EXEUNT--OMNES.
Anthony was in his cell. He expected every moment to be called forth,
and to hear his doom. He was perfectly calm, and thought only of Urith.
He had the half-token about his neck, and he kissed it. Urith had given
it to him: it was a pledge to him that she would ever be heartaching for
him, living in the love and thought of him. Time passed without his
noticing it.
Steps approached his cell, and he rose from his seat, ready to follow
the soldier who would lead him forth to death. But, to his astonishment,
in the door appeared Julian, with the lieutenant. Anthony's face
darkened, and he stepped back. Why should this girl--this girl who had
poisoned his life--come to torment and disturb him at the last hour?
Perhaps she read his thoughts in his face by the pale ray of light that
entered from the window; and, with a voice trembling with emotion, she
said, "Anthony, you are free!"
He did not stir, but looked questioningly at her. She also was pale,
deadly pale, and her whole frame was quivering.
"It is true," said Friswell. "You are free to depart, you and the old
man; both are discharged. There has been a mistake."
"I do not understand. There can have been no mistake," said Anthony.
"Come, quick; follow me," said Julian. Then, in a low tone, turning to
the lieutenant, she said, "Suffer me one moment to speak to him alone."
"You may speak to him as much as you will," said the young man. "I only
wish I were in his place."
"Anthony," said she, "say not another word to anyone here. I have
delivered you."
"You, Julian! But how?"
"I have bought your life, with gold and----"
"And with what?"
"With--but I will tell you outside, not here. Come, your father awaits
you."
"I thank you for what you have done for me, Julian. If I have wronged
you in any way hitherto, I ask your forgiveness. Indeed, we have been in
the wrong on all sides--none pure, none--save Bessie."
"None, save Bessie," repeated Julian.
"Come with me," she added, after a silence; and he obeyed.
Near the castle stands the weather-beaten church of St. Petrock, with
its granite-pinnacled tower. Outside this church, on a tombstone, sat
the old Squire. He first had been released, not at all comprehending how
he had escaped death; not allowed to ask questions, huddled out of the
castle, and sent forth into the street, bewildered and in doubt.
Now, with wide-opened eyes, he stared at Julian and his son as they
came to him, as though he saw spirits from the dead.
"He is free, he is restored to you!" said Julian. The old man tried to
rise, but sank back on the stone, extended his arms, and in a moment was
locked in those of his son.
He could not understand what had taken place. He knew only that both he
and Anthony were free, and in no further danger, but how that had come
about, and how it was that Fox was in bonds, he could not make out. The
reaction after the strain on his nerves set in. Great tears rolled out
of his eyes, and he sobbed like a child on the breast of Anthony.
Then Julian told him how that his son had come and had surrendered
himself to save his father. The old man listened, and as he listened,
his pride, his hardness gave way. He put his hand into that of his son
and pressed it. He could not speak, his heart was overfull.
But how had Anthony escaped? That he could not understand.
Then Julian told how that she had discovered that Fox had a hidden store
of gold in the pigeon-cote at Kilworthy. She was convinced that this was
the money that her father had lost, the money he was conveying to
Monmouth at Taunton. Fox must have robbed the coach, robbed his own
father, secreted the bags near the place where he had stolen them, and
conveyed them by night, one by one, to the pigeon house at Kilworthy,
where he had supposed they were safe, as the cote was deserted and no
one ever entered it, least of all ascended a ladder to explore the
pigeon-holes. She, by accident, had observed him, but had not allowed
him to suppose that he had been seen.
When Anthony gave himself up, then Julian had entreated Fox to use this
money to obtain the freedom of his friend and brother-in-law. As he had
refused to do so, Julian had gone home, and taken the gold, brought it
to Lydford, and with it had purchased Anthony's freedom.
As they spoke, the sexton passed them, rattling the keys of the church.
He took no notice of them, nor they of him. They, indeed, were immersed
in their own concerns.
"But," said Anthony, "you said something more to me. You had sacrificed
something for me besides the gold. What was it----?"
"A life," answered Julian, in a low tone.
Hark! as she said the word, the bell of the church began to toll.
"There is some one dying," said the old man, rising from the gravestone.
"Let us pray for him as he passes."
There was a noise of voices in the street, exclamations, heard between
the deep deafening notes of the bell.
Presently the old man said. "What did you say, Julian! A life--whose
life?"
She did not answer. He looked round. She was gone.
