During the past two years many kind eyes had been turned towards the house of Stair, and the lone wo- man -creature who had fought her brave battle there, and people had not been slow to say that, had Judith been the heir, things might have improved with .the Rankines. "But you got on quite well in India, Alan? Peter never made any com- plaint." "And that was monstrous kind of old Peter," retorted Alan, with a sort of whimsical dryness which had hu- mor but no bitterness in it. "I know quite well what Peter's opinion of me is, my dear. He has never hidden it" "He has been very kind to me all this while, Alan—coming as often as he could, and sending all sorts of deli- cacies which father couldn't eat. And it was he who sent the cable to you at his own expense. We musn't for- get that!" Did he really? It's the first time we've ever got something for nothing from Peter," said Alan, with another touch of his genial cynicism. "We're getting on in years, Judy—both Peter and I. Have you remembered that we'll be thirty-two next week?" "Father remembered, Alan. He said you were born before he was that age, and he wondered where the next heir was to come from." Alan Rankine shrugged his shoul- ders and smiled a slightly rueful smile. Faith, and that would be a hard question to answer! Do you notice the grey in my hair, Judy?" "Yes, I've noticed it, but I like it well. It makes you look ever so much nicer;" Judy made haste to say. "As for Peter—he is like me—he grows plainer every day." "Don't miscall yourself, Judy, nor put yourself in the same boat with Peter! In spite of his extravagance about the cable, there isn't room in that private, particular boat for any- body but yourself." There was affection, pride, appre- ciation in the tone which warmed Judy's heart, and caused delicious tears to spring to her eyes. In spite of all her capability, Judy was a very woman, who found it sweet to lean where there was sufficient prop. "I'm afraid we shall' have to get to business, now," said Alan, just as Judy was about to speak again. At the salve time he rose and pushed back his chair. "Is there anything in the stable that will carry me to Ayr?" "Not on its back, Pm afraid. There is only the. cob. ' But it is a good cob in the cart, Alan, and Bob Figgie is a good lad." "Right. Then I'll get a change of raiment and go down. And, I think I'd better go as far as Glasgow while I'm at it, and hear what the lawyers are saying about things. I suppose old Richardson is still to be found in Bath Street?" Judy nodded and, before he left the room, detained him a moment. "Alan, you can't have got the letter before you left, telling about Peter's engagement?" "Engagement to what?" "To marry. He has been engaged since the middle. of February to Miss Carlyon, and they are going to be married at Easter." Alan Rankine looked the picture of surprise_ "Peter Garvock engaged? Judy,. you're getting at me!" Judy laughed. "I am net. It is perfectly true. But I don't wonder you are surprised. Everybody was, and it all happened like a whirlwind—don't you know?— betore we had time to realize that they even knew each other." "Who is the woman? Nobody in this quarter, surely, with Beth a name?" "They live in Ayr—in the old Clock House. Don't you remember my writ- ing and tell you about two years ago that an old Cambridge Professor had taken the Clock House?" • "I must have heard it, I suppose. And it is his daughter—what hot" The words ended in a long, low whistle of amazement. "What sort is she? A blue-stock- strraight hair aa sweet nd a pair wnham of bluff with straight who will correct Peter's cla� es —though he rather fancies himself in them!" Judy laughed again. "I think I'll ask you to wait till you see her, Alan. I can't describe her, really.

Father was so much better then, I helped to organize. !truss Carlyon tools the leading part, and: created quite a sensation: Her mother' was on the stage once, long ago, and I suppose. she ;,has inherited tk. gift." "Peter and the stage! Ctluesr alli- ance! What do y:u think ,of her,. Judy?u "I ?lice her But I don't want to say anything much till ,you have seen her, Alan. It is better that you shank' be. unprejudiced." 'VS hat does Aunt Isatel' esv to'' NS?" "Not much. She has behaved telt' well, l consider, for; of soure:, the Carlyons are hardly received--don'tj you know?—and Aunt Isabel is fairly! proud. But Peter is happy, Alan,: there is no doubt about that, and it is going to do him geed in every direc- tion. It's bringing out the human side of him." "Well, well, news indeed!" murmur= ed Rankine, as lie went off to get ready for the busy day in front. He had got plenty to occupy his thoughts., In spite of the sad circumstances he found himself extraordinarily glad to be in the house of his fathers. When he descended to the hall 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?" He shook his head decisively. "I am not, my dear. •I'm stopping at Stair, to sink or swim with it. If we pull together—you and I, Judy— I think we'll swim. But we'll have a good pow wow over it when I get back." She stood a moment on the terrace to watch him drive away, a gallant figure on the driving-seat—ane born to be a leader, she owned, proudly. No seat of commerce for a Rankine of Stair! It might do for lesser folks --for those who had; less kinship with, the open, and who prized money and the thins which money could buy. As this thought --a very unusual one for a person so modest and humble —passed through Judith Rankine's mind, her eyes seemed to turn natur- ally towards the lowest spur of Bar assie Hill, 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 them, sufficient to make the young people adopt themselves ae cousins. They had all been brought up together, in a sense, and Isabel Garvock had help- ed to mother the motherless brood at Stair until Judy was 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 not 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 hes! fore him. Bit by bit, the borders of The Lees had been widened, every lit- tle bit of land to eastward' snapped up as soon as money could buy it, and, once merely an off -shoot of Stair—a gift, indeed, offered by the lordly Ran- kine of a bygone day 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 laciced 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 quicicly 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, 8.' Hume, 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 at last. "Yes, I'm here," Alan answered. They shoolc 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 had to lunch with a -man at St. Enoch's. We'll just 'go there. I can put him off. My business isn't im- portant. I'm sorry, Alan. I'd have cabled sooner, but they wouldn't let me." Peter Garvock's voice,' usually of a raucousquality, was .softened into a kindiinees and' sympathy which sur- prised nobody more than his cousin 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 him because of having suggested to him "Wha deur meddle me" as a suitable family motto' for The Lees!

