"I am going away," he said, sim-
ply. "And I was just Passing bate-

"Oh, Ranald," she died, "I ara glad

The boy looked at her as if she
had started a new idea in his mind,
ead then said, "I do not know.'
"Mid Whatare you going to do,
Ranald?"
"Work. Thete is plenty to do,
No fear of that."
"But your -father, .Ranald?"
The boy was silent for a little, and
then said, "He will soon he well, and

'Said about the disturbance. Bu t af-
ter 'the evening worship, when the
minitser had gone to his study for a
smoke, Hughie, Who hgtd 1fd the
whole story from Don, `told it to his
mother and Maimie in his most gra-
phic manner.
"It Was not RanEdd's fault mother,"
he declared. "You know Peter would
not let him atone, and Reread hoe=hene
in the _nose, ' and sereed him right,:
too. But they made it all up again,
when that Aleck McRae pulled &m-
aid back, and Ronald did not want to
figeht at all, but he .called Ranald a
liar, and he could not help it,, but
Justhit him.'
"Who hit who?" said Maimie.
'You're not making it very clear,
Hughie.'
"Why, Ranald, of course, hit Aleck,
and knocked him over too" said Hugh-
ieseeith much satisfaction; "and then
Aleck -he is an awful fighter, • you
know -jumped on Ranald and was
pounding him just awful, the great
big brute when out came papa. He
stepped up and caught Alnele by the
neck and shook him just like d baby,
saying, all the time, 'Would ye? I
will tegteh you to fight on the Sabbath
day!. Herelain with you, every one
of you! and re threw hira nearly -into

Ranald went, but he is pretty badly
hurted, 1 env sure. That great big
Aleck McRae is old- enough to be his
father, Wasn't it mean of him, mo-
ther?"
Poor Hughie was-ahnost, in tears
and his mother, who sat listening too
eagerly to correct her little boy's
ethics or grammar, was as nearly ov-
ercome as she. She. wished she knew
where Ranald was. He had not ap-
peared at the evening Bible class, and
Murdie Ilea reported that he could not
find him' anywhere. ,
She put Hughie to bed, and then
saw Maimie to her room. But Maimie
was very 'unwilling to go to bed.
"Oh auntie," she whispered, as her
aunt kieseeher good night, "I can-
not go to sleep!", And ;then, after a
pause, she said -shyly, "Do you think
• he is badly hurt," .
Then the minister's wife looking
keenly into the girl's faee, made light
of Ranald's misfortuhe; •
"Oh, he will be all right," she said,
as far as his hurt is concerned. That
is the least part of his trouble. You
need not worry about .that. Good
night, ally. dear.' And Maimie, re-
lieved by her aunts lone; said, "good
night". with her heart at rest.
• Then Mrs. Murray went into the
study ,determined to find out what
had passed betweelieher• husband and
Ranald. She, found him`lying on his
couch, luxuriating in the satisfaction
of a good day's work behind line and
his first/ Pipe nearly done. • She at
once ventured upon the thing that lay
heave upon her heart. She began
by telling -all she knew of the trouble
from, its beginning in the church, and
then 'waited for her husband's storv.
For some moments he lay silent-
ly , smoking .
• Ah, well," he said, at length, knock-
ing out his pipe, 'perhaps I was a lit-
tle severe with the lad. He may not
have been so much to blame."
"Oh papa! What did you do?" said
his wife,..in an anxious voice.
"Well," • said the minister, hesitat-
ing, "I found that the young rascal
had struck Aleck McRae first. and a
pretty bad blow it was. So I ad-
ministered a pretty severe rebuke and
sent him home."
"Ob, what a shame?" scried his
wife, in indignant tears. It was .
for more the fault of Peter and Aleek ,
and the rest. Poor Ranald!"
"Now, my dear," said the minister, .
"Aid, eklin yini Rined.?"
she said, looking nett; his des.
Again the boy stood silent.
"Why do you go away from your
lime and your. father, and -and --all
of us who dove you?"
"Indeed, there is no one," he re-
plied bitterly; "and I am not for de-
cent people. I am not for decent peer
ple. I.know that well enough. There
is no one that will care much."
"No one, Ranald?" she asked, sad-
ly. "I thought-" she pa'used, looking
into his face.
Suddenly the boy turned to her, and
putting .out both his hands,burst forth,'
his voice coming in ry sobs: "Oh,
yes, yes! I do believe ou. I do be-
lieve you. And this
this way. I wanted t
again before I went. t
er forget you! 'Never, n
glad I a,m seeing you, f
Isnow--hoin much-" The boy was un-
able to proceed. His sobs were shak-
ing his whole frame, and to his shy
Highland Scotch nature i words of
love and admiration weref not easy.
"You will not be sending me back
honie again?" he pleaded, anticipating
her. "Indeed I can not stay in this
place after to -day."
But the minister's wife kept her
eyes steadily upon his face witaout
a. word, trying in vain to find' her
voice, and the right words to say. She
had no needs of Words, for in her
face, pale, wet with flowing tears and
illuirdned with her gray -brown eyes,
Ranald read her heart.
"Oh!" he cried again :',"you, are
wanting me to stay, and I will be a• -
shamed before them an, and the min-
ister, too: I cannot stay. I cannot
stay."
"And I cannot let you go, Ranald,
my boy," she said, commanding her
voice .to speech. I wapt you to be a
brave inan. I don't want you to be
afraid of . them."
"Afraid of them!" said the boy,
in scornful surprise. "Not if they
were twice as more and twice as
beeg."
Mrs. Murray saw her advantage,
and followed it up.
"And the minister did not know the
whole truth, Ranald, and he was sor-
ry he spoke to you as he did."
"Did he say that," said Ranald, in
surprise. It was to him, as to any
one in that community, a terrible
thing to fall under the displeasure of
the minister and to be disgraced in

