CHAPTER XIX. Continued.
Hli face looked eterner than ever, for
Use fatigues of the nlfht had caused It
to take on aa ashen, corpse-like hue, oat
of which bit small gray eyes looked with
the courlous nobility of living eyes from
behind a mask.
But he raised hts hat as politely be
for. For In nothing did Qregory Qlendon
wyn fall, save In humanity. And I could
ot but admire the Intrepidity of the man
who at bis age had undertaken a task so
exhausting aa this.
"We most leave as soon aa the water
has advanced a stage higher at the little
pier," be aaid. "Our destination la yonder!"
Ha lifted bla band and pointed to a faint
biua cloud which stretched Itself against
the brightening borlton. "Th Island be-
donwyn carrying our slender effects. For,
as I aay, In the smaller courtesies ha left
nothing to be desired.
There was a boatbouse nearby, as I was
at first glad to notice, but the Iron door
was locked and In addition secured with a
stout padlock an.d chain. We took our way
among sea holly and atarwort thrift and
water plantln, skirting heathery hillocks
and benty warrens over which the rabbits
scurried and where the aea bird were be
ginning to nest. In the direction of the an
cient and ruinous building which we bad
observed from the sea.
At first I thought the place wholly de
serted, for nothing was to be seen but a
plain ridge of ancient etone and lime broken
at the time and above It the Jackdaw's
tower or keep. But Mr. Glendonwyn went
on steadily, following a path which every
or not Rupert bad ever been upon the Isle.
Nor did we find ber hue band, when he
came In, any more communicative.
Hamlah McColl proved not to be a man
to waste words on any subject a yellow
faced, scrub-bearded, middle-aged Celt, the
ruddy hue ot whose hair waa Invaded and
modified iby a certain grlisled gray, which
gave thi effect of Imperfectly applied
whitewash.
t asked Hamish the name of the place.
He appeared to eipertence a difficulty la
understanding the bearing of the query.
But at laat be answered: "It Is the
malster'a Island no mine I"
"Well, then. Hamish," I aaid, "what does
your 'neuter call It T"
"He never called It ocht that I mind on,"
was the answer.
"But what Is the name on the letters that
great deal. But by a peculiar mercy
there was In the dining room, under the
great aideboard three tall volumes of
"Curtis" Flora Londonenls," the more
ancient edition, with all the colored plates.
Thia I studied diligently and was soon
able to Identify all the plants which we
found during our daytime rambling.
Generally I managed matters so that Kate
should find the flower or herb, and It was to
bring this about naturally that I first took
these morning strolls which in time crew
to desr to me. Then also I could think un
disturbed about my father and John, and
all the thlnga which were to be or mlcht be.
And, oh, above all, the freshness of the
time! I used to steal to the door of her
bedroom after I had dressed me. and listen
to Kate's quiet breathing, sometimes even
venturing to steal In and close the shutters
lest the light In her face should awake her.
For we slept with the windows open la
that fine far-carried air and genial summer
weather.
Then with a bounding heart I would silo
out (Hamish and his deaf wife being with
drawn to their den In the mysterious ba?k
parts in rear of the kitchen) and. shutting
In the collies lest their bounding should
scare the eeablrds, would aet myself to soy

There, above me. were the gannets al

longs to me, and there are good and kind
people upon It. I have used la aa a refuge
myself for many years and have always
found It aa Isle of peace. So, I trust, aay j
you."
I told him that I would .like to write
to my father, that I might aet hla mind
at rest. Mr. Glendonwyn took a while to
consider, and at laat gave hla consent, but
only upon eondltlon that he ahould see
and approve what I wrote.
"Otherwise," he aaid. "the whole advan.
tags of our arrangement might be thrown
away. Complete secrecy In your retreat
la your only hope."
I had, In fact, to write the note which
Anally went to my father from Drumfern
no less than three tlmea before I could find
a form of words which waa acceptable to
our guide. Kate never opened her mouth
once during theae negotiations, save to ask
when Rupert would be well enough to come
to ber. The reply whloh Mr. Glendonwyn
gave waa reassuring but somewhat evasive.
