(Copyright, 1896. by Stone tad KlmbalL) SYNOPSIS. Adam Weir, Lord Hermiston, first tha Lord-Advocate, and then the Lord JusticeClerk, of the Senators of the College of Justice at Edinburgh, has married Jean Rutherford, Jast heir of her line, upon whose estate at the Scottish Tillage of Crossmlchael he resides when court is not In session. He Is noted for bis severity, and has become famous for the "hanging face" with which he confronts criminals—while his wife Is ?l religious type. Their son Arch* lbald combines the qualities of the two, but DAS &een brought up by his mother almost exclusively. She Inspires him with her religious views, so that unconsciously he grows to resent his father's severity and roughness. His mother having died, Archie continues his studies, having little in common with Lord Hermiston, with one of whose fellow justices and friends, however, scholarly gentleman of the old school, he forms a close friendship. At the trial of one Jopp, for murder, Archie is especially off ended by his father's coarse remarksand, brooding over the exhibition of what seems po him savage cruelty, he attends the execution. As the man's body falls, he cries out: "I denounce this God-defying murder." The same evening, at his college debating society, he propounds the question "whether capital punishment be consistent with God's will or man's policy." A great scandal is aroused in the city by these actions of the son of Lord Hermiston. Archie meets the family doctor, who shows him by an anecdote that, under his father's granite exterior, the latter has a great love for him. This creates a revulsion in Archie's feelings. His father soon hears of his son's performances, and reproaches him severely. Archie accepts the rebuke and submits himself. Nevertheless, Lord Hermiston orders him to abandon the law, and assigns him to the care of the estate at Crossmlchael. Archie goes the same evening to call en the old Justice, already mentioned, who comforts him and points out his father's great abilities, and together they drink the health of Lord Hermiston. Archie establishes himself on the estate, and finds still at the homestead his mother's former housekeeper, Klrstie (or Christina) Elliott a distant relative of his mother's, who Is devoted to the family fortunes. He does not get on well with his scattered neighbors, and becomes much of a recluse. Klrstie indulges him with many long talks, recounting the history of the region. She tells him a great deal about her four nephews, formerly a wild set, but now leading quiet lives. Robert, or "Hob," is the laird of Cauldstaneslap, a small property near by. Gilbert is a weaver and Independent preacher. Clement has removed to Glas* gow, and become a well-to-do merchant. Andrew or "Dandle," a shepherd by trade, Is a great wanderer about the country, and a local poet of repute. Archie asks Klrstl* If there is not a sister also.

PART IV.—(Chapter V. Continued.) "Ay. Kirstie. She was named for me, or my grandmother at least—it's the sain* thing," returned the aunt, and went on again about Dand, whom she secretly preferred by reason of his gallantries, "But what Is your niece like?" said Arcb* ie at the next opportunity. "Her? As black's your hat! But I dlnna suppose she would maybe be what you would ca' "Ill-looked" a' thegither. Na, she's a kind of a handsome Jad —a kind p' gipsy" said the aunt, who had two sets of scales for men and women—or perhaps It would be more fair to say that she had three, and the third and the most loaded was for girls, "How comes It that I never see her In church?" said Archie. 'Deed, and I believe she's in Olesgie with Clem and his wife. A heap good she's like to get of It! I dinna say for men folk, but where weemen folk are born, there let them bide. Glory

