how horridly vulgar you havo got." "Not at all," said Cis serenely, "but as we are farmers we mny an well speak lik.? fanners —and that saying about, the shake of a sheep's I t:d struck mo as being mo.<t expressive. If voi: don't brieve mo. just take notice of any sheep shaking Us tail." I "I ..hdl do no such thins." said Maud, with dignity, and leaving the room. "I'll just; finish nailing up that rose tree that got blown down the other night, while waiting for you." When Cis got down a quarter of an hour later she found Maud huddled up in a heap at the foot of the step-ladder, with one foot twisted under her, leaving no doubt that it was at least badly sprained-if nothing worse. "Well, how in the world did you manage that?" cried Cis aghast. '3Jid you fall right down from the top?" But Maud was unable to reply except with a groan of pain. Cis ran back to the house for the maid of all I work, and between them both Mrs. Ellis was conveyed to bed. Then Cis set off to fetch the nearest doctor, who lived two miles away- with her sister's last words ringing in her ears all the way, "Oh how I wish we had never come to this liorrible place." Philip Ellis had been advised to try farming as an occupation instead of a clerkship, owing to his failing health. He had consequently taken a cheese farm in Wales, and having some knowledge of. the business was likely to gain in health and money. They had been there now just one month and had found. like all beginners do, that they wanted ready cash rather badly. Cis meditated on these things as she walked her fastest to the doctor. She was quite a I different type of girl to her sister. While Maud was petite and pretty, and gave one the idea of being rather helpless, Cis was tall and very graceful, and looked thoroughly capable. i,, was her brother-in-law's right hand since ov- had come to Wales. Tiio doe-ir was speedily found, and by the time Maud's foot had been seen to it was two 'J'¡"d. After Dr. Hughes had gone Cis sat down by Maud's bedside. "Oh what an awful, miserable day this has I I been," she sobbed, and there's that money to be fetched. Oh, what shall we do?" r "Don't cry, said Cis, you will only make yourself worse. I'll. go for the money. Poer old Phil is worried enough as it is." "Oh, but Cis," cried Maud, "you don't know the way, and it's ever so far--five miles—and you have already been to Pentre for the doctor." "Never ^mind all that," said Cis, getting her hat and coat on," "I don't feel at all tired. It is now only three o'clock. I shall be back by seven if I walk fast." | Kissing her sister, who offered no further protest, knowing really it was the best thing to do, and confident in Cis's ability to take care of herself, she set out. For three miles she swung along steadily- then the sky darkened, ahd it began to snow. '1 he road was very lonely, being little more now than a. sheep track across the mountain. Were it not for her anxiety on her sister's account Cis would thoroughly have enjoyed her walk, but ae it was she hurried on heeding nothing but that it was getting dark rapidly, and she saw no sign of any farm house." She looked at her watch, "nearlv five o'clock," and alL that long way to walk back. Another hundred yards ar.d she came in sight of the Moor Farm. The candles were lighted, and the blinds drawn, although it was not yet quite dark. Cis walked up to the door and knocked. Several dogs barked and sprang towards ttie door, causing her for a moment to quail. She had learned to dread the savage Welsh sheep dog with his ugly etjmp of a tail. Hearing someone inside unbarring the doer she called out. "Please tie up the dogs. I am come from Mr. Eilis, the Maiiest Farm." The Jogs were i'xme liatelv called away, and the door opened by a. sturdy Welsh servant girl, who ushered her into the large kitchen. It was a cosy sight that met her eyes. The large, old-fashioned fireplace with a blazing log fire; the little round table set for tea, with its piles of quoits, and placed just in the corner of the ample hearth; the flitches of bacon hanging from the low rafters; the dresser, with its shining pewter, and a large table covered with cheeses, being packed ready for market on the morrow. Mrs. Morris welcomed her cordially, and in- sisted upon her taking off her wet ulster and having somey tea, and quoitt, which Cis thoroughly deipitp h^t anxiety. These quoits, be it ka. '-n `, are quite è-s characteristic of Wales as art scones of Scotland. They are made round, as the name implies, and baked over the fire on a bakestone. While* Cis was faking her tea. her eyes rambling around the quaint old kitchen, she kvas startled to see a little old man, with a. great hump on his back, and 4 pinched, wizened face, who was looking at her so intently, that in sudden dren^ ^'fr^^eanli isfeemed to /stop beating. He was sitting in'\he deep embrasure of the hearth, almost. hiddeÏl in deep shadow. Cis hastily finished her tea, and said she really must, be going. While the old we. man hobbled upstairs to fatoli the money. Cis turned to look at the little old man. His eyes were closed, but as she looked she beca,mo conscious that he was vatching her through the half-closed lids, and again that tindefinalle horror come over her. Controlling herself by a strong effort, she walked '.t. the ott,r elid or the kitohen and critioaily e-xamined a picture of Ur. price, the Welsh Druid, until MK. Morris came back. 'Icirg to the table, she proceeded to count out the money in Welpit-uli, dau, tri, pec!war. u'ltil twenty-five were counted. Cis hastily gathered them up and gave a. receipt. Seeing old }Jrs. Morris nodding to someone, Cis turned and found that the little old man was goimr. "He is a man; who works on the farm," she told Cis. "He .is very clever with hors<«, and, I indeed, all afciWMK I "Where is he going to now?" asked Cis. "To bed. I expect, my dear. He sleeps over the stable. I am so sorry Morris is away from home, or else he should come with you. You are sure you are not afraid? "Quite sure, thank you." said Cis, "and see, it has stopped snowing, and the snow on the ground makes it seem much lighter." It was with a heart full of foreboding, how- ever, that Cis heard the farmhouse door barred after her and set out on her long lonely walk. She stopped, however, before she had gone many yards, turned back, and knocked again at the door. It was immediately opened by Mrs. Morris. "Could you lend me a stick, cr anything to protect myself with?" Cis asked. "I should feel so much safer if I had something in my hand." "Surely, my dear," returned the old woman, kirdly. "Here ie a sword sti .