A DEADLY J ILKMMA. coming. How he listened for that lighl Jootfall. His heart was full, indeed, oj gall and bitterness. He loved her so dear ly, and she had treated him bo ill. Whc would ever have believed that Netta his Netta, would have thrown him ovei like that for such a ridiculous trifle Who, indeed? And least of all Netts herself, sitting alone on the stile witt her pretty face bowed deep m her hands : and her poor heart wondering how Ugh- tred, her Ughtred, could s@t aagily de sert her. In such strange ways i» the feminine variety of the human teesti constructed. To be sure, she haA of course dismissed him m the meet peremptory fashion, de- claring with all the vows propriety per- mits to the British maiden that she needed no escort of any sort home, and that she would ten thousand times rathei go alone than have him accompany her. But of course, also, she didn't mear it. What woman does? She counted upon a prompt and unconditional sur- render. Ughtred would go to the cor- ner, as m duty bound, and then come back to her with profuse expressions oi penitence for the wrong he had nevei done, to make it all up again m the ortho- dox fashion. She never intended the real tragedy that was so soon to follow, Sfo was only playing with her victim— only trying, womanlike, her power ovei Ughtred. So she sat there still, and cried and cried on, minute after minute, m an ecatacy of misery, till the eunset began to glow deeper red m the western slrvj and the bell to ring the curfew m Holm- bury tower. Then it dawned upon hei slowly, with a shock of surprise, that after all— incredible! impossible I — Ugh- tred had positively taken her at hex word, and wasn't coming back at all tonight to her. At that, the usual womanly terror seized upon her soul. Her heart turned faint. This was too terrible. Great heavens, what had she done? Had she tried Ughtred too far, and had he really gone? Waa he never going to return to her at all? Had he said goodby m earn- est to her forever and ever? Terrified at the thought and weak with crying, she rose and straggled down the narrow footpath toward the farther crossing. It was getting too late now, and Netta by this time was really frightened. She wished with all her heart she hadn't sent away Ughtred — if it were only for the tramps — a man is such a comfort. And then there waa that dreadful dog at Milton court to pass. - And Ughtred was gone, and all the world was desolate. Thinking these things m a tumult of fear to herself, she staggered along the path, feeling tired at heart and positive- ly ill with remorse and terror. The color had faded now out of her pretty red cheeks. Her eyes were dim and swollen witb. crying. She was almost half glad Ughtred couldn't see her just then, she waa such a fright with her long spell of brooding. Even ber bright print dress and her sfci-aw hat with the poppies m it couldn't redeem, she felt sure, her pallor and her wretchedness. But Ughtred was gone and the world was a wilderness. And he would never come back, and the dog at Milton court was so vicious. As she walked or rather groped her way (for she couldn't see for crying) down the path by the hedge, at every step she grew fainter and fainter. Ugh- tred was gone, the world was a blank, there were tramps and dogs, it was get- ting dark, she loved him so much, and mamma would be so angry. Turning over which thoughts with a whirling brain, for she was but a girl after all, she reached the little swing gate that led to the railway, and pushed it aside with vague, numbed hands, and stood gazing vacantly at the long curved line m front of her. Suddenly a noise rose sharp m the field behind her. It was only a colt, to be sure, disturbed by her approach, dashing wildly across his paddock, as is the way with young horseflesh. But to Netta it came as an indefinite terror, magnified ten thousand fold by her excited feelings. She made a frenzied dash for the other Bide of the railway. What it was she knew not, but it was, or might be, any- thing, everything — mad bulls, drunken men, footpads, vagabonds, murderers. Ob, how could Ugbtred ever have taken her at her word, and left her like this, alone, and m the' evening? It was cruel, it was wicked of him; she hated to be disloyal, and yet she felt m her heart it was almost unmanly. As she rushed along wildly at the top of her speed her little foot caught on the first rail. Before she knew what had happened she had fallen with her body J right across the line. Faint and terrified already with a thousand vague alarms, the sudden shock stunned and disabled her. Mad bull or drunken man, they might do as they liked now. She waa bruised and shaken. She had no thought left to rise or re-cover herself. Her eyeg closed heavily. She lost consciousness at once. It was a terrible position. She had fainted on the line, with the force of the situation. ; CHAPTER n. ÜBTc stretched it at last full across both rails. As for Ughtred, from his seat on the telegraph post on the side of the line five hundred yards farther up, he saw her pause by the gate, then dash across the road, then stumble and trip, then fall heavily forward. His heart came ng (To be continued.) fTIYPE WRITER. — Type Writer for Bale JL cheap j quite new. Apply Office of bis paper. Smto An* Vtws