begun to strike Arch

that while she thus sang the

praises of her kinsfolk, and manifestly reJJshed virtus and (I may say) their vices like a thing creditable to herself, fchepe should appear not the least sign ot cordiality between the house of Hermiston and that of Cauldstaneslap. Going to ohurch of a Sunday, as the lady housekeeper stepped with her skirts kilted, three tucks of her white petticoat showing below, and her best India shawl upon her back (If the day were fine) In a pattern of radiant dyes, she would sometimes overtake her relatives preceding her more leisurely In the same direction. Gib of course was absent by skriegh of day he had been gone to Crossmlchael and his fellow heretics but the rest of the family would be seen marching in open order: Hob and Dand, stiff-necked, straight-backed six-footers, •with severe dark faces, and their plaids about their shoulders the convoy of children scattering (In a state of high polish) on the wayside, and every now and again collected by the shrill summons ff the mother and the mother herself, by a suggestive circumstance which might have afforded matter of thought to a mors experienced observer than Archie, wrapped In a «haw) nearly Identical with Klrstle's but a thought more gaudy and conspicuously newer. At the sight. Klrstie grew more tall— Klrstie showed her ciassioal profile, nose in air and nostril spread, the pure blood came In her cheek evenly in a delicate living pink. "A braw day to ye. Mistress Elliott," said she, and hostility and gentility were nicely mingled In her tones. "A fine day, mem." the laird's wife would reply with & miraculous curtsey, spreading the while her plumage—setting off. in other words, and with arts unknown to the mere man, the pattern of her India shawl. Behind her. thewhoteCauldstanealapcontlngent marched in closer order, and with an indescribable air »f being in the presence of the foe,* and while Dandle saluted his aunt with a certain farrlV.irity as of one who was well In court. Hob marched on tn awful Immobility. There appeared upon the face of this attitude in the family the consequences of some dreadful feud. Presumably the two women had been principals tn the original encounter. and the laird had probably been drawn into the quarrel by the ears, too late to be Included tn the present akta-deep reconciliation. "Klrstie." said Archie one day, "what Is this you have against your family?" "I dinna eomploan," said Kirstie with a Rash. "I say naethlng." "I see you do not—not eren good day to your own nephew," sald he. "I hae naething to be ashamed of/* Mid aha. "1 oaa say the Lord's prayer with a

She looked upon him in silence, with a spaj-kling eye but an indecipherable expression and that was all that Archie was ever destined to learn of the battle of the India shawls. "Do none of them ever come here to see you?" he inquired. "Mr. Archie," said she, "I hope that I ken my place better. It would be a queer thing, if I was to clamjamfry up your faither's house. that I should say it dirty, black-a-vlsed clan, no ane o' than it was worth while to mar soap upon but Just mysel'! Na, they're all damnifeed wi' the black Ellwalds. I have nae patience wl' black folk." Then, with a sudden consciousness of the case of Archie, "No that it maitters for men sae muckle," she made haste to add, "but there's naebody can deny that it's unwomanly. Long hair is the ornament o' woman ony way we've good warrandlse for that—it's in the Bible—and wha can doubt that the Apostle had some gow-den-haired lassie in his mind—Apostle and all, for what was he but just a man like yersel'

"KIRSTIE, WHAT IS THIS YOU HAVE AGAINST YOUR FAMILY?" his ease In the only pew, for no othei In the kirk had doors. Thence he might command an undisturbed view of that congregation of solid plaided men, strapping wives and daughters, oppressed children, and uneasy sheep-dogs. It was strange how Archie missed the look of race except the dogs, with their refined foxy faces and inimitably curling tails, there was no one present with the least claim to gentility. The Cauldstaneslap party was scarcely an exception. Dandle perhaps, as he amused himself making verses through the intermipblo burden of the service, stood out a Utile by tC glow in h& eye anf a certain superior animation of face and alertness of body but even Dandle slouched like a rustic. The rest of the congregation, like so many sheep, oppressed him with a sense of hob-nailed routine, day following day— of physical labor In the open air, oatmeal porridge, peas bannock, the somnolent fireside in the evening, and the night-long nasal slumbers in a box-bed. Yet he knew many of them to be shrewd and humorous, men of character, notable women, making a bustle In the world and radiating an influence from their low-browed doors. He knew besides they were like other men below the crust of custom, rapture found a way he had heard them beat the timbrel before Bacchus—had heard them shout and carouse over their whisky toddy and not the most Dutch-bottomed and severe faces among them all, not even the solemn elders themselves, but were capable of singular gambols at the voice of love. Men drawing near to an end of life's adventurous Journey—maids thrilling with fear and curiosity on the threshold of entrance—women who had borne and perhaps buried children, who could remember the clinging of the small dead hand and the patter of the little feet now silent—he marvelled that among all those faces there should be no face of expectation, none that was mobile, none Into which the rythm and poetry of life had entered. *0 for a live face," he thought and at times he had a memory of Lady Janet and at times he would study the living gallery before him with despair, and would see himself go on to waste his days In that joyless pastoral place, and death .come to him, and his grave be dug under the rowans, and the spirit of the Earth laugh out in a thunder-peal at the huge fiasco.