CHAPTER X.
The Home -Coming of the Shantymen.
For some weeks Ranald was not seen
by anyone belonging. to the manse.
Hughie reported thatt he was not at
church -nor at Bible class, and al-
though this was not in itself an ex-
traordinary thing, still Mrs. Murray
was uneasy, and Hughie felt that
church, was a great disappointment
when Ranald was not there.
• In their visits to Macdonald Dubli
the minister and his wife never could
see Ronald, His Aunt Kirsty could
not undersand or explain his reluc-
tance to attend the public services,
nor his unwillingness to appear in the
house on the occasion of the minis-
ter's visits. "He is busy 'with the
fences and about the stables prepar-
ing for the spring work," sne said;
"but indeed, he is very queer whatev-
er and I cannot make him out at all
Macdonald Dubh hiMeelf said noteing.
But the books and magazines brought
by the minister's wife were always
read. "Indeed when once he gets
down to his book," his aunt complain-
ed, neither his bed nor his dinner
will move him."
The minister thought little of the
boy's "vagaries" but to his wife came
many an anxious thought about Ranald
and his doings. She was more dis-
appointed than she cared to confess,
even to herself that the boy seemed
to be quite indifferent to the steadily
deepening interest in spiritual things
that marked the members of her Bible
class.
While she was planning how to
reach him once more, an event occurr-
ed which brought him nearer to her
than he had ever been before. As
they were sitting one evening at tea,
the door unexpectedly opened, and
without announcement in walked Ran-
ald, splashed with bard riding. Pale
and dazed. Without a word of reply
to the greeting that met him from
all at the table, he went straight to
the minister's wife,handed her an op-
Iened letter, and stod waiting. It was
addressed to Ranald himself, and was
the first he had ever received in his
_ life. It was from Yankee Jim, and
read as follows: '

The minister's wife began reading
the letter, wondering not a Retie at
Ranald's manner, but when she came
to the words, "Mack Cameron ,get
drowned," she laidthe letter down
with a idle cry. Her husband came
quickly to her, took up the letter
and read it to the end.
"I will go at once," he said and rang
the bell. "Tell Lambert to put Black
in the buggy immediately, Jessie," he
said, when the /mid appeared. "Do
you think you oughtto go my dearV'
"les, yes, .1 shall be eeader in a
moment; but, oh, what can we do o
say?"
"Perhaps you had better not go.
It will be very trying," said the minis-
ter.
"Oh, yes, I must go. The poOr
mother!" Then she timed to Ranald
as the minister left the room. "You
are going home, Remold, I suppose,'
she said.
No, 1 wee ;thinking I would go to
tell the people. Donald Rosas will
go, end the Campbells, and Farqu-
har MeNaughton's light wagon would
be best -for the -for Mack. And then
I will go round by the McGregors."
Repaid had been thinking things out
and meldng his plans.
"But that will lbe a long .round for
you," said Mrs. Murray. 'Could not
we go by the Campbells and they wil
send 'word to Donald Ross?"
"I think it would be better for me
to go, to make sure of the teams."
"Very well, then. Good by, Ran -
aid," said the ministees wife, holding
out her hand to him.
But still Ranald lingered. "It will
be herd on Bella, Peter/' he said, in a
low voice looking out of the window.
"Bela Pte.? eBella MacGregor?"
"Yes," :said Re/laid, embaerassed
Mack was verr-fond of her, what-
ever."
"Oh, Rinald!" she -cried, "do you
say so? Axel you sure of that?"
"Yes, I 2.1/1 sure," said Ranald,
shnply. "The boys in the shanty
would be teshing Mack about. it, and
one day Mack told me something, and
I know 'quite well."
'I will go to her,' said Mrs. Mur-
ray.
"That will be very goed," said Ron-
ald, much relieved. "And I will be
going -with you that way."
As Mrs. Murray deft the room,
Maimie came around to where Ranald
was standing and said to him, gently,
"You know him quite well didn't you."
'Yes," replied 'Wield, in an indiff-
erent one as if unwilling to talk with
h'er about it.
• "And you were very fond of him?"
went on Maimie.
Ranald caught the tremor in her
voice and looked at her. 'Yes," he
said, with an effort. "He was good
to me in the camp. Many's the time
he made it easy for me. He was next
to Macdonald Bhain with the ax, and,
man, he was the grand. fighter -that
is," he added, adopting a phrase of
the Macdonald gang, "when it.was, a
plain necessity." Then'forgetting
himself' be begn to tell Mairnie how
Big Mck had borne himself in the
great fight a few weeks before. But
he had hardly began when he sudden-
ly stopped with a groan. "But now
