Ranald felt as if he had awakened out of a terrible nightmare and . fol- lowed his uncle into the.house, with a happier heart titan he had known since he had received Yankee's letter. As they entered the room where the people were gathered, Donald Ross was reading the hundred and third psalm, and the words of love and pity and sympathy were groping from his kindly lips like healing balm upon the 1 mourning hearts, and as they rose and fell upon the cadences of "Coleshill," the tune Straight Roryalways chose for his psalm, the healing sank doyn into all the sores pieces, and the peace - that passeth: understanding_ began to take possession of them. Softly and sweetly they sang; the Old women swaying -with the music: "For, as the heaven in its height The earth surneemtetb far, So great to those that do hint. fear His tender mercies are," When theyreached that vers®, the mother took up the song and went bravely on through the words of the following _ verse: . "As far as east is distant from The west, so far bath he From us removed, in his love, All our iniquity." As she sang the last words, her band -stole, over to Bella. who sat be side her quiet but tearless, looking far away;. But when the next words rose on the dear old minor strains, "Such pity as a father hath Unto his children .dear," Bella'slipbegan to -tremble,' and two big' tears ran down her pale cheeks, and one could see that the ore pain in `her heart bad been . a little eased. After Donald Ross had finished his part of the "exercises" he called upon Kenny Crubaeh who read briefly. and 'without comment the exquisite Scot- tish„ paraphrase of Luter's '"little gospel": • ClillidiT011101* FOR FLERIMISS CACATORIA • Ail this time Peter -McRae, the man of iron, had been sitting with harden- ing face, his eyes burningin his head like glowing coals; and when Donald Ross called upon him for "some words of exhortation and comfort suitable. to the occasion," without haste and without hesitation the old Man rose, trembling with excitement and em- otion:, he began abruptly: "An evil spirit has been whispering to me, as to the prophet of old, 'Speak that which is good,' but the Lord hath 'de- livered me from mine enemy, and niy answer is, `As the Lord liveth, what the Lord said unto me, that will I speak; and it is not easy."

The poor mother sat looking" at him with the look of one shrinknig from a blow, while Bella. Peter's face expressed only startled fear. "And this is= the word of the Lord this night -to ine,"the elder went on, his voice losing its tremor and ringing out strong and clear: " `There is none righteous, no not one, for all 'have sinnedl and cone short of the glory of God. He that believeth shall be saved and he that believeth not shall be .damned. That is 'my messa e n andislaidu itme g na as sore burden to hear the voice of the Lord' in this solemn Profidence. and to warn one and all to ilee from the wrath to come." He paused long, while men could hear their hearts beet. Then, raising his voice, he cried loud: "Woe is noel Alasl- it is a grievous burden . ' Tie Lord pity us all and give grace to this stricken family to kiss the red that smites." At this word the old man• s voice' suddenly broke and he sat down amid 'an awful silence. No one could mis- understand his meaning`. As the aw- ful w-ful horror of it gradually made its way into her nand, Mrs. Cameron threw up„her apron over her head and rocked in -an agony of sobs, while Long John sat with face white and rigid. Bella Peter, who had been gaz- ing with a fascinated stare upon the old elder's face while he was speak- ing his terrible words, startl&d be` Mrs. Cameron's sobs, suddenly looked wildly 'about ps if for help, and then, with a wild cry, fled toward the door. But before she had reached it a strong hand caught her and a great voice, deep and tender, commanded her: "Wait, lassie, sit down here a meen- ute." It was Macdonald Bhain. He stud a short space silent before the people, then, in a low voice, deep, and thrilling, he began: "You have been hearing the word of the Lord through the lips of his servant, and I ant not saying but it is the true word; but I believe that the Lord will be speaking by different voices and although I hey not the gift, yet it is laid upon me to declare what is in my heart, and a sore heart it is, ,and sore hearts have we all. But I will be thinking of a eel, ingl st ruin_ me eutg4 hese£ Lin. came to call, not the, righteous, but sinners,' and that in. His clay' many sinners came about Rim and not one would He turn away. And I will be rer embring a fery great sinner `who cried out in his dying hour, `Lord, re- member me,' and -:;hot in vain. And I'm thinking that the Lord will be making it easy for men to be saved, and not hard, for He was that anxios about it that He gave up His own life. But it is not given me to argue, only to tell you what I know about the lad who is lying yonder silent.- It will be three years since he will be coming on the shanties with me, and from the day that he left his mother's door, till he came back again, never once did he fail me in his duty in the camp, or on the river, or in the town, where it was fery easy to be forget- ting. And the boys would be telling me of the times that he would be keeping them. out of those places. And it is not soon that Dennie Ross will be forgetting who it was that took him back from the camp when the disease was upon him and all were afraid to go near him, and for seex weeks, by day and by night, watched by him and was not thinking of him- self at alI And sure alm 1 that the lessons he would -be hearing from his mother and in the Bible class and in the church were not lost on him what- ever. For on the river, when the wa- ter was quiet and I would be lying in the tent reading, it is often that Mack 2ameron would come in and listen to the Word. Aye, he was a goad lad" —the great voice shook a little— "he would not be thinking of himself, and at the last, it was for another rnan he gave his life.." Macdonald.. stood for a. few moments silent, his face working while he struggled with himself. - And then all at once he grew calm, and throwing back his head, lie looked through the door, and pointing into the darkness, said: "And yonder is the lad, end With him • a great company, and his face is smiling, and oh! it is a good ' land, a good land!" His voice drop- ped to a whisper, and he sank iirto his seat. "God preserve us" Kenny Cru- bach ejaculated; but old Donald Ross rose and said, "Let us call upon the name of the Lord." Fromhis prayer it•was quite evident that for him at least all doubts and fears as to poor Mack's stete were removed. And ev- en Peter McRae, subdued not so much by any argument of Macdonald Bhain's as by his rapt. vision, followed old Donalds prayer with broken words of hope and thanksgiving; and it was Peter .who was at the manse next morning to repeat to the minister the things he had seen and heard the night before. And all next day,where there had been- the horror of unnam- able fear, hope and peace prevailed. The service was held under the trees and while the mother and Bella Peter sat softly weeping, there was no bit- terness in their tears, for the sermon breathed of the immortal hope, and the hearts of all were comforted. There was no parade of grief, but after the sermon was over the people filed quietly through the room to take the last look, and then the family, with Bella and her father, were •left alone e few moments with their dead, while the Macdonald men kept guard at -the door till the thee for "the lift- ing" would -come. After Long John passed out,- fol - to wed by the family, Macdonald Bhain entered the room, cloned the lid down upon the dead face, and gave the com- mand to bear him forth. So, with solenrn dignity, as befitted them, they carried Big Mack from his home to linrgquhar MacNaughton's light wagon. Along the concession road, past the new church, through the swamp, and on to the old church- yard the long procession slowly mov- ed. There was no unseemly haste, and by theime the last words were spoken, and the mound decently rounded the long shadows from the woods lay far across the fields. Quiet- ly the people went their ways home - W rd, back to' their life and work, but for many days they carried with them the mernory of those funeral scenes. And Ranald, though he cane back from Big Mack's grave troubled with questions that refused to be =fswer- ed, still carried with him a heart 'heal- ed of the, pain that had torn in these last days. He believed it was well with his friend,but about many things he was sorely perplexed, and it was this that brought him again to the minister's wife. CHAPTER XII.

