voice faltered into silence, then, after
a few moments, he cried, "And oh!
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.

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. His
one friend- ws Don Cameron, whom

To Doh, Ranald opened his heart
more than anyone else; all others he
kept at a distance.
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-