On this particular Sunday, there was ne doubt but that the spring had come at last. It was warm, with a latent shiver In the air that made the warmth only the more welcome. The shallows of the stream glittered and tinkled among bunches of primrose. Vagrant scents of the earth arrested Archie hy the way with moment* of ethereal Intoxication. The grey, Quakerish dale was still only awakened In places and patches from the sobriety of Its winter coloring, and he wondered at its beauty: an essential beauty of the old earth It seemed to' him, not resident to particular* but breathing to him from the whole. He surprised himself by a suddea impulse to write poetry—he did sometimes, loose, galloping octosyllabics In the vein of 8oott—and when he had taken his piaoe

good grace. If Hob was ill, or in preeson or poverty, I would see to him blithely. But for curtchying and complimenting and colloguing, thank ye kindly!"

Archie had a bit of a smile: he leaned back in his chair. "I think you and Mrs. Robert are not very good friends," says he slyly, "when you have your India shawls on?"

CHAPTER VI.

A LEAP PROM CHRISTINA'S PSALMBOOK. Archie was sedulous at church. Sunday after Sunday he sat down and stood up with small company, heard the voice of Mr. Torrance leaping like an ill-played olarionet from key to key, and had an opportunity to study his moth-eaten gown and the black thread mittens that he Joined together in prayer, and lifted up with a reverent solemnity la the act of benediction. Hermiston pew was a little square box, dwarfish In proportion with the kirk Itself, and enclosing a table not much bigger than a footstool. There he sat, an apparent prince, the only undeniable gentleman and the only great heritor in the parish, taking

on a boulder, near some fhlry falls and shaded by a whip of a tree that was already radiant with new leaves, it still more surprised him that he should find nothing to writs. His heart perhaps beat in time to some vast Indwelling rhyme of the universe. By the time he came to a corner of the valley and could see the kirk, he had so lingered by the way that the first psalm was finishing. The nasal psalmody, full of turns sad trills and graceless graces, seemed the essential voice of the kirk itself upraised In thanksgiving.

He went up the aisle reverently and took his place in the pew with lowered eyes, for he feared he had already offended the kind old gentleman In the pulpit, and was sedulous to offend no farther. He could not follow the prayer, not even the heads of it. Brightnesses of azure, clouds of fragrance, tinkle of falling water and singing birds rose like exhalations from some deeper, aboriginal memory, that was not his, but belonged to the flesh on hts bones' His body remembered and it seemed to him that his body was in no way gross, but ethereal and perishable like a strain of music and he felt for it an exquisite tenderness as for a child, an innocent, full of beautiful instincts and destined to an early death. And he felt for old Torrance —of the many supplications, of the few days—a pity that was near to tears. The prayer ended. Right over him was a tablet in the wall, the only ornament in the roughly masoned chapel—for it was no more the tablet commemorated, I was about to say the virtues, but rather the existence of a former Rutherford of Hermiston and Archie, under that trophy of his long descent and local greatness, leaned back in the pew and contemplated vacancy with the shadow of a smile between playful and sad, that be-' came him strangely. Dandie's sister, sitting by the side of Clem in her new Glasgow finery, chose that moment to observe the young laird. Aware of the stir of his entrance, the little formalist had kept her eyes fastened and her face prettily composed during the prayer. It was not hypocrisy, there was no one farther from a hypocrite. The girl had been taught to behave to look up, to look down, to look unconscious, to look seriously impressed In church, and In every conjuncture to look her best. That was the game of female life, and she played It frankly. Archie was the one person In church who was of Interest, who was somebody new, reputed eccentric, known to be young and a laird, and still unseen by Christina. Small wonder that, as she stood there in her attitude of pretty decency, her mind should run upon him! If he spared a glance In her direction, he should know she was a well-behav-ed young lady wtho had been to Glasgow. In reason he must admire her clothes, and It was possible that he should think her pretty. At that her heart beat the least thing In the world and she proceeded, by way of a corrective, to call up and dismiss'a serl08 of fancied pictures of the young man who should now by rights be looking at her. She settled on the plainest of them, a pink short young man with a dish face and no figure, at Whose admiration she could afford to smite but for all that, the consciousness of his gaze (which was really fixed on Torrance and his mittens) kept her in something of a flutter till the word Amen, Even then, she was far too well-bred to gratify her curiosity with any Impatience. She resumed her

languidly—this was

a Glasgow touch—she composed her dress, rearranged her nose-gay of primroses, lookSi!?- front, then bedhind upon the 6ther ride, and at last allowed her eyes to move, without'hurry, in the~dlrect!on of the Hermiston pew. For a moment, they were rivited. Next she had plucked her gaze home again like a tame bird who should have meditated flight. Possibilities crowded on her she hung over the future and grew dizzy the image of thl3 young man slim, graceful, dark, with the inscrutable half-smile, attracted and repelled her like a chasm. "I wonder, will I have met my fate?" she thought, and her heart swelled.

