;CHAPTER XLH.
On the evening of the day on which
Agatha Gemmill had made her por-
tentous discovery about the secret in-
terviews between her sister and Ron-
ald, Mr. 'Gentmill—a little red-headed
man with shrewd blue eyes—came
home n very good spirits.
"Look here, •Aggie—here's an invit-
ation for you." he WaS beginning.
when he saW that SOMel hiiia WaS
e roma-. "What is it now?" he asked.
And then the story was wit] him, and
not without a touch of indignation in
the telling. But NIT. alemmill did not
seem so horror-stricken as his wife
had expected: ;he began to emphasize
the various points; and tuas inclined
to he angry with •him for his coolness,
"Girls often 'have fancies like that --
you know well enough, 'Agatha," he
said. '''All you have to der is 1,, take a
gentle •way with her, and talk com-
mon-sense to her, and it will be
right. If you make a TOW, Y041 will
only drive her intn ohatinacy, She will
listen to reason ; she's not a fool; if
you take a quiet and gentle way rwith
"A quiet and gentle %vas!" hi; wife
exclaimed. "I will take no %%ay uith
her at all not 1! I'm net going to
have any responsibility 01 /he kind.
Back she goes to the Highlands at
once—that's all the way I mean to
take with hen See, there' g letter I've
written to mother."
"Then you nine to make it hash of
this affair amongst you." said he, with
calm resignation, "You wiil merely
drive the girl into a corner; and her
pride will keep her there—"
"Oh yes, men always -think that
women are so easily persuaded," his
wife throke in. 'Perhaps you ‘vould
like to try .argatiag with her yourself?
lint, anyway, .1 wash my hands of the
whole matter. I shall have her packed
off home at once."
"I don't think you will," the 'husb-
and said, 'quietly. 'I was going to tell
you: the Landers are giving a big
dinner party an the 27th—that is a
fortnight hence; and here is an invit-
ation for the three •of us; and 'Frank
Lauder as good as admitted this
morning"that the thing was got ,up
for the very purpose af introducing
Weenie to the old folk. Well, then, I
have already written andaccepted
and 1 will tell you this—ti'm not. go-
ing to offend the old 'gentleman just
because you choose to 'quarrel, with
your sister"
"Quarrel?" she retorted. 4011, yes—
she never tan do any wrong. She has
made a 'fool ,of you with her pretty
eyes—as she does of every mart :that
comes to the house. Why, they're like
a set of great babies when she's in
the room; and you would think from
the Way they go On that she •was the
Queen Of . Sheba, instead of the ill-.
tempered little brat that she is."
But Mrs. 'Genitnill was a se•nsible
woman too.
who is Ronald?" she
She he shut ,up in that fittle hamlet in;
the northern wilds, with absolutely no
means of learning anything about
Ronald, not permitted to anention his
name, cut off from him as though
were in another world? She saw
,tritmith after .morsth go by -405' 'year
after year even—avith no word or
Message coming to keep alive the
fond hope, in her breast..He might
even be dead., without hes- knawing,
And haw all tea short this fortnight
seemed, during which she might still
have some ,chance cif seeing him, and
gaining tfram him some assurance
with regard to a future that baked,
more than ever uncertain add vague! ,
The nut day it 'had been arranged
between them that they were not to
'meet, for he was to- be at hom,e aii
that day and busy; bat her anxiety
was tdo great; She resolved to go to
his lodgings and ask for him. She had
never done that •before, 'but now the
crisis 'was too serious tet let her heed
what any one might say; indeed, she
did not think for a moment about it.
So all the morning she went about the
house, performing such small duties
as had been intrusted to her, and
wondering when the heavy rain would
leave off. At last, about noon, when
the dismal skies gave 00 sign of clear-
ing, she got her ulster and deer -stalk-
er's cape, put on a thick 'pair ,of boats,
t and armed with a stout umbrella, 'went
ant into the black and dripping world.
talo one had attempted to hinder 'her.
tAnsi yet it was With some .curious
wise of shame that she timidly ring
the bell when she reached these ob-
scure lodgings. The door was in a
chaSky entry; the landlady who an-
' swered her summons !did not • notice
• how the girl's 'cheeks were unusually
flushed when she asked if Mr. Ron-
ald Strang were at 'home.
"Yes, he is," the woman said; and
then she 'hesitated, apparently not
quite 'knowing whether she should ask
the young, lady to step within or not.
"Will you tell him that I should
like to .see him 'for a moment—here?"
she said.
,In less, thati a minute tRonald Was
with her; and be .had .brought cap
,his hand. for he had guessed who
tis was, and instinctively he knew that
he could not ask her to come within -
doors. But when she said she had
something to say to 'him, and fumed
to fare the dismal day outside, he
could but glance at the swimming
• pavements and the murky atmosphere.
' "1011 SUCil 0 morning. Meenie—"
"Oh, but I am well wrapped up,"
t she said, quite happily—for tiltt mere
sight cif him had restored her courage
—"pod you shall have the umbrella.
N'es, 1 inskt; take h. Well, then, T ask
yon to take it as a favor, for .1 ant not
giing t„ lutae you get wet 011 n'Y SC-
enunt."
Of emr,e he took the umbrella ••40
hold -over her; and so they went Out
into the Wei Streets.
"T am so glad to ACC you. Ronald,"
she said, looking up with a face that
told its own story of joy and confid-
ence, "Don't blame me, I have been
miserable. I could not help mining to
ask you for a little—a little comfort,
I think, and hope—"
"But what have Yon heell doing to
your eyes, .Meenie, darling? What
kind of a look is that in them?"
'Well,I ried all last night—all the
night through, 1 believe," said Ate.
simply: but nnw there WaS ;Mae
crying in her eyes,. but light and love
and gladness. "And now, the moment
I see von everything seems right:
am no longer afraid; niY heart is quite
light and hopeful again."
and what has tbeen frightening
you, then?"
And then she told all the story,
as they walked along the wet pave-
meit. with the bedraggled •passers -4
lturrying through the rain, and the
tramway cars and ofimibuses and
carts and cabs keeping up their un-
ceasing roar, But ,Agatha's threats
were no longer so ternible to her, now
that she had hold of 'Ronald's arm;
she glanced up at him from time to
time with eyes full of courage and
confidence; a single glimpse crf him
had driven away all these dire spec-
tres and phantoms. Indeed, if the
truth were krinwn, it was he who was
most inclined to take this new& seri-
nasty, though, nf courae, he did not
show that to her. Na; he affected tn
laugh at the idea that they could he
kept from conommicating with each
other. If she were to be sem hack to
Inver-34'4MM, he said, that was only
anticipating what must have happened
in any case; it would, no doubt, be a.
Pity to misa these few stolen minutes
from time to time; but would not that
he merely a spur o further and con-
stant exertion?
-"Ay, lass, said he, if I mild have
any reasonable and fair prospects to

