And so I was very nmtcnt to do. deliv
ering llarhel In'o the hands of Iter Undo
Lancelot I'rlnxje of Quatrclwood In due
time, but n longer time mayhap than In
ordinary circumstances It took to traverse
the distance between tho fords of Holywnol
uur agaliiht Nelliorsolm und thu iiiausion
Iiouso of Qimrrelwood. I'or the pl"nure
thut I had In carrying of Haehcl rrlnglo
through tho water had gone to my h"ii 1
tomo little and I was perlipp.1 not so clear
ubout my way as I might have been.
So. mlf. ling me on that heartsome nnd
merroral b night. tneih'T with other things
more recent, I whs not peihi'ps very anx oui
alout Ihe nTeetlon of Knrhnel l'rlngle, for
I thought 'hat It would tube more than th.j
ord if Itoailng Half to change that little
Hacli-d, whom 1 had enrrbd In my armn
ocr tho swelling of Nlth water. I minded
me bow tight she had held me, nnd how,
when we got over, she whispered In my ear
bt ft r- I sol her duwii: "H..rry. 1 like Htronj
men!" Which s.ijitig .-o.mwhat delayed tn
putting her down, for thu ground grew In
continently bopgy and unstable Just at thai
pot.
So on tho evening of the lay aft;r I had
fortaken my 111 courses at tho bidding nt
tho Little Fair Man, I set out from the on
sleadlng of Ulack Crnlg of Dee, leaving all
thoro In the keeping of my brother John, a
stark upstanding lad, nnd Tiose of (J.lher
drier, my rh'ef hired herd. I told tnem not 1
whero I was going, but I think thiy knew
well enough. I'or John bp. light me my
father's bioadsword, which ho had sharp
ened, Instead of my own HLiallcr whlng. r,
and (lib. thu herd, took tin. pistols out ot
my bolt nnd fuw to their prlniinp anew.
They wero always very loyal and slh to my
heart, theso two, and sped tie on my love
adventure without a word.
Now tho turn or twist Ihat I gat at the
outdoor service nl the Kirk of Kelts was
strange enough. It may seem that a man
can only be turned by the application of
rtaion or argument, hut It was not so with
me. The Little Kalr Man crooked his linger
and snld. "Come"- and 1 came. Fo also was
It with tho others who wuru convertlt that
day, aided, maybe, somewhat by my black
quarter atari. Hut I have since read In tho
Hook that even so did Mr. Hutht'rfnrd'b
friend, when on the shores of the sea he
called His disciples, "Come!" he snld to the
fishermen, nnd forthwith they left all and
followed him.
Now, my call did no! cause me to follow
the Little Fair Man. It was not of Ihat
8ort. Ho did not bid mo to that of It. Hut
thoso who have been my neighbors will bear
me witness that I never was the samo man
ugaln, but through ninny shortcomings and

Yes. so she was. Tor as I came In view
of the yard gate I saw a white thing waved

"Dear lass!'' I thought, "she Is watching.
And thinks thus to bid mc welcome. She
has doubt less made my peuoo with the

And 1 smiled within myself, like a vain
fool, well content and soiurc.
Also I iiuukcncd my steps a little so
dial I mlKht arrive In time for the meal,
bclnic hunser sharpened with my travel, and
having out of expectance and forgetfulness
taken but little notntng provender with

I watched the window eagerly as I rami

F. en aa I did no n llitlo cloud of men,
ptrhap half a doen, came rushing out
of the mlckle y.it with a loud shout and
mado for mc across tho lovol sward. Fore
most of them was Hearing Half. So I
knew he had not forgotten the clout on
the head he had gotten. 1 knew him by
his height nnd by th- white clout that
wan bMind like a mulch nbut his brows.
"Harry," fald I to myself, when I saw

