CHAPTER XXXIX.
There ii do more than that. But how
packed with matter for decision w( that
little flimsy half sheet. Should I obey my
father or my husband? For I bad given
John the rlgh,t ts call me that when he
liked. My father was Dot here to consult
and It would hare- been a thousand times
worse If he bad.
A eudden impulse came to me. I cannot
tell what It was that made me do It per
haps the sight of Veronlca'a pale, set lips
And disappointed face. 1 was fond of
"Veronica and I did not like to see her
looking at me Ilka that. Though, of course,
Jhe main part of ber trouble I could not
help..
I banded her the letter with a quick
.scsture of appeal. I could see her waver.
Nevertheless she shook ber head In refusal.
"Help ua, Vera!" I said and laid my hand
npon her arm. She took the note and read.
Then, when she had finished, she read It
iprer again carefully. And tbea she drew a
long, long breath.
' "What Kate told me tonight ts true,
then?" she said, looking very straight at
me, "about Mr. Rupert Olendonwyn, I
nean?"
"It Is true," I answered.
"Then I will go with you," she said,
alowly. "I may think you are a deceitful
little brat, Falrlle Olendennlng, but I can't
fcelp liking you In spite of It. I hope you
will be more straightforward with with
hln than you have been with me."
"Thank you," I said. "It will be difficult
to get Kata to go, but If she will come at
all it will be with us two."
"First, let ma write a note home one of
the boya can take It," said Veronica. "I
will tell my father that there la great need
for me here and that be ia not to expect
me home tonight. There will be merry
pandemonium at the manse, but never
Bind. They must just do without me for
one night In a good cauee. I have all the
rest of my life In which to make It up to
them!"
6he went In, and while aha waa writing
(she wrote very large, half a dozen words
to a page) I brought Harry out of the
kitchen and bade him take Johnny Colstoun
to his mother, aa well aa deliver Vera's
letter at the manse of Kllgour. He was,' of
course, all curiosity, but, being In fear of
Will, asked no questions. Then I showed
the letter I bad received to Will and bade
him get ready to come with us to Oower
castle.
"I will not" be cried. "You heard what
my father said about these Clcndonwyns."
"Well, you can atay then." I said, "It
' la quite the aame to me whether you go
-or not. I am going to take the responsi
bility. I have Veronica Caesar and can
g qulta well. Only It would look better
, afterward If the acting head of the
family"
"The acting head of the family, Indeed!"
ha said scornfully, "I should like to know
who that is, if not Miss Fairlle Gleaden
mlngl" "Well, at any rate," I said, "you are the
maa her our brother, and people will
look to you to protect us! But of course
if you are afraid there la no more to be
aid!"
"Oh," ha cried, "If you put It that way,
I will come. You know very well, Fairlle,
that Z am not afraid. No, not of all the
Olendonwyna in the burying ground and
eat of It!"
It waa a more difficult and delicate mat
ter to break the matter to Kate. But at
laat I hit upon a way and In her then state
of mind found It easier than I had antici
pated. Her dress was done at last, thanks
to Vera Caesar not to me, laty little pig
that I waa! Now Kate had in her a root
of love for nice things to put on. I. on
tha other hand, cared more for nice things
to eat, after the manner of the unclean
four-footed beast aforesaid. I told her
that we had been aent for to attend a meet
ing of the family and friends of Rupert and
how H waa a great blessing that aha had
ber dresa finished In time and the pretty
lace collar and euffs Vtched upon It all In
readiness.
"But I can't go and leave Babe Rupert,"
he said. Just a little wistfully, "do you and
Vera go, I will stay with him."
"But," cried Veronica, enthusiastically,
"we will all go. Babe Rupert, af course,
must go, too. It is a family gathering."
"And I can hold him in my arras all the
Urns " sae;eald. anxiously, "and w will
corns away soon?"
"Yea, quite soon," said Veronica, "that
la. whenever you ara tired. Falrlle and I
will give you a turn sometimes. But you
can keep hold of his hand lest we take U
lEto our heads to run off with him. He Is
o wonderfully lovely that we might, you
know!"
At this our poor Kate waa very much
pleased and sprang up all eager to be
dreseed. She carried Babe Rupert up
atalra to have his prettiest clothes put
on. And with Veronica wonderful talent
for getting people to do things, and her
facility In dressing others, gained by many
years' expiatory suffering at the nienae of
Kllgour, w soon found ourselves at the
door.
