Neither , IC , the truth must be i told , did I ware any great love upon hIm at any time When we Cell out . as we did often bo would pursue after me and beat me : but mostly I c011led ] ! hIm with stones , whereat I ball the advantage , being ever straIght of eye and sure ot aim , whereas Sandy was gleyell and threw stones like a girl , for all line stoutness at his arm. , But that Is not to say like \Ialsle : Lennox who was Anthony I.ennox's daughter and " could throw stones like any one. She IIve-.1. ot the Lesser Iuchral' ) , above the Blackwater . I lived at Earistoun on the hillside above the Ken , which Is a far step Cram the Duchrae ; but our fathers were of the one way oC thlnk- Ing . and . being cousins by some , former ul- 11anco and friends of an ancient kindliness . . it so happened , as I say , that Made : Lennox " and I plaYEd much together. Adsa my mother had great tenderness of heart for mho bit ' lass that had no mother , anti a father us often on the moors with the wild fowl as at borne with his one little maid. For , the times were very evil how evil and contrary they were we that had been born since 1660. and knew nothlllg else , could but dImly lIIulerstollll. Par , though tear and unrest abode In our homes liS constant . stant Indwellers with the fear of the troopers and plunderers yet because It had always been so It seemed not so hard to us Indeed wo bairns of these years played at covenant- ing , as It had been the game of "Scots and English " on the hillside , even from the time wo first could run alone Well do I mind that day when I pleaded : and neechetl on my father to take me before i him on Gay Oarlallli as he rode to the Dllchrao. It was a brisk May day with an , air vIgorous as a draught of wine yet cool i I clear and sweet as spring water Is-OJ pearl ot a day , such as hardly seems to come In these later years. So I cried on my father to take me And as his manner was , 110 told me Inquire of my mother But I desired rather that hI' should oak for mo Idmself so I lingered ahou' e doors till he should ride forth upon Ills great black horse so that he might l > 1\te1l mo up behloIm \ on the cantle and ( ' y : .

While I bided there Alexander my brother , seeing me , wait ! . . . . called Ill' to come . with nlln 10 the 1111I. But because my heart . was set to ride with my father I had no I Aeslreto go to the rabbit huntll g. SQ when he saw that I would not company J with him , ho mocked me and called me "l.assle boy ! Whereupon I smote hIm incontinent - continent with u round pebble between the shoulder blades and he pursued ale to the , , Ilallan dour within which was roil \ mother ' looking tu the maids and the ordering of ; , the house. From thence I mocked him , hut under my l'r.Ih. for fear that for 1Il-l1olng my , , moth ' r 'Ilould not permit mo to go to the Duchrae. "Stablo boy !

" ' I1t least so the vlcturo . rises before me as I write So my father , William Gordon ' of Earls- tOlllJ ( , ratio away through these sweet helms and wlnllln paths south toward the Duch. rae. Nowhere Is the world , to my thlnlllng , so gracious as between the green woodlands of garlstoun and the gray Unehrao Craigs I'cr the pool of the water of Ken slept ) , now black now sliver beneath \IS. It was deep set about with the feathers of the birches , and had the green firs standing bravely like men-at.arms In every rocky 101011. Then te slrath out and saw Ken flow ! ! ope.ned ou . we .I e. _ . ! sllver-clenr between the greenest and Ilow cr- lest banks In the world The Black Craig of Dee gloomed ] on our right side ns we rode sulky with last 'ear's heather , amid the great Kells range sank behhlll us . ridge behind ridge of hills whose very names make a storm of m mllslollIlyea.lIIhlowlI. : : . 1I11llnre , Corscrlne , and the haunted fastnesses of the \Ieanll : \ of Garryhorn In the head at Cars- Ilhnlrn. Not that my father saw any oC this for he minded only hIs riding and his prayers ; hut even then I was ever taken up with what I had better have et ] alone. But I may Ira excused If the memory rises unhidden - hidden now before the dimmer eye of one that lakes a cast back Into his youth tell- lug the tale I1S best he may , choosing here and there , like a dart ) ' child , only that which Ilk ethi hIm best. In a little we clattered through the well- thatched roofs of New Galloway and set Gay Garland's head to the southward along the svaterside where the levies of the loch arc wont to open oat non ; you blue and broad and bonny. All that go that way know the place. Gay Garland ] was the name oC my father's black horse that had many a time and oft darned him In safety , and was loved ] like another child