CHAPTER VI.
A W1I.D NIGHT.
Although the afternoon hud brightened in
to summer, the evening changed to winter.
Slowly the sky darkened ns ttie sun s't in a
misty glory behind the hills, and clouds
gathered. The re-t’rss wind, which had
only abated during the day, again rose, at
first in a low monotone moving the clouds
slowly along, but by-and-by it came sweep
ing up the Firth in great gusts and singing
ew Id duct with the heaving waters, wnilst
the clouds hurried hither and thither with
increasing rapidity, and the mooncouldonly
occasionally send a silver gleam through
the darkness.
“It'll be a geyblaw the-nicht,” said the
fisher-folk, to whom every sound and sign
of wind, water, and clouds had its mean
ing.
“I doubt if they’ll win out,” they said
again, with anxious looks at the angry sky.
They referred to the fishing fleet which
nightly started on its perilous adventures.
But there was no fear in the manner of re
garding tlie gathering storm; only calm re
cognition of an ordinary fact in their dark
lives, with possibly some sense of Incon
venience and loss due to the present state
of ilie elements. The weather indicator, in
the little square fronting one side of the
harbor—placed there with the kindliest in
tentions by some benevolent person—was
rarely consumed. By most it was looked
upon as a sort of curious toy. ‘‘Just the
weather box.” said some, as if tempest and
calm were locked up in it They looked to
nature herself for guidance In their calling,
and seldom thought when they “went out”
that they might never come back; a blessed
condition of the mind which enables us to
do our duty in the teeth of danger.
Women as well as men take their lives in
the same way; never a thought of what may
come; and only a short sharp cry in toe
heart with an outwardly dumb sorrow when
the worst befalls. Then to work again; not
a boat or a man the less goes out to sea; trot
a woman the less ready to do iter work on
shore. The life goes on just as if no hing
had happened, whether it be a single smack
or a fleet that toundeis. T.tere are more
mouths to fUi and therefore more work to
do. There is no time frontward wailing.
What goes on within—G'd knows.
In the parlor of Anchor Cottage the cap
tain was comfortably smoking his pipe and
drinking toddv; seated in a hig liirh-baoked
nrnt-chair, a cheery lire burning at bis feet.
Annie at the table was busy with accounts
which siie was anxious to dispose of before
going to bed.
The wind made a loud moaning round the
walls, but never a window or door shock,
everything had been made so truly firm.
Tnis was a house built to stand and not to
sell.
Neither father nor daughter paid heed to
tlie s o:m. He was busy with his pipe and
his toddy, delighting himself in watching
her sil mt diligence in work.
So they had l ceu occupied for some time.
Then he showed symptoms of restlessness,
*ml at long li spoke.
"Will you be soon done, Annie? I want
to speak to you.”
It happent U that she had a .very clear no
tion of wlmt ho wished to speak to her
about, and also that she did not wish to hear
it. So she answered—
"It will take me a long while yet, father;
n>spb“, till bedtime.”
She pioceeded with renewed energy to ex
amine books and papers and to calculate
figures, and lie remained silent, respecting
her task and valuing its results.
By-.md-by he became restless again?.
‘Are ye na nearly done yet?” he inquired
‘III make some stuplrl blunder If you
Ke*P°n sp akiug, father.”
_ "'1 lien stop afore you make the blunder,
Because 1 maun speak to you about a mnt
that lias been rumblin’ in my inside a’
this afternoon.”
Thus commanded she knew that no fur
ther evasion of the disagreeable subject was
possible without getting her father into one
ot Ins passions—and they were frequent
aimurli and furious enough to make her
” to sacrilice her own comfort in any
»ay to avoid one of them. She la.d down

