OR, A DECLARATION OF WAR.
CHAPTER X.—(Cont'd).
Her clenched handfell on the cover-
let, while, with a groan, the straight-
ened figure collapsed among the cits-
Mons. The two small eyes, Wining
like coals in the shadow, were not
those of a "spaeto^.fe" but of an in-
corrigible clan-lvomau.
"It's no "wonder you hate the Eng -
fish," remarked Mabel, after a quite
genuinely awe-stricken pause.
"We don't hate them as we hate the
IVt`llluirs," came the retort, in a voice
grown abruptly shaky. "The in-
strooment's . no so bad as the hand
that holds it, I'm thhikin'. - .Even now,
after two hundred years, it would be a
bold man who, wi' the name of' M`Muir
upon rum, wild walk down the village
street; m the light o' the sun. The
time for dirks is past, More's the pity
—but eyes full o' hate have their edge,
I'm thinkin',, and to pass through a
lane o' them wad be no just eonveeni-
ent."
Mabel was about to explore this
side of the question when Fenella,
who sat nearest the window, rose
quickly.
"Father Grey,—1 do declare!=—and
he'll catch us here, after all."
"Strike me we'd better be romping
out of this!" And Mabel rose in
mock alarm.„
The frill of Liz's nightcap resumed
its quivering motion.
"Holy Virgin! But ye've no call for
tellire him what our talk's been turn -
in' round: And I've said no word
about my leg, mind ye, or. touchin'
what might aha' brought nie to my.
back.. And, Bark ye, Miss Fenella"—:
practical considerations rising tri-
umphant above spiritual "fears—"if'
ye'd happen to hae a bit 0' puddin'
same as ye sent nae last week, Fd
no be > ower sorry for. it. The com-
fort that's to be got out o' a bit o'
puddin' is almost past believin'."
The pudding promised, and other
soothing assurances given, the com-
pany hurried laughing from the hut,
abandoning Liz to the mercies of her
spiritual director, a small old man
with a fox -terrier at his heels, who
uncovered his long, white hair as he
stood aside to let them pass.,
a
That evening at the Rectory, Julia
and .Albert had a talk, after which
Fenella could not help noting an in-
crease of warmth in the symptoms' of
family affection, and something al-
most. respectful in. Julia's manner: of
addressing her. She knew as well
as though she had had her ear at the
keyhole what they had been talking
about. That air -castle built by Albert
in spring had, within the last two
months, been gradually solidifying.
After this afternoon it could not be;
doubted that it stood on a far more'
substantial foundation than clouds.
Already Fenella herself was begin-
ning to speculate upon the look of its
inner apartments. It could not be
otherwise than dazzling. And yet,
despite conviction en this point, she
fretted a little under the approving
glances of her family. It was not
pleasant to be disposed of in this mat-
ter-of-fact
at-ter of -fact way, soentirely without
reference to her own opinion. That
this happened to coincide with theirs
could not lessen the injury done to her
personal independence; for by this
time the danger foreseen by Albert
had approached: Fenella was begin-
ning to think for Herself. If Julia
did not openly discuss with her
her chances of .catching this rich hus-
band, she guessed that thiswas in
obedience to Albert's superior diplo
macy, which preferred to maintain the
illusion of a free choice.
Well, the choice was made, and it

or, rather, what was: not? Was it a
wonder if, standing.on the pinnacle of
that cloud -castle, which was no longer
cloudly, at aer height to which :her
ambition had never dared raise its
eves, Fenella's brain should reel ing
sheer delight at the prospect of the
future which lay within her grasp?

CHAPTER Xl.
Sumner had come to Ardloch—
tardily—`yet come at last.
The thoraibushes in the glen—
among them the historical bush
popularly supposed to have been wit-
ness to the fatal signal -shot ---had
shed their blood. The primroses had
paled and died. It was the turn of
the dog -roses now, whose pink blos-
soms waged, upon 'washing days, an
unequal warfare with quarrymen's
shirts and children's pinafores. The
brackens were uncurling, the moors
faintly flushing, while upon the shore
the crilde yellow of the new seaweed
had ousted the dead brown of the old.
For Fenella's taste, there was a
good deal too much of this seaweed as,
upon one of those June evenings
which seem bent upon re-establishing
the character of the West Highlands,
she staggered along the slippery car-
pet, basket on arm, and revelling in
that delightful sense of irresponsibil-
ity which the donning of one's very
oldest frock never fails to produce.
What precise name to give to this
occupation might have puzzled any
distant observer. The movements of
the slight figure in the bleached print,
as seen from the road in the fading
daylight, seemed to call for explana-
tion.
Maybe it was curiosity on this point
which caused one of the returning
quarrymen, having stood still for a
minute in observation, to turn off the
road and tramp downwards over the
short -cropped grass which stetched
to the shore.