The young man would follow as soon aa his
medical adviser thought It safe that was
the gist of It. Whereat Kate sighed and
became aliens.
The letter waa written In the comfortless
shelter of the hut, in which were only
rude slab for a table and aome packing
boxes for seat. But I bad been able to
light a fire with the new Invented phos
phorus matches which Mr. Oleadonwyn car
ried with him. and which I atruck upon a
piece ef glaaa paper. He alao brought aome
provisions from the carriage and we ate all
' together. Rupert's father sitting opposite
to us, In thick blue pilot-cloth coat, wide
trousers, like a sailor's, and a huge knitted
comforter about hla neck.
In an hour he announced that the time
ef our departure had arrived. It waa now
clear day, and we could look about us upon
the bleak, unkindly landscape. I, for my
part, thought It dreary enough. But Kate,
on the other hand, aaw only Rupert and hla
eomlng la all, and atepped with a great
deal of courage and aasurance Into the little
ailing boat which waa to convey us to cur
deatlnatlon.
Mr. Oleadonwyn rowed with eaee and
vigor till we came to the mouth of the
little winding river, which somewhat gin
gerly felt Its way down through these sul
len marshes to the sea. Aa soon, however,
aa we began to feel the life of the salt
water, he ablpped hla oara and began to set
ft small lugsalU which, having been well
taught la water lore by my brober Will, I
waa gle4 to be able to help him to raise.
And nothing shows more clearly the great
change which had come over my poor Kate
than this, that she who before had never
been a moment Idle and who had ever been
the moat eager to handle oar or sail, should
now be content to alt Idly by, looking out
over the water without any apparent In
terest In what we were doing, or whither
we were going. And the reason of that I
knew net then, though afterward It waa
plentifully and 'pitifully plain to me.
It waa a matter of three hours before we
landed on the Uland, which all the while
bad been gradually rising before us across
the water a long, low, desolate, aaod-duny
place, with a fringe of aand and pebbles all
round It. a plantation or two cowering
Oder shaggy heathery heights of rock and
boulder, and a vaat clamor of eea birds
Circling and screaming about It everywhere.
Aa we drew round a apit of aand, over
which the wave were breaking white, we
came la eight ot a long, low building, gray,
ruinous and weather-beaten ot aspect, from
which an aneleat square tower rose, backed
by great trees and overgrown with Ivy. But
from the aea It appeared to bo roofleaa and
f etiolate, and the Jackdaws rose la a cloud
protesting against our intrusion aa we
came nearer. 1 tried la vain to recall the
aspect ot the map of Scotland at this point.
Mr. Glendonwyn presently brought uc up
at a rude pier similar In construction to
that which we had left on the mainland.
Here we made faat, the aail waa taken
down an4 we ateppwa ashore. Mr. Qletv
atep grew plainer till we turned an arch
way and found ourselves, by one of those
quick surprises which alwaya affect my
spirits with pleasure, In a small, well-kept
plot of the greenest grass, aflame with lent
lilies and elender nodding daffodils. And
whereas without we had aeen only tbe gray
crumbling of the wall, rude aa a atone
dyke, the lime moldered away by tbe eager
damp of the sea air, behold! within waa a
little whitewashed house with Its back to
the ruined keep, white blinds to all the
windows three above and two below, with
a door painted green, like tbe houses you
see on shores of Highland lochs.
And In the doorway atood a good, sonsy,
well-put-on Scottish dame, smiling and
nodding her head as If well pleased to wel
come us. This surely could be no prison,
but a refuge Indeed.
After ahaklng hands Mr. Glendonwyn
made come signal and the woman pointed
out over her shoulder In the direction of
tbe dark, heathery crest of the isle. I
understood him to Inquire aa to the where
abouta of some third person.
