"4, Yon are the reepresentative of the landlords. And what will they think of your appearing at that meeting? Thely will take it as an open challenge !" "1 mean it as an open challenge, ' she said, proudly. "I want to know wile I am accused of. I want to ask vvhat rore I could have done -with my limited leen& For, of course, my imams are limit d. I can't build breakwaters, aud buy fleta of fishing boats, and make railenvys for I haven't the money. And I can'tli change the soil or alter the climate, or eveni alter the habits of the people:" "What did I tell you, Mamie, at Inver - shin station ?" said Kathchen; but Mary Stanley went on unheeding. "If there are any grievances still to be redressed I want to hear of therm" "Their real grievance is that they haven't got the land for nothing," obeerved her brother, who had a short and summary way of dealing with such gustions. " Well, if you must go, at least we can promiee You a body -guard," said Frank. Meredyth, as they were ascending the wide• stone steps. "At the same time, I think you would be very much better advised to stay at home." 1 That afternoon the ordinary dull somno- lence of a Lochgagra Sunday gave way to a quiet unusual, if subdued' excitement. To begin with, about half past three a wagon- ette came rattling ifito the silent little vil- lege and drew up at the inn, while its oc- cupants -the three apostles of Land Libera e - tion-deacend .and disappeared from view. i% They were not, one long, however. The cottagers, furtively peeping from behind door or window blind, beheld the strangers • come out again and set off for a walk along the sea -front, scanning every object on each hand of them as they passed.- The central figure of the three was a ler& and heavily built man, pale and flabby of face, with small, piggish, twinkling eyes, dote -cropped and stubby yellow hair, and a wide but thin-lipped and resolute mouth. He wore a loess fitipping frockcoat and a black felt wide awake; his hands were clasped behind him; he waddled as he walked. On hia right was a tall and elderly woman, spare, and rather elegant of figure, with a thin, eharp face which, either from constitutional acidity oil:doted or perhaps from driving in the sun, was distinctly violent in color; this was, Ernestine -the fiery Ernestine -who bed no doubt brought with her her torch and can of paraffine. As for; the lady who had come rail the way across! the Atlantic to enlighten these poor eouls of crofters, no one could Bey what she was like; for she was entirely enil velope in a browndust-coat and ablue Veil. But he was shorter than either of her companions. "There are only three of them -there ought to be four," said Frank Merelclyth, as the Loehg trra House party were regarding these passing strangers, from the drawing - room window: "The big man is Ogden - he is recognizable-Ihnetfraid he has puffed himself out with •too much- tea -drinking; but where is the Highland Land Leaguer ?" "Why, you don'tsuppose the vice-presi- dent of a branch of the Highland Land League would travel en a Sunday V' said Kathchen. "Ile will be coming along to - :morrow morning -even if he has to walk or drive ell night.' Mary was also regarding the strangers, "11 the American woman, whichever she is," said elle, quietly, "is going to denounce me to -morrow, she has not left herself much time to get information about this place. She will have to begin at once if she wishes to ascertain the facts." "The facts?" said Meredyth. "She won't have to search about for them.

She took it from him—he thinking, that she merely wanted to look at it; and, with- out more ado, the pitched it over the low sea-wall : there was a splash in the dear green water, and a bubble or two of air, "Things of that sort are not fit for child- ren," she waid—and she took no heed of the angry flush that at once rose to his forehead; anger more probably caused by the reference to his youth than' by the loss of his re- volver. However, he saiclonothing ; and so they went on again and eventually arrived at the church. When they teetered the little building and modestly took their places in the nearest of the pews, there ensued a rather awkward moment; for they hied come early; and, on looking round, :they found OA the only other persons present were they who had summoned the meeting; oo that the hostile comps had a good opportunity of contem- plating each other. The pulpit (like the body of the church) was empty ; but in the precentor'e box was e. serioue