I HAIDER FAIR. DT CHARLES QIBB02T* 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. CHAPTER IV.

I nae kent ye since you were a bairn running barefoot here in the Kow, and you maun Just thole me saylnr Jeems to the end.” 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. What s keepit ye? Walt or I getup and I’ll learn ye manners. Did I not say that ye was to be here at twa o'clock and noo It’s 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 command.” The mother looked at hor son admlrlnglv a most tor the lirsf. time.

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 like an ord’nar body?” almost scream -tl Kell.

What 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, expressed neither passion nor surprise as ho said— "Oh, you are to take the Mermaid on her 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.

Y. “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. • THE BEST FOR EVERY PURPOSE. RELIEVES nil Btom.icli Dlatrom. j REMOVES Namou, Benso of FoQlMI% Cokoestion, Pais. REVIVES Faimso ENERGY.
