Mossknow seated himself, drew towards him a portifolio which lay upon the table, opened it, and drew forth a cheque book. "I will send her fifty pounds," he said. "You'll send her a hundred!" said Willie. "Come, man, be generous fov once. 'Tis for your own flesh and blood." "I tell you I cannot spare so much. Do you think I am made of money?' "I think you are made of granite, the nether millstone, and that every golden guinea ye give is like blood gotten out of a flint. But you'll give what I ask, for all that!" ¥hct laird hesitated, jen in hand! "To whom can I make the cheque payable? If I write her name here it will be flaunted before all the world." "Make it payable to me, the Rev. William Maagillvry, B. D., of Edinburgh University.' "You take me for a fool!" cried Mossknow, angrily. "No, no, laird I take ye for the fool's cousin germane—a knave! Write, write Mid sign." "How shall I know that you will not steal the money and spend it in drink?" "Because, knave tjio' you be, you ken an honest man when you see one. All the world kens Willie Macgillvray, who, though poor in the world's goods, is a preacher and a prophet, and never robbed a man or woman of a bawbee." "Weil, there!" cried Mossknow, filling up the check, "take that to to tile bank in the morning, and let Jessie Campbell havpjthe money."

Willie took the check in his hand and read aloud: "Pay to William Macgillvray, or "order, the sum of one hundred pounds. Signed, John Mossknow." "And now begone! But mind, if

I find you have misappropriated a penny of that money you shall rot in gaol for a thief."

Willie smiled curiously. "I'll risk it, laird. Understand that I accept this small sum only on account. It belongs to \our wife end son. If your wife lists to go to Canada 'tis maybe only for a time." "Away with you."

Willife moved toward the window, but paused there, looking out. "Ah, but it's a bonnie night," he said. "The heavens yonder are thick with stars and constellations and the moon's walking the aisles o' blue like a shining angel of Gcd. Be •varned in time Mossknow and shake off your guilt. Down upon your knees, man, and pray." *f With this parting invocation he leaped from the window and was gone. The laird went to the window and stood there looking forth after

CHAPTER IV—CONTINUED.

So saying, he released the laird, shaking him off like a powerful hound who magnanimously but contemptuously releases a helpless rat. Panting and trembling, Mossknow stood against the wall, and for some moments tried in vain to speak. At last his voice found utterance. '•Will the woman promise, if I send her the money she asks, to leave Scotland at once?" "She asks no money," said Mcgillvray. "Tis J, Willie Macgillvray, that demand it in her name." •'If I consent, will you promise that she will not remain around to molest me?" 'Til promise nothing but have no fear—the lass is but too eager to be gone."

Bim. Then his eyes also looked upward to the glittering signs of the sky, and a feeling of awe and shame sunk deep into his hard heart. For, with all his evil qualities, he was a superstitious man. The medicant's strange moral exhortation daunted and discouraged him more than he would have cared to admit, and for the first time in his life he felt the loneliness of his position.

CHAPTER V.

BY ROBERT BUCHANAN.

"QUOTH HE, 'THERE WAS A SHIP. Early the next day, Willie Mac-

Slllvray

stood at the door of Lizzie

ampbell's cottage, and, after knocking gently, entered in. He found the woman busy putting together the few things that she possessed, and preparing for her long journey. Robin was there, bright and happy (as only children can be) at the prospect of the change. "There, Lizzie, woman," said the mendicant, "I bring you part of your boy's birthright." And he placed in her hands a leathern bag containing a hundred pieces of gold. "Has he sent it?" cried Lizzie amazed. ''Oh, Mr. Macgillvray, I cannot take it! 'Tis far more than I ahall ever need!" "Wheesht, and count it! 1 drew At from the bank this morning. They looked me up and down, as if I had stolen the check or forged the laird's name. Count it, Lizzie, woman!"

As he continued to insist, she sat ^idown, and counted the sovereigns in tier lap. Robin looked on in delight

And wonder. When the counting was over, Lizzie looked up into Willie's face and cried— "Oh, Mr. ftiacgillvray, 'tis far more than I shall *»ver noxl. It. is yours as mw:h as miqe. Let me share it ..A.witn my only friei d." "Put it up. L.zzic, and take care fit for the bairn," returned Willie, "JurX Uief, or A Icon,

that I should rob him of bawbee of his birthright?" "But you are so poor, and—" "It is good that the servant of God should be poor. The Lord feeds the young ravens and the doves o' the rock, and He will feed Willie Macgillvray."