can stop until she his recovered her

• However, this invitation was Ins
an additional .grievance. She went
with it .at once to iMeeniels room.
"Look at •that. Read that."
The girl glanced at the formal note
—with 110,m -eat interest
"Do yelif know what that means
That was meant to introduce you to
Frank Lautder's family and .friends,"
"I do not wish to go," eenie sad
perversely.
"I3ut youll have ta go, for we lia.Ve

forbid you to have any communica-
tion with that Irian, of any kind what-
soever—do you hear?"
She sat silent.
"Do you hear?"
"l'es, I hear," she said.
"Very well."
But it is not very well," the eldei
aister said, angrily. "I want to knom
what you 111Can IA) CIO."
The ansu er was given with perfee
ea n es s.
"I mean to do precisely as I have
been doing. I ant not ashamed ot any-
thing, 1 have done."
-What? Von are not ashamed? Da
yort mean to tell 00. that yon
keep on meeting that man—in the
public streets—making a spectacle of
yonrself in the streets of tilasgow -
and brinaang disgrace on yourself and

'Van are talking like a matINNo-
man," Meenie said, aroullly.
"Von will see M 1 act like
one. 1 say you shall trot be alloaed t,,

der this roof: that I M ill make sure
"Whatili pet 'tla?" the girl said, in
a strangely taunting tone; indeed. one

as NI etmie that M. aS Speaking. -Lock

lous."
"tra, it's 'he' that mnuld come to let
:t•-•0 out?" the elder sister said,
"You've discovered that, have you?
What more, I wonder!"
But here the scene, which threaten-
ed to become more and more stormy,
came to a id 'len end. There was a
sharp call .from below, 'Mr. Gellman
having Anshtless ,,verheard some of
these wild words.
"Agatha, come down stairs at once."
So the girl M as !eft once mare
alone, proud and pale, and trembling
a little, but with her wind more ob-
clurate thau ever. Nor wauld she go
down to supper that eight. Gem -
mill 'went twice to the door of her
room this uife would not budge a
foot) and begged her to come down-
stairs. The first time she said she (lid
not wish for any supper. The second
time she said that if her conduct had
been so disgraceful, she was not It to
associate with his family. And so, :be-
ing by nature a kindly hearted man,
he went away and got some food for
her, and carried the little tray to her
noont with his own hands—a proceed-
ing that only made his wife -the angri-
er. Why should she be spoiled and
-
petted with such foolish indulgence?
Starvation was the best cure for her
pride. Bat of •cotuse he was like the
rest of the men—made slinpletons of
by a pair of girl's gray eyes.
'Alasi all her 'pride and courage
went from her in the long ,clark hours
of the night, and her sister's threats
assumed a more definite and terrihle
meaning. It Was true she had a fort-
night's respite—,clsring that fortnight
she was ber awn mistress, and c.ould
do as she pleased—but after? Would

"I was not thinking of your sister

when ,she sees her own father and

"Then I am not to write to you,
Ronald, if they say no?" she ,asked,
quickly, and with her face grown
anxious again.
Well, it was a ,tliftioult question to
