CHAPTER in.
AT THE GATE.
He hail been in a dream during the tflst
ten minute* of lii9 stay in the captain’s
room Ho was ln 8 dream 11 ow that he got
out into the fresh air. Cargill going with
them—Cargill had been at the cottage just
before him—why, then it was all settled
ami there was no hope for him.
Wlmt liend, then, had prompted him to
say he would be pilot of the Mermaid on
this voyage? Why should he' be with them
when it would be only to intensify hi? sense
0f loss into hate, and—maybe, crime?
jle should have said, No, no, no!—and he
had said-yes” for the very reason which
should have compelled him to say no.
It was not yet too late, He could find
some excuse; ho could feign illness—he
could drown himself. Anything rather than
L'O on board that vessel and seo them to
Aether, knowing the man to be so unworthy,
lie did believo that if he had thought Car
gill an honest man lie could have said good
bye in sad resignation to the inevitable; he
could have steered them safely into port
with no chagrin, but only sorrow in his
heart.
As it was—he must escape from the en
gagement. He could not answer for him
self if lie fulfilled it.
As he was mechanically opening the gate
his arm was grasped by a friendly hand.
“Slop a minute, Mr. Ross, I have been
noticing that you are not well, can we do
flnvthimr for you?”
Not well! What a poor thing was It, then,
that the wreck of hope and future should
come to be a mere question of “Can we do
anything for you?” So much medicine—so
much fresh air—and lo, hope is restored and
the injure is as bright as ever. That is the
current mood—and a happy one—but to the
homely nature of a man like lioss it brought
no balm. He had ventured his all in a single
boat and it had sunk.
He turned and saw Annie, thebright sym
pathetic eyes fell upon him. Like most men
deeply in love he was most shy of the being
he most loved. So he answered somewhat
ungraciously.
“That is true—I am not well; but thank
you for coming to say a kind word to me.”
“I am very glad to have given you any
comfort. I doubt you have been overtax
ing yourself to-day.”
He rested on the gate. The sweet voice
was echoing in his brain and he listened.
Then speaking to the voice he breathed the
name, “Annie.”
Site did not draw away from him. She
stood breathless.
“Will you let me speak to you?” he said,
so quietly now that he could scarcely realize
himself that lie had been for a moment In
dreamland.
“If it will do you a*y good, to be sure I
will,” she answered with an endeavor to
speak quite frankly and easily; but the
voice faltered a little.
“Onything I like?”
"Of course.”
The permission granted he appeared to
find difficulty in taking advantage of it. So
there was a pause, and the outcome of it
was—
“I’m a stupi.l gowk.”
But ridiculous as the expression might be
to other cars they were not so to those of
Annie Murray, and she asked tremulously—
“What for?”
"Because I care more for yon than for
anybody or anything else, and—I have been
aye feared to tell you. Now it is useless
telling you.”
He spoke almost fiercely as in the throes
of a strong man’s agony; but with the evi
dent effort to restrain his passion.
"You rc not to speak any more,” she
said, drawing a long breath; “you are to
listen to me. You are young, and you can
go where you will find friends to comfort
ami cheer you-”
“So it is said of all men,” ho muttered.
“My father is an old man,” she went on,
“and lias only me as ids constant friend and
companion. Well, can you think of it? 1
said to myself long ago that I would never
leave him until lie sent me away. Well,
can you think of it? Tho only time tliatl
ever wished 1 might leave him was-”
But there the blood came rushing to her
face and a startled expression appeared in
her eyes as if she had caught herself in the
commission of some crime, and she became
silent. She, who had been calm in the midst
of storm, trembled.
“Well?” he asked, surprised by her sud
den stop and looking into her face for an
explanation.
“Well,” she said, softly—an entire change
of tone and manner—“there’s nothing more
to say except that I am glad you are to be
the pilot of the Mermaid on her next trip.”
He took her hand gently and for a mo
ment each looked into the other’s eyes.
Then
“Now It Is my turn to ask you to listen to
me,” he said slowly. “Whilst I was com
ing down the path, I made up my mind that
I would not go. You shall decide me. Is
Cargill going by your wish?”
“No.”
“Do you wish me to go?”
“I do—because father wishes It.”
She added the latter words quickly, as if
fearing that he should misunderstand the
import of her wish; and again they looked
into each other's eyes in silence.
‘Very well,” he said, “I will go.”
And then they said good-bye. The under
standing between them was complete, al
though no word of compact had been spoken.
She was to be faithful to her father, aud lie
was to wait until the father spoke.
ay, he would wait all his life.
And lie had no doubt that after this trip of
tiie Mermaid, a little conversation with
f-apiain Duncan would enable him to
arrange matters satisfactorily. With that
conviction lie went merrily ou his way.