visaged,hrown bearded man, who was no doubt Mr. Fraser, of the Stratherrick Branch of the Highland Land League; while underneath him, in the square space partitioned off for the pews of the elders, sat the three personwho were to addressthe meeting. They were all gravely silent, as was fit and proper; but their eyes were alert; and it was as clear as l daylight to Mary's friends that the strangers had recognized in her the lady of Lochgarra House, whom they had come to impeach as the representative in these parts of the iniquitous landlord interest. It was indeed an awkward moment; and, Mr. Ogden's glances of scrutiny were furtive, until he turned away altogether; but -the thin and feverislofaced Mlle. Ernestine took more confident survey, and her bold black eyes went from one to the other of the group, but were most frequently fixed on Mary Stanley. The lady from Connecticut, also, was obviously eurious-most, probably Oe had never beheld before any of those people whose malevolent turpitude had brought the Highlands to sach a pass. The time went slowly by in this constrain- ed silence. The vice-president of the Strath- errick Branch, from his seat in the precen- tor's box, began to look rather anxiouely towards the door, Mr. Ogden glenced at his watch. Frank Meredyth did likewise -it was ten minutes after one. And yet there had been no sign of any human being -ex- cept for a small boy, who had thruet hie shock head in for a second, and gazed won- deringly around the empty church.and then withdrawn with a scared face. At length the chairman leaned over the edge of the precentor's box, and in an audible whisper said: Mr. Ogden, I'm thinking ye'd better go out and tell them." Mr. Ogden hesitated for a moment and then made auswer "Don't you think we should begin the proceedings ?-that will be the beet an- nouncement. Very well," seid Mr. Fraaer ; and he rose in his place with a heavy sigh of pre- paratian. Ladies and gentlemen," he be- gan, "before coming to local matters, I will ask Mrs, Jackson Noyes ter -read a paper that she has prepared. Mrs. Noyes bas re- , cently completed a two days' trip around the We'd Highlands in the steamer Dunara Casthe ; and where she has been unable to lend -for the steamer does notigive ye much ticne at any place-e-sbe has used her eyes, or her opera glase, impartially; and what she has seen she has put down. The title of the paper is : The Horrible Desolation of the Eiighlands, as Described from the Deck of the Damara.' Would ye get up on the bench, mem ?" This hist murmured invitation was ad- dressed to Mrs. Noyes who rose to her feet, but seemed to shriek from taking up any more prominent position, Indeed, the poor woman looked dreadfully embarrassed ; her face was all aflame; instead of proceeding with her paper, she kept glancing helplessly towards the door, whither Mr. Ogden had gone to reconnoitre; and it was clear she could not bring herself to begin without an audience, or, rather, with that small audi- ence that was a hundred times worse than none. And presently Mr. Ogden can:e back -his face blacleas thunder. He „went up" to the precentor's box, and muttered some- thing to the chairman. He returned to the elder enclosure and said eomething to the two ladies -who seemed entirely bewilder- ed. The next moment the four of them had filed out of the church without a word. "Well this is the most aetounding thing!" Frank Meredyth exclaimed, when his party had also left their places and got into the open sir. " Whet is the matter with the people ? Not a living soul has come near- to the place ! No wonder tbe big Parliament man was in a furious rage !" But Mary had turned to Kathchen, who had fallen a step or two behind, " Kathehen ' she said, in an undertone, "what is the meaning of all this? I can sea perfectly well you know something about it. • "For, indeed, Kathchen was all tremb- ling triemphant and joyous, and also inclin- ed to tears -half -hysterical, in short. "Mamie -Mamie," she said, between thatlaughing and crying.

From the drawing -room of Lochgarra Hetes° they were easily dietin- guishable ; they were Big Archie, Donald Ross of Heimra, and the young lad l who was usually in charge of the lugger, When they, landed young Ross left hie compatiions and went directly up to the inn. "Ha ! didn't I tell you ?" Fred Stanley cried, with an air of triiimph. "Before the etorm the petrel ! I thought we should see him somewhere about when this a coming off. Only he has missed lti eratee.

