The fine weather which had prevailed
for some weeks now broke up, and Octo-
ber presented itself in gloomy guise, with
wild winds and driving rain, which per-
mitted but little outdoor exercise to the
girls.
Nothing kept Kenneth at home. Ifo
came in to his meals,. damp and glowing
from the exhilarating struggle with wind
and weather, and beaming with the hope
and happiness which grew more and more
as he perceived his beloved Mary was
creeping into his uncle's heart.
Uncle Sandy himself was a little com-
plaining and cranky; but, on the whole,
music and reading, the state of the
stocks,andbo k-ke i h Kenneth's
o ping, w t
help, kept thein tolerably amused during
this period of imprisonment.
Lisle made no sign. Mona was not
sorry. His presence, without having a
distinctly disturbing effect, awoke pain-
ful memories, and obliged her constantly
to think before she spoke. At length a
fairly bright morning broke upon the
deluged country, and Mona undertook to
drive into Kirktoun to execute divers
commissions.
Uncle Sandy objecting to being left
alone, Mona, departed with only "the
boy" in attendance.
!laving finished her business, she turn-
ed her horse's head homeward, and had
alighted to walk up the steep road which
led -from the loch to Craigdarrooh, when
a sportsman, with dog and gun, suddenly
emerged from a small wood which filled
a sheltered hollow, and approached her.
Sho recognized Lisle, and paused to
speak to him.
"It is more than a fortnight since I
saw you l" he exclaimed, in an aggrieved
tone, while his keen, light eyes sparkled
with the joy of seeing her, and his hard
mouth relaxed into a pleasant smile.
"I suppose it is," returned Mona, smil-
ing.
"It is a delightful day for walking.
'Will you not tell your servant to talc%
the trap home, and let me have the plea-
sure of escorting you by the short way
"I ani unaware of it," returned Mona.
"And you will not listen to my ex.
planation?"
'I do not see what you have to ex-
plain; and, were any explanation neces-
sary, there is no time; we are close to
the house, and I suppose you will come
in and see Uncle Sandy?"
"Most certainly. But, Miss Craig, 1
must insist—I mean, I must implore you
to hear the explanation I wish to make."
"I really want none!—,perhaps I un-
derstand more than you think."
"I fear you may understand in a wrong
way."
"Well, here we are at the house, and
hero comes Uncle Sandy and Mary. If,
in a paroxysm of anxiety, my uncle asks
you to supper, do not stay I know the
menu, and you would not Eike it."
Then hastening to meet them, she ex-
claimed—
"I have brought you each a letter, but
there is none tor me from Madame De-
brisay. I fear something must be the
matter with her."
CHAPTER XXII.
Lisle had never before been so piqued
and frustrated as he was by Mona's
mode of receiving his advances.
Had she shown coldness or resentment,
he could have understood the position.
But liar sweet friendliness was utterly
barffling.
His impatience, the eager fire that
quickened his pulses, urged him perpet-
ually to seek her; while pride, and his
habitual reluctance to commit himself,
held him back.
It was a running fight between these
two forces, through the couple of weeks
which succeeded Mona's visit to Straith-
airlie; but the strongest finally prevail-
ed, and telling himself he really ought
to let that old boor lit Craigdarroch
know that the right of fishing question
was settled, he started in wonderfully
good spirits for his morning's sport, in-
tending to end the day in Mona's society.
It was an especial stroke of luck, ho
thought, to have a tete-a-tete walk with
her; but when ho reviewed their conver-
sation in the evening, while his friend
and partner slumbered, he was obliged
to confes that he had made very litle
way.

richer than people generally knew—it
was possible to escape the worst ills of

nection was most objectionable, but now-
adays that mattered little. Mona her-
self was always a social success. All so-
ciety asked was to he soothed and

into her eyes. "That. unspeakable bore,
Miss Morton, mentioned some absurd re-
port of your uncle intending to marry
you to his wild Highlander of a nephew.
It cannot be true!"
"Why?" asked Mona, demurely.
'Why? A creature like that!"
"He is very good-looking, and most
amiable in disposition."
'But ono knows how an amiable dispo-
sition may faro at your hands," he re-
turned, somewhat bitterly. "Tell me, for
God's sake, is it posible you can contem-
plate such a sacrifice? Do you really
think of linking yourself with a mere re-
spectable farmer?"
'Pray remember, if you please, that
Kenneth Macalister is my near kinsman;
he cannot be socially beneath me."

