This time he did throw a brief glance in the direction of Lochgarra. House -perhaps thinking of what otherwise might have been. But now, how coold ha ever again be under that roof ? Will you tell Mies Stanley," said he - and though that temporary confusion had gone, there was still a curious reserve in his manner--" that I am very glad if I have been of any service to her -very glad that she should think so, I mean ; but it isn't worth speaking about ; and she must not say anything more about it." ' But she wishes to see you !" exclaimed Kathchen, who naturally had expected an instant acquiescence. " Surely she is the best judge as to whether she ought to thank you or not. And that was the message I was to take to you, that she wished --most particularly to see you before you went out to Heimrs. A few moments only -she will not detain you-" " If you will excuse me, I would rather not go along," said he, looking uneasily to- wards the cottagee and the ion. " I have just sent for Big Archie." Kathohen was astounded, What kind of a young man was this, to refuse the invita- tion of a beautiful young woman -one, in- deed, who had shown herself singularly in- terested in him, even as he had gone out of his way to render friendly little serviette to her ? Kathohen's secret conjectures, found- ed on what she had recently observed as be- tween these two, seemed to have been sud- denly and rudely stultified. What was the key to this enigma ? Jealousy ? Was it the presence of Frank Meredyth that inter- posed ? Would he decline to visit the house until that possible rival had been removed ? She could not understand ; she was bewil- dered ; but still she, had her commission to execute, and the faithful Kathchen was stanch. • " Missianley will be disappointed," said she. " She is most anxious to see you. A couple of minutes would be enough. And surely you could let Big Arable wait." " Thank you," said he -and it was clear that it was with the greatest reluctance he -yras forcing himself to refuse-? but I would rather not, I am very sensible of Miss Stanley's kindnees, but -but she must not make too much of this trifling thing," ° Kathohen paused irresolute. But, after all, she had no more to say. She could not appeal to him, she could not beg of him, as a fever, to accept Miss Stanley's invitation ; Ke,thohen also had a little pride ; so she civilly bade him good -afternoon and hoped he would have a pleasant voyage home, and set out on her way back to the house, " Well," said Mary,when Kathchen came into the room. But she had already mee,n from the window that her messenger was re- turning alone. " Oh," said Kethchen, in an indifferent sort of fathion=and the began to gather up some samples of homespun that was strewn on- the table-" he says he is going out to Heimre at once. He has sent for Big Ar- chie. it He says -he says -that he is glad if he has rendered you any littie service -but you are not to think of it," Mary's eyes had grown full of wonder. For out of these windows the could plainly see that he was still waiting on the beach ; the fact being that the boy Alan had failed to find Big Archie at the inn, and had go.ne off to seek him throughout the cottages, " But did you tell Mr. Roes that I wished to speak with him ?" she asked. " I said that you most particularly wished to speak with hint." " Yes -and then ?" " Then he -he begged to be excused,"said Kathchen, bluntly. .11Iary turned sharply away from the window, and for a second or two she was silent. " Why did you say most particularly ?' What right had you to give him any such metsage ?" she demanded, with something of a cold and dignified air, but no ooking to- wards Kathchen. " Those were your very w , Mamie !" Kathohen protested. " I may have said something like that - in the hurry of calling to you," Mary said, with flushed face. But you ought to have known. You Might have'knovvn it was not mestage I wanted given to any one -not to any one. However, it ie of little conse- quence." She advanced to the table -her head somewhat erect. id I suppose," she saidt in a matter-of-fact way, you will be writing about those samples to the Fraserst of Inverness ?" it Yes, Mamie -you told me to." " Very well," she continued, still with an air of unconcern ; " you might say to them at the same time that we din get patchwork quilts made for them at from ten to twelve shillings the piece, if they send us the ma- terials. That is the prioe I promieed to the women here. And if they prefer the stock- ings made longer, I will have them made longer ; Only they must give me a little more for them -there is so muoh more wool and so much more work." She glanced furitively over her shoulder ; it was only now that Big Archie had made his appearance -coming down the beach- to she spot at whish young Ross was idly walking about. " Kathchen," she said of a sudden, with s‘omething of piteous vexation in her tone, 'aro you certain that you said 6 Mat par- ticularly ?'