BY S. R. CROCKETT,
ess
CITA.i'TER I. (Cont'd.)
"Why, a man must live," Christo-
pher said at last, with a short laugh;
"1 have been used to company, and if
I did not sometimes go among men
who are not afraid to be men, I should
mould and dry -rot both at once in this
place. It is all that keeps one alive
in such a dull dog's hole as Cairn
Edward."
The blue eyes were still upon him
with a yearning in them that made
even the selfishness of Christopher
Kennedy wince.
""Ana what of me?" she said, soft as
a breathing, yet with an accent that
pierced to the dividing asunder of
soul and marrow.
"Lilies, Lilies," he cried, in genuine
pain, "I love you, I tell you so. That
rights all. What difference does it
make what people may say? What do
a parcel of farmer folk and villagers
matter to us? You know what your
Bible says, something about `for this
cause shall a man leave father and
mother and shall cleave unto his"
wife "
She kept her eyes fixedly upon him,
and their regard was deep and steady
as the sea when it is stillest.
"His wife!" She breathed the two
words again, and the wind among the
waterside willow trees was not softer,
nor the dying soul's parting cry more
tragic.
"His wife!"
The young man nerved himself, and
dashed in the rapid voice of one who
fears interruption, into an obviously
premeditated speech.
"Listen, Lilies," he said, "I have
told you why I cannot marry you
openly, though God knows I would be
glad and proud to do it to -morrow.
My father put me through college,
and I promised to repay him before I
married. He is poor and needs the
money. Besides, st would ruin me in
Cairn Edward if such a thing were
known. and I have good hopes of the
headmastership. Then again your
father thinks me godless and debauch-
ed. He told me so openly, upon the
Plainstones of Dumfries when I met
him there three months ago. He for-
bade me ever again to enter his door.
He forbade me to meet you. He would
never consent. But happily we live in
a land where marriage is easy. Lilies,
l
l "she is clever and secret. Besides, be -1
ing with you in the house she could1
help:: us more than any one else 1" `
"'I do not Iike her 1" persisted the
girl.
"Well, think it over: Imust" go at;
once or I shall -be late; I am late as
it is. Think it well over. I will see
you again on Saturday. Be ready to %�.
will you marry me privately? I know
it is against your kirk rules, but it is
according to the law of the land, and
to the full as binding as if twenty
ministers were present."
He paused a little breathlessly him-
self
im
self and looked down upon her, smil-
ing an anxious, forced smile.
The girl drew herself back a little
way from him, and reaching up her
hands she kept his handsome head,
with its high forehead and weak ir-
resolute mouth, at a distance, so that
she might look into his eyes.
"You have left me no choice, Chris,"
she said, still looking steadily into his
soul; "you have made me love you so
terribly. I must marry you when you
bid me."
"Ah, that is right," the young man
cried, cheerfully, stooping to kiss her,
"that is all right. Now smile and pmt
your sadness away! A bride does not
look like that."
But she held him still at a distance,
and her gaze did not falter. She was
a child even at two -and -twenty, this
Lilies, though she had long been
climbing on the perilous ridges which
`to such. a temperament as hers form
the watershed of life and death.
"Tell me what it is that you pro-
, pose I" she said. "No—do not touch
me—yet! I want to understand."
"I have but short time, little one,"
he made answer, "and I have not yet
thought it fully out, But if you bring
a friend with you I will bring another
—friends whom we can trust, I mean,
and we will make the declaration that
we are man and wife before witnesses.
I, on my part, will bring Alister
French the lawyer with me, and he
will see that all is right and draw up
the papers. Whom will you bring?"
i ` 1 do not know; I have had no one
to trust, to speak to, except you! I do
not want any other," she answered
him, the firmness of her gaze waver-
ing under his burning glances. She
felt the weakness inherent to all lov-
ing women coming over her.
"Another we must have. Would not
Bell Kirkpatrick serve?" he suggested
with a quick downward glance at her
face, to see how she took the sugges-
tion.
"I do not like Bell. I could not trust
her!" said Lilies Armour uncertainly.
"And pray why not?" he urged;

tell me then what you will do. And
ohl Look here, Bell is willing to help.
In fact, I have spoken to her my-
self—"
There cense a quick, leaping terror
into the girl's face. She' caught the
classical master by the arm.
"Chris," she whispered, "what
have you told her—what does she
know?"
He smiled and patted her fondly on
the shoulder.
"Silly one, only what I would that
all the world knew," he said, "that T
love you and would like to marry
you!"
She was silent, but she sighed the
long, weariful sigh of hope deferred.
"Good-bye," he said, and bending a
long moment to her, he was gone.
At the top of the moor, before he.
plunged down the long, rough, heath-
ery steep, he turned and waved a
white handkerchief. Lilies Armour
stood where he had left her. She did
not wave a response, but kept her
hands clasped before her, looking
steadfastly after her' lover.
As he ran down the slope he pulled
out his watch.
