CHAPTER XXIX.
CHANGES.
Peter Garvock, on a Sunday after-
noon, pat his hand on. the 'wicket gate
on the far side of The Lees shrub-
bery, and passed on to the lower slopes
a Barassie
It was a day of April's most ex-
quisite mood. A. sunny sea lay, blue
and ambient, under the dappled sky,
the air was full of the soft, indescrib-
able beneficence of spring, birds sang
and twittered on every bough, and.
the far cry of the lanabs seemed to
• voice at once the need. of childhood
and the anewering call of motherhood.
throughout the world.
These two years had aged Peter
Garvock so that his face looked harsh-
er than ever, and the grey was about
his temples.
There is no process by which a man
ages quicker than. by mental travail;
of which Peter had had his fill.
No man or woman (since he shut
his inmost heart- from those in the
house with him) knew what these twe
years had held for him. In the silent
night watches, when he did not sleep,
he was haunted by the vision of a
naked and devastated Stair, from
which his kindred had been swept
clean, like the chaff before the wind.
Little or no news of the Ranldnes
had filtered through to Ayr, and none
at auto Peter Garvock, though he was
aware that Alan was believed to have
died in Canada, nothing having been
heard of him since he left Scotland.
jest that morning he had heard
from one of his own stable hands that
the tenants had left Stair, and that
• it was now unoccupied. But nobody
seemed to know what was going to
happen next.
Such an unrest and longing had
• been upon him all the morning that,
though he had tried to fight against
it, it had conquered him; and he was
now on his way to Stair to see with
his own eyes and hear with his own
ears concerning the further fortunes
of the desolated house.
As he vaulted the march dyke, re-
membering, with the poignancy of
anguish, what had transpired there
on another Sunday afternoon not so
very far away but that he could re-
call its minutest detail, a figure sud-
denly came round the spur of the hill,
with skirts blowing in the playful
April win cl coming in frem the sea,
and Peter, to his unspeakable amaze-
ment, beheld the face of his cousin
Judy.
For the moment the man was at a
loss, and would have fled, but Judy
came forward, lei:oiling in a quite
friendly manner, holding out her
hand. .
"I'm not going to eat you, Peter
Garvock; and I was on nay way to
The Lees to see whether Ramsay's
mandate held good yet, and whether
be would show me the door!"
Peter Garvock essayed to speak,
but his tongue seemed to cleave to
the roof of his mouth.
Judy had changed, too,. The round-
ness had gone from her brave face, so
that its profile was sharpened; she
was much thinner, but her eyes smil-
ed just as friendly upon him as in The
days when Stair and The Lees had
been on their best terms.