-are you quite certain ?-I-I did not mean it -I was in a hurry -you did not say ' most particularly ' did you ? At the same time ' she went on, with an abrupt affectation of carelessness, " it is of very little consequence -no consequence what- ever ; the only thing is that the -Highland- ers appear to have odd manners -and that again, as I thy, isw matter of perfect indif- ferenoe. Don't forget to mention the patch- work quilts and the stockings." But Kathchen hose and went to thee win; dow. By this thne Donald Roes iBrg Ar- chie and the young lad were al ne the dinghy on their way to the lugger. h " There is something strange„ Mamie," Kathchen- said, thoughtfully. "I osnnOt imagine what made him refuse to corns along to this house -and refuse With such embarrassment. And these are not High- land manners at all. But sometimes a High- lander is too proud to speak." They were soon to learn what all this meant. When the two young men return - did from their afternoon expedition, it ap- 'peered that they had got -thirteen and a half brace of grouse, and a few odds and ends -a very fair bag, considering the size of the moor and the length of time they had been out. But it was not the succeis of the shooting that caused Fred Stanley to oorne into the drawing -rem with something of a gay and triumphant air. " Well, we hAve caught your polohing. friend at last," he said to his sieter, " and I think we have sent him home with a flea in hie ear: I itnew we should corner him soon- er or later, in spite of his cunning. _ And a very pretty trick it wes-to plan this insur- rectory meeting for the I 2th, so that we should be kept away from, the hill, keepers and all. But it didn't work, you see ; for we lost no time in getting up to the Corrie Bhreag, and there he was, sure enough, And very little he had to say for himself - not a word 1 -but I bad something to say to him • and I don't think we shall be troubled with'his presence about Lochgarra for some little time to come." "Are you speaking of Mr. Ross ?" said Mary, with a certain cahnsess of manner that did not quite conceal her alarm. "I should think I was." "And what did you find him doing ?" " I found him on the moor -where he had no right to be ; and if the rest of the gang managed to hide thenuielves or to get safe away, well, I did not care muoh about that; he was there to answer for them, and so we had it out. Yes, I may say we had it out." Mary turned to Frank Meredyth. " Mr. Meredyth, what is all this about ?' What happened ? Did ,you find Mr. Ross shooting on the moor ?" " Well, no," eaid Ideredyth, with some- thing of disquiet, for he was now placed in a most unenviable position. " The fact is, it would be difficult to bring any definite charge against him, for he was corning down from the direction of the Glen Orme forest, and when we first saw him he was following an old hill -path that everybody has the right to use -so he says. No, he wasn't shooting -not then, oertaioly ; nor did we see any one with him ; but as regards Fred's suspicions -well, you know, I have said before, that when you imogine there is poaching going on you see it in every cir- cumstance." " What was he doing up there at all ?" the younger man broke in. Why, he had no defence to make. He had not a word to say for himself. It's all very well to be high ,end mighty ; you won't account for your actions to anybody -no, of course not, when you can't without convioting yourself 1" • " I suppose he had a gun with him ?" said she, still addressing Frank Meredyth. " Well, no ; he had not," Meredyth con- fessed, looking somewhat anxious and dis- concerted. "A game bag, at least ? and a dog ?" she went on ; "or something that entitled you to suspect him ?" " Oh, no, not at all. The truth is he was simply miming down the strati', and he had nothing under his arm but a Walking - stick.' " Oh, indeed," said she • and she drew herself up ie little proudly. " Very we'll. Yon meet a stranger, no not a stranger - but Gne of my friends, wItom you have seen under my roof, and he is walking along a public foot -path carrying a stick in his hand. Well -and then ? I want to know what happens then ?" Merodyth was grievously embarrassed. " I am afraid there were a few hard words seid-and-and I must say for Mr. Ross that he showed a great forbearance 'and self-control. Yes, I mnst admit that ; and also that Fred was rather too -too out- spoken. I must say I ratiliee admire Mr. Ross because of hie composure ; for, indeed, I thought at one time -well, it was a very awkward meeting. When there is bad bloodt you see -when one suspecti poaching - everything points that way." " 011, I am responsible for everything, that occurred !" Fred Stanley broke in again, impetuously. " Meredyth had noth- ing to do with it -nothing at all ! And I tell you I spoke plainly. I thought the time for pretence and hypocrisy had gone by ; I thought it was time my gentleman poacher should understand we weren't going to be made fools of any longer, Ol, I spoke plainly enough, if that is what you want to find ont !" continued this confident lad, who seemed to be rather vain of his achievement. " I told him we had quite enough of him about Looligarra-quite enough of him, and his scringe.nets, and hie thieving of salmon, and heaving of stone* into the pools. I told him we wanted this place to ourselves now. I recommended hint to keep te that small island out there-" " It is infamous -it is shamelees 1" said Mary Stanley -arid the beautiful, proud faco had grown suddenly pale, and ehere was a curious. indignant vibration in her voice. 