20 THE OMAIIA DAILY J1EE ; SUNDAY , APRIL 14 , 1895. CHAPTER II. GAY GARLAND COMES SADDLE EMPTY. The night of the 22d of June , 1C70 , shall _ pcver be forgotten among us while Earlstoun house stands. It was the cvo of the day Whereon bcfcl the weary leaguer of Hothwell when the enemy beset the Brig , and the good Ulue Ilanner gat fyled and reddened w " with other dystuff than the brown moss- -water. I mind It well , for I had grown to bo man-mucklc since the day on the Tinkler's Lou'p. " After a day of heat there fell n night like pilch. A soughing wind went round the house and round the house , whispering and groping , like a forlorn ghost trying to find his way within. f t Jf there was a shut eye In the great house of Earlstoun that night , It was neither mine ' * hOr my mother's.Vc lay and thought of them that were over the hill , striving for the Other King and the good cause. And our " thoughts were prayers , though there was none to take the book In Earlstoim that night , for I was never gifted that way. So we ' bedded , without sound of singing or voice of prayer , though I think Jean Hamilton had done It for the asking. I lay In my naked bed and listened all the night with unshut eye. I could hear in my mother's room the boards creak as she ese every quarter hour and looked out Into the rayless dark. Malsle Lennox of the Duchrae , old Anton's daughter , now a well grown lass , lay wl.h her ; and Sandy's young wife , Jean Hamlliin , with her suckling bairn , wag lit the Httie angled chamber that opins off the , turret stair near by. It befel at Ihe back of 1 , or mayhap ber twlxt that and Z , that there came a sound at the neither door that frightened us all. "Rise William ! Haste ye , " cried my mother , with great eagerness In her voice , coming to my door in the dark. "Your father is at the neither door , new llchted doon from Gay Garland. Rise an' let him In ! " And as I sat up on my elbow and hearkened , I heard as clearly as now I hear the clock' strike , the knocking of my father's riding r boots on the step of the outer door. For It was ever his wont , when he came that way , to knap his toes on the edge of the step , that the room floorings might not be defiled with the black peat soil which is commonest about the Earlstoim. I have heard my father tell It a thousand times In his pleasantry , how It was when my mother was a bride but newly come home and notlonate , that she learned him these tricks. For otherwise his ways were not dainty , but rather careless and It may be , even rough. So , as I listened , I heard very clear out side of the IIOUEC the knocking of my fathers feet , and the little hoast ho always gave be fore ho tlrled at the pin to be let In when he rode homo late from Kirkcudbright. Hear ing which wa were greatly rejoiced , and I hasted to draw on my knee breeks , crying : "Bide a wee , folther , an' briskly I'll bevP ye to let ye In ! " For I was a little lame , halting on one foot ever since the affair of Tinkler Dalley , though I think not to any noticeable extent. My mother at the door of her chamber cried : "Haste ye , William , or I maun rln mysel'l" For my father had mode her promise thai she. would not go out of her chamber to meet him at the return , being easily touched in her breast with the night air. So I hasted and ran down ns I was , with my points all untied and not wide open the door. "Falther ! " I cried , as I undid the bolt and act the leaves of the dcor abroad. "Falther ye are welcome hame ! " And I could hear mymother listening above for his foot over the threshold. Yet he came not within xvhlch was a wonder to me. So I went oul upon the step of the nether door , but my father was not there. Only the same strange chill wind went round the house , sighing ant moaning blindly as before , and a stnoor o white fog blew like mulrburn past the door Then my hair rose upon my head and the skin of my brow pricked , because I knew that strange portents were abroad that night "What for does your falther no come ben the house to me ? " cried my mother from the stair head. I could hear her clasping am unclasping her hands , for my ears were quick at taking sounds. "I think he must bo gone to the station with Gay Garland , to stall him beside I'lill- Iphaugh , " I answered , for so my father's old white horse was named , because In his young flays my father had been-at that place on the day * when Montrose and his Htghlandmen got their settling. This Is what I said to my mother , but , Indeed , my thought was far other. I lifted the loaded pistol that lay In the . .aumrlu.by the door check , and went off In the direction of the stable. The door was eliut , but I undid the pin and went within. My father was n there. The horses were moving restlessly and lifting their feet un- eti8ljyt ns they do on ICP , or other kittle footing. Then of a truth I knew there was * , > . something more than canny abroad about Earlstoun that night , and that wo should hear'1lt ! newa on the morning. And when t bundle of reins slipped from the shelf and * ' vfoh 'on""my shoulders , like a man's hand . _ . .tlapplng , on me unaware , I cried out lllte a " Ml * I ON TUB ST15P OK THE NETHER DOOR , frightened hen , and dropped almost to the ground. Yet , though I am delicate and not overly well grown In my bodv , 1 