Il wm ft damp, lowery morning in

stats and heavy over the Scottish hill;

home, blest with Fergus Granger
lu e.
Not even the blockade of the En
glish had prevotneil the almost daily
visit of the minister or Mrs. Granger;
and lruquoiitly the latter would take
over large bundles of work und stay
until her sewing was completed.
Once or twice the general caused the
inspection of the lady's pretty covered
work basket, laughingly declaring
that he only did it for the pleasure of
assisting her to mount her steed a
shaggy Shetland pony, not remarks.
bliMbr his beauty, but are-footed and
vigorous. After this she fearlessly
carried her basket, which was a large
one, and innumerable packages, of ev
ery shape, and no search was made
and no questions asked.
This day the lady had stopped a
usual at tho Kuglish encampment, and
the giuierul himclf had agisted her to
dismount lor a few moments, and to
remount.
General Monk was a thorough Rn
glishman, polito and court 1" iu his
manners, particularly to ladles. The
minister's wife had made quite an im
pression on his mind, from her uni
form cheerfulness, her line horseman
sliip, and her lady like demeanor.
On this morning the general had
asked her where her usual bundle of
work was, and received for an answer
that she had left it tho day before, and
was now coming to tho castlo for it.
When, an hour or two after, he saw
her icturn with a large bundle, he
smiled and pointed to it as she passed.
She a "o smiled, and, touching- the
luillit !' lint' l'lillll(r.slirL tn lior nnnv'g
bu-k, she galloped ofl', Inwardly re
Joicng in a fortunate escape.
Jf.iurc goes a pretty woman, said
the general to an oflicor.
" that the reason you did not
i search the big package which she car
ricu? Metl. inks I have seen a peasant
v.xunn undergo a closer scrutiny from
. our men than this fair lady was sub
j -cied to."
-Doubtless. You know, May wood,
that I cannot resist the sirens. I be
lieve tint I should absolutely abaudon
th s did a pretty woman ask me to."
"I do not doubt it in the least, and
if tho minit-tor's wife was aware of
this she would probably ask vou."
Tho lady by this time was far off
among tho hills, and, as she reappear
ed after bemg invisible for a while,
they could see her looking back to
wards the encampmout, ana then urg
ing her steod into a quicker pace, ihe
was lost from thoir eight.
"The minister of Klunoff must be a
hippy man," eighed Col. Wilmer.
"iat countenance must shed a bright
light over a dreary Scottish manse
among these wild hills. But, general,
when do you raise this siege? Are
you not, tued of holding watch over
thee dogged Scotch Presbyterians
with their sour faces, aud lousr, lank

"Not a bit of it, colonel ; I rather

''But this castlo what i Uks idea
ot ronquering thii?'
"For the treasure which is doubt
le concealed beneath its arches. Then
too, the tegaliu. which ihe.-e Scotch
men alue as they do their purport to
heaven! and which we hum obtain,
peaceably if they will, but forcibly if
we mihl; it winild be a feather iu
our Kuglih cups if we could but get
it."
The iege continued. The castle was
guariied on every side. The ministers

to visit the castle without a seaich of
her persuu, u that no food should be
conveyed, even in small quantities, to

she must discontinue this, or submit
to be searched, which she would not.
Bay by day the defence grew weak,
er, for now the provisions were de
creasing. There wasadesperatestrug'
gle in the heart of Ogi Ivy. Had it been

pined ; but those precious lives those

his "bra Ye soul revolted at; aud he at
last, wrote the articles of capitulation,
which were accepted.
Accepted but never fulfilled by tlie
treaohorous Sothron for no treasure,
no precious and coveted regalia were
found; and for this Ogilvy and Jii.s
wife were imprisoned and even tor
tured, to make them discover where it
was concealed. Nor did the minister
and his wife escape from their indig
nities. The packages were remem
bered ; aud furious at the idea of be
ing outwitted by a woman Mrs. Gran
ger was subjected to a series of perse
cutions, which no spirit of less courage
and composure than her'a could have
endured.
"The minister's wife foiled you, gen
eral," said Wilmer.
"Foiled met By St. George, I think
she mther fooled me! Who would
have thought that free and courteous
bearing could conceal so much decep
tion. But they are all alike; aud all
deceptive.1
"Ah! general. I say not io. My little
Mary is innocence itself."
"But tills lofty lookta; parsonneu,
she shall be punished."
And so she was, and her friends
with her. It was agony to Alice to
see her husband dealt with by the
fierce soldiery, but her couragooiu
spirit was cheered by the patient man
ner in which he bore it
Released from temporary imprison
ment, the friends gladly clustered once
more about the ample chimney of the
manse. Tidings still continued to
reach their ears of cruelties practiced
upon the Moss troopers.
As yet the regalia had not been dis
covered, although numerous persons
claimed to know the placa of conceal
ment. Some believed it had been car
ried abroad by Sir John Keith. Oth-
era that they were yet hiddeu In some
secret place in the castle.
The minister's family had assembled
around the broad hearth one dull No
vember afternoon, and with them the
ex-governor of Dunotlar, his wife aud
littleFlora. Mrs. Gi-angerwas telling
of her numerous interviews with tho
general, ana r lore, listening, open
mouthed to the conversation.
"What was it that you were guard
ing?" asked the child.
Mr. Granger got up and looked out
of the window. No one was in fight,
and a rain had commenced.
We shall have no visitors to-day,
Alice. Let us go show Flora what
you brought from the castle."

cloaks and hats, and they followed Mr.
