Was this the awkward boy that -had. blushed and stammered before her a week ago? "It's very dangdwous," he. explained to Mrs. Murray, the wind blows out the flames." - - As he spoke he handed Maimie' his toasting stick and retired to the other sideact the fire, and began to attend to the boiling , sap.

You can- not be -to careful in moving about the fire." -"Well, he needn't be so cross about it," said Maimie., She had never been ordered about before in her life and she did not enjoy the experience and all the more at the hands of an uncouth country boy. She 'watched Ranald attending to the fire and the kettles, however, With a new respect. He certainly had no fear of the fire, but moved about and handled it with the utmost • sang-froid. He had a certain grace, too, in his movements that caught her eye, and she wished he would eome nearer so that she raieht speak to him. She had con- siderable confidence. in .her powers of attraction. As if to answer her wish, %Mild camestraight to wlsere her aunt and she Were standing.

"I will tell Don," he added, striding off towards the group of boys and girls, still busy with their games under the trees. , Soon Don's shout was heard: "Tea ladies and .gentlemen; take your seats at the tables." And speedily there was a rush and scramble, lead in a few moments the great heaps of green balsam boughs arranged a- round the fire were full of boys and girls pulling pinching and tumbling over one smother in wild glee.

' The last- apt a all was the making of "hens' nests." A dozen or so hens' eggs, blown empty, and three goose eggs for the grow -ups, were set in snow nests, and carefully filled from the little kettle. - in a'.few minutes the nests were filled with sugar eggs, and the Sugaring -off was over proThviedrede asgbillahistresnanainy edmislimp. goose -egg "who wants' the goose egg?" cried Don, holding it up. • "Me! "me!" me!" coaxed the girls on every side. "Will you give it to me, DOD, for the minister?" said Mrs. MurraY• "Oh, yes!" cried Maimie, "and let me fill it." As she spoke, she seized the dinner, and ran for the kettle. "Look out for that fire," cried Don dropping the egg into its snowbed. He Was to late. A little tongue of flame leaped out from under the ket- tle, nipped hold of her frock, and in a moment she was in a blaze. With a wild screarn she sprang batk and turned to fly, but before she. had gone more than a single step, Ronald, dash- ing the crowd right and left, had seiz- ed and flung" her, headlOng into the snow, beating out/the flames with his bare hands. - In a moment all danger eves over, and Ranald lifted her up. Still screaming, - she clung to him, while the women all ran to her. Her aunt reached her first. , "Hush, Maimie; hush; dear. You are quite safe now. Let me see your face. There now, be quiet child. The danger is all over." • Still Maimie kept screaming. She was thoroughly terrified. "Listen to me," her aunt said, in an even; firm voice. "Do not be foolish. Let me look at you." The quiet,- firm voice doothed her, and Maimie's screams ceased. Her aunt examined her face, neck, and arms for any signs of fire, but could find none. She was hardly touched, so swift had been her rescue. Then Murray, suddenly putting her arms around her niece, and holding her tight, cried:'"Thank God, my dar- ling, for his great kindness to you and to us all., Thank God! thank God!' Her wee -broke, but in a moment bulging with cakes; the tea was bubbling in the big tea -pail and ev- erything was ready for -the feast. But Ranald had caught Mrs. Murrey's eye, and at a sign from her, stood waiting with the teapalI in his hand. - "Come eon -with the tea, Ranald," cried Don, seizing a plate 01 toast - "Wait, 0. minute Don; Taid-Rtinald,' in a low 'tone. . "What's the matter?" . But Ranald stood still; looking sil- ently at the ininister's wife.- Then as all eyes turned toward her, she said, in a gentle, sweet voice, "I think we ought to give thanks to our Father in heaven for all this beauty about us and for all our joy." At once Ranald took off his hat, and as the boys followed his example, Mrs. Murray bowed her head and in a few, simple words, lifted up the hearts of all with her own thanksgiv- ing for the beauty of the woods and the sky above them, and all the many gifts that came to fill their lives with ieY• It was not the first time that Ran- ald had hedrd her -voice in prayer, but somehow it sounded different -hi the open air under the trees and iia the midst of the jollity of the sugaring - off.' With all other people that Ran- ald knew religion seemed to be some- thing apart from common. days, com- mon people apt] collation things, and; seemed, besides,' a Solemn and terrible eeprience; but with the minister's, wife, religion was a part of her every -1 dav thders, and seemed to be as easily associated with her pleasure as with anything else about her. It was so • easy, to simple, so natural, that Ran- ald emild not help wondering if, after all, it was the right kind. It was so unlike the religion the elders /and all the good people in the congregation. It was a great puzzle to Ranald, as to many others, both before and since his ihne. After tea was over the great busi- ness of the evening came on. Ranald announced that the taffy was ready, and Don, as master of ceremonies im- mediately cried out: "The gentlemen will provide the ladies with plates." "Plates!" echoed the boys, with a laugh of derision. ."Plates.," repeated Don, stepping back to a great snowbank, near a bal- sa.m'elump, and returning with a piece; of dcrust." At once there was a sc-ur- ecov6ing herself, she went on, "And aitald, tool -noble fellow!"