"Miss Fenella! what are you taking
all that trouble over?"
At the sound of the deep voice so
close by, Fenella straightened herself
with a start..
"Oh, Duncan, it's you. I did not
see you coming. I am looking, for
clams."
She stood before him laughing half-
guiltily—her face flushed with her
labors, her hat hanging down her
back, her glorious hair lightly pow-
dered with sand, her ungloved hands
richly coated with the same inaterial.
"It would be a pity to spoil your
hands before the grouse -season comes
on, would it not, Miss Fenella ?"
For one moment Fenella thought
she was going to get angry; it seemed
so impossible to keep peace with Dun-
can for long. She had all but fired
up when it struck her that a jocular
treatment of the subject presented
greater advantages. So it was in a
saucy instead of an irate tone that
she replied:
"T don't mean to spoil them. Cold -
cream will make it all right again, and
have` a new supply at home."
"Cold -cream is a mighty good thing,
o doubt, but I've" heard it said that
prevention is better than': cure; `'so
maybe it would be as well if you,: left
he digging to me, and just contented
yourself with holding the basket."
He had laid down his'tool-bag on
the sand and turned back his. sleeves
from the wrist'. The' care with which
he did it was characteristic: of the
man, and characteristic, too, of the
man were the mighty muscles bared
o view.
"All right!" said Fenella: "That
arrangement will be all the better for
e, and certainly all the worse for the
lams."
And as a clam -hunter he was un-
uestionably a success. The basket,
o poorly furnished until lately, soon
began to grow heavy on Fenella's
arm, as, laughing and slipping, she
icked her way among the stones' and
seaweed, wondering at the 'sureness
with which, by mysterious signs on
the sand, Duncan' marked down the
hidden prey. Fenella was enjoying
herself after the fashion' of a truant
school -child -that is, about" as much
as ia,' is possible to enjoy oneself upon
his mortal earth. The flavor of 11-
egality about the whole excursion-
a flavbur which she knew to be -en-
hanced by Duncan's presence—uns
avoidably raised its charm in 'her
eyes, while the comfortable knowledge
of Mr. 1Viaegilvray's and Albert's pre-
sent whereabouts did not allow this
flavor to become too acute. That
gladness which is engendered by a
sense of respite was upon her, it
was just as well to have ¢.a few weeks'
time for "living up', to" the idea of
hat future which wits to be seek. from
tho pinnacles of the cloud -castle,. So
ar, the figure of Ronald himself had
been. the cloudiest part of alI the pic-
ture; but no doubt if. she looked long
enough' and hard enough the Prince of
:he Castro would. emerge more plainly,
and would even end by dominating the
andscapo, as elle most honestly desir-
ed hien to do. If he had not done so
yet, it could only be because she lied
lot yet got the picture into the right
°cut.

THE. PRINCIPAL
The beef is split into halves; it is
them divided into fore and "'hind ,quar-
ters, and as follows;.
NECK -The neck is used for stew-
ing, soups, beef tea and corning; re-
quiring long and continuous,, cooking.
CHUCK=Chuck: and crosscut is' also
called the Boston and English cut. It..
is used for' roasting, j-ot roasting and.
braising.
BOLAR- CUT—A steak may be cut'
from this cut of neat. It is used for
pot roasting'and braising. By slow
cooking this meat' is made delicious
and tender.
SHIN -Used for stews and "soup
making:
BRISKET—Used for stews, soup
making and corning.
RIBS=Used for roasting.
PLATE=Used for stews and soup
making.
GUTS OF BEEF
SIRLOIN—Used for broiling.
FLANK—Used.
for ,stewing;.„
RUMP -Steaks from: therump are
used for broiling and :pan-broiling.
The back cut from 'the rump is used
for roasting. The pin beae'.is the
face cut from the rump averaging
from six to eight pounds.
ROUND—The meat is so called be-
cause of the way in which it lies on
the block. The upper or top of the
round is the inside of the the leg:
This is the tenderest portion. It is
cooked•by broiling or panning. The
back cuts are used for Hanmburg
steaks, pot 'roasts •and corning:: The
lower part of the r . and is the outside
of the leg. The first few steak from
this portion are tender;` the rest is
used for Hamburg steaks, stews and
pot roasts,
The Metronome, A Drill -Instructor.
"When I see a boy or girl practic-
ing with a metronome, on the piona it
always reminds sue of a policeman on
duty at a birthday party," a lady was
overheard to say to a friend' at a house
party the other evening. But that is a
severe remark to make. No one would.
unduly restrain those in attendance at
a birthday party from enjoying them-
selves. That is what the party is for.
