HE
HE BRAVJ 1 GIRL OF
GLENBARR.
- `'` Mary Morrison will wed wi' me,
I'll wed. no other l" This. wasoung,
Donald's decision. And the hand)onsa,
stalwart young Highlander looked as
though he intended to carry intoleffect
those few words that he had spoken en to
his father in Gallic.
Donald Machan was his father's
only, child; and, as his mother had died
within a few days of his birth, brehad
never known any other parent than his
stern father.
A hard man was the elder D nald,
ruling those about him with an iron
wilt,and intent. only upon. imp: ooing
his mall farm to its utmost cape ility,
so that he might leave it to his so as a
goodly heritage. By its aid, young
Donald might, in time,, be so raised
above the humble surroundings of his
father's early days, that he might . al-
most pass as a laird.
But that this scheme reight be ifully
carried out, it was needful that hi son
should be married to a girl who had i
money or land, of her own, and wh
world customs, inlading those of
"first foot," the wassail bowl, and
gnizards.
Donald's. attendance at this Ho
nay Fair necessitated his absence
Glenbarr during e�everal days, and
one of the few i portant events O
twelve months th "t made a ; than
the ordinary mon tony of their e
day life.
He had said go d -bye to Mary, pl
ising to bring her `a Hogmanay frli:
and hoping that h s gift to her w

On the last evening of the old 3e
Bold Donald was sitting by the peat fi
on the hearth, in front of which L
his faithful collie, had stretched
self in luxurious ease. On the o

thought of ; and the future owner :f the
small farm on the hillside in theBarr
Glen must be mated with a maiden who
was similarly circumstanced as regaxd-

And such a girl was to be found s ith-
in a mile or two. For, on the oposite
side of the glen, on the other side o

lion followed his father in having a
termined will of hist own and that
when he had made that resolution i•e-
garding Mary Morrison, he would west
assuredly abide by it, and carry it into
effect. . Yes, it wculd have to be, and all
his dearly loved plans would be thwa:
ed, unless he could devise some schen
to get the girl out of the way.
He had much talk with his son
the subject; he pie dad the cause
Janet Baillie, and sag the praises
Clachanaigs ; but he found, as he hf
expected, that all his talk and all his
pleadings ledd to no ,farther result than
making young Donald the more resolv-
ed in his intention to wed rio other th
Mary. Morrison.
"We are plighted to each other," he
said in. Gaelic ;- "and we are only wait-
ing till next lilay, when her time of ser-
vice will be over. We shall then be
married, ; and, if you do not like us to
live here and help you on the farm, we
+hall turn our backs on Glenbarr, and
go away to a home of, our own. We are
strong and healthy, and we love one
another ; .and, please ,God, we can earn
our livelihood quite es well together es
if we were apart. I have nothing to
say against Janet Baillie. She is z
good girl, and I hope will get a good
man for her husband ; but she is not
Mary Morrison." •
Then old Donald said no more; but
- he hardened his heart against his ser-
vant, and he was determined, by fair
means or foul, to prevent her from
marrying his son.
There was at least six months for
him wherein to plot and plan, and
something might occur, in that interval,
to favor his wishes- Until next May,
Mary Morrison would be his servant.
and she could not leave her situation
without his consent.
The lin; evenings of winter had now
come on, and the yeat) was hastening to
Re close. The' range of hills that
stretched their length to I3einu-an
Trani'• were covered with snow, and it
lay df eply down iu the hollows of the
glen. In the last week of the year the
younr er Donald had left Glenbare to go
to a great cattle fair that was to be
held in the northern part of the coun-
try, which fair lasted over the two last
days of the old year and the first day of
the new year, which day went by the
name of Hogmanay, and was celebrated
with much rejoicing and ,many old-