for there are many lads that would be glaii
to take you from me. na for yourseP, but
for what you would bring wl’ you. Sae It
behoves us to consider.”
Annie was still staring Into the lire; bat
now she was also listening to the wind
sough, soughing round the house and mak
ing strange noi-es in the chimney. Maybe
too. she was listening to a voice sho had
heard that day at the gate and thinking of
Its meaning, whilst hearing the echo In her
own breast.
”1 thought yon snid that yon would never
part with me and the Mermaid, father.”
The voice was so soft and the look she
turned upon him so gentle that lie could not
be angry. Nevertheless, lie tried to appear
as one injured, becau e lie felt so keenly
that lie deserved the reproacii expressed so
quietly.
*‘Ia,n oo lo part wl* either o’ you. I was
just putting a question to you, and there
was nae harm in that.”
“Oh 11a”
w eei, me lang and the short o’ It Is this;
there’s a man to,ne the-dav—I’m na gnun
to tell you wha.”- (she smin d; as if she did
not know who! Poor old father!) “And
he says that if you will tako him and I will
pie my consent lie’ll pie you a' your niti way
anil make ower to you at once a fortune. 1
said to him, ’Yon m ran speir at liersel’, my
man.’ lie sa;d he would, and lie's paiin to
do It, and I first wanted to ken aforehand
what you would be likely to say. liut you
are free lo do as you like.’’
‘'You mean Mr. Carpill, father.”
“Elil—hr j did you ken that'.*” exclaimed
the old captain, forgetting in his amazement
even to smoke.
“Easily enough; he was the only man
hero 10-day esc pt—”
"VVeel?” (There was n curious gl’turner
of a smilo on the old man's face as lie put
tlie quest on r quired by h r pause.)
"Except Mr. ltos<, and lie cannot do what
yon sav the other offers to do. Hut I am
afraid that Mr. Carpill is not the man for
me, witli all his wealth and your consent.”
"Oh, then you mean that you’d haesouie
body else without my consent.”
She pot up. took the empty pipe from his
hand and proceeded to fill it with an ex
perienced hand. As she gave it back to him
with a light—
"We’ll 11a talk any mere havers ti-nlght,
father. You ken well enough that 1 will
never take a man that you say nn to; and 1
will never take one that 1 say 11a to, though
you should say yes. Mow that’s all settled.”
"Ay, ay, ami it’s that way, is't,” imittcr
ed the captain to himself, but quite loud
enough for iter to hear. “It’s that way, is t?
We maun see abort that. We maun see
aboot that. An empty purse against a weel
filled one—we maun see aboot that.”
Annie was a little fidgety as liis loudly-ex
pressed reflect!' ns pr ce tiled, and was pla I
when they wer nterrupted by a loud ring
at the bell of ti.e eiitranc --door.
“Wlia can that be at this hour? Hopo
there’s naething wrung wi’ the Mermaid.'’
“Kirsty will soon te 1 us,” said Annie, ar
ranging her pap ws for the night.
“Maister Cargill,” said Kirsty, tho stout
serving-woman, opening the door for the
big lymphatic form to enter.
“I hopo you will excuse me for dropping
In uimn you so late,” lie said, in what lie
thought was a grand nianin r; “I intended
to be here four In urs ago, but was unexpect
edly detained in the town. S ury now I did
not come straight along from the old p ace;
but/was otiligi d to make a call first, and tlio
business rccupiedme muc'i longer than I
expected.”
"Never heel that, sit doon—and get s
glass, Annie. Oil, but you like wine and
seegaars. Very wool; though 1 never med
dle wi’ time tilings invsel’ I line som • wine
that was gi’en me in a present that folk vvoa
ken say there's ltao better in Ed nolo’. Ay,
and 1 line seegaars to match. Clot them out,
Annie.”
Annie obeyed quickly, and tlmn excusing
herself as she was required elsewhere left
the room.
The wme was good and the "seegaars”
were good, as the captain had said, and Car
gill evi teed liis nppn ciuiion of b th.
“And noo,” said the captain when they
were settled down, “how did you come out
011 sic a night?”
"Oil, the night is not so bad in n e'os • cab
with a good horse and a c uvlnl d.iver.”
“And is this man waiting for you? ’ cried
the captain, Ins eyes starting, "and you nev
er thought of seeking a dram for him !”
