"He hath a Laneas r gun, Peter."
"But 4het is not like seeing the
knife redden in the ha d. Oh, no!"
"Peter, we are 0 ristians, and not
heathen&"
"1 am, sorry if the rds grieve thee.
Often I hare wonde ed why - David
wrote saffie ef the ha d words he did
write. I wender no ore. He wrote
them against the men ho sell human
life for gold. If I wa Jan Vedder, I
would read those word every morning
to my men. The knife that is sharpen-
ed on the word of God cuts de --that
is so."
"Jan hath done Ms art welL Peter,
and I wish that he ouldesee Ills this
night. . It hath been day of blessing
to this house, and 1 a right happy to
have been coanted in it"
Then he Went away, but that night
Margaret and her son , 'ace more slept
in their old room un es- Peter Fee's
roof. It affected her to see that nothing
had been changed. A Ipair of shp,pers
stile had foi gotten still stood : by the
hearthstone. Her mo er's Bible had
been placted upon he dressing table
The geranium she had anted, was still
in the windo, ; it had een watered and
eared for, an had gra n to be a large
and ixuria-nt plant. S e thought of the
last day she had occu ied that room,
and of the many bitte hours she had
spent in it, and she ontrasted them
with theNjoy and the ho e of her return.
But when we say t ourselves, "1
will be geatelul," it is vevy seldom the
heart consents to our determination ;
and Margaret, exhauste with emotion,
was almost Shocked to find that she
could no realize, wit any degree of
warmth, the mercy an blessing that
had comAo her. Sh was the more
dissatisfied, because as oon as she was
alone she remeraberec the - message
ll Tulloch had given her. It had remain-
ed ,all day undelivered, and quite for-
gotten. " How selfish arra" she said
wearily, but ere she coul d feel sensibly
any regret foe her fault she had fallen
asleep. ,
In the meaning it was her first
tholight, and as soon al er breakfast as
possible she Went to Dr. Balloch'. He
seemed shockled at the ews, and very
much affected. " We iave beea true
friends for fifty years, Margaret," he
said ; "I never thought f his being ill,
of his dying -dying. '
" He does not appear to fear death,
"No, he will meet Was a good man
should. He knows wel that death is
only the veil which w who live call
life. We sleep, and it i lifted."
"Wilt thou see him to -day ?" ..
"Yes, this -morning. Thi -rt -eight
years ago this month his wife di d. It
was a great grief to him She as but
a girl, and 'het bride -ye r was nc4 gate
•worn out."
"1 have neter heard f her."
" Well, thee, that is 1 ke to be. This
is the first time I have a oken of.anna
.
Tulloea since she went way from tes.
It is long th remembe , yet sh was
very lovely, and very lath beloved.
Bat thou knbwest She lanaers speak
notrof the dead, nor do hey eoulIit any
thitig from a day of sor w. - Ho ever,
thy words have brought any thi gs to
my heart. Ties day I ill spend with
my friend."
The reconciliation wlich had taken
place was a ood thin for Matigaret.
She was hie med to b despoedent ;
Suneva alwa s faced th future iith a
smile. It was better als that Margaret
should talk of Jan, than rood ov r the
subject in her wii heart, and nothing
interested Sueeva like -a love -q arrel.
)
If it were between h,us.1and and -wife,
then it was of !double ins. ortance lo her.
She was always trying t put six s and
sevens at one. She p 'lauded i Mar-
garet to write without d lay to Jain, and
to request the Admiralt Office*to for-
ward the letter. If it had been her
letter she would have w itten " Haste "
and " Important" all over it.She
never tired otealeuletin r the possibili-
ties of Jan -r•ceiving it by a certain
date, and she soon fixed upon another
date, when, allowirrg for all possible de -
tensions, Jan' el next lette might be ex-
pected.
But perhaps, most of all, the recon-
ciliation was good for I eter. Nothing
keeps a man so young as the companion-
ship of his children and, grandchildren.
Peter was fond and pron of hisii augh.
,
ter, but he delighted in 1 ttle Jan. The
boy, so physieelly like eis fathe , had
many of Peterts tastes a d peculiarities.
He loved money, and eter respected
him for having it. There were two men
whom Petal particularly disliked,
Little Jan dasliked them also with
all his chcdish soul, and when
he said thingslabout theth that Peter did
not care to saa, the boy' candor charm-
ed and satisfied him al hough- he pre-
tended to repriove it.
Jan, too, had a very h gh temper, and
resented, quiek as flash, any wound to
his childish Iself-esteen . Peter- was
fond of noticing its rel' tionship to his
own. One day he sai to the boy:
"Do that again and I w 11 send thee out
of the stare." I
"If thou Sends me

