CHAPTER XVIII.
A BOLT FROM THE BLUE:
Disgusted with himself, and weary of is
chance acquaintance, Macleod abrup ly
bade him good -night at the theatre dor,
and walked off home. He had seldom flelts
more thoroughly out of sorts; he was, 'n-
cleed, at war with the world, and ready to
blame every one except himself fOr a eon i -
Mon of things hateful to him. He felt t at
the gulf between him and the old life as
gradually widening ; he became consee us
that it had become almost impassable w en
he entered the sitting -room at Rua ell
Square, and saw Angus Fraser sitting i a
cornfortieble chair, smoking a congenial pi e,
his pliteid face.wearing a look of suprene
content. His was the welhearned leis re
of a man who knew the value of time, nd
who gave to no hour of the day a,n unwort y
thought or a base act. He lived at pe ce
with mankind, doing the duty which lay to
his hand, and his reward was not lacki g.
Macleod felt an insane desire to pic a
quarrel with him-; his complaceney was n -
suiting to a man out ot joint with eve y -
thing. The calm, even tones of the vo ce
which bade him a pleasant good even'ng
irritated him; and his only reply was to
pull off his boots and kick them savag ly
aerops the room: Angus saw that thi gs
were not well with him, and after his flat
glance at his face resumed his study of is
book. But he did not read another word
,
"Can't you say something, Angus ? Xou
are always so beaetly priggish and uns ei-
"spoke," observed Angus, mildly, "
uck me that. you were not Declined