"Dick, mind the house! Don't gi out, and
don't anawer questions!" I said, as I
went through the door.
"Nor ask them" growled Will, who aaw

CHAPTER LX.
The Last of Mr. Surgeon Warner.
I thought I possessed eome courage and
I believe so still. But I own that that
night as we drove through the lodge gates
of Gower Into the avenue of the castle I felt
just a poor little school teacher who had
strayed out of her proper sphere and would
be glad enough to be back again Into
simple world I knew so well.
I waa glad to have Veronica with me,
who on her part sat playing with baby and
talking to Kate, perfectly unimpressed by
all the beauty and grandeur. I once heard
Vera say that ahe only liked a aunaet be
cause it told her that It was getting on
toward aupper time.
Kate also took everything with Indian
like atolidlty. She held up Babe Rupert to
the window, calling out to him to look' at
the bunny rabbits.
"See, baby," ahe was saying, "all these
were your father's, my dear, dear Rupert's.
I am so glad that we are going to visit
some of those who loved him and who
owed so much to his kindness."
At laat at the top of a long ascent tha
woodlanda suddenly ceased and darkly
massive before us stood up the ancient
towers of Oower Castle, with such a red
and gloomy sunset flaming behind them
that the sun himself appeared to be dying
on an ensanguined bed.
Somehow the sight made me shudder,
though I knew not what I had come there
to see.
Then came the outer gate, which waa
open, and a drawbridge like that of a real
ancient castle, which indeed It was.. The
wheels clattered harshly on the pavement,
anon rumbled solemn and hollow as we
passed beneath the arch. Then came lights
snd lo! at the carriage door John's hand
and above it his dear, much-tried, kindly
face.
"My father Is no better," he said quickly
to the servant Greg; "put In another pair
of horses and be ready. Yon may have to
drive to Drumfern tonight with Dr.
Warner!"
He helped us out 000 by one, opening
his eyea wide at the sight of Veronica, but
making no remark, save that low in my ear
he whispered the words: "Thank God, you
have brought them!" '
He took us Into the lofty hall, with heads
of roe deer, great horns of foreign animals,
bison aklns and bear skins, which Rupert
had brought home from bis travels. I would
have taken Babe Rupert from Kate, but
she would not permit me.
"He shall be carried Into bis father's
house for the first time by hla father'a
wife!" aba aald, almply and determinedly.

And Indeed there waa a certain fitness In
It after all. which I could not help but
acknowledge.
80 we passed up a grand staircase, on
end on. I saw down long, dim vistaa serv-
ants gliding with downcast heads and
silent feet hera and there, making no
sound on the thick carpets. There was a
curiously pleasant smell of old rose leaves
and furniture polish everywhere and then
came a lighted room, and a tall, gaunt,
angular man, whom I had never seen be
fore, rose to greet ua
"This is Mr. McCrosty. my lawer," said
John; "also for many yeare that of the 1 before aigning.
Olendonwyn family, though my father has Which being done, I signed the docu

plant him." "There can be no barm In your friends
Then, turnlna to Kate, he Introduced also putting down their naraca as wlt-
. r.M mn nerlllv to her. She stood
tall and atralght, with a grave, simple 1
dignity, something like an ancient statue
In her pose, which I marveled much to see.
It waa perfectly wonderful bow the con
sciousness of being Rupert Glendonwyn's
wife upheld ber all through that night.
Mr. McCroety seated himself on tha far
side of a kind of table, crossed hla legs and
pursed bla lips a if he was going to
whistle.