Before Dick bad finished his observation,
the gentleman had ascended the staircase
and entered the dwelling at the top. There
he was saluted by an eldiltch cry—
"Ye hao come at last, ye deevil's buckle.

This came from an old woman who was
seated in an old-fashioned arm-chnlr. Sho
woro a high while “mutch,” which rendered
her shrivelled features and shrunken eyes
the more marked; and the passion on the
face at this moment made it appear more
haggard than it naturally was.
Tito lumpish dandy was not at all disturb
ed. II s mother, Bell Cargill, had b en
paralyzed in her lower limbs for ton years
past; and although she was always expect
ing to recover and making hornrrangements
for that event, it had not yet come to pass.
She was constantly tilling her neighbors
what she would do when she “got up,” ami
they kindly humored her hope, and the hope
sustained her. She had been one of the
briskest and strongest or the fish-wives, and
by a singular business tact had been suc
cessful lo a drgnea most beyond precedent.
Although living in Mils poor dwelling, sur
rounded by her creels and fishing-tackle—it
was her humor to have all the relics of her
trade about her—she possessed a consider
able fortune, tho result of her own energy
and industry. Bawbees had grown to shil
lings in her hands, and shillings to pounds.
Then, whilst she still carried her creel, sho
lmd started a small fishshop in tho High
Street, Edinburgh, and out of that had
grown two large flshmongery establish
ments, one at the West End, and the otliel
in tho main thoroughfare leading to New
ington. She had been careful in the selec
tion of her managers, and sho had prosper
ed.
She had once said—but she never repeat
ed it—that the only mistake she ever made
was in getting married; and tho only good
her man had ever done her was in “deeing
sune.” But he had left her with a son as
useless as himself.
Notwithstanding all her prosperity, she
clung to the abode In which she had been
brought up, and out of which she had rea)>
ed everything. Her son, however, had dif
ferent ideas.
“You see, mother, I was detained by——”
“Can ye not, speak your native tongue,
you idiot? What’s the use o' puttin’ on
your fine airs wi’ me?” cried Bell irately.
“I really thought that 1 was speaking my
native tongue as far as I knew it, moiher;
but if there is any other form which will
pleiico you better I shall be happy to adopt
It,” he answered, taking a chair and seating
himself on it carefully, as if he feared that
it might break under him.
The old woman eyed him all over, Rnd
the twinkling of her eyes snowed teat sue
had a secret pleasure in his grand appear
ance, although she maintained her queru
lous manner.
“Weel, you hae a guid Seo!ch tongue in
your head if you would only mak, ose o’ it;
but you’ll do naething usefu’. You just
spend, and spend, and spend.”
“If you would aliow me,” lie said in a lazy
way, “I am quite willing to take the man
agement of Die business-”
“Catch me lettin’ ye do that. 1 gie 1 ye a
tether o’ three months, and if I had gi.-n ye
three mail- there wouidna hae been ae pen
ny to clink agin anitlier let; us.”
“Very well,” lie said, shrugging his heavy
shoulders, “X am content. Only don't blame
me.”
“Na blame you, yo lazy loon! Oh, wait
till I get up; and it’ll na by langnoo or that.
Na blame yon 1 If ye had been half a man
ye would hae been the greatest tislinieicliam
in the kintry by this time.”
“But X don’t want to bo a fishmonger."
lie said as before, and folding Ids hands on
his paunch.
“Fish-merchant, I said, anil malr shame
toyel Isitna the grandest trade and the
bravest trade in the world? Can ye na think
o’ what it, means—men’s lives glen to feed
the livin’? And can ye na think what it has
been to you? Wliaur would your bomiie
claes come frae anil your rings, and your
watches, anil your breast-pins if it liadna
been for the fish?”
“1 am quite ready to make my acknowl
edgement to each particular fish if you'll
only tell me their names,” be answered
coolly, as he re-adjusted a horseshoe pearl
breast-pin.
She was exasperated by his coolness and
made a movement as if she would rise, but
fell back on her chair with the old cry—
“Wait till I get up and I’ll set ye abonnlo
dance, my braw lad—you tbatcanna come
to see me ance in a month, cause ye’re
shamed to he seen amangthe folks that ken
whaur yonr braw duds earn frae. But bide
ye. I’m gauu to hae the lawyer here and
I’ll settle ye. And I'm gaun to hac Bo
Boss as a witness-”
"Bob Boss!” muttered Cargill, for the
first time roused from his lethargy; “he’s
eternally turning up where he isn’t wanted.”
“Ay, it’s like you to miscii’ folk that are
better than yourscl’. lie looks after them
that belangs to him whiles ye gang aff to
your grand chambers in Edinbro’ and Lon
don, and are feart folks should ken you got
your siller faire the ptiir auld fish-wife that
ye leave here.”
His lethargic nature was not capable ol
burning into a flame; but the spare which
she had thrown into it by the mention of
Bob Boss had stirred the embers into a
glow, and this last shaft elicited a spark.
. “You know quite well, mother. I *iave
pressed you often enoug.i to leave this
place-”
“Leave this place!” sho cried angrily,
“where everything was won—na likely.”
“Very well. I don't try to force you, ami
I don’t think it is fair that you should grum
ble at me becaasc you are here.”
“It’s because of you that I am here. But
wait till I get up and I’ll settle ye.”
“Well, well, let that be. 1 want to talk
to you about this arrangement with the
captain.”
•A}, ay, mutterea tuo out woman wnu
greedy eyes, her whole manner to him sud
denly changing as it she were about to
make a bargain with him. “What abooi
that? What aboot that'.'”
‘‘He lias no objection to the match pro
vided we can show money enough to start
with, and lie will settle everything upon his
daughter.”
‘ That’s capital,” cried the old woman
gleefully and quite reconciled to her sou,
forgiving in that moment all his extrava
gances. “Bat the lass-wliat did the lass
say?”
“1 have not asked her yet.”
Bell Cargill leaned back In her chair and
Stared at her son, gasping.
‘‘Ye idiot—do you no ken that was the
first tiling ye should liae dune?”
“I shall have plenty of tims for that,” was
the placid answer. “Murray has got a cargo
for Peterhead and 1 am going witli him;
i tnd she will be there of cours •• But in any
1 cose she wou’d not say no when her father
si*Id ye*—she U accustomed to tlio word 01

