Love Gives Itself THE STORY OF A BLOOD'FEUD 13Y ANNIE S. SWAN.., "Love gives itself and is not bought." --Longfellow. 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. fficer,s. Affery had a way with the officers, and their own luggage was passed practically untouched. The whole af- fair appeared to Rankine largely a travesty, es well as an unnecessary exhibition. • bQafse ]his srz'.s fat.

Rankine was on the point of says 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., ed with the boarding-house kept' by Mrs, Isaaestein to which he was in- troduced on I+"orty-second. Street, and only the od.d personal spell Affery eac- etcised over hith induced him to enter it.

Her house' had points unknown and unshared by - any others he struck. But it was so different from any- thing in the way of a public hostlery he had ever made use •of, that it can readily be understood how he shrank from it.

Bute realising that for the present he had n that a was hrabab1 no choice, ad p y wise in standing aside ,and allowing Affery 'to arrange matters for hint, he said he would be glad to look at the sixth -floor . room. He liked..it. It was near the roof, -and had the complete advantage of be- ing cut ofl,: in some considerable de- gree, from the particularly involved odors permeating the rest of Mrs. Isaacstein's establishment. While he was contemplating the cheap furniture and the • somewhat unsteady -looking bedstead, Affery. made a swift bargain en the landing. outside. 'Finally' he came in and closed the door. e "See here, Rankine. You take my tip, and stop here. 'She's a very de- cent sort. She"ll take you, on niy recomniendation, for seven dollars a week, which includes breakfast and supper. 'You find your own mid-day. 'meal at ene of the.qu'ck-lunch coun- ters.

"Is that the class who frequent the house?" asked Rankine rather dryly, imagining that Affery was taking re,- ther :such for granted where he was concerned. -"There, are all sorts.
