folk, with whom David'_ Dempster had
been a universal favorite, "that the-

and soon, very Soon, there would be a
new reign at Drumkeillour, which -Would

Maggie Dempster was so -happy that: -
night that she could scarcely, sleep. She ;
sat long by her 'window looking,atth01
-
.sleeping city ,shimmerbig in the white if
moonlight, her heart filled with a thous- I
and happy dreams' and ,bright anticipas !
, gents of the future. Oh, if tomorrow '.
were but here, so that. Frank :might .
share the happy tidings ! .z It did , not
-occur to —Maggie that •her lover might
regard this great ' change in a different .
light from that in which,' it appeared!
to her. In her sweet, ,Wholesome, un,- .1
selfish nature, there Was no room for !
the thought that a poor,nameless or-
phan, struggling unaided unaided through his
Medical studies, , with ' none to lend a
helping hand in life's stern battle, would
hardly be considered a- suitable match- .
for Miss Demp ter of _Drumkeillour,
i
-though Maggie D't&
empster, the Mu
teacher, had be envied the devoticip •
'of the clever student with the.handsome
face and winning ways. _There were no:
such thoughts in Maggie-. Dempster's
heart, nothing Marred as,yet the smiling
future. How sweet it would be to help

him at Drumkeillour,
, te wander: to-
gether on its flowery braes and by its
winding streams, which, though un-
seen, her father had taught her to love!
. Such were the 'sweet and 'tender visions
which 'flitted - before . Maggies mind,
making her sleep light andgolden, little
dreaming, poor girl, of the bitter pain
in stere. Next morning David Dionp-
titer walked for the last time -te the ,
dingy office in Frederick _Street,- only to .-
inforin his employera that he must quit .
their service at once. le Made no boast
of the reason, at ninelikt•t of ten in 'hit '
circumstances Would- haVe done, for he ,
had borne m

.
oply tolerated'. there out - of a kind of --
.
contemptuous pity—the strong and proi-
-perous have so little sympathy for their --
- less fortunate neighbers.'; who grow -
feeble while they are growing 61d. ;:• '
t "Leave to -day !" exclaimed Mr. Mac -
dowel!, a pompous individualin broad- :
cloth, and a great expense of White, shirt
a.doned with diamond studs. ' "Why,
Dempster, this it absurd ; a' month's
- warning on either side was our agree-
- meet, 1 think." • . ' .
- "1 cannot help it, sir," replied David -
• .
Dempster, quietly. 'I You: must allow
me
-the to go, if you please."'
" What is your reasonfor this step, - -
may I ask ?" inquired the master with
calm curiosity.
"The death of a near relative compels .,
meta leave " Edinburgh . at :once," said
David Dempter, quietly•still: - 1 :
"Ah, that is - unfortunate—in our .
. busiest. time, too. .We cannot promise..
‘ to keep the situation open for you Deity- =
. ster." ' . ; : . j , I
' "Thank you, I do not expect • you to '
_do so," was the courteous reply; for how-
ever vexed or hurt lie. Might be by the
the -
rudeness of '...others, David Dempster
never by any Chance: forgot for a Moment
that be was a gentleman. , . " - 1
7 "Well, if you must .go, you 'must, I .,
-suppose,"' said Mr... Maack:mall 'sourly, :
. for, he did not by any Means _relish los-
ing the old man's Services. . He ' was
slow and unmethodical perhaps, but he
was the . most trustworthy person, in.
their employment. - "The month it net '
half -run yet. You can. scarcely expect
a month's salary in full," .said Mr. Mac-)
dowel!, reaching for his chequebook. 1
As he did so his eye fell on the obituary :.
column of the Scotsman lying on the
desk.. The first announcement , there '
caught his eye: . ! . ' - ,... ' . .-