do not count myself a coward , even though my brother Sanday'a courage be not mine , "nilnd eye , hard head" waa ever hli sort , but I love to take my danger open-eyed nd ( standing up and as little of It ai pos sible. At I Wfnt back , which I did Instantly , leaving the stable door swinging open ] heard mymother' * vole ? again. Sh wai Aloud , anj the. sound ot her vr' < was yearning and full like that of 4 young woman , "William ! " she called , and again , "Wil liam ! " Now , though that Is my name , I knew ull well that It was not for me , her son , that she called. For that Is a voice a woman only uses to him who has been her man , and with her has drunk of the fountain of the Joy of youth. Once I shot an easle In Mlllyea , and his mate came and called him even thus , with n voice which was as soft as that of a cushlo- dove In the tall trees n the early summer , till I could have wept with sorrow at my deed. Then as I went In I came upon my mother a step or two from the open door , grop ing with her arms wide opn In the darkness. "O , " she cried , "William , William , the Lord be thanklt ! " and she clasped me to her beart. Hut In a moment she ( lung me from her. "On ! It's you , " she said bitterly , anil went within without another word , her harshness jangling on my heart. Uut I understood , for my mother was al ways greatly set on my father , and once when In Jest we teased her to try her , tell ing her the story of the pious Eneas , and asking her to prophesy to us which on ? of us she would lift , If so it was that the house _ of Earlstoun were In a lowe , "Faith , " said my mother , "I wad tak' your falther on my back , gin a' the lave o' ye had to bide and burn ! " So It was ever with my mother. She was uy father's sweetheart to her latest hour. " But when I went in I found her sitting , sheet-white and trembling , on the settle. "What's ta'en ye , mlther ? " I said to her , putting a shawl about her. " 0 , my man , my bonny man , " she said , "thera's nanc to sleek your e'en the nicht ! V\ " r"l rT | "MAISTEU ALEXANDER IS COMIN * OVER THE BRAE ! " An' Mary Gordon maun Uo her leesome lane1 ( or evcrmalrj" . - "Hoot , mlthcr , " I said , "speak not so , my Talther will come his ways hamo 1' the morn- ln' nao doot , wl' a' the lads of the Kcnslde clatterln' ahlnt him. Sandy Is wl' him , ye ken. " "Na , " she eald , calmly enough , but as one who has other Infomatlons , "Sandy Is no TV I' liltn. Sandy gaeJ through them wl' his held doon and his sword rlnnln * reed.

But your falther I carina see I canna see my man " "Slither , " I said , mostly , I think , for some thing to say , "mind the Guicl Cause ! " She flung her hands abroad with a fine ; o3ture as of icorn. "What cause Is gu'd'tbat twines a woman frae her aln man an * we had teen thCKither three-an'-thlrty year ! " In a little while I got her to lie down , but the most simple may understand how much more sleep there was In Earlstoun that night. Yet , though we listened with all our ears , wo heard no other sound than Just that blind and urklndly wind recstllng and soughing about the house , groping at the doors and trying the lattices. Not a footstep went across the courtyard , not the cry of a bird came over the moors , till behind the ridges of the east the morning broke. Then , when In the gray and growing light [ went down and again opened the door , there , with his nose against the latchet hasp , was Gay Garland , my father's war hors3. He stood and trembled In every limb. He was covered with tne lair of the moss hags wherein ho had sun * to the girths. Dut on his saddle leather , toward the left side , there was a broad splash of blood , which had run down to the stirrup Iron , nnd In the holster on that side , where the great pistol ought to have been , a thing yet fore fear some a man's bloody forefinger , taken off above the second Joint , with a clean drawing cut. cut.My mother came down the turret stair , fully dressed , and with her company gown upon her. When she saw Gay Garland standing there at the door with his head between his knees , she did not seem to be astonished or afraid , as she had been during the night. She came near to him and laid a hand on his neck. " 1'ulr beast , " she said , "ye have had sere travel. Take him to the stable for water and corn , and bid Jock o' the Carpel rise. " The dark shades ot the night were flown away , and , my mother spoke quietly and firmly , ns was her wont. Much In times bygone had we spoken about sufferings In the house of Earlstoun , and , lo ! now they were come home to our own door. CHAPTER HI , SANDY COMES OVEIl THE HILL ALONE. The HOUJOat Earlstoun sits bonny above the waterside , and there are few fairer waters In this land than the Ken water , Also It looks Its bonniest In the early mornIng - Ing when the dew Is on all sides and a still ness like the peace of God lies on the place. I do not expect the kingdom of heaven very much to surpass Earlstoun on a Sabbath mornlpB In June when the b es are In the reset. And , Indeed , I shall be well content with that. Dut there was no peace In Earlstoun that nor tor .many t , morning to come. I was at the door watching for them coming before ever a grouse cock stirred among the short , brown heather on Ardoch ride. I told my mother over and over that without