JAN VEDDER'S WIFP.
-7----"--
. Bit AMEteiA E. 13AR1.
(Continued from last week.)
CHAPTER XII.
Whea Jan was a few years older Peter
ty.
intended t� propos to pay for his edu-
cation. " We'll se4d him to Edinburgh,
Su'neva," he frece ntly said, " and we
will grudge nothing that is for. his wel-.
fare.". •
And Aurieva, whoi had carefully fos-
tered this echeme, wituld reply, "That
is whet I have -always said, Peter. It is
a poor faMily that has not one gentle-
man in it, and, please God and thy
pocket -book, we will make a gentleman
and a irdnitter of our little Jan ;" and
the thoeght. of his grandson filling, al pul-
pit satisfieelPeter's highest a,nibitiop.
So, thbuah there bad beep .no visiting
between the two houees, there were fre-
quent tokeos of courtesy and good -will,
and Margaret, passing through the town,
and seeing her fatherlat his shop -door,
stopped to speak to him. :
" Wherelast thou been, and where is
th Y boy?" he asked.
"Ife is at home with Edge. I 'have -
been to read with Mary Venn • she in,
failing fast; and not long for tbislife."
As they spoke Tulloch approached,
and, with a cold bow to Peter, turned
to Margaret and said, "1 will walkiwith
thee, Mistress Vedder, as I have eorne
business matter to ' speak of." Then,
after they had turned to Margaret'e
home: "It was about the seven hundred
pounds placeci to thylcredit a few days
since. I ivill count the interest from
1
the first of the month." • '
Margaret was .completely amazed.
"Seven hundred pounds !",she said, in
a low trembling VOiCO. "1 know noth-
ing about it. Sere -1y thou art dreaming,
Who.brought it to thee ?" I
"Dr. Balioch. He said it was , con
science monet-2 and not to be talked
About. I Suppose thy father sent it, for
It is Wal knowirthat he made his will a
few days ago." I
Margaret, however, did not believe
that it was her father. She was sure
Jan had seut the money. It was her
£600, with £100 for interest. And oh,
how it pined her! Somewhere on
earth - Jan was alive, and he would
neither come to her, nor write to her.
He sent her gold instead of love, as if
gold were aa she wanted. He eould
scarcely have couttived a more creel
revenge, she thought. For once she ab-
solutely hated motley; but it put into
her mind a purpose which would not
leave it. If Saone) could find Jan, she
could. The money Jan had sent she

August, Dr. Balloch asked her to answer
for him a ' letter which he had received.
from Lord Lynne. She noted the ad-
dress carefully. It was in —Hyde Perk,
Landon. Very well, she would go to
London. Perhaps she would be nearer
to Jan if she did. • ,
She had nownearlY £1,000 of her own
If she spent every farthing of it in the
search and failed, she yet felt that she
would be happier far having made the
effort.- The scheme took entire posses-.
sion of . her, and the difficulties in the
way of its accomplishment *only made
her more stubbornly determined. The
first, was that of reaching the 'mainland
without epcountering opposition. She
was sued that bath her father and Dr:
Balloch veguld endeayor to dissuade her;
she feared they Would influence her

August, the mail boats would be irregu-

a day to he lost.
In thechnorning she eventto see Tul-
loch. He was eating his breakfast and
he was not all astonished to see her. He
thought she had come to talk to him
about the investment of her money.
" Good morning, Mistress Vedder !
Thou bast been much on my mind, thou
and thy money, and no doubt it is a
matter of some consequence what thou
will do with it.
"1 am eorne to speak to thee as a
friend, in whom I may confide a secret.
Wilt thou hear, and keep it, and give
me good advice ?" .•
"1 ,do not like to have to do with
woment's seerets, but thou art a woman
by thyaelf. Tell me all, then, hut do
not make more of the matter than it is
worth.'"
"When Jan Vedder had no other
friend, thou stood by him."
" What then? Jan was a good man.
I say that vet, and I say it to thy face,
Margaret 'Vedder. I think, too, that he
had may Wrongs.",
" I think that toce, and I shall be a
miserable woman until I have found Jan,
and can ten him to his face how sorry I
am. Se then, I am 'going away to find
him." - •
"What art them talking of; Poor
Jan is dead.. I am sure that is so."
" I am eure it is not so. Now let me
tell thee all." Then she went over the
circumstances which had fed her convic-,
tions, with a cies-mess and certainty
which brought conviction to Talloch's
mind elect, .
"I am Oure thou are right," he an-
swered gravely, "and I have nothing at
all to say against thy plan. It is a very
good plan if it has good mapao-einent.
Now, there where will thou go first ?"
"1 hare Lord Lynne's address in
London. 1 will go first of all to him.
Jan eent •aci that money I am sure. It
must hay been a person of wealth enct
power wlio helped him to make such a
sum; Or he must have lent Jen the
money. I think this person was Lord
Lynne."
"1 think that too. Now about thy
money ?"
"I will take it with me. Money in
the pocket ie a ready friend."
" No, it will be a great care to thee.
The best plan for thee is this ; take £50
in thy re cket, and I will give thees a
letter o credit for the balance on a
banking firm in London. - I will also
write to them, and, then,: if thou wante

say, 'I am sorry with all my heart,

Margaret yedder hoped to be more
than a hundred miles beyond Lerwick.
In the meantime Snorro had reached
Portsmouth, his journey- thither having
been ' uneventful. "The Retribution
had arrived two days before, and was
lying in dock. At the dock office a
letter which Lord Lynne had given him;
procured an admission to visit the ship,
and her tall tapering masts were polite-
ly pointed out to him. Snorro went
with rapid strides toward her, for it was

gun had been fired, there Would be diffi-

chew were at their evening mess, only
two or three sailors were to be seen.
Snorro paused a moment, for he was
trembling with emotion, and as he stood
he saw -three officers come from the
cabin. They grouped themselves on the
quarter-deck, and one of them'taller,
and more splendidly dressed than the
others, turned, and seemed to look di-

ith her commander, and he found no
ifficulty in reaching him.
Jan was still standing near the wheel
talking to his officers as Snorro ap-
proached. Now that the moment so
long watched and waited for had come,
poor Snorro could hardly believe it, and
besides, he had Been in the first glance
