THE STORY OF A BLOOD FEUD
BY ANNIE S. SWAN,
CHAPTER II.--(Cont'd.)
"And what brought you to Ayr?"''
asked Alan, d
Carlotta shrugged her shoulders,
"What wind blows the straw? My;
father had had a wonderful holiday I
here once, in his old tutoring days,
with two Scottish students whose home
was in this county. It was always the
dream of his like to return permanent-
ly. So, when his Cambridge days
were done, he simply girded up his
loins and came. My mother and I
had no choice."
And you do not feel at home!
here?" [:
She shook her head.
"Dowe look as if we should? My'
mother was an actress. That, in itself
is enough. Not that I mind much,.
and my father minds not at all. In r
fact, he is completely unconscious of
anything amiss, or other than what it;
should be Ayrshire has not disap-I
pointed ham."
"Nor will it disappoint you, surely,
in the long run, since you hace con -1
sentedto make it your future and per-
manent homey
Her face flushed, and she lifted her
eyes to his in a look of odd but quite,
definite appeal.
Rankinerose to his feet, for in that'
moment two thiugs were revealed to
him—that Carlotta Carlyon did not
love Peter-Garvock, and that it was
unwise for him, Alan, to remain long-
er in her presence.
"Are you going already?" she ask-
ed, and there was a trail of disap-
pointment inher voice.

"I must.. I . have been i way from
Stair the greater part of the day, and
I only retro ned this morning. My
sister must not be left longer. I am
glad to have had this opportunity—"
"And you will come again?"
"As to that I am not sure," he
answered, and seeing him onhis feet,
Peter came forward, apparently sur-
prised too at his cousin's abrupt de-
parture.
"How are you going to get back to
Stair; Alan? It's a beastly night, and
a rough walls."
"I shan't mind it," he answered.
"Good night, Professor. I'll unearth
some of the old Stair Records and
send them down for your benefit. Good
night, Miss Carlyon. Perhaps you
may be over to -morrow, Peter? Do
you go to town on Saturdays too?"
"I won't go to -morrow, though I
usually do. Tell Judy T ll look in in
the morning."
They nodded good night, but did not
shake hands.
Once free of the house, Alan Ran-
kine shook himself as if he felt some-
thing closing in on him. He did not
know what it was, but, most certainly,
Carlotta had disturbed him as no wo-
man had yet done in all his thirty
years of life. He felt the blood riot•
ing in his veins; he longed to go back
into that peaceful, homely room, and,
standing up before his cousin, Peter,
dare him to marry Carlotta, who was
no mate for him. That these two ever
would marry was impossible, unthink-
able, even if the appointed day had
been set.
He turned, rather by instinct than
clear plan, into the short field path
which cut nearly two miles off the
road to Stair, and between six and
seven o'clock, dripping wet, and with
muddy boots, pushed open the inner
door of his home, and stepped into the
hall.
Judy, dressed in a low-cut evening
frock of dead blacks, sitting on the
low fender -stool, jumped up in amaze-
ment.
"Why, Alan, you have walked) And
through all that rain! Whatever made
you do it? Couldn't you have wired
for Bob Figgis, or hired a trap at the
station?"
"I fancied the walk, my dear, and
the rain is nothing," he answered, try-
ing to speak as naturally as possible.
BEAUTIFY IT WITH
"DIAMOND DYES"
"I'm sorry if I've kept you waiting.
When is dinner?"
"In about .five minutes' time."
"I won't keep you;" he said, and, as
if glad to escape, took the stairs, three
steps at a time, and :quickly disap-
peared.
Judy, looking still surprised and
puzzled, resumed her seat.
A quarter of an hour later they
were seated together at a small round'
table, set, like an oasis, in the vast-
ness of the great dining, -room, which,
Judy decided, Should be used that
night in honor of the new laird of
Stair. She had taken great pains with
the table, which showed; a mass of ex-
quisite spring flowers, such as are
grateful to eyes that have not looked
upon their like; for years.
They were waited upon by a maid-
servant because, after her father was
compelled to spend most of his time
upstairs, Judy began to practice strict
domestic economies, and had constant-
ly reduced the
onstant-lyreduced'the household at Stair. But
to -night she felt that there ought to
have been a man behind Alan's chair,
and the question she put, presently,
crystallized her thought.
"What have you done with Denis
O'Rourke, Alan? I made sure you
would bring Denis with you."`
"He's coming," said Rankine, with a
nod' and a smile. "I sent him home to
Connemara, via Holyhead, just to get
a peep at his father and mother. But
he'll be here by Ardrossan, I don't
doubt, in the course of a few days."
"And. you mean to keep him here?"