not. I'd like to fight somebo
I'm eh:0e of it alt ; of myself, of everythi
u t
to
y.
g•
Why did nobody tell me it would be like
th is ?" •
lt was the useless clamor of a child to
whom it were vain to adduce reaso a.,
Angus could not forbear a smile. He e-
rnembered that mood in student days, when
examinations were a nightmare to th ir
souls, and they rebelled against those in Li-
thority over them,
"What's happened to you to -night, Ne 1?
Have you dined ?
" Oh, yes, at the Wanderers'; the woest
dinner 1 ever ate in my life. Why they
pretend to cdter for anybody at some of the
clube, I can't think."
"Six months ago you did not know a
good dinner from a bad one, but were gl d
to eat a wholesome meal," add Ang s,
laughing outright. "You have made gre t
strides."
" Can you never speak a word to me th t
a sneer or a jibe, Angus -?"1 enquir d
eil, darkly.
"Oh, yes, but I'm entitled to My sm 11
j ke. You lay eyourself open to it, lad,
N hen you behave like a fool," said Angie,
slightly roused. He had borne much t
Neil's hands—silence, coldness, e4en ru e-
ness—and he was growing ea little weary lot
the strain, perhaps because • hope was dini-
mer in his heart than it had been concern-
ing his friend. Angus had long 'regretted
the arrangement about sharing the roonis,
but so long as Neil did nOt openly desire a
ehange, he determined to say nothing
until after his return from his autumn holi-
day. Then he had determined to suggest e
new arraneenient.
"Don't get your monkey up. You don't
know What I've got to worry me. I'll t11
you what, Angus, Enid Lawrence is a co •
foundedly meddlesome young woman, a d
needs putting in her place,"
This wile so unexpected that Frase
Color rose. He had been thinking of h
but a moment ago. Ah ! when was she now
absent from his thoughts?
"I don't know what you mean," he sa d
coldly ; but at the same trine he waited wi h
inward eagerness to hear the suM of h r
offence.
"She took it upon herself this fterno n
to call on Katie at Mrs,. Malcolm'sf with°. t
introduction ,of any sort. Don't you cell
that cheek ?"
"Well, it dependt on the motive
Motive ! She had none, but a hanke -
ing to poke her nose into other people}'a
tusiness—mine, in fact. _ And then s e
brought her on to that club tea I told you I
was going -to in Fleet street, after I told
Katie 'latey it was a place I didn't care she
should be seen at,"
"What was the objection to it, seeing
11
you went yourself and Mist Lawrenoe
thought it right ?"
--
"Oh, it isn't good enough," replied Mao-
leod,'vaguely . " You've never been there
or yon wouldn't ask the question. But let
me go on. She evidently had plied Katie
well -with question!, and put a lot of min
chief into her. She actually demanded an
introdaction to Lady Edward."
She was entitled to it, if she wished it
said Angue, quickly, his interest growing.
" Well, what else ?"
" Oh, I presented her, and Lord knows
what ehe said --something she ought not, of
course. I could see that by her look ; and
after it Lady Edward simply out me,"
"1 hope she'll keep it up," observod
Angus, drily. "1! her ladyehip would tal e
the sensible course you ought to have taken
long ago, there would be no fur ther comp i -
cat ions."
"There needn't be any now, if only Kat'e
would be reasonable. I excuse her a; got d
deal because ef the appalling narrowness of
her life, but, really, there are some things a
fellow can't stand, and I'm net going to be
badgered all my days by a petticoat. 111
tell her so to -morrow. I must have some
latitude."
"Von claim a good deal, I think," sad
Angus, drily, as before. .Elie indignation
was rising; very little more and it wou d
overflow. But Neil's next remark °hang d
the current of his thought,
"As for Miss Lawrence, I have an ap
pointrnent with Lord Kilraveck at bis house
to -morrow, and after it I may be the favor
of five minutes' conservation with . her, so
that I may give her a piece of my mind."
This vague threat, which Angus knew
would never be put into execution, seem d
Of less importance than the appointment t.
self.
"1 did not know you had any a:quer t-
ance with Lord Kilravock, Neil."
I hadn't until to -day. Merrick intr
duced me at Palace Yard, and hie lerdsh p
asked me to call at his house to -morrow t
twelve. I haven't the ghost of an idea wh t
he wants, but of course I'll go."
" Oh, of oourse," murmured Angus, b t
his face was troubled, He felt a vague sen e
of an approaching crisis, which would n t
be a pleasant one.
" Katie is going home very soon, I he r.
Monday at latest." .
"Is she ?" asked Neil, and it was as if e
spoke with studied carelessness.
"She hasn't enjoyed her visit muc
and her health is feebler than when e e
came'
"Her' own fault. She mopes and broo e.
If she would take a broad and healthy vi w
of things, she would be happier; and o
should I."
• "When are you going to marry h r,
Neil ?" asked Anus'bluntly. "There o n
be no doubt, I think, that she expected o
hear something definite about it. You a e
quite in a position to marry."
" Am I ?" asked Neil, with a mirthl s
laugh. "I'm stony broke at this mome t,
and I'll have to get an advance from
publishers soon."
"And when aro you going to stop t e
railroad pace ?"
"Ob, by-and-by; the money seems
fly ; yet I don't drink, and I have no oth r
vice. This London is a perfect sink f r
gol&"Have you been at Porcheeter Terrace co
night ?"
"Not 1. I've been at the Empire, if
you'd like to know, with a worse bounder
than myself; and that's saying a good dei 1.
pood-night. You can pray for me if y u
like. 'God knows I need it."
With these bantering words, spoken h lf
in jtste half in earnest, Neil lounged out f
the room and hurried to bed, glad to sle k
in sleep a respite from harrassing thoug t.
For the time being 'the cut direct Lady E..
ward had given him at her carriage do.r
filled his whole horizon, to the exclusion of
everything else. He would see her teem r.
row was his last feverish thought, and de-
mand a full explanation ; he would ma e
her tell hiin everything Katie had said. B t
Neil's acquaintance with great ladies iv
limited, nor did he know the infinite
source of a woman qf the world.
Punctually on the stroke of the next no n
he presented himself at the door of Lo d
Kilravock's house in Cadogan Place. It wt 8
an unpretending abode. When Neil b
held the narrow hall and confined stairca e,
he marvelled that a person of _Lord Kilroy -
oak's position and standing, who had a
palace on the green shores of Lack Dorlic ,
should find it suffice. He was at on'e
shown into a well -furnished library, whe e
he was informed by -an elderly man-serva t
that his lordehip 'would join him in a m
Rica. Macleod was mildly curious, f
course, concerning the matter Lord Kilra
ock wished to discuss with him but he w
net conacious of any tremor or misgivin .
Therefore he was able to greet him wi h
courbeeue indifference when he entered t e
room, taking care that the door was secure y
shut behind him.- He was pale, and a c...r
tain nervousness, unusual to him, was o
servable in his bearing ; it did not, howev r,
make any impression on Neil.
" Do you know what I was thinking be-
fore you entered, Lord Kilravock ?" he sai
when there was no sign of his host leadi
the convereationa "1 was thinking
your castle on the shores of Loch Dorlic
How long it must be since you have sle •t
under its roof !"
" I do not like the place ; it is hateful o
m," answered Lord Kilravock, with a som
what harsh note in his voice. "It is ase
dated with 'a disagreeable part of my lif
Itdepends entirely on eircumatanc, s
whether 1 ever visit it again."
Neil remained eilent, regretting that
had ina vertently touched on an unwelco
theme. Meanwhile, Lord Kilravock co
tinued t regard him steadily, with a ce
tain pe sonal keenness which was slight
disconcerting.
" I did not ask you to come here th a
morning to speak of Kilravock, but of yon
self and your prospects. You have achieved
a great popularity -----I had almost said fain
but -it is a word so much misused and
o
little understood that I refrain. Are yo
aatisfied on the whole with what you ha e
a,3hieved ?"
Macleod looked still further disconcerte

