(Publithed Di' DAVID IXALL, by the Copp, Clark Toronto.) Company', • CHAPTWR XII. THE SOWING. "Mist- of the Hills," became th success of a particularly undiethiguished p blishing season, and -attractedd considerable atten- tion. It appealed, with the joy of fieshneee, to the jaded palate, and reviewt, feeling grateful, were not 'stinted in thei praise. Then the clique which followed Merrick's leading took the new author up, and boomed him well. His portrait adorned the Wm- trated pepers ; hie doings were chronicled in every half -penny rag-; he became the in- terviewers' prey, and (gave himself away with the frank joyousness of a guileless soul. While he thus i cheapened himself, those whom experience had made wise too late shook their heads. But no man said him nay, nor pointed out to him the hidden virtue of reticence, thet rare plant which does not •grow in the gerden of to -day. Angus had his own thbughte, which he did not utter, because he felt that strictures from him were now out of place. - • Neil had said he mus have his fling. So long as the fling involved no moral dove - tion, Angus deemed it well to let him alone. But he wee not happy in his silence, nor in the growing estrangement. While Angus was :broad and catholic in his views, and most tolerant in his judgment of others, hal took the narrower estimate of his own posh tion, and even exaggerated its limitations. He held that when a man takes ministerial vows, he givoi up the world, the flesh and the devil, and engages to wage war against them. This he did with the utiiiost con- scientiousness. There were certain places, the theatre among others, from which he held the clergy were debarred. This was a deprivation to him, for he had a fine dram- atic gift himself, and the drama appealed to him powerfully. But liecause of ite evil as. sociations, it was one cif the things, if not unlawful for him, at least inexpedient. For the same reason he set a strict limit to his social tngagements, only game to a few houses where he -felt thormighly at home. •NaturallyMacleod had no such qualms. As Lady Edward had predicted, his table was speedily littered with invitations. Having been e'ected a member of tae Nomadic Club, 1- e became the prey of its members for " afternoone " and evening." at homes," and all the paraphernalia ofBohemian social life. Being unable to distinguish between the invitations, he macle the novice's mis- take, and accepted all. The consequence was that during the early months of the year he was gayer than any debutante in her first season. He enjoyed himself thor- oughly. When the time came for him to look back with regret on his prodigal waste of time during that brief madness, he was able toatake that slight consolation to himself. But as Angus saw him go out night after nieht to club dinner and even- ing route'and noted in him each succeed- ing day the indolence and langour of one who was never abed till the small hours, he was filled with an intolerable regret. The publisher had paid him three hundred pounds on ahcount of royalties on his sales, and to the denary schoolmaster, for whose simple needs ninety -pounds a year had amply sufficed, it seemed little short of a fortune. The means provided by his un- known well -Wisher robbed him of one of the sharpest incentive to work. He could live, though he never wrote another line. Yet his mode of living was se extravagant that more than once he pulled himself up aghast. Theatre tiokete, hansom fares, club dinners, given to literary men with lavish hand, and the thousand expensea incidential to the i life of a man in town, made • very substan. tial inroads into his Modest capital. More I than once he was obliged to execute a pot- I boiler, i. e., a piece of inferior work, in a I hurry, in exchange for a handy ten -pound note, potting, himself in the freshness of his ' powers on a level with the weery racks who have nothing left but the power to clothe attenuated idea e in language which has not altogether lost the charm of their brighter day. These things, Angus, rigidly kept on the outside, noted with dismay, but moat of all he mourned over his continued and growing intimacy at the houte of Lady Edward. Angus had no Positive means of knowing how many visits a week he paid, but he be- lieved that there were -few days that Neil did not knock at the cream -colored door in Burton street, That he met her often- in ' public he also surmised, and .he knew from the Maokinnone that on several occasione I he had been ith ht r a %thole evening in _ het b, x at 0( play.

" Scotland ?" . "No. How beastily inquisitive you are. If you are determined to know, I'm going down to Marlow to visit Lady Edward." For a moment Agus did not speak. " You won's go there, Neil," he said, his fate a little white and stern. " Yes, I will. Merrick is tobe of the party, too, and one or two ladies, the au. Shori of the 'Pink Chrysanthemum,' and Nell's! Finch, the new poetess." " ut Lord Edward will not be there,-" said Angus; "and do you suppose Katie would like it, ?'' "Katie has a lot more sense than you, old ehap," replied Neil, cheerfully. "I've told her all about it long ago, and she, is quit delighted, so a fig for your narrow- minded notions. You are very strait-laced, Ang s, even for a person," v ; I It as, of course, impossible for Angus to say r2ny more. .