The mother looked at hor son admlrlnglv
a most tor the lirsf. time.
"Weel,” she said, chuckling, “there’;

fine. Tou'll hue her n’to yoursoi', noil i

Bell wanted him. He would have wiili.vd
up and entered the room with no other cere
mony than the unnecessary question—
"Are ye at Imme, mistress? ’
On the present occasion, however, hear
ing that her son was with her he shrunk
hack, and would have been glad to escape
from his promised visit altog -ther. Cargill
ami he had never been friendly, although
there was no open enmity between them.
B it now lie felt an almost unconquerable
lislike to meet tin* man. At any rate there
was no need to meet him except when
necessary, and that necessity was to arise
soon enough.
Their relations to each ether were now
clearly defined; they were both fighting for
tlie same prize—the otiowilh Ids money, the
other with bis love. Cargill, the dandy ele
phant, regarded Bob II ss, the pilot, with
contempt, that might easily devolope into!
hatred—If it had not already done so; Boss
regarded him with simple dislike and a das
sire to avoid him.
There coil'd be no pleasant encounters be
tween two men holding such a position to
warns each other.
That was why Boss sent Dick to nsk If he
were wanted, much to tlio surprise of Boll,
who was unaccustomed to such ceremonies.
“Cry to him to come up," washer quick
answer to Dick; "lie could lmecomo him
sol’ to speer.”
Cargill for a moment hesitated whether
or not he should leave; but, desirous of dis«
covering what ids mother had wauled with
K iss, decided to remain.
He nodded with lymphatic placidity to
the visitor as lie entered.
"How are you to-day, Mistress Cargill?-’
asked Boss—lie was the only one who call
ed lior Mistress Cargill; to everybody else
about the placo she was still Bell, or Bell
Cargill.
"Brawlys, brawlys, thank ye for sphering.
I’ll sune be up and ahoot lion. But I’m nn
gaun to fash you this afternoon, Boh, not
the lawyers either. I’m garni to tak’ your
counsel, and let the tiling be.”
“I'm real glad to hear tl at, Mrs. Cargill.
You would have been sorry for it after
wards.”
"I'm na sure o’ that yet. Ilows’evor,
Joems has done something at last; he’s to
marry a la-s wi’ a tocher, ami that’s satis
feein’ in a kind o’ way. But when I get
about r.ivsel' I'll ken better what to die.
For tlitilimn being there's nae need to fash
oursel's. I'm obieeged to you. a’ the same,
and you were right enough to say that lie
would lutisfeo me yet.”
"What is all this about, mother?” broke
in Cargill, who very mecli disliked being
called "Jecnis” at all times, and especially
now.
“Never you heed, Jcents'. You may thank
your frion’ B ib, that you didna ken a’ aboot
It afore noo.”
"1 am sure I era extremely obliged to Mr.
Boss for any kindae-s ho lias been good
Chough to do me, but-”
"Will ye drip that, ve fool, and speak

