Thin clouds of pearly haze float slowly o'er the sky to meet its rays; and "Don't go on, miss," says the boy, with much excitement. "Don't ye. I see ye coming', an', no matter what they do to me, I says to myself, I'll warn her surely. They're waitin' for the agint below, an' maybe they might mistake ye for some one else in the dark, an' do ye some harm." "Do not call for assistance," he whispers, imploringly.