" Why, it's as clear as daylight !" the younger man exclaimed -jumping from vague surmises to defiuite conclusions. Here have we been hanging about all the morning like a couple simpletons waiting for a general riot oreome nonsense 9f that kind, while Ross and his gang of poachers have been up on the moor sweeping the best beats clean of every bird ! That has been the little programme !-and a fine consign- ment of game to be Sent off for Inverness to -night as soon as •the dark comes down. But they may not be off the hill yet, and we'll hurry up Hectorand Hugh and have a look around,' And then he added, vindic- tively : "I'd let the 12th go -I shouldn't, mind a bit having had the 12th spoiled if only I could catch those scoundrels -and the chief of them-redhauded." "Alt I heti-8 to say is," observed the more phlegmatic Meredyth, "that if we are go- ing up the hill we may as Well take our guns with us and a brace of doge. We can have an hour or two. The fag -end of the 12th 'le better than no 12th, and your sister sego she wants some birds." "Birds ?" the other repeated. "What do you expect to find on the ground after those poaching thieves have been over it ?" However, in the end he consented; and as they found that Hector -undisturbed by all those alarming rumors of riot and pillage -had kept everything in readiness for them, the two young men snatched a hasty sand- wich and set forth. It was not a very eager shooting party. There was a sensa- tion that the great possibilities of the 12th had been ruined for them. Nevertheless, there would be some occupation for the afternoon, ard the mistress of the household wanted some grouse. But, indeed, it soon beceme eVident that it was net shooting that was uppermost in Fred Stanley's mind. He overruled Hee:Aerie plan for taking the nearest beats. He would have his companions hold away up the Gor- rie Bhreag, which leads to the Glen Orme foreet ; and ever he was making for the higher ranges -scanning the ground far ahead of him and listening intently in the strange silence, while he was clearly un- willing to have the dogs uncoupled. "Look here, man," at length said Mere- dyth, who, though new to the place, had a trained eye for the features of a moor ; "surely we have come down wind far enough? It will take us all our time to get back before dinner, even if we pick the beate on the way home-" - Tho answer was unexpected -a half smothered exclamation of mingled anger and triumph. "Didn't I tell you so?" young Stanley exclaimed, with his eyes fixed on di small, dark object a long distance up the glen. "Didn't I tell you we should find him here? Don't you see him -away up yonder? My lad., when you come poaching, you shouldn't put on sailor's clothes; they're too con- spicuous. What do you say, Hector ; earl you make him out? Well, whether you can or not, I will tell you his name. That is•Mr. Donald Ross, if you want to know - and I guessed we should find him hero or hereabout!' !" "1 am not sure," said Hector, slowly, also with his eyes fixed on the distant and dark figure. "But I am r • Fred Stanley went on. "And perhaps you can tell me what he is doing up on our shooting ?" " Mebbe," said the serious -visaged keep- er, with a little hesitation, " mebbe he was waiting to see that none of the lads would be for going into the forest. Or mebbe he was up at Glen Orme." "Oh, stuff and nonsense !" the young man cried, scornfully. "Do you think we are children? I tell you we have caught him at last; and wherever the rest of the gang have sneaked ,off to, he is bound to come along here and face it out. Yes, he is coming; I csn see he is moving this way. Very well, Frank, you have the dogs un- coupled now, and begin to shoot back home; I'm going to meet my gentleman -and I will take my gun with me, just to keep a whole- some cheek on insolence." "-You will not," said Meredyth, with de- cision -for he knew not whither this young man's obvious wrath and emnity might not lead him. " I will wait here With you ; whcever that is he is elearly coming this way." " Why, of course he must !" was the re- joinder. "He is caught ; what else is there left for him but to come along and try to put some kind of fece on it !" Then pres- ently he exclaimed, " Well of all the effrontery that ever I beheld ! He is carry- ing a gun under his arm !-how's that for coolness ?" " I am not thinking it is a gun, sir," said the tall, brown -bearded keeper ; "it is mere like a steek." "Yea, it is a stick, Fred," Meredyth put in, after a moment. "Oh, why ahould he have a gun? What does he want with a gun?" the young men said, without being disconcerted for a Moe ment. "He has only to direct the oper- ations of his confederatee. A stick ?-very likely !