"Why, yes; I suppose so. You see,
I've got used to Denis, and he'll be a
chap after your own heart. We could
do with him here, couldn't we? He's
an excellent servant. There isn't any-
thing under heaven he doesn't know
something about"
As he spoke, his eyes significantly
followed the tablemaid as she left the
room to change the plates.
"We haven't had a butler since you
left, Alan. It wasn't necessary, with
only Claud and nee,and father so
much upstairs. And women -servants
are cheaper. I like them better too.
You can say more to them,"
"You'll like Denis," repeated Ran-
kine, and his mouth hardened a little
as he reflected that he had come back
to face a rather desperate kind of
struggle which would go to prove his
mettle.
A sudden pity and kindliness for his
sister softened' his face almost imme-
diately, however, and, leaning across
the table, he said, almost caressingly:
"I'm afraid you've had a pretty rot-
ten time of it just lately, old dear."
In spite of herself, Judy's eyes
overflowed,
Unused to being considered, save in
the way of appeal to provide the sin-
ews of moral war for other people,
the tender note in her brother's voice
broke down her self-control. She was
a very woman at the moment, and,
had she obeyed the impulse of her
heart, would have run to him and hid
her head on his breast.
Instead, however, she merely blink-
ed her eyes vigorously, and tried to
steady her voice:
"011, no; not so very bad! Just at
the end, perhaps, when there was so
much to do, and nobody but Claud to
talk to about things, I felt like letting
goAt the moment the maid entered
with the next course, and they had to
return to impersonal topics. When
the meal was over (and Judy wonder-
ed whether Club or ship -board dinners
had made Alan more fastidious than
of yore, he ate so little), she suggested
that they should go and sit in the
Pool.
That queer name had been given,
when they were children, to an old
!gun -room at the back of the house,
;opening through a short passage off
i the library,where they had been al-
'lowed
1-ilowed to collect all sorts of rubbish
and nobody found fault.
"I had it cleared up a bit last week,
and you've no idea what heaps of
treasures I found, Alan! There has
been a fire in it since early morning,
and perhaps we can imagine we are
young again, and things as they used
to be."
He assented, apparently well pleas-
ed, and when they entered the queer,
octagon -shaped place, with its medley
of furniture and odds and ends, a
strange loots crept over his face.
"Judy, you're the most understand-
ing woman creature it has ever been
my lotto meet!" he said, with a catch
in his voice. "If you had lain awake
nights, planning it, you. couldn't have
thought of anything better for to-
night'_:"
She smiled happily, paused a mo-
ment to fasten more securely the posy
at her belt, then, drawing in the old
basket -chair, which had been the
favorite bed for the dolls of long ago,
she sank into it with a fluttering lit-
tle sigh.
"Mary will bring the coffee here,
and I'm going to do nothing but lazy
now, "Alan. You can do the talking."
Alan got out a pipe and began to
get tobacco ready, while he told of
his visit to Glasgow and his talk with
the lawyers. He had nothing to tell
her which Judy did not know already.
"And then you came down with
Peter, and where have you been since
—at The Lees?" asked Judy, watch-
ing with pride and untold affection
every movement of the long, graceful
figure on the opposite' side of the fire-
place.
"No, you can't 'guess. Peter 'took
me to the Clock House to introduce me
to his fiancee."
Judy sat forward instantly, vividly,
interested.
`He did? Well, and what do you
think of her? -I am interested to hear,
because, you know, I admire her most
awfully and like her as well. I am
quite sure I am looking forward to
having her at The Lees."
"I've seen lots of women, 'Judy,"
said Alan, deliberately, "hut I've never
seen anybody like leer."
.For besot do
y, you
mean. She is
very beautiful, isn't she?" asked Judy
wistfully, "and a very .unusual type:",
"For beauty, and other things; and,
if you could tell me how Peter got in
there far enough to get her to prom-
ise to marry him, I would be much
obliged." -
"Pm afraid it's the money, Alan,
They' are very poor
"They don't look it. They live like
gentle -people, Judy.

For Sore Feet—Minard's Liniment.
Abrahalil's' Birthplace.
A teraple has been found at Ur, In
Mesopotamla, by British and Ameri-
can explorers, which is claimed to' be
the oldest.;1milding in the world. It
was built by Bing A-en-ni-pad-da, who
reigned about 4,000 years before .tho
birth of Ohrist, and the building is thus
about 6,000 years old. Ur was the na-
tive place of Abraham and the city of
Nebuchadnezzar, •
Interesting details of the excava-
tions at Ur are given by Mr. C. Wool-
ley, leader of the joint expedition of
the British Museum, and the Univer-
sity Museum of Pennsylvania, which
has made the discoveries.
