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

Adm i:.'ted his eyes with a siupePci
lurk, and answered very quietly, "1

"Horne!" cried Mr. Fairbrother,

"N't my home!" said Adam., glowtj
dropping back In his seat like or.c
dumbfounded.
"Not my'home! Tld you say that ihi;

brsdnc up. "Why, woman, 1 was bon

Then there was a grins silence for a
moment. Old Adam gripped eonvul- !
slvely at the staff he leaned on, and
aU but as loud as the ticking of the
clack was the beating of his Mart.
"God give me patience." be said.
"Tea. I'll bear it meekly. Hutu," he
aid. huskily, "I'U not trouble you.

and ssy. 'I am your husband. I gave j

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

have my Hons left to me yet. She Is not

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.

Asher. without, any nalutatkm, an-

Mrs. Fairbrother. with lier mornir.j
apron to her eyes, "and cursed the da

"But she Is turning me out of th

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."