-the master -poacher doesn't want to be -encumbered with a gun I", And so they waited. It, was a singular scene for the 12th of August on the side of a Highland hill ; no ranging of dogs, no cracking of breech -loaders, no picking up of a bird here and there from the thick heath- er, but a small group, standing silent and constrained, and dimly aware that pent up human passions were about to burst forth amid these vast and impressive solitudes. Young Ross of Heimra-for it was unmis- takably he -came leisurely alcmg ; his at tention was evidently fixed on the sports- men ; perhaps he was wondering that they did not let loose the dogs and get to work. But as he drew nearer he must have per- ceived that they were awaiting his ap- proach ; and so -with something of interro- gation and surprise in his look -he came up to them. ,Ihope you have had good sport," said FredStanley.tienley. Rosa stared ; there was some- thing in the young man's tone that seemed to ,e,tIr-ikie dhoimn,.t quite understand," said he. " Oh, well, it's only this," replied the other, striving to keep down his rising rage, and speaking in a deliberately taunting "that wbeu you find any ono on a Highland moor on the 12th of August you naturally suppose that he has come for grouse. And why not? I am sorry we have interrupted you. When you have the fishing and the stalking, why ehouldn't you have the shooting as well ? I am sorry if we have disturbed you-" They formed a curious contrast, these two; the tall, handsome, light -haired youth, with his fair complexion and his boyish mus- tache causing him to look ahnost effeminate, and yet with his nostiila dilated, his haughty gray eyes glistening with anger, a tremor of paseion about the lines of hie lips; the other, thcugh hardly so tall, of more manly presence, his pale, proud, clear-cut features entirely reticent, his coal -black eyes, so far without flame in them, an abso- lute self-postession and dignity governing his manner. "1 hardly know what you mean," said he slowly, fixing those calmly observant happen t I've got a t can bark him at Your re - one by. panion to forth the " You needn't be angry, Mande," saia Kathchen, her wet eyee shining with a half - concealed pride and delight; "but -but I was terribly frightened about what might happen to you, and iyesterday 1 tent Big Archie out to Heirnra-I told him to go as soon as the people had got into , the church -and I gave him a nbte. For I knew he would answer the message at once -and that he would tee you came to no harm-" " Do you mean Dirald Ross ?" said Mery rather breathlessly. "Who else cpuld have done it !" said Kathchen, with something of reproach. "And I knew be would do that -or any- thing -for your sake. Oh, do you think I can't see ?-do you think I heve no eyes ?" Mary did not anawer ; she walked on in silence for a little while. But by-and-by she said: "Kathchen, don't you think I ought to see Mr. Roes -before he goer, back to Heimra ?" CHAPTER XVIII. SMOKE AND FLAME. - Bat that was not, at all . the view that Fred S!an14 took of this amazing and in- comprehensible incident. "There's emne trick in it, Frank," he slid, vehemently, as he hurried his friend aloug with him on their- way back to the house. " There's some underhand trick in it, and I want to know whet it means. I tell you we must get the keepers, and go up ' the hill at once and see what is going on. There's tomethicg at the bottom of all this j ugglery., " "Jugglery oi no jugglery," his compan- ion said, with Much good humor, "it has come in vcr34 handy. If a riot had been started who knows what the end might have ben? it wasn't the raid into the Glen Orme Forest that concerned me, nor yet the driving of the sheep off Mealltna-Fearn ; but I confess I was anxious about your sister. If she had been denounced before an angry and excited meeting-" " Oh, we should have been able to take care of ourselves'!" the younger man eaid, dismissing that matter contemptuously. "And if it was Ross of Heimra who etep- ped in to prevent all this," Meredyth con- tinued, " I, for one, am very much obliged to him." "Oh, don't be an ase, Frank !" the other said, with angry impatience. "11 it is Donald Ross who has done all this,111 swear -do you imagine—" " Oh, it isn't that, only ! It is half a dozen thing i besides !" the yottug man exclaimed, I,e)ttiog his pession get entirely the mastery of him. " Who has this place? Not those who bought it ! It is youo have the les shooting and fishing and eve y thin ; and not content with that, you pie dog-in-the- mauger as well -heaving stones into the pools when anyone cher goes downto the river. And who does the !wringing about here ?-answer me that !-do you think we don't know well enough?- Let us have an and of hypocrisy-" "L -t us have an end `of madness !" said Donald Ross, eternly ; and for a second there was a gleam of fire in his black eyes. But that flame, and a certain set expreseion of the I mouth, almost inetently vanished; this youog fellow, with the girlish complex- ion, was even now so curiously like his sister. "1 do not answer you," Donald 11039 wept on, with a demee,uor at once sim- ple and austere. ".You have chosen to in- sult me. I do not answer you. You are in my country; it is the same as if you were under my roof." "Your country ?" the hot headed young man cried, in open scorn. " What part; of the country belongs to you? That rock of an island out there ?