Kell.
"But I should like you to explain," be
went on stolidly.
“Th"ii I’ll nn explain naethlng till I'm

arc ye gaun to be af or next. Bob?”
"lam o take the Mi:rmahl to lYlerhead
next,” was the quiet answer, but not with
out a seer, t feeling of satisfaction that lie
could give this rub to Cargill.
It was more than a rub—it v. aa a blow.
Cargill's p'.uffy cheeks and snmll.priituding,
dai* eyes—fish’s eyes—were inrapub'e of
expression: but they cmid show the signs
ol biliousness, and at this moment they
looked very bilious. Ilis voice, however,

said—

next trip?”
"Ay, I believe so. But I have to go now.
mistress, as you are na needing me. Good
day. mistress—good day, Mr. Cargill.”
Glad to escape, lie sprang down the stair.
But he had not gone many steps when he
heard a plethoiic voice behind him.
“I want to speak to you, Boss?”
It was Cargill who had followed him in
stantly.
“I’m in rather a hurry, Mr. Cargill, as 1
ought to have been koine two hours ago.”
"1 ran walk with you. The matter is one
of great importance to you.”
"What Is it?” inquired B is», slackening
bis pace, so that tlie other might witli more
ease and dignity keep up with him.
“That is to say, I think it of great import
ance to you; possibly you may think other
wise.”
“What is T?”
“I. have a friend who is the head of a firm
of shipowners, and lie told me that they are
in want of a man who should be himself a
pilot, to take general charge of all tlie nr
rangements witli the pilots for their ships,
He w- uid have a permanent engagement al
a good salary, and it struck me that yoi
were tlie very mail for tlie post.”
‘1 might be." was tlie reply with a sob
dned smile, which Cargill did not observe.
"You would be. Why should you waste
your time in such feiry boats as the Mer
maid when you have such a chance as tins?
For you have only to say tin* word and lean
almost promise tiiu!. you shall be tlie man
etc sen.”
“And when would I be wanted?”
“Well, as I undeistand, yo l would have
to lie at the ufllie in two or three days.”
"I doubt it cannot come my way.”
"Why not?”
"Because I have to go with the Sfcr
maUl.”
"Uli, you can easily get out'of that en
gagement. I will undertake to arrange it
for you.”
"Thank you, but I promised to go and 1
ain going. Moreover, I like to manage mj
own business.”
"Then you refuse?”
“I am not clear that that there tsanythtng
to refuse except to break my word, and I do
refuse to do that.”
“Oil, very well,” said Cargill loftily, “a*
you please. I thought to render you a ser
vice, ami 1 can assure you such a chance i»
not likely to full i i vmir wav again.”

“German
Syrup”
A Throat
and Lung
Spoclalty,
Those who have not
used Boschee’s Ger
man Syrup for some
severe and chronic
trouble of the Throat
and Lungs can hard
ly appreciate what a truly wonder
ful medicine it is. The delicious
sensations of healing, easing, clears
ing, strength-gathering and recover
ing are unknown joys. For Ger
man Syrup we do not ask easy cases.
Sugar and water may smooth a
throat or stop a tickling—for a while.
This is as far as the ordinary cough
medicine goes. Boschec’s German
Syrup is a discovery, a great Throat
and Lung Specialty. Where for
years there have been sensitiveness,
pain, coughing, spitting, hemorr
hage, voice failure, weakness, slip
ping down hill, where doctors and
medicine and advice have been swal
lowed and followed to the gulf of
despair, where there is the sickening
conviction that all is over apd the
end is inevitable, there we place
German Syrup. It cures. You are
a live man yet if you take it. •
