"Instincts, indeed! You are no cat or

able young man—your uncle's heir, mind
you—in a way that gars him say he'll;

"I am very sorry if 1 lia.ve offended
for I really like him, but I thought it
only right to explain that I could give
hini no hope."
"And he did nae offend you?"
"Oh, no, uncle. Kenneth, would never

into my ain hands, so I'll want Kenneth
to lie my factor, and we twa men folk
would be ill all without a lassie to look
after us—so you speak up, Kenneth,
my man, and ask her before nay face."
"Nol Kenneth, do not!" cried Mona,
coloring, with pain athaving to disap-
point her uncle, and also with irritation
at the denseness which prevented Irian
from perceiving the unsuitability of such
a marriage. "I should only repeat what
I have said before. Though I am heart -
Hy sorry to refuse any request of yours,
uncle, it is impossible I can let anyone
choose a husband for me."
".And I must declare I canna wish to
marry a young leddy who has refused
me three times! It. would be very un-
wise to tak' a reluctant wife. May be
some other young leddy—"
Kenneth got so far, when Mr. Craig
interrupted him bitterly—
"Ay, ay, my lad! there's as good fish
in the sea as ever was caught; an' 1 see
It's no your fault. I don't know what's
the matter wi' you, Mona? If you have
another lad in your e'e, fell be some
ne'er-doweel, I'm afeared. If it's yon
sneering demi!, Everard, he wadna walk
across the street for you. You'll be sor-
ry for your contra.dictiousness one day."
"My dear uncle," laughing, "I never
supposed Bertie Everard cared for mor-
tal 'but himself. I assure you I have no
Ind of any description in my mind's eye."
"Aweel," cried Uncle Sandy, greatly
enraged, "It is vara ungrateful and un-
becomin' to mak' a laughing -stock of
your uncle, wha has spent a kist o'
siller on you! To think that you'll re-
fuee a fine, good young man, and never
give a thought of year puir unelee cold -
fort, all $or inere selfishneee, and an
ill-
plaeed fancy. A woman's life is no good
to her, if she ho.siaa a husband to rule
her."
"In that I can not agree with you! I
am sincerely sorry to disappoint you;
but if you think of it, you will see how
impossible it is for any one to choose
a husband or wife for another. I am by
no means afraid of managing my own
life unassisted by a husband."
"Eh, you think yoa might rule the
kingdom, I dram say! But I'll no have
anybody wi' me that. will not hear rea-

neth, firmly. "I will not stand in my

He had been fidgeting uneasily, eager
to put in a word.
'You'll not sten' in your cousin's way!
you'll not! What's that to you? Are
you haith so daft -like as to think you

"And you may please yourself for me,

didn't try to do as yo udesired."
"Aweel, I know that, an' I shall not
forget it, though I will not have you
aiciatiag and presuming. You just give
notice tb your empleyera, and come aa'
ere' me to Craigdarroch. And. you, Mona,
I am done wi' you; you may go to your
churn. I renounce you; you are just
heartlees, like your ould grandmithees
fine aristocratic freends, and look down
on folks that are better than yourself."
"You ought not to be so angry with

That lady was not at hoxne. She
had gone to peso the evening with a
German violinist and his wife, with
whom she was on rather intimate terms,
so Mona sat down to wait for her.
She had often felt weary of poor Uncle
Sandy's whims and exactions, but she
had grown to care more for him than she
knew. He land, become so dependent on
her, that the maternal instincts of a wo-
man's heart had gone out to the crea-
ture she proteeted. Moreover, she be-
lieved him to be a greater sufferer than
he really was. That he should attempt
to dictate to her in such a purely per-
sonal matter was hurtful enough, but
that be should. rudely turn her out
wounded her deeply. How miserable
the old man would be, too, Del alone,
doing battle with the landlady, and fret-
ting over a hundred and one trifling an-
noyances from which he bad. hitherto

moieture on her cheek was a tear ? She
was afraid that, on the whole, she was
no favorite of fortune. It seemed her
fate to be constantly uprooted. How
little rest she had known since she left .
the tranquil seclusion of her Dresden
school—only a few months of feverish
fitful joy, and then clouds and. dark-,