"Old Jonet Is deaf and dumb," be said,
turning about to us, "but you will find her
both kind and attentive. I brought ber
and her husband, Hamish McColl, from the
Highlands many years ago, to keep the
Island for me. Tou will not want for any
thing, I trust. I have made every prepara
tion for a somewhat lengthened stay. In
deed, I habitually keep moat things here, as
my own visits are made at uncertain Inter
vals and generally without warning.' -
The old woman shook bands with us,
patting Kate'a arm affectionately, and re
peatedly touching her own Hps with her
finger tips, aa If to ssy that she was sorry
shs could not talk to ua.
"She understands something of the finger
language, however," Mr. Glendonwyn went
on, "but neither abe nor. her husband have
such English beyond that which will enable
there te understand what you want.
Hamish Is my shepherd, a man In whom I
trust and find altogether dependable. He
will convey any message to me that yon
may think It necessary that I ahould have.
But I must warn you that he has hla orders
and will neither permit you to leave the
Uland without communicating with me nor
forward any letter or messsge except
through my hands. For the rest, I think
you will have no reason to complain."
Without entering the house or asking
for any refreshments be held out his hand
In farewell.
"I will now take my leave," be aatd.
"For it la essential that thia letter should
be sent to your father Immediately. My
service to yea, ladles. I think you will
find your retirement aot wholly disagreeable."
And the next moment we were watching
his long, active legs carry him down again
toward the pier, where, preaently, from the
outer eatewar ot tbe ancient abbey, we
saw a figure Join him.

Aa Idol Nlata the Breaklatr.
And, Indued, Mr. Glendonwyn had aome
right to hla opinion. For within the house
waa admirably equipped, and to me at least
Ita outalde disrepair and quaint antiquity
rather belghtansd the blsn sense of cem
tort within Indeed, but tor the tear that
we were diatresslng our trlenda, there was
no suffering of any kind connected with
our St ay on tbe island. Jonet McColl
chowed ua over tbe rooms with housewifely
pride. First, there on the ground floor
waa a good-alsed sitting room, with a win
daw opening upon the garden or courtyard.
On the other aids of the narrow passags
was a dining room, with guns and fishing
rod la racks. To these Kate Instsntly
turned her eyea, and, taking the dumb
woman la hand, tried to spell out the
letters of Rupert's aaaxa. with hopefulness
gleaming la . hsr eyes. But either Jonet
did aot understand or ahe had her orders.
Not trees ber would we 14 oat whsUsr
come?" I persisted. 1
"There's nae letters ever comes to this
Island," he spoke the words alowly, as If
each bad to find lta way unassisted through
the grizzled scrub of his beard.
I was nonplussed and for the moment
could contrive no other leading question. I
rallied, however, sufficiently to ask, "What
ball I call it when I apeak of ItT"
"Caa' It 'the Island!'" he eald. "What
alia ye at thatT" '
I thought I caught a caving gleam of
humor In Hamlab'a eye, and I cried, clap
ping my bands, "I have it we will call It
Inch Jonet!"
Bo Inch Jonet It was aa long as we abode
there.
But the Incoming of Hamish and eur dis
cussion (together with my acknowledged
defeat) on the question of the tame of the
island, have Interrupted, my description of
tbe rest of the house. Tbe kitchen prem
ises were to tbe back carved out of the
rulna of the ancient Priory, or "Holy
Hoose," aa Jonet called It upon ber finger.
A new "Carron" atove looked curiously out
ot place among tbe halt-effaced slabs of an
cient tombs and low, rounded arches ot the
abbey chapel.
Above there were three bedrooms re
served for our use, two of which opened
out of each other and looked .upon the
court, while tbe other had a little window
looking over tbe sea, and a door which
led out upon the top of the tower, where,
from a wide atone gallery, there was a
marvelous view ot the distant ooasta and
the sweeping miles of blue wavea.
Now, at thia point I must give a day out
ot our Uvea, while we lived so peacefully
upon Inch Jonet. Our minds were pretty
easy or at least mine waa. For every
fortnight Hamlah crossed to the mainland
tor auppllea and took over the letter to
my father, which Mr. Glendonwyn bad
promised to forward. I know now that
these never got further than the study fire
at Castle Oower. But I did not know that
then and so rested fairly comfortable In
my mind. I knew that I waa doing tbe best

peaceful occupation of Inch Jonet For
ae I shall have hereafter to tell, he came
at first pretty frequently, though as the
months drew on bla visits wsxed rarer and
rarer, and, at last, aa I ahall have to tell,
ceaaed altogether.
