Love Gives Itself
THE STORY'`O YA' BLOOD FLUD
BY ANNIE S. SWAN,
"Love gives itself and is not bought"—Longtellow.
CHAPTER V.—(Cont'd,)
Alan was lying slightly on one side,
with his face on his arm, and, though
breathing peacefully, seemed uncon-
scious; at least, his eyes wets closed,.
his face white, and dank drops, stood
on his brow,
"Alan, Alan, darling!' . What has
happened?" she cried, and at the same
moment laid her hand to his heart to
feel whether it was beating still. Re-
assured, and hanging distraught over
him, she realized that, alone, she could
do nothing for him. She sprang up,
then, and began to flee down the slope
towards The Lees, bursting into the
house upon the heavy, middle-aged
butler, who was dozing peacefully in.
an easy -chair in the big, wide hall-
place,
"Ramsay, is your master in the
house? Something has happened to
my brother! I have just found him
lying unconscious on the Hill. Come
to my help, will you? Is your master
in?"
"I haven't seen him, miss," cried the
man, leaping up in consternation.
Where is Mr. Alan, do you say?"
"Just at the march dyke. You
know the spot. Could you get some of
the stable men do you think, and seine
sort of a stretcher, so that we can
carry him home?"
"If he is at the march dyke, Miss
Judith, would it not be better to bring
him here?" asked' Ramsay, pausing
cautiously at the door.
"No, no. We shall take him home
And is there a lad about the stable
that would ride a bicycle or a horse
into Ayr for Dr, Sanderson?"
"I'll see, miss, But will ye no come
in, and I'II tell them -my mistress, I
mean, and Miss Lucy?"
Judy impatiently shook her head.
Somehow she felt she hail no use at
the' moment for any member of the
household at The Lees; that all she
wanted was some material help.
"A drop of brandy from your cup-
board, Ramsay, if you can get it quiet-
ly, and I will run back, while you
bring as many men as you can. You
know how tall and heavy my brother
is, and it is important to get him home
as quickly as possible. What can have
happened to him I don't know! It is
terrible, and mysterious as well."
Ramsay, now thoroughly aroused,
lost no time, and was as efficient and
full of forethought even as Miss Judy
could desire.
But after she had sped across the
lawn with the brandy in her hand, he
made it his business to climb the stairs
in hot haste to find his mistress and
acquaint her with the strange tidings
just brought.
But they were not in the boudoir.
They had been tempted out by the
beauty of the evening, and were now
down in the rose garden at some con-
siderable distance fromethe house.
To his amazement, while he was
coming along one of the corridors, he
met his master looking in a strangely
dishevelled state—his face deathly
pale, his hair hanging in unkempt
range about his forehead, and carry -
ng his coat over his arm,
Now, Ramsay had been sitting half,
asleep in the hall, and had certainly
of observed or heard his master
ome in.
Oh, sir!" he faltered, for there'
was something at once terrible and'•
forbidding in his master's eye. "What
ever has happened? Miss Judith, she's
been here asking for help. I've spoken
own to the stables. She says the
aird of Stair has been felled, this'
side of the march dyke, and would I
send some of the men to carry him'
home."
"All right. Send them," answered ;
Peter Garvock as he entered his,
dressing -room and banged the door. J
More mystified than ever, for it was I
strange indeed that his master should
receive the news so callously, Ramsay,
made baste out to the stables to see
whether they were getting ready.
From the window of his dressing-
room, where he was getting rid of

arvocic saw his own stable men -

Alan Rankine opened his eyes.
There stood' by his bed his siste
Judy, Christy, the:old nurse, and Di
Sanderson from Ayr, He smiled feeb
ly up into Judy's white, orawn face.
"Don't look so desperate, old girl!
I'm better than 'a dead one yet!"
"You've got off better than you de-
serve," said the doctor brusquely.
"Perhaps now'you'll have the goad-
ness to say what pranks you've be
up 'to on Barrassie Hill?"
"Not the first time Barassie ha
seen a prank of yours and mine, Bob
hie," answered Alan, "I suppose
fainted away. Nothing to make a fu
about. Who found me? And wh
brought me home?"
"I found you; and the men fro
The Lees carried you home. But who
did it, Alan?"
Judy's
eyes were very searching,
her face grave, her whole expression
troubled.
"Bobbie, tell her not to ask any
inure questions," said Alan, fixing im-
ploring eyes on the face of his old
friend and doctor: "I'll tell her by
and by."
Bobbie Sanderson looked at Judy
Rankine with an expression of kind-
liness mixed with reverence. He had
been so much with •her, all these
months of the old leird'a illness, that
he had probed all the depths of her
s'eet nature.
All sorts and conditions of women
did Bobbie Sanderson meet in the
course of the day's work; and in the
;little inner sanctuary, where the best
were enshrined, Judy Rankine held
high plat.,
As for Judy, she felt towards Bob-
bie as as a brother, and had often told
him how much he had helped her to
turn a bright, brave face to the wea-
ther.
Obeying the glance from Rankine's
eyes, Bobbie turned to her now.
Miss Rankine, may I suggest that
you should just see that your brother'!
'room is quite ready? We must get
him to bed as soon as possible, and let
me find out whether any bones are
broken. None are, I believe; but it is
a sure thing that he will be better in
his bed,"
If Judy understcod that she was be-
ing comfortably got rid of for the mo-'
meat, she made no sign, but turned
obediently away. She had learned
I never to complicate life by foolish in-
sistence on the things which are of no
account. If Alan wanted to tell Bob-'
bie Sanderson something he did not
Cwish her to hear, why, then, the soon-
er,jae had the opportunity the better.
�i'hen Sanderson came back from
closing fie door on Judy, he was not
in the least surprised at the words
which fell on his ears.
"There's been a fresh ruction be-
tween Stair and The Lees, Bobbie.
Peter and I have been in grips."
"Already?" said Bobbie Sanderson,'
with uplifted brows.
He knew more of the inner affairs
of Stair than most men, for being
completely trusted by the old' .laird
and his daughter, he had heard many
scraps of conversation, and same di-
rect statements, which had consider-
ably enlightened him. But Bobbie
Sanderson, who had half the secrets
of a county at: his finger ends, had
never been known to betray the small-
est confidence, nor turn over a word
