CHAPTER IV (Cont'd.)
Something swam before Peter Gar-
vock's eyes—something red and awful,
which could have but one name!
,On these lands, by that very march
dyke, there had, in old days, been
strife between Stair and The Lees;
and where strife had been there may
be strife again! • The old blood feud
between Stair and The Lees was like
to have a fresh chapter added to its
bitter story.
Alan Rankine, not recognizing his
cousin for a few minutes, came strid-
ing on, but not blithely, for his own
thoughts were too complicated and too
overwhelming, but certainly without
the slightest expectation of meeting
his cousin at such an hour, in such a
place. He was thinking of him, natur-
ally picturing him at the Clock House
with 'Carlotta, trying,perhaps, to im-
ters stand, but I kept the last card up
my sleeve—Stair is mine, to all intents
and purposes, mine! Do you heart,
And I'll keep it hard and fast! You
can go and earn your bread where
you like—you and Judy and Claud!
And when you are finding it a tough
job to get food and shelter out there,
in the world that you have supposed to
exist for you, perhaps you'll find that
it hardly peid you to make: an enemy
of Peter Garvock!"
Alan Rankine's temper was not
fiery, and he had tried to make allow-
ances for the frightful provocation
his cousin had received; but at these
scathing, humiliating words he bit his
Hp, and the veins began to stand outs
ominously on his temples,
Seeing this, Peter Garvock's lust for
vengeance seemed to grow in intensity
and power, and he went on in the
slow, deliberate manner of the man

He spoke • the last word in a kind of
hiss, and started forward as if he
would be at his cousin's throat.
An ineffable sadness crept over
Rankine's face.

"I'll take care there is none at
Stair!" was the retort which leaped,
like a snarl, from Garvock's lips.
"You had better get out of my sight,
Stair, or there may be murder done.

But young men of Claud Rankine's
type do not need much bolstering after
the initial stage. Give them their
chance, and they make good in every
walk of life. Claud had already made
his mark at Cambridge, though he
was far too modest to talk about it
and he had no anxiety about hie
future.
The fulfilling of a long -cherished
desire had wrought a wonderful
change in the lad, developing in him,
a sunny temperament which was
constant joy to Judy. Womanlike, sh'_
had poured her chiefest devotion on
Alan, who won love as easily as he •
breathed. Just she had been and truly
kind to both brothers, because it was
not her nature to be otherwise,,but
now she was slowly learning that her
younger brother had qualities lacking
in the elder.
