"How are you, Ronald?' ,said Mr
.Hodson. 1I have brought soy daughter
to see you,'
'Will ye step in. sir?' said Ronald.
hastily, and with a terrible conscious-
ness .0f his untidy 'appearance. Ay, in
there -will ye sit clown for a few min-
utes -and will ye excuse ole -I
thought you 'werene coming till to-
lmorrow--'
'Wel, 1 thotvght they might object
to drivipg me on a Sunday. I can't
make it out. 'Perhaps what I. have
read about Scotland is not true. Or
perhaps, they have altered of late
years, Anyhow they made no objec-
, tion, and here 1 am,'
In the midst of 'these brief senlen-
ces-each pronounced with a little ris-
ing inflection at the •end --(Ronald ma-
naged to slip away and get himself
made e. lirtle more presentable. When
he: returned,the apparentexcuse for
his a'bsenfce was that he brought in
some glasses and water and a bottle
of whiskey; and then he went to a
little r a h o,g a n y sideboard a n d
!brought out a tin case of biscuits.
'You need not -,trouble about these
things for us; 't' have just had
lunch, Mr, .Hodson said.
'Perhaps the young lad --' said
Ronald, timidly, and even nervously,
for there was no Pilate handy, and he
did •nd't know how to offer her the.
biscuits,
"Oh, no. I thank you,' she said, 'with
a pretty gracious ensile; and be,hap-
pened to meet her eyes just at that
time; and instantly became aware that
they ,were curiously scrutinizing and
obsenvant, despite their apparent soft -
•mess and lustrous blackness:
Now Miss Carry • Hodson had an
abundance of shrewd feminine per-
ception and it was easy to see that
this handsome and stalwart young
fellow had been grievously disturbed,
and was even now unnerved, through
his having :been caught in disarray -
on the occasion of a young lady visit-
ing him; and accordingly, to a'ilow
him to recover, she deliberately effac-
ed herself; saying -not a word, nor ev-
en listening. while her' father and he
proceeded to talk a'botit the salmon -
fishing, and about the distressingly
line weather that threatened to inter-
fere with ,that pursuit, She sat silent,
allowing those ahservant eyes of hers
to roam freely round the room, and
indeed wondering how a man of his
occupations could so have ,contrived
to rob his home of all distinctive char-
acter and to render it so clearly com-
monplace. There .was nothing wild or
savage about ,it; not the skin of any
beast, noir the plumage of any bird;
everything was of a bourgeois neat-
ness and respectability - the orna-
ments on the mantle -shelf (conspicu-
ously so; and what was strangest of
all --though this will scarcely be be-
lieved -was that two roebucks' heads
that adorned the .wall, in a country
where roe abound, were earthenware
casts, and bad casts, too, obviously
hailing from (Germany. She observed,
however, that there were a good many
books about -some of them even pil-
ed in obscure corners; and to judge
by the saber character of 'their cloth
binding she guessed then to be of a
rather superior class. The pictures on
the •walls were 'some 'cheap reprints of
Landseer; a portrait of the Duke of
Sutherland, in Highland !garb; a view
;' .' of Dn'nrob:in .Castle; and a photograph
of Mr. Millais' •`101-cier of (Release,'
After awhile she began to know
.. ''(without -looking) that the young -man
'had assumed sufficient courage to
glance at her from time to time; and
she allowed hien to do that; for •she
consid-ered that the people in Regent -
street had fitted her out in Highland
fashion in a suii cieetly accarate way.
But it soon appeared that he was
talking about her; and what was this
wild proposal?
'It seems a pity,' he was saying. 'if
the .filch are taking, no to have two
'boats at the work. And there's that
(big rod o' your., sir, you could use
that for the trolling: and let the
young lady have one n' your ,grilse
reads. Then there's mine -she - can v
have that and welcome---' 11
'Yes, but the ,gillies
'Oh, 1'11 take a turn thyself; I'm no
en busy now. And 1 can get one o'
rhe lads to jend a hand.' -
"Do you hear this, Parry?' her fa-
ther said.
'What, papa?'
'.Ronald wants you to start off sal
niott-'fishing to -morrow, in a boat all
to yourself--.--'
'Alone?', -
''Why, mol He says he will go with
you, and one of the lads; and yoti
will have all the best advice and ex
ierience-1 don't think it's fair, niy-
eelf--,but it's very good-natured any -
:And do you think there's a chance
of my catchinga salmon?' she said,
eagerly. and sate turned her eloquent
olaek eves, all lit up with pleasure
full upon hell.