Then I heard the bralngo of brckl'-g

And oven then I was glad to heir tho

"Kill him! Shoot him! Tut a bullet Into

Wmdrotis iitlmutatlng I found such re

Then I made what shift I ould to bind up
my arm. I was already faint from loss of
blood, but I bound a band tight about my
upper arm, twisting It with a stick till I
almost cried out with the greatness of the
pain. Then I Hod a rag torn from my shirt
about the wound Itself, which turned out to
bo In the fleshy part, very red and angry.
However, It had bled freely, which, though
It mado tue faint at the time, together with
tho wa.-hmg In the water of the I. nil, was
piobab.y the saving of me. There was a eoft
fanning air as the night drew on and In my
wet clothes 1 shivered, now hot, now cold.
Yet my bend was throbbing and overfull
and I began to fee strange lights as the
cuvo alternately grew wide and high as the
firmament, and anon contracted to the situ
of a hazelnut About me. That was the little
touch of feicr which always comes after a
gunshot wound.
So In a little fell thu darkness, or rather
If there had not been a full moon, the daik
neflM would hnvo fallen. Hut being thirsty
with nij wound, I raw-led down to tho
watel'3 edge and bent my h -ad to drink

eais And o! in the pool I bhw tho round
of tho moon tellccted I was nt the mouth
of the llit.e cavo and there to the north the
p ow liut.g updldo down ns fiom a nail in
tho August sky, whtlo a llitle higher I saw
one pioug of silvery Cassiopeia's broken

The stars looked so remote and lonesome,
so eafu and cnrelcxs u, there, they mindeii
:0 little that 1 was wounded und helpless,
that tf I had not been a cnaugod mau I do

"I nm lure!" I answ.ud as softiy ns

drowned my voice, th ugh my ears, mure
accustomed to tho roar, had cnught hers

So, sttad)lng mo on tho crtitih of a tree

black against the Indigo aky of night.
"Harry Harry Wcddcrburn1"
"Hero dear love here! Hy thu water
fall." In an Instant sho was flying down the
slcpo, having lifted her skirt, and as we
say, "killed" It ho that she might go down
the HghtT. She wore a white gown, und
I could ace her lilt like a moth tln-"u;h
tho covert of blrk and hazel to thu water
tdge. In another moment, without sup
ping either for diiectlon or to draw breath,
sho was coming toward me, her fate to
the precipice, swiftly, fearlessly clinging
to the little ragged rock rlfta from whl. h
scarce a wind-rafted seed would grow
or a tuft of gillyflower protrude about
whlih to clasp the finders. Hut Haclui

love. They may see you. I am coining.
I know tho way!
And with that I stepped back out of the
mncnllght obedient to her word. Yet I
stood near enough to tho wall of tho cliff
to reach my arm over for her tq takn. so
that she might have something to hold by
during the Inst and most dimcult steps
tf the gnats' path, the roaring linn being
above, the pool, deep and black, below.
Now, cither by chance or berauso It was
the one which could reach farthest. I ten
dered Hachel my wounded arm and as soon
us she clasped my hand so rudo a stound
ran up my wrist Ihat It seemed ns though
pierced through ami through with n hot
Iron. So nt last when Hachel leaped
lightly on the wet rock I was ready to drop
like a blown windiest rao in n December
gale Into her nrms yes, 1, that was the
strong man. called Strenglh-'o-nlrm. laid
my head on her shoulder and she drew
mo within the shelter of tho cave's mouth,
tnolng ovor mo ns wood doves do their
mates nnd whispering soft words to me ns
a mother dnth to a bairn thnt hath fallen
down and hurt Itself.
Hut In n little whlln the stound of pain
t.as.sod away, what with tho happiness of
her coming, tho plash of the nearer waters
and tho coolness of the night winds, whl. h
blew to and fro In our refuge place its
'hn ueh n tunnol.
Then Hachel told me thai sho had run
from the house whlln they wvro all seurth
Ing for inn everywhere, Hoaring Half and
In r brother I'eter, together with (Jib Max
well of Slagnaw, Haul Keddlck of tho
glen and Hlack-Hrnwed Mncclellnno of fire,
gorle, Will of Overlaw nnd Lmicalot Llnd
ray, thn tutor of Hascarrel as blood
thirsty a crow as ever raked the brim
stony byroads of hell.
Very well I knew that If they lighted
upon us together there was no hope for
me. Hut Hachel allayed my fear a little
by telling me she did not hellevo that any
in tho house knew of the cavo beneath the
tumble of rocks save only herself. It had
long been her custom to srek It f-ir quiet
when tho Hoarlng Ono brought his crew
about Ihe house nnd none had over traekod
her thither.
So she examined my wound In tho light
of tho moon, which shone In at one end as
wo sat on the Inmost crutth of tho trve.
Now, Rarhel hnd much skill In wouud3, fir.
Indeed, ner home was never free of them,
her br.-therc I'ctor nnd the Hearing Ono,
never being both skin whole at the same