Tho little temple is at Tell. el Obeid,:.
about four miles from Ur, Mr. Wool
ley writes:
"A broad dight sof stone steps led
to a platform about 20 ft. high, on the
south corner of which stood • the tem-
lila proper, its gate -tower fronting on
the stairway, Rs facade set bank from.
the edge of -the platform so as to leave.
a.'narrow step, en which stood a row
of statues of bulls, sculptured in the
round.
"These stood some 3 ft, high, and
were made of thin Copper plates beat-
en up over a wooden core; their heads
were turned out to, -face the spectator,
and their horns were of gold. Two
of these statues have been recovered,
though in a bad condition owing to
the crushing of the metal under the
enormous weight of the brickwork
which had fallen on the top of them,'
and to its subsequent decay, and to
the enemy hands which had torn off
the golden horns.

Noah Webster Deflect
Spectre of Went . to
Write Dictionary
'I
A letter written in 1823 by Noah
Webster, 'author of the dictionary.
which, is said to have prevented the;
United States from becoming a nation
speaking many dialects, in which the
writer refers' to: his plans to secure a
reception for his work in England, hag
boon given out by Jahn' Stuart Thom-
son; of Jersey City.
The communication, which is ,des-
cribed as hitherto unpublished, was
addressed to Charles R. Webster, a
cousin of Noah, and was found by 1VIr,
Thomson among ' the 'papers of the.
cousin. It reads as. follows:
"New Haven, Sept, 24, 1823.
"Dear Sir•.
"T expected you would call anion me
the morning you left New haven, but
you disa;ppainted me and must writs
what want to say to you. You must
have beard that I have been many
years in compiling a, complete diction
art' of. our language, My;researchea
have :been laborious and extensive,
and I think fruitful in discoveries.. Ae
I am drawing toward the conclusion
of the work, I think of going to Eng-
land next summer to revise and'com-
plete the work and try to obtain a.re-
caption of it in that country, But any
resources are too seanty for such an
uudertalcing and I want to avail my-
self of all my extra means. I have on
band a new book of my own publish-
ing, entitled 'Letters to a Young Gen-
tleman Concerning His Education,'
some of which I think may be sold !n Al-
bany. The retail price is $1.75, the
work being a thin octavo: The sheet
price is 30 cents and for a" hundred or
mare I would say 80 cents. Now, Sir,
will not Webster and Skinner assssist
me, by taking a hundred or two, either
bound or in sheets; bound at $1.20 or.
in sheets at $o cents? If you will, it
will Sett' much oblige me.
"My dictionary has cost me' twenty-
six years of labor and about $30,000,
If I succeed I shall reimburse all my
friends for their advances, If I should
not, I shell be left in my old age with
small means for subsistence,
"Please to present our kind respects
to Mrs. W. and other friends.
"Yours with affection and respect,
"N. WEBSTER,"
Railway Built by Doctors!
The most wonderful, and at the
same time the most isolated, railway
in the world is nSouth America. r i o a. It
c
begins and ends two thousand miles
from civilization.
The terminus of steam navigation up
the Amazon and its mighty tributary,
the Madeira River, is at Porto Velho,
two thousand- miles from the sea.
Here the. Madoira.Marmore Railway
begins, carrying the traveller and his
merchandise past two hundred and
fifty miles of cataracts and rapids to
the navigable rivers of Bolivia.
The task of getting European goods
into north-eastern Bolivia used to be
gigantic. It took six months,, and
every pound had to be carried on the
backs of natives to escape the rapids.
The railway was begun as long ago as
1874, but it had to be abandoned, be-
cause every sleeper laid cost a life,
It was only when medical science
stepped in to help the engineers that
the colossal task was accomplished
ten years ago.
The line was built by the Govern-
ment of Brazil It circumvents nine-
teen cataracts; starts two thousand
miles from any other railroad, and
ends at a similar distance in Bolivia.
The great waterways complete the
journey from Atlantic to Pacific. The
Americans say that: it was really built
by "Dr. Lovelace and quinine."
The Stalwart Heart.
Give me always a goal to try for;
Let ore fight till my breath be spent;
Give me a dream to live and die for
And I shall be content.
I{eep for others your silken leisure,
Drowsy days 1n the shade or sun;
I was, never a one to treasure
Rest till my work was done.
No, for sloth is the worst of sinning; -
Give me the joy and zest of the fray,
Finding my true reward' in the win-
ning,
Not in the prize or pay.
And, if victory be denied me,
Isbell not shrink from another test,
Nor ease at all if the fools deride ore, ,
Knowing I did my best.
Somewhere still -there are, roads un-
charted;
Somewhere still is an unfound Grail;
Let me go onward, valiant hearted,
To'the end of the last, long treil,
Giverne always a goal to, try for;
Let me toil till my days ire spent;
Give me a dreaui to fight and die for
And I shall be content!