'011, yes, indeed,' said he, docking
,town, 'and many and many a one,- I
am sure, if we could only get a little
wet weather,'
'bit'!' she exclaimed, '11 d caught a
salmon, I'd have it stuffed right
away---'
'With sage and onion;;. I suppose,'
her father said, severely. -
:And we begin to -morrow? Why,
it's just too delightful -I was looking
forward to days and clays indoors,
with nothing but books. And 11 *shall
really have a chance--'
'I think you might as well thank
Ronald for his offer,' her father said.
'i should -never have thought of -it,'
Well, she -hesitated; for it is a dif-
ficult thing to make a formal -little
epeecll when it is asked for by a third
person; but the young keeper quickly
laughed away her embarrassment.
'No, no, sir; well wait for that till
we see how our luck turns out. And
we'll have the 'Duke's boat, ill 111(1, that
Duncan says is the lucky one: you'll
have to look sharp, or we'll have the
biggest show on the grass at the end
of the day.'
Mr. Hodson now rose to take his
leave, far 'he wanted his daughter to
walk down to the shores of the loch
where they were next day to begin
their labors, And thus it was that
Miss Carry -who had looked forward
at the most 'to sitting in the boat with
her father and looking on -found lier-
se'lf pledged to a course of salmon -
fishing, under the immediate guidance
Ind instruction of the young keeper;
tad she had noticed that he already
talked of the occupants of the Duke's
'mitt as 'we' -assuming that he and
.he were in a sort of partnership, awl
pitted against the others. Well. it
would be amusing, she thought. She
also considered that Ire was very
food -looking; and that it wattle] be
pleasanter to have a companion of
that kind than a -surly old boatman.
She imagined they aright easily be-
cante excellent friends -at least, she
was willing enough; and he seemed
civil, and good-humored, and modest,
and altogether the arrangement pro-
mised to work very well.
CHAPTER X.11V,
There was a good deal of bustle in
the inn next morning; 'Ronald busy
with the fishing -tackle for the second
boat; luncheon being got ready for
six; and the gillies fighting as to
which should have the landing -net
and which the clip. In the midst of all
this. !Miss 'Carry -looking very smart
in her Highland costume, Tam o'
S'ha,ntes and all -came placidly in to
breakfast, and as site sate down she
said -
"Papa, dear, I met such a -pretty
girl,'
'Have you -been out?' he asked,
'i011ly as far as the bridge. -S met
her es f was coming hack. And she
looked so pretty and shy that f spoke
to her: T think she was a little ifritttiit-
eneel at first; but anyway I got to
know who she is -the doctor's daugh-
ter. Oh, you should hear her speak
the accent is so pretty 01151 'gentle.
\Vell, its all settled. papa; Um just in
love with the Highland people. from
this mit.' - -
'There'; safety- in. numbers,' obser-
ed her father, grimly; and then he
raceeded'to explore the ,contents of
e
{he covers,
When they were ready to go down
to the loeh then fiord that the men
had already set out -Halal but Ronald,
who had remained behind to see if
there was nothing thriller he could
carry for the, young lady. So these
started toge't'her; and of course all the
talk was about the far too (fine weath-
er, and t'ite chances al getting a fish
or two in spite of it, and the betting
an the rival .boats. '\Miss Carry listened
in silence; so far site had heard or
seen nothing very remarkable about
the handsonme young keeper who had
sr. impressed her father. He spoke
frankly and freely -enough, it is 'trate
(when he was not speaking to her),
and he was recounting with some
smite_ sarcasm certain superstitious
beliefs and- practices of the people
about there; .bat, apart from the keen
look of his eyes, and the manly ring
of his voice, and the easy swing of
itis voice, and the easy swing of the
well=built figure. there was nothing
very noticeable about hint. She
thought his keeper's; 'costume rather.
picturesque, and weather -worn into
harmonious color; and wondered !tow
men in towns had conte to wear the
eneiglrtly garments of these present
day.;, -And so at last they arrived at
the loch; and found 'that the gillies
had got the rods fixed and everything
ready; and presently the black boat,
with Mr, Hodson and hie two gillies,
was .shoved off, and 'Ronald, 'before
:taking the young lady '10 step into
the green boat ---the Dunce's boat-
MIS showing her what she should do
if a salmon should attach itself to
either of the lines:
"I don't feel like catching a sal-
mon somehow'," she remarked. "I
don't think it can be -true. Anyway
you'll see 11 shan't scream." She stepped into the boat and took
her seat; the rods were placed for
her; the cable was shoved further
into the water, and then 'Ronald and
the young lact got in and took to the
oars. Miss .Carry was bidden to pay
out ono of the lines ,slowly as they
moved away from the 'bank; and in
due course site had both lines out
and the two rods fixed at the proper
angle, and the reels free. She obeyer)
all his imsttneti0115 without haste or
confusion. She was a promising pupil.
And he wondered what nerve she
would show When the crisis came.
Now it may he explained) -for the
x•ne it of those .inexperienced in such
longe that these fishing cables have
a cross bench placed about midway
between the stern and the thwart (te-
mpled by the stroke oar; and the
-usual custom is far the fisherman to
it oit this bench facing the steso,.su
that he can see both rods and be
ready for the first shaking of the top.
But Miss Carry did not understand
this at all. In entering the cohle she
naturally took her place right astern,
facing the rowers. It never entered
her head to be guilty of the discourt-
esy of turning her :back on them; be-
sides, Ronald was directing her with
his eyes as much as with his speech,
and she mutt he alble to see hitt;
ntereot•er he did not tell her ..he was
sitting the wrong way; and then
again was not the first signal to be
the shreiking of the reel? ---and both
reels were now under her observa-
tion, so that she could snatch at eith-
er rod in a second. The consequence
,d all this was that she and !Ronald
-ate face to face -not more than a
yard and a half between them --their
eyes exactly on a level -and when
they spoke to each :ether, it wail very
distinctly miter vier augen, for the
hay at the how was mostly hidden.
"Papa, dear," she said to her father
that evening, "he is a very nervous
mans,,
"Who?"
"Ronald,"
-Nonsense. He is as hard as nails.
He don't knoww what nerves mean."
'He is a very nervous man,' she in-
eisted (and hadshe not been study-
ing hint for a whole day?). 'His eyes
throb when you meet them suddenly,
Or rather, he semens to 'know they
are very powerful .and penetrating --
and he does not like to stare at you -
so you can see there is a tremor of
the lid sometimes as he !oaks up -as
if he would partly veil his eyes. •It's
very outdoes. He's shy -like a wild
animal ,almost. And that pretty girl
I stet this morning has something of
that look too.'
'Perhaps they're not used to having
the cold gaze of science turned on
them,' her father remarked, dryly,
'Is that ate?'
'You may take it that way.'
'"('hen you'.re quite wrong: It isn't
scienee at all. It is an active and ben-
evolent sympathy; 'I. ant going to
make friends with everyoneof them.
Ronald says her name is :Miss :Doug-
las-- and S mean to call.'
'Very well, then,' said her (ather,
who left thisyounglady pretty mach
-the mistress of her own actions.
However, to -return to the fishing:
the morning did not promise well,
the weather being too :bright and
aver, though 'there was a very fair
freeze -of a curious sultry character
for the middle of -Marche -blowing up
from -the south and making- a gaud -
ripple on the loch. Again and again
the tw•o beats crossed each other; and
the cry was-
'Northing yet?'
j And the answer -
'Not a touch,'
1 By this time Miss -Carry had 'got to
know a good deal about the young
'keeper whose eyes were so directly on
la level with hers, He had 'been to Ab-
erdeen, and to (Glasgow, and to Edin-
burgh; but never Dalt of Scotland? -
no, Had he no wish to see London
and Paris? Had he no wish to see
America? -why, if her came over,
her father would arrange to have hint
put in the way of seeing everything.
And perhaps he might be. tempted to
stay? -there was such opportunities
For young men, especially in the west.
As for her, she was most communi-
cative about herself; and apparently
she had been everywhere and seen ev-
erything-,+ex'ceplt Stratford -on -Myon:
that was to be the climax; that was
to be the last thing they should visit
in l•ttrope-•-and then on to Liverpool,
and hone. She had been a great devil
longer in Europe than her father, she
said. Her mother was an invalid and
could not travel;, her brother George
-ejoidge, she called him) was at
school; so she and a schoolfellow of
hers had set out for Europe, accom-
panied by a maid and a courier, and
had 'most seen everything' from at.