"When—when did you come?" he
stammered. "I only heard to -day
that the house was empty, and I was
on my way to see whether it was
true"
• "You can comerback with rne then.
My sister-in-law only arrived last
night at eight o'clock. But she is very
tired, and I have not allowed her to
get up till tea -time."
'Your •sister-in-law!" repeated
Pete e in the same stupid, stammering'
fashion, "Thgu whore is Alan?"
"Alan? Only God knoirs!" answered
Judy, without a thought of irrever-
ence. 'Let us sit down here and talk
'things over, Peter, for 7 see you are
intereeted, and, after alt I won't go
to The Lees, because now I see you I
knew it was only you I did want to
see. But I hope Aunt Isabel and Lucy
are quite well?"
She spoke these commonplaces to
give him time to recover himself, at
the same time searching about for -a.
comfortable place to sit down on.
Three weeks of drying March wind
had rnade the fields ready for the
sowing, and there was not a marshy
spot left on Barassie Hill.
Judy dropped down on a clump of
heather on which the new shoots
were showing greenly against the grey
of a sheltering boulder, and invited
her cousin to do likewise. But for a
space he did net, but stood still, star-
• ing down at her with the strangest
expression on his face.
• "I can't compliment you, Peter, for
—honest Indian—you are looking
about sixty years old to -day. What-
ever have you been doing to your-
self?"
"Chewing the cud of remorse, Judy.
And it has never been more bitter
than now! What do you mean by
saying that your slater -in-law is at
Stair? I never heard that they were
married! When did it happen? Aied
where?"
"It happened in. London, on the
morning ox the day on which he sail-
ed, and nobody has ever known of it
till now. It might be a very long
story, Peter,' but what's the good?
Alan is lost somewhere, on that dread-
ful Continent which stretches from
sea to sea, and after that, to illimit-
able regions of ice and snow. And
Carlotta and Ihave come back to
Stair."
"For good."
Judy nodded.
"She says so. She has made a great
deal of money, and, of course, as
Alan's wife she has the right to Stair
—at least until it is proved that he
is really dead. Claud and I think he
is dead, of course; but Carlotta says,
and I am sure believes, that he is alive
yet, and that he is coming.,back. She
is rather weird at times about things
like that, Peter, but in all the world
there never has beea a more noble
woman than Carlotta, nor a love like
theirs—or like hers, I should say 1—
for what can -we know of Alan's love
or hate at the Back of Beyond!"
"I have known, of course; that she
has been on the, stage all the time,
end that she has been a tremendous
success. And. ehe went to America
—didn't she?—last year, and' did well
there too."
"Oh, yes. I was with her. Alan
was the object of that trig, Peter, and
we arrived just twenty-four hours too
late! It was the boat's. fault, and we
were delayed by fog an gales. And
there was a horrible blizzard which
froze the decks and made the sea like
an inferno! It seems that Alan had
arranged to go out West to a ranch
in Alberta that very day. By a
strange coincidence, he was in the
theatre on Carlotta's firit night with
'The Searchlight,' and he left imme-
diately both the theatre and the city.
We were able to find the lady hellad
been with at the theatre—a dear, kind
Scotswoman, who was his only friend
in New York. So we had information
about him up to the moment of his I
leaving the city. But he never went
to the Alberta ranch,and nothing has
been heard of him since."
Peter Garvock listened with the
tenee interest. of the mail' to whorn
every word is precious and poignant,
"What was he doing, do you know?" , ,
ea
he asked,. spasmodically. "Had he anyi
success n New York? I've heard t
what a difhdlItt place it is." I
"None," answered Judy. "1 got it h

"It len't eny good. If it is true what
Carlotta says, that these hitngs are
written in the book of Fate, what does
it all matter?" '
"Ther e is no book a Fate in which
it is written that a xnan Shell be a

Judy, was an rio Way amazed at the
cha.nge in Peter Garvock, because am
happening on earth seemed now to
have the pewer to move her muele.
"There isn't any use speaking or
looking like that, Peter," she repeated.
"It won't do good te anybody, and it
hurts you. Won't you come oaer now
and see Carlotta? She will certainly
come down for tea."
But Peter Garvock shook his head.
He was not ready yet to meet the eyes
that had once been his undoing, and
he had not yet recovered from the
shock of hearing that she had been
Alan Rankine's wife all these dreary
months, and was now, perhaps, his
widow.
"I think I'll leave you now Judy.
These Wage want thinking over," he
said, standing almost humbly, and
bareheaded, befoee %her. "We'll meet
again now that yod have •soine back
to Stair." . t
"Oh, don't go yet!" said Jif y eheer-
i
fully. "Let's talk about Othe things.
I'm dying for Ayr news! Tel rne all
about Aunt Isabel and Lucy, wed Meg
Sillars, and the Sanderson. St Edie
has written now and again, butertow
that she is getting into a family; she
seems to have less and less time."
But Peter refused to be begailed.
"I can't get over it," he said, in a
voice of anguish such as Judy had
never before heard from her cousin's
I*
"You can't get oyer what?"
"The fact that you don't bear any
marace, apparently; that • you can
speak to me en the ohn friendly way!
I 'didn't deserve it, Judy. I've be-
haved like a cur—bat don't.think I've
got off scot-free!"
Nobody does," said Judy gravely.
"Nobody in the wide world! The price
has always to be paid. It is only when
it has to be paid over and over that
one inclines to grumble. Oh, I am so
sorry for Carlotta, Peter, and I'd lay
down my life cheerfully, at this very
moment, if by doing it I could bring
Alan back, and see them happy in
Stair together !"
Judy had no intention of reproach-
ing her cousin, but the words went
home.
.She picked herself up a trifle heav-
ily.
"After all, I don't think I'll -go over
to The Lees to -day. Yoif can give
Aunt Isabel and Lucy myelove, and
tell them I'll come and see them soon,
or they can come to Stair if they -like.
They n.ever had any quarrel, either
with Alan or with Cartotta."
She paused, but when Peter had no
comment to make, went on again.
"I suppose you heard about Claud's
wedding? It took place in Northamp-
tonshire last week. That was what
inade us a w -eek later than we intend-
ed in getting here."
"I saw the announceinent of the
marriage, of course, and wondered
what he was marrying on." '
"He has twelve hundred a year frosn
the Dublin appointment," said Judy
proudly. "That is just the beginning
of things for Claud. He's most awfullY
clever, Peter—the pick of the bunch,
as far as brains are concerned; and
he has a way with Cabieet Ministers.
which used to amuse and astonish
me. I got quite a nice little peep into
political- life while was keeping
house for him at Queen Anne's Gate.
Why, didn't you even know that?
What a state of heathen darkness you
seem to be all in! 1 suppose you
know that the girl Claud married
used to live here? Her fathee wan a
miniater in Ayr,"
"Yes, I knew that much," answered
Peter. And Judy- went on to tell him
more 'about Claud, his present, and
his probable future. But pretty soot
she taw that his thoughts were wand-
ering, and, stopping short, she said
the would be going home. .
She felt rather sorry for Peter Gar-
vock on the whele. He had such a for-
lorn -look, and did not seem to have
much in life worth living for. In
Judy's nature there was na guile,. and -
very little malice, and' the,experiefice
of the last two years had given her a
new kind of philosophy.
But it 'was a relief, when she got
back to the precincts of Stair, to see
the squat figure and kind, iamiliar
face of Bobbie Sanderson getting' off
a bicycle at the terrace steps.
She ran 'forward, smiling, and
when. Bobbie got his &eves off, re-
turned his Warm hand -clasp with one
equally warm and kind.
"Pm most awfulfly glad to see you,

