Mona laughed, and gave Lady Finis-
toun a slight sketch of the situation,
ht which that interesting young peer-
ess was immensely interested.
"The 'brew Hielandman' is no doubt
an excellent person," she said; "but 1
should like to see yousole heir to your
uncle's wealth. I suppose he is very

"Not acording to your standard, 1

woman wants but little here below to I

"Oh, of course not! Still one wants

poor Geraldine will get on. She will not

"May I," began Mona, with a slight
hesitation, "may I send my love to your

you know she has a right to be angry
with me. I did not behave well to-"
"To poor Leslie Waring!" put in Lady

"My dear Mary, you are a complete

to the drawing -room, and found her and
Kenenth standing very close together
in the window. "I do not know when my
poor uncle seemed so happy and. content.
She will eut me out, Kenneth."
"Ahl that she never will! Nor would
ahe wish it. It was a lucky hour for us
when I met you, Cousin Mona."
"I am glad you think SO, Kenneth.
Now we are not to sit up burning lights,"
continued Mona, laughing.
'There's splendid moonlight, which
costs nothing," returned Kenneth. "Let
us blow out the candles and have a little
talk before we go to bed; we have scarce
had a word together yet."
The well -assorted trio sat for some
time talking softly in the silvery rad-
iance of the moon, the delicious perfume
of the pine trees breathing on the cool
night breeze -and then crept quietly to
their respective chambers.
Lisle proved a tree prophet. The day
but one after his visit, Uncle Sandy and
his guests had asembled in the library
to their five o'clock tea. This was a
serious meal, with bannocks and scones,
cookies, bread and. butter, preserves, and
toast.
It served to support nature till eight
o'clock supper, aiter which came prayers
and bed. Mr. Craig had just "asked a
blessing," when the eound of an ap-
proaehing carriage interrupted his attack
on the toast and newly -made straw-
berry jam.
"It is anither visitor," he said. "Why,
one might as weel be in Edinburgh or
London."
"We had not many visitors in Lon-
don," observed Mona.
As she spoke, Jessie, the youthful
housemaid, came hastily Into the room.
"There is a leddy speerin' for you, Miss
Craig!" she exclaimed, "a brew leddy,
in a chaise wi 'twa ?cavities."
"It must be Lady Finistoun," said
Mona, rising. "I may bring her in,
uncle?"
"Eh? Surely. Ask her ta tak' a cup
of tea."
Mona hastened to the door, before
which, in a light basket -carriage drawn
by two wicked -looking dun ponies, sat
Lady Finistoun, and beside her an elder-
ly lady made up in the most youthful
style.
"Ahl my dear Mona! So you are at
home. I am so glad." She gave the reins
to a smart diminutive groom, and step-
ped out quickly, embracing Mona with
effusion, Lady Finistoun continued, "I
was so delighetd to hear you were
within reach. I have brought Miss Mor-
ton with me. You know Miss Morton?
No! Oh, well, you ought; everyone
knows her."
"Then I must be no one," said Mona,
laughing. "I am very glad to see you.
Evelyn. You must come in; we are at
tea; my uncle begs you will Join us.
Descending the steps, she courteously
invited Miss Morton to alight.
'Certainly, with pleasure," said that
lady, with much decision, and, followed
by both new arrivals, Mona led the way
to the library.
Miss Morton was very tall, and rather
bony; her long neck was surmounted by
a istiall head and a face short and broad
for its size, rather of the pug order, with
Small, keen, light -brown eyes. Her com-
plexion seemed to have suffered a good
deal from exposure to weatIter, and was
considerably and undoubtedly powdered.
She wore a very masculine -looking over-
coat of light tweed with a round cape,
a small deer -stalker cap, and a
'white gauze veil tied round it,
which at present was turned
back with a curious effect. Lady Finis -
ton wore a heather -colored costume, ex-
quisitely draped and fitting admirably
-trimming, buttons, gloves, hat with a.
pheasant's wing, 1111 matching to perfec-
tion, and admirably becoming to the
pretty brunette fact and dainty figure
of the wearer.
"Uncle, let me introduce Lady Finis-
toun and Miss Morton to you," said
Mona.
"I am sure I ant verra pleased to see
ony friends o' my niece," said. Uncle
Sandy, rising after two distinet efforts,
and smiling on the visitors. Like most
eeotehmen, he was much mollified by the
eight of a pretty face. "Ye'll sit doon
and tak' a cup of tea or a glass a wine
after your drive. Here, Jessie, set a
chair for the teddy by me, and bring
cups and places. Where'll the Wier leddy