1' Do you know what that man hae done for me, this very day ? What does he -value most in the worldo-what remains to him. of all the possessions which his family wed' to hold -what but the devotion and affeetion with which these people about here regard him ? And he rieked it all -for my sake. He took my side against his own people. They were appealed to by everything that could tempt them ; and they ,had been taught to regard me as their enemy ; and who know' what might have happened if he had not stepped- in and confronted them,and seid-' No.' He has forgiven the injuries, the irreparable injuries, my family have done him and hie ; he has met me with friendlinese at every turn--snd always keep- ing out of the way and claiming no thanks for it ; and now the return le gets is=in- sult 1 and insult that he would scorn to an - ewer." She went on, with inbressing indi.g- nation : " Shooting and tithing ! Whet do I care for the shooting and fishing ? I would rather have every fish in the river and every bird on the hill destroyed than that the dia- gram of such ingratitude should have fallen on thie house 1' She paused-ohesitated- her lip began to quiver. " I -I beg your pardon, Mr. Meredytlit-I am sorry. yob should have met with any annoyance to- day." And the next second, and in despite of herself, she bad buret into a passionate fit of weeping ; while, with the proud head bent, her handkerchief covering her eyes, and her frame shaken with sobbing, she left the room, Instantly Kathchen went with her -leaving silence behind. It was about half en hour thereafter that the dinner gong attended upward from the big, empty, echoing hall. Kathchen came down to the drawiog-room. Miss Stanley Would rather that you did not wait for her, ' said she to the two gen- tlemen. And therewith Ke,thchen also withdrew. CHAPTER XIX, A AUtIMONE. " What can I de, Kathchen ? What oan I do t" she was saying, in .accents almost of despeir ; and in 'Ittiir agitation she was walk- ing up and down before the windows, glanc- ingjout from lime to time • towards,the far island that was noW shining in the morning sunlight, while the driven blue sea was apringing white along - its rocky ishores. ' What can I do 'h What atonement oan I make ? Or is it quite hopeless ? Is he to be sent away as a stranger without a word of oxOuse or apology or appeal?" And then she said, "Kathchen, surely there is ROMS fatality in it, that this young mane who has heaped kindness On me' since ever I came to this plaae-but elways keeping alo f in a ia strange proud way, as if to avoid the ossi- bility Of thanks-esurely there is some tal- ity that he should eeceive nothing but insult and wrong at our hande. First, my uncle - now, my brother --e" - " At all events," 'said Kathohen, boldly, "I don't see why you should torture ' your mind about it, MaMie. It has been none of your doing. You are not responsible for what your unele , may. have done ; and if Fred has apioten in a moment of anger; well I don't suppose mr. Rosewill prove to be so unforgiving:" . " It isithe whole family he must think of, . Kathchen !" Mary broke . in, bitterly. " I shouldn't wonder if he hated the very name of Stanley ! Whit a deapicabie race he must think us ? But, I suppose, there islan end now. He has 'borne too much already ; this puts a climax to • it. Unforgiving ? Why, even if I coeld Wallach) Fred to go out to Heimra and uffer him an apology, he -would treat it with scorn -and rightly, tr. I know he would." • 1 The shrewd Kethchen though she did not say so, had her doubt's on this score. ,In- the dim recesses of her consciousness there was- an echo Of two lines from " Maud .:" - , • ° Peace, angry spirit, and letehim be ! . Has not kis sister smiled On me r And she fancied,:for reaeons of her own, thafif the headstrong boy could be brought to ask for pardon, the somewhat haughty features of the youog owner of Heimra would riot long remain stern and implacable. Bet she dared not reveal those reasons, even as shedared not repeat those two lines. She was e prddent lass, and careful not to pre- sume unwarily. - • Of 4, sudden Mary said in her impetuous way : " Kathohen, I will take the sheep off