BIJILDING A BEE
CITY
ny Oilyee• G. Pike, s.
---,
When a swarm of bees enters the
new }diode that they nave deeided, up-
on for their home, it is just an empty
space. Directly the bees arrive znanyi
thousands of them fix themselves ternosellrl
the roof, clinging an with their trent
lege, Others hook themselves to thee,
and a eolid,bag of insects is formed. e
A ,greqbeat is generated by this mass,
and the result is that ernall flakes et
pure wane wax form on their bodies,
-At die end of twenty -tour hours the
architects of the stew city get to work.
They mount to the top ol the cluster
and begin the foundations, ` for thin
home of wax is built downwards, being
sus.peaded from the reef.
• Measurement Marvels.
If we could watch them, as 1 have
done in a glass hive, we woula see each
la -aster -bee take e small waxen flake
from one grits pockets. This Would

watched long enough, we shoaid see
the centre line of a waxen. well being
formed, and the walls of the eells on
each. aide of it
Other bees would be working at
equal -distances apart on the. roof, and
so wonderful are their measurements
that when. these walls are completed,
each is the same else; the cells in eaeh
ate the seine depth, while between
each wan there will be the same sPace.
A few days later there are many

The bees work as they have never
worked before. Every available hour
of sunshine is taken advantage of,
with the result that hundreds die simp-

work longer. Their wings are worn
through buffeting against the winds,
yet many of these disabled workers
reach their home and deliver their

A Poem You Should Know.
Morning Song.
Thomas Hood was best known in
life by his liveliness. He said: "I have
to be a lively Hood to gain a Siveli-
hohd." But to -day he counts ainong
the Victorian poets, and etch master-
pieces as "The Bridge of Sighs" and
"The Song of the Shirt" give him is -
high place.
0 lady, leave thy silken thread
And, firewery tapestrie--
There's living roses on the bush,
And blossoms on. the tree.
Stoop where thou wilt, thy careless
band
Soine random bud will meet;
Thou owlet not tread but thou wilt find
The daisy at thy Viet.

'Tis like the birthday of the world,
• When earth was bora in bloom;
The light is made ,of many dyes,
The air is all perfume; ,
There's crimson bade, mid wane and
blue—
The very rainbow showers
1 -lave turned to blossonis. waore they
fell,
Arid sown the earth wan flowers.
There's faller tulips, in, the eaet--
The garden of the sun;
'the -very etreenee reileet the huee,
And blossom aa they .run,
While itortt Opes like a erliegen rose
Still Wet with pear l ehowerse
Then,. lady, leave ties eill:en thread ,