"An hour and ten minutes," he said;
"I can do it; I shall have time to see
French and look in at the Gross Keys
as well. This sort of thing takes it
deucedly out of" a fellow -whose busi-
ness it is to explain the accusative and
infinitive all day long."
An hour later Lilies. Armour sat in
her appointed place. at the douce and
sober morning worship of a Cameron
ian' home. As was the daughter's
duty, she had brought down thegreat'
Bible, covered with worn calf skin
with the hair outside, and laid it be-
fore her father at the head of the
table. Before doing so, she had taken
away the breakfast dishes and re -
spread the board with a white cloth
like that which is laid upon a com-
munion table, for the more fit offering
up of the morning sacrifice:
Her mother, bustling, masterful,
loquacious housewife that she was,
had been so long among the poultry
in the yard that the Elder was com-
pelled to sit full five minutes silent
among the family, with the Bible open
before him, ere he could give out the
psalm to be sung. Then his wife,
flustered to find them all silent and
waiting, sat down and endeavored to
smooth her hair with one hand, while
she found the place with the other,
naturally enough failing in both. But
there were tears in the eyes of one
within the wide sunny house -place of
Dornal as they sang to the wistful
rise and fall of the Elder's favorite
Coleshill the final verse of the open-
ing song of praise:
I, like a lost sheep, went astray:
Thy servants seek and find:
For thy commands I suffered not
To. slip out of my mind.
CHAPTER U.
TEE MARRIAGE LINES.
"Bitter are the rigors of righteous-
ness, and by them the merciful are
shamed and sinners confirmed in their
evil way."
This may not be a textout of the
written Word, nevertheless it em-
balms somewhat of the spirit of the
Great Forgiver of sins.
It was the morn of the Sabbath
some months after the early meeting
between the classical master and
Lilies Armour. The solemn Taking of
the Book was over in the farmhouse
of Dornal, but Matthew Armour, Rul-
ing Elder in the Cameronian Kirk,
still, sat with the Bible open before
him. His face, with its shock of sil-
vering hair sweeping back from the
noble cliff -like brow, was sober with
more than Roman gravity. His wife
gathered together the folded white
handkerchief, the spectaeles and' the
psalm -book which were her indispen-
sables at any function of a religious
character. She had learned by the
experience of half a lifetime, added to
her original store of woman's instinct,
when it "wasna chancy" at such times
to stand long in the way of her hus-
band. %TowW:'in that hush of Sabbath
silence vOhich she knew so well, she
was especially eager to be gone.
But even in the doorway the voice
of the Elder arrested her.
"Margaret Armour, bid our daugh-
ter Lilies come hither to mel" he said.
"Hoot, Matthew," urged his wife,
"be canny. I ken the young man is
no great professor, and his ways are
no oar ain homely ways—but dinna
fret the young lass. The lad is weal -
to -do, and of a decent fancily enough,
though they say an Episcopalian."
"Silence, woman, do as 1: bid you
instantly," commanded the Ruling E1=
der; "It is with my daughter and
yours that I desire to speak!"
"Mathy—Mathy, mind that we are
a' sinners," the mother pleaded, "mind
that ye were yince youngyoursel'."
"And if so, think you not that 1
have suffered in the flesh for the deeds'
of the flesh. Think you that .I do not
wet my pillow many a night for the
sins of my youth.' And if my children
must suffer,, it shall not be because
no warning word has been spoken, or
no strong hand outstretched to de-
liver. Send in the lass!"
With a little helpless appeal of the
hands and a sidelong sway of the head.
in acknowledgment of the fact that of
course her word went for nothing,
Margaret Armour took herself off to
do as she was bid She found Lilies
standingwith a book in her hand
under the great, beech tree by the
house gable. But she was not reading:
iHer eyes, large and vague, their some-
time bright bluedimmed with sadness
and tears unshed, were fried an the
distant hills at the foot of which lay;

FOR A CHANGE, TRY PRUNES.
Stewed prunes are wholesome and
can be delicious, if properly cooked.
Buy as good a quality of prunes as
your purse affords, remembering that
there are as many pits as prunes to
the pound, therefore very small
prunes do not pay. A prune boiled is
a prune spoiled. To cook, wash very
carefully, then put to soak over night.
.next morning, drain, put the water in
which the prunes were soaked, on to
boil, and boil until reduced one-half.
Add the prunes and allow them to
come to a boil, 'then remove from the
fire. Cooked thus, they require no
sugar.
Prune Souffle requires one-half
pound prunes, one teaspoonful extract
of vanilla, whites of three eggs and
one-half cupful of sugar.
Wash prunes, cover with water and
allow to soak for two hours. Then in
the same water cook slowly (in a
covered vessel) until tender. Drain
and cool, remove pits and rub prunes
through a colander. Beat egg whites
to a stiff froth, add sugar and vanilla
to prunes, then fold gently into whites
of eggs. Pour lightly into a well-
buttered glass baking dish and bake
in a moderate oven for 20 to 25 min-
utes. (Vanilla can be omitted and a
few finely chopped prune kernels sub-
stituted for the flavoring if desired.) •