"Mr. Olendonwyn la very aerlously ill,"
he began, with a curloua little whistle In
his voice at the end of every sentence or
so, the effect of which was truly remark
able, contrasting as It did with the dignity
of his manner and the gravity of his ..com
I i n
munlcatlons. I learned afterward that In contemptuous manner. If Rupert Glen
hlb youth Mr. McCrosty had been a great jdonwyn at times looked like a beautiful
stammerer and had cured himself by alwaya
whistling a bar of "Duncan Grey" or eome
other Scots ditty as often aa he came to a
standstill. "Having been summoned, there
fore, to the bedside of my ancient friend
and patron, and consulted as to what waa
his best course In these painful circum
stances, I. took it upon me to remind him
that justice was a condition of repentance,
and that reparation and honest dealing mis
became no man. If he were satisfied that
his son Rupert had left lawful Issue, the
matter should not be left banging in the
wind one single moment. Having, more
over, been Informed by Mr. John Glendon
wyn (who did me the honor to make me
hia confidant in the matter some time ago)
that the young lady'a father had destroyed
an important, though, happily, not indis
pensable document, I advised Mr. John
Glendonwyn to apply directly to one of the
two witnesses of the marriage still alive
and accessible that is, to Miss Falrlle
Olendennlng which he did.
It la not necessary to continue Mr.
McCroety'a somewhat long-winded state
ment, which Indeed amounted to little more
than that Mr. Gregory Glendonwyn desired
to own his son'a child publicly aa the heir
to his estates, and that In thia he was
being heartily supported by his surviving
son, Mr. John.
The lawyer having finished, we were
forthwith ushered unstalra Into a areat.
I dimly lighted room, In which was Mr.
Oregory Glendonwyn, looking pale and worn,
bla nostrils ao thin aa almost to be trans
parent and hla eyes cavernoua and dark.
He was lying at full length on a bed,
propped up with pillows. He had about
him a loose dressing gown of some fine
wool of a brownish hue, while Dr. Warner,
looking like a sallow specter, thin, erect
and colorless aa bleached bone, stood a
lttts apart, gating at him with those sinister
eyea of his.
Another man of lawyer-like appearance,
the aame Mr. Ingalla who had formerly
made himself so prominent In the ecclesi
astical affairs of the parish, sat at a desk
with a second sheaf of papera before htm.
Mr. Olendonwyn nodded to us as we came
In opening his ' eyes Indeed at sight of
Veronica, but, ltke hla aon, taking no objec
tion to her presence, and indeed making no
remark upon It.
Mr. McCrosty nodded over to bla brother
lawyer aa much aa to Intimate: "All set
let us proceed!"
Whereupon Mr. Ingalla rose and said:
"It la the wish of Mr. Olendonwyn that
the marriage of his late aon Rupert Glen
donwyn, to Catherine or Kate Olendennlng
should be put beyond possible dispute. I
have, therefore, drawn up a paper embody
ing a statement of the facts, which will be
attested by one of the two witnesses. Dr.
Herold Warner of Kllgour. Thla document
I will now proceed to read."
Thla, when he had finished It, proved
to be a brief but perfectly exact state
ment of what had occurred in connection
with the marriage of my alster, to which
was aubjolned a medical record of Dr.
Warner's several visits to Inch Jonet and
of the birth of Babe Rupert. There were
also Included la the budget aeveral letter
from the lata Rupart Glendoawya to hla
friend Warner, ia which specific and re
peated references were Bade both to ths
marrlage and to the birth of the child.
"This, my friend and t agree In think- I
log," continued Mr. Ingalla, "would have !
beea sufficient for the purpose which my '
client haa in view that of putting the le- 1
gltlmacy of his heir outside the limits of '
serious dispute. But It would be well to j
have to addition the signature of the other
witness to both marriage and birth that '
Mlsa Falrlle Olendennlng Is, I think, the
name."
Mr. Ingalla looked across to me as if
he expected that I would speak, but I
waited in order that he might invite me
to do ao. It waa, however, John who spoke.
"Tell them what you know, Fairlle!" he
said.
And It waa pleasant thus to be ordered by
htm before them all.
80 I told the story as briefly as I could
and when I had finished Mr. Installs said,
"Then I am to understand that Mlsa Qlen-
.denning considers Dr. Warner's narrative
'to be a fair and correct account of the
facte?"
"Perfectly so." I said.
"Then I presume you will have no ob
jection to swear to the fact," he pro
ceeded In his official tone, "my friend Mr.
McCrosty Is fiscal of the county perhaps
he will put the young lady on her oath
neeses of the signatures of
Dr. Wsrner
ana miss uienaennmg.
continued Mr.
Ingalla.
So after Veronica and John had signed,
the. latter carried the paper to his father,
who traced the letters of hla name with a
trembling hand, but determinedly and pain
fully, taking quite a long time to get the
rnbrlcatlon to hla mind.