Meall-na-Fearn 1" Kate Glendinning looked up, startled. " Yes," the young proprietress said, with decision. "After breakfast you and I must drive away out and see Mr. Watson. If he will give up Meall-na-Fearn on the same -terms as Meall-na-Cruagan, good and well ; the sheep must go and the crofters can have the pasturage divided between them. I suppose," she added, with something of em• barrassment in the clear shining eyes,"some one would be lure to -to carry the news - Mit to Heimra ? Or a line, perheips- you might have occasion to send out to "Mamie !" said Ketlichen, in warm pro- test. " What are you thinking of ? Is that the atonement you want to make ? Do you mean to cut down Ur. Wation's farm still further just to please Donald Ross ? Why, it is madame ro begin with, it would not pieta(' him -not in the least • he has told you that you have alread'y been far too generous, and I do not know what he would think of such a needless and useless semi- , flee." " Oh, you think he would not approve ?" 'aid Mary, slowly. She was now standing at one of the windows, looking out towards the distant ieland beyond the wide blue plain of the sea. "I am pretty sure he would not," Kath - ellen responded, "especially if he fanoied it was done to propitiate him ; it would put him in a very awkward position. But I'll tell you what should do If I were in your place, Mamie-" " Yee," she said, instantly turning from the window, " What is it ? le there any - 'thin I can do, Kathohen ? It Reams so terrible -and eo shameful ; and here am I helpless. And then he is so proud -yes, proud and disdainful ; I have said it be - 'fore, only this time he has an ample right to be." " Well, Mamie, if I were you I would I shnply take no notice of what'happened yesterday afternoon ;" this was Kathohen's, advioe. • I would assume that the friendly relations between him anchyou were precise. ly as they alwoys had been. ' " Yes, but hew to let him know that that is what I am thinking ?" said Mary, eagerly, aud rather piteously withal. " I would send him a note," said the in- trepid Kathchen. "About what ?" "About anything." " Shall I ask him to come over and dine with' us ?" Mary asked, rather nervously. " Well no ; that would be treeless ; he would not accept -at present," Kathohen made answer. " But indeed, Mamie. I would not maid hint.' any invitation, nor would I say anything that tmeded an an- swer ; should write so that he might an- swer or not, just as he pleased." " Yea, yes," said Mary, with some anima- tion. " Your edvioe Is exoellent,Kathchen. I will write at once. And about what ? Oh, about kelp. I have got all the informa- tion I wanted about the burning of kelp ; and I will tell him that any time he borne. crier to the main•land I should like to show him the report." And then, as abruptly, she discarded this idea. "No. Kelp is too commonplace. It would be liko asking for his a,dvice about something 'connected with the estate ; and I want him to understand 01+1 can get on by myself. Oh, I'll tell you, Kathohen 1 -the photographs 1 -the photographs 1 promised to send to Mrs. Ar- mour, You know how proud he was of the old woman's coming all the way from Can- ada to have but a glimpse of young Donald; and I could eee how he was pleased by the little attentions I was able to show her - quite grateful he seemed -though you know ha doesn't say much." She was all excitement now, and as happy and sanguine as hitherto she had been despondent. She went and got writ- ing materials ,forthwith, and hastily, and yet with sotn3 consideration, penned this note : LocaoAsse House, Tuesday Morning. " DEAR MR. Ross, -I do not know whether I told you that, before Mrs. Arm- our left to return to Canada, I promised to send her a aeries of photographs of Loch- garra and the neighborhood. I am arrang- ing to have a photographer come through from Inverness, and any time that you hap- pen to be over here, I should be exceedingly obliged,if yoa would spare me a few minutes to let nhe know what places would be likely to prove most interesting to her. Yours sincerely, MA.13Y STANLEY." " Now, you see," she said' as she rather triumphantly handed the letter to Kath- ohen; " that demands nothing. He does not need to reply unless he has plenty of time and nothing else to do. It merely shows that, es far as I am concerned, I don't con- sider that anything has occurred to disturb our friendly relations. It was so clever of you to think of it, Kathchen. And I must send word to Big Archie that, I shall want him and his boat. I'm afraid it's too rough to try the steam -launch. I'm so much obliged to you, Kathchemfor thinking &bone it !" Indeed, she was quite joyous and radiant. Her keen remorse and shame and piteous despair , seemed wholly to have fled ; she was possessed with an audacious confidence -a sort of gratitude towards all the world shone in her eyes. And Kathohen, who had studied this