Ths was was a home question difficult to

eneugh to parry.

It is early days, sir"for me to pass any
op ion on the oubject,"he replied, at length,
aff °tinter' lightness of tone. "The read-
ing public has been pleased to think well of
the only -book I have ever written. - I shall
be
lbetter able, perhaps, to measure the
:height of my own achievement when I have
wr tten another." •
'I' Ah, very oleverely put," said Lord
Ki ravook, with a dry laugh. "Meantime
yo i are not doing much to enhance the
re utation You have won; is that not so ?"
laeleod colored, and looked slightly in -
di nant. No doubt Lord Kfiravock was a
gr at and important personage in hie own
estimation, but he had no poeeible right to
pa s any strictures on him. '
'1 see you resent my remark, ynt before
•w part, you may possibly ooneede to me
sot a small right to criticise your conduct.
T ere have been times, during the paet six
m nths, when I have doubted the wisdom
of the well-wisher who provided you with
an income eufficient to your simpler need.
T ere can be no doubt it robbed you of that
necessity which is one of the sharpest spurs
to work." .
eil started as if he had been stung. -To
a man with whom until to -day he had
no pereonalacquaintance so well versed in
hi , private affairs angered him, and he cast
id) ut wildleain his mind tor some one on
w om to lay the blame. it fell, of course,
onlj Katie; no doubt she had told Mies Law -
re ce yesterday, and he was now to be sub.
je ted to - some more counsel and advice
fr m a quarter in which he could not and
w uld not tolerate it.
"Sir," he said, "and his face visibly
whitened, "1 do not know how you have
mine by your intorniation ; but I deny your
right to --question or cross-question me.
These are matters entirely personal and
private. I must decline to discuss them
with you."
"1 have no informant," said Lord Kin
raeock, and it seemed to Neil that some
subtle influence was at work within him,
and that in a moment of time his thin, clear -
out, aristocratic face became the wan and
grey visage of an old man. "1 am the
person who is responsible for the modest in-
come you have enjoyed since last Novem-
ber."
"You !" Neil's voice choked upon the
word, and his eyesbecame wide with sur-
prise, while a vague apprehension filled
them. "What could induce you to take
such a generous interest in a man you had
never seen ?"
Lord Kilravock squared his shouldere, and
folding his arms, faced him.
"You do not, guess the truth, I suppose,
but wait for me to tell it ?"
"What truth ?"
Mcleod felt hie mouth becoming dry and.
parched, and a sickening band eeemed to be
closing round his heart.
"It is easily said—rey son."
Iaware, I have a ward to whom / am deeply
attached, mod who hes nothing 'of her own.
I have sometimet dreamed of a 'little arm -
gement which would made, justice and
defraud no one. I daresay you on guess
what I mean." I i
Macleod took a backward Step !towards
the door. Lord Kilravook's !face grew a
shade whiter, and his long upper lip seemed
to snap down on the lower, aS 14 realized
that this munificent off r wasabont to be
thrown in his teeth.
"Sir," cried Macleod and he never look-
ed maniler or nobler tha at thati moment of
righteous anger—"no do bt you are isatisfied
with yourself. You see to be the arbiter
of my destiny, to mou d it as you will.
Hear me, then. I would rather be a beggar
on the highway than th recipient of your
bounty. I would to orl I had known
whose money I had spen , but I will pay it
back to the uttermost t rtbing. You have
epoken of my mother. will only tell you
that her last word to me wee one of, thanks-
giving that I owed not ing to my father.
For bnce in your life, y lord, you have
made a mistake."
That was his last word, tittered with most
stingiug contempt. With it, be flung him-
self out of the room an the house. Lord
Kilravock took a quiol4 breath, almoat a
gasp, and his hand w s unsteady as it
sought the key of a lit le corner ,oupbord
where some stimulants'free kept. : A glass
of brandy took its fnll effect before his
nerves were steadied, Tlen he arniled, a
dry and bitter smile. l.%aiy experiences he
had paesed through, but 1noio like_ this.
Yet beneath his hot anget a strna.ge feel-
ing lurked, a secret pri e in the spirit of
the boy who would have n ne of him. That
was one of his best mo e te'when he felt
a genuine regret becaus e had not made
to poor Moira Macleod t e only reparation
she would have accepted a his hands.
"Poor Moira," he m ttered. " But
surely to -day you are av n ed."
When the butler came to tell him lunch
waited, he walked int the dining -room,
firm and erect, as usual, hi:nigh there was a
grey pallor on his face. 1 ,
" Why, uncle," oriel Enid, "where is
Mr. Macleod ? I thoug t you had invited
him to lunch."
"1 intended to do so, e y dear, but led did
not give me a chance. tinimons, 4 brandy
and soda." ,
Enid saw that someth ng was a iss,!and
took her seat, saying no hi g. ,
"i feel disappointed,b she roma ked by-
and-by. "Was the business you had to
discuss with him not satisfaotor ly con-
cluded ?" -
" If was concluded," replied Kilravock.
"But we had not a pleasant interview. I
Phan be obliged to you, Enid, if you will not
ask me any questions about it. It is a mat-
ter regarding which I cannot take yon into'
my confidence."
"All right, uncle ; I am not a; curious
person, and I sball not ask a single clues -
don," answered Enid ; but there !was not
the Smallest doubt in her mind that Lady
Edward had been the subject, under discus-
sion. "1 have been to Berkeley street this
moriing to ask for the Duke, He had an-
othe stroke in the night. I Haw him ; and