The metronomesis more like a drill
instructor. '° Off duty he allows the
soldier certain freedom, but on duty
exactness is demanded. The click of
the pendulum is the command for
strict time: The metronome shows
no favoritism. IN it is keeping
time for a march, a waltz, a.,sonata, or
the faltering attempt of the young be-
ginner's e-xercises it is absolutely im
patial, though it ' never scolds nor
praises. And that is the secret of its
success. Having no prejudices in
favor of or against anyone it always
performs its Helpful mission fairly
and . justly: But like ` other good
disciplinarians it is not always a wel-
come friend. Some folks dislike work-
ing under` exacting foremen. If the
war has taught one thing it is the
necessity for discipline and the prin-
ciple holds good in music. So make
the acquaintance of the metronome.
Get friendly with it. Realize that it
always metes out justice and your
fear will be dispelled. Besides you
will be the gainer. Its demand for
strict time is all for your benefit:
About the only criticism one ever
hears directed against the metronome
is mot against its character, but its
physical appearance, viz.,, that in con-
trast to the graceful lines of the violin
or the harp or the piano the"outline of
the metronome iso stiff. As one musi
`clan puts it, the design is cold and un-
aynipathetic. But at heart the
metronome is kind for it serves a help-
ful and unselfish purpose.
being close at hand, Fenella, nothing
loath, obeyed.
"Don't you sit down too ?" she ask-
ed shyly, as Duncan, having washed
his hands in a pool and readjusted his
sleeves, looked about him a ` little
doubtfully.
There was plenty of accommodation
upon the rock she occupied, but Dun-
can, without a word, took place upon
one a fewpaces off, at which Fenella,
her light-hearted mood notwithstand-
ing, could not but feel relieved.
The sun had been behind the hills
for a good while now, yet darkness
'was a long way off—such darkness as
would come to this midsummer night,
Fenella, so thoughtlessly gay but a
moment back, seemed to have fallen a
victim to the magic of the hour and
spot. With her basket beside her,
and her chin upon her clasped hands,
she stared out into the summer night,
while Duncan, upon his own rock eat
as immovable as though he felt him-
self to be in the way,
But the result of her abstraction
took him by surprise; for only a few
minutes had passed when, dropping
her .hands, she turned towards him.
"po you know," .she soId, with the
£first touch " of constraint she had
shown to -day, "I made the acgyain-
tance; of Elsie Robson the other clay,"
He was: silent for a moment, from,
surprise ,
ell?fi he then said, aid the ring
in his toile was unmilitalcably` de -
"She is very nice -looking, I• think.
And do you know, Duncan, I believe
she is very fond of ,you , ",
It was not quite' An easy thing`to
say,: and Fenella flushed rather hotly
as she said it. 'If it had not been for
her promise • it is doubtful whether
she would have said it at all; for the
inspection of Elsie Robson—and she
had taken'a good look at her—had en-
gendered the conviction' that she was
not really good enough for Duncan.
"It's father who has put you up to
this," said Duncan vehemently. "But
I did not expect to get this' frons you
—no, I did not!"
He looked so strangely agitated,
even so deeply wounded, that Fenella,;
in a sort of fright, began to apologise.
"But, Duncan I did not mean any
harm. I only fancied that—'+
But he had already recovered him-
self.

SMASHING A SUBMARINE.
Newest Contrivance is a Bontb At-
tached to a I+float.
The newest contrivance for smash-
ing a submarine is a bomb loaded with
a huge charge of "T.N.T." and hang-
ing from'e. float.
Suppose thee"sub" to be located'
while travelling..under, water, by ob=
servation from: an airplane or balloon.
Seen from aloft it is a moving shadow
resembling a :gigantic fish:
Under such circumstances, of
course,' it is, blind. It does' not know
that danger threatens. But meanwhile
the patrol boats gather and prepare
to do some fishing, '.
The U-boat, under water, cannot
travel faster than twelve :;files an
hour at the utmost. Very likely it is
going at a much slower rate. To drop
a bomb in front of Cit is an easy mat
,ter.
The bomb is attached to a float by a
wire of any desired length, say fifty
feet, if that be the supposed depth tit
which the "sub" is moving. When it
has sunk that far the resistance of
the float yanks a plug out of it; there-.
ey causing it to explode. i
This idea was originated` by Sperry,
he American inventor of the gyro
cope stabilizer. It is thought to have
important advantages over the method
hitherto used, ` whereby bombs equip-
ped with delay -action fuses were drop-
ped in front of the sebmarine.
Bombs of the latter kind are liable
to go off toosoon or too late. In
either case the submarine escapes
damage. But the -bomb with a float is
bound to explode at the required
depth, and it will inevitably. - smash
the U-boat if dropped at the proper
moment. ' It does not need to hit the
"sub"; the load of high explosive it
carries is so big that if it bursts any-`
tt, AVMS
where near it will do,the business. Ai
the very least it will fetch the sub.
marine to the surface, to be promptll
dispatched -by gunfire.
