CHAPTER XIX.— (Cont'd.)
"Not till to -day, I think. Mrs.
Somebody, calling at The Lees told
them.. I believe Sillars was the name.
The Professdr has gone, and I follow
to -morrow. I'm going to sleep at the
Station Hotel to -night, otter I get all
the stuff out. Your mother was very
kind—she asked me up to The Lees!
to seep, Pet—I mean Mr. Garvock."
"Please call me Peter," he said
gruffly. "I like it. And I hope you
will come up to The Lees. If you will
tell ins when you wilt be ready to
leave the Clock House I'll send a ear -1
fi
age from the
hotel.'
"Oh, how very good of you! Well,
I think I will come," said Mrs. Car-
lyon, pleased with the little attention,
and not at all concerned as to whe-
ther she ought to decline it in the cir-
cwnstances. "I'm not fond of hotels.
I got •a pretty good dose of them in
my touring days; ,though these, of
course, were not very classy ones. I
suppose you have heard the reason
why we are leaving 'Ayr?"'
Peter shook his head.
"Carlotta has gone on the stage!"
raid Mrs. Carlyon hastily; and at the
same time narrowly observing him, to
see how he would take the news. "She
has gone on as leading lady, with our
old friend, Graham Madox. And if
you ask me, Mr. Garvock, I should say
that's good-bye to matrimony. The
kind of actress Carlotta is going to
be has not time for that sort of thing
in her life."
Peter Garvock's face flushed some-
what painfully, and, though intensely
interested, he did not seek to pursue
the subject, but turned it off by ask-
ing, again when he might order the
carriage from the Station Hotel..
So that night the feud between Stair
and The Lees had another precious
little bit added to it. •
it was toed with great gusto how
Mrs. Carlyon had spent her last night
in Scotland under the roof -tree of The
Lees, and, further, had been driven
to the station next morning in the
brougham,in company with Peter
Garvock, who showed her as much
solicitous attention as if nothing had
happened and she was going to be
his mother-in-law after all!
CHAPTER XX.
AN OASIS IN TIME DESERT.
In due course the great steamer ar-
rived at New. York Harbor.
As time was then no object to the
particular couple of passengers in
whom we are interested, they had
leisure and opportunity of watching
the frantic efforts of those less 'for-
tunate:4 situated to get out of the
clutches of the Customs. For some
dark and mysterious reason; there bad
suddenly been an access of great ac-
tivity and watchfulness in the Cus-
toms Department, and examinations
which aforetime were conducted more
or less perfunctorily were now gone
into thoroughly, to the confusion of a
considerable sprinkling of the saloon
passengers.
The delinquents were prindppally
women; and Rankine and. A.#iery,
standing by, had the felicity of behold-
ing colossal stacks of female apparel
held up by inexorable Customs offi-
cers.

They had riot again alluded to the ing he would try elsewhere, but a look
from Affery deterred him. After
conversation on the moonlit deck.
Once or -twice in the last hours they
had spent together on the ship, Ran-
kine wondered whether he had dreanf-
ed it all, or whether Affery had been
romancing first and last. -
Suddenly, as if divining his thought,
Affery flashed one of his side -glances
at him,
"We're going to a decent boarding-
house I used to know on Forty-second
Street. It's; central, respectable, and
cheap. Kept by a daughter of Ismael..
When they're good, they're very good.
I shall stop till to -morrow night; then
take the West -bound express. You'll
stop, I • suppose, indefinitely.
"I suppose so. Or, at least, until
I have got a look round."
"And trot out your intros—then
you'll see how much good they are.
We'Il meet later on, 1 expect, and com-
pare New York notes, ,But you'd bet-
ter not stop as long as I did, nor try
as many berths. It's better, en the
whole, to have a line and to stick to
it. What's yours going to he?"
Rankine drew out his rather fat
pocket -book which he had'been study-
ing off and on with considerable anx-
iety during the closing hours of the
voyage. It contained the usual type
of letters of introduction; one from
his lawyer to a firm of equal stand-
ing in New York;'ene from David Sil-
lars, written in }pencil in the train,
where he had met Rankine journeying
up to Glasgow foe the last time; and
two from other Ayrshire friends more
or less vaguely expressed. One of
them, considerably to Rankine's dis-
gust, had been sealed; for which rea-
son, and acting on Affery's instruc-
tions, he had tossed it into the sea.
As it happened eventually, lie had in
a moment of pique, thrown away the
only thing that, in New_ York city,
would have bean of the smallest use to
him.
Letters of introduction are of var-
ious kinds, butt -these are very few
worth the paper they are written on.
Most persons who have been reduced
to snaking use of them have proved
them humiliating, in some cases dam-
aging to any �pa rticular cause they
had at heart. Why the custonnof ask-
ing them and writing them has not.
fallem;•lnto desuetude it is not passible
to understand. There is nothing - in
• this world to be had without payment,
and very often the person who''t rites
the letter of introduction knows per-
fectly well the futitlity o:Lwhat he
is doing, It creates, in the mend of
the person to whom it is presented, a
feeling of irritation which it is hardly
possible to put, into words. Mostly the
recipient is powerless to oder the kind
of perinan,ent help or service desired
and expected and the utmost he can
do is to speak a word of casual kind-
ness, offer a meal, or some other half-
hearted hospitality.
Affery, who knew the ropes of city
life and all the tortuous ways of the
office -seeker, felt a profound pity for
his fellow -traveller. But realizing
' that he must find his own feet, and
arrive at his level in common with
the rest of humanity, he now proposed
to leave him severely to his own re-
sources.
"Leave 'ern in their ccsy corner till
after I've cleaned," he • said, with a
glance of good natured seorn at the
fat pocket -book, eTn t for four -and•
twenty hours you and me will do our-
selves proud, at my expense. I'll show
you New York afore I quit it for
ever."
Rankine was not favorably impress.,

Mrs, Isaaestein to which he was in-
troduced on I+"orty-second. Street, and

concerned.