One morning in the followin April,
Margaret received the Jette which
Suneva had prophesied would rrive by

Joy.
I Just before Christmat-tale, Tulloch
Was sitting alone at inidnight. His
malady was too distressing to allow him
tie sleep, but A norsernan scorns to com-
plain of physical suffering, and prefers,
s long as it is possible, to cerry on the
r gular routine of his life. He was un-
able to go,much out, and his wasted
body showed that it as under a con-
stant- torture, but he a id nothing, only
he welcomed' Margaret and the doctor
warmly, and seemed to be glad f their
unspoken sympathy-. It had been
starmy all day, but the wind ha gone
down, and a pale moon glimmere above
the dim, tumbling sea. All wa quiet,
n t a foot -fall, not a sound exc pt the
d
erous hand,
the house of
ill roar of the waves breaking • upon
the beach. -
Suddenly a woman's sharp cry cut the
silence like e knife. It was followed
b sobs and, shrieks and pasaing foot -
at ps and the clamor of many voices.
E ery one must have noticed how much
m re terrible liaises are at night than in
t e daytime; the silly laughter of drunk -
a ds and fools, the maniac's shout, the
pi rcing shriek of a woman in distress,
se m to desecrate its peaceful gloom,
a d mock the slow, mystic panorama of
t e heavens. Tulloch felt- unusually
i pressed by this night tumult, and
et rly in: the morning sent lais servant out
to discover its meaning.
"It was Maggie Barefoot, sir; her
ns la was drowned last night e she has
si bairns and not a bread -winner among
t em. But what then? Magnus.Tul-
lo h went toe, and he ,had four little
lais-their Mother die at Lammas -
ti e. They'll!. be God's airns now, for
they have neither kith nor kin. It is a
sad business, I say that."
"06 and Laing thern here."
. The order was given without consider-
ation, and without any c nseious inten-
tion. He Was amazed h mself when he
had uttered it. The m n was an old
_servant, and said hesit tingly, "Yes,
but they are no kin of thi e.
" All the apples on he same tree
have come from the sa e root, 'Bele ;
and it is like enough th t all the Tul-
lochs will have had o e 'forbear. I
would be a poor Tullocl to,see one Of
the name wanting a bite nd,sup. Yes,
indeed."
He was very thoughtfnl after seeing
the children, and when Dr. Balloch
came,- he said to him at once: " Now,
then, I will do what hou hest told- me
to do -settle ' up my affairs with this
world forever.' Wilt t ou help me ?"
"If I think 'thou do s the' right thing,
I will help thee, but I o not think it is
right to give thy.mo ey to Margaret
1, edder. She has mem gh and to spare.
'Cursed be he that iiveth- unto• the
rieb.' It was Mali met and Anti -
Christ that said the a ords, but for all
that they are good wo ds.", s
"I have no kin bu a fifth cousin in
Leith ; he is full of gold and honor. All
that I have would be- a bawbee to him.
'But this is what I' thin1;, my money. is
Shetland rrioney; made of Shetland
fishers, and it ought to 4tay in Shet-
land."
"1 think that- too."
"Well, then, we are of one rnind so
far. Now my wish is to be bread -giver
even when I am dead, to be bread -giver,
to the children whose fatl*rs God has
taken. Here are Magnus Tulloch's four
and Hugh Petrie's little lad, and James
Train's five children, and many more of
whom I know not. My houses big and
little shall be homes for them, myimoney
shall buyahern meal and meatand wad mail
to clothe them. There are poor lonely
women who evill be glad to care for
them, eight or ten to each, and Suneva,
Fae and Margaret Vedder will see that
the women do their deity. What think -
est thou ?" .
"Now, then, I think this, that God
has made thy will for thee., Moreover,
thou hest put a good thaeght into my
heart also. Thou knows I brought in
my hand a little money when I came to
Shetland, and it has grown., I know not
how. I will put mine with thine, and
though we are two childless old men,
-many children shall grow up and bless
Into this scheme Tulloch threw all his
strength and foresight and prudence.
The matter was urgent, and there were
no delays-, and no waste of money.
Three comfortable fishermen's cottages
that happened to be vacant, were fitted
with little .bunks, and plenty of fleeces
for bedding. Peat was stacked for
firing, and meal and salted fish seet in;
so that in three days • twenty-three
fatherlese, 'motherless children were in
warm, comfortable homes.
Suneva entered into tbe work with
perfectdelight. She selected the mothers
for each cottae, andshe took good care
that the littl ones' food was properly
that they kept them clean and warm,
cooked, and their clothes washed and
mended. If there were a sorrow or a
complaint it. was brought to her, and
Suneva was not one to blame readily a,
child. , -
Never male went down to the !grave
with his hands so full of beneficent
work as Tulloch. Through it he took
the saera,ment of pain almOst joYfully,
and often in the long; lonely hours of
nightly suffer ng, he remembered with a
smile of pleasure, the little children
sweetly sleeping in the homes he had
provided for them. The work grew and
prospered wonderfully; never had there
been a busier, happier winter i4 Ler-
wick. As was customary, there were
tea-parties at Suneva's and elsewhere
nearly every night, and. at theth the
women sewed for the children, I while
the men played the violin, or recited
from the Sagas, or sung the plaintive
songs of the Islands. .. 1
Margaret breught the dying man con-
stant intelligence bf his bounty,; the
children, one. or two at a time, . were
allowed to come and seeihim ; twice,
d, and henaied on -
d letter, a I tender,
er, fulll of leve -mid
e with the :stirring
story of right trampling' wrong under
foot.. The child liatened to it with a

