Watson' Sewing shiugle and setnweed ; Big Archie steppe out and pulled it up a bit farther. He did not quite understand at first what was de- manded of him ; perhape he was a tride scared by the unusual look on Miss Stan- ley's face -the pallid cheeke,the piteous and anxious eyes ; but when he did compre- hend, his aniswer was a serious and earnest remonstrance. " Aw, Dyeea, do you not see what it is threateniug out there ?" said he, quite con- cerned. "1 do not care about that," she answered im. "If the Sirene can go out, so can ou. And you have the sail up, Archie !" " Aye, aye, indeed," he excleirned, "be - lease I was thinking of going round to au LEGAL. Gobhar, to hef a look at the lobster -traps. But wheu I lwas seeing the bad weather threatening, and the glass down, then I was just going out to the boat to getithe sail lowered again and the young lad brought ashore.

It is into Heimra Bay that 1 am going; and therels the house.; and Martha will lief your clothes dried for you, (nem, and give you warm food and such things. Aud mebbe the gale will quiet down a little in the afternoon, or mebbe to -morrow it will quiet down, and we will get back to Loch- garra; but it is not weather for an open boat at ahl." She made no answer. She did not seem to care. She sat there with eyes fixed and haggard: perhaps it was not the cliffs of Heimra she saw before her, but the wild headlands of Western Ross, and a lurid and thundering sea, and a small phantom -gray yacht flyiog for shelter. She appeared to take no notice as they rounded the stormy point with ite furious, boiliog surge, and as they gradually left behind them that roar- ing waste of waves, escaping into the friend- ly quietude of the land -locked little bay. She was quite passive in Awchie's hands - getting into the small boat listlessly when the lugger had been brought to anchor; and when she stepped ashore she set out to walk up to the house, he ',respectfully following. But she had miscalculated her strength. For 006 thing, she had not tasted food since the middle of the previous day; nor had she once closed her eyes during the night. Then she was dazed with the wind and the rain ; her clothes clung to her and chilled her to the bone; the feverish anxiety of the morning had left her nerves all unstrung. Indeed, she could not drag tierself up the beach. She went a few steps -hesitated -- turned round as if seeking for help in a pite- ous sort ef way -then she sank on to the rooks, and abandoned herself to a passion of grief and despair from sheer weakneea. " I cannot go up the house, Archie," she said in a half -hysterical fashion, amid her choking aobs, "and -and why should I go -to an empty house? It -it is empty -you -you let the Sirene sail away -but -but never mind that -it is all my faul -more i, than you know. And I want you o leave me here, Archie -go away back o Looh- garra-there is no one cares what becomes of me -what does it matter to any one?

Archie, he must see us -he can- not help seeing us !" she exclaimed. "When we are getting dose to Heimra, then he can- not help seeing us -he will understand -and surely he will come back !" - And meanwhile the gale had been increas- ing in fury; the wind moaning low and whistling shrill alternately, the high -spring- ing spray rattling down on the boat with a noise as of gravel. The old lugger groaned and etrained and creaked -burying herself -shaking herself -reeling before the pon- derous blows of the surge ; but Archie gave it her will; there was no timorous shivering up into the wind. Hie two hands gripped the sheet -the tiller under his arm; his feet wedged firm against the stone ballast; his mouth set herd ; his 6yes clear enough in spite of the driving rain and whirling foam. And now this island of Heimra was drawing nearer -if the Sirene far away in the south had almost vanished. " Look now, Archie !-look now, for I can see nothing," she said, piteously. He raised himself somewhat, and scanned the southern horizon as well as the heaving and breaking billows would allow. " Aw, no, mem, the Sirene is not in sight at ahl-not in sight at ahl now," he said, -She uttered a stifled little cry, as of de- spair. "Archie," she said, "could you not fol- low down to Loch-Torridon !" " Aw, God bless us. mem, the boat would not live long in a sea like this -it is getting worse and worse every meenit-" "Very well," said she. wearily, "very well.

