Here is the matter,' she said. `Snorre finds him wounded, and &lora) goes to 1 Peter Fae's and sends Jan's wife to her husband. Margaret Vedder says she saw him alive and gave him water, and went back for Peter Fr. Then Jan disr appears,and when &loam gets back with a doctor and four other men, there is n6 Jae to be found. I say that Margaret Vedder or Peter Fae know what came of Jan, one, or both of them, know. But because the body has not been found, there hath been no inquest, and his mates L. t him go out of life like a stone dropped into the sea, and no more abotI "Thy told thee that?" 1 ." Ay, they did; anIJohn Scarpa said thou had long hated J ri., and he did ber lieve thou would rather lose Jan's life than save it. Yea, indeed !" " And thou ?» ' "1 said some angry words for thee. III thou has been to Jan, cruel and un- just, but thou did not murder him. • I do not think thou would do that, even though thou were sure no man would know it. If I had believed thou hurt a hair of Jan's head, I would not be thy servant to -day." "Thou judgest right of me, Snorro. 'I harmed not Jan. I never saw him. I did not want him brought to my house, and therefore I made no haste to go and 'help him; but I hurt not a hair of his head." '"1 will maintain that everywhere, and to all." • "What do they think came of Jan?" " What else, but that he was pushed over the cliff -edge? A very little push would put him in, the sea, and the under -currents between here and the Vor Ness might carry the body far from the shore. All • think •that he hath been drowned." Then Peteraurned away and sat down, silently and greatly distressed. . A new and terrible suspicion had entered his mind with Snorro's words. He was quite sure of his own innocence, but had Margaret pushed Jan over ? From her own words,it was evident she had been angry and hard with him. Was this the cause of the frantic despair he had witnessed. It struck him then that Margaret's mother had ever been cold and silent, and almost resentful about . the matter. She had refused to talk of t it Her whole behavior had been sus- picious. He at brooding over the n _ thought, sick at heart with the sin and c shame it involved, tmtil Snorro said-- 1 It is time to shut the door." Then he b put on his cloak and went home. o n Home I How changed his home had .1 become ! Itwasa place of silence and tti tuaconfessed sorrow. All its old calm h restfulness had gone. Very soon after t Jan's disappearaace, Thora had taken f to her bed, and she had never left it fi since. Peter recasnized that she was s dying, and this eight he missed her h Sorely. Her quiet love and silent sym- h pathy had been for many a year a tower h of strength to him. But he cou'd not r carry this troeble to her, still less did s he care to say anything to Margaret. n For the first time he was sensible of a a, feeling of irritation ia her presence. Her white despairing face angered him. For 037 all this trouble, in one way or auother, she was responsible. . a He felt, too, that full of anxiety as he et was, she was hardly listening to a word ti he said. Her ears were strained to catch in the first movement of her child, who was h sleeping in the next room. To every th one he had suddenly become of small h importance. Both at home and abroad fi he felt this, To such bitter reflections si he smoked his pipe, while Margaret soft- s ly sung to her babe, and Thora, with hi) dosed eyes, lay slowly breathing her life fie away ; already so far from this world, si that Peter felt as if it would be cruel sel- fishness to trouble her more with its st wrong and its anxieties. co Four days afterward, Thora said to a her daughter : "Margaret I had a, token ag early this morning. .I saw a glorious di. ship comp sailing toward me. Her m sails were whiter than snow under the th moonshine; and a -C her bow stood my ti boyaWillie, my eldast boy, and he smiled ise and beckoned me. • I shall ge away With the next tide. Ere I go, thou tell me something?" " Whatever thou ask me." "What came of poor Jan Vedder ?" Then Margaret understood the shadow that had fallen between herself and her mother; the 'chili which had repressed all conversation; the silent terror which had perchande hastened death, "Oh, mother !" she cried, " did thou really have this fear? I never harmed Jan. I 'eft him. on the cliff. God knows I speak the truth. I know no mare." a " Thank God I Now I can go in peace." Margaret had fallen on her It'inees by the bedside, and Thora leaned forward and kissed her. " Shall I send for father?" "He will come in time." - A few hours aftera.'ard she said in a voice already far away, as if she had called back from a long distance, "When Jan returns be thou kinder to him, Mar- garet." " Will he come back ? - Mother, tell me !'" . But there was no answer to the yearn- ing cry. Never another word from the soul that had now cast earth behind it. Peter came home 'early, and stood gloomily and sorrowfully beside his companion. Just wherathe tide