* There, sir,’ cried Dick, with a flourish, ‘you'lldo. Stick to that, and mind your role and you'll pass muster anywheres, and before anybody ’

Ere long afterwards, Rolin Lincoln was in the open air. He tottered along tremulously, sod the people in the streets bowed reverent ly to bom as he passed. Surely he had nothing to fear now.

CHAPTER XVIII.

All that day. after Abner Danton had gone, Belinda eaw no living person, nor did she re- ceive any more food, and Jate at night, weary and hungry, she threw herself upon her bed. She slept some, but dreams dis- turbid her, and twice she had to arise to dis- pel the fearful phantome that haunted her. On the following morning she wae aroused quite carly by hearing some one enter the outer room, and she arose and went ont, but not antil the intruder had gone. She saw 8 mething upon the table. avd going up to it she fousd a emall | af of black eorn bread. and an earthen mug of water. She started back at bebolding this, bat in a moment more she remembered the threat of Danton, und a look of triumph rested upon har face.

And thug speaking she eat down to the c arse repast. Her appetite was keen, and she did ample justice to the loaf. But in half an hour afterwards, came a darker cloud. She was eitting hy the w ndow, and heard

It was near noon when Belinda became fully conscious uf thing: about her. and the first movement she made was towards the water mug She raieed it to her lips, but she could not drink the disgusting contents. Her lips were dried and crackled, ber tongue parched and furred, and her head hot and aciing She thought not of food —she thought mot of friends—ehe only thouysht of water—watcr—water! She re- membered a litte brooklet in the woods,where a silvery spring bubbled up from bemeath a huge rock, aud then ran off t rough a mossy artery by winding fantastic ways, now dwall- ing for a while in a sandy basin, as if to re- nose, and anon leaping away over a ple of rocks, and thea rusbing on wi.b merry voice and song.

Many a time had the fair girl knelt beside this brooklet with her bircheo dipper, and scooped up the icy, sparkling water, to quench ber thirst. And now that brooklet came back to her mind. She could think of nothing else, and all her desires were turned upon that well remembered song of th gushing waters. It now seemed to her that for one sweet. enrapturing draught from tha: cool epring she would g.ve years of servitude and su fe: ing.

The firet searching glance of the olficer’s eyes made the old man wincs perceptibly, but a re eae the im isguise quickly restored his com he greeted the major freely. oe

* This is Major Fitzzerald’s house, is it not” Adam asked.

‘Ab, I am happy to see you. My name ie Adam Williams. "Potens you hove heard of me?’

‘Can't ssy that I ever did. Bat walk in ; and we'll talk of that when we are

So Fitzgerald led mas followed.

‘You may think it strangs that I should call upon you thus,’ said Adam, after the had become seated; ‘but I could not resist the temptation to come once more and see my eld home.

‘Right, oid father — right.’ uttered the major, eothusically. ‘If ali the colonists would fool, no they might have sod plenty. ut they are fools! Fools, sir, [ say. Then Boston was originally your

* Boston, sir? this very house ’

Our o'd man had made himself sufficiently sure that bis host knew nothing about the former inhabitante of the house, and as he knew the building was a very old one, he ventured upon tuis excuse for his yeit. He handled his voice to perfection in its teemu+ lous accents, and in ali other ts he maintained the peculiarties of deerepid uld age.

‘Ah,’ returned the major, ‘did you live in this house ?’

‘For many years,’ said Adam, feeling that circumstances fully justified the equivocal course he was pursuing * And you will sot wonder, sir, that I should feel a longing de- sire to seo the old homestead once more. But do not fear, | mean not to afflict you with my presence long.’

‘Tet, tat, man; it’s you who mustn't ar. let's talk with something to oil our tongues, ‘or to tell you the truth, mine is kind o’ dry. W bat say you to « bottle of old Maderta.’

‘If it would not be taxing your g nerosity tco far—’

‘Pooh, not at all.’ And as the major thus spoke, be reached ap to the mantel and rang a emall bell which stood there.

This was just what the visitor could most have desired. He saw at a glance that Fitz- geraid hed already been drinking, and that he showed its effects plainly. Another bottle might loosen his tongue so that even im por- tant secrets might be got from him, for the visitor's purpose was to obtain from him a most important imformation.