From my heart, I thank you. For a moment or two she looked steadily into his face with tears streamin down her cheeks. Then put- ting her ijands upon his shoulders, she said softl : "For her dear, dead mo- ther's sake, I thank you." - Then Mainde, who had been stand- ing in a kind of stupor all this while, seemed seddenly to awake, and run- ning swiftly todraed Ranald, she • put out both hands, crying: "Oh, Repaid, I ran never thank you eneugh., He took her hands in an agony of ernbarassment, not knowing. what to do or say. Then Maimie suddenly dropped his hands, and throwing her arrns aliout his neck, kissed him and ran back to her aunt's side. ° "I thought you didn't play forfeits,' Maimie," said Don, in a grieved voice. And everyone was glad to laugh. • Then the minister's wife, lo,oking round upon thefts all, said: "Dear children, God has ben very good to us, and I think we ought to give him thanks." And standihg there by the fire, they bowed their heads in a new thanksgiv- ing to Him whose keeping never fails by day or night. And then, with hearts and Voices subdued, and with quiet good nights, they went their ways bone. But as the Cameron sleigh drove off with its load, Maimie looked back, and seeing Ranald standing by the fire, she whispered to her aunt: "Oh, auntie! Isn't he just splendid?" But her aunt made no reply, see- ing a new danger for them both, greater than they had escaped. CHAPTER IX. A Sabbath Day's Work The Sabbath that followed the sug- aring -off was to Maimie the most reinarkable Sabbath of her life up to that day.

The Sabbath in the minister's. house as in the homes of his people, was ,e day so set apart from other days that it had to be approached. The Sat- urday afternoon and evening caught something of its atmosphere. No frivolity, indeed no light amusement, was proper on the evening that put a period to the worldly occupations and engagements of the week. That ev- ening was one of preparation. The house, and espcially the kitchen, was thoroughly "redd•up." Wood, water, and kindling Was brought in, clothes were brusheksbents greased or pol- ished, dinner prepared, and in every way possible •the- wliole house its dwellers, and its ;belongings, Made ;reedy for the mottilrw. -So, when the -ffilihath-eriorninertied; people—at • woke with o,feelink 'that old things had passed awe:sr-and that the whole World, Was,,newl The lain shone with a radiance, not knehvita on Other days.

Through all the farms he fields 1f lay bathed in his genial glow, at rest, and the very trees stood in silent wor- ship of the bending heavens :\ Up from the stable and from kitchen came no sound § of work. The horses knew that no wheel would turn that day* in labor, and the dogs lay sleep- ing in sunny nooks, knowing as well hass any that there:would be no hunt- ing or roaming for them that day,. unless they chose to go on a free hunt; which none- but light-headed puppies or dissipated and reprobate dogs would care to do. Over 'all things 'rest brooded, and out of the rest grew holy thoughts and hopes. It' was a day of begin- nings. For the past, broken and stained, there was a new offer of Ob- livion and healing, and the heart was summoned to look forward to new life and to hope for better things, and to drink in all these soothing, healing in- fluences that memory and faith com- bine to give; so that when the day was done, wealry and discouraged men and Women began to feel that, per- haps after all they might be able to endure and even to hope for victory. The minister rose earlier on Pah- bath than on other days, the redpon- sibility of his office pressing hard up- on him. Breakfast Was more silent than usual, ordinary subjects of con- versation were discouraged. The minister was preoccupied and impat- ient ofan interim. tion of his thoughts. But his we came to the table with a sweeter serenity than usual, and a calm .upon her face that told of hidden strength. Even Maimie could notice the difference, but she could only , wonder. The secret of it was hidden from her. Her aunt was like no other woman that she knew, and there were amny things about her too deep for Maimie's understanding. After worship, which Watl brief and. solemn and intense, Lambert hurried to bring round to the front the big black horse, hitched up en the carryall and they all made speed to pack themselves in, Maimie and her aunt in front, and Hughie on the floor be- hind with his legs under the seat; for -When once the minister was himself quite ready, and had got his great meerschaum pipe going, it was unsafe for anyone to delay him a single in- stant. The drive to the church was an ex- perience hardly in keeping with the spirit of the day. It was more ex- citing than restful. Black was a horse with a single aim, which was to , deyour the space that stretched out I before him with a fine disregard of consequence. The first part of the road up to the -church hill and down again to the swamp was to Black, as to the others, an unmixed joy, for he was fresh from his oats and eager to • Children Ory FOR FLOOSER'S „CAS-T.01U A tion of terror at critical moments. The corduroy was Black's abomina- tion. He gonged to dash through and he don id with it; but, however, much the minister ,synipathized with I Black's desire, prudence forbade that his metlishould be adopted. So from lc to' log and from hole to hole, Black -olunged and stepped with all the care he ;could be persuaded to exerciseegyery lurch of the casiyali bringing a scream from Mairaie in front and a, delighted chuckle from Hughie behind. His delight in the adventure was materially increased by his cousin's terror. But once the swamp was crossed, and Black foimd himself on the firm, road that wound over the sandhilis and through the open pine,. woods, he tossed his great mane back from his 'eyes, and getting his head set off at a pace that forlioded disaster to anything trying to keep before him, bout whose door a group of men were standing.

