In his Am rigging, was come in Adam's place, and was even now on his way to Castletown to lake possession of Government House, and that the bellowing mob that not a month before had doffed their caps be fore' Adam's face, now ahowed blm est the pavement without . seeing a him, stamped and raved and shook his first over the people, as If he would brain them. They slept at Onchan that night, and nest day they reached Kirk Maughold. And coming on the straggling old house at Lague, after so long an absence, Adam was visibly moved, saying he had seen many a hwmMatloo sine the days when he lived in It, and might the lord make them profitable to his soul; but only let it please God to grant him peace and content and dally bread, and there should be no more going hence In the years that were left to blm. At that Greeba felt a tingling on both sides her heart, for her fuars wore many of the welcome that awaited them. It was nigh upon noon, and the men three when they opened the gate and came down under the elms. "Now, I thought aa much," she said within herself, "and I warrant I know their errand." " Adam entered the house with what cheer of face he could command, being hard set to keep back his tears, and hailed his wife in a jovial tone, al though his voice threatened to break, and sat himself down In his old seat bjr the chimney corner, with his black thorn stick between his knees and his hands resting upon it. Hut Mrs. Fair brother made no answer to his greeting, and only glanced from him to Greeba, who tripped - softly behind him. and from Greeba to Chaise, who came -shambling in after them, vacantly scratching hie uncovered head. Then, drawing, her self up, and holding back her skirts, she eald. very coldly, while her wrin kled face twitched: "And. pray, what 111 wind blowe you here?' "An 111 wind indeed. Ruth." Adam answered, "for it is the wind of ad versity. You must' have heard of our misfortune since tha whole Island now knows of It. Well, It is not for me to complain, for God shapes our waya, and He knows what Is best. But I am an old man now, Kuth. little able to look to niyecif, still less to another, and " While he apoke, Mrs. Fairbrother tapped her foot Impatiently, and then broke In with; - "Cut it ahort. sir. What do you went"" . . Adm i:.'ted his eyes with a siupePci lurk, and answered very quietly, "1 want't't come home, KutU." "Horne!" cried Mr. Fairbrother, jijiiirpiy. "And what horn, if you ples.se?"

"N't my home!" said Adam., glowtj dropping back In his seat like or.c dumbfounded. "Not my'home! Tld you say that ihi; was not my home?" he aid. suddenly brsdnc up. "Why, woman, 1 was bon here; o was my father before me, end my father's father before him.

"Hay 1 took H as my right when all you had was slipping through your fleeere Hfce sand, aireverything does that ever touches them."

I gave j you ail you had, and you are rki and I'm a beggar, and I am old-glv. me , . .t..n,v , hn.rd." 1 Bnt. unable to support any longer the strife for mastery that waa tearing at his heart, he gave way to his wrath, and cried out In a loud voice, 'Out on ycu, woman! Out on you! Ood forgive me the evil day I set eyes on you! Ood forgive me the damned day I took you to my breast to rend It." ' ' While this had been going forward Greeba bad stood silent at the back of her father's chair, with eyelashes quiv ering and the fingers of both hamls clenched together. But now she step ped forward and said, "Forgive him. mother. Do not be angry with htm. He will be sorry for what he has said; I'm sure he will. But only think, dear mother: he la In great, great trouble, and he Is past work, and if this Is not his home, then he Is homeless." And at the sound of that pleadinp voice Adam's wrath turned In part tc tenderness, and he dropped back to tin chair and began to weep. "I am ashamed of my tears, child," he said; "but they are not shed foi myself. Nor did I come here for m own sake, though your mother thinks 1 did. No, child, no; say no more. I'll repcr.t ir,e of nothing I have nal-1 to hei no. not one word. She Is a hard, a cruel wo;nan; but, thank heaven, I have my Hons left to me yet.

At that instant thrc of the ?lx Fair, brothers, Aaher; rtos and Thurstan came in from the stackyard, with llK smell of the furxe rick upon them thai they had been trimming for the cattle. And Adam, without waiting to explain. cried In the fervor of hi;motlon, "Thir Is not you will. Ash:T?'" Whereupon Asher. without, any nalutatkm, an- liwered him, "I don't know what yon mean, sir," arc turned a.-idc. !He has damned your mother." said Mrs. Fairbrother. with lier mornir.j apron to her eyes, "and cursed the da that he married her." "But she Is turning me out of th house." ald Adam. "This house m father's house." "Ak her pardon, sir," Asher mil. tered, "and ttvt will take you back." "Her pard n! God In heaven!" Allan; cried. ' "You are an old man now, '.r,' Thurstan. "And you are poor as well." "Thai's true Thurstan; t'nnt's though y ur brother foigts ,'t." "So you shouli not holJ 'ur Mid true, he:. (3 oo his;!)." "What!
