my lips.” And he sighed, shaking his head 
in gentle deprecation of himself. “But 
you look pale—haggard," he went on; 
“you are ill, young sir!” 
“No, no,” said I, springing to my feet; 
“I am well enough, but what of him we 
found in the ditch, you and I —the miser- 
able creature in the grass?” 
“He has been very near death, sir— 
indeed his days are numbered, yet lie is 
better, for the time being, and last night 
declared his intention of leaving my hum¬ 
ble roof and setting forth upon his mi s . 
sion.” 
“His mission, sir?” 
“ He speaks of himself as one chosen by 
God, and asks but to live until this mis¬ 
sion, whatever it is, be accomplished. He 
is one who would seem to have suffered 
some great wrong, the continued thought 
of which has unhinged his mind; his heart 
seems broken—dead. I have, sitting be¬ 
side his delirious couch, heard him babble 
a terrible indictment against some man.” 
WHAT HAS HAPPENED 
"DECAUSE Pet r V bart suspected Char- 
^ mian, the beautiful and mysterious 
woman who fled to him for protection, he 
has lost her just as it dawned upon him he 
loved her. Wearily he goes Pack to the 
forge, where he is now in charge, as the 
owner Black George has been forced to 
hide after a quarrel with the squire’s men 
Peter meets him in the dawn, looking up at 
the window of his sweetheart Prue, whose 
love George thinks Peter has won. 
“Poor fellow!” said I, “it were better 
we had left him to die in his ditch, for if 
death does not bring oblivion, it may 
bring a change of scene.” 
“Sir,” said the Preacher, laying his 
hand upon my arm, “such bitterness in 
one so young is unnatural; you are in 
some trouble; I would that I might aid 
you, be your friend—know you better—" 
“Oh, sir! that is easily done. I am a 
blacksmith, hard-working, sober, and 
useful to my fellows; they cadi me Peter 
Smith. A certain time since I was a use- 
less'dreamer; spending more money in a 
week than I now earn in a year, and get¬ 
ting very little for it. I was studious, 
egotistical, and pedantic—and they knew 
me as Peter Vibart.” 
“Vibart!” exclaimed the Preacher, 
starting and looking up at me. “ Related 
in any way to—Sir Maurice Vibart?” 
“His cousin, sir.” My companion ap¬ 
peared lost in thought. 
“Do you happen to know Sir Mau¬ 
rice?” I inquired. 
“No,” returned the Preacher; “no, 
sir, but I have heard mention of him.” 
“Why, the name is familiar to a great 
many people,” said I; “you see, he is 
rather a famous character, in his way.’ 
Talking thus, we presently reached a 
stile beyond which the footpath led away 
through swaying corn and by shady hop¬ 
garden, to Sissinghurst village. Here the 
Preacher stopped and gave me his hand, 
“And you are now a blacksmith? 
“And mightily content so to be.” 
“You are a most strange young man! 
said the Preacher, shaking his head. 
“Many people have told me the same, 
sir,” said I, and vaulted over the stile. 
CHAPTER XXXVIII 
IN WHICH I MEET MY COUSIN, SIR MAURICE 
- VIBART 
A S I approached the smithy, no sour.c 
of hammer reached me, and coming 
into the place, I found it empty. Then! 
remembered that George was to driv< 
over to Tonbridge, with Prudence and 
the Ancient, to invest in certain house 
hold necessities, for in a month s time 
they were to be married. 
Hereupon I must needs contras 
George’s happy future with my drear} 
one; and, sitting on the Ancient’s stoo 
in the corner, I covered my face and m} 
thoughts were very black.
