Mistress Murra', I cannot tell you the often these words do keep coming to me; and it is myself that has not kept the promise I made to her, and may the Lord forgive me." 1 CHATPER VI The look of misery in the dark eyes touched Mrs. Murray to the heart.. She laid her hand on Macdon- ald's amn, but she could not find words to speak. Suddenly Macdonald recalled himself. "You will forgive me," he said; "and you will not be telling anyone." By this time the tears were stream- ing down her face, and Mrs. Mur- ray could only say, brokenly, "You know I will not." "Aye, I do," said Macdonald, with a sigh of content, and he ttirned his face away from her to the wall. "And now you let me read to yeu," she said, seftly, and taking from her bag the Gmlic Bible, which with Tench toil she had learned to read since coming to this Highland congrega- tion,' she read to him from the old psalm, those words, brave; tender and beautiful, that have so often com- forted the weary and wandering children of men, "The Word is my Shepherd," and so on to the end. Then from psalm to psalrn she pass- ed, selecting such parts as suited her purpose, until Macdonald turned to her again, and said, admiringly: "It is yourself thatthas the bonnie Gaelic." "I am afraid," She said, with a smile, "is it not really good, but it is the best a south country woman can do." "Indeed -it is pretty" she said, ear- nestly. Then the minister's wife said, tim- idly, "I can not pray in the Gaelic." "Oh, the English will be very good," said Macdonald, and she knelt down and in simple words poured out her heart in prayer. Before she rose from her knees she opened the Gaelic Bible, and turned to the words of the Lord's Prayer. "We will say this prayer togeth- er," she said, gently. Macdonald bowing -his head grave- ly answered: "It is what she would often be doing with me." There was still only one woman to this lonely hearted man, and with I a sudden rush of pity that showed I itself in her breaking voice, the min- ister's wife began in Gaelic,' "Our Father which are in. Heaven." Macdonald followed her in a whis- per through the petitions ulmil they came to the words, "And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtois," when he paused and would say no more. Mrs. Murray repeated the words of the petition, but still there was no response. Then the minis- ter's wife knew that she had her fm - ger upon a sore spot, •and he fin- • ished the prayer alone, but tinged now withthe faintest town, amen= nrom ,thernhine-felt somehow tha it might be possible to forgive. Put many days had to scones and go, and many waters flow over the souls of Macdonld Dubh and his son Ranald, before they were able to say, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." • For a time she sat silent, un- willing to probe the ,wound, and yet too brave to flinch from what she felt to be duty. "We have much to be forgiven," aloe said gently. "More than we can ever forgive." Still than was 1. enact. °Mid ttaa hied *id eanDoe breve A New Friend The night race with the wolves be- gan a new phase of life for Ranald, for in that hour he gained a frined such as it falls to few lads to have. Mrs.Murray's high courage in the bush, her snill in the sickroem, and that fine spiritual air she carried with her made for her a place in his imagination where men set their di- vinities. The hero and the saint in her stirred his poetic and fervent soul and set it aglow with a feeling near to adoration. ,To Mrs. Murray also -the events of that night set forth Ranald in a new light. In the shy, awkward, almost sullen lad there had suddenly been revealed in those moments of peril the cool, daring man, full of resource and capable of self-sacrifice. Her heart Went out toward him, and she set herself to win his confidence and to establish a firm friendship with him; but this was no easy matter. Macdonald Dubh and his son, living a half -savage life in their lonely back clearing, -_ were regarded by their neighbors with a certain degree of distrust and fear. They were not like other people. They seldom mingled in the social festivities of the cornmwaity, and consequently were more or less excluded from friendship and free intercourse -with their neighbors. Ranald, shy, proud • and sensitive, felt this exclusion, and in return kept himself aloof even from tlie boys and especially from the girls, of his own age. His at- tendance at school was of a frag- mentary and spasmodic nature, and he never really came to te on friend- ly terms with his fellow -pupils.

It was in vain that Mrs. Murray, iv her daily visits to Macdonald Dugh sought to find out Ronald and to come to speech with him. Aunt kirsty never knew where he was, and to her 'calls, leng and loud, fropn the bap* door and from teh front, no response ever came. It was Hughie Murray who llpally brought Ranald once more in touch with the minister's wife, They had come one early morning, the boys -called "Wobbles," from his gait in running, whose father's farm Hughie with "Fide hitched in a sled driving over the *e.ttst on the snow banks by the roeirside, -and -his mon ther on the pony, to make their call upon the sick man. As they drew near the house they heard a sound of hammering. "That's Ranald, nedther!" exelaim- el "let me go and find him. I don't want to go in." "Be sure You don't go far away, then Hughie; you know we must hur- ry home to -day;" and Hughie faith- fully promised.But alas for Hughie's promises! when his mother came out of the house with Kirsty, he was within neither sight nor hearing. "They will just be at the camp." said Kirsty. "The camp?" "Aye, the sugaring camp down yon- der in the sugar bush. It is not far off from the wood road. I will be going with you." "Not at all, Kirsty," said the min- ister's wife. "I think 1 know where it is, and 1 can go home that way quite well. Besides, I want to gee Ranald." She did not say she would rather see him alone. "Indeed, he is the queer lad, and he is worse since _coming back from the shanties. Kirsty was evidently much -worried about Ranald. "Never raind," said the minister's wife, drindly; "we must just be pa- tient. Ronald is going on fast to- ward manhood, and he can be held only by the heart." "Aye," said Kirsty, with a, sigh, "I doubt his father will never be able any more to take a strap to him." "Yes," said Mrs. Murray, s:miling, 'I'm afraid he is far beyond that." 'Beyond it!" exclaimed Kirsty, as- tonished at such a doctrine. "Indeed, and his father and his uncle would be getting it then, -when they were as beeg as they will ever be, and much the better were they for it." "I don't think it would do for %m- aid," said the ministr's wife, -smiling again as she said goodbye to, Kirsty. Then she took her way down the wood road into the bush. She found the camp road easily, and after a quarter of an hour's ride, she heard the sound of an ax, and soon came upon the sugar camp'. Repaid was putting the finishing touches to a little shanty of cedar poles and inter- woven balsam brush, and Hughie was looking on in admiration and blissful delight.' • "Why, that's beautiful," said Mrs. Murray; "I should like to live in a house like that myself" " Oh, mother!" shouted Hughie, is- n't it splendid? Ranald and Don are going to live in it all the sugar time, and Ranald wants me to come too. Mayn't 1, inothter? AW, do let me." The inother looked doeet upon the - eager face smiled and Shook her head. "What about the night: Hughie?" she said. "It will be very dark in the woods here and very cold too' Ranald and Don are big boys and strong, but I am afraid my lit- tle boy would not be very comfortable sleeping outside."