His [BEST FRIENDS. • The first face Angus saw -in the Mackini. non drewing-roorti when he entered it with Neil that night Was the face of Enid Lawe thrice. She was not a beautiful womam, but she looked her best, as most women do, in her evening 4ress, which was alwaye carefullea choien and becomingly worn, Her catriage and manner were alike dis4 eingui-lied, and her face, without being dull, hada seridus look. She 'was a woman who gave much thought to the deeper things of life, and who was often out of touch with her :environment. Why she limpid bevel:levity eciopted by Lord Kilrah vock, no one kneehexcept himself. He was. not a good man a but he had been carefull of the orphan gir'l whose maintenance and' up bringing he had taken upon himself, and; to her he was tIttisi embodiment of all that was generous a 41 kind. -- She loved him dearly, but, RS she grew older she found her. self puzzling over, certain apparent contra.: dictionh in his eharacter and life. She found ia eiffieuft I to reconcile his habisual; g;)odnees to her With his selfish harshness tce, others, and the ltfe he led as a- man of the world, who had ho belief in, or hope for: anything beyond gave her many a sorroW-j ful hour. She had spent the five most im- pressionable, liceause the questioning, yeara of her life at -a boarding echool kept by_a woman as renowned for her Christian piety as for her scholastic accomplishments.: From her Enid had received- a religious training, and teeurned to the house of hee ad pted father With the highest ideals cofl. cerning her own hositiop and responsibility, Gradually she had been compelled to lay aside these ideate, so far as they- inemedi. ately concerned her home life, not because they were less dear to her, but because she found them impoesible .ot fulfilment. Lor Kilravock was kind and indulgent, but h would brook no interference with his affairs nor any criticiem' of his conduct. Ile, di not pr pose to aloer his own course for his ward's sake, though he took care that she should not come in contact with any of his acquaintancee who were not absolutelycote rect. He Allowed her the utmost freedom, and an milemited expenditure of ,means, without asking a single question. Enid soon found what a joyful potisession ie wealth to the heart that can feel for the deprivation of others. How much she eaur ally gave away, and how. little she spent upon herself, Lord Kilravock did not dream, He thought her naturally somewhht narrow in her views, bat his large acquaintance among women w oso vrewe were not nan row in any sense f Ithe world, only proved to him her supra rity over them all. She was the embodirh nt of perfection in hia eyes, and because she was the child of the only woman he hrld ever loved, and wile had given him p through conscientioui scruples, he loved her with a peculier ten, derness of whioh Enid was quite conscious, though she did not underetand it. The isolation of her life and her studious habits had engendered strong convictions, which she had courage tp uphold. But even those to whom her frenkness sometimes unwit4 tingly gave offence did not dream of. calling her pronounced ; mho had no part nor lot with the modern woman for whose insane clamour she had nothing but contempt. Yet she took a Wise and catholic interest in all matters pertaining to the real ad. vancement of her 'sex, and anticipated a time when experience Should entitle her to take some active partIn its forward movement., Such,then was the woman to whom Angus Fraser felt pereistently and inexplicably drawn, recognizing in her intuitively a kin- dred .soul. She was talkingly animatedly to an Arctioexplerer who was at the time a figure in London drawing -rooms, and her face betrayed thedepth and intelligence of her interest in the convereation. She was not too much absorbed, however, that she did not' observe the entrance of Angus Fraser and his friend, both a whom she recognized with a bow and a pleasant Smile as they made their way across the room b their hostess, Neil Macleod had entirely lost the diffident manner which had been his dominant characteristic when he first came to town. I He now carried himeelf with assurance,- 'though his manner was quiet -and sincere: - It had a little dignified hauteur in it that night, saying plainly he was determined to show these fine friends of Angus that other people could be proud and standoffish as well as they. But no-one could sustain each an attitude for more than a moment to Mrs. Ilticakinnon, the sweetest of women. For those she invited to her house she had a motherly smile, an indeseribable, kindly, old-fashioned warmth • which disarmed everything. In a moment Neil Was himself; his best self, and Angus stepped aside well pleased. -He was doubly delighted when he found that his hoiden required him to take in Miss Lawrenee, sending Neil with her hider daughter, Anne. It was not a large party, and it was one rarely well chosen, the delightful talk gradually becoming general ; a matter of congratulation td all but one. Angus Frio aer wanted to talk to his partner alone, but found no opportunity till an hour later in the drawing-roona, between the songs. He made no apology, for attaching himself to her again when they came , upstairs ; and she appeared to need none. Enid Law. reticle was -interested in him on other grounds than the fact that he was by far the handsomest man in the room. "1 saw -you at Trinity on Sunday morn- ing," he said, looking down into her bright face, with a strange glow in his own eyes. I go manly_ mornings, but not alwaye to our friends' pew. Sometimes 1 sit quite near the door. 1 never go empty' away." She looked up at him as she uttered these words'and her eyes shone. Angus could not utter a word. "You never send me einpey away," she repeated. "Bat I do not know that as yet I have more than a thousand vague longings to be something I am