doubt Sandy was bringing father home. "Gay Garland was eye a recsty beast ! " I said. "Doubtless he started when my father had his foot in the stirrup and has come harno by hlmsel'l" "Anlther beast mlcht , " said my mother , looking wistfully from the llttlo window on the stair , from which she did not stir , "but never Gay Garland ! " And right well I know she spake the truth. Gay Garland had carried my father over long to reest with him at the hlnderend. "Can ye no see them ? " cried my mother again from the room where ordinarily she sat. sat.Even Jean Hamilton , that was but three years a wife , was not ns restless that fair morning of midsummer ns my mother , for she had her babe at her breast. In which she was happier , because when he cried at least she had something to think about. Thrco weeks before , In the mid of the sunny days In that noble June , my father , William Gordon of Alrds and Earlstoun , and my elder brother , Alexander , had ridden away to fight against King Charles. It took a long nrm In those days to strive with the Stuarts , and ns I saw them ride over the brae , with thirty Glenkens blue bonnets nt their tall , I know that I was looking upon the beginning of tha ruin of our house. Yet I went and hid my face and raged , for that I was not permitted to ride along with them nnd to carry the banner of blue , which my mother , the lady of Earlstoun , and Jean Hamilton , Sandy's wife , had broldcrcd for them. , with words that stirred the heart lettered fair upon It In threads of gold , and a cross of white laid on the bonny blue of Its folds. folds.My mother would have added an open bible on the division beneath , but my father forbade. "A sword gin ye like , but no bible ! " he said , So they rode away , and I , that was called William Gordon for my father , clenched hands and wept because that I was not counted worthy to ride with them. Hut I was never strong , ever since Malslo Lennox and I rode home from the Tinklers' Loup ; and my mother said that she had more trou ble at the rearing of me than with all her cleckln' . By which she meant , as one might say , her brood of chickens. To me my father cried out as he rode out of the yard : "Abide , William , and look to your mother and see that the beasts get their fodder , for you arc the master ot Earlstoun till I return. " "An * ye can help Jenn to sew her bairn clouts ! " cried my brother Sandy , whom we called the null , In that great voice of his , which could cry from Ardoch to Lochlnvar over leagues of heather. And I , who hoard him with the water stand. Ing In my eyes , because they were going out In their war gear while I had to bide at home , could have clouted him with a stone as ho sat his horse , smiling , and shaving the back of his hand with his Andrea Ferrara to try its edge. Oh , well ken I that he was a great fighter and Covenant man , and did ten times greater things than I , an Ill-grown crowl , can ever lay my name to. Dut , nevertheless , such was the hatred I felt at the time toward him , be ng my brother , and thus flouting mo. But with us , as I have said , there abode jur cousin , Malsle Lennox , from the Duchrae gro\ui now Into a deuce and sonsy lass , will lialr that waa like spun gold when the sun jliono upon It. For the rest , her face rather wanted color , not having In It by reason o her anxiety for her father , and It may be also by the nature of her complexion so mucl of the red as the faces of Jean Hamilton am other of our country lasses. But because she was my comrade , I saw naught awantlng , nor thought of red or pale ; since she was Malsle Lennox and my friend and gossip of these many years , she could not be other than she was , and Indeed I wished It not. Also In some sort she was a companion for my mother , for she had a sedate and dependa ble way with her , sedate and wise beyond her years. "Sho Is not like a fllchy young body aboo a hoose , " said my mother. But In this I differed , yet said nothing. For no one could have been to me what Malsle o : the Duchrae was. After Sandy and my father had ridden away .and I that was left to keep the house went about with a hanging head for that I had not ridden also , Malsle Lennox grew more than ordinarily kind. Never had a feckless lad like me such a friend like Malsle of the Duchrae. It was far beyond that which the love maids chatter about , and run out to the stackyard In the gloaming to find oft to their sorrow , poor , silly hemples. Yet wo greeted In the morning without ob servance , but rather as brothers whom nigh had not parted. In the day we spoke but seldom , save to ask what might be needed as the day's darg and duty drifted us to gcther. At even we watched the light fade from the hills of the west and gather bchlni those of the east. And I knew that wlthou speech her heart was trying to comfort mine because that I had not been Judged worthy to ride for the Covenants with her father am mine , and In especial because Sandy hat flouted me before her. This was very pre clous to me and kept up my manhood In mine eyes a service far above rubles. Thus they rode away and left the house o the Earlstoun as empty and unfriendly as a barn In hay harvest. From that day forwarc we spent as much time looking out over the moore from the house as we did at our ap pointed tasks. I