His . fa- ther, though going about the house, was still weak, and worse than all was/fretting in his Weakness . He was oppressed with the terrible fear that he would never again be able to do a man's work, and Ranald knew from the dark look in his father's face that' day and 'night the desire for ,vengeance was gnawing at his heart, and Renard also knew something of the bitternesss of this desire from the fierce longing that lay deep in his own. Some day, when his fingers would be feeling for Le .141r's throat, he would drink long and fully that sweet , draught of vengeance. He knew too that it added to the bitterness in his father's heart to know that in the spring's work that every warm -day was bringing nearer, he could take no part; and that was partly the cause of Ranald's gloom,.

As he was putting the finishing touches upon Lisette's satin skin, Yan- kee drove up to the yard with his Fox horse and buckboard. His box was strapped on behind and his blankets rolled up in a bundle, filled the seat beside hire. "Mornin'," n he called to Ranald. "Purty fine shine, that, and - Ply fine mare all round," he continued walk- ing about Lisette and noting admir- ingly her beautiful proportions. "Purty line beast," he said, in a low tone, running his hands down her legs. "Guess •you- wouldn't care to part with that mare?" "No," said Ranald, shortly; but as he spoke his heart sank within. bini. "Ought to fetch a fairly goad fig- ure, ,continued Yankee, meditative- ly. eed tative-ly. "Le's see.

"Take her down in the yard yonder," he said to Ranald, Ranald threw the halter over lis- ette's neck, sprang on her back and sent her down the lane at a good smart pace. At the bottom of the lane he wheeled her, and riding low upon her rick, came back to the barn like a whirlwind. "By jings " exclaimed Yankee, , surprised out of his lazy drawl; "she's got it, you bet your last brick. See here, boy, there's money into that awe real. Thought I would like to havd her for my bu_ ekboard, but I have got an onfortunit conscience that won't let me do up any partner, so 1 guest I can't make any offer," Ranald stood beside Lisette, his artri thrown over her beautiful neek, and his hand fondling her gently about the ears. "I will not sell her." Hia voice was low and fierce, and all the more so because he knew that was just what he would do, and his hearil was sick with the pain oftbo thought. t.
