A considerable wind arose during led up with a demure smile. "They
the night; Mr. 'Hodson did not sleep would be keeping the' New Year at
.very well; and, lying awake towards
morning, he came to the conclusion
that he had 'been befooled, or rather
that he had befooled himself, with
regard to that prodigy of a game -
;keeper. He argued with himself that
his mental faculties must have been
dulled by the 'long dray's travel; be
had come into the inn jaded and tired;
and then ;finding himself face face to face
with an ordinarily alert and intrepid
intellect, he had no doubt exaggerat-
ed the young man's abilities, and
made a wonder of him where no
wonder was needed. That he was a
person of considerable information
and showed common sense was likely
enough. tMr. Hodson, -in his studies
of men and things, had heard some-
thing of the intelligence and educa-
tion to be found among the working
classes in Scotland. IHe had heard of
the band -loom weavers who were
learned botanists; of rhe stonemasons
who were great geologists; of the
'village poets who, if most of their ef-
forts were but imitations of (Fergus-
on and Bunts and Tannahill, would.
here and there, in some chance mo-
ment of inspiration, sing out some
true and pathetic song, to be taken to
the • hearts of their countrymen. and
added to a treasure -store of rustic
minstrelsy ,such as no other nation in
the world has ever produced, .At the
same time he was rather anxious to
meet Strang again, the better to get
the measure of him. 'And as he was
also curious to .see what this neigh-
borhood into which he had ,penetrat-
ed looked like. he rose betimes in the
'morning—indeed, before the day was
fully declared.
The wind All moaned about the
house. but outside there was 'no sign
of any storm: on the contrary, every-
thing was strangely still. The lake
lay a dark lurid purple in the hollow
of the encircling hills; and these, al-
one the eastern heavens, were of the
deepest- and softest olive green: just
over them teas a line of 'gleaming sal-
mon -red, keen and resplendent as if
molten from a furnace; and over that
again soft -affron-dusky clouds, dar-
kening in true the higher they hung
in the clear pale steel hue- of the ov-
er -head :sky-. •There was no sign of
lair
anywhere—nothing but the birch
woods sloping down to tate shore: the
moorland wastes of the lower hills;
and above these tate ,giant bulk and
solemn shad;ews of lien Clebria dark
against -the dawn. It was a ',owely
sight; he began go think lie had Ile y-
er before in his life felt hint•a f so
much alone. But whence cant tl
st,t:d ‘,1 the win,! that 'cni,d t:
nx,anin_ down the strath toward- the
purple lake?
Well he made no doubt that it was
op towards the north and west that
the storm was 'brewing; and he re-
ntemhered that a -window in the sit-
ting -room 'beinw looked in that dir-
ection: there lie would be able to as-
certain whether any 'fishing was prac-
ticable. He 'finished his dressing- and
went down: The breakfast table was
laid: a mighty mass of peat- was bla-
zing in the spacious ilreplace, And the
storm? Why, all the wide strath on
this northern side of the shouse was
one glow of yellow light in the now
:spreading sunrise; and still further
away in ,the north the great shoulders
'of Ben :Loyal had catight a faint rose-
ate tinge; and the same pale and
beautiful color seemed to transfuse a
large and fleecy cloud that clung ar-
ound the snow -scarred peak. So he
came to the conclusion that in this
corner of .the glen the wind 'said more
than it meant; and that they might
adventure on the loch without risk of
being swamped or blown ashore.
The slim, tall Highland lass made
Wer appearance with - further plenish-
in•gs for the table, and ''!Good ntoa.rn-
ingl" she said, in :her pretty way; in
answer to his ',greeting,
"Say, now, has that man come
drown from 'tongue yet?"
''No, sir, said Nelly, "'he -w
"'The lion?" the gillie said, .with an
angry look towards the hapless cable,
'She has the worst luck of any boat
in 'Sutherland --(tam her1" he added,
t'nder his (breath.
"In my country," the American
said, in his slow way, ',we don't mind
luck much; we ,find iperscveranee ab-
out as good a horse to win in the
end,"
He was soon to have his persever-
ance tried. Everything being ready
hey pushed off from the shore, Ron-
a1d taking stroke oar, the gillie at the
bow; Mr. Hodson left to pay out the
Ines of the two rods, and 'fix 'these in
the stern, when about five -and -thirty
yards had gone forth, At first, it is
true, he waited and watched with .a
trifle of anxiety. He wasted to catch
a salmon; it would be something to
write about to his daughter; it would
be a new experience for himself. But
when time passed and the boat was
slowly rowed along the loch at a mea-
sured distance from the shore, with-
out any touch of anything coating to
snake the point of either rod tremble,
he rather gave up his hope in that dir-
ection, and took to talki'n'g with 'Ron-
ald, After all, it was not salmon -fish-
ing alone that had brought thins into
these wilds,
suppose it is really too early in
the season," he observed, without
much chagrin,
'IRayther," said 'Ronald.
"Rawther," said rhe melancholy
gillie.
But at that instant something hap-
pened that staneled every one of them
out of their apathy. The top of one of
the rods was violently .pulled at, and
then there was a long, shrill yell of
the reel.
"There he is, sir! there he is, sirl"'
Ronald called,
:Mr. Hodson made a grab, blindly—
for he had ,been looking at the scen-
ery around—at one of the rods. It
was the wrong one. But before he
knew where he was, Ronald had got
hold of the other and raised the top
so as to keep a strain on the ;fish. The
exchange of the rods was effected in
a moment. 'Then when Ronald had
wound in the other line and put the
rod at the bort', he took to his oar
again, leaving Mr. Hodson to 'fight
his unknown enemy as best he aright,
but giving hint a few words of direc-
tion from time to time, quietly, as .if
it were all a matter of course,
"Reel in, sir, reel in—keep an even
strain on hint—let him go --let him go
if he wants---"
Well, the fish was not a tierce fight-
er; after the first long rush he scarce-
ly did anything; he kept hnring
downwards, with a (lull, heavy
weight. ft seemed easy work; and
\d r. ,Hodson --triumphant in the .hope
of catching his first salmon—saris
tempted to call aloud to the melanch-
oly gillie—
"Well, Duncan, how about luck
now?"
"1 thindc's it's a kelt," the' man an-
swered morosely.
But the sinister meaning of this
reply was not nnderstood.
"l don't know what you call ,hint,"
said Ili r, Hodson, holding on with
both hands to the long, lithe grilse -
rod that was bent almost double.
"'Celt or Saxon, I don't know; bit I
seem to have got a good grip of
hits."
';'hen he heard Ronald say, in an
undertone, to the gillie—
'IA kelt? ,No fears, The first rush
was too heavy for that"
:list the gillie responded, sullenly -
"He's following the boat like a
Tongue last night"
"Keeping the New Year on the
414th of ;January?"
"It's the twelfth is the usual day,
sire," she explained, "but that was
Saturday, and they do etot like a Sa-
turday night, for they have to stop a
twelve o'clock, and so most of them
were for 'keeping it lasit night."
"Oh, indeed. Then the festive gen-
tleman won't show up today?"
"".But it is of no matter w=hateffer
whether he comes or no; for I ant
sure that Ronald will be 'willing to
lend a hand, 01,, I ant sure of it, I
will ask him myself."
'You will ask him?" was Mr. Hod -
son's internal soliloquy. '"`1 t is to yot
he will grant the favor, Indeed!"
He fixed his eyes on her,
"'He is a good-looking tyoung fel
low, that 'Ronald,"
She did not answer that; she wa
nutting the marmalade, and the hon
ey and the cream on the table.
"He is not married?"
"No, sir,'
"Well. now, when he thinks abou
getting married, I suppose he'll .pret
ty well have his choice about here?'
"Indeed there iss others beside