young woman closely, and who was capable of drawing conclusions, knew perfectly the origin of this buoyancy of spirit. The letter Mary had just written demanded no answer, it is true, but none the lees was she in her heart convinced that an answer --an answer confirmiog all her beet anticipations -would be. forthcoming, and that without delay ; Big Archie was bidden to haste and get his lugger ready ; he was to set out for Heimra at °nee. Kate Glendinning was not the only tine in this house who could draw conolusions, or at least form suspicions. When the two gentlemen returned that evening from the hill, they found the letters and newspapers that had arrived by the mid-day post spread out on the hall table, and they began to glarice at addresses and tear open envelopes. Fred Stanley was soon setisfiede he went off to his room to change for dinner, but his elder companion remained -holding a letter in his hand, and apparently much concern- ed about soniething. ,At this moment Kethohen appeared, passing across to the door leading out into the garden ; and the instant he caught sight of her his eyes seem- ed to light with interest, Here wite a friend need. " Miss Giendinning," said he, in some- thing of an anxious undertone, " could you give me a couple of minutes ? Are you go- ing into the garden? May I come with you? I want to ask you to do me a great service - how great Lean hardly tell you." . Kathchen was surprised ; for this trim, brisk, bronze-cheoked, shrewd -eyed sports- man generally took things in a very happy- go-luoity, imperturbable fashion. But her instant conjecture was' a natural one. " Be sure thia is about Mamie 1" elle said to her- self. Well, he accompanied her down the stone steps and into the garden, where she began to employ herself in cutting flowers for the dining -room table, while she listened atten- tively enough. " The fact is," said he, " I have just had a letter from home, with no verygood news. My father, who is an old man, has been an s invalid for a great many years, varying in health from time to time ; but now it seem he has had a very bad attack of asthma along with his other ailments, and the doctors have ordered him off to Bourne- mouth-" " I am very sorry," said Kathchen, as in duty bound, " And, I have received an intimation that I may be telegraphed for -I might have to leave here at a 'moment', notice ahnost." He hesitated for a second or so. " Miss Glendinning," he taid, " you see hotv I am situated : I may be called aWay at any moment -With something that is of great importance to me left unsettled. I have been living in a tool's paradise ; I thought there was plenty of time, And then, again, I did not care to confide in any one, Bub now I am going to appeal to you. Mitts Glendinning, will you tell me something in strictest confidence -something you are like- ly to know ? It mhght save your friend - you can guess whom I mean -much embar- rassment, even pain ; and it would be the greatest favor you could poseibly confer on meLd now Ketlichen knew her surmise was correct ; and perhapt she may have been inclined te think that there this was some- thing ineougruout, something even humor- ous, in this ordinarily cool and firm -nerved portion appearing to be afflicted by the hesi- tation of an anxioun lover, only that she was also &ware of the gravity of the situation. For tragid thinge may happen even to the stege, IMete Glendinning," said he, " I want you to tell me if there is anything between Mr. Ross and Mise Stanley." Well, this was a frank challenge ; and she answered it as frankly. " I do not think there ie," she eaid ; "but I think" there might be at any moment. That ie,only my impression and may be quite wrong, and, indeed, have no right to say-" "But I have appealed to you as a friend, to do me this great favor," said he ; and then he paused for a second. ," The fact is,e he went on, as if with some unwilliogness, " I have notited one or two odd things - Miss Staniey's indignation with her brother if be said anything against Mr. Ross -and the painful scene of yesterday evening - these things might lead one to conjecture-ff " Oh, but I'm ture there is nothing be- tween them -nothing at present, at least," said Kathchen, with some earnestness, for this assurance she could honestly give him •, and when did tt perplexed and troubled lover ever appeal„ in -vain to a woman's heart ? " There isi nothing between them st present, I am certain of that ; and wheth- er there ever may be, who can tell ? Both of them have peculiar natures. Both of them are proud e and she besides that, is wilful and intpulsive ; while he is reserved - and -and you might earnest think cold -only that I imagine his studiously keeping away froin her, and treating her with a kind of sdtiassituaNintsoytt.oh,,iivnigli,ty, has tome meaning and in - that struck me as peculiar. And yet you anco yesterday towards Fred Stanley was