this .and more she told him with the
black soli eyes regarding* hint open-
ly; and the pale, foreign, tea -rose

and the pretty, white, delicate small

Hen Loyal, the straths and woods
around d looked to hint ;mall and con-
fined au this tiwet nrcrning. She
seemed to have brought with her a
viler atmosphere, a larger air. Anal
for a young girl like this to know so
much --to have seen so much --and to
talk so simply and naturally of going
here, there, or anywhere, as if dis-
tance were nothing, and time nothing,
and money nothing; all this puzzled
hint not a little. She must have cour-
age, then, and daring, and endurance.
despite the pale face, and the slender
figure; and the small, white, 'blue
reined hands? Why, she spoke of
running. over to Paris, in a'boet a
fortnight's time, to he present at the
wedding of a friend. Just as any one
about here would speak of driving o"
to 'Tongue and returning by the mail -
cart next day.
Suddenly there was a quick, half-
suplaresseci euclantatian,
'There heisd-eethere he is!'
And all in a second, as it seemed,
Ronald had 'flung his oar back tie the
lad behind, .seized one of the rods and
raised it and pat it in her hands, and
was rapidly reeling in the line, \Vhat
WAS happening she could hardly tell
she was so 'bewildered. The rod that
she psinfally held upright ,was being
violently shaken -- now and . ag+tin
there was a loud, long whirr of the
'•eel and IRO flak, was by her Shoel-
ess she knew, 'but not speaking a word
--and site was wildly endeavoring 1-,
recall all that he had told her. Then
there was a :sudden slackening of the
line -what was this?
'Ali right,' said he, very quietly,
'Reel in now -as quirk aa ye ran,
please.'
V\'s'll, she was reeling in as bard as
her small and delicate wrist was able
to do --and in 001th ,she was too be-
wildered to feel excited; and above
a111 other earthly things was she an-
xious that she shouldn't show herself.
a fool, or scn•eaol, or let the thing go
-when all at once the handle of the
reel seemed to he whipped from her
grasp; there 'was a long whirring
shriek of the line; she could hea-r
.0mewhere a mighty splash (though
she flared not look at anything but
what was in her hands), and at the
sante moment site fancied Ronald
said, with a quiet laugh -
'We've beat them this time -a
clean fish!'
'He '!s not away?'
"Away -not a bit.'
`Do you thinlie we'll get hint?' she
said, 'breathlessly,
'We'll hold on to him as long as he
holds on to us,' Ronald said; and she
heard hint add to himself, 'I would
rather than !five shillings we got the
first fish!'
'Bult this thing is so heavy!' she
pleaded.
Never
mind -that's right -that's
right- !keep a -good strain on him -
w'e'll bring him to Nis senses.'
,Again there was a sudden slacken-
ing of the line; and this time she ac-
tually saw the animal as it sprung in-
to the - air -a white gleaming curved
thing-ebult instantly her attention was
on the reel,
That's it -you're doing !fine,' he
aIIl, with an intentional quietude of
cone, so that site might not get over -
nervous and make a mistake:
Then he made, her stand up -and
fortunately the coh'le WAS rocking but
little; and he moved her left hand a -
little higher up the rod, so that she
should have 'letter leverage; and she
did all that 'she was bid mutely arid„
meekly, though her•.aran was already
beginning to feel the heavy strain
She vowed to herself that so long as
the could draw a breath she would
not give in,
The other boat was passing-ebiet of
course at a respectful distance,
'Hill on to hint, Carry!' her fatti-
er called, - -
She paid no heed. She dared not ev-
en 'loo'k in Itis direction, The fish
scented to he following ftp the •coble
now, and et was all that the slender
wrist coulcl clo to :get in the line so as
to keep the prescribed curve on the
rod. 'And then she had to give way
again; for the salmon went steadily
anci slowly down -boring and sulking