"And what did the Captain mean," he added, "when he said--he who has
stepped into another man's shoes must wear his cravat?"
As he looked about, searching for Julian--he saw his question answered;
understood why the bell tolled, why the whole of the population of the
little place was in the street, talking, gesticulating, crying out, and
looking at the topmost window of the Castle.
He who had stepped into Anthony's shoes, assumed his name, occupied his
place, was wearing the cravat intended for his neck.
But where was Julian?
That was a question asked often, repeatedly, urgently, and it was a
question that was never answered.
A shepherd boy declared that he had seen her going over the moor in the
direction of Tavy Cleave. Search was made for her in every direction,
but in vain.
When the writer was a boy, he was with a party at a picnic at Tavy
Cleave, and was bidden descend the precipitous flank to the river to
bring up water in an iron kettle. He went down--jumping, sliding,
scrambling, and suddenly slid through a branch of whortleberry plants
between some masses of rock that had fallen together, wedging each other
up, and found himself in a pit under these rocks. To his surprise he
there found a number of bones. His first impression was that a sheep had
fallen from the rocks into this place, and had there died, but a little
further examination convinced him that the remains were not those of a
sheep at all. Among the remains, where were the little bones of the
hand, was a ring. The ring was of gold and delicately wrought. It
probably at one time contained hair, but this had disappeared, and the
socket was empty, within the hoop was engraved "Ulalia Crymes, d. April
6, 1665." It was clearly a mourning ring. Now Ulalia Glanville was the
last of that family, the heiress who married Ferdinando Crymes, and the
day of her burial was April 10th, therefore, probably she died about
April 6th, in that very year, 1665. And this was the mother of Julian.
Can this have been the ring commemorative of her mother worn by Julian
Crymes, and does this fact identify the bones as the remains of that
unhappy girl? If so she must have either slipped or precipitated herself
from the rocks over head, and fallen between these masses of stone,
where her crushed body escaped the observation of all searchers, and of
accidental passers-by.
As already said in an earlier chapter, the parish church of Peter Tavy
has gone through that process which is facetiously termed "restoration,"
on the principle of the derivation of _Lucus à non lucendo_; restoration
meaning, in ninety-nine out of a hundred cases the utter destruction of
every element of interest and loveliness in an ancient church. Among the
objects on which one of those West of England wreckers, the architects,
exhibit their destructive energies are the tombstones.
Now, in Peter Tavy Church, previous to its restoration, there were--in
the interest of my story--two tombstones, fortunately transcribed before
the wrecker began his work.
Here is one, cut on a slate slab let into the floor:--
"TO THE MEMORY OF
ANTHONY CLEVERDON, GENT.,
[_Then a pair of clasped right hands_]
AND URITH, HIS WIFE,
DAUGHTER AND HEIRESS OF
RICHARD MALVINE, OF WILLSWORTHY, GENT."
Under this stone the corps of them abide
What lived and tenderly did love, and dyed.
Wedlock and Death had with the Grave agreed
To make for them an everlasting marriage bed,
Where in repose their mixed dust might lye.
Their souls be gone up hand in hand on high.
Curiously enough, there was no date to this tomb.
It would appear that for a hundred years the descendants of Anthony and
Urith remained at Willsworthy, and then the family became extinct. It
would also appear that Hall passed completely out of the family of
Cleverdon, the old Anthony Cleverdon, on his death, being entered in the
register as "Anthony Cleverdon the Elder, once of Hall, but now of
Willsworthy, Gentleman;" and the date of his burial was 1689, so that he
just survived the accession of the Prince of Orange.
It cannot be doubted that the few remaining years of his life saw him an
altered man, and that he had discovered that with the loss of Hall he
had gained something, as Luke had said, far more precious--the love of
his children, and the knowledge how precious it was.
In the floor of the chancel, below the Communion-rails, was another
Cleverdon monument, but not one of a Cleverdon of Willsworthy, but of a
rector of Peter Tavy. His Christian name was Luke. We may therefore
conclude that Luke from being curate became incumbent of the church and
parish he had served so faithfully. Beneath his name stood a second. The
inscription ran thus:--"Also of Elizabeth, his true helpmeet, daughter
of Anthony Cleverdon, formerly of Hall." There was no mention on it of
the marriage with Fox. Below stood the text from Proverbs:--
"Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The
heart of her husband doth safely trust in her. She will do him good, and
not evil, all the days of her life."