I thriught he looked a dying man." "
"Indeed" answered Kilravock; and

CHAPTER XIX.
DARKNESS :LS" ND CHAOS.
It was an awful moment. When he
sought afterwards to recall it, Macleod was
unable to remember anything but its chaos
and horror. His first feeling was certainly
one of profounctsurprise, a surprise stupend-
ous enough to seal the portals of speech.
Kilravock was the first to break the strain
of that awful silence; then his tone was low
and smooth, and somewhat conciliatory.
" I need not here enter upon any explan-
ation concerning the past, which, believe
me, I regret. The main facts are known to
you. It is possibleahoweve, that you may
not know that your poor mother refused to

Next moment the sleeping lion awoke in
Macleod. He remembered nothing, thought
of nothing, but the sad years of his moth-
er's wasted life, Of his own shamed and
fatherless boyhood; and his face betrayed
his loathing and contempt.
"Sir," he cried, and his voice was shrill
and commanding, in ita passion, "she did
well, since you never offered her the only
atonement she could accept at your haiida
--to give her an honest position and in.e an
honest name. -But, now I know you, I am
glad you never offered her that atonement,
which she might have accepted ; then should
-I have been in a sorrier plight than I am
to -day."
Lord Kilravock winced, and hie quick
anger also rose.
"Oh, come, now, that is enough. I sent
for you to -day, not to listen to heroics, but
to talk over a matter of moment to us both.
I am a man of the world; you have been
doing your best during the last six months
to graduate in the same school. You do
not need me to tell you that the lives of
very few are free from some such episodes,
Believe me when I say that there are even
fewer who give the matter—or the conse-
quences shall reety ?—a second thought, as I
have done."
Neil was silent, not less enraged, not less
ashamed and dismayed. He wanted to
end tbe interyiew, to rush from the place;
but some strange fascination seemed to
hold and chain him to the spot. Lord Kil-
ravock mistook his waiting silence for the
gradual daWning of a reasonable mood.
-"I have had my eye on you all along. I
have watched your career with interest. I
have been obliged to disapprove of your
conduct during the laet six months; and
the fact that you wanted the brake applied
pretty sharply' has forced my. hand much,
earlier than I anticipated. It is My inten-
tion to acknowledge our relationship to the
world."
He ubtered these words very deliberately,
as if he felt their extreme importance, but
they elicited no word as yet from the young
man to whom they were addressed.
"In doing this, I lay myself open, of
course, to a good deal of ridicule, and possi-
bly to some misunderstanding; but I am
prepared to meet it. It is, as you will
doubtless be aware, imposeible for me to be-
stoev on you, as I very willingly would, the
full advantages which would aocrue to my
heir, You oan neither inherit the title nor
the entailed estate. But 1 have other pro-
perties and other means, which I am ab
liberty to will as 1 please. As you are
observed that he seemed to feel neither
surprise or regret; also that he made no at-
tomit to eat. "Hae Edward comet"