"You will also witness Mr. Glendonwyn's
will It will be better to have the same
namea upon that!" interposed Mr. Mc
Crosty. After these formulas bad been carried
out Mr. Glendonwyn signed to Dr. War
ner to aDDroach the bed. The surgeon did
' so in his usual gloomy, saturlne and half-
devil contriving mlchlef, as I have said,
Harold Warner looked at that moment' like
an ugly devil who never Could have con
trived anything else.
"I desire to bear witness," said Mr.
Glendonwyn In a feeble, but steady voice,
"that I consider Dr. Warner ought to bear
no blame before man in the matter of my
Illness or death. The fault. If fault tbero
be, was mine alone. And I desire with my
last breath that my relatives and agents
shall take no steps against Harold Warner
in the event of my death. Being, aa I am
credibly Informed, a dying man, I take
leave to say that I frely forgive Harold
Warner for all the ill he has brought on
me and my bouse, of which thla last acci
dent is but the last part and the least.
In token of which I have agreed to shake
Dr. Warner's hand tor the last time."
He held out bis hand and Dr. Warner i
took it with the lold triangular bayonet- '
thrust look' strong' In bla eyes. The old
man held the passive fingers for a mo- 1
ment.
"It la understood." he added, "that this
forgiveness and immunity only bold in the
event of my death. If I am spared by any
freak of Providence I am free to pursue
Dr. Warner and bring blm to account in
any manner open to gentlemen!"
"That is understood!" said Dr. Warner
grimly, and went out to the carriage which,
aa we knew, was waiting his convenience
In the courtyard.
CHAPTER XLII.
Kate's Last Message.
There waa a possessing silence In the
room till the door closed and the abyss of
soft carpet, wide hall and outer dark swal
lowed up the surgeon.
Then we heard the voice of Mr. Glen
donwyn again, a little firmer now, but still
weak and far-away.
"I would like to aee my grandson," he
said, "will you bring him forward?"
Kate roas and went swiftly . to the old
man's aide.
"See," ahe aald, "this is his son I have
called him Rupert, too Rupert Glendon
wyn. But he has really no name yet, for
my father would not let him be baptized."
The brow of the old laird darkened
ominously. ,
"I have at least an equal right," he said,
"moreover, I have no long while to live.
I desire that it ahall be done forthwith,
John!"
The son, so quiet, ready, humble, worth
a thousand of that other, waa at his
father'a aide In a moment.
"I educated you and put you into the
parish which you have despised and de
serted," he aald. "I have no . sympathy
with you or your work. But that la not
what I meant to say. You have not laid
aside your ordination vows with your
parochial onea. Baptise thla child! He
has no earthly father. 1 will present him
for baptism."
Joha looked dowa at Kate.
N "Do you wish it?" he aald, softly.
6 ao nodded a bright assent.' Indeed, I
have seldom sees her look ao radiant and
happy certainly sot alnce Rupert came
that last time to loch Jonet
"Of course," ahe answered, in that clear,
sweet voice that, waa always to me like
the aUilBi of bird. "Rupert's father
sure he himself
wlshee It where he Is!"
Old Oregory Olendonwyn laid his hand
on Kate's bead as she knr-lt by his bed
side, the youngling grasping and stretch
ing to get upon his feet, which he
just beginning to feel under him. For
like all the Olendonwyns, he had been late
In walking.
"You loved him?" he said with a thrill
of unexpected tenderness In his voice.
"I loved him and I love hlra!" ahe said.
And the lamplight falling upon ber up
turned face and on the loosened gold-flecked
glory of her hair (like liquor of Danzic, I
always eald) made her countenance like
that of an egel worshplng at a shrine.
"80 did I!" said the ld man slowly.
Kate laid the babe in his arms, and
rising, kissed him on the brow swiftly.
"God have you ever In his keeping!"
she said, using one of my father'a phrases
when any of us were going on a Journey.
"Amen!" said Oregory. softly. "That
prayer from you will do y soul no harm,
at any rate!"
And at that moment Babe Rupert, clutch
ing at a large gold reaper watch which lay
on the bed with the bunting case open,
threw It down and broke the glass. Then,
seeing what he had done, he burst Into a
howl. The old patted him.