gloiwng face - : ., ,_
--"* would I were ith My father and
Snoiro," he said reg etfully.
"Would
thou thei leave me, Fan ?" .
"Ay, I would leave thee, mo hen I
would leave thee, arid love thee as my
fathet. does. I co ld stand y my
father's side, I could fire a gun cr reef a
sail, as well as Snorro. I would not be
afraid of anything; no, I Would not. It
is Bitch a long, long time till a boy grows
up to be a man! When I am a man,
thou; shall see that I will have a ship of
my 4wn."-
RI is only in sorrova. bad weather
'nesters us; -in joy we face the storm and
defyi it. Margaret never thought of the
snoW as any impediment. She went
first to Suneva, and then to Dr. Balloch
with, her -letter; kind she was sol full of
happiness liat she -did not no ice the
, minWter was very silent and 1, reoccu-

"Well then,- I think h will e glad.
He has Buffered long and orely.
"Vet a little while ago he wit full of .

hardit often was to keep eace etween
him and thy father.' Novhe as for-
gott4n the things that o ce so pleased
him ; his gold, his houses,1 his bo ts, his
business, have dropped from h0 heart,
as the toys drop from the hard of a
sleepy child." , ,
"ether went to•see hi a week ago."
"There is perfect Peace between them
now. Thy father kissed him when they
_said l'good-by.' When they rneet again
they1 will have forgotten all the bitter-
ness, they will remember Only thtit they
lived in the same town,and worbhipped
in the sai e church,and were com?anions
in t ,e sanelife. This rroreing we are
going to eat together the . holy bread;
coni4 thob with me." '
the walked throngh the town the
min ster spoke- to a gronp of fish rat and
four from among them Silently f illoWed
him Tulloch was still, in his ch, ir, and
his three servants stood besid him.
The table was spread,. the bre • d was
broken, and, with prayers and te re, the
little company ate it together. Then
they bade each other fareWell a f trewell
tranquil and a little sad-Lsaid Imply,
and witholit much' speaking: Soon
afterward Tulloch closed his eyes, and
the minister and Margaret N atched
silently / beside him. Only one , again
the dying matt spoke. He appeared to
be sleeping heavily, but his lips sudden-
ly moved,•and hesaid : "We shall see
N acne tomorrow ?" • . ,
"We !" whispered Margaret. 'Whom
does' he mean 2' .
" Oue whom we can not see ; one who
knows the constellations, and has come
t� take bit to his God." '
Just at sunset a flash of stran e light
transfigured for a moment the p llor of
'is face • he opened wide his blu eyes,
and standing erect, bowed his hend in
an untranslatable wonder and joy. It
was, the moment of release, and the
weary body fell backward,' deserted and
dead, into the minister's arms.
During the few menthe previous to
his death,. Tulldth hadabeen much in
rie had
every one's heart and ori every one's
tongue. There had not been a athen-
ing of any kind in which his na
not been the prominent one; ie some
way or other, he had com-e into many .
lives. His death made a general mourn-
ing, especially among the fishers, to
whom he had ever been al, wide and
trustworthy friend.- He had choSen his
grave in a small islet half a mile distant
from Lerwick -a lonely spot wh re the
living never went, save to bu y the
dead. .
The 'day of burial was a cle r one,
with a salt, fresh wind from the South-
west. Six fishermen made a ijier of
their oars,and laid the coffin u on it.
Then the multitude followed, singing as
they 'went,. until the pier was r ached.
Boat after boat was filled, ai4d. the
strange procession kept a little behind
the.one bearing the coffin and the minis-
ter.