Yet even whea he waa moat pleaaant
and Kate bappieet. it was always an In
finite pleasure to me to see him off from

basket, and Mr. Rupert sitting In the stern.
beautiful aa a god, kissing his hand to
Kate, and waving easy adleux to "made
moiselle," as he never ceaaed to call me.
But there were long daya and high days
and happy daya for all that on Inch Jonet.
I set myself aa I bad never aet myself
before, to etudy for examination (no. not
even to that of the Latin grammar, most
superior, sir!) to the tssk of making Kats
happy. And to this extent I succeeded;
that If she did not think less about Rupert
Oleadonwyn, shs began at least to tske a
greater interest In preparing for tbe future.
Her eyee were not forever fixed on the line
of the distant shores, and she could pasa the
boat house without turning aside to see If.
by any unlooked-for chance, It bad been
left unlocked.
It was my study also to ksep Kate so
constantly In the open air that ahe should
sleep eoundly at Bights and rest ae long as
possibls In the morning. Indeed, slsep she
did. and that Infinitely sounder and longer
than I. Often I waa out by four-of-the-elock.
For tn June and July It scarcely
ever got dark there, and even if I chanced
to awaken early. It was no hardship te
walk on the hard, close-felted turf ot
lack Jonet. the rabbits all aafe la their
holea, and nothing but the cheep moving
restlessly about or lying down with a sigh
like a tired maa, only te riss again la flvs
minutes and tall te their champ-champing
and crop-cropping again.
It waa the pleasure cf my life (er at
least eae of them) te teach Kate much
of birds and flowers aa I knew myself,
which. Indeed, at that Umc wee m very
their prey, and then anon heavily taking
wing for yet another plunge.
Seamewa, gulls and terns mingled their
screams, and truth to tell, I never heard a
concert that I liked better. Sweeter was
tbe noise to me than any nightingales that
I have aince heard singing on the vine ter
racee of France or among tbe gardens ot
Como.
All this eased my mind and made me
glad. For I cannot aay that I was un
happy on tha Isle of Inch Jonet. I knew
that I was doing my duty. Until the
fulness of the time I could do no more.
Kata was my charge aa aurely as if ahe
had been committed to me by our father.
Also I had time to think, which. In the
press of study and work I never seemed
to have had in all my life before.
Day by day, therefore, we went to and
fro searching for plants, rock plants, sea
kale, whorled caraway, pals butterwort,
green seaspleenwort and filmy fern, neated
In aoft mossy places bard to find and harder
to reach whan found.
These and other treasure troves were a
continual delight to Kate, and I never re
vealed the fact that In the earliest morn
ing I had marked down most of the covies,
It was, besides, the greatest of pleasures to
me to see ber pale cheek glow as we came
upon aome treasure hitherto undiscovered
We left the root to bloom again another
year, carrying away for our portfolio only
the flower and stem, with perhaps a seed
or two. It is Impossible to tell the distrac
tion and occupation all this made for my
dear sister, and bow the constant change
and open-air exercise kept her from brood
ing upon her troubles.
We had alwaya breakfast together In the
kitchen, with aometlrr.es not a little laugh
ter in trying to make old Jonet understand
our .meaning by dint of finger play and
choosing such scant words of English as
she understood.
Then out again to tbe copses or along tbe
shore with baskets and canisters. Some
times we would bathe tn the clear green
water to tbe westward of the bsr, at
place where the fine gravel ran far down
Coming back we ate purple dulss from the
walls of a little cavern and the clean
astringent taste of It comes back to me
still unblunted across ths yeara.
la the afternoons I read, mostly In some
sheltered' nook, while Kate worked or with
the most exquisite neatness laid down on
cardboard tha planta which had been com
pletely pressed snd dried. I felt more hope
that her old self would revive, from the
inter est she took in this diversion than
from anything else, hep ewlft, delicate
handicraft and natural taste helping her
to make little plcturea out of many of our
treasures.
