CHAPTER II.
A few months later Mary Cameron's
voice, as she sang lullabys to her 'baby,
mingled with the forest murmur and
the sounds that came from the clear-
ing --the lowing of the cow, the cluck-
ing and cackle of fowl's, the clang of
Donald's axe as he ring -barked trees
near the house.
A one -roomed hut, built' of long,
g
rou h -:barked saplings, rangd one
above the other, and thatched with
coarse reddish brown bark, Iaid on in
slabs, it stood on the brow of the hill
not fax from the wagon's first resting
place. Its two doors, set opposite each
other, opened, one towards the 'back
hills and the other towards thecreek
and the cleared land on which a stub- co
ble of stumps still stood. The walls
of the hut, inside, were plastered with
the clayey hill soil which Mary had
rammed into crevices between the sap-
lings when daylight had at first show-
ed. in thin shining; streaks, and the
mountain breezes had 'crept chilly
through them in the early mornings.
She had made the floor of beaten clay,
too, and had. gathered r from the creek

worked. All her joy and tenderness and tigkedthe grey pelts against the
were centred in him now.
Donald did not understand, the, love
songs she sang to little Davey. They
were always in her own Welsh tongue.
`;„ft's queer talk to make to a'rb•airn,"
he said one day, smiling grimly, as he
listened to her.
"He understands it, I'm sure," she
said, sinning- too.
Cameron sang himself sometimes
when lee was at the far end of the
clearing. It was always the same
thing the gathering song of the Clan
of Donald the Black. While he was•
plowing one morning, Mary first heard
him singing -
Pibroch o' Donuil Dhu,
Pibroeh o' Donuil,
Wake thy wildvoice anew,
Summon Olan conuil.
The words of the grand old slogan
echoed among the hills.
When next she heard it, Mary lifted
Davey out of his cradle and ran to
the door with him, crying happily:
"Listen, now, -,Davey dear, to thy
father singing!" -
Caineron had interrupted himself to
call to the mare as she turned a fur-
row: "Whoa, Lass! Whoa now!"
He had gone on with his song as he
bent the share to the slope of the hill
again.
A hidden root checked his progress;
but when he had got it out of the
way, and the plow: settled • again, he
swung down hill, giving his voice to
the wind heartily:
Leave untended the herd,
The flock without shelter;
Leave the corpse uninterred,
The bride at the altar.
Leave the deer, leave the steer,
Leave nets and 'barges;
Come in your fighting gear,
Broad swords and t-a-r-ges.
His voice had not mueh music; but
Mary 'loved the way he sang, with the
fierceness and burr, the rumble an the
last word, of a chieftain calling ` his.
risen to. battle. It was almost as if he
were calling his tribesmen to help him

was under the window, and a bed, on
a wooden foundation strapped with
green -hide, stood against the back
wall. A few pieces of delf and white
crockery glimmered on a shelf near
the open fireplace, and below them, on
another shelf, were stofie jars and
two or three pots and pans.
Donald's harness, saddle, stirrup -
leathers and stock -whip hung on pegs
near the back door. Among the bales

house and had forgotten himself in
his work, that he gave expression to

wife out of doers. He showed her how
to use it and made her take aim at
•a tall tree .at the end of the clearing,
"You must have no fires or light in

"and let the grub fires in the stumps

"Yes, of course," she answered.
"And I'll leave you the dog," he
went on. "He's a goad watch and'll
give warning of there's any danger
about:"
"Yes," she said:
When the morning came she went to
the track in the wagon with him, car-
rying Davey. She •.got down when they,
reached the track; he kissed her and