"Thank you, Mr. Craig," said. Lady
Pinistouit, in her soft, sweet tones; "a

our long drive; for I stupidly, lost my

just insisted on her takire porridge to
her breakfast."
"Porridge is exceedingly indigestible,
and bad for the complexion," said Mies
Morton, between the mouthfuls of ereani
scones.
"You're wrang!" cried. Uncle Sandy.
"Just look at the men at the men and
women aro reared on porridge! There's
no their equals to be tound. on earth!"
"My dear sir, I don't imagine you have
seen much of earth beyond your native
land."
"You're wrang there again, mem. I've
just come back from over a year's wan-
dering wi' my niece about the continea
of Europe; and there's little I saw there

"Ah, I see you are one of the large
claas who think their geese swans."
"I'm much obleeged for your high
opeenion, mem; but I am no such a fule
body. I have the mist, intelligent men
of all times on my side."
"Miss Morton has an intellectual love
of argument," said Lady Finistoun,
soothingly, and is generally in opposi-
tion to the foeman she considers most
worthy of her steel. But I am anxious
to see your eharming gardens, if there is
time after tea. Sir St. John Lisle tells
me it is a gem of a place."
"Weel, I hope you will come as often
as you like to look at it," returned Uncle
Sandy.
"It is admirably situated. A family
place, I suppose?" asked Miss Morton,
passing up her cup.
"Nam!" exclaimed Uncle Sandoy. "I
bought it with my ain hard-earned
money."
"Oh, you lucky man! Of all powers
the one I envy most is the power of
making money."
"You have quite -enough, dear," said
Lady Finistoun. "Now, my dear Mr.

"She's no your cousin," said Uncle

when she most needed them."
"But she is indeed my cousin; and

"It would be hard to say ye nay," he of him," she said, after a few moment's
silence. "He was kind and generous, and
deserved a better woman than 1 am."
"Oh, you were always good! I am
sute we were all fond of you. My moth-
er took your refusal to marry Mr. ‘a ar-
ing dreadfully to heart; but Sir Robert
would not let her write to you. He was
awfully angry. Then you know what
heaps of things she always has to do, so
I suppose she gradually forgot."
Mona was silent. While Lady Mary
Everard forgot, she might have starved
though she acknowledged that she had
no claim on Sir Robert Everard and his
wife. Thank God! there were true souls
to be found with hearts and memories.
"You know, Mona, you are really
lucky," Lady Finistoun was saying, when
Mona listened again. "As soon as you
threw away one fortune, you picked up
another. I can see that the dear uncle
is very fond of you, so -but," interrupt-
ing herself, "I hear the carriage. Yes(
and I protest Milly Morton has entrap-
ped the handsome Highlander to come
so far with her. She is an awful flirt -
can't live without it, in fact! She makes
such a fool of herself sometimes."
Then came leave-taking, and the visit-
ors drove off as the soft gloom of an
autumnal night began to deepen in the
east.
"Do you mind. walking back by your-
self?" asked Kenneth. "I am going up
the hill a bit to speak a word. to Allan,
the shepherd."
"Oh, no. I am only a few steps from
our own road, and there is nothing to
fear among these delightful hills."
"That's trtie. Ell be back before sup-
per," and Kenneth went swiftly on, with
a free, swinging step.
The sound of the footfall had hardly
died away when another caught Mona's
ear and seemed to gain upon her. In
spite of her assertion that "there was
nothieg to fear," she felt an odd uneasi-
ness that, though not absolutely fear,
was unpleasant; nor was she surprised
when a voice behind her said, "Good ev-
ening, Miss Craig! I did not hope to ere
you so far afield." Theti she was obliged
to pause and turn and greet Lisle, who
soon overtook her. He carried a gun on
his shoulder. and was followed by a gil-
reply from Balmuir."
"This is a piece of luck! I was shoot-
ing in this direction, se thought.of tak-
ing Craigdarroch on my my way back,
to tell your uncle that I have had no
reply from aBlmuir."
Mote was anoyed at this rencontre.
She wanted to walk back aloile in undis-
turbed thought. The report of Waring
she had just heard had affected her.
She was so scrry for him! Arid now
came Lisle to stir up the less worthy
side of her nature -for Mona was by no
means an angel all round. She had de-
bated with herself how silo should treat