have already told of the hap penlngs of the night of the 22d of June and o my mother's strange behavior whichIndeed was very far from her wont , for she seldon showed her heart to my father , but rathe faulted him and kept him at a stick's end especially when he came heedlessly Into he clean-swept rooms with his great mots splashed riding boots. Of that night I have one thing more to tell It was bitween the hours of 10 and 11 of th day following this strange night that in mother , having set all her house maidens t their tasks with her ordinary care and dl cretlon , took down the bakeboard and hung the girdle on a clear red fire of p at. Some times she did this herself , especially when my father was from home. For she was a matte baker , and my father often vowed that h wouM have her made the deacon of the trad ME- ' n Dumfries , whtrc ho had ft house. He was , ndecd , mortally fond of her glrdlecnkcs , and had whcaten flour ground at n distant miller or the purpose of making them. "Mary Hope , " ho used to say to her , In his afllng way , "your scones arc better than our father's law. I wonder wha learned ye o bake nboot Cralgloha , ' tho' , I grant , nony's the pulr man Iho father o' ye has keeplt braw anil hot on a girdle while he tlrred him aboot wl' his tongue. " This he said because my mother was a daughter of my Lord Hope of Cralglehall , vho had bren president of the Court ot Sessions In his time , and a very great man n the state. So , as I say , this day she sot to the baking early , and It went to my heart when I saw she was making the whcaten cakes , raised vlth sour buttermilk , thnt were my father's avorltes. She had not been at It long before In came Jock o' the Garpcl , hot-foot from the hill. "Mnlstcr Alexander ! " ho cried , panting and broken-winded with haste , "Mnlster Al exander Is comln * ewer the Brae ! " There was silence In the wide kitchen fern n moment , only the sound of my mother's oiler being heard , "dunt-duntlng" on the dough. "Is ho by his lane ? " asked my mother , vlthout raising her head from the bakeboard. "Ay , " said Jock o' the Garpel , "n' by his ane. No a man rides ahlnt him. " And again there was stillness In the wide louse ot Earlstoun. My mother went to the glrdlo to turn the vheatcn cakes that were my father's fa vorites , nnd as she bent over the fire there vas n sound as If rain drops were falling ind blrsllng upon the hot girdle. But It vas only the water running down my moth er's cheeks , for the love of her youth , for now her last hope was fairly gone. In the middle of her turning she drew the girdle off the fire , not hastily , but with care and composedness. "I'll bake nae malr , " she cried. "Sandy's como ewer the hill his lane ! " And I caught my mother In my arms. ( To be Continued. ) rnr DOLS IT it.tixr The question , "What makes It rain ? " especially after long continuous drouth , Is very Interesting. The atmosphere Is largely saturated with water In the form of vapor. This may be proven on a hot , dry day , such as we had last July , when It was so hot and dry that It burned up standing corn through- jut Iowa , Nebraska and other western states. If on such a day you nil a glass with Ice water you will soon find the outside covered with globules of water which the glass has condensed from the air. Water Is found In four states , solid as Ice ; liquid as In water ; vapor as In steam , nnd as a fixed gas , which I will explain. I first observe that the power we know as lieat applied to Ice produces water ; water brought Into contact with fire becomes steam ; steam superheated by an Intenser Is trans- foimcd Into a fixed gas. To prove this , take a vessel full of air , send un electro current through It and It Is transformed Into drops of water. Experiment shows that a fixed gas , or the atmosphere , may be changed Into water by an electric shock ; steam or vapor Is changed Into water by a cool temperature , and water Is changed Into Ice by a very cold temperature. Let mo now collect nnd place In order these phenomena : The nlr we breathe Is full of water In the form of vapor and It holds the water tenaciously. Under certain conditions the air gets too full ot vapor and when It cannot hold any more one little globule will join another , still more unite until a drop has been formed , which falls down Just as If some one had squeezed n sponge. But some times conditions are not favorable , with the earth parched nnd the springs dry. Well , what then ? Some said last week , It seems as If It cannot rain , the air Is BO dry. Why , then the wonderfully wise provision of our benefielent and loving. Father comes Into play , which I have been trying to explain. An electro shock , apparently unbidden , files hundreds of miles athwart the sky In c second of time , lighting up the heavens , rending the air and shaking the earth , as we so gladly nnd thankfully witnessed on Satur day night. The phllcsop'hr of lt all Is this : The In tense heat of the sun at the equator had converted the vapor of the atmosphere Into a fixed gas , and to restore the equlllbrum an electric shock was necessary to reconvert the fixed gases Into water. We all notice Im mediately after an Intensely vivid flash of lightning a reverberation followed by a heavy shower of large drops. HENRY COKER. SVSl'KXbK.

