THH FACH OF ROSENFEL. 103 dark. Istarted up and looked along the road. There had been but few passers, but now I saw a man coming down on the side next to me, and I waited for him to pass. He was so muffled up that I could only see his eyes, and [ thought he acted somewhat strangely. He surely saw me, but he turned his head away quickly when I looked at him, as though he did not wish to meet my glance. Then I began to realize what a danger I might be running alone at this hour in this deserted place. J watched him fearfully as he went on, and I saw him look around toward me once or twice, and fine lly he crossed over and came back again on the other side of the way. ‘This really frightened me, but as he seemed to be going by I thought I would. wait till he got past and then run for safety with all my might. I started out for this purpose, but I had run but a little way when I heard a sleigh coming very fast from the direction the man had gone—from the direc- tion of the city. I thought by the sound the horses must be running away. I stepped back to the wall to be out of harm’s reach, but it was only a man, driving rapidly.

He seized me with ter- rible strength, putting a cold, gloved hand over my eyes and mouth and forcing me backward across the wall. I was faint with fear and his glove pressed me so tightly PC : 3 ae a he ' - ae PT ; hs SHES : Stay?) * = ‘ - to © s “~ .