turned, he saw a momentary - light flash over the still face, a thrill of Joyful recogni- tion, a sigh of peace, lest:tatty followed by the pallor, and chill, and loneliness of death. At the last the end had come sudden- ly-, Peter had certainly known that his wife was dying, but he lied not dreamed ofher slipping oir her mortal vesture so ra idly. He was shocked to find how k17) mach i of his own life would g� with her. Nothing could ever be again just as it had been. It troubled him also that there had been no stranger present. The Minister ought to - have been sent for, and some two or three of Mora's_ old acquaintances. There was fresh food for suspicion in Thera, Fite being allowed to pass out of life just at this time, with none but her husband and daughter near, and without the consola- tion of religious rites. Peter asked Margaret angrily,why she had neglected to send for friends and. for the minister? "Mother was no worse when thou went to the store this morning. About noon she fell asleep, and knew nothing af erward. It wouki have been cruel to di turb her." i3ut in - her own heart Margaret was col!iscions that under' any circumstances she would have shtunk from bringing strangers into the bouse. Since Jan's disappearance, she,had been but once to kirk, for that °nee had been an ordeal .most painful and huMiliating. None of her old friends had speken to her; many had even pointedly ignored. her. Wo- men excel in that negative punishment which they deal out to any sister whom they conceive to have 'deserved it. In a 'score of Ways Margaret -Vedder had been made to feel that she was under a ban of disgrace and suspicion. .- Some of this humilation had not escap- ed -Peter's keen, observation a but at the thne he had.regarded it as a 'part of the ill -will which he also was eonsciously suffering from, and which he was shrewd enough to assoeiate. with the tnystery surrounding the fate of ' his son-in-law. Connecting it with What Snort° had said, he took it for further proof against his daughter. -Thora'S silence aod evident - desire to be left tb herself, 'Ate also corroborative. Did Tlibra also suspect her? Was Margaret afraid 4) bring the. minister, lest at the Iast Thera might say something? For the sahie reason . had Thora's old intimates been kept away? Sometimes the dying reveal things- unconsciously; was Margaret afraid of this ? - When since saspicion is aroused, everything feeds it.1 Twenty- four hours after the first doubt had en- tered Peter's heart, he had. almost con- vinced himself that Margaret as respoh- e sible for Jan's death. , .He remembered then the st ries inthe Sagas of the fair, fierce wo en of Mar- garet's race. A few centuries previously they had ruled things with a sigh hand, and had seldom scrupled to urder the husbands who did not reali etheir ex- ecta,tions. He -knew someth isg of Mar- garet's feelings by his own; h r wound- ed self-esteem, her mortificati n at Jan's failures,' her anger at her p verty and loss of money, her contempt f?r her own position. If she had been a man, he could almost have exeusedherfor killing Jan ; that is, if she had donel it in fair fight. But crimes which:are [unwoman- ly - in their nature shock t le hardest heart, and it was unwomanly o kill the man she had loved and chose , and the father of her child.; it was, a le all, a cowardly, base deed to thrust a,. wound- ed Man out of life. He tried o believe his daughter.incapable of Such a deed, but there were many hours in which he houghtthe very worst of her. • Margaret had no idea that her father, ursed such suspicions; she felt only the hanae a,ndseparation between them. Her nother's doubt had .been a cruel blow tie er ; she had never been able to speak f it to her father. That he shared it, ever occurred to her. She was wrapped p in her own sorrow and shathe, and at ie bottom of her heart inclined to blame erfather for much of the trouble be - her and Jan. If he iad dealt L airly with Jan after the first summer's shing, Jan would never have een with kager. - And bow eager' he had been to reak sip her home ! After all, Jan had een the injured man; he Ought to have ad some of her tocher down. A little eady money would have made him atisfied and happy ; her life and happi- • ese had been sacrificed to her father's variee. She was sure now that if the ears could be. called. bail, she would be n Jan's. side with all her hearts: Two souls Haim/ under the .aame roof nd nursing such living against ea.ah her were not likely to be happy. If ley had ever coins ' to open-recrim- ation, things uncertain might have een explained.; but, for the Most part, ere ayes only. silence in Peter's Ouse. Hour after hour, he sat at the reside, and neve spoke to Margaret. ii le grew almos :hysterical uuder the ell or this ireesponsible trouble. Per- aps she understood then why Jan had d to Torr's kitchen to escape her own milar exhibitious of dissatisfaction. As thernonths wore On, things in the ore gradually- sresunied their normal rndition. Jae . was a....i, Peter was ving, the tide of popalarfeeling tamed - &in. Undoubtedly, 'however, it was, meted by the minister's positive, al- ost angry, refusal to 4sk Peter • before. e kirk sessioa to explain his connec- on with -Jan's disappearance. 