She church gates, Ids flanks steaming and and in a short time drew up at the "My!" said Maiheie, when she had enthusiastic member of the' congregation could scarcely call the old church beautiful and to Mahnie's eyes it was positively hideous. No steeple' or tower gave any hint of its sacred. character. Its weather-beaten clapboard exterior, spotted with black knots, as if stricken with some dis- dguring disease, had nothing but ite row of uncertained windows to .dis- tinguished it from an. ordinary barn. They entered by the door at the end of the church and Proceeded down. the long aisle that ran the full length of the building, till they came to a cross aisle that led them to the minis- ter's pew at the left side of the Vol - pit, and commanding a view of -thd whole congregation. The main body of the ch-ureh was seated with long box pews with hinged doors. But the gallery that ran around three sides was fitted with ,simple benches. Im- mediately in front of the pulpit was a square pew which was set apart for the use of. thee elders, and close up to the pulpit, and incleeseas part of this structure, was a precentor's desk. The pulpit was, to Maimie' s eyes, a wonder. It was an octagonal box placed high on one side of the church on a levet with the gallery, and reached by a spiral staircase. Above it hung the highly ornate and alto- gether extraordinary sounding -board and canopi. There was no sign of paint Anywhere, but the yellow pine, of which seats, gallery, and pulpit *ere al. made, had deepened,Svith.age into a rich brown, not unpleasantgo the eye. The church was full, for the Indian Lands people believed in going to dhurcheand there was not a house for many miles around but was represent- ed in the church that day. There they sat, row upon row a men, brown and brawny with wind and sun, a notable company, worthy of their being taught the young people, by ancestry and worthy of their heritage.

Straight Rory had been educated for a teacher in Scot- land, and was something of a scholar. He loved school examMations, where he was the terror of pupils and teach- ers alike. His acute mind reveled in the metaphysics of theology, which raade him the dread of all candidates who appeared before the session, des- iring 'to come forward." It was to many an impressive sight to see Straight Rory rise in the precentor's box, feel round, witle much facial con- tortion, for the pitch—he despised a tuning fork—and then straightenin.g himself up till he bent over back- wards, raise the chant that introduced the tune to the congregation. But to the young men under the gallery he was more humorous than impressive, and it to be feared that they waited for the precentor's weekly perform- ance with a delighted expectation that never flagged and that was never disappointed. It was only . the flash of the minister's blue eye that held their faces rigid in preternatural sol- emnity, and forced them to Content themselves with winks and nudges for the expression of their delight.

The girls and younger children sat with their par- ents, modest, shy, and, reverent, but the young men, for the most part, fill- ed the back seats under the gallery. And a hardy lot they were, as brown and brawny as their fathers, but tingling with life to their finger-tips, ready for anything, and impossible to control except by one whem they fear- ed as well idd reverenced. And such a ,man was Alexander Murray, for they knew well that, lithe and brawny as they were ,there was not a man of them but he could fling out of the door and over the fence if he so wished and they knew too, that he would be prompt to do it if ocacsion arose. Hence they waited for the word of of God with all due reverence and fear. ' In, the square Dew ill front of the pulpit sat the elders, hoary, massive, and venerable. The Indian Lands Session were worth seeing. Great men they were, everyone of them, ex- cepting , per hope, Kenneth Camp- bell. "Kenny Crugach," as he was caned from his halting step. Kenny was neither slivery, nor massive, nor venerable. He was a short grizzled man, with snapping black eyes and a tongue for clever, biting speech; and while he bore a stainless eharacter, no one thought of him as an eminently godly man. In public prayer, he nev- er attained any great length, nor did he employ that tone of unction deem- ed suitable in this sacred exercise. He seldom "spoke to the question," but when he did,people leaned forward to listen, and more .especially the rows of the careless and ungodly un- der the gallery. Kenny had not the look of an elder; indeed, many won- dered how he had ever come to be chosen for the office. But the others all had the look of elders, and car- ried with them the full respect and affection of the congregation. Even the youat. men under the gallery ret garded them with reverence for their godly eharaeter, but for other things as well; for these old men had beelT famous in their day, and tales were still told about the firesides of the people of their prowness in the woods and on the river. There was, for instance, Finlay Mc- Ewen, or McKeowen, as they all pro- nounced it in that country, who, for a wager, had carried a four hundred pdiffed barrel upon each hip across the long bridge over the Sea& river. And next him eat Donald Rods, whose very face, with its halo -of white hair, bore benediction with it whereier rho went, 'What es Than he insist have hem in, -his day/ Six feet four inches he stood in his stockAng soles, and with ."aback like a bort door," as As Maimie's eyes went wandering shyly over the rows of brown faces that turned in solemn mid steadfast regard to the minister's pew, Hughie nudged her and whispered:- "There's Don. See, in the back seat by the -window, next to Peter Raugh yonder; the red-headed fellow." He pointed to Peter McRae, grand- son of "Peter the Elder." There was no mistaking that landraark.