She had cling to the gunwale to ,prevent her bei hurled from her seat, for the lugger w lebouring sorely, and staggering under the successive shocks; but all the same h eyes, though they smarted from the 8 foam, were following the now distant Sire with a kind of wild entreaty in them, though she would fain have called across t waste of waters. "Can they eee us, Archie ?-can they s us ?" she cried. "Could not the boy di up to the mast -head and wave something " Aw, no, mem," said Archie, " they to far aweh. They are far tco far aw And they are not thinking we are looki towards them," "But if we keep right on to Heimra said she, in her deperation. "Surely th will see we are making for the islan they will come back-" "They would just think it wet the Gi Ciotach going out to look after the lobs traps," said Archie. " Not in this weather !" she urged. " in this weather! They must see it is so thing of importance. They will see the b going out to Heimra-they are sure to co back, Archie -they' are certain to c back !" " We will hold on for Heimra if you w it, mem-but there's a bad sea getting u said Archie, with his eyee on those tumu ous swift -running masses of water,the cr ing into which caused even this heavy c to quiver from stem to etern. By this t the heavens had still further darke around them -a boding gloom, anoints ed, as it was, by a fitful hewling of wi while rain was falling in torrents. Net this latter mattered very much, fir were all of them drenched to the skin the seas that were leaping high from lugger's bows; only that the deluge th ened all the air, so that it became more more difficult to catch a glimpse of the fast -receding Sirene. Archie paid little attention to the yacht; he seemed have no lthpe of attracting her Inotice ; he was greatly distressed about tbe co tion of the young mistress of Lochgarra "11 I had known, mem-if I had kn early in the morning -I would have bro something to cover you," said he, i cents of deep commiseration. "It is a g peety-" "Never mind about that, Archie" she. "Don't you think they must now that we are making for Heimra ?" "They are a long weh aweh," said Archie, shaking the salt water from his brows and beard. "And they will be' ing after themselves now. It was a stra thing for Mr. Ross to pet out with a coming on." " Is there any danger, Archie ?" eaid, quickly. "Are they going into danger?" Archie was silent for a second. "1 am not knowing what would mek Ross start out on a moarning like said he. "And where he is going I c seh.

And -and .1 don't think 1 should care to come back."' She furtively wiped away the tears from her bashes; Kathchen did not notice. They were passing through the hall now. '1 cannot understand what you mean, Maude. What is it? What has happened? Did you see Mr. Roes when you were at Heimra? I heard that the iSirene had left the morning you went out -and I took it for granted that Mr. Rose had gone with her-" "Kathchen, to please me," she said, be- seechingly, " will you never mention Heim- ra again? Mr. Ross is away -and -and I have been to the Wand for the last time; that is all." When they went into the room, she threw herself down on a couch, and put her clasp- ed hands on the arm of it, and hid her face. She was not crying; she merely seemed overcome with fatigue and lassitude. Kate Glendinning knelt down beside her, and with gentle fingers caressingly stroked and smoothed the beautiful golden brown hair that had been all dishevelled by the wind. " What is it Mamie ?" "Tell me about the farms, Kathchen," was the answer, uttered in a hopeless kind of way. "1 don't know anything about farm work, except what I have been told since 1 came here. Aro the crops so com- pletely destroyed,? Would not fine weather give them another chance? Surely entire ruin cannot have. been muted by one gale - gales are frequent on this coast-" "This one came at a bad time, Mamie," said her oompaaion ; "and a great part of the corn will have to be cut and given to the cows. But why ehould you distress yourself unnecessarily? It was none of your fault. You have done everything for these poor people that could be devised. And, I tell you, they seem used to mistortunes of this kind; there is no bewailing; their de- spondency has become a sort of habit with theni-" "Send for Mr; Purdie ; I wish to eee him "-this was what came from those closed hands. Bnt the next moment she had thrown herself upright. "No 1" she said, fiercely. "No, I will not see Mr. Purdie. With my consent, Mr. Purdie shall not enter this house again." "Mr. Purdie left oa the very day you went out to Hamra," said Kathohen, gently; and then she went on "You are hiding something from me, Mamie. Well, I will not ask any further; I will wait. But I an afraid you are very much fatigued and upset, and I can see you are not well, Now will you be persuaded, Mamie If you will only go to bed you will have a far more thorough rest; and I will bring you something that will make you sleep. Why, your forehead is burning hot and your hands quite cold !