D. BEDFORD, and F. MASEY. Large Crown 8vo, cloth super extra, top edge
gilt, 10s. 6d. Third Edition.
[_Ready._
"'Old Country Life,' as healthy wholesome reading, full of breezy life
and movement, full of quaint stories vigorously told, will not be
excelled by any book to be published throughout the year. Sound, hearty,
and English to the core."--_World._
"Mr. Baring Gould is well known as a clever and versatile author; but he
never wrote a more delightful book than the volume before us. He has
described English country life with the fidelity that only comes with
close acquaintance, and with an appreciation of its more attractive
features not surpassed even in the pages of Washington Irving. The
illustrations add very much to the charm of the book, and the artists in
their drawings of old churches and manor-houses, streets, cottages, and
gardens, have greatly assisted the author."--_Manchester Guardian._
HISTORIC ODDITIES AND STRANGE EVENTS. Demy 8vo, 10s. 6d. Second
Edition. Cheap Edition, 6s.
"A collection of exciting and entertaining chapters. The whole volume is
delightful reading."--_Times._

reference. The entire contents are stimulating and delightful."--_Notes
and Queries._
FREAKS OF FANATICISM. (First published as Historic Oddities, Second
Series.) Demy 8vo, 10s. 6d. Cheap Edition, 6s.
"Mr. Baring Gould has a keen eye for colour and effect, and the subjects
he has chosen give ample scope to his descriptive and analytic
faculties. A perfectly fascinating book. Whether considered as merely
popular reading or as a succession of studies in the freaks of human
history, it is equally worthy of perusal, while it is marked by the
artistic literary colouring and happy lightness of style."--_Scottish
Leader._
SONGS OF THE WEST: Traditional Ballads and Songs of the West of
England, with their Traditional Melodies. Collected by S. BARING GOULD,
M.A., and H. FLEETWOOD SHEPPARD, M.A. Arranged for Voice and Piano. In 4

ARMINELL: A Social Romance. New Edition. Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d.
"To say that a book is by the author of 'Mehalah' is to imply that it
contains a story cast on strong lines, containing dramatic
possibilities, vivid and sympathetic descriptions of Nature, and a
wealth of ingenious imagery. All these expectations are justified by
'Arminell.'"--_Speaker._
URITH: A Story of Dartmoor. New Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s.
"The author is at his best."--_Times._
"He has nearly reached the high water-mark of 'Mehalah."'--_National

boards, 1s.; cloth, 1s. 6d.
"A very clever work."--MR. GLADSTONE.
"Unionist as he is, his little book has been publicly praised for its
cleverness both by Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Morley. It does, in fact, raise
most of the principal points of the Irish controversy, and puts them
tersely, lucidly, and in such a way as to strike into the mind of the
reader."--_The Speaker._
"Salient facts and clear expositions in a few sentences packed with
meaning. Every one who wishes to have the vital points of Irish politics

Notes, by REV. F. LANGBRIDGE. Crown 8vo.
"A very happy conception happily carried out. These 'Ballads of the
Brave' are intended to suit the real tastes of boys, and will suit the
taste of the great majority. It is not an ordinary selector who could
have so happily put together these characteristic samples. Other readers
besides boys may learn much from them."--_Spectator._