" Ah, matters are rather strained at

" don't think so. You know he will
not uffer her in the house."
"Did you say you saw him ?"
" Yes, uncle.
" What did he say to you ?"
Kilravock looked up after a moment, sur-
prised that she did not at once reply. He
was etill more surprised to see her nyes wet
with tears.
" He bade me good-bye uncle. All the
morning I have been rebelling betause he
must die. He is so good, we cannot spare
him.,I And there are so many of the others.

" 0f those who are not good, you mean."
, E id nodded. A peculiar look crossed
her uardian's face.
"Evesham belongs to the old regime, '
Enid. He has no part nor lot in the pres-
ent generation."
"He Is a great and good man, Uncle
Archibald . I shall never forget him nor
what he said to me to-day,as long as flive."
"1 suppose I may not ask what he said ?"
"1 cannot tell you all, uncle, and I hard-
ly think it would interest you."
"Perhaps not. I may go over !later in
the day. Have you an engagement this
afternoon?" ,
" T had one, but it is broken. I promised

" What ?" I ,
"Take me to Kilravock. 1 I do so want
to flee it."

Lord 'Kilravock shook his bead, and push-
ed back his chair from the table.
" I had thought of it thissummer,
but it is farther off than eve! now. It is
more than likely I may tak a long trip,
perhaps a voyage round the 'world. "
"So it will be Brassay " Said Enid
dryly. "Wouldn't you allow me to go to
Kilravock myself, uncle?" I could take
Dolly and Duke, and we ehould have the
jolliest possible time. Do let me."
"That might be arranged. I'll think
about it, "said Lord Kilravock, and his
tone was hopeful. Enid's desire to see Kil-
ravock had become almost a passion. Why
it interested her so much was a question
she did not greatly care to ask herself.
Meanwhile Macleod, feeling the need for
some quiet to still the whirling papsion of
his soul, had found his way, how he scarce-
ly knew,' to the Green Park, and throwing
himself on- the grass under a remote tree,
faced the new complication whieh had
arisen in his life. But he could not get
beyond his anger and hatred &piled the
man to whom he owed the accident of his
birth ; ahd though he rematned there over
an hour, no order came ouf/of -the chaos of
his thoughts. It was no surprise, to him-
self that he felt drawn to the hOuse at
Bruton street, remembering the melons
and healing sympathy with which ts mis-
tress bad received the announcement which
he had thought would promptly snap the
cord of their brief acquaintance.
Macleod, so frequent a guest at Lady
Edward Grantham's house was on familiar
terms with the servants. He was therefore
admitted without a word. But after a
brief interval the man came down from hist
mistress's sanctum, looking surprieed and
distinctly crestfallen.
"Her ladyship, air, is not at home."
"She told you to say this ?" asked Mac-
leod. "She is. of course, upstairs. ,'
," Yes, sir. "
"Go to her again," said Macleod curtly,
" and say I wish to see her on a meet par-
ticular matter. "
"Sir, I don't think I dare. Her lady-
ship would be very angry. She spoke quite
sharp and decided."
"Try,"- said Macleod, as he slipped a
sovereign into the man's hand. "Say it is
most important."
He paced the darkened hall with dmPatt-
ent foot,lwaiting the summons he fully ex-
pected. But the man soon appeared again
on the stairs shaking hie head.
"1 knew how 'would be, sir, You
don't know my lady. If she Lwoit, she
won't for anybody."

