Miss Carlyon took the leading part, arid created quite .a sensation. Her !nether was on the stage once, long ago, and I itapp» o she has inherited the gift." "k'eter and the stage!

"What does Aunt isaFel r;av to this?" "Not much, She has behaved very well,'' consider, for, et mane, thi! Canyons aro hardiy received—don't you know? ---and Aunt Isabel is fairly proud. But Peter . is happy, Alan, there is no doubt; about that, and it is going to db him good in every direc- tion, It's bringing out the human side of him." , "Well, well news indeed!" murmur- ed Rankine, as , he went' off to get ready for the busy day in front, He had got plenty to occupyyhis 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 arwistful ques- tion to him, t "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. 4'm stopping at Stair, to sink or swim•. with it. If we pull' together --you and I, Judy— ' 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 --one 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 lessitinship with the open, and who prized money and the things 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- aIly 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 ,itankines had some slight ties of blood between them, sufficient to make the young people adopt themselves as' cousins. They had all been brought up together, in a sense, and Isabel Garvock had help- ed to mother the motherless brood al 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 be- fore him. Bit by bit, the borders of; The Leas had been widened, 'every lit- tle bit endeto' eastti PPeii up ars sodno as money could ),u Lit 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 lacked the whole dignityof Stair, it had that sheltered, carerfor look, that outward air of prosperity "I think I'll ask you to wait till you 'which we associate with money wisely spent. It, was an ideal home for one of Glasgow's merchant princes, which Peter Garvock undoubtedly was. Love Gives Itself THE STORY OF A BLOOD FEUD BY ANNIE S. SWAN. CHAPTER I.— (Cont'd:) 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 "Faith, and that would be a hard! smile, 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 plainez • 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 same time he rose and pushed 'back his chair. "Is there anything in the stable that will carry me to Ayr?" "Not on its back, I'rn 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 I saying about things. I suppose old I 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." I Alan Rankine looked the picture of • surprise. I "Peter Garvock engaged? Judy, you're getting at me!" Judy laughed. "I am not. 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? belore we had time to realize that they even knew each other." . ' "Who is the woman? Nobody in this quarter, surely, with such 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 rI 1 suppose. And it is his daugliter—What .ho!" The words ended in a_ long, low whistle of amazement. "What sort is she? A blue -stock- 1 ing, a sweet Newnham creature, with straight hair and a`.pair of blue goy, gles, who will correct Peter's class;^s —though he rather fancies himself in them!" - Judy laughed again. see her, Alan, I can't describe her, really.

LEVER <BROTHERS LIMITED, TORONTO Alan Rankine's business in Ayr was quickly 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, & Hume, in Jamaica Street. He would kust miss'the lawyer at that hour, he new, and might as wvel'l.unch 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 shook 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 raucous quality, was softened into a kindliness and sympathy which sur- prised nobodeee nore than his : cousin, for, though they had been fairly' good friends the most of their live,,; chiefly because . Alan hiimse'f"was not ,of ,a quarrelsome disposition, he had often" compared Peter Garvock to the Scot- tish national : emblem,' and had once: fought with him hecause` of -having suggested to him "Wha deur meddle wi' rate" as a suitable family; motto for The Trees!

"It does fit me," said Alicia, laugh- ing as she thought of the "little bit. more of everything she had had to eat.

"It would keep her mighty busy cooking," said Alicia. HIGH CHAIRS. When our small son was large enough to eat at the table with us, we had to meet the problem of how to make his chair the proper height; for the high chair which he had been us- ing up to that time did not look at all well in our dining room and we were much opposed to the usual sofa Send 15c in silver for our up-to- date p to - date Fall and Winter 1924-1925 Book' of Fashions.

She looked over her shoul-f der at the bed of hardy annuals where I the weeds were beginning to show. I 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 ori the rightrind worked so fast that when every weed had been pulled and she again glanced at the clock she saw that it still lacked ten minutes of the luncheon hour. "I shall have time to do a little bit 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.
