The beggar promptly drew the !top- per, smelled, and chaeced to be one of those who like the pungent; aromatic edOr 66flech 1" he cried, tears in his eyes, replacing the stopper ; you's fine.

I sail put the brew scent on the kerchief, an' sail feel like a. laird." He calmly put Quentia's lauudle under his head, the boy's shoes being tied to the bundle; as his wallet incommoded him, he brought it forward over his breast. "It's no chill," he said, , plecidly ; .Lan' it were, ye suld spread. the pladdie o'er my feet, Ye may sit upon it an' ye like. ' Quentin, with a bursting heart, did not &veil himself of this generous per- mission to usehis ovrn plaid, Tha big beggar, being settled to his satisfaction, poured about half the chloroform on the blue kerchief and applied it to his nose; he choked and threw back his head a little, and, as he held the half -corked bottle in the same hand with the ker- chief, the result Was that he drenched the cloth with the remainder of the fluid. He murmured herevily, "I'm weavin,' oop an' doon—o-oop—far o-o-o- oe-p—" His hand clutched the wet kerchief closer and closer, his limbs re- laxed, his eyes shut; he was still. " Hot" cried Quentin, quickly spring- ing to his feet. -The man did not stir'. "He's deid !" shouted Quentin, amazed. Then the boy remelt bered that Mr. Murdoch had told him that by Wieling chloroform people became for a short period heavily unconscious—sometim ees died.keep it yer lane." „Lonely? ;No, ,not lonely tt Lt,t, "If he's deicl," said Quentin, "it's no my fault; I warned him. Gif he comes to, I rnaun be oot o' reach." But Qu.ention could not gn without his property ; the beggar had beggared him. If he disturbed the wretch, he might rouse him, but in the bundle under his head were two dear relics— the psalm -book, in which Sandy Graham had written his own name, and the housewife made by old Aggie's !may hands; these he could not abandon. He bent down, slipped his hand into the wallet and recovered his knife and packet of money; then he gently pulled . the bundle from under the thief's big heavy head; the empty bottle and the blue kerchief, heldfast in his hand, it weuld not be safe to meddle with. Snatching up his plaid, Quentin took to his heels and fled like a frightened deer in the direction of Invershire. On, on, he went. He seerned to hear the big beggar coming behind; but when he dared look back, he saw no one. When he reached Invershire, he elackened his pace, but still pressed on his way. He felt weary from running, also very faint, as he had eaten nothing but his breakfast porridge' and the beg- gar had left him no crumbof food. But Quentin had been too hardily reared to mind small hardships in the way of missing a meal or two. His chief trouble was the loss of -that admirable scientifie bottle, that blessed drug of which he had been so proud. Loonch, blue kercher, chloroform— gene ! An' I hae mony mail- sic adven- tures, I sell sten' my lane in my skin," said Quentin to himself. Fearing that the beggar might come along the highway, Quentin turned out of the road into a woodland, hoping to make his way to Kincardine safely in the obscurity. He moved slowly along, much cast down by his sudden view of the wrong side of the world. He had crossed Ailsh Water and entered Ross. Theetspect of the country had changed. The:towering hills of Sutherlandshire lay behind him ; the 'land was more level, had fewer deep glens, mad tor- rents and sharp rocks. There were more trees. As he traveled along some- thing rustled in the herbage near his path, and. looking down, he saw a here. The animal was wounded in one leg, which was torn and bleeding. It had evidently been partly caught in some • trap and had pulled itself out. Quen- tin picked up the poor creature and car- ried it alor g until he found a little spring cozing through themoss. Kneel- • ing down, he bathed the wounded foot, drew the torn flesh • into place, and • bound it up with part of the rag that held his money. His idea was to carry the creatnre until he found a "bothie, or cabin, where he might get a morsel of tallow or oil to dress the hurt, and then let the hare go free. As he walked on . full of this kind intention, his neck was suddenly grasped from behind and a loud voice shouted, "So 1 I've got you, you rascally young poacher Caught you in the act. have yeu jailed, certain." The speaker—a big Englishman of the variety "keeper"—snatched the -hare from Quentin and roughly carried it by its hind legs. while he held Quentin and dragged him on with him. "You're hurtin' the wee beastie, mon," screamed the boy, " It's leg is a wounded, an' I has bona' it oop. Let Ina alane 1" "Hurt, is it? Yes, in your own trap, little rascal! Well, I'll end the hurt soon enough." He hit the hare a smart rap on the back of the near, and killed it. Quentin gave a cry of indignatio.n. " Oh ! you wanted it for your own sapper, did you ?" said the man. " No, no ! I was to let it go whiles I had mendel its foot. Let me shale; set no traps. Haud off yer hands." "Not I, you young vagrum ! I'm set here to keep my master's woods, an' 1111 enake example of poachers." "I'm no poacher; I'm an honest lad and a, gentleman's 011ie." " Ye look it." said the man. " Ye might as well hold yer tongue. I'll tak you before my master, who is a sheriff and have you in prison for a month— and, 1 hope, sent beyond seas—for your stealing." Oh, here were disgrace and agony This was worse than the beggar. Quen- tin was stupefied with terror. A vague hope that the master might hear reason and prove less savage than the man was all that sustained.him as he was dragged on, until finally he reached the back of a gentleman's shooting -lodge. A fair- haired, rosy girl stood there, her bare feet proclaiming her a maidservant. (To he continued.) While Jesuit standetit . His presence flis nr,;# cumber, I know that Litt is nigh.