a summer's night. "That is too bad!
To think of me talking to that castle -

here with you, dear. How is it you got
away from our dear Old Man of the
Sea ?"
"Easily enough, dear Deb! Uncle San-
dy has turned me out because I have
decidedly refused to marry Kenneth Mac -
aster.
"Turned you outl" repeated Mme. De-
brisa.y, as she struck a match and light- ,
ea the gas. "Has he gone off his head?"
"I do not think so; but I have ven-
tured to believe you will take me in,
and hi that belief I have told Mrs. Pail-
diford that my room was wanted, so I ,
came over here."
"Turned you out!" repeated Mme. De-
brisa,y, sitting down suddenly and taking
off her bonnet, which she dropped ofi
the floor; "and all for not marrying that
long-legged Highlander, who is not fit
to dust your shoes."
"No, no, Deb! he is a very good fel-
low!"
"Oh, good enough, but not for such ae
you. So I suppose it is all over!"
"What is all over?" nslred Mona.
"My hopes that your uncle woull pro-
vide for you. Now you are no better off
than you were before. Indeed you ere
worse off, for you have to make up for
all the time you spent wandering about
with that old bear."
"The usual fate of legacy hunters," re- .
turned Mona, smiling.
`You are no legacy hunter, Mona. I
declare that cantankerous uncle of
yours can have no more heart than a
feint."
"I do not believe Ile is quite heartless,"
said Mona, thoughtfully; "I believe he is
fond of me, and will soon recall me." .
"When I hope you will have more spir-
it than to respond!" cried madame, In-
dignantly; "he deserves to be left, to
hirelings for the rest of his days,"
"That would be a cruel punishment
for an outbreak of temper; it was noth-
ing more. Came, dearest Deb, I am tired
and depressed; I will go4to bed. Do you
know that it is very delightful, the idea
of breakfasting tete-a-tete with you to-
morrow ?"
"Is it, my darling? Ah, it warms my 1
heart to hear you say so! If you be-
longed to me now; if you were my own,
own child, oh, it woula give me the
strength of a dozen women to work for
you and. fight for you; not but I'd do
it all the same, only I'd have a right to
you, then."
"Until I married some selfish tyrant ot
a man, vvlio would show his love by sep-
arating me from you," returned Mona,
taking her band in both hers with an af-
fectionate smile.
"Ala just so," sighed. Mme, Debriss..y;
"there are eddies of misfortune at every
bend in the stream of life; some slip past
them and more slip in. I don't know
how it is, Mona, you always remind me
of nay precious baby girl that was taken
from me when she was two years old.
She had hair just Here yours. How much
the heart can live through; I died mac
death when I found out the real man I
had married, but 1 dame to life again
with the life I gave. Then I went down
to the grave once more with my sweet
baby, and draped on at halbconecrous ex-
istence till Debrisay went; that took

eveuld we be without love? It is the true

The next day was one of Mete. Debri-
eay's busiest, and it WAS exceedingly vat.
Mona eat indoors very cententedly, buy
with book or needle, and Uncle Sandy
made no sign.
The following evening, Kenneth made

