- Roger Nlarobbanks dwelt on a hilltop.
She who had °ace been Alice his daught r
i
abode with hee three children in the vall y
at the hi'..1's feet. And there was • hitt' r
anger betWeen them twain.For once,Aliee
Marchbanks had -been as the 'spike of Iree
father's eye, and as he went about liliS,
scanty properties he had drawn his coat' f
gray horr eepun more closely about him h
order thet his Alice . might be arrayed ii
garments( 'of the newest and the best, cit
after a feishion all undreamed of in the val-
• ley of th Dee.
" And at the first call of the stranger she
left me, tthe first whistle. of Ws pipe left

As h_epolee thus to himself, ' Rog r

of it deleed , a series of little wells, int
which the ' spring showers fell and fille
them fell. ' • . •
--
Roger Marenbanks had been all his life
stern, unworldly man of the shnplest n
tare- As a mi dle-aged man, he had spent
all hisma.ffection upon-_ the young wife wh
had not long et tlivedthe birth of her firs
child. And en re recently, as he grew 01
he had watched his daughter shoot up lik
a tender-. plant by his muirland fireside.
He was a Caineronian, ' and high in th
esteem of the-faithful—a man whollyawith
out guile, and slow•to suspect it in others
even in members of the Establishment
Still less was it likely that Roger Marchil-
banks would watch suspiciously a fellow,.
elder of the elect folk. It was in this way
that sleek Doctor James Tod, the orthodot
.,
physician of Cairn Edward, .desiring to set
up a carriage and build a house (as well as
to • obtain money for other purposes lose
patent to the public) urged it upon Roger
Marchbanks, of Lochryan, to set his name
to certain documents written upon stamped
paper. It was,a fdrm—nothing more, he
told him. And lbetween the diets of wor-
ship one Monday, after communion Roger
Wrote his name twice, and immediaeely for-
got all about it. i
"Honor the physician," he said, as he
laid down the ;pen,' gravely, "with that.
h000r which:is due onto him bee use of ne,
°essay ; for the Lord hath createi1 him."
"Amen!" said Jas. Tod, sancti ioaiously,
for he thought' that the words ame frone
Holy Writ. •As indeed they d d, though
not from the portion of that"Writ included
between the boards of his Bible. -
But if the Lord e,
had created J' mes Tod,
the devil had certainly taken him in hapd
shortly after, and never again removed his
power far from him.
For, suddenly,• with the flaming exposure
of an 'evil life, deuble as a serpen 'sAongue,
/
James Tod disappeared, and with him most
of Roeer Marchbank's fair patriMthey. • The
old" ebonnet laird" saw the. fields passl
from him, concerning which his father had
spoken words solemn as a' National Leagde
to him : 1 i le:
undred yeats have they been i
of the Marchbanks. Keen the'
" Six h
the hold
for your children like a covena t of t
Lord."
So into the breast of the old, ma thei e
entered such it hatred of James Tod and a 1
his works that his black prayer fo the d.
struction .of the accursed stock c me b

and lass, linki g together lightfootecl on th

of one of them had reft from the father o
the other. Allan Tod had, to the know
ledge of all, had no part in his father'ini
quity. But Roger Marchbanks, as inigh
have been foretold of him, cursed the ymin
pair with the ,Carneronian equivalent fo
.bell, book and candle. -
But Allan and Allie had expected nethin
better. Allan Tod had nothing for it
to set up as a solicitor in email town, her
already there were lawyers to spare. And
for seven years he Icept his head Well up in
the anequal Struggle. For his father's , ill
name and his wife's ill health both weighed
upon him.
' He comes o' -a bad stock," said the
cautious folk of the Ferrytown
N twithstanding all this,. when Allan
Tod tlied, in the eighth year of -their mar-
riage, he left Allie Marchbanks and her
three bairns none so ill provided for. There
was an insurance on his own life, which
oft times it had gone hard with him to
pay. There was the house he had built in
the Ferrytown, and (6, last remnantof his
father's holdings) there was the .little cot-
tage of Craiglee, on the verge of the prop-
erty Of Lochryan, underneath the hiliL at
the top of which Roger Marchb nks
dwelt.
It w s to the latter that Allie retired. She
could leasily dispose of the red free tone
house near the railway station of the F rry-
town, for, luckily, houses of that size &o-
pened 10 be scarce that year. So to C aig-
lee', tho whitewashed cottage under the
shaggybrow of Cairn Ryan, Allie went and
nestledelown with her brood of three.
The first night, after Miriam and Gr
and little Rob had all been long laid d
to sleep, the young widow went he
quietly to a 'window that gave upo
hill. It w as at the corner of the child
gor

the

sleeping room, and she listened intently for
their bieathings, as only a mother does, be:
fore she entered. But as she came half-
way acress the floor, she saw something at
the widow which made her heart spring
twithin Peer. A small, white -robed figure
was kneeling - on ; a chair. Alli e March -
banks 1tid her hand on her side, end stop-
ped witi a short, gasping indraw of her
breath.
• 1 "Mother a" sold the figure ati the win-
dow. And iii a moment Allis t e widow
-w s herself again. She had thought for a
m ment that the white -sheeted flgare might
rtend some ill to her treasure's.
" Miriam," she said " what are you, do -
in there? Why are you not in bed !"
" Mother," said the little lass, 1` there is

again the daughter of Roger Ma chbanks,
the Cerneronian. For that wee the light in
her father's sitting room window. And
even as she looked the shining light went
down to a pin -point. It was her father
"taking the book " up at Loehryan. When
he had done with the reading of Scripture,
and ere he kneeled to begin the prayer of
• intercession, very reverently it wee his cus-
tom to turn the lamp low. Those who knew
not the -spirit of the man and of the people
might have supposed that the 'thing was
done from motives 'of economy. Bu t, the
wiser knew that it was a pert of the Came:-
onian worship, and betokened the chastened

So, even as Ali looked, the • light went
down. And she rad- the meaning of it, as
Well as if she 1ad been up there. Her
father's silver -rimmed spectacles were lying

Was kneeling at h s great oaken ehair in

pray no real praye ' that night, for the for-

And her mother pr yed..long and quietly by
her lide. Metentin e, up in the bowie on the
hill, Roger .March anks thought a long time
on his daughter ert he took his lonely can-
dle ij.ncl paced st rnly along the echoing
passages to his room. But 'yet awhile his -
heart was hardened until it should be the
thne of the latter rein.
The next day Al ie was -walking along the
woodland paths near 6he top of the hill, and
for a while she stood wistfully by the open
gate through which the road led to the
house of Lochryan. ; IG was an old gate,bnce
painted blue, and she knew' exactly the

swung too far back on it, Gregor !and lit-
tle BOli ran here an thereby her side, tod-
dling and pulling f owers.. But lightfooted
Miriam scoured t e woods in search of
rarer'blossoms-a,nd ilder adventures.
As Allie Marchb nks stood regarding, her
father, came stridin solemnly up a by-path
to the blue gate, an , without a word or a
look, be shut it he 1 er face: Then , e turn-
ed away towards t1 e house of Lochryan,

that he had see hi only child. . --
But erd he had g ne a dozen yards,he met
little Miriam cc in , flashing like a winged
fairy along the suni t spaces.
" See, mother.,' he was.crying, " I have
found the Beautlul Flower that you love."
At sight of the ta11, stern, grey -headed man
with the blue coat and the loured buttons '
upon it, sbes stopped short. Also elle saw
in a moment th.t the gate was shut. But
it was not Miii in's way ,to be . afraid of
