Bobbie, skilled in readin the human countenance, and possess ing a knowledge of human nature tha was 'almost uncanny, could follow pet featly the workings of his mind. Pete had come ,in partly, no' doubt,,, to as for a sleeping draught, but really an actually because he was at the end o his tether and must talk to soineane His pride forbade that he should dis cuss the matter with his own people since he had forbidden the name o Rankine to be so muck as uttered i his presence. And he was. hungerin and thirsting: for first-hand inform tion regarding what was actually go ing.to happen at ,Stair. "What, may I ask, are your. expec tations?" he asked dryly. "Why, that he'll 'strike Ile!' It's hi intention. It's what he's going ou for. His determination is terrible He doesn't say much about it, but it' there. This will be the 'malting o Alan Rankine, Peter!" Peter Garvock grunted. "She goes with him; i suppose?" h said dryly still "though from wila I know of her, she's hardly the woma for the pathway of the pioneer." "She is not going. The' idea neve occurred to her, or to him. The Car lyons are going from the Clock House Peter." "What for?" asked Peter stupidly ""Asir me another! London is then destination, so in :another few week all the disturbing factors will be re moved from your life, and, no doubt sleep will be restored to you." Peter Garvock snapped his lips to gether. "Do you mean that they are leaving Ayr for good—stock, lock, and bar rel?" "That is what I do mean." "Go and get me that stuff fgom the surgery, old snare" said Peter, trying to steady his voice, "It's time 1 was going." Bobbie went into the imeer• room and Peter Garvock dropped his head on his hands. All he desired and had planned had come to.pass then, though in a diffe�r- ent way from what he had anticipated. Ile had succeeded in driving the Ran- kines from Stair; and it was his doing that Alan Rankine had to go forth into the. wilderness to seek his broad, The haste and completeness of it all were bewildering. He had heard ru- mors—it was to verify them he had sought Bobbie—and now he knew! Was he happy, or glad, or evenmtld- y satisfied? Bobbin thought not, when, a few minutes later, he entered through the surgery door with a little pill -box in his hand. "Two at bedtime, Peter, and if they have no effect, you may take other two an hour after—but no store, un- ess you want to go to sleep and 'wake nn in Kingdom Come!" -"I shouldn't mind, for life's a damn rd business," came in muffled tones :oni Peter's compressed lips. "Most of. us find it so at odd times," asented Bobbie, with a kind of sub- dued cheem'fulness. Then, quite sud- enly, as Garvock was about to rise, he dropped Inc hand on his shoulder. "Old nlan—we've known one an - the a goodish dish while, and had some g fair sport both at Staiand The Lees. You'll let me say what I think?" "If I know anything about you, B, .," answered Garvock, using the name which the doctor was known only to the innermost circle, "you'll say t without let or hindrance from me." "Well, as things are—mala a big ffort---" "In what direction?" "Peace," said Bobbie swiftly. "Go p to Stair and shake hands with Ian before he goes. Perhaps he may. never come back. His chances are not very brilliant or promising, poor chap; and Miss Carlyon is very nearly! as inaccessible as if she had marred you, Peace between Stair and The Lees, Peter, while you have the chance. And be a happier man for it!" If Garvock did not resent, still less did he respond. "As I said, before, Bobbie,. it is easy for the outsider to criticize and to ad- vise" You mean well, but you had better leave me to manage ;my own affairs." "You are not managing, but mud- dling them," answered Bobbie with one of his honest outbursts. ""Nobody could 0,, as g e, ers ou at aP- et t. 1,1 0 A Rankle d n g t r k d 1 g a- t 1 e. t n r r s CHAPTER XI.

All who came in contact with Peter Mackerroty thinks I had better come some time this year on Frank's ac- count, but I don't choose that people will say this affair has got the better of me'.' Bobbie fully understood. He, too, sat back in his chair, and attentively studied the face and physique of the man in front of him. In the course of his day's work, Bob- bie Sanderson heard most of what was going on, both in town,. .and country, and he was - fully :acquainted with every phase of the Rankine-Garvock feud up to date. He wondered just how ]ouch of Stair affairs Peter himself now knew, and whether he dared introduce the subject. He was saved the trouble of deciding, however, by Peter's next words. "You are about a lot, and hear the gossip of the county. I suppose you know that they are leaving Stair." "Yes. .T was there yesterday, and found Miss Rankine in the throes pf packing up. It was a very sorry sight, Peter, and I don't mind confesding that it gave me a lump in the throat," Garvock's expression did not change. Nay, the dark, sombre fire seemed to deepen in his sunken eyes. "Alan Rankine thinks he has got the better of me because he got the Money from, somewhere to pay up what he Deed. But what has he gained by it? He's got to turn out of the place just the sane! He is not a penny the better off—only got a fres!! master, that's all." 1 '€after° eves meal" 1Parexts:, encourage the Children to care for theirfcvtWW dive them Wrigley's.
