When he entered the house not long after, and found her thus, he was conscience-stricken. "Why, Judy, whatever is the nat- ter?" he asked blankly. "Oh, don't ask me, Alan Rankine!" she cried, looking upwith a sudden gesture of anger. "Do you think you have treated me fairly—exposing me to the treatment I have suffered to- day, and leaving me to learn things. I ought to have known, just froni any- body?" "Let us go into the Pool, and have it out, Judy, my dear. I thought it was the kindest thing I could do to keep quiet till some order emerged from the frightful chaos my life has got into." - "The chaos you have made!" she flashed back as- she went before him along the passage to the old familiar ,loom. It has a western window, through which the setting sun was streaming, and it lay on Judy's face when she turned round to look at him, making it stand out rather thin and wistful in the clear glow. "Oh, Alan, this thing can't be true! - Is it? You haven't stepped in and robbed Peter? You don't mean to say you are going to make her mis- tress of Stair!"

"She has not forgotten, though you have,the trysts you used to make and keep on Bar- assie Hill." Rankine started in painful'surprise^ "Oh, that was only fooling, Judy, and none knew better: than Lucy! I'm perfectly sure she has forgotten all about it. There will be no trouble with the women -folk at The Lees. They won't bear any malice." Judy decided to keep her further counsel concerning Lucy, chiefly be- muse no good could now come of harp- ing on what was, in Alan's eyes, both a futile and an uninteresting theme. "You're wrong, Alan, as it happens. You have alienated a whole- family. Why, even I was refused admittance at The Lees this afternoon—met by Ramsay at the doer with the message..

'to be in the kitchen, it didn't make any difference. Julie, a lovely flushed little figure, received her' guests and exelaimed- happily over the gifts they brought.. It was the custom in the village to bring gifts to a birthday party:Quite naturally she put out her hand for the blue -ribboned box that Vera Stonelow had brought. Vera, however, laughingly held, it behind'her. "It isn't.for you: I knew you'd have a busliei of things, and always think a gir;'s° birthday belongs to her mother anyway. So I brought thisfor her. Where is she?" "Why -in the kitchen," Julie stam- mered. Vera ran back to the kitchen. Julie's mother,' who was cutting cake and frowning .a -little.. because the icing wasn't quite firm, looked up, startled, at Vera's kiss. "I've brought you a birthday gift," Vera' said.

"Then you've gone back on. me, Judy, and won't listen or help!" Judy sat silent a moment, looking intently into the blazing fire. She was thinking, not of her brother at the moment, but of the old man on his death -bed who, clinging to her hand, had begged her to stand by Stair to the last. "A woman has been the salvation of Stair from the beginning, my dear," he had said, inhis slow, diffi- cult voice.
