I Meanwhile old Donald had bee out of doors, seeing to his own work with the beasts, and about the farm uild- ings, and when he returned to the house his habitual cautiousness seemed t have returned with him.. "Yon had the skull, Mary 7" he ask- ed. • "Yes, master. I have put it in a safe place but I can bring yo4," "I don't want to see it again you're surerit's the same skull, I'm thinking that it might be on elsewhere." "It's the one that you bid me you, Mr. Madame, and it's frog Macdonald's tomb in the old chu aside, it to But Ylary from fetch the oh at Saddell. I took it from under th arch, and I carried it all the way here.' And then she told hint the cilium - stances under which she had obtained it, and•the mysterious sounds th t. she had heard in the old church. "It's a strange tale," said old D nald. "I'm doubting the facts, Mary." "If ye'll go there-," she replied; )"ye'll find all the facts, Mr. Macbane." Then he said, "I'll take ye at your word, -Mary ; it's broad daylight now, and the storm is blown over. I thought that Jock MacPhail -this was hisfarm- ing man °might have been keeping Hogmanay ;: but he's corns to the work, and I'll go away to Saddell, and he shall go with me, for an eye -witness of the facts. And. we'll prove your words, Mary Mori° ;fin and we shall see if there are your tracks iu the snow right'up to the old church ; and I'm thinking, my lass, thatas likely ae not we shall find the true murderer's skall on the great Macdonald's tomb." "I took the skull from there,,Mr. Maabane ; it's all true that I've) told nue" "Ay, ay, we'll see, Mary, we'll Isee 1" *Aid old Donald. And soon after she saw him, in company with Jock iMac- Phail, 'plodding up the hillside, and taking that snowy path to Saddell, along which she had so bravely labored during the long hours of the preceding night. It was afternoon on that New ear's day before old Donald returned to len- barr, for, vigorous though he was, yet the elasticity of youth was past, ad he had been compelled to rest several Imes -by the way. Not only did his to an, Jock MacPhail, return with hind, lent his son Donald also, greatly to Mary's surprise. Her lover soon explained it to' her : "I met them, quite accidentally, be- tween here and Saddell. I learnt 'what they were after, and I went with them to see fair play." I "But, Donald," she said ; "you are back from the fair a day earlier than you expected?" 1 "Yes," he replied ; "I sold the beasts, and I did all the business that I want- ed. And besides -I had a dream, a bad. dream ; it was about you, Mary. I thought you had gone down into some dreadful charnel house, though 1 yon were not dead ; and I was disturbed that greatly that nothing would pacify me but to hasten back to Glenberr;, and know that you were safe, and that my evil dream was an empty vision.'" I - And. then, between those soft oth- ings that lovers delight in after aa ab- sence, however brief -and this parting had, for them, been a long one+ -she toldhim how very near his drea m had been of coming true ; and that she, during the night, had been really among the graves and relics of the dead. Yes, he knew all about it. That casual meeting with his father, so un- expectedy, had led to the needful ex- planation, and he had retraoed'his steps with them to the old ruined monas- tery at Saddell, to be a witness, on his true love's behalf, to what they saw there. "And," continued young Do,> :aid, "when we got to the old church, and found the door shut, just as you p had left it, and burst it open, what do you suppose wefound there 7" "Not -ghosts?" she faltered. I "Well," replied. young Donald, du- biously, "certainly they may_ have been called something else than ghosts, for they had hoofs, and not a few of them had horns. Yet, they were not uncanny creatures for all that. They were deer, a number of wild deer; who. had evi- dently pushed their way into the old church toseek shelter from the now stone., and then, when they had well frightened you, my poor darling, with their moanings and rushings about, they tried to make their escape but you effectually stopped them by slam- ming the door in their faces. There, at any rate, we three found them, and very pleased they seemed when we let them out." "And did you find that skull on the old tomb ?" "No ! we found your footmarks there, and the place' where your plaid had swept the snow from the slab ; but the skullwas gone." "And here it is," she `said, trium- phantly, as she produced it from • the place where she had put it for safety,. "It'sa strange thing for a love -token, Donald, or for a New Year's gift, but I went through all I did to gaie it, for your dear sake." Then h.er lover took her in his arms. "And I have brought a Hogmanay, gilt for you, dear," and from a dainty little' box he produced a cairngorm brooch, with which she might fasten her shawl or plaid when she went to kirk on the Sabbath ; and from a still smaller box, which, in her eyes at least, Looked far daintier than4the , other -he showed her a plain gold ring,. which fitted the third finger of her left hand, "for," as he said, "there's no knowing what may happen, and how soon we may want to use it-" Then he vowed to her, amid many kiss- es, that she needed not such a, cruel test to have been put upon her affection by his father's stern will ; and that, come what might., he would marry her as soon as their bauue or spurrings could be put up, without waiting for May -day. And he did so, she being quite agree- able to the same, and no longer bonud to Mr. Mebane as his servant ; for the stern old father, taking a lesson by the events of that well -remembered night on tore last day of the old year, and thankful for his escape from any evil that, through him, might have befallen Mary Morrison, gave his consent to her marriage with his son, and, with the promise that they would still continue to live with him at the farm, divided his fortune with them. On the wedding day, Janet Bailie, who was her bridemaid, told Mary, in strict confidence, that it would not e i many months before she followed h r example, for that she had proised be married to the young miller t Mu s - dale, who had been so long pay ng h r attention. And, to add to the °bents of the happy day, the laird of Saddt li, w o had been told of that midnight 'visit of Mary Morrison . to the, old Ichur h, alanghtered a fine buck that had lay d his part on that occasion, and s t h' m over as a gift to Mary, in orderha a haunch of 'venison might gr c t e wedding -feast of the Brave Girl of GI n- barr. , Incidents of Pioneer Lif in Canada, by the Late arrett Oakes.