told herself, fele had. no right to feel;

returned, a snide puckering up his self-
satisfied faze. "Mona may please her-
self."
"Do you always wear the kilt?" said
Miss Morton, abruptly, to Kenneth.
"Mostly, when Pm amang the heath -
"It's very becoming," said she, with
an admiring glance. "I do not wonder
at Highland gentlemen wearing it, but
you are all very conceited."
"I am sorry you think so."
"Don't you admit it?"
"I am not sure."
"Ah I that is the cautious Scot all over.
Tell me, are you his nephew?" nodding
in the direction of Mr. Craig.
"I am."
"And. Miss Craig's brother?"
"No; my name is Kenneth Macalister."
"Ah! Highland to the backbone. Then
is this young lady your sister?"
Kenneth and Mary blushed simulan'e-
ously.
"I see. No, certainly not," returned
Miss Morton, with a harsh laugh. Now,
Mr. Macabster, the room is rather warm;
haven't you a shrubbery or a garden, or
something to show me? I don't care to
sit here any longer."
Kenneth rose reluctantly.
"Oh, yes; I can take you for a stroll."
"I am going to look at the grounds,"
said the resolute spinster to her chaper-
one, "with Mr. Maealister."
"My niece will-" began Uncle Sandy,
but Miss Morton promptly interrupted
bim.
"Oh, no, thank you; I don't want any
young ladies; a Highlander is enough for
me"; and she walked off, followed some-
what sheepishly by Kenneth.
"Milly Morton professes not to like
women," explained Lady Finistoun,
laughing.
"Mair's the pity," said. Uncle Sandy,
dryly, "for I'm thinking few men would
like her!"
"I assure you they do. She is very
popular, and. has had endless offers -to
be sure, she has a ;rood fortune."
"Wee!, weell oilier is nae everything In

I'll go round the grounds with you my-
self."
I "Thank you," and Lady Finistoun eat-
isfied her host's heart with exclamations
of admiration and delicately administer-
ed flattery.
I "Well, my dear sir, I must tear myself
' away. The shades of evening will be
round us before we reach the Lodge, and
I have not settled about Mona's visit."
"I just leave it to herself."