-k of my husband's. Would you like this?" "That will do nicely," cried Cis, taking it eagerly, "and now, good night, once more." She ran until she was out of breath. As her eyes became accustomed to the night she found it was not really so dark after all. She walked and ran alternately, and iiooh covered the. first half of her journey. As she walked rapidly' along, thinking how she would enjoy telling Phil and Maud her I adventure, she fancied she could see a figure walking along a few yards in front. Though feeling strongly inclined to turn and run the other way, she set her teeth, and continued walking steadily en. Naturally of high courage, the thought of Phil, waiting for the money, and Maud ill and helpless at home nerved her as nothing else could. She now felt sure it was the horrible little humpback. Nor w.is was the horrible little humpback. Nor w.is she mistaken, for. though he persistentlv kept his face turned away from her, his figure was unmistakable. Though nearly fainting with fright, and with a horrible choking sensation in her throat, Cis put on a bold front, and for nearly half a. mile they trudged along abreast of each other, she straining every nerve to outwalk him, but in vain. Cis never relaxed her watch over his movener.ts. or ceaseti to gritp the bag which contained the money, and which she had placed in the bosom of her dress. dd»nly. and when she had begun to hope tl.at he meant no harm, and she had done him wrong by her suspicions, he crossed the road, and walked by her side. "You are out late, my. girl." he said. "Not so verr," answered Cis, in a steady voice, "it is not yet seven o'clock." "A wonder ye're not afraid," he said. "And 'tis a lonely road. Not fit for a young girl." "'Ti" rather lonely," she said, forcing her- self to give a half-laugh. "But 1 am well- protected. Anyone molesting me would get more than they bargained for, I expect. She looked steadily at him, though trembling so much that her knees could scarcely sup- port her, and before those dauntless eyes, he quviled for a minute, but no more. o Suddenly he clutched her arm. "Give me the gold!" he cried, hoarsely, his Lot breath fanning her cheeks, and his evil eyes glaring into hers. I With a sudden, quick movement, she wrenched herself free of him. and ran a few yards, but her foot caught in a cart rut, and she fell. Instantly he was upon her. "I didn't want to kill you." he said savagely, his breath coming short and fast, "but now" --and she felt his bonv fingers at her throat, the knuckles pressing harder and harder. She closed her eyes thinking, "This is death." He shifted his position slightly, the weight on her chest lifted, and she nerved herself for an effort. With a last despairing gurgle she drew the sword from the stick, and with all her strength struck at the robber. His giasp loosened instantly, and, feeling herself free, Cis threw him off, and ran terror- strickcn down the mountain. She never paused until she reached home. then, handing the monev to Maud, she fainted quietly away. "e When Philip Ellis came home an hour later, bringing with him an old college friend whom he had met in the town, he found his sister-in- law waiting for him. and no sooner had the two men heard the story than she insisted upon going with them to show them the place. "Let's start at once." she said excitedly; "I didn't mean to kill l im, but I am afri-ul ho must be dead. for the front of my ulster was covered with blood." The two men could hardly keep up with lier, so rapidly did she walk until the place was reached. They found him lying where she had Lr left him., quite dead. the sword having pierced J the heart. liaving made sure that life was 0tinot Philip got up. "Take her home. Hoo," he said to Robert Ingram. "Poor giri. she has had enough to turn her brain. I am going on to Morris's to get help." I For a long time Robert Ingram tried to rouse Cis, but all to bo purpose. She sat looking at the thing with a horrible fascina- tiolJ. "Dead," she cried, "and I have killed him. My hands are stained with blood. The curse I of Cain is on me. Do you hear!" she cried fiercely. "Why don't you run from me m horror?'' He saw that she was overwrought, and did I' not know what she was saying. "Now. look here." be said calmly, taking her hands in his own strong ones, "you must ocme home with me at once. Do you At once." putting his arm about her. and as- sisting her to rise. "As for what you have clone, you know if you hadn't he would have done it to you, and taken Phil's twnstv-five pounds. So, like a good, sensible girl, come heme with me." Leaning heavily on his arm. she walked on for some distance. Suddenly she stopped, and clung to him with both hands. I "Will they hang me?" she cried, in terror, shaking, as though with ague. He put both his arms about her and clasped her to him. "Never! my darling," he cried. "Trust to i me, and don't trouble any more." j When at last they got home the was in a j raving delirium—and for weeks her life hunr in the balance. Youth, however, and a strong cr nstitution triumphed in the end, and when the June roses were blooming she was about again, looking like the gli* of her old self, with her short black hair and white face. I Bob Ingram stayed on at Man est Farm, C! til she was about again. Somehow he could not tear himself away. Long before then the inquest had been held on the humpback, and she was, of course, acquitted of all blame, and before the roses died away- Bob and Cis were married, and had left for evee the Welsh farm where she had had such t terrible experience on the night thwt she irst me,. hw husband.