her face was red as she opened the
door.

intervention of Nelly or not, as soon
as -\:Ir. Hodson was ready to start be
found Ronald waiting for hint with-
out; and not only that, hot he had al-
ready as:si nied command of the ex-
pedition, having sent 'tate one gillie

tackle -maker, for two 00 three of the
familiar phantom minnows, \Ir. Hod-
son could .scarcely believe than this
was the sante man who trot night had
been discussing the disestablishment
of state churches and the policy of
protecting native industries. He had
not a word for anything ,but the busi-
ness•. before ,hint; and the bold fash-
ion in which he handled those min-
nows, all 'bristling with hooks, or
drew the catgut trace: through his

cut to the bone), .showed that he was
as familiar with the loch as with the
hillside or the kennel.

'At retttti early in the season, sir,

we. night get a lids atter all; and if
tee do it'll be the tfirst caught in Scot-
land this year, I warrant,"
'I'lter set ,art and walked clown to
the shore ,,f the loch; and there Mr.
Hodson seated himself on the gun-
wale of the flat-bottomed cable, and
,watched the two men putting the
roils together and fixing the traces.
The 'day had now declared itself; wild
and stormy in appearance, but fair
on tate whole; great floodsofsunshine
falling suddenly on the yellow Slopes
across the far heights of Clehrig,
steeping the tuvmrtaintt in glonnc. As
for gillie who had been proof against
the seductions of keeping the New
Year, and- who was now down on one
knee, 'biting catgut with his teeth, he
was a ratan as tall and as sallow as
Mr. :Horison himself, but twirls an ad-
ded expression of intense melancholy
and hopelessness. Or was that but
temporary?
"Duncan doesna like that boat,"
Ronald said, glancing at Mr, (Hodson.

but shook his head .gloomily,