"I think, dear, you had better not

DEAD WATER AND SPEED.
One of the most curious marine pheno-
mena known to seamen is that cabled
Norwegian sailors "dead water," which with-
out any visible cause, makes a vessel lose
her speed and refuse to answer her helm.
The sailor's only definate knowledge of its
origin is that is exists solely where there
Is a surface layer of fresh water resting
upon the salt waters of tlie sea. Several ex-
planations have been advanced by the cap-
tains of ships of the effect of dead water,
the commonest of which is pat' the two
water layers move in different, directions.
The true explanation, however, recently of-
fered by Swedish navigators and verified by
mathematical calculation and direct experi-
ment is that in addition to the "resistance
waves" at the surface the vessel creates a
second line of subaqueous waves between the
two strata of water.
The experiment carried out to demonstrate
the truth of this °theory was an exceedingly
'pretty ono. A largo plate glass tank was
first mounted on a wooden frame. 'Phe tank
was then filled to a certain depth with salt
water and a layer of fresh water was care-
fully poured onto the surface, so that the
two separate water layers were obtained. The
salt water was blackened with liquid Chin-
ese ink before the water layers were pre-
pared. and in this way the different layers
were.made more visible. A boat model was
then towed along the tank, and a silhouette
of the waves produced was obtained by plat-
ing a white screen at &short distance be-
hind the tank. The waves were also photo-
graphed by flashlight, and the results show-
ed conclusively that waves actually were
set up at the boundary line between the two
liquids.
Further experiments were made to verify
the sudden loss Of speed duo to dead water.
The boat model was drawn across the tank
and the towing string suddenly slackened
when the boat was about half way across.
In cases where trio tank contained salt water
only the boat stopped gradually, moving
some boat lengths after the towing string
had been slackened. When the tank con-
tained a layer of fresh water resting ou
salt water, on the other band the boat slack-
ened speed quite suddenly and moved only
a very short dintance. These experInlente
carried out on a small scale, •proved con-
clusively that the difficulties encountered
within a dead water zone are really duo to
the resistence experienced by the vessel in
generating invisible waves at the fresh water
salt boundary, although tu some particular
cages the influence of undercurrents muet
also, doubtless bo taken into account.-IProin

strange friends, says the Baltimore
News.
Yesterday a young woman got on a
car, sat down and made herself com-
fortable, and was immediately seized
with the conviction that her waist was
unfastened. She has had these convic-
tions before, and they are always wrong,
but this thne when she put her hand
back .surreptitiously, sure enough, not
one of the little buttons was in the but-
tonhole appointed for it.
The girl knew that if she attempted
to fasten it herself her contortions
would be such as to attract the atten-
tion of everyone in the car.
She thought the situation over care-
fully. There were five men in the vehi-
cle and only one woman. The woman
was in the very front seat.
After some consideration, the girl de-
termined that the thing to do was to go
up to the member of her own sex and
beg her indulgence and assistance. She
did go, and when she stated her er-
rand was received with a lovely smile.
"You see how I am backed up against
the wall, whispered the stranger; 'well,
that is to conceal the fact that my
waist is unfastened also. I was just
wondering what I should do. Let us go
to the back seat and help each other,"
which they did to the immense delight
of the men, who, while apparently
reading their papers, were really i.e.
garding these maneuvres with interest.

of happy expectation of the good things
to come, "I will give you such an oyster

"Yes, sah; yas, sale" replied the dar-

FOR EMERGENT OCCASIONS.
Hold a piece of ice to a burned finger
until the smarting ceases, and no blister
will form on the skin.
Bicarbonate of soda ,(ordlnary baking so-
da) is a safe and effectual remedy for burns
or scalds. Make into a paste and apply to
the raw surface, keeping in place by a thin
cotton or linen bands. Renew from time to
time until the skin is healed.
The white of an egg is good for slight
burns. Never use flour or coton britting,
as their tendency is to stick to the raw sur-
face,
One of the most soothing applications for
a fire burn is raw potato, scraped or grat-
ed, and bound like a .poultice on the injured
surface.
Lime water mixed •wlth linseed or table
oil makes a good dressing on absorbent cot-
ton, or use a carbolic solution, using two
parts of hot (as can be borne) boiled water
to ono part of carbolic solution.
Baking soda is good for an aching tooth;
for bathing surface which is broken out
with hives or prickly heat; to take intern-
ally for sour stomach.
When children swallow hurtful things, if
it causee choking and smyptoms of stiffo-
cation, either turn the child upside down
and strike quickly between theshoulders or
run the finger back into the throat to hook
it outor bast of all, push it down.
When things with sharp edges, like bits
of glass, are swallowed, feed on potatoes in
every form for two or three days until the
fragments appear. Use with this diet fro-
quent injections in the bowels.
With hurtful liquids, use an emetic; e.
teaspoonful of mustard 'mixed with one-half
cupful of warm water, swallowed at onco.
Then cup after cupful of lukewarm water
must bo given, pressing the tinged down the
throat to .encourage vomiting; if it does not
come in fifteen minutes, repeat. After vom-
iting is induced, give castor oil.
To extract live insects from the oar pour
