HXe had got plenty to occupy his thoughts, In spite of the sad electunstancee he found himself extraordinarily glad to be in the houee of his fathers. When he descended to the hal to find Judith waiting for him, and the cart at the door, she put rather a wistful ques- tion to him, "I hope you'll have a good interview with Mr. Richardson, Alan, if you should go to Glasgow. But are you going back to India?" Ile shook his head decisively. "I am not, my dear. I'm stopping at Stair, to sink or swim with it, If of the house r Stair; and the one he bac] his chair.

I can't describe her, really. He got to know her just at , —passed through Judith Rankine s mind, her eyes seemed to turn natur- ally towards the lowest spur of Bar- assie I1ill, where the tops of the chim- neys of The Lees could just be seen. The Garvocks and the Rankines had some slight ties of blood between then, sufficient to make the young people adopt themselves as cousins. They had all been broughtup together, in a sense, and Isabel Garvock had help- ed to mother the motherless brood at Stair until Judywas able, at a very youthful age, to take command:' The lands marched, and the march dyke was on that spur of the Hill above which ..the chimneys peeped.. Stair was the finer property natur- ally, but its resources had not been husbanded, consequently it was net in the state of high cultivation and per- fection which prevailed at The Lees, and which was Peter Garvock's pride, as it had been that of his father be- fore him. Bit by bit, the borders of `The Lees had been widened, every Bt- tle bit of land to eastward snapped up as soon as money could buy it, and, once merely an off -shoot of Stair Y a gift, indeed, offered by the lordly Tian- kine of a bygone clay to' a humble rela- tive who had done him a service -it had become one of the most important and desirable places:' in the county. Money had been spent freely on it and while it lacked the whole dignity of Stair, it had that sheltered, cared -for look, that outward air of prosperity which we associate with money wisely spent. It was an ideal home for one of Glasgow's merchant princes, which Peter Garvock undoubtedly was. Alan Rankine's business in Ayr was quickly done, and he caught (the twelve o'clock train for Glasgow. It was not much patronized, and he was rather glad in the circumstances to escape at once the welcome and the condolences of old acquaintances and friends. It was raining when he got out at St. Enoch's, and he buttoned up his shab- by waterproof and set out to walk, with long, swinging strides, to the offices of Messrs. Garvock, Garvock, & Maine, in Jamaica Street. He -would just miss the lawyer at that hour,'he knew, and might as well lunch with Peter, if he could catch him. He did, at the bottom of the ware- house stair, on his way out to lunch. The meeting between the two men was characteristic. They stared at one another for a full minute, then both laughed a trifle nervously. "Well, old chap, so you're here," said Garvock last. "Yes, I'm here," Alan answered. They shook hands and stepped out into the rain. Just outside the door, however, Peter Garvock paused. "You were in time, I hope? Judy told me he was very low yesterday." "No. He died this morning, at half past two," answered Alan. They walked„ on a few steps in ,sil- ence, which Garvock broke. "I bad to lunch with a man at St; Enoch's. We'll just go there. I can part 'him off. My business isn't portant. I'm sorry, Alan. I'd have cabled- sooner, but they wouldn't let me." Peter Garvock's voice, usually of • a raucous quality, was softened into a kindliness and sympathy which sur- prised nobody more than his cousin, 1 for, though they had been fairly good friends the most -of their lives, chiefly because Alan himself was not of a quarrelsome disposition, he had often compared Peter Garvock• to the Scot- tish national 'emblem, and had once fought with.. ]iiia because • of having suggested to him "Wha deur meddle wi' me" as a suitable family motto for The Lees!