-and if you were to get seriously ill, that wouldi be a good deal worse for the crofters than the flatten- ing down of the corn !" She was amenable enough '• she consented to be led away; she was ready to do any- thingasked ofher-exceptl to touch food or drink. And yet the next morning she was up and out of the house before any one WAS awake, and she was making away for the solitude of the hills. She wished to be alone -and to look at the wide sea. She walked slowly, but yet het sick heart was resolute; the aeduous toil of getting up the lower slopes and corries, filled with bracken and rocks and heather, did not hinder; she turned from time to time to look, absently enough, at the evergreenish turquoise of the sky. ,And in time she had got over this rough ground, and had reached the lofty and sterile plateaus of peatbog and grass, where if it was loneliness she sought, she found it. No sign of life; no sound, except the plain- tive all of a greenshank from a melancholy tarn; no movement, save that of he silver- gray masses of cloud that came over from the west. But away out yonder was the deserted island of Helms ; and far in the south were the long, black promontories- Ru-Minard; Ru-Gobhar' and the rest -be- hind which a boat woulddisappear when it left for other lands. And had she heard of the Fhir-a- Bhata ? Did Kate Glendin- ning know of the song that is the most fa- miliar, the greatest favorite of all the West Highland songs ; and had she told her friend of the maiden who used to go up the cliff. day by day, to watch for the coming of her lover ?- " I climb the mountain and scan the ocean For thee, my boatman, with fond devotion : When shall I see thee ?-to-day ?.-to-morrow? Oh, do not leave me in lonely sorrow ! Broken-hearted I droop and languid, And frequent tears show mejbosom's anguleh : Shall I expect thee to-nightto cheer me? Or close the door, sighing and weary." Thi., at least, Kate Glendinning soon began to learn -that nearly every morning now Mary left the house entirely by herself, and was away by herself in these desolate alti- tudes. It was clear she wished for no com- panionship, and Ka thchen did not offer her services. Nor was any reference made to these solitary expeditions. The rest of the day Mary devoted herself to her usual work -increased, at this time, by her inves- tigations into the extent of the injury done by the gale: as to the rest there was sitence. And thus it was that Kathchen remained ignorant of this curious fect-that day by day these excursions were gradually being shortened. Day by day Mary Stanley found that her strength would t et carry her quite so far: she had to be content with a lesser height. And at last she had alto- gether to abandon that laborious task of slowly, and/ slowly and deliberately he took off his jacket. His brows were frown- ing " We will just settlesthis thing now, Ar- chie," said he, stepping up on to the slip spin. "We will see who is the better man, you or I. You can catch a quick grip -oh yes and you have strength in your arms; but'maybe in an honest fight you will not do so well-" , "Oh, be peaceable !-be peaceable !" said Big Archie. "If you want fighting, go and seek out some of the Minard lads -though that would be carrying timber to Lochaber, as the saying is." "Andrew, my son," said the little old man in the boat, "There is the baintighear- na come to the door." The Gillie Ciotaoh glanced towards the poroh of the cottage: and there sure enough was Miss Stanley -and also Martha. "14 is the luck of Friday that is on me," he said, with a laugh, "for I am the one that was to stop all the fighting. Well, come awalteup to the house, Archie; you are a friendly man; and if she asks why I was taking off my jacket, you will swear to her that I Was only searching for my pipe. For a lie is good enough for women at any time." ' They got up to the house, and the Gillie Ciotach delivered his parcels and the news- papers and one or two letters, and said that Mise Glendinning had sent him over to tike back assiiinnoes of their safety. " But I was telling the lady there was no chance ist harm," said he; "for we saw Mies Staley go on board, and we saw Ar- chie's lugger standing in for Heimra, and everyonaknew there wonld be good shelter from the storm-" " And the Sirene, Andrew -have you heard a4thing of the Sirens ?" Mary asked, quickly+and her eyes were alert and an- xious, if the rest of her features looked tired and worn. " Avv,i the Skutt, mem ?" said the Gillis Ciotach,1 confidently. "1 am sure the Si- rens is just as safe as any of no. There's no harm (miming to the Sirene, mem, as long u Mr. Ross himself is on board. It's the God's truth I'm telling ye, mem. Mr. Ross he wour put in to Loch Broom or Loch Ewe; nd he knows every anchorage to half a fathol7 1 and with plenty of chain out,and an anc or-watoh, where would the harm be coming to him?" "You have no doubt of it; Andrew ?" " as sure as death, mem !" said the Gillie 9iotach, with an almost angry vehem- ence. Shet,iseemed a little relieved. "A d the sea outside, Andrew -is it very bad VI a bit wild," he admitted, and then he added, with a cool audacity, "but mebbe Miss 1Stan1ey would be for going back with,rne now, if