It was rather warm in the garden, but Alicia was so intent on her work that she did not mind the heat. "Mother wants me to weed the rose bed," she was thinking. "If I work fast, I shall have time to do a Little bit more." She looked over her shoul- der at the bed of hardy annuals where the weeds were beginning to show. So she dug. and clipped 'and pulled, and when at last she rose from her stooped position not a weed was to be seen. She looked at the clock on the courthouse across the square. Luncheon would be ready by twelve. It lacked thirty-five minutes of that. time. Picking up her shears and basket and spade, she moved to the flower bed on the right and worked so fast that when every weed had been pulled and she again glanced at the clack she saw that it still lacked ten minutes of the luncheon hour. "I shall have time to do a little hit more," she said out loud. "But there are no weeds left, and what shall I do next? Oh, I know," remembering a remark she had heard her mother make the day before. "The honey- suckle near the back porch needs to have some of its creepers tied up."

Running limo the kitchen, she took the twine -bag from its nail on the cupboard door and was off again. She had fastened up the last straying vine. when her mother's voice called her to luncheon. "Yes;" she said as she fanned her- self with the bash of a convenient magazine while waiting to be served, "I weeded the rose bed, and then I had 'time to do a little bit more, so I weeded tho hardy annuals bed; and then I had time to do a little bit more; so I fastened up that honeysuckle for you.

She looked to see whether her moth- er was laughing and felt relieved' when she saw no trace of,a smile on the pleasant face. "lily, but you make the best omelet, mother!

"It does fit me," said Alicia, laugh- ing as she thought of the "little bit more" of everything she had had to eat, "It certainly does," replied her mother, thinking of the weeds in the garden and the vagrant honeysuckle vine. "i' wish every mother had a little -bit -more girl like you." "It would keep her mighty busy cooking," said Alicia. HIGH CHAIRS.

This day we werP tossing a merry ball of argument on rremier MacDonal'd's treaty with the Soviets and just as he had de- livered a sparkling negative to one of • my weals -positives a' man passing us gave a terrific sneeze. "Let's dodge his shrapnel," said the lector—who had been in the War— es he hurried his pace. 'Doctor, you have me cold;' 'said in the language of the day. "What did you mean by that?" "IIow old, are you?" he said. "Forty something — that's near enough, isn't it?" ' "Then you're old enough to know that there's a danger zone in front of everyperson who sneezes," he said, and as he said it I noticed that he had his 'office face on. I -Ie looked rather serious. "Danger zonal" "Yes, Clanger zone. For a sneeze Is more than sound and alr. If It were not It wouldn't matter: But every part of the air that is discharged ie a sneeze Is likely to carry the germs of the infection which made the sneezer sneeze." There was the flicker of a smile on my dear old friend's face as he' vi- brated out; with a suspicicon of sell' satisfaction, the rhythm of the last few words. But his features quicklly set themselves back to their profes- 1 sional lines as he went on: "Yes, in that gust of air which spread out like a cone In front of that man you might find the staphococcus, the pneumococcus, the streptococcus haemolyticus, the , (I couldn't register the others quickly enough) _ some of which could be very capable of causing a cold in another person who breathed them in." "That sounds very fine," I said. "How do you know :it?" "It is proved beyond doubt," he re- plied, 'Every student of this subjeot at the univemltytries it out. All you have to do is to catch a person with a'cold—and they're not hard to catch for the cold takes ail the ginger out of then!—and then lot him sneeze on a plate or agar jelly. You may hold the plate one, two, three, five, even ten or more Leet away from' the sneezer. Then you put the plate of jelly in an Incubator overnight at body tempera- ture. When you take It out you will find it speckled all over with little colonies of bacteria and some of them will be of the kinds that cause colds. If some person In a• low state of vi- tality, tired, wet, hungry., worried, just recovering from an ailment, were to breathe some of them into his sys- tem he too would be sneezing in a few days." I didn't Interrupt. The doctor was on his job handing out to me for noth- ing precious knowledge for which he had paid much in time effort, money and experience. "I have no doubt that that man who sneezed is a good fellow, good sport perhaps," the doctor went on. "Most likely he would feel terribly bad if he learned suddenly that he had passed on a bad cold to somebody and that that person had lost time, money, wages, and that his family had suffer- ed in consequence. But he was ignor- ant of what everybody should know. Whenever a person with a coldis near other persons he should do all possible toprotectthem from his sneezes. In the words of the day 'It's up to him.' The onus of dodging should not: be,, placed on the other person and, be- sid'es, it is often impossible, for who' can tell when the person next to him is going to sneeze?" The doctor looked across the street' and saw a little child' waving and smiling at him. As he waved, back, his sober professional face burst Into a broad, boyish smile. Then he turned to me and asked if I had seen the sailors lift that one -ton gun over the five-foot barrier at the exhibition. In a monuent•after'he'was away to a good start about guns and ships and, his irlsit to the Grand Fleet when he was on leave during the war, And I couldn't get him to say -another word about germs, colas or sneezes. :- • .