lest he should suddenly come to the
surface and 'be alter conte dangerous
cantrip. She took advantage of this
period of .q'u'iet to pass the rod from
her left •hand to her right; -anti that
relieved her arm a little; and she even
ventured -to say -
"How long 'is he going on like this?:
'\Ve'll give him his own time, Miss,'
Ronald said.
'Don't call me Miss,' she said, with
a little vexation,
`I -I 'beg your pardon -what then?'
1011, anything you hike, iblind you
catch me if I ball into the water,'
'The truth was she was a little bit
excited; and desperately anxious that
her strength should hold otrt; and ev-
en permitting! herself an occasional
gleam of hope and joy and triumph.
Her first salmon? Here would be tid-
ings for the girls at home! If only the
beast - would do eomethi e, -or show
signsof yielding -anything rather
than she should have to give in, and
weakly resign the rod to uRonald1 :\s
for him, he stood almost tonching her
shoulder,
"Nn, no,' said he, 'there's no fear o'
•
your falling into the crater. We've gat
to get this gentleman out first.'
And then her feeble efforts at talk
ing (meant to show that she was not
excited, but having exactly the con-
trary effect) all went by the board.
Something was happening -she knew
1101 what -something wild, terrifying,
violent, desperate - and apparently
unite near -and all the line was slaok
now --and the handle of the reel
slack, in her frantic efforts to turn
it with an impossible quicknes-and
her heart was choking with fright.
For why would this beast spring, and
splash, and churn the water, while
the line seemed to go all wrong, and
ct-erything become mixed? But her
trembling fingers got the reel to work
at last; and she would as quickly as
she could; and by this time the sal-
mon. had disappeared) again -and was
bearing an even, dead strain on the
rod, but oat so'heavily as before,
'My gracious!' she said -she wee
quite 'breathless.
It's all right,' he said, quietly -tut
he had been pretty breathless, too,
and for several seconds in blank des-
pair.

yielding -that last fierce thrashin;g' of
the water had weakened hint. She

still, she knew not -what he night 1101

gether unexpected. And yet she knew
-and her left a -nm was gratefully
conscious -that the strain was not so
heavy now; the line was quite short•
and she became aware that she was
exercising more and more power over
her captive and could force hint to
stop his brief and ineffectual rushes,
[Once or twice he had come quite
near the boat -sailing in on his side,
as it were --and then sheering off
again at the sight of then!; but these
efforts to get away were growing
more and more feeble; and at last
Ronald called -
'We'l'l try him -this tine -give hint

a quick stroke of the clip, and the
great ntons!fer was in the boat, and
she sank down on to the 'beach, her

She clapped her hands in de'ligh't„
Yes, and that involuntary little -a'ct'ion
revealed to her what rhe diad not

was pretty badly cut, -and 'bleeding.
'What's this?' she said, but she did
not *heed much -now that the. 'grea't