"I do not line to ei courage tipp tig in
people of his class,” coolly answered the
loutish sybarite ns lie sipped his wine and
smoked his c gar.
There was a movement on tho captain’s
lips as if lie repressed some wor is which
were no doubt of a very emphatic charac.er.
He rang the bell fiercely and ca.led loudly
for Kirsty whilst he filled a class with
whisky.
"Iley, take this to the cabman to keep
liim warm while lie’s waiting.”
"He has jist cam’ for a light tae his lamp
end's at the door,” rep ied the woman ;"pulr
man, he’s sair drookir.”
Then the captain walked about to regain
his temper. Cargill lm<l not moved during
the whole of these proceedings. He smok
ed and drank p'acidly as if they Had noth
ing to do with him, and if these good people
chose to concern themselves with a mere
cabman who would receive Ids full fare and
something over, that was their business.
The driver stood shivering at the door,the
fi-rce gusts of wind threatening to tear Hie
coat from his back, whilst the horse stood
shivering at the gale.
‘•Thank ye, mem; I wish the pair beast
could line a drain tao on sic a night. Here's
your very good health,-’ said 110 man as lie
gratefully ate pled the Captain's liosp lali
ty.
The captain sat down again and resumed
the conversation.
“And now,” he said, "what has brought
you here at this limn'.1'’
“Two tilings, sir.’’ rejoined Cargill slowly,
or lazily, lull did not prueeo !.
“And what may time twa tilings b ?”
There was again that furious movement
on the captain's lips whlo.i laid lir l app air
ed wlieii lie learned that there was a poor
man out in til? cold for whom his employer
laid not tlie least consideration.
“Tli- first tiling, captain—anil it con’d
have wailed (ill to-morrow—is lo tell you
that all the conditions 1 mentioned will he
faithfully carried out. My mother is d
lighted with the idea of the match and says
she will agree to anything in order to brii g
it about. Sic has a high esteem for you,
captain.”
The inan actually could not refrain from |
attempting to patronise even in such a posi
tion as this.
“That's very guid o’ her to say sae, and
Very guid o’ you to tell m \ Hut there was
nae need o’ saying it. for Hell anil me are
nuid aciyiaintancosand wehaeayurespeckit
ane aniiher.”
Cargill felt sore; it was liis great weak
ness that he did not like to be reminded of
the origin of bis fortune or of himself. He
would have done anything to remove his
mother from the midst of iier old associa
tions; but she would not move, and in spile
of all bis efforis they were continually dash
ing in his teeth, as it were.
“She to a wonderful women,” he eaHI
vaguely, as he looked at the culling and
sent a great c'oiul of smoke up to It.
“She Is that,’’Captain Duncan a dd hearth
ly, “and sae far everything is satisfactory.
Non, you line nacthlng malr ado than Jlst
get the lass to isle her consent.”
“Yes but you will help mo with your au
thority.”
“Undoubtedly; I promised that afore—a’
things being agreeable. And this 1 can tell
yon, there never was n more obedient and
faithful bairn In the world than my Annie.”
“Then that being the case we may con*
sldor the matter as good as settled; for 1 am
not afraid of being able to make my* -If

"And what may (hat be?”
“Yi u are taking Iloss with you?'’
“I am that. He is the best man 1 could
find lo keep my mind easy when 1 am rest
ing niysei'. Wlmt’s wrung ab iot that?”
Cat gill rested back in his chair and puffed
meditatively for a few seconds before reply
ing. Then—
• l»o yon moan to say, captain, that you
don’t 8t‘0 v hat Is going on?''
*1 seen heap o’things that arc going on
ami going oft' too. But what particular tiling

‘ Nil. It she ooti d do better. JIols a do

"I have nothing to say about him. Hot
although 1 do not doubt, mys-df, I would
rather yon did not take hint with us on board
t.ie Merino id."
It was the cap'ain’s turn to smoko for a
few s. co dtinsiler.ee. Tlien.d eislvely, ns
if lie had been arguing the whole question
on! in his mind—
“Tlie natter is settled and canna be
changed.”
“lint don’t you see, captain,” urged Car
L'iil in Ids heavy way, trying to be persua

‘‘That’s true.”
But when ho wont away Cargill's mind

when he ar.ived. On that black drive back
