CHAPTER XXVIII---(Cont'd)
It was many months afterwards
that the tramp laid him down for a
sleep on the verge of Loch Grannoch.
It was a little flat place half -way
dewn a steep bank, a sweet spot equal-
ly sheltered from above and from be-
low. Here the broom grew high and
golden, the stone chats cried spinlc-
spink-spink," and the bumblebees
hummed like the home of Fairyland
all day long in that sunny sylvan
solitude.
The sound of voiees awakened the
tramp, and he peeped out with the
caution which soon becomes habitual
to a hunted man. He raw Lilies Mac
Walter, and with her a boy, slim, tall,
and active of body:. The boy was put-
ting on his clothes. A targe yellowish
tulle- was barking on the pebbly
beach, running a litt'e ,vay into the
water, and then squat toi ing out again
apparently in order to entice the boy
back.
The tramp lay down and listens d
with all his ears. Once he would have
scorned to listen. But all such extra,
moralities are conventional and on the
level of napkins for dinner. Once de-
finitely left behind, the need of them
is - no longer felt.
As the tramp Iistened his heart be-
gan to heat fast. His pale face flush-
ed to the brew, and then grew paler
than before. He could scarcely contain
himself. He buried hie face in the
damp sod, and bit on the soft part of
his hand to help him to keep silence.'
At the sound of that excellently low•
voice the universe reeled, swayed, and,
resolved itself into whirling mist. He
saw the thing which aright have been,:
and bit harder to repress a cry. He
saw what he had brought on others,.
and his impulse was to be quiet till
Lilies and the bey had gone away,
and then to fling himself into the deep
peaty waters of Loch Grannoch.
At last the boy, completely dressed
by his mother's iingerirg hands, took
his way to the baokside, and made all
haste in the direction of Whinnylig
gate scheol. Lilies, the woman, was
left alone. The "tramp gripped him-
self tighter and crouched fewer in the
broom. He meant never to let her
know of his presence. But, as the
Galloway folk say, "it hadna been to
be"
Lilies Mac Waiter rose to her feet
and shaded her eyes with her -hand, in
order to watch her lad as he stood
waving his hand cheerfully to his
mother before vanishing from her
eight.
With a .udders instinct of her lost
youth she bent down to pull a sprig
of the yeilow broom. It had always
been a favorite of hers. As she stoop-
ed she saw the tramp. Instinctively
she caught her hand to her heart, but
this time she was not afraid. She
looked about; the green lakeside strip,
the scanty pasture fields, the heathery
knowes were 'all void and empty save
for a scattered score of nibbling sheep
and one or two gratin;; cattle.
"Christopher," she said, softly,
scarce knowing even that she spoke.
The man did not move, belt lay with
his fare concealed. She went timidly
and laid her fingers o.'+ . s. hip

more softly.
The man in the suit of grey rose
slowly to his feet and stood before
her,

began, with swift breathless apology.

No," she said, cahnly: "you do not

"I am glad," said the tramp. "Do
rent think worse of me than you can

"1 will try," said Lilies, wearily,or
an if she had thought me than
enough already upon the subject '"It
does not matter," she added, as the
hopeleseness of their lives hemmed her
in.
But a fresh thought struck Lilies
and made her flush crimson. It wee
not fear of her husband, for that day
he had gone to market with Wandato
the factor and would nut be back till
evening.
"Did you see any one here with
me?" she asked the tramp, keeping
her eyes upon his face.
' No one," he assured her steadily.
"I was sound asleep."
"Nor hear anything,:"
"I heard the unties singing when
I fell asleep, and I heard you calling
me by name when I awoke!"
"Nothing more?" -
"Nothing more!"
Lilies drew a long breath and tcok
her gaze from his face. She was won -
teeing how he came to marry Vary
For years he had thought this -we -
man dead. A man, he knew not his
name, had told him on his first visit'
to Sandhaven after his flight _that!
Lilies Armour was dead! Dead—yese
he thought it likely enough. He .left;
little Lilies, whom he had made hist
wife, without° a word. He had not'
meant to go without telling her. Butt
the crisis had come upon him quickly..
And Nick French said that they must
both leave Cairn Edward that night, i
So he fled, meaning, with that easy
shifting of responsibility which breaks
more hearts than plain wickedness, to
come back soon.
After he heard that Lilies was dead
all things grew mixed. Nothing mat-
tered, and the succeeding years
brought him lower—lower—lower!
Then all suddenly, like one awaken-
ing with a start from a hideous night-
mare, he had found himself on his
elbow above the old quarry,,with an-
other Lilies, one older and more
weary, looking down upon. him.
After the prison hehad wished to
die. In the poorhouse hospital he
had almost resolved- with a leap to
end all. But not in Galloway. He
would go to some great city in which

where they would take a dead waif to