not, and can, I fear, scarcely hope now to be. I have been seeking so long." "Dear Miss Lawrence, what can you mean? You are a Christian." "-Professionally, yes," she said frankly. "But there is something else. 1 take no joy in it, the joy you take in your message, which makes your face shine as you deliver It, For me the door is shut, and I cannot find the key." Both were silent then, Angus almost in- controllably moved. " Pernaps you try too much—lay too much etress on mere feeling. The joy of the Chrietian life is a matter of growth. I do not remember a time when I did not be- lieve, but it is only of late that the joy you describe has been mine. - It is the outcome of intimate study of the word of God—a perpetual waiting on His mind and will. " "Yes," she answered, and her eyes were full of a great wistfullness. " One day I shalltome to you, perhaps, and ask you to speak to me further. Meantitne, is it hot a strange conversation for a London draw- ingroom, and much too serious? How well your friend looks, and how proud you must be of him. I remember the first time I saw him at Lady Edward Granth- am's he looked different." • "He did. How does the change strike you, Miss Lawrence'?" aeked Angus, struck by her words. "He has gained a good deal—acquired the tone and menner of good eociety, " she answered, with a slight smile. "1 suppose that he has also lost something." • " Sometimes I fear I have altogether lost my friend," said Angus quietly. "Is it so bad as that?" Her eyes were sweetly sympathetic as she spoke. '" Mist of the Hills' was a good book. Will ' he ever write another ? "He hopes to write many, I assure you." "Oh yes, I daresay; but another so well worth the writing ?" she maid significantly, as she watched Inm turn over the leaves of her cousin Anne's music. "That is the question I ask myself many times '• and I have tried to reason with him. But -at preeent he is headstrong, and will tee nothing but what pleases himself." "You arehroubled about him, then. I have thought so more than once." "At the present moment I am greatly troubled, Miss Lawrence," Angus answer- ed frankly." "Perhaps you can help me. You may have heard that he is to be of Lady Edward's Easter party at Marlow. " "Yes, I have heard," !' He ought not to go there, Miss Law- rence. He is engaged to one of the sweet- est girls in the world. I have not the honor of Lady Edward's acquaintance, but the flirtation if that is the word, between her and Mazdeod has become notorious." "It has." Mies Lawrence nodded, and the colour was very vivid on her cheeks. "It is bad enough in London," perused Angus mercilessly, the matter of such moment to him that he could not spare her. "But in a country house-- If you can atop this visit; Miss Lawrence, it will be not only a kindly, hilt a Christian act," "1 cannot step it. The only thing I can 'do is to go down to The Cottage myself." "As Lady Edward's guest ? ' " If you like to put it so ; but as a mat- ter of tact, The Cottage is mine. It be- longs to Lord Kilravock, but he has willed it to me. Ho has lent it to Lady Edward only while he is absent at Monte 'Carlo. I intended going to Paris with my aunt Mac- Kinnon and the girlie?' "It would involve some sacrifice on your part, then ? " Miss Lawrence gave her shoulders an ex- pressive ehrug. "A serious sacrifice. I shall not enjoy myself at Marlow, Mr.. Fraser, but I am going all the same, for the sake of the sweetest girl in the world." Both were silent for a moment. She was the first to speak. "Betty doesn't want me, so I shall be the uninvited guest • but shall keep my hand on the reins, Mr. Fraser. and the turnout shall not go too fast. I know how anxious you are, and the grounds you havit for it. I have heard many wlaose opinion is worth , having, entrees regret that Mr. Macleod should comport himself with so. little reserve- He has made him- self common talk ; it takes a man some time to live that down, but I hope he will. Is he not likely to marry soon ? "Not very soon, I am afraid." "Can the young lady not be induced to come to London on a visit'?" "She is corning early in Mayto her aunt, Mrs. Malcolm, of Porchester Terrace." "Oh, I have heard of Mrs. Malcolm from my cousins. Couldn't she come up in a hurry now ? Surely then Mr. Macleod would give up Marlow. " "I suspect ebe would have been here by now if he had not told her to postpone her coming until her returned from this visit." Enid elevated her brow,. "Diplomacy ! Well,- I shall see Lady Edward to -morrow, and then for:, Marlow and literary society. Just look at him now. How interested he seems in my cousin Anne, It is among such people he wousd grow to his full height. Lady Ed- ward's influence is blighting and withering to all that is best in man or woman." "You speak bitterly, Miss Lawrence. " "Because I feel eo. She is married to one of the best of men'whose heart she has broken. She has tvvodear children, whose mother she does not deserve to be. It is these things that hurt," she said, with a shiver. "How can God permit it, to give her such power over men and women? It is cruel, cruel. When I think of it, it is more than I can bear. At that moment their hostess interrupted them. "You two have monopolised one another quite long enough. Come, Mr. Fraser, we want a real- Highland lament, You look grave enough to give us one to move us all. ". He made his way to the piano without hesitation or excuse. He had a fine musi- cal gift, which had not been cultivated.

Returni g from • an informal luncheon at the Iackinnons' early one afternoon, Angus Fitaser met Miss Lawrence driving in the outer circle of Regent's Park. Her face brightened as she recognised bim, and she gave the co chinan word to stop.

" Of course I have wishe to see you about my Mario* experiencesJ I am going on to Sus- sex Place now. Ila e you been there ?" "Yes, how wel you are looking, Miss Lawrence.