say there is nothing between him and Mies most remarkable ; that was another thin rather absently. " And yet Ross does not seem to bear any retentment-not against her. No, nor against any one belonging to her, must say for him that his forbear - she ham said to me, Kathohen, there are never rebuild Castle Heimra.' " ated ; there is the old-etsnding feud between coming into the neighborhood tearing down tendon in it. I don't think he would like to bettome the slave of any woman ; and she then both el them are very peculiarly situ - the two familiesi; it must have been hard on him and on his mother to have strangers the old landmarks, There are things that the Highland nature can never forget, and Mary knows that well. Moee than once wrongs that can never bte undone ; I _can -well, she is very independent, too. And " Yes, -yes ; I quite understand," said he, I am tertain," Kethehen as- sured him againi " I am so awfully obliged to you 1" he said, with some little exprestion of relief ; and yet he WaS thoughtful and silent as they walked back to the house-Kathchen hay - ng got all the flowers she wanted. illiThat night, after dinner, when the two young ladies retired to the drawing-roomt Mary seemed somewhat disturbed. " Don't you think it rather strange, Katehen," she said, " that Big Archie brought no message back from Heitora ? I don't Mean an answer to my note. That was not neceseary-it was hardly to be ex- peoted. But why hail he not come to 'say he delivered my letter ?" She went to one of the windows and pull- ed aside part of the blind, The night had turned out rather dark and -squally, and there were spots of rain on the glees that caught the light of the lamps within. " I should like to see Big Archie," said elle, with a vague- restlessness. And then of a sudden she made this abrupt proposal : "Kathchen won't you come down with me into the vill'age ? Barbara says the gentle- men have gone into the billiard -room, for there is a threatening of rain ; but we oould put on water -proofs and run away down there and back without anything being known of it," "Ie it worth while, Mamie V Kathehen remonstrated. " He must have delivered' your note." t • "-Yes, but it is so strange there should be no message of any kind,' said Mary. And then she instantly added, changing her tone, " Of course, it is not at all strange. Only -only Big Archie sometimes takes a glass of whisky, you know, and he might have got some anewer that he has forgotten -peehaps a note that he has left in his pooket-" " Oh, if you like, I will go with you," said Kathchen at once, rather welcoming a little bit of adventure ; and forthwith both of them hurried away to get their water proofs. The night Was dark and blustering ; the ordinarily olee.r twilight ef these northern regions was obscured by heavy clouds, and the wind that blew PI from the *ea brought with it a sense of moisture that promised to become aotual rain. The two bleck ,figures made their way with little difficulty in the direotion of the orange lights of the village the unseen see. washiug up on the beadi close by them. Neither spoke ; but biittri walked quickly -perhaps they wanted to be back to L•ohgarra House before their ab- sence should be known. Then, just sus they were getting near, to the inn, Kate suddenly put her hand on her friend's arm, Ahead of them were two other figures, as black as themselves, but looming larger through the dusk. " That is Big Archie " said Kathohen, in a whisper, " and isn't ;he other Hector ?- yes, I am sure that is Hector 1" At this moment the twooreen dieappeerecl. " I know where they have gone," Mary said promptly. " They have gone into the tap -room behind: Well, we will follow, in case the people in the inn should deny them, Come along, Kathchen, I know the way." The two young women left the main street, crossed a Stable yard, and, guided by the dull glow of a window, went up to a door which Mary entered: The next mo- ment they were gazing into a small sanded parlor, where Gilleatibuig Mor and his friend were standing : Indeed, the two men had not had time to sit down nor yet to or- der anything to drink. The oil lamp on the teble shed a feeble light, but it was quite sufficient to show that'llector, thus caught, was looking terribty guilty, while the great, heavy -shouldered fisherman, whose deep-set gray eyes under the bushy eye -brows seemed to say- that he had already had a glees, in- stantly came to his companion's help. " Aw, well, now," Archie said, in hie plaintive Argyllshire accent, " is it Mimi Stanley herself that would be coming in here -indeed, indeed i -and Hooter, the - honest lad, chist feenished up with ahl his sork-oh, aye -the guns ahl cleaned, and the doge fed, and everything ready for the ohentlemen to -morrow -and me coming bye from the Canna Bheag, and says I, 'Hector, will you come along with me and hef a dram when your work is feenished ?'
