woman roughly. "" If you aro civil 'will be
civil, anti it will be for your good. If you
are not it will be bad for you. I will give
you a lesson."
She holds me down with one arm and
hand ; her muscles are like steel ; I cannot
raise myself an iucle I make but one effort;
then I submit, and seeing that I am lying
still she removes her hand, saying,
"'" Some questions I will answer; some
I will not. It is for you, to make me a
friend or an enemy."
" ("Yon shall be my friend."
"' "It is good. Say what I can do for

"""There is a little desk somewhere."
" ""Your desk. Yes, it is here."
"'"Bring it to me."
"'She brings it to the bed, and assistsme
to rise, putting pillows at my back. Then
she brings me my clothes. and, although I
am very weak, I find the key of the desk in
a pocket, and open it, the woman watching
me. A purse is ut the desk, with money in
it.
"" How much will a wedding ring cost?"
I ask.
11 "'A wedding ring 1" she cries, raising
her hands and laughing. "' But what for ?
It makes no difference !"
t' "` We are friends," I say. " Measure
my finger, and tell me how much a ring
will cost."
" "' Perhaps forty francs," she says,
humouring mc.
"" Here are two English sovereigns. Go
out and buy me one."
" ' She laughs more heartily than before,
takes the money, and leaves the room. My
purse contains six sovereigns and some sil-
ver, so I have four pieces of gold left. I
have more than that. In a secret drawer
in the desk there are two five pound notes
and ten more sovereigns in gold. I take
this money from the drawer and secrete it
under my bed. The purse I leave as it is,
as the woman saw it, with the four sover-
eigns and the silver in it. She can steal that
if she is so inclined.
" ' What is it that attracts me on a chest
of drawers near my bed ? I look at it, I
turn my eyes away, I look at it again. Very
very slowly, because of my weak state, I
crawl from the bed, and fill a glass from the
bottle and drink it off. It warms, ,it cheers
it exhilarates me, 1 fill another 'glass, and
drink it off. No more ;1 must be cunning,

zinging, my enrBetchetlneen lightened, and
presently, the woman retlreen, s kitmming the
refrain in of a popUlar song.
"' 1 hales it, my bah ;" she sings, " the
magic ring, whtph some wear who should

The Farm Labourer in the Lothians.
In Scotland the lifting ploughs go tearing
up the long, clean, weedless drills, scatter-
ing right and left the luscious ]Healy roots
that have perhaps been already purchased
for the most famous restaurants. Behind
follow the gatherers, a gang of lusty girls,
many of them from the Western islands, vast
of limn, scanty of skirt, and with cheeks as
red as the tiled roofs of the "bothies” they
are housed in. Behind them again marches
the grieve," on most farms a functionary in
chief command, on a great farm, however,
only lieutenant to the steward =din charge
of thisbig gang, twentyin number, perhaps,
of female hands. Tey were a striking
feature in the rural economy of the Lothians.
Exotics from the Hebrides most of them,
and a queer contrast with their shrill cackle
to the stolid, serious Lowlandlabourer, who,.
as likely as not, had a brother a member
of the Canadian House of Commons, ora son
of a doctoriifinedicine in Aberdeenshire. B.e
himself was Only earning, potato allowance,
cow -feed, and coal included, 13s. or 14s. a
week ; but he would have been very much
surprised if, in the fullness of your heart,
or for some trifling service rendered, you
had offered him a shilling. Nor, I think,
would you have, in those days at any rate,
repeated the experiment. On the other
hand, he knew nothing d what you call the
manners (or obsequiousness if you please) of
his Southern brother. As to touching his
,flat to his superiors, or even calling them
p
' never have dreamed of it.
151x,• he would
Anel if he did not sometimes address his
masterby his.C.hritftian name, the latter
may have considered himself lucky. Now
his master, be it remembered, was a gentle-
man wbq t a btougham and acoachman. 4