.08 years.", • •
three hours' work waiting him at ho e
for he had begun in earnest his winter,
studies—when summer came again, he
hoped to close with highest honorthis
college life.
There was a very sweet and \tender
smile on 'Maggie's; lips when she- ran
lightly up the stair and entered her quiet
home. There was no light there,•but
directly she opened the door she heard
her father rise.
"1. that you, Maggie, my dear little
girl ?" he said, his voice -shaking with
excitement. "Come here, my dearie,
and let me hold you in, my arms. Then
we will get a light and read together
that it is true."
"That what is true? What are you
talking about, daddy dear?" asked;
Maggie, with a certain tender alarm in
her voice. "Why are you - sitting all
alone in the dark? And, see, the fire has
quite gone out." ‘.
9" Never mind, my dearie, never
mind," said the old man, in the seine
nervous, excited way. "1 have had a
great shock of surprise to -night, Maggie.
Your Ada Robins is deadin
IMM..M1.414.14
CHAPTER V.-
• UNLOOKED-FOR NEWS.
"Aunt Robins dead ?"; repeated
Maggie, as she laid down her music.
"Then that is the meaning of thy dream.
Who sent the. message, daddy ?".
"Get the gas . lighted, Maggie 'and
-we will read the letter," said the old
man.; and. Maggie obeyed him quickly,
anxious to hear all about her aunt's ap-
parently sudden death, shin:nigh never
dreaming what -consequences it involved
for her. '•-
" Why, papa, the signature!! thatiof
Gavin Wardrop !" exclaimed Maggie,
when she returned to the table, and
looked over her fathers's shoulder at the
bine document he held in his trembling
hand. "Itis datedfrom Drumkeillour,
too. ISthat notstrange
"Ay, strange enough. I can guess
how it has been, Gavin Wardrop has
pushed himself into Drumkeillour again,
hoping to make capital out of my poor
sister's weakness. .He does not seem to
have succeeded. He says here there is
no will, and that I, as next of kin, must
be her soleaheir. Is not that strange,
:unlimited for news, Maggie ?"
• "Sole heir I" repeated Maggie slow-
ly. "Does that., mean that Aunt
Ro-
bina's money, and Drumkeillour too, are
yours."
"Ay, lassie, and More than that. :It
Means an end to all _drudgery for you
and me, and rest and . coinfort in bonnie
Drumkeillour. May God forgive me,
Maggie, if cny thoughts dwell more open
that than upon my poor sister's
death. But I have beenweary sb
long."
Quick tears started to Maggie's-bright
eyes at the pathetic humility _with whiCh
her father spoke. She neither blamed
nor wondered that he should feel to, for
had net Robina Dempster, with her own
hand, severed the tie of ' kinship, and
forfeited all -claim upon • her brother's
love?
"Oh, daddy, -I am so glad, so very,
very glad for your sake she exclaim-
ed, laying one fair arm in tenderest love -
about the drooping shoulders: "Please
God, you will .grew. strong and well
again, and live in peace and, comfort
in Drumkeillour for . many, •many
years. •
"And you, Maggie ?" said the old
man a little wistfully, will you not be
happy in the old home? I am .sure you
will love it." '
'" •
Yes,.for a little time, father,"said
•
Maggie; with a bright, sweet -blush.
"Then if Frank ever gets any holidays
when he is a great professor, she add-
ed, with a. happy laugh, "we will come.
sometimes and see you, snd plague your
life out, just as We have always done in
this little dingy house.",,,
• "Yes, of course,-theie's Frank," said,
the old man with a sigh; for somehow
thematch he had considered so desirable
for Maggie did not seem Oita so desk -
able now. Not that there was any pride
or WorIilly-mincledness in David Demp-•
ster's heart, only now when he could
give to his darling all she could wish for
he grudged thethought- of giving her •
into other keeping. But ..he knew her
heart was true, and he would notseek,
by word or deed, to make her regent
her troth.
They sat far into the night discussing .
this wonderful change coming to them,
and Maggie learned how, what_ she had
not known before, how deep and quench-
less w as her father's love for Drumkeill-
our. When it was beyond his reach,
when circtimstances had ruthlessly torn.
him from his boyhood's home apparently
for ever, he had buried deep4that strong
leve and deep yearning, wearing an as-
sumtionof indifference , which had de-