Then they sat down together and talked of the future- The woman's mind was quite made up she would sail for Canada, and join her sister. Some day, perhaps, she might return she could not tell all she craved for now was to be far away among strangers, in a strange land. Presently,having sent Robin on some pretext of a message to one of the neighbors, she heard the whole story of that stormy interview at the Castle and at first, in her indignation, she was for sending every penny of the money back to the man who had betrayed her. But Willie j»ersuaded her that she was only taking what belonged of right to her child. "Lizzie, woman," he said at last, "the mills of God grind small, and everything comes to them that ken how to wait. Though you be far away, I shall be here, with my een upon the laird, and, day by day, whene'er a chance comes, I'll be pleading the cause e, the first-born. The Lord that makes the tiger's heart and the oruel heart of man kens how to subdue it. Trust in Him, Lizzie, aud ne'er despair!"

That very night, after darkness had fallen, Lizzie Campbell and her son, accompanied by Willie Maogillvray, walked on foot into the town of Cinne, and took passage in a small coasting schooner, which was about to sail from that port to Greenock. A small wooden ehest, containing all poor Lizzie's worldly goods, was carried into the town and aboard the vessel by a neighbor's son, a stalwart young shepherd. About midnight when the wind was blowing freshly from the west, the vessel lifted her anchor and set sail.

Three nights afterwards, mother and son found themselves on board one ef the great ocean steamers that sail from the Ctyde to Montreal. They hf.d taken a passage in the in termediate eabin. The steamer was depart from Greenock at daybreak, and all night long Lizzie and Willie stood on the decks, talking of the past and the future. Then, as the sun rose crimson out of the east, bells rang to announce the hour of parting, erowds swarmed the decks and thronged the quays, men shouted, and. in the midst of all, the engines throbbed like a monster's heart. Tears streaming down her cheeks, Lizzie bade farewell to Macgillvray, who gave her a fatherly kiss upon the forehead, and then, lifting Robin in his arms, kissed and blessed him tenderly. Robin looked pale and sorry, but his eye was as firm as that of a young hawk, and his heart was full of boyish expectation. Then, almost before he knew, Willie was hustled ashore, where, as the great steamer began to move away, he stood amid the throng on the very edge of the quay, stretching out his arms in blessing, and crying— "May he who guides leviathan through the waters pilot this ship across the ocean! May He who watches the husbandless and the fatherless spare the ship and all the living souls therein. Amen! amen!"

Wild and rugged, he fell upon his knee6, praying and kissing hands to Lizzie and her son till they disappeared from sight. Then, waving his arms, he plunged into the crowd, and amid the laughter and jeers of the people, who saw in him only a half-witted gaberlunzie man, disappeared among the- slums of the smoky seaside town.

It was one dark, rainy afternoon, just three weeks after that scene of parting, that John Mossknow, standing booted and spurred on the threshold of Castle Linne, saw a wild figure rushing up the avenue towards him, and recognized with a start the face of Willie the Preacher. Pale as death, more ragged and wild than ever, Willie ran up and met the master of the Castle face to face." "Down on your knees!" he cried. "Down on your knees, John Mossknow, and ask pardon, of the God you have offended! The blood of the innocent is upon your head, the cry of the mother and the orphan is rising up against you, and the curse of Cain shall rest upon you and yours, till the Lord comes in judgment, and the sea gives up its dead!' "The man is mad!" said Mossknow, amazed and terrified. "What do you mean?" X?

Then he perceived with astonishment that tears were streaming down the mendicant's furrowed cheeks. Sobbing and wailing, Willie drew from his half-naked breast a newspaper, and placed it in the laird hands, crying— "The weariful woman, whom I loved as my own daughter! The bonnie, golden-hairVl laddie, who was dearer to roe than my own son! Read, ye murderer, read. God plucks the beauteous flower and spares the baneful weed. The house of Linne is desolate for ever, and the curse of blood hangs for ever on this wicked doerl"

Trembling from head to foot, Mossknow stood in the doorway, glancing at the paper. Behind him, the,lobby, stood the two servants of the house, startled by the sound of the mendieaat'a votoe, and aghast, at the Atrangt soene. In a moment

3» account of»great shipwreck—of the loss of the Clyde steamer Glenalorn, ia a collision with an iceberg of? the coast of Newfoundland. Only some dozen souls, including the chief officer and three of the crew, had escaped in the long boat, and been icked up by a German steamer, 'he names of the saved were given, but there was no mention of the names of Lizzie Camdbell and her

son. "My God! is it possible?" exclaimed Mossknow then, turning to the servants, he shrieked savagely, "Why do you stand gaping and glowering there? In with you: in with you!"

They disappearen in terror, and he was left alone with the mendioant. "This is ill news," he said. "God knows, I am not to blame!" "Not to blame! It is the judgment of God upon you for your cruelty in driving them forth! Their curse shall haunt you till your dying day, and drag you down!' "Peace, man, peace!" cried the laird. "As God shall judge me, I would give all I have to nave averted this calamity. Come into the house, and let us talk it over."

