ea it, 1:1, fact. His dreary surroundings
. were in keeping With his state of mind.
. That was dreary and low enough, for he
felt as if he had really nothing left in
. the werld to live for or care about. He
was only an atom of humanity, a soli-
• tary human being, of nointerest or use
to anybody in the wide world. When
'a man becoraeseotivinced of that, he is
generally rather indifferent to the minor
. accessories of life. He threw down his
books, cast his wet peat in a heap on
the Stony hairoloth 'Couch, took off his
boots, and began in a listless, uninter-
ested sort of way to try and make the
flee burn. After - some time he was
rewarded by seeing a •sickly blue flaine
leap up between two lumps of coal --an
uncertain flickering irort of flame, which
, did not appear to knew whether it was
its duty to spread or disappear. It
. . thought better of it, however, for it
caught at the other side of a tiny pied°
of wood still smouldering, and in a few
minutes quite a cheerful effect was pro-
• duced by their combined efforts. Then
Frank drew in the easy -chair, if it might
-, so be called, and threw himself into it.
-in the hope that some . genial -warmth.
mightthaW his chilledfeet and limbs.
As he leaned back in the chair, his face
, initet repose seemed thinner and more
worn than -of yore, and there Were .some
sad, stern curves about the resolute,
manly Mouth which. had not- always
been there. He put his finger-tips to-
gether, and, resting his forehead on his
palms, fell to thinking once more of
what was scarcely ever absent from his
• mind night nor day. When the blow
fell so a dderily upon him, when that
brief col epistle killed -for ever the
greatest hope of his life, he had sworn
that ha ouldjorget, that he would put
• away fdrever all thoughts of Maggie
Dempster from his heart—a, resolution
easily made. but not quite so easily
kept. For the sweet, dear face, the
%earnest, true eyes, the winning, smile,
; would haunt him; hindering his .work,
-
torturing him in season and out ofsoa-
• son,makinghis life an intolerable bur.
.den.
• "Fact is," he `said to himself that
night, " this can't go on., There is
nothing tfor it but. to get out of
this place. -There isn't . 4 street

alive by adingiteaosaionally, not that
he was likely to forget ita contents ; but
it gave hi n a sort of grim satisfaction
just to reed and re read -the words Mag-

In the dingy sittingroom of his lotig.
ings in Montague Street sat Frank
Mecleod on a dreary February' after-
noon,
It had rained all day, and it was rain-
ing still. A min enveloped the slopes
of Arthur's Seat and hudg low over the
town, making queer circles round the
gas letups, which were lighted already,
though it was only four o'clock.
Frank had tredged home from the
University that afternoon without over-
coat or umbrella, and he was drenclabd
" to the skin„ The. 'fire in the sitting -
room was but newly lighted, and there
was no appearance of his dinner on the
table.' The whole place was cold and
uncomfortable in the extreme, but
Pre.n14. did not mind. He rather enjoy-

That was alt. Brief, concise enough,
• beyond a doubt ; and yet there seemed
to Frank 0 times that there was an
un-
der curreut of -rnyetery, something
which he could not read between the
lines of that strange letter. • He had
obeyed itsiinj unctions to the very letter.
He had neither answered it, nor enter-
tained for a. moment, any thought of
creasing the Firth to seek a personal
explanation. When a woman gave him
his dismiseal, he knew how to accept it.
She !thou/4 not have the satisfaction of
knowing* what way it affected him.
But it had cut very deep, for all that.
He had loved her so truly and devoted.
-ly ; she had been so long the star of his
existence, his bright incentive to the
worthiest effort, that it' was a. hard
Struggle td realize that she was lost to
. him for ever. He hed walked almost
like a mania a dream since that dull
January morning when the blow had
fallen upon his happy heart. As the
,days went by, however, he began to
face the thing, and to look at the future
in which the woman he loved could have
no place. It was dreary work, and the
young fellow may be forgiven if at
times -he thought elife scarcely worth
living at all. ,
He folded the letter again, hesi-
tated a moment whelher to drop it into
the crackling fire, and then returned it;
to his pocket -book, and rose from his
chair, wondering whether the landlady
had fallen' asleep cooking his dinner.
Just than the bell rang with that
tremendous force peculiar to the pest-
nian's handling, and shortly the land-
lady cameibuptling in with a letter..
"Your dinner'll just be ben this very
minute, Mr. Macleod," elle said &polo-
, geticially.„ "I had to go out to see my
sister at Cenonmills, and Kate forgot to
look after the things. Here's your let-
ter, sir." ,
"Ali right, Mrs.. Donald said - the

then with hasty fingers broke the seal.

enigmatical enough. *-

"Not if I know it !" exclaimed:Frenit,
a hot flush of indiguation mounting to
his brow. "Does she think I'm a pup!:
pet to go or stay at her pleasure? She
must learn that I'm made of different
stuff's" • •
So saying, Frank rang the bell 'furi-
ously, Just to relieve his mind, and de-
manded -his dinner to be served instant-
ly. Poor Mrs.- Donald flew. into a
consternation, and rushed off to the
kitchen to expedite matters, wondering
all -the tithe what could have happened
to throw her lodger Into such an.un—
wonted temper. temper. While she was bust-
ling in and out of thrroom, Frank sat
down atthe aribdow,Ntnd opening one
of his class -books attempted to fix his
mind on his notes. But in Vain. His
thoughts would flee to Drunikeillour,
would seek to unravel the mystery
which Seemed to be going on there, and
at last he threw downthe book, and the
next moment was studying that page of
Murray's Time -table which gives infore