Archie is too afraid to go out ? ' "(b, no, thank you," said she. "If Archie does not think it safe, I should not thinle of venturiog. I will wait for him - thank you all the same." Here there was an awkward pause. Mary left the little group, walking over to the edge of the plateau, to get a better view of the distant and troubled line of the sea. The Gillie Ciotach stood twirling his Glen- garrY bonnet. Then he said timidly to Martha : "Are there any empty casks going back V' "None but yourself, Andrew, my lad," said Martha, with a dark smile in her eye. At this he plucked up spirit. ", There's a way of curing that, as you kndw, Martha." said he. "And its manyht the time I have come out to Heimra, and I never before bad to complain of going away like an empty cask." "And you need not oomplein of it now, Andrew, my boy," said Martha. "Come away round to the kitchen, and I will get you something -aye, and you will take sothething down to old Dugald, too. For although the master of the house is not in hia own home, I know his wish ; and it is I 1who would get the blame if any one went away hungry or cold from Eileen Heimra," But it was not until the afternoon that Big Archie considered it prudent to cross to the mainland • and a rough passage they had of it. Mary, however, was on this oecasion provided with an abundance of wraps, and leas indifferent to wind and spray and rain. Possibly there may have been other reasons for her apathy. Kate Glendinning was down at ehe slip beside the quay. "Mamie she exclaimed, when her friend landed, " what took you out to Heimra on that wild morning ? I could not believe it when I was told. And I sent over to know you were safe as soon as I could get any one to go. WhaVis the meaning of it alt? If you had nen the people watching the boat -they did not know what might happen." " I cannot explain, and you must not ask, Kathohen now or at any time," was her an - ewer. " B'ut tell me, has the gale done much fialnage ? The harvest was looking so well in those little patches-" " Damage? ' said Kathchen. " It isn't damage, Mamie, it is destruction-devasta- Ition-everywhere. Oh, it is pitiable. The 'corn beaten down -the crofts flooded-tvell, well the only thing to be said is that the poor people are not so disheartened as you might expect. Perhaps they are used to such bitter disappointments, I do believe this place is fit Gaily for sheep -and hardly fit for then 1." "What can I do, Kathohen ?" said Mary, with a curious listlessness, "beyond lower- ing their rent again? I suppose that is all I can do. They would not go to Manitoba with me; would they Kathchen? Do you think they would? Would you now ?" , The huge, lumbering, good-hearted fisher- man was in a sad plight: he knew not in the least what to do; he stood there irreso- lute, the deepest concern and sympathy in his eyes, himself unable or not daring to utter a word. But help. was atehand. For here was Martha; hurrying along as fast as her aged limbs would allow, and bringing with her a great fur rug. "Dear, dear me !" she exclaimed as she came up. "What could mek Miss St -sp- lay venture out o' the house on a daytlike this ?" And therewith she put the rug round the girl's shoulders, and got her to her feet, and with many encouragements and consolatory phrases, assisted her on her way up from the shore. "1 will get a nice warm bed ready for you at once, mem," said the old dame, "with plenty of blankets; and I will bring you something hot and comfortable for you, for you hef got ferry, ferry wet. Dear, dear me !-but we'll soon -hof you made all right; for Mr. Ross would be an angry man, aye, indeed, if he was hearing that Mies Stanley had come to Heimra, and not everything done for her that could be done." But when, after struggling through the blinding rain, they reached the porch, and when Martha had opened the front door, Miss Stanley did not go farther than the hall: she sank exhausted into the solitary chair there. "Martha," she said, "do not trouble about me. I want to ask you a question. Did Mr. Ross -say where he was going, when he left in the Sirene this morning ?' "No, mem-not a word," Martha simmer- ed her," about where he was going, or when he was coming back. It was a strange way of leaving -and in the face of such weather; but young people they hef odd fancies come in their head. Think of this, mem, that he never was near the house last night; he was aweh up the hill; and I'm feared that he was saying good-bye to his motherte grave and that it will be long ere we see him heel( in Heimra again. Tor he is a etrange young man -and not like others. But you'll come aweh now, mem, and get off your wet thing(' ; it is 111.r. Ross himself would be terribly angry if you were not well cared for in this house." The day without was sombre and dark; and the light entering here was wan ; per - hap.' that was the cause of the singular al- ternation in Mary Stanley'', appearance. She -who had hitherto, been always and ever the very embodiment of buoyant youth and health and high spiiits-now looked old. And her eyes were as i night had fallen upon them. duAPrE xxv. ORS.