He led the way into his library. Willie followed him, moaning bitterly. "Maybe, after all. the lass and her child are saved," said the laird, pac ing up and down the chamber. "This is but a hasty telegraphic account. Better news may follow!" "Never, never!" moaned the mendicant. "I foresaw it. I saw death on her face as we parted on the quay. Oh, God, why are the innocent taken and the guilty spared?" Jfjj ffg

Over what further took place between the two men, it is unnecessary to dwell. To do Mossknow justice, he seemed deeply concerned at the unexpected calamity, and grieved that he had not dea.t more gently with Lizzie Campbell and her child.

From that time forth a eurious friendship, if friendship it could be cailed, grew up between Willie the Preacher and John Mossknow, the laird of Linne. They had a common secret, and to a certain extent a oominon sorrow. Mossknow was a lonely man. superstitious, eccentric,gloomy and taciturn he was fascinated by the character of his new acquaintance, the only creature in the world that had ever uttered the truth to his face, and bearded him in his own den.

Years passed on. No tidings from across the water came to contradict the cruel report of that fatal shipwreck. Willie Macgillvray went and came in the old wild way a little older and a little sadder, that was all. Mossknow did not marrv, but as time advanced his eccentricities increased. He seldom left home, but lived an ascetic life at the Castle. From the time he was visited by Willie the Preacher. Every year deepened the intimacy between the two men, but not a soul in the neighborhood guessed the nature of the tie which bound them together.

BOOK THE SECOND.^

TWENTY YEARS AFTER

•. CHAPTER VI

EDWARD LINNE

It was New Year's eve, twenty years after. Instead of snow heavy rain was falling, and the wind whistled as drearily as a voice singing wild requiems for the dead. "An eerie night," muttered old Sampson Gardner, the landlord of the Rob Roy Inn, on the outskirts of the town of Linne, as he sat beside his kitchen fire, smoking his pipe and listening to the pattering of the rain and the weary whistling of the wind. "Wearifu' weather brings wearifu' times, and ilka year that slips pasdoesna mend matters. Lord save us! the time has been when I hae seen the snow half a yard deep on the Linne road and heard these old walls ring with the clink o' glasses and the laughter o' merrymaking folk but noo scarce a traveler comes to the Rob Roy, and the old walls are full of chinks for thind to creep in and instead of. snow we get the awsome greeting o' the rain.

As ne spoke, he rubbed his knees, and gazed with dimly blinking eyes into the fire.

The wind whistled down the chimney, and blew the blaze upon the hearth. A stream of rain was creeping in beneath the door, and soiling the silvery whiteness of the fine seasand which was strewn upon the fresh-scrubbed boards. "Mysie, woman!" called Sampson, slowly turning round and gazing at the shinning plates upon which the firelight played, as if in mockery at the dreary sounds from without, "Mysie, woman, come doon! We shall hae nae travellers here the night we'll sup together, you and I. We'll try to imagine we're young, Mysie, woman, and well share a tumbler o' toddy to mind us that 'tis New Year's time."

As he spoke, he started, listened, and smiled. The sound of wheels now rose above the whistling of the wind then came three loud raps at the door. ijj#,

Old Sampson put down his pipe upon the hob, shuffled across the floor, and drew back the bolts and bars. As the door flew open, admitted a blast of wind and a few heavy drops of half-frozen rain, a traveller entered. "A wat night, sir!" cried old Sampson and he gazed out in the blackness as if expeeting other figures to issue forth.

But none eotne. The wheels crunched the gvwrel again aa- their moved away, and as thejr did ao Sampson was walled to himself

imperious voice of M*'

the harsh, guest. "Close the doorl Don't yon see how the rain is driving in? And come and get me something warm, for I must soon be on the mov« again."

As soon as the old innkeeper had obeyed the orders of his guest and securely fastened up the creaking door, he turned and ?ave a secret glance at the new arrival.

He was a young-man, tail and thin with black hair clustered about his head, and a pair of keen black eyes. Although the features were wellformed, it was by no means a' pleasant face, especially when, as now, itg expression was marred by a heavy frown and a restless wandering ol the strange, dark eyes.

He was wrapped in a Scotch plaid, the heavy folds of which had afforded him good protection from the rain but the water dripped from the brim of his deer-stalker's hat, and made a little pool upon the floor. "Did you say, sir, that you wished to gang forth again the night?" asked Sampson.

The young man shrugged his shoulders. "No, my man," he returned, with grim pleasantry "I did not say so. Who the devil would wish to go out oc a night like this? For my part, I love comfort far two well bui when duty," he added, making awry face, "calls me, why I go."