ot hi* discourse, which was to deal with' nice point in divinity, before Archie suffered his eyes to wander. They fell first of all oa Clem, looking Insupportably prosperous and patronising Torrance with the Cavor of a modified attention, as of one who was used to better things to Glasgow. Though he had never before set eyes on htm, Archie had no difficulty in Identifying him, and no hesitation in pronouncing him vulgar, the- worst of the family. Clem was leaning laaily forward when Archie first saw him. Presently he leaned nonchalantly bade and that deadly Instrument, the maiden, was suddenly unmasked In profile. Though not quite la the front of the fashion (had anybody cared!), certain artful Glasgow mantna-makers, and her own Inherent taste, had arrayed her to great advantage. Her accoutrement was, Indeed, a at heart-burning, and almost of seandsMn that taflntteshnal kirk compear. Mrs. tfofr had said her say at Cauldstaneslap. "Daftlike T" she had pronounced It-

"Ev

erything's alive," he said and again cries ft aloud, "thank God, everything's alive!" He lingered yet awhile In the kirk-yard. A tuft of primroses was blooming hard by the leg of an old, black table tombstone, and he stopped to oon tempi ate the random apologue. They stood forth oa tha cold earth with a trenchency of contrast and he was struck with a sense of incompleteness in the day, the season, and the beauty that surrounded him—the chill there was In the warmth, the gross black clods about the opening primroses, the damp earthy smell that was everywhere Intermingled with the scents. The voles of the aged Torrance within rose in an ecstasy. And he wondered If Torrance also felt in his old bones the Joyous influence of the spring morning Torrance, or the shadow of what once was Torrance, that must come so soon to lie outside here in the sun and rain with all his rheumatisms, while a new minister stood in his room and thundered from his own familiar pulpit? The pity of it, and something of the chill of the grave shook him for a moment as he made haste to enter.

A FEMALE CONTRACTOR.

A Boston Woman Who Has Succeeded I: as a Builder, Conservative Boston has become a veritable hotbed for the advancement of women in business enterprises. There are progressive Boston women who cam oanducfc almost any desired line of business, design an artistic dwelling or municipal building, take an excellent photograph, print a novel in the late$ style, and, if the novel is not a success, arrange for the author's funeral in a fashion only possible to a tender hearted feminine undertaker familiar with business reverses in the Hub.

Mrs. Alice E. Oram, who has made such an enviable reputation for herself as a contractor, is also a Boston woman. Mrs. Cram says that she had no special business training beyond a good public school education and the fact that she was the sister of six brothers.

She started in business as a contractor with her husband nine yerjs ago. Her business ability was manifest from the start. Together Mr. and Mrs. Cram contracted for the foundation work of some large recent public buildings, among Others the new public library, the courthouse, the boulevard bridge and the Albany railroad, which is said to be one of the finest pieoes of masonry in the country.

The entire work on these contracts was superintended by Mrs. Gram, whose judgment in suoh matters is considered something unique.

About a year and a half ago Mrs. Oram decided to paddle her own busi-

ness canoe. She now has her own offices, manages all her business dealings and is proving the wisdom of her choioe in her remarkable success as a oontraotor.

In addition to her tegular work Mrs. Cram conducts a commission business, selling machinery and materials used in excavating and in general masonry work

She superintends all her own work and to this fact she attributes the satis factory results obtained. When she has a large contract on hand, she drives to and from the scene of action several times day in a jaunty cart that is managed with the skill of an expert whip.

To Mrs. Cram was confided the entire management of the construction of the foundation for the Edison Electric company building of Boston. Her most recent achievement was securing the contract from the Chase Granite oompany of New York to team 40,000 tons of stone to be used in elevating the tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. For this contraot she competed with contractors all over the country*

Mrs. Cram is of the "newest woman" type. She is a pretty, well dressed, home loving woman on one hand, and on the other thoroughly businesslike, energetic, jast to a degree, farsighted and generous without being sentimental. She employs women entirely for her office work. "I find that they can always be relied upon,'1 she said reoently. Mrs. Cram is a member of the Professional Woman's league of New York, an executive officer of the Boston Business league and treasurer of the Boston Playgoers' olub. —N ew York Journal. r, ^,