"Let him have it," he aald. "It haa
measured sixty years of time for me. It
will be of amall use to me in eternity!"
Gregory Glendonwyn asked a drink from
a tumbler on the table, and Kate, who
hardly over thoupht of her own food, gave
it to hlai lu a moment. He drank and lay
back awhile with cloaed
He waited
reveran'.l, such an awe baa even the ante
chamber of death. Then be motioned John
and ho came near.
'"I have something to say " he aald
in a hnriicd staccato voice. "Lift my pil
low no not you! Let Rupert'a wife do It.
She loved him you hated him. What she
baa done of good or 111 was for his sake
If I have sinned, it was for hia sake his
sake."
So, unjust lb John and hating him to the
last, the old laird would not permit the
beet son In the world to lay so much as a
finger on him In the day of his mortal
sickness, and Indeed made no attempt to
conceal his distaste at his mere approach.
Well, I could make that up to him and
I would.
Very gently Kate adjusted the pillows.
If I had had to do It, living or dying I
would but L am told that I must not say
what I would have done, and It Is true
that It does not come Into the story. Yet
how can one help ono's feelings at the
sight of njuatlce, wherever one sees It?
There never was a son like John, and I,
who know him so well, will maintain it.
"I have not much to say," Gregory Glen
donwyn continued, clearly and feebly, "nor
yet as I think a great white to say It In.
I have arranged that the money belonging
to my wife which was left to my eon John,
and which I ought never to have used as I
did to pay my son Rupert'a debts, shall be
refunded to him year by year, principal
and interest, as the estates will allow, of It.
My son knows of the forgery and malversa
tion of trust which was committed on that
occasion, and therefore shares with Mr. In
galla here and Mr. Fiscal McCrosty the
criminality of compounding a felony! I am
going where Letters Criminal do not run,
and In a few hours I shall be safe under the
r.reatest of all statutes of limitations. And,
Indeed, a greater penalty hath been exe
cuted upon me for my sins. I told you and
Dr. Warner told you that I have gotten a
stroke. It ts a true word! Behold it, gen
tlemen!" And with a quick movement of the band
Gregory Glendonwyn threw aside tha brown
dressing gown and showed a bandage atained
with red, drawn tightly across his left
breast.
The same movement revealed under the
coverlet two small swords, one of which
was staned with blood six inches from the
point.
Tha two lawyers started to their feet
and rame hurriedly forward. John Olen
donwyn cried out a loud, sudden word and
leaped to the door. But hia father called
him back.
"Nay." he said, "do not go. You heard
what I promised to Dr. Warner. Bear him
witness and me. What I have said Is tha
truth. But stay take the babe away. Hi
troubles me!"
Kate snatched her Babe Rupert to her
bosom.
"None shall ask me twice to take my child
away!" she was beginning Indignantly, but
Veronica took her gently by the arm and
led her out, throwing a glance back at me
which said, "Stay where you are I will
take care of her!"
Aa soon as the door was shut Mr. Glen
donwyn took up his tale.
wl;hes It snd I am
"To be brief, I quarreled with Dr. War
ner about my acn, Rupert. He had been
his companion abroad, and desired to trsde
upon certain knowledge he possessed In
order to blackmail me. I struck him in
tho face tot something that he said about
my son, and the tablet which I had put up
to his memory. He would have gone away,
but being angry, I challenged him to fight,
giving blm bis choice of aword or pistol.
We fought la this room. And at th.ond
engage be ran through tbe lung. It la
bleeding inwardly, he says, and I tannot
live. Tbe doctor from Kllgour will be
here in an, hour Dr. Arbuthnot, from
Drumfern, In the morning. Warner waa
to send them on aa he passed through.
He will keep bla word, I know, aa I did
mine to him.
Us lay a good while uotlonlef, breath-
log with difficulty. Then he continued.
"But It ts all useless. I know It. I can
feel It. Besides, Warner told me the truth.
He hid every reason for lying to me. It
was that which fixed me In my resolve
" to get him off. He haa the means of es
cape, and tomorrow he will re beyond the
reach of pursuit. Now I am weary o
weary! Let me He down and rest awhile.
And, John, when Dr. Chlsholra comes and
Arbuthnot, do not let them probe the wound
or give me pain. Let anv old man die In
peace. It was done In defense of his dear
son's good name!"