"May I tell you what my own state of

"No, Hol there le no use in looking

"I do not," said Lisle, gloomily. "But

cle, did not matter. Lisle was not the

cross him. And ii Mona loved him
(which, iif he once surrendered, and ask-
ed her to marry him, she would, warmly,
deliciously), she would yield to him in
everything. The thing was really worth
risking. Life with Mona would be very
charming for a year or so. So Lisle
reasoned, as he thought, coolly; but,'in
truth, the tide of passion was rapidly
rising to that height which- demands
gratification at any price.
Having made up 'his mind more thor-
oughly than he was perhaps aware, Lisle
found shooting, and oven door -stalking,
a less satisfying amusement than it used
to be, and two or three days after his
chance encounter with Mona, he started
for Craigdarroch, determined to begin the
siege in earnest.
It was a crisp, clear afternoon, and
seldom had "his bosom's lord sat so
highly on its throne." Of his success he
never doubted. Tho only question that
ho debated mentally, was how soon it
would be in good taste to declare him-
self. They were not strangers. She
must know that he had b'cen a good deal
smitten with her' nearly four years ago.
It was only taking tip the dropped stitch-
es in the web of their lives. He would
be guided by circumstances.
"Is Mr. Craig at home, and the young
ladies?" he demanded of the little mai
who came when he rang.
"The maister's in. but—" she was be-
ginning, when Mr. Craig himself appertr.
ed, with his inevitable stick, at the lib.
lary door.
"Eh, coffee your ways!" he cried, "I
saw , o as ye walked up the drive. I'm
glad to see you. I'm here Mane; they're
a' not."
"Indeed!" said Lisle, going into the li-
brary, intending to give the old lean n
few minutes, to find' out where Dtona
'had gone, and to follow her. "What has
become of your nieces?"
"Mary Black is no niece of mine. She
is a nier.-liko girlie, but I have no kin
except Mona and Kenneth. Well, they

railed it "red.")

Lisle was silent with vexation. Had
ho but known, ho might have escorted
her to Glasgow, if not to London, and
what a different journey it would have
been from the last they had taken toge-
ther! He was certainly out of luck.
"Still, I am surprised you did not send
young Macalister with her!" exclaimed
Lisle, when he had mastered his impulse
to swear audibly and energetically at the
self-satisfied, miserly old 'scarecrow that
had let his charming niece -the tempo-
rary idol and future wife of Sir St. John
Lisle -go off alone, to struggle with por-
ters and pasengers like a poor servant
girl going to a new place.
"What for should Kenenth waste his
dime when I wanted him here, forbye the
Biller it would cost there and back?
Young people have nae consideration --
and yet you're no lad any longer, Sir
St. John!"
"The greenness of my youth has cer-
tainly departed. But I am greatly an-
noyed about this sudden journey. I have
nothing on earth to do! If I had had
an idea Miss Craig was going alone, 1
should certainly, with your permission,
have escorted her to Glasgow, and seen
her off to London."
"Eh, ye needna fash garsel' about my
permission! Mona is varra headstrong in
some ways. She does not bend hersel' to
my wull as she ought -considering I am
willing to provide for her; and she has
crossed me in a matter I had set my
mind on. Still, she's a guid and a kind
lassie. There's just one thing we canna
agree on."
"And what may that be? asked Lisle,
to keep the old 'tan going, while 'he pon-
dered what step he should take to re-
cover his lost quarry.
"She is just awfu' set against my ney-
few Kenneth -a guid laddie and a braw
young mon--and I should like to see any
bit o' land and gowd go to baith, but
she's aye resolved not."
"But, my dear sir, you do not suppose
that a girl like Mona -I mean your niece
—could marry a mere young" -plough-
man, he was going to say, but he changed
it to the word, "countryman. It would
be too incongruous."
"He is no that countryfied. He was
for two, years in the city of London in
an office. -
"Oh, of course ,that makes a vast dif-
ference," said Lisle, gravely. "Where
does this Madame Debrisay live?"
"In a varra nice part -Westbourne Vil-
las, nigh the Royal Oak station. You'll
ken it, Pm thinking."
"1 cannot say I do," returned Lisle,
while he thought, "Old blockhead! Why
did he not give one the number?"
'There are varra fine hooses aboot
there, nn' Plenty omnibuses to a' pairts."
"Very convenient, I am sure 1 "Vhat is
this Madame Dobrisay's number? Lady
Finistoun will want to know Miss Craig's
address."
"Eh, but she knows it weel. She has
been there hersel."
"Obstinate Dad idiot!" thought Lisle;
'rho will not tell. Olt, indeed(' he said,
aloud. "You roust miss your niece very
much."
"I will do so. Sita' doot o't. She is a
remarkable, wiselike, deuce lassie -only
a wee self-opecnionated! It's amazing
that, being so long among a lot o' fule-
folk, she kept her senses so weel."
By this time Lisle had gathered him-
self together, and said:
"1 ought to apologize for speaking so
warmly, but I always take a lively in-
terest in Miss Craig."
"Sao it would seem," returned Uncle
Sandy, with a chuckle, which struck
Lisle as peculiar.
Did the old duffer. presume to form
any surmises as to the source of that
interest? Lisle thought lie had talked
to him quite long enough.
"I brought you the last communication
from the factor of Balmuir," he said.
"You see he has caved in, and you may
consider the question settled."
"Oh, that's weel, `vena weel," putting
on his glasses.
"And. I must say good -morning. Can
I do anything for you at Kirktoue? 1
am going back there."
"No, I thank ye. Kenneth will bring
back a' that is wanted."
"Good-bye then. I hope you will hear
to -morrow of Miss Craig's safe' arrival."
Liele strode away in an intense ill
humor. Mona was altogether inexplic-
able. At the shortest uotiee she was
ready to put miles betwen herself and
the man that she must know was ready
to throw himself at her feet! And all
to nurse a broken-down music mistress.
Yet there was something in her generous
rcniiness to help a friend that appealed
to his better nature. Whatever she was,
she had a sound heart! Tine, this wo-
man might have some hold over her! IIe

much thought to this side of the ques-
tion had not tho character he was con-
sidering belonged to a young and charm-
ing woman who had for the moment
escaped hien. Still, to the most selfish
comas, in occasional glimpses, the per-

ful within certain limits, but once caught

Some such ideas considerably modi-

when he heard the "flop -flop" of Mr.
Craig's heavy-footed steed, and Aeon the
ramshackle phaeton and ridiculously ills -
proportioned horse canto around a bend
of the road. In the vehicle were seated

BIRDS AS DANCERS,
A writer in the Strand says that danc-
ing is the' principal play of many barite.
Perhaps the finest of ,bird dancers is
the South American -rock o' the rock,
These birds have regular dancing Mutes,
level spots which they keep clear of
sticks and. stones.
A dozen or more of the birds assem-
ble around this spot, and then a cook
bird, his scarlet erect erect, steps into
the oentre. Spreading leis wings and
flail, Iho begins to dance, first with slow
land stately steps, then gradually more
and more rapidly until he is spinning
like a mad thing. At last, tired out,
ho sinks down, hops out of the ring, .and
another takes his place.
Some of the quail tribe are great
dancers, and so are the American sand
hill cranes. It is a most ludicrous sight
to watch a crane dancing; lie Is so
desperately solemn over the whole per-
,for+maneo. He looks like a shy young
man who has just learned to waltz and
is runner ashamed of the aceomp'thshment.

