Adam stayed till he knew Mrs. Poyser expected him to go, engaging her and her husband in talk as constantly as he could, for the take of leaving Hetty more at ease. He lingered, ;because he wanted to see her safely through thet evening, and he was delighted to see how much self-command she showed. He knew she had not had time to read the letter, but’ he did not know she was buoyed up by a secret hope that the letter would contradict every- |‘ thing he had said. It was hard work for|! him to leave her—hard to think that he|*

should not know for days how she/§ was bearing her trouble. But he must go at last, and all he could

do was to press her hand gently as he said, | © ‘Good bye,’ and hope she would take that |? as a sign that if his love could ever be a re- fuge for her, it was there the same as ever. How busy his thoughts were, as he walked home, in devising pitying excuses for her folly; in uttering all her weakness to the sweet lovelingness of her nature; in blam-|) ing Arthur, with less and less inclination to admit that his conduet might be extenuat- ed too!

The Government then found the

‘Her head was allays likely to be turned,’ he thought, ‘when a gentleman, with his|{t fine manners and fine clothes, and his white hands, and that way o’ talking gentlefolks|¢ bave, came about her, making up to her in a bold way, as @ man couldn’t do that was only her equal ; and it’s much if she'll ever like a common man now.’ He could not help drawing his own hands out of his pocket and looking at them—at the hard palms and broken finger nails. ‘I’m a roughish fellow, altogether ; I don’t know, now I come to think on’t, what there is much for a woman to like about me; and yet I might ha’ got another wife easy enough, if I hadn’t set my heart on her.

As Adam was getting over a stile at this point ia his reflections, he perceived a man walking along the field before him. He knew it was Seth, returning from an even- ing preaching, and made haste to overtake him.

‘I thought thee’dst be at home before me,’ he said, as Seth turned round to wait for him, ‘for I’m later than usual to-night.’

‘Well, I'm later too, for I got into talk, after meeting, with John Barnes, who has lately expressed himself in a state of per- fection, and I’d a question to ask him about his experience It’s one o’ them subjects! that lead you further than y’ expect—they don’t lie along the straight road.’