He glanced around as he spoke, and for the first time noticed that a third person stood looking at him and listening to his words.

[TO BE CONTINTED.]

THE SECRET OF YOUTH,

Why Certain Women Are Always Fresh and Beautiful.

People are apt to attribute haggard looks to mental activity, and to counsel repose and tranquility as a cosmetic.

To the thoughtful traveler the fals ity of this theory is obvious. It is in the country village, where the church meeting is the theater, the mail the excitement, the days weeks, and one can hear the cows breathe in the deathly stillness, that the greatest number of sunken cheeks, wrinkled brows, leaden complexions and lifeless expressions are to be seen among the women yet in their thirties. In the seething metropolis, living three lives and enjoying two, are to be found scores of women— mothers or perhaps grandmothers— possessing all the vitality, freshness and much of the bloom of early youth.

The fact is, it is not activity, but drowsiness, the presence of sleeping or dead thought in the soul, that is aging. Unvaried scenes, the repetition to-morrow of to-day, to-day ol yesterday, this week of the preceding one, the ability to calculate exactly what each neighbor is doing at each hour of each day—the inevitable, clock-like routine of conception, the monotony of existence, the utter weariness of an empty think-tank, that saps the vernal springs of life and creates decay in the face.

Past grief, old angers, revenges, even past pleasu es constantly dwelt upon—all dead, decaying or decayed thought make a sepuleher of the soul, a cemetery of the body and a weather-beaten monumont of the face. This is age.

The women who never grow old are the student women—those whe daily drink in new chyle through memorizing, thoroughly analyzing and perfectly assimilating subjects apart from themselves. Study is development—is eternal youth. The student woman who makes wise use of her acquisition has no time to corrugate her brow with dread thought of the beauty-destroyer leaping fast behind her. Not considered or invited, old age keeps his distance

Brain culture based on noble motive means sympathy, heart gentleness. charity, gracsiousness, enlargement of sense, feeling, power.

Such a being cannot become a fossil. She has found the elixir of life, the fountain of eternal youth,—Fannie Edgar Thomas.

Giving Big Names.

The oustom of fastening lengthy and imposing names upon small and uuimposing dwelling is a peculiar and distinctively English one. says the New York Commercial Advertiser, These names look particularly well when blazoned upon writing-paper, and serve to impress the distant correspondent. who has never visited the writer's establishment, with the magnificence of the same. But ihreefourths of them are basely deceptive. "Buckingham Hall, ppington-Gads-bury-on-the-Wopple, Oh utneyshire," is quite liable to materialize in the shape of a two-story cottage with an acre of ground around it, while the numerous "mansions" with highsounding prefixes whioh abound in the suburban districts of London rarely boast of more than ten rooms. The gentle Anglomanias is just beginning to acquire this little trick, and those of him who live in the upper parts of town are beginning to endow their homes with sweetly British flames. A plate in the en-graving-room of a well-known local stationer reads as-follows: Hall, Carmansvill-on-the-Hudson, New York, N,"

Anything more superlatively Londony could not be desired, and if this fashion spreads to Jersy City and Astoria the results will be sadden ing to Contemplate.

INDIANA ODD FELLOWS.

The Indiana Grand Lodge of Independent Order of Odd Fellows metatlndianap' olis Nov. 18 and 19, with 1,000 delegate present. The report of Grand Master W H. Leedy shows the order to be in the most prosperous condition, The initiations during the six months numbered 2,385 and the net gain 1,658, both larger than in any other term in the history of the order. Six subordinate and eighteen Rebekah lodges were instituted. Grand Secretary Foster in his report, says: "We hav« cause to be thankful to the great Father of all for the continued and unparalleledprosperity of the Order. After deductin# all losses we are left with a net gain ii membership of near seventeen hundred he largest gain in any one term in th* history of the Order in this jurisdiction An examination of the statistics herewitl presented will show twenty-three hundred and eighty-five initiations four hundred and iifteen admitted by card, and three hundred and five re-instated,

The financial outlook in Europe is very gloomy. Russia has prohibited exports of wheat, beginning the 23d.

Brazil's Dictator will soon wage war on the rebellious provinces. Chili has assumed a less defiant attitude toward the United States and is now believed to be disposed to arbitrate.

The Socialists are preparing, it is said to make a warm attack in the Reichstag upon any measure proposed in pursuance of tho Kaiser's new hobby of enforcing personal morals by law. The Kaiser's yievvs are not at all acceptable to tho Socialists, who charge him with attempting to assume authority little short of Omnipotent, and altogether unsuited to the present stage of civilization. Between Bismarck and the Socialists all judications point to a lively session in the Reichstag.