1 He had ver gene much to Peter's store, but for a tune he showed his conviction of Peter's innocence by going every day to sit with him. ' it was Supposed, of course, that he bad talked the affair thoroughly. over with Peter, and_ Peter did try at various times to intro- duce the subject.. . But every 1 such at- tempt was met by a refusal -in some sort on the minister's part. : Once only he listened to his complaint ' of the public 1 injustice. - i . , . "Thou cannot control the wind, Peter," he said in reply; "stoop ;and let it pass over thee. I believe and am sure thy bands are clear of Jan's blood. As to hos far thou art otherwise guilty concerning him, that is between God and thy conscience., But It me say, if I were asked to -call thee before the ksirk session on the count of unkindness and injustice, I would not feel it to be my duty to. refuse to do so" Having said this xi-meta:elle put the matter out of their conversation; but 'still such a visi- ble ham,an support in his dark hour was a great comfort to Peter. It was,a long and dreary winter. It is amazing`how long time can be when Sorrow counts the hours. Sameness, too, adds to grief; there was nettling to vary the days. i)largaret went to bed every night full of that despairing op- pression which hopes nothing froin the morrow.: Even when the _ spring came again her life had the same uniform gray tinge. Peter. had his 'fisheries to look forward to, and by the end of May , he had apparently quite recovered himself. Then he beganto be a little more pleas- ant and talkative to his. daughter. He asked himself why he should any longer let the Wraith of Jan Vedder trouble his life? • At the last he had gone to help him e if he were not there to be helped, that was not his- fault. As for Margaret, he knew nothing'p sitiyely against her. Her grief and a azement had seemed. genuine at the Cm ; very likely it was; .at any rate, it was etter to bury for- ever the memory() a man so inimical to the pealee and happ ness of the Fans. The fishing seaso 1 helped 111111.0 carry out this resolution; His hands were full. His store was croN ded. There- were a hundred things tha only Peter could do for the fishers. Jan wasr quite fergotten in the press and hurry of abusier season than,Lerwick ha.d ever seen. Peter was again .the old buetling, conseauential potentate, the most popular man in the town, and the most necessary. He cared. little that Tulloch still tefused to meet • him ; he only smiled when Suneva Glumm refused to let him weigh her tea and sugar: and waited for Michael Snorro. • Perhaps Suneva's disdain did annoy him a little, No man likes to be scorn- ed by a good and pretty woman. It Certainly recurred to Peter's. mind more often than seemed necessary, and, made him for a moment shrug his shOUlders impatiently, and mutter a word or two to himself. One lovely moonlight night, when the boats were all at sea, and the townnear- ly deserted, Peter took his pipe and rambled out for a walk. He was long- ing for some womanly sympathy, and had gone home with several little mat- ters on his heert to talk over with Mar- garet. But unfortunately the child had a feverish cold, and how could she pa- tiently listen to fishermen's squabbles, and calculatioas of the various "takes," a5hen her boy was fretful and suffering? So Peter put en his bonnet, and with his pipe in his mouth rambled over the moor. He had not gone far before he met Suneva Glumm. Under ordinary circumstances he would have let her pass him, but to -night he wanted to talk, and even•Satieva was welcome. He sud- denly determiaed "to have it out With her," and without ceremony he called to' her. "Let me speak to thee, Suneva; I have something to say." She turned • and faced him: "Well thenasay it." "What haae I done to get so much of thy ? I, that have been friends with thee since I used to lift thee over the counter and give thee a sweetlozen- ger ?" . "Thou did treat poor Jan Vedder so badly. "And what is Jan Vedder to thee; that thou must lift his quarrel?" "He was my friend, then." "And thy lover, perhaps. I have heard that he loved thee before he ever saw my Margaret when she was at school in Edinburgh." " Thou hest heard lies thein; but if Ile had loved me and if I had been his wife, Jan had 'seen a good man this day; good and loving. Yes, indeed !" "Art thou sure he is dead ?" "Peter Fae, if any one can answer that question, thou can; thou and thy daughter Margaret." "1 have heard thou hast said this be- fore now." "Ay, Lhave said it often, and I think it." "Now, then, listen to me, and see how thou has cone me wrong." pleaded his own cause, it with such cleverness hat Suneva quite acquit - Then Peter and he pleade and eloquence -ted him.
