He had been touohed by the finger of God, and so set apart from the vneked, anxious world. . And truly none of Mein or loorl row seemed to touch him. He wee fah - to look upon, and gentle in his ways, and clung to Jean as a nursing babe to its mother. The twa were never apart. In the dairy and about her household work, Jean kept him close beside her. When she spun he lay on the oarpet at her feet, and watched the whirring wheel. He was with her in the garden and on the moor, and in church he sat still -and wondering by her side—a pa tient, harraless boy e whom every one pitied and loved. - Every one but Robert Graham; and in his heart grew up slowly, but mutely, a wretched anger against the 'child. He W&8 hardly conscious of the feeling, but he bad wally been jealous .of the boy be- fore his accident. To Robert, his exis- tence at all was He unnecessary and in- convenient. In a vague kind of way he was always thinking, "If Jean had no brother." He never dared to follow out the thought, but there it lay in some chamber of his soul, felt, and making, life ashuslied regret. After Matthew's death the regret be- came a more tangible one. He found himself, as he walked over the hills counting his own sheepeadding the Pro- moter flocks to them, and wishing "that boy did not stand between him ttnd Jean." One evening, in the August fol- lowing her father's death, as he came down the fell, he saw Jean in the wheat field among the reapers. As she etraightened herself, and stood beside the sheaves, he could nothelp thinking how grand and handsome she looked. "There's few worthy o' her," he mutter- ed, but among that few he certainly put himself first. And in Mere physical beauty he was jean's equal. As far as size and strength went he was a young Hercules. But his face, though hand- some enough, betrayed a weak soul; and God knows how easy it is for weak- ness to beeome wickedness. He believed that he loved Jean, and, perhaps, in all his best moments, he did love her. But he often felt her -supet- iority, and the feeling irritated. him. Now, watching her in the harvest field, he was happy for a few minutes in the sight of her beauty, and the knowledge of her love. ; But very soon a frown darkened his face: he had seen Jean stoop and kiss the , little fellow lying among the sheaves, and be hated him aa he had never done before. "Eight hupdred sheep and the bonnie land, and the gude house, and an idiot between me and. them! It's just shame- feand Jean will hae to come to her un- derstanding soon. I'll e'en speak to her the nicht.' So- be went down to her, smiling, with both »nds outstretched, and Jean, who leved him as her own life, took them, with proud and gracious ladness. Then be spoke to Jamie, but e 'child dropeind his hand, and clung, with a cry, closer to Jean's skirt. "He grows queerer every day, Jean." "Nay, you are wrang there, Robert. Fol a" say that he is far mair noticing thaiti he V; fi.B. I'm in the mind to carry him to Edinburgh; there are some won- derfni doctors there, I hear tell." "And they charge wonderfif prices, too, Jean." • "Ay, weel, Jamie iana poor, Robert. His fayther left Biller enough for the dootore." The words were not lost on Robert, but he said no more at the time. The soft gloaming was an hour too sweet for love to lose, He pleaded his own rights in it, and pleaded them well. Never had he seemed. to Jean so dear and se desirabk. She hid him in to sulsper, and while Phemie laid the table she went to her roorn and came back looking wonderfully handsome in her Mack dress and snowy kerchief and apron) Robert rose and kissed her,and led her to the table, taking himself the chair which Matthew had always used. Never a favorite with Phemie, this act reused in her heart a deep anger. She took- Ja-mie's hand and led him into the kitchen, and was crying over the lad, when she heard Jean asking for her brother. , "I thought young maister would be in the way," she answered, sullenly, with a pointed emphasis upon the word ‘rmaister." "Phemie, yen knew better. Bring Jamie here." The-Oar:ale took a stubborn fit, and would not come, and them was quite an angry i scene, which left Phemie tn. uraphent, and Jean tearful, and gave Robert the opportunity he had been seeking. "Jean, love," he said, tenderly, "you hae e'er much to do and to thole wi' that Weary boy, and that °rabbit auld wife, and the whole charge o' the farm. I ken I told your fayther wouldna seek your ]hand till I had a hame to offer yen. But there's been changes, and you wouldna care to leave the auld house, , and I'm doing weel, Jean—and I love you, lass, dearly. Why should we wait beyond the year that'a due to your fay- ther' S name?" jean was a clear-headed woman, if she Was iu love, and she knew what this p4roposa,1 meaut ; that she should bringRobert to the farm house, and make him virtually manager of all. And if that was Robert's desire he must understand clearly what place alone he could fill there. So she auswered steadily, "The little lad never wearies Me, Robert, and the farm is easy man- aged,' for I hae the best o' servants, and, when it's right for me to marry, the lad I maery will doubtless hae to content himself itt this house—if Jamie likes ; for tlie house is Jamie's, and I am here, you ken, 'as his guerdiau and trustee." "That's fair nonsense, Jean. He's just incapable,' and the law would pass him o'er wi' a miiiutenance ; and the house and the farm and the plenishine and the, steck are a' your aim" "Xot a foot o' it; not a stick o' it ; not a lamb on the hills," said Jean posi- tively, "and if inv life were needfu' to Jamie, my hfe isna mv sin either. There's them in Heaven b.a.s n2v pro - raise. for that, Rubert. My dear lad, you'llnever he the one to ask me break it ?" "No, but. Jean,"—he said it almost _ angrily, "it's a' nonsense. The boy will ne'ar be anything but a natural. and dinne like to stand second to him." "Ye stand in your ain place, Robert, first and alone.

Then Jean went in to tell Phemie. Phemie heard with a grim, unbelieving face. "Him doin' well "He'S the maist c the fells.