-and I wish you would keep to it ; and you'd better keep to it, for we don't mean to have this kind of thing going on any longer. We mean to have an end of all this scringing and poaching. We have been precious near getting hold of those scringa nets; we'll make euro of them the next time. And I want once for all to tell you that we mean to have the fishing for ourselves, and the shooting, too ; and we waut you to understand that there ie such a thiog as the law of trespass. What right have you to be here, at this moment, on this moor ?" he demanded. " How can you explain your being here? What are you doing here—on the 12th? Do you know to whom this moor belongs? And by what right do you trespa s on itV' "Fred," interposed Frank Meredyth,who was painfully conscious that the two keep- ers -though they had discreetly turned away -must be hearing something of this - one -sided altercation, "enough, of this ; if there is any dispute it can be settled another time -not before third prime." , , "One moment," said Donald Ross, turn- ing with a grave courtesy to this intervener. "You have heard the question I have just been asked. Well, I do not choose to ac- count for my actions -to any one. But this I wish to explain. I have no right to be where I am, I admit ; I havetrespassed some dozen yards on to this moor, in order to come up and speak to you. When you saw me drat I was on the old footpath - there it is, you can see for yourself -that leads up this corrie, and through the Glen Orme forest to Ledmore ; it is an old hill road that every one has the right of using." "Oh, yes; thieves' lawyers are always clever enough 1" Fred Stanley said, diedain- fuilli onald Ross regarded him for a moment -with a strange kind of lotk, and that not of anger; then he quietly said "Good after- noon !" to Meredyth, and went On his way. Hector got out of the pre/veiling embarrass- ment by uncoupling the dogs, and Frank Meredyth put cartridges in his gun. This encounter did not augur well for eteady shooting. Meanwhile Dorald Rose was making down for the coast, slowly and thoughtfully. What had happened had been a matter of a few swift seconds; it had now to be set in order and considered ;the scene had to be conjured up again -with all its minute but vivid incidents. And no longer was there any need for him to affect a calm and proud indifference; phrates that he had seemed to pass uaheeded began to burn; the rapid glances and tones of those brief moments, now that they were recalled, struck deep. Indeed, the first effect of a blow is but to stun and bewilder -the pain comes after• wards ; and there are words that cauee more deadly wounds than any blows. Taunt and insult; these are hard things for a High- lander to brook -and yet -and yet -that hendsome, headstrong boy, even in the white -heat of his passion, had looked so curiously like his sister. "Ah, well," said Ross, aloud, and there was a kind of smile on hie face, " it is, per- haps, a wholesome lesson. Hereafter I'd better mind my own business. And if I have been ordered off the mainland -sent" back to my little island -very well ; the sea -gulls and gannets 'won't accuse me of trespass" In tme he drew near the village. But as he went down the hill from Minard, and had to pass Lochgart House, he did not lc turn his eyes in tha direction. He held straight on, and at ength encountered a smelt boy who had just , been engaged in hauling a dinghy up on the beach. . "Alan," said he, "have you seen Big Ar- chie anywhere about ?" "Aye," said the boy, "he was at the inn to look at tho people driving aweh," "What people? The strangers who were at the church this morning ?" "Aye, chiet that. There was many a one laughing at them," eaid Alan, with a bit of a grin. Well, run along now, and see if you can find Big Archie, and tell him I am going out to Heimra. Then you can come back with him and pull us out to the lugger." And away went Alan, with a Will, eager to earn the sixpence that he foresaw await- ing his return, while the young laird of Eleimra, having nothing elag to do until Big Archie should put in an' appearance, seated himself on the gunwale of the dinghy, with his eyes turned towards the sea. Not once had he glanced in the direction of Lochgarra House. • But Lochgarra House had taken notice of him. Mary Stanley chanced to be passing one ofethe windows, when of a sudden her face grew animated, and her eyes -those liquid, grey -green eyes that were at all times so clear and radiant -those bland, good-humored, kind 'eyes -shone with a quick interest and delight. " Kathchen ! Kathchen !" she called. "There is Mr. Ross just gone by -tell Bar - biro to run after him -quick! quick !-and -and my complimente-and I want to see him most particularly. He must not go out to Heinle& before I ha,ve seen him - tell her not te lose a minute -I'm afraid he may be goinglalong now to get Big Archie's boBtate." . at such a crisis Kathchen did not i choose to wait for any servant. She fiew into the hall, snatched a straw hat from the table, tripped down the wide stone steps, and made her way as quickly as might be round the sea-wall and along the beach. He did not hear her approach, he seemed plung- ed ira a profound revIrie. "Mr. Ross !" ebe eaid, rather breathless- ly and timidly, to attract his attention. He started to his feet; and, when he saw who it WaS, his naturally pale, dark face grew suddenly suffused—an almost echoole boyish constraint visible there for a mo- ment. Kathchen was surprised ; but she enalagle haste to deliver Miss Stanley's mes- ' She happened to see you f;otn the win- dow, and she is most anxioue that you ehohld not go back to Heimra before she has a chance of thanking you for your great kindness, for she quite understands it was you who prevented all the miechief thet might have arisen from those people coming here, and she is very grateful, and wiehee to say so to yourself. And I wish to give you her cumpliments and say that she wished particularly to see you—if you wouldn't mind coming along for a few moments." (To Bs CONTI(UED.) "Shorter I istry and "'Shorter" Bills.