DITCHFIELD, M.A., F.R.H.S., Rector of Barkham, Berks. Post 8vo, 2s.
6d. Illustrated.
"A pleasantly written little volume, giving much interesting information
concerning villages and village life."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
"The object of the author is not so much to describe any particular
village as to give a clear idea of what village life has been in England
from the earliest historical times. An extremely amusing and interesting
little book, which should find a place in every parochial
library."--_Guardian._

assisted by members of the University. New Edition. Crown 8vo, 5s.
"Offers a full and in most respects a satisfactory description of the
country through which students must travel, and affords to parents who
are desirous of calculating the expenses and rewards of University
education, a mass of useful information conveniently arranged and
brought down to the most recent date."--_Athenæum._
"We can honestly say of Mr. Stedman's volume that it deserves to be read
by the people for whom it is intended, the parents and guardians of
Oxford students, present and to come, and by such students
themselves."--_Spectator._
_J. B. BURNE, M.A._
PARSON AND PEASANT: Chapters of their Natural History. By J. B. BURNE,
M.A., Rector of Wasing. Crown 8vo, 5s.
"'Parson and Peasant' is a book not only to be interested in, but to
learn something from--a book which may prove a help to many a clergyman,
and broaden the hearts and ripen the charity of laymen."--_Derby
Mercury._
BOOKS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.
_W. CLARK RUSSELL._
MASTER ROCKAFELLAR'S VOYAGE. By W. CLARK RUSSELL, Author of 'The Wreck
of the Grosvenor,' &c. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d.
"Mr. Clark Russell's story of 'Master Rockafellar's Voyage' will be
among the favourites of the Christmas books. There is a rattle and 'go'
all through it, and its illustrations are charming in themselves, and
very much above the average in the way in which they are produced. Mr.
Clark Russell is thoroughly at home on sea and with boys, and he manages
to relate and combine the marvellous in so plausible a manner that we
are quite prepared to allow that Master Rockafellar's is no unfair
example of every midshipman's first voyage. We can heartily recommend
this pretty book to the notice of the parents and friends of sea-loving
boys."--_Guardian._
"In the frank and convincing narrative of Master Rockafellar there
happens to be set a short story which should make the fortune of the
book. 'La Mulette' is as fine a piece of story-telling as ever Mr.
Russell has given us, and we heartily commend it to any boy who has the
sense to distinguish between the author who has a story to tell, and the
author who has to tell a story."--_Speaker._
_G. MANVILLE FENN._
SYD BELTON: Or, The Boy who would not go to Sea. By G. MANVILLE FENN,
Author of 'In the King's Name,' &c. Illustrated by GORDON BROWNE. Crown
8vo, 3s. 6d.
"Who among the young story-reading public will not rejoice at the sight
of the old combination, so often proved admirable--a story by Manville
Fenn, illustrated by Gordon Browne! The story, too, is one of the good
old sort, full of life and vigour, breeziness and fun. It begins well
and goes on better, and from the time Syd joins his ship exciting
incidents follow each other in such rapid and brilliant succession that
nothing short of absolute compulsion would induce the reader to lay it
down."--_Journal of Education._
"The pick of the adventure-books for this season. There is not a dull
page in it. 'Syd Belton' is a capital book."--_Speaker._
"From beginning to end the book is a vivid and even striking picture of
sea-life."--_Spectator._
_MRS. PARR._
DUMPS. By MRS. PARR, Author of 'Adam and Eve,' 'Dorothy Fox,' &c.
Illustrated by W. PARKINSON. Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d.
"One of the prettiest stories which even this clever writer has given
the world for a long time."--_World._
"A very sweet and touching story."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
_L. T. MEADE._
A GIRL OF THE PEOPLE. By L. T. MEADE, Author of 'Scamp and I.' &c.
Illustrated by R. BARNES. Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d.
"An excellent story. Vivid portraiture of character, and broad and
wholesome lessons about life."--_Spectator._
"One of Mrs. Meade's most fascinating books."--_Daily News._
