They were thus talking when there came
knock at the outer door: then there was
clamor of voices in the little lobby and
presently there were ushered into the
room three visitors, who were forthwith
introduced to Ronald, with few words
OF facetious playfulness from the widow.
There was first Mr.. Jasp, a little old man
with Jewish features, bald on the top of his
head, but with long flowing gray hair be-
hind a mild looking old man, but with
merry eyes nevertheless indeed all
of them seemed to have been Joking as
they came in. Then there was Mr.. Laid
law, younger man. of middle height,
and OF horsy type stupid-looking rather,
but not ill-natured The third was Cap
tain McTaggart. II large, heavy man, with
vast, radiant, Bardolphian face, whose
small, shrewd, twinklng blue eyes had
the expression rather of a Clyde skipper
given to rough testing and steady rum
drinking (and he was all that than of the
high-souled, child hearted sailor of ro-
nance.

But he would not sing any more that
night he guessed that she must have her
business affairs to attend to. and he was
resolved upon going, in spite of all her
importunacy. However, as condition,
she got him to promise to come and see
her on the following evening 1t was
Saturday night; several of her friends
were in the habit of dropping in on that
night. Finally she pressed her entreaty
so that he could not well refuse and hav-
ing promised he left
And no doubt US lie went home through
the great, noisy, lonely city, he felt
warmed and cheered by this measure of
human companionship that had befallen
him. AS for Kate Menzies, 1t would have
been a poor return for her excessive
kindness if he had stopped to ask himself
whether her robust culnttruderiC did not
annoy him little. He had plenty of OPP
portunities of becoming acquainted with
the manners and speech and ways Of re-
fined and educated women indeed, there
are few gamekeepers in the Highlands
who have not at one time or another en-
joycd that privilege. Noble and gracious
Indies who in the south would as soon
think of talking to a door mat as of enter
ing into any kind of general conversation
with their butler or coachman will fall
quite naturally into the habit-when they
are living away in the seclusion Of a High
land glen, with the shooting party at the
lodge-of stopping to have a chat with
Duncan or Hector, the Camekeeper, when
they chance to meet him coming along the
road with his dogs; and, what is more,
they find him worth the talking to. Then,
again, had not Ronald been an almost
daily spectator of Miss Douglass sweet
and winning manners-and that continued
through years-and had not the young
American lady, during the briefer period
she was in the north, made quite a COM
panion of him, in her frank and brave
fashion? He had almost to confess to
himself that there was just a little too
much of Mrs. Menzies' tempestuous good
nature; and then. again, