CHAPTER XXIX.

Peter Garvock, on a- Sunday after-
noon, put his hand- on the wicket gate
on -the far side of The Lees shrub-
bery, and -passed en to the lover slopes
of Baraseie
1? was a day of April's most ex-
quisite mood. A sunny sea lay, blue
end ambient, under the dappled sky,
the air was full of the soft, indescrib-
able beneficence of spring, birds sang
and twittered on every bough, end
the far cry of the lambs seemed to
voice at once the need of childhood
and the answering call of motherhood
throughout the world.
These two two years had aged Peter
Garvock so that his face looked harsh-
er than ever, and the grey was about
his temples.
There is no process by which a men
nips quicker than by mental travail,
Of which Peter had had his fill.
No man or woman (since he -shut-
his inmost heart from those in the
house with hint) knew what these two
years had held for him. In the silent
night watches, when he did not sleep,
he Wm haunted by the vision of a
naked and devastated Stair, from
which hie kindred had been swept
clean, like the chaff before. the wind,
• Little or no news of the Rankine
had filtered through to Ayr, and none
at all to Peter Gurvock, though he was
aware that Alan Was believed to have
died in Canada, nothing having been
heard of him since he left Scotland.
Juet that morning he had hands that
the tenants had left Stair, and that

of the des..leted house.
"When—when did you come?" he
stammered. "I only heard to -day
that the house was empty, and I was
len mylway to see whether it Wag
true.'
i"You can come back with me then.
My sister-in.:law only arrived last
night at eight o'clock. But she is very
tired, and I have not allowed her to
get up till tea -time," ,
I "Yew sister-in-law!" repeated
[Peter in the same. stupid, stammering
fashion. "Then whore is Man?"
I "Alan? Only God knows!" answered
'Judy, without a thought of irrever-
ence. "Let us sit down here and tedk
things over, Peter, for I see you are
interested, and; after all, I won't go
to The Lees, because now I see you I
'know it was only you I did want to
see. But I hope Aunt Isabel and Lucy

She spoke these commonplaces to

i Three weeks of drying Mardi wind
, had made the fields ready for the
;sowing, and there was not a marshy
spot left on Barassie Hill, •
Judy dropped down on a clump of
!heather on which the new shoots
;were showing greenly against the grey
of a sheltering boulder, and invited
!her cousin to de likewise. But for
• space he did not, but stood still, star
leg down at her with the strangest
expression on his face,
"I can't compliment you, Peter, for
—,holtest Indian—you are looktn
!about sixty years old to -day. What
ever have you been doing to your
self?"

"Poe good."
Judy wedded.
"She says so. She has made a great
deal of money, and. of course, as
Alan's wife she has the rightto Steil

is rather weird at times about things
like that, Peter, but in all the world
there never has been a move noble
woman than Carlotta, nor a love like
theirs—or like here, I should say! --
for whit can we Imove of Man's lore
or hate at the Back of Beyond!"
"I have known, of course, that she
hes been on the stage all the time,
and that she has been a tremendous
success. And she went to America
---didn't she?—last year, and did well
there too."
"Oh, yes, I was with her. Alan