hy my mother and nil of us. I have heard It saId In that praying society of which he was a grave and con- Istent member , my father was mice called In question because he gave so light a name to his beast. "Ye have wives of your own , " was all the answer he made them " 1 suppose they have no freits but such as you arc rEally to be answerable for this day " But when my mother heard of thIs she sJIII : : "Ay William thy excuse was but old and lame ] , even that of our first father Adam = The woman thou gayest me she called my horse Gay Garland. . " I suppose that today Ken flashes as clear and the heather blooms as bonny on the Den- nan sll1e. But not for are . for I have laid away so many that I loved In the howe of the Glen sInce then and seen so many places of thIs Scotland red \vlth a crimson the heather lIever made. Ah me , for the times that were and far all that Is come and gone , whereof It shall bc mine to tell ! But wc came at long and last to the Duch- I I rae which Is a , sweet bit house , BlUIng on a south.looklng braeface though not It lalrd's castle . .1I1e the tower of Ear1stoun. Maisie Lennox < met us at the loaning : foot , whereat I begged my father would put me down that I might run barefoot : with her. And I think lilY father was In nowise unwilling , for a : 12 = ' year-old callant on the saddle before one Is 110 comfort though Gay Garland bore : me ' lkQ 'a feather. So z.ialsle Lennox and I fell eagerly a-talk. Ing together after our first chili of silence I I having many things to sa ) ' . But as soon as f war we reached the Cralgs wo ' vent to I our fantasy It was an old game with us like the sand houses we build In baIrns' 111ay 'Va drew lots long stalk and short stalk ] which of us should bo the wanderer. 'Malslo Lennox won the lot-as she always did . for I had no good fortune at the draw- Ing or cuts. So she went to hide In sonic bosky bouroch or 1II0ss-hag , while I bode still among the hazels at the woodelde accoutring myself as a trooper with sword and pistol of wood Then I rode forth crying loud cOlllmands and sending my soldiers to seek out all the hhlll..hoies by the watersides and under all the tussocks ] of heather on the benty brows at the black mosses. Thelll , Maisie I.ennox began : to cry after tile ml\l\ner \ of the hunted hill fox-pceplng like mho nestlings or the emir birds , cralklng like the' blrl1 of ( the corn laughing like the jaeksnlpe-ond all with so clear a note and such brisk assurance that she had Imposed upon Torn Dalyell himself. After seeking long In vain , I spied the fugitive hilling behind a peat casting on the edge of the moss and Immediately ] cried on the men i to shoot. So those that were nnen- ' at-amine of my command pursued after and cracked muskets as the Wanderers Joollell allli ned before us. Yet. cumhered with cay airy as I was on the soft bog land , the light oat enemy easily escaped mI. Then when I saw well that catch her I could not , I sat down on a heather bush allli cried out to her that It was a sllh' game to pay ] , and that we should begin something else So she stopped and came back slowly minder the heather. What I lilted at all times IIhout lIInlsle Lennox was that she never tauntell back ] but only tool her own way when she wanted It-and sumo mostly dll1- silently . as If there were no other way In the world. For fn all things she had an excellent , cl'lIcnt humor of silence , which , though I knew It not then , Is rarer and worthier than dlamonls. , Also she know what It seems to me a woman hut rarely knows , when It Is worth while maIling a Maud to gain her will So after wo played yet another game : hiding together In the hags and crawling from bent bush to rush clump with mighty caution and dlscCl'llment , maIling believe that mho troops : sought us both. For this was the favorite bairns' lllay everywhere In the west and south. Once when wo mine near te the house ( Ga ) ' Qarlallll followed us , huvlllg been turned out on the Dnchrao home par ] ' . He ran : tome me liS ho ever did for furlllh"S , anti ( I fed 111m with crumbllngs out of my jacket pocket- "moollngs" Ial1lle Lennox called them- which he ale out ot my hand : a pretty thing 10 see In eo noble a beast : Then he fol- lowell us about III our Iddtngs begging sal ( sornlrl for morc. Title outdo him not II lit- tle troublesome , till wo would have sent hIm back But Gay Garland was a beast not e slly turned. . After a while we came 10 the little wood ot Mount Pleasant where I saw some red rags lIulterlng on a bush I was for going aside to see what they might be , but Ialslc lsnnox cried out to lI\e to turn back : " : rhero are peOlllo hereabouts that are not verr chan'cy.