ceived the whole _world. But that in-
ward pain, the agony offseling himself
a nameless, homeless wanderer on the
face or the earth, had eaten into his
heart, making him old before his time.
Evil fortune seemed to • have dogged
David Dempster's footsteps all his days.
The sweet young wife for whom he had
incurredhis proud father's relentless
displeasure, for whom he had cheerfully
born exile and estrangement from his.
kindred, had died after a too brief'
married life, leaving . Maggie, a little
• toddling bairnie, to fill her place. For
• years David Dempster , had wandered
about the New Yorld seeking reit for an
aching heart, his little child the only
solace of his desolate life, nntil he heard
from home that his sister's infatuation.
was about to surrender Drumkeillour
into the hands • -of one whom hP knew
well as an unprincipled scoundrel, who
had been. obliged to seek refuge in Eng-
land from those seeking reparation for
-deadly wrong they had suffered at his
'hand. We know how his kindly inter-
vention was received.; how his sister,
soured and disappointed in her mad love
for Gavin Wardrop, - turned her brother
from the door. Robina Dempster had
been a spoiled, selfish creature' all her
days, posseesed even In youth of that,
greed of gold which kept her in thrall to
the end. •
She it was who lied tottered and fed
her father's ire againstDavid, and as -she.
was his sole nurse and adviser in -his
weak old age, she alone was responsible
for the 'cruel and unjust will which die -
inherited the only son, and made her
pie possessor of Drumkeillour. But she
had borne her punishment for her sin;
for her later years had been the prey of
remorse which poisoned her Waking
hours and was the haunting spectre of
her dreams. Yet she made no reparation
—nay, hardened her heart. yet more and
more against the brother whose only sin
-had been his . unflinching regard for
truth and honor, his fearless outspoken-
,
" Dempster, is this your relative?"
he asked, turning hawk -like eyes in
boundless curiosity on the- face -.'of his
clerk. •• -
"My sister," replied, Daiid -Deinp-
ster quickly, resenting at last his em-
ployer questioning ; then, to that gen-
tleman's astonishment, he walked out of
the room. When Mr. Macdovvell re -
:covered from the double surprise, he
sent the office- bey after David Demp-
ster to bring him back. But in a few
minutes the -lad returned with the mes-
sage that Mr. Dempster had no more
time to waste, and that if. Mr.. Mac-
dowell had anything to *ay to him, he
could addrees him to Drumkeillour.
Mr. Macdowall bit • his lip, and wished
his partner would come in. HovWiiid
bothhad been, not to have guessed that
Dempster was something other than he
'seemed.' A Dempster ot Drumkeillour!
Impossible Macdoitall was a Thorn=
ton man by birth,. and - knew Drumkeil-
lour and Pitske_ne very- well by name. -
He bit his lip in annoyance as he recall-
ed- the countless humiliations David
Dempster had suffered at his hands, and.
his busy brain was already concocting
a, clever epistle, destined to make ample
restitution and excuse for the same. I
may state here that .-the letter was duly
written and sent to Drumkeillour, but
to this day Messrs. Maedowall & West
await a reply.
While her father was out„,Maggie had
been making hurled preparations for
their sudden journey; but she had found
time to send a messenger to Frank's
lodgings asking slum to come
over at once. Itwas only a
chance that he . might be in;
but, fortunately, he had not yet gone to
his work at the Infirmary, --and Maggie's
note was so urgent, and yet so inexpli-
cable, that he set out fer Bucecleu3h
Place at once. He found Maggie in the
parlour, with flushed face and untidy
hair, vigorously packing a. huge port-
manteau on the floor. .
" Hullo, little • woman! what's all
this ?" he exclained in amazement. "Go-.
ing to the antipodes, eh ?"
No. Oh, Frank, such a thing has
happened 1" she explained breathlessly,
i
not even pausing n her labors. • "Aunt
Robins has died; and just think, daddy
has got Drumkeillour at last." .
Frank sit down, and stared at the girl,
in greater amazement still. -
"Don't think me very heartless,
Frank," said Maggie, with a little un-
certain smile. But you know I can't
pretend to be sorry when I'm not one