Judy was in no way amazed at

"Theeb isn't any use speaking

An Arctic PatroL
Canada exercises jurisdiction in her
rY Arctic archipelago and is endeavoring
is to ameliorate the conditions under
y. which her Eskimo citizens are living.
.Patrols sent out by the Dominion Gee
d ernmeet are administering ju,stiee and
eef investigating condithins in that vast
k area. Every precaution is being taken
to conserve thewild life of Arctic Can-
r- ada and the- operations of the white
.
n trapper and trader are being so limited
as to avoid undue depletion of the fee -
ie • bearers, and game animals.
In pursuance of this policy Major L
e T. Burwash, exploratory engineer of
'the North West Territoriesand Yukon
• Branch, Department of the Interior,
Et has already begun his patrol through
a the southern islandof our Arctic
te
archipelago from the mouth of the
Mackenzie river to Hudson, bay. He
• will travel through this country for the
n next two years, living with the natives
! and Investigating conditions on the
; ground,
Major Burwerh left Ottawa on 2nd
July en ronte fee Fort Smith, North-
west Territories, and from there pro
ce
• eeededly steamer to the mouth of the
t Mackenzie river. From Aklavilt he
o will travel eastward along the toast
y visiting the different settlements, and
Y making surveys, obseryhtions, and
g other investigations, Major Burwash
n hopes to winter in King William island
where there is a considerable bend of
t Eskimo, and next year will eontinue
his journey, and expects to come out
either at Repulse bay at the north end
or Hudson bay or else to moss conntry
• to Wager bay and Chesterfield inlet
0 During his trip Major Burwash, in
addition to conducting scientific and
I economic investigations, including a
survey of the wild life and other natur-
al resources of the land and sea along
the Arctic cottst, will take a census
of the Eskimos in the dietriot tra-
versed. Observations for magnetic de-
clination will be made •by Maim Bur -
wash for the T h
and much other valuable information
Is expected to result from the trlp.
Major Burwash wilrtravel alone and
will secure what aveistance he requires
by engaging natives front each of the
different tribes he visits. It is be.
lieved that it will be much easier for
one man to pass through the country
than if the investigation were made 1
by a party of considerable size, •

But Peter refused to he beguiled
"I can't get °ear it," he said, in
voice of anguish such as Judy ha
never before heard from her cousin
lips,
"You can't get over what?"
- "The fact that you don't bear an

"He has twelve hundred a year from

Proudly. That is just the beginning
f things for Claud. He's most awfully
c0terver, Peter—the pick of the hunch,
as far tie rains are concerned; and
he has a way with Cabinet Ministers
which used to amuse and astonish
me, I got quite a nice little peep into
political life while I was keeping
house for him at Queen Anne's Gate.
Why, didn't you even -know that?
What a state of 'heathen darkness you
seem to be all in! I suppose you
know that the girl Claud married
used to live here? Her father was a
minister in Ayr."
"Yes, I knew that much," answered
Peter. And Judy went on to tell him
more about Claud, bis present, and
his probable future. But pretty soon
she saw that his thoughts were wand-
ering, and, stopping short, she said
she would be going home.
She felt rather sorry for Peter Gar-
vock on the whole. He had such a for-
lorn look, and did not seem to have
much in life worth living for. In

very little malice, and the experience

A few days later there are many
finished six -sided clls, and the queen
begins to people the new Mts. She
alone lays the eggs, and she 'does this
as fast as the cells are completed, lay -
Ing one in each. Honey 1 brought in,
and pollen and water ,and the nurse
beesare soon at workmaing the spe-
cal tood, a mixture of pollen and
Watea that is giVen to the young bees
when they leave the 'eggs.
Only Workers Wanted,
The bees work us they have never
worked before. Every available hour
of sunshine is taken advantage ot,
with the result that hundreds die simp-
ly becaue their tired bodies cannot
work longer. Their wings are worn
through buffeting against the winds,
yet 'Malty of these disabled Workers
reach their Immo anti deliver their
etores. If they cannot perform any
mare duties, alas' are thrown out by
their companions. There is to Nun-
pathy or love of any description shown
in this matter-of-fact communitY.
They must put everysounce of energy
nto their work, tor Within a few weeks
they must gather sufficient stoma to
teep them for at least eight months,
and if the weather should keep line,
and there are etlenty of honey.yieldig
flowers in the fields, they will hring
n enough for themselves and a big
males for the beekeepr.
Sometimes it happens that after the
warm leaves its old home to form a

ain and cold, when no honey Is forte-
d in the flower, takes its place. Ta
itch eases the bees will cling tenael-
nsly to their new home.
• On Short Rations,
Before leaving the original hive the
ees that intended to follow their
neen ilileti themselvezt With honey,
nil each had in its smell body enough
or about four days. In ease of enter-
ency WS is slimed !me -being cave
illy rationed, and if the inclement
°tther should continue, and the bees
nine to the verge of stareation, the
emaining food Is passed by the out-
ide bees to the centre, where it is
arefully husbanded to feed the queen.
I have seen thousands- of these on
te edge of the cluster deal, while a,
mall handful werearound the queen,
he last drop of all is given to her,
and eho Is the last to die. .
A Poem You Should Know.