Hla breath aeemed to be slowly drown
ing out.
"Where is my dsughter?" he went on
with Increasing difficulty of uttersnce.
"Rupert's wife I want her! She had a
soft hand a winsome way. But Rupert
should not have married not without tell
ing me. And then he would not have mar
ried at all. Nevertheless, aend for her!"
Kate came, In her arma Babe Rupert.
She stood before the bed, still a little
hurt because she had been asked to tak
the babe away. She did not know that
Mr. Glendonwyn had done It to spare her
the knowledge of her husband's past wlld
nees. The old man looked at her strangely.
Then he smiled.
"Have you any message?" he aald,
simply.
She understood Instantly. A dark flush
overspread her face, rising to her brow.
"Yea," she answered, bursting Into a
passion of tears, "tell hlra that I love him
I love him love him aa when I first put my
hand in bis!"

bouse of Glendinwyn that Is to say. for the
son of the late Mr. Rupert Olendonwyn,
now a lad of growing form and much per
sonal comeliness, dwelling In the manse
of his unele, the Reverend John Olendon
wyn. minister of the Free Tresbyterlnn
church In the pirish of Oower. In which
bouse also Mrs. Rupert Olendonwyn, his
mother reside.
The Great House is shut up that la
so far as any public entertainment Is con
cerned. But I hal the pleasure of taking
tea with Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Orierson
In the housekeepers' room the other dsy
and I am bound to say that a more affec
tionate husband and a more douce and
amenable housewife It bad never been my
lot to see together It waa a pleasure
merely to observe them.
As to David Olendennlng and his sons
tho Old Gray Wolf duly removed himself
according to his pltdged word, and for
long held no Intercou-se with either cf his
daughters. But a aevere Illness which Falr
lle had In the second year of her married
life brought him ovei to aee ber. Since
which time Intercourst has been not only
frequent but cordial. The matter of hla
vow, I suppoee, he has reconciled to his
ccnsclenee by the far', that the eventa
which brought about the reconciliation of
Kate and her husband's family took place
during hia absence, as alio the marriage of
Falrlle and Mr. John Oletdowyn.
But I think it will be pretty clear to any
Impartial student of thes records that, If
David Ulendcnnlng had not Intended some
thing of the kind to happe) at least so far
as Falrlle and John wert concerned he
would not have dispatchel Falrlle up to
Bennangower that June aftrrnoon with the
Important deed transferring the Boatcroft
propei-'y to the deacon's court of the Free
Presbyterian kirk, and then betaken him
self out of the way. To eay the least of it,
the .'ollocation of events Is Instructive.
As for Veronica she has never married,
being, as she often goes out of her way to
prove, a thousand times better employed
in maVing otter people'a cilldren happy
than In making other people miserable with
her own. As site foretold loig ago, she Is
a paragon of "a'jntlcs," and to universally
In request that her father (low, alas, a
widower) declarea that hs onlj aees her at
breakfast or at baptisms!
Lastly, there is the larger manse that
now stands beside tbe beautiful kirk which
has arisen on tbe old Boatcroft roperty by
tbe great bend of the Gower water. Kats
Is still there., sweet, beautiful, lignlfled
her mind calm as a mountain tan. She la
happy In her boy bright, generois, truth
ful, brave, to whom John Is like a father,
and who himself Is an older brother to tha
two children of the manse.
And when I was last present at tie morn
ing oblation there John Glendonwyn read
aloud from the great bible (which h all be
had taken from tbe house to wilch he
might once have been served heln these
words amongst others perhaps tht most
beautiful and harmonious writ li our
English tongue, "Look upon Zlon tie city
of our solemnities: thine eyes shdl sea
Jerusalem a quiet habitation '
For there the glorious Lord will be unto
us a place of broad rivers and streams,
wherein shall go no galley with oars,
neither shall gallant ahlp pass thereby."
I had not previously understood the
meaning of these stately and so emu
phrases, but now, lookiug out on the min
ing breadths of . the Gower water, voll of
sail and unstirred by oar, with tbe tills of
heather and tbe splrca of Kllgour dreimy
In the distance, I seem to catch a gltnpse
of that other Zlon and Its peace where tbe
Inhabitants shall not say I am sick, and
where the people that dwell therein sull
be forgiven their Iniquity.