In the evening we walked again by tbe
shore, often till the sun went down and
tha stars came out, for I would force my
self to tire my sister out, that she might
sleep naturally and ao pasa ths night which
I dreaded most for ber.
Thus it waa when we were alone. And
how much sweeter to ms than when Mr.
Rupert came! Somehow I eould not accept
the fact that be waa Indeed Kate's bus
band and that abe loved him. For me
never trusted him from the moment I set
eyes upon him. He was forever sneerln
at- John and making compliments, often
double-edged, to me. But this is neither
time nor place to be bitter. Tbe months
were drifting to the culmination, the bright
days running all too swiftly through ths
aandglaas. Mr. Rupert's visits grew fewer
and shortsr. Tet, strange aa it may seem
Kate appeared not to miss blm so great'y
nor to yearn for him so overpowerlngly as
at first. Another love waa beginning to
tlr In her heart.
And ao and ao till tbe empty hourglass
turned of Its own accord, and ons stormy
night in late autumn there waa heard on
Inch Jonet, mingling with the crash of ths
waves on the beach and tbe trumpet clan
of tbe wild swans going southward In the!
ordered files, that most unmistakable an
thrilling of human sounds, the crying of
a man child Just born into tbe world.

SPECIAL TRAIN OF TWENTY-FIVE CARS STEAM THRESHERS. CONSIGNED TO LININGER & METCALF CO., OMAHA.
M.DE DY BUFFALO-TITTS CO., BVFFALO, N. Y.
Anyone Interested tn the phenomenal ag
ricultural growth of the state of Nebraska
cannot fall to view with pleasure the Im
mense growth of winter wheat l Nebiaska.
That It should be necessary to thus early
make single shipments like this, valued at
$100,000, upeaks volumes for the prosperous
outlook for the coming wheat harvest. '
Speaking of this train, Mr. F. L. Hnllcr,
secretary of Llnlnger & Metcalf Co., says:
"We stsrted out of Creston, la., Saturday
morning at 7 o'clock with our special train.
All the agents living on the line of the
Chicago, Burlington A Qulncy, through
which this train was to pass, had been
notified of Its coming. When the train
drew up to the depot its arrival was an
nounced by the screachlng of a calliope
whistle, a twin of the Bemis Bag company's
tooter. As soon ss the crowd gathered
around the exhibition car we would start
up the machine, which constats of a twenty-
five-horse engine and threshing machine
complete. By mentis of the blow slacker,
used In elevating the straw, circulars were
distributed among the crowd, giving inter
esting particulars of this immense ship
ment."
The Improvement In machinery for tak
ing care of wheat has been most phenome
nal. It is within the memory ot any old
man that wheat was still threehed In his
time by means of flails in this country. For
6,000 years prior to 1852 there bad been no
advance In the process of threshing wheat.
It was beaten out by flails, or tramped out
by horses and cleaned In the primitive way
of letting it fall through the air from a
sieve. Even twenty years ago, with what
was considered Improved machinery at that
time, a visit of a threshing outfit to a
farmer was little less than a devastation.
I remember with what dread my grand
parents used to look forward to the coming
of the threshers. It meant a stay of from
ten days to two weeks, with sixteen teams
and men. The voracious appetites of these
roving bands of threshers made the proverb,
"To eat like a thresher," a common one lu
agricultural communities. The old thresh
ing machine, with Its fourteen to sixteen
horse power, was a never-ending source of
interest and danger to all who came in con
tact with it. It took two men with sharp
knives to cut the bundles as they wore
thrown on to tho feed table. Maimed
hands and arms were constant occurrances.
