talk is sheer folly. I am a man, like the 
rest of you, and could not wish you ill— 
even if I would. Let us all shake hands, 
and forget this folly!” and I extended 
my hand to Old Amos. 
He glanced from it to my face, and 
immediately, lowering his eyes, shook his 
head. 
“’Tis the ‘Evil Eye!’” said he, and 
drew a cross upon the floor with his stick. 
“Nonsense!” said I again; “my eye is 
no more evil than yours or Job’s.” 
But, one by one, they edged to the 
door after Old Amos, until only John 
Pringle was left; he stood hesitating, then 
suddenly reaching out, he seized my 
hand, and shook it twice. 
“I ’ll call for they ’orseshoes in the 
marnin’, Peter,” said he, and vanished. 
“Arter all,” I heard him say, as he 
joined the others, “*t is summat to ha’ 
shock ’ands wi’ a chap as fights wi’ 
demons!” 
CHAPTER XI 
A SHADOW IN THE HEDGE 
/^\VER the uplands, to my left, the 
moon was peeping at me, very 
broad and yellow, casting long shadows 
athwart my way. The air was heavy 
with the perfume of honeysuckle abloom 
in the hedged—but it was none of this I 
held in my thoughts as I strode along. 
Yet, in a while, chancing to lift my eyes, 
I beheld the object of my reverie coming 
towards me through the shadows. 
“ Why—--Charmian! ” said I, uncovering 
my head. “Did you come to meet me?” 
“It must be nearly nine o’clock, sir.” 
“Yes, I had to finish some work.” 
“Did any one pass you on the road?” 
“Not a soul.” 
“Peter, have you an enemy?” 
“Not that I know of, unless it be my¬ 
self.” 
Now in one place the lane, narrowing 
suddenly, led between high banks crowned 
with bushes, so that it was very dark 
there. As we entered this gloom Char- 
mian suddenly drew closer to my side 
and slipped her hand beneath my arm 
and into my clasp, and the touch of her 
fingers was like ice. 
“Your hand is very cold!” said I. But 
she only laughed, yet I felt her shiver as 
she pressed herself close against me. 
So we passed through this place of 
shadows, and ever her cold fingers clasped 
my fingers, and her shoulder pressed my 
arm while she talked, and laughed, until 
we had left the dark place behind. Then 
she sighed and turned, and drew her arm 
from mine, and stood looking back. 
“What is it?” 
“Look!” she whispered, pointing, 
“there—where it is darkest!” Now I 
saw something that skulked amid the 
shadows—something that slunk away, 
and vanished as I watched. 
“A man! ” I exclaimed, and would have 
started in pursuit, but Charmian’s hands 
were upon my arm, strong and com¬ 
pelling. 
“Are you mad?” cried she angrily; 
“would you give him the opportunity I 
prevented? He was waiting there to—to 
shoot you, I think!”