Fitz looked distinctly uncomfortable,
"She said she couldn'e see you, said to
tell you she couldn't, neither to -day nor any
other day, but that she'd write."
Macleod bit his hp; it was only one hu- '
miliation the more. As Fitz opened the

the portico and stopped.
Memory upon ue, if it ain't his lurclehip,"

In one of his essays on self-culturee Pro-
fessor John Stuart Blackie gives the follow-
ing admirable advice concetning book 4 and
reading:
"As there are persons who seem to 'walk
through life with their eyes open, seeing
nothing, so there are others who read
through books and perhaps even cram
themselves witti facts, without carrying
away any living pictures of significant story
which might arouse the fancy in an hone of
leisure, or gird them with endurance in a
moment of difficulty. Ask yourself, there-
fore, always, when you have read a chap-
ter of any notable book, not what yog saw
printed ou a gray page, but what yeti see
pictured in the ,glowing gallery of youi• im
magination. Have your fancy always :vivid
and full of body and color. Count yoUrself
not to know a fact when you know that it
took place, but then only when you tee ib
as it did take place."

The Immense Possibilities of Our
Butter Trade.
The immense possibilities of our export
butter trade may be inferred from the fact
that Great Britain imports about $85,000.000
to $90,000,000 worth of butter yearlyo of
which amount Canada will only contrib-ute
about $7,000,000 worth during the present
Season, although this is about double the
amount she sent forward last season, • and
over six times more than was exported a
few years ago, showing that the trade is
rapidly increasing. The little kingdom of
Denmark, however, exports annually ri,b,nut
$35,000,000 to $40,000,000 worth to Gleat
Britain. These facts simply poiat to the
vast possibilities there are for Canada in
bidding for 'tide 'I:enormous trade, whieh is
growing every' year. For years pasts, bur
makers have been handicapped in prosecut-
ing this irnpoetant trade for want of proper
facilitiee for shipping butter fresh in the
summer months ; but these disabilitiee are
now removed, as the government have tak—
en steps to provide the necessary cold stor-
age accommodation at the factories, and
from thence to the ocean carriers, on board
of which are plaeed refrigeratore of the
most approved and latest style, sufficient,.
it is hoped, to make a success of our export -
butter trade, which, in recent year!, has
been very insignificant in comparison with
what it might have been developed into -
Great Britain imports over three timee-
more butter than cheese, and there is no
reason why Canada should not lead in the
exportation of butter as she does in that of
cheese, instead of supplying the *other
Country with only about $7,000,000 worth
of butter, we have the capacity, in our
splendid pasture Lands, for sending her from
$25,000,000 to $35,000,000 worth of butter
every year. If we can export $18,000,000
worth of dairy produce in the form of
cheese, there should be nothing to prevent
us lending forward a still greater value in
the shape of butter. English buyers have -
become well acquainted with Canadian
creamery during the past year, which has
been laid down on the other side in a fairly
fresh and sweet condition. The Govern-
ment have shown great; wisdom in giving
such prominent attention to an industry
which is susceptible to almost unlimited
development, and should eventually be the
means of bringing into the country yearly
at the very least $25,000,000 of British hard
cash.
The fact, however, must not be overlook-
ed, that a great deal will depend upon the
farmer for the successful carrying out of
the Government scheme; for if he refuses
to market hie creamery as soon as it ie
made, in order to get it on the English
market in as fresh and prime condition as-
poesible, the Government's scheme will
turn out a signal failure. It has been
proved by actual experience that those
creameries which sent their creamery but.
ter to this market last year for /tale every
week or fortnight, with instructions to sett
-
at market values, realized much better
profits than those who held and speculated
on their perishable goods for a rise. If our'
farmers and factorymen would make up
their minds to hip their goods at stated
intervals, and sell at current rates, although
they might receive lower priees at one time
than at another, on the year's business they
would find themselves further ahead thare
if they had speculated with their suminer
make by storing it an in times gone by.
The Government is doing their part ad-
mirably, but if the farmers neglect to carry
out the essential means required to make
the export trade a success, they will have
only themselves to blame. Last year's
operations on the part of farmers, it must
beeadmitted, was an improvement upon
former years.—Montreal Trade Bulletin.