All that day the gale, did not abate in fury • nor yet on the next • and even on the third' day Gilleaebuig Mor still hesitated about trying to get back to Loohgarra, for the sea was running high, and the wind blew id angry gusts and squalls. But on the morning of thio third day communica- tion with the main -land was resumed • for shortly after eleven o'clock a lug -sail 'boat made its. appearance, coming round the point into.the little bay; and at a glance Archie knew who this must be -this could be no other than that venturesome dare- devil the Gillie Ciotach, who had doubtless been sent out by Miss Glendinning to gain tidings of her friend. Big Archie went down to the slip to await the boat's arrival. And when the Gillie Ciotach, whose sole companion was a little, old, whito-headed man :Ailed Dugald MacIsanc, came ashore, he was in a triumphant mood over his ex- ploit, and had nothing but taunts and jeera for the storm -stayed Archie. " Aw, God," said he (in Gaelio) as he fetched out the parcels that had come by the mail for Martha, "there is nothing makes me laugh so much as a Tarbert man when there is a little breeze of wind any- where. A Tarbert man will hide behind a him door ; and if a rat squeaks, his heart is in his mouth. For what is Loch Fyne? Loch Fyne is only a ditch. A Tarbert man does not learn anything of the sea; he runs away behind a door if there is a puff of wind blovving anywhere. And have you token possession of Heimra, Archie? Are you go- ing to stay here forever? Are you never going back to Lochgarra?" "Andrew," slid Big Archie, quite good- naturedly, "you are a clever lad; but may- be you do not know what the wise man of Mull said: he said, 'The proper time is bet- ter than too soon.'" "Too soon? And is it too soon, then, for me to come over ?" said the young man of the slashed forehead and the bold eye, 11 OTTOLENN FRYINGlAN Has come not a little knowledge as to cook- ery—what to do, as wel as what not to do.

That is what makes me mindful. You ?-who cares, whether you and your packages of tea go to the bottom ?" But the Gillie Clotach was so elate ove this achieeement of his that, instead o bandying further words, he stood up to Bi Archie, and began to spar, dancing from side to aide, and aiming cuff i at him with his open hand. The huge, good-humored giant bore this for a while, merely trying te- ward off these playful blows; but at laat-i- the Gillie Ciotach unwarily offering an op- portunity -Archie suddenly seized him by the breeches and the scruff of the neck, and by a tremendous effort of strength heaved him off the slip altogether -heaved him ineo a bed of sea -weed and sand.

And aa for being ill, I know what will make me well. It is only sleep I want. It is the sleepthatknows no waking that I wish for." Kathchen burst out crying, aud flung her- self down on her knees, and put her arms round her friend. "Mamie, I declare to you I will not rest until you tell me what this is !

And that very evening, after an unheard-of pleading and coaxing on the -one side and despairing proteet on the other, all those recent occurrences were con- fided to the faithful Kathchen. She was a little bewildered at first, but she had a nimble brain.