The threshers In the train today are fitted
with an attachment which does away with
these feeders entirely and by means of an
ingenious device, a number of knives fast-
ened to a cylluder, cut the bande, and at
tho name timo feed the bundles Into the
machine. Formerly It took from two to
four men to stack the straw as It left the
machine, and the position directly back of
tbe straw stacker was almost unbearable by
reason of the dust and chaff which covered
the unlucky man on the straw stack. This
has been done away with, and now the
straw Is blown through a long eheetlron
tube, which looks like the barrel of a 13
Inch rifle cannon. The straw is blown sev
eral hundred feet and plnced automatically
wherever wanted without the aid of any
man. Formerly the griln wae measured by
means of half-bushel baskets, and It was no
small trick to take care of the grain as It
came from the machine. The count was
always a matter of dispute between the
throshorman and the farmer. Now the
grain Is delivered automatically and
welKhed by a patented machine which can
not bo tampered with by either the thresh
ernian or the farmer. The recording of the
bushels of jsraln measured is automatically
done and cannot be questioned. It Is a
romiuoti siRht during the nights In hardest
time to see these mammoth outfits along
the road. All moving Is done at night to
save time and to keep from frightening
horses. Two men attend to the whole mat
ter, the engineer and the fireman. It 18
Interesting to see a procession consisting
of the traction enplne followed by the coal
find water tender nnd the threshing machine
climbing a hill with tho ease, of a locomo
tive drawing a passenger train. These out
fits run from $2,600 to $3.TiOO in rrlce, and
they generally finish threshing out a farm
er's grain in one, day.
The demand ter Buffalo-Pitts double en
gines, handled by Llnlnger & Metcalf Co.,
has grown to such Immense proportions
within three years that it Is necessary to
make shipment In trainloads, thus early In
order to Insure a supply of machines when
wanted. If the whent crop comes out as
expected this firm expects to run at leojt
three more trains during the season. This
train will be on exhibition today and Mon
day on the II. & M. tracks in front ot the
Turlington Flat ion, a sight well worth see
ing. The Bun'alo-ritts company have been
building threshers for sixty years and their
product la a household word throughout tbe

. iHERE are many sickly women be
I I tween the ages of 45 and hh, but
I ' there are very few invalids over 55
or 60 years of age. The change of
life coining to a woman near her forty
fourth year, either makes her an invalid or
gives her a new lease on life. Those who
meet this change in ill health seldom live
ten years afterward, while a woman who
lays aside the active. duties of womanhood
in health seldom fails to live on in happi
ness, years after she has passed 60. Durin ?
the change of life, the menstrual funaju
gradually disappear. This is truly a crit
ical time.
Mrs. Laura S. Webb, of Toledo, Ohio,
recognizes the change of life as a danger
ous period and she also has faith in Viii.ai
of C'ardui. She writes:
"As I bad always been troubled more or
less at toe menstrual period, I dreaded the
change of life which was fast approaching.
While visiting with a friend I noticed that
the wai taking your Wine of Cardui, and
bt was so enthusiastic about it that I decided
to try a bottle. I experienced some relief the
Hrct month, so I kept on taking it for three
months and now I menstruate with no pain
aid I shall take it off and on now until I
Live passed the climax. I do not dread it
ne w, as I am sure that your Wine of Cardui
will be of great benefit at this time."
Art. Elizabeth Darfield, of Fort Barn
well. N. C, has had happy experience
with Wine of Cardui during the change of
life. She writes:
"Please allow me to say a few words In
praise of your wonderful Wine of Cardui.
hen I wrote to you in 1900 I was so weak
an J nervous that I could not sit up very
long at a time. I had such a cough that at
times I thought I was going to lose my
breath. When I received your medicine and
commenced to use h I improved in health
and now I am feeling better than I have
since the change of life. I hope I will con
tinue to improve in health. I have recom
mended your medicine to others and will
continue to do so."
This tubjoct is a serious one for any wo
man and the evidence given here that
Wine of Cardui will lead her safely through
these danger cannot be ignored. It i a
tragic fact that to many women sicken and
die at that critical time, because they do
not prepare themselves. Urs. Abbie
Stricklin, of Falkins, Ala., says:
"I have been using Wine of Cardui fot