" And Bhe went forward ' eagerly/ keeping on the broad track IIlrongh the grau. We had nol gone n hundred yards when wo came upon another sheep In like case , and then 11) time ford ot the Black Water on yet an- other. I asked Ialsle Lennox if I wo should not KO home anti lodge Infermnllons , "They'll get ewer far a\\'ay . . , " WaS all she " said "But you are not feared at them ? " I asked , marvelling at the lassie for even our Sandy that ( counted hlmelf so bold " , and ' coulll lift a bullock slung In a sheet with his tl'cth. had thought twice before following ! Jock Marshall : and his hJllll : for flue sake of an orra sheep I or two But \Ialsle : Lennox only turned 10 me In a curious say In which there sEemed something at contempt "Fearadt" ! she 8ahl. "What for should \ I 00 feared ? The sheep arc my father's but gang you back gin yo be feared. . ' So for very shame I answered that I was feared none-which was a great III : , for I had 1 given [ 100 ( Scots ! ) to have been able to turn hack with some credit , hut we went along the broad troll boldly enough and Gay Garland - land ] trotted oose.Coot ] after us . sometimes stoppIng to crop the herbs by mho way and anon coming dancing to timid ns , at which I was glad , for It was at least some conmany besides the lassIe. Soon WI : came to a link ot the path by the water side . at a place that Is called the Tlnlcr's ] Loup , where these sorters allll limners - mers were mostly wont to congregate There was blue smoke risIng behhlll the knowe , and Maisie Lennox took a straIght path over mho hl'ather : toward It. I wondered to see the lass. She seemed Indeed not to know fear "They arc my ather's sheep , " she sahl. So to the top we ca.mo and looked ] Iown There was a whole camp beneath 118. Dirty low rt'eky trams were set here amid there amId llnKlt'r's ' s burrons feeding In till hOllelV below We stood so still on time knowe.top that I think WI must have cared them n little. We were by a gap In the bushes , and the 1I1 . doers seeing no more of us , thought , no doubt , that there must bo more Mhtnd or two bairns had never been so bold I think too , that time very want of arms daunted them , for they drew back and seemed to consult together , 08 'th ugh uncertaIn what to (10. ( Then a great , loose . bearded . \lnken\lt ! man . with long swinging arms . wholll I took to bo Jock Marshall , the chief Inkier ( and captain - tats or their gong , pointed 10 them to scatter . ter round the little knoll , no doubt wIth the purpose of making observations and cutting us orr. "Who may you be ? " lie cried , looking UI" at us . "HIght well you know , " Malslo saId , very loud and clear speaking : like 1\ ml.lI ! ler III the lent at a field preaching ; "I am Anton 'I.ennox of the 'Duchrae's daughter , whose sheep re have boiling , ; In your pots-and that after being well served with meal at the door , anti ' Iou ling low for thonlfuhless.

About a couple of fires , with pots over them bubbling 3nc1.steamlr.g. little clouds at wild-looking folk were gathered. Some hall bones In their hand , which they thrust Into the fire for a minute and then took out again to gnaw at the burned portion. Tat- tered women looked within the pots , A man threw a knife at . a bay , which struck him on the side. The boy cried out and the blood ran down , but none took any heed of the ( complaInt or to the clrculIIstance. For a moment Maisie Lennox stood still and looked at rue Tlen oho went a step or two forward , and her face was white and angerel1. I saw she was about to speak to them , yet for my life I could not keep her 'from II. "Sheep stealers ! " she c-Iel : "vagabonds ye shall hang for this ! Not for naught shall ye harry on honest map's , sheep. I ken yon , Jock Marshal qnd all your crew The Shlrra shall hear of this before tomorrow's morn ! " The encampment stood still at 'gaze , look- Ing UII at us . like a show painted on a screen while one might slowly ] count a score. Then Babel broke loose.