THE MOON A BASE DECEIVER Science Knocks the Props from Under Its Pretensions. NO INFLUENCE OVCR THE WEATHER rncts.DUcloicd by Kxtcnntic Obicrvatlona Throughout tlio World-Dry nml IVet MOOIII it ChlldUIi rlcOou Signs that 1'nll. ( Copyright , ISM. ) Prom time Immemorial an almost univer sal belief lias prevailed that the state of the weather Is In omo way or other con trolled by the moon. Hules liavo bsen form ulated for the purpose of predicting changes In the weather , both from the moon's phases and the date Ht which they taUo place , liven so distinguished an astronomer as the late Sir William Herschell Is said to have pre pared n series of such rules or precepts , which are now known as Hcrschcll's weather tables. And out of this comes the study of supposed lunar Influence by farmers and gardeners In most of the acts of their craft Inasmuch as the moon Is known to as sist In producing the tides , It has been Inferred that It must likewise cause tides In the atmosphere and In this way make changes In the weather. The only evidence of an aerial tide Is afforded by the In creased pressure or weight of the air ns shown by the barometer , and observations made In various localities and extending evermore more than half a century , show that If an aerial tide exists at all , It Is exceedingly slight , the change In the height of the mer- curl.1l column of the barometer being less than one thousandth of an Inch. An aerial tidal wave due to the > moon's attraction has therefore practically no existence. Meteorological observations have been made for more than a third of a century In Huropo and elcswhere "iin the express purposa of ascertaining tf < s number of rainy days In the waxing and waning moon , and the results In every l > stance have , been unsatlcfactory and contridlctory. Thus In southern Oer- many It , vas found that during a period ol twenty-fl e years the number of rnlny days In the wax'ng ' moon ( from new to full moon ] was to the i.mnber In the waning moon very nearly as six to flvc , while In the south ol Franco the ratio was as nlns to eleven ; anil nearly opposite results were secured at Paris , There has been the same experience In Amer ica and the observations have proved noth ing. Where nearly the same results were obtained In two or more different localities they only Indicated coincidences , not cense quences. It may thence be safely concluded that changes of the moon have uo Influence In producing rain. Equally worthless Is the tradition that the crescent of the new moon when nearly hori zontal foretells a wet month and when nearly vertical a dry month. These positions of the moon's crescent must occur every nine teen years and arc a necessary consequence of the moon's having the orbit It has , the change from one form of the crescent to the other being very slow and gradual. Those who are willing to accept these as signs do so from the coincidences they may have happened to observe , carefully noting the Instances which have proved the sign and neglecting those that do not. They are In fact convinced because they desire to bo convinced of what really pos sesses no foundation whatever. Observations made with the view of de termining whether or not the moon produces any other changes In the weather have given contradictory results. Thus 100 new moons were followed by .fifty-eight changes of weather ; 100 full moons by sixty-three changes and 100 quarterlnga by sixty-four changes. This might seem to show that the new moon Is followed by the fewesl changes and this Is contrary to what Is commonly believed. In short , all scientific observation goes to prove1 that the moon has no Influence : whatever over the weather. Practical meteorology can hardly be salt ) to have attained to the rank of a science , however. Wo know very little about the causes which bring about changes In the weather. Until our knowledge of electricity and magnetism Is vastly extended , our fore casts of the weather must be In the majority of cases , mere guesses. We understand the cause of the trade winds ; but we cannot ex plain the whlrlulnd In our streets , much less can wo say a day or even an hour In advance when and where the next cyclone will strike. Wind and rain storms follow no known law ; they are variable and capricious being Influenced by numerous local causes such as oceanic currents , mountain chains deserts , large lakes , extensive forests , etc. to which may bo added temperature , moisture and electrical conditions.