A Humane Notice.
Most of the small animals and birds
that live in agricultural districts aro
helps rather than enemies to the farmer.
It is to be regretted that farmers' boys
are brought up with the notion that they
should kill all such at every opportun-
itIn France the farmers have learned
better than this. They have gone so
far in opposing the killing of these smell
creatures that they have notices put
up in every rural community in France.
One of these bill -boards contains the
following exhortation and recitation of
facts:
"This board is placed under the pro-
tection of tine common sense and honesty
of the public.
"Hedgehogs live upon mice, snail's and
wire -worms, animals injurious to agricul-
ture. Don't kill a hedgehog.
"Toads help agriculture. Each one de-
troys twenty to thirty insects hourly.
Don't kill toads.
"Moles destroy wireworms, larvae and
insects injurious to the farmer. No trace
of vegetables is ever found in his stom-
ach; does more good than harm. Don't
kill moles.
"Birds -Each department of France
loses yearly many millions of francs by
the injury done by insects. Birds are the
only enemies capable of battling with
them vigorously; they are great helps
to farmers. Children, don't take birds'
nests." -Selected.

A Neighborly Correspondence Tilt Be-

The following 'correspondence which
'recently passed between neighbors in the

it is certainly worth reproducing in this

The Bad Boy's Quotation.
The Sunday school class had been
asked to bring a donation of five cents
each, and to study up an appropriate
quotation, to be repeated to the pastor
as each one should go up to his desk to
place his contribution in the poor bas-
ket. First boy (dropping his nickel) said:
"Cast thy bread upon the waters and
it shall be returned to thee an hundred-
fold."
Pastor -"Very good, blaster Tom."
Second boy -"What you give to the
poor you lend to the Lord."
Paster -"Good, my son."
And so on, each boy recited becom-
ingly until the bad boy's turn arrived,
and he said as he threw in his nickle:
"A fool and his money are soon parted."

Cost of Little and ]dig Wars.
so far as it has been figured up at Tokyo
the total money cost of the war with itussia
amounts to $1,100,000,000. This does not In-
clude the interest on the war debt, to hp
paid hereafter. It cost Great Britain little,
1f any. less than that to conquer the small
Boer republics of South Africa -some S700,-
000,000 being added to the principal of Eng-
land's public debt alone. Little less amazing
than Japan's overwhelming of Russian power
in eastern Asla is the comparative smallness
of the money cost.

TITLES TO ARCTIC LANDS.
Lands Hitherto Unknown Discovered and
Named by Explorers.
The voyage of the Canadian government
cruiser Arctic to the far north suggests for
consideration the question of the owaership
of some far northern lands. For many years
explorers of various natlonalitles--British,
American, Scandinavian and others .- have
ventured into the frozen wilderness lying be-
tween tho dominion of Canada and the north
pole and have there disoovered lands thither-
to unknown and have named them and plant-
ed flags upon them. There has been much
international rivalry in the work of elabo-
rating the arctic map and of pushing on
toward the pole.
But there has been little thought in the
minds of the adventurers or in that of the
public of the delimitation of international
boundaries in the realms of paleocrystto ice
and ternal snow. But now the Canadian
government brings that thought to mind
the intimation that the Dominion extends
clear to the north pole and that all the lands
which have been discovered and explored in
those regions, no matter by whom, are under
the British flag.
Academically the question is somewhat
complicated and might form the subject of
interminable argument. There are those who
hold that discovery and exploration give title
to new lands, while others insist that title is
not perfected without actual occupation and
permanent settlement. But bow it the lands
in question are not fit for or susceptible of
settlement? -New York Tribune.

Signals Fail in Foggy Weather.
(Boston Herald.)
r 1 lees
battleship Mon-
taguloss on Lundy Island in the Bristol channel
has started in the English papers a discus-
sion of the well-known fact that a foggy
s eather sound signals can not be relied
upon with any degree of certainty. Where -
ever a complete study has been made of
fog signals it bas been found that atmos-
pheric conditions, the direction of the wind
and the density of the tog make a greet dif-
ference in the distance over which sound
will carry. It has been shown that a vessel
approaching a fog signal after bearing 11
ing it for n while may miss it,
although gradually growing nearer to the
source of the Bound.
BETTER THAN SPANKING
Spanking does not cure children of bed-

this trouble. Mrs. S. M. Summers, Box 1.

instructions. Send no money, but write her
to -day tf your children trouble you in this
way. Don't blame the child; the chances
aro it can't help it. This treatment also
cures adults and aged people troubled with
urine difficulties by night or day.
