He knew what to expect. Nor was he disappointed. His tenancy was to cease. The scene of his weary toil was to pass to other hands. His dear little ones were to abandon their native roof. God of Righteousness! God of Justice! Stretch out Thy right arm! No!-Thy will be done. Just at this time a small tenement in the adjoining parish happened to be in the market. It was a freehold, and money was forthcoming to purchase the same; and Robin Dafydd became a free and independent subject of the realm. In his new abode he tilled the earth and undertook an occasional job for the surrounding farmers, and kept up the family duty; and like the deep and free ocean that surged below his peaceful hamlet, he came and went, rose and bowed to the will of his Divine Maker; while the Squire nurtured the unpleasant consciousness of his highhanded action, and repented at leisure for what he had perpetrated in haste.

The county member died, and left his only son the whole of his property, including Robin Dafydd's gift. His successor did not take to politics like his father, and consequently the Squire had a better opinion of him, and he became somewhat friendly with the young heir, who was a frequent visitor at the hall. It was not long before the local gossips, who watched the progress of events from the heights of maternity and spinstry, were able to announce an attachment between the young heir and Miss Helen, and further on they reported an engagement.

One day the betrothed couple were strolling through the beautiful and spacious park which surrounded the Squire's mansion, when Miss Helen espied a young bull approaching towards them threateningly from the herd close by. She drew her lover's attention to it, and he proceeded to meet it with his stick uplifted. He aimed a heavy blow at it, but missed, and the infuriated beast knocked him.

down, and would undoubtedly have gored him to death but for the appearance of a man from the bordering covert, who rushed past the fainting lady, and, snatching the stick from the prostrate gentleman, dealt the animal a blow that sent him toppling over, while his faithful dog kept him at

bay until their deliverer had dragged the bleeding gentleman and unconscious lady over the hedge into the next field.

It was Robin, and he hurried towards the hall to procure assistance, and having arrived at the house, through which he knew his way well, he summoned the servants, and directed them to the spot where the unfortunate pair lay. He then proceeded to the study, where he knew the Squire spent his afternoons. A sudden terror seized him when he perceived Robin advancing towards him with a bloody stick in his hand, for he concluded that Robin meditated an attack upon him.

"What do you want here?" he said sharply, and rising from his seat.

"I've come on a particular job," said Robin. The young Squire of Trefagos has been attacked by one of the bulls in the park, and he would have been gored to death, had I not been able, through the aid of my dog, to drag the youth away. Your daughter is also seriously alarmed.”

So was the Squire, but not too much to feel the sting in Robin's words.

The victims of the untoward episode were carried to the hall, and medical assistance was procured, which soon restored them to their usual health.

Inquiries were made for the hero, but he was gone. A messenger was sent to his house, but failed to find him. The Squire was annoyed; he sought the opportunity to make amends for his former tyranny. The poor man's body was found later on. He had succumbed to the after effects of internal injuries received during the struggle. The event cast a general gloom over the whole neighbourhood, and the largest crowd ever seen there assembled to pay his mortal remains their last respect.

A beautiful marble obelisk, the grandest memorial stone in the ancient churchyard, marks his grave. On one side engraved,—

IN MEMORY OF A PARTICULAR JOB,

circumstances of the brave man's end. T. L. OWEN.