"And you may have that, Corwin to

I suspect there is not much wool."
"There is no telling," said lieuneth.
"But I Mak he is rich, My peior mother
thought he was ferry rich."
"NVe shall never know till poor Uncle,
Sandy has no further need. of our ser-
vices," said Mona, smiling. "So there
is no,use conjecturing."
"That is true, Eh, but he is dread-
fully angered against Mona," retureed
Kenneth, addressing Mane. Debrisay.
"Wlren I said I would come over and. see
her, he broke out against her, and for-
bade me to cross your threshold. I could
not stand that. I just told him that
was willing to obey him in many ways,1
but that neither of tie had any right to
quarrel with her. So, after some words
—a good many words—he told me to do ,
as I liked, but I was never to name your
name to him. He is awful miserable—
just fretting the flesh off his bones. We
are to /garb for Craigdarroch on Mon. ;
day."
"On Monday!" exclaimed madame.
"And will they let you away from the
office so soon?"
"I don't think I am so valuable that
they want to k'eep me," said Kenneth,
with a grin. "Anyhow, we are off on
Monday; and I can't say I like having
the care of Uncle &Indy all that way.
We are to stay a couple of days in Glas-
gow, that he may see his man of busi- 1
nese, and then go on to Kirktoun—that's
the nearest station to Craigdarroch. It's
on a loch, I believe, and it's a fine place." 1
"You must write and let us know how
my help there, Kenneth." r
"1 will drop you a line, cousin. The
worst is, I see no cbance of getting away
north to Gleneorrie. My uncle will not
let me stir from him."
"That will be trying. You would want
my help there, Kennetht."
"Eh, I should indeed. Uncle Sandy
treats ane very different from what he
does you. I cannot manage for him in
the house, but I am not afraid of the
frelds and the woods, ril manage them
fine. I was always the laias factor till
my poor mother died, and then Uncle
Sandy would have me in an office to
learn business."
Some more talk and friendly conjec-
ture 'made timepass quickly till Ken-
neth rose to bid them good -night.
Mona could hardly believe that Uncle
Sandy would leave town without seeing
her, and she kept a good deal indoors
until the Monday fixed for his departure;
but the old man made no advance. In-
deed', one afternoon Mme. Debi:miry met
him walking with the aid of his stick,
when he passed her without the slightest !
sign of recognition. She came home in '
high wrath, and denounced his folly and
obstinacy, and many other bad' qualities,
with much eloquence. Mona said noth-
She was hurt by her uncle's conduct,
Mg. .
but not inconsolable. She only regretted
seriously the period of the year at which ;
the break had occurred, as the difficulty
of finding employment forced her to
impinge on her small capital. /
Mme. Debrisay insisted on her being a
guest for at least a month, to wheel' the
fear of offending her kind hostess com-
pelled Mona to agree. Otherwise, the
rest and congenial companionship were
very delightful. 1
,
Uncle Sandy had been gone about a I
week, and the last days of July were fast '
slipping away, when one warm, sultry
afternoon, as Mona was leaving Marshall
& Snelgrove'swhere she had been shop-
ping for madame, whose soul expanded i
at sale time, a smart footman overtook
her, accosting her with the words, "If
you please'm, Lady leinistoun would be
glad to speak to you."
Lady Finistoun?" repeated Mona,
looking around. "Where is she?"
"Her ladyship is in the carriage, close
by."
Following the man, Mona was soon
shaking hands with her former ally.
"I was so afraid I should miss you,
dear," cried the young peeress, shaking
1 hands warmly with her. "I was afraid
you had vanished from me altogether.
Bertie told me about meeting you abroad
with a wonderful old millionaire of an
uncle. Come, let me drive you wherever
you are going, or, better still, let me
take you to see baby. Such a dear, dar-
ling baby. You will be enchanted 'arab
him, Do corefe in. Open the door, Wil-
liam."
"Oh, yes! I sliould be delighted to see
your baby, dear Evelyn!" said Mona.
The next Minute she was seated besid.o
Lady Finistoun, and driving toward that
lady's hoose.
"Why did you not let me know you
were in town?"
"I have not been long here," returned
Mona, "and I have been busy. or did
I think of looking you up. You see it is
no use !attempting to be on the old foot-
ing. We must drift apart,"
"Oh, nonsensel You look as well—
indeed better than ever. You will never
lose your style, Mona, and I dare say
you will marry very welt, especially with
this rich oak behind your
"ely uncle has an heir."
"No! Has he? How very disgraeeful!
Never mind, clear, you are evidently a
favorite of fortune. Mae are you stay-
ing now?"
"With Maclaine Debrietay."
"And what have you done with the un-
cle'?"
"He has quarrelled with me rind left
me."
"Oh, you foolish giril How did you
offend him?"
"It is too long a stay to tell you
now. Tell me about yourself." '
Nothing loath, Leely Pinietoura pour-
ed forth the annals of a golden life flood-
ed with the sunthine of ptoeperity--with
busy pleeeure and timeless, though kind-
ly, happiness.

Custom of Old -Time _ Doctors in a New
England Town Explained.
Up in New England town there is h
medical society which is of 60 years'
standing and has the custom of meet-
ing on the Thursday before the full of
the moon. Recently, says The New
York Sun, some of the younger meanbers
tried to change the time of meeting to
the third Wednesday of every month.
Three of the oldest members rose up
and protested. They gave the reason
for the peculiar arrangement.
"When this association was formed,"
said one of them, "there were not elec-
tric lights and good roads the way there
are now. The society took in the whole
country and it was often a difficult mat-
ter for the doctors who lived in the
country to drive home after nightfall.
"So we called the moon to our aid' and
set the date for the Thursday before
the full of the moon. It is bright moon-
light at a seasonable hour then and the
doctors could see their way home.
"I know there is no necessity for such
an arrangement now, but this will seem
like a new society if we do not meet the
Thursday before the full of tho moon?'

The Will to Live.
The will to live is demonstrated in an
exhibit in a plumber's window on upper
Third avenue, says the New York Sun.
The object is all that 'remains of a rat
that had scuatilmw been caught in a Med
pipe just. about large enough to hold its
body. It had run in and could not turn
or back out, but it had no intention of
dying there. It gnawed a hole through
the pipe, but, unfortunately, it started to
squeeze through before it had made the
hole big enough, so it just got its head
and forepaws through and died there af-
ter all. Tim plumber says he cut out the
section 'of the pipe while overhauling eta
plumbing in the Lenox Library. He ex-
plains the good preservation of the speci-
men bysa,ying that it "must have" been
frozen to death and got petrified."

Fate of the Peacemaker.

An eastern man at a baseball game was
annoyed by a squabble that delayed the con-
test, and descending from his seat he offer-
ed to arbitrate the dispute. Ills first words
to the nurse in the hospital where he awolte
several hours later were: "Cyclone, wasn't
It?" Of course ,tho moral Is as ma as the
hills. The man who officiously interferes in
a family quarrel may expect that all personal
grievances will be forgotten while the en-
tire crowd turns In and hands him all the
credentials necessary for a quick ride in a