from hr white underskirt sho bathed 'and
bandaged the wound, telling mo for my
comfort tint the shot appeared to have
gouo thrrugh Iho fleshy part wit hunt lodg
ing, so that moBt likely the wound would
enmo togother swoctly and heal hy tho
first intent i mi.
Then, after this was done, wo arrived
al our first difference. For Hachel vowed
Hint she would In no wise go back to the
.-nstood of Klrkchrlst, but would stop nnd
tiursti .ne ho.-e In the linn. Whbii thing,
Indeed, was mightily pleasant to the
natural man. Hut being mindful of that
which the Little Kalr Man hnd said, and
also of the censorious clntter of Ihe conn-
try side. I Judged this lo be Impossible.
and told Ilachel so, who In her turn re-
celved It by no means wl h . ekuess. but
rose nnd slumped her little fool and said

pcarcd to h"ld myself up by thn roclt with
dimculty. ho sisynl in the full flood of her
reproaches anil faltered. "What Is tho mat-

Then becnuso I made no answer, she
kneeled down Lesldo mc nnd, taking my

brow.

periority la n man's forgiving m a wo
man's there Is only love and the desire
for peace.
"Then I may stay with you?" she said.
And I will not deny but she tempted mu
more.
Hut swift H8 tho sunbeam that strikes
from cloud to hilltop a thought came to
inc.
"Listen to me Hae," I said, "at tho break
of day or thereby nil will be quiet. The
Hoarlng One nnd all his crew will be snor
ing 111 bed."
"Or on the floor," said Hachel, with n
quick and dainty sniff of distaste.
"That will sufllte," I said, 'then will we
go down and call up the minister; wo
will cause him to marry us and then wo
will fear neither traitor nor slanderer."
"Hut he will no!," she cried; "Donald

Marshnll Mentoe Klrkman has written nn
American novel, having for a title "Ho- ;
trance of Ollbert Holmes." It Is a thrilling '
story of early western life. The nuthor'B
home Is In Chicago and naturally enough ha j
has chosen for his hero an Illinois boy.
While the main current of the story deals
with the experiences of this boy, Ollbert'
Holmes, there are soveral real hls'orlcal
characters, Ulack Hawk, the famous Indlnn
chief, Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis and
other piotnlnent figures of the early days In
tho west. Tho scene shifts to the neighbor
bond of Hock Island and to other Miss ss'p

Thero Is a good deal to Irani about books
besides their contents. How books are
made, how they should be handled, how as
sembled and arranged lu tint library arc
subjects very little understood by the aver
age reader of books. In this day of large
private nnd public libraries the carlug for
books Is a science by Itself, which Is most
e tertalnlngly written cf hy Alnaworth Hand
Spofford In his new work, "A Hook For All
Headers: Designed as nn Aid to tho Col
tccllon, Use nnd Preservation of Hooks and
ttin Formation of Public and Prlvato Ll-
brarles." It Is a book that should bo In the
hands of every person engaged in collecting
a private library ns well as In the pos cs
slon of every one connected with private
libraries. A very good Ideal of the charac
ter of tho work may be gained from the fol
lowing selected nt random from tbo table
of contents: The choice of l ooks, hook buy

mies ot books, tho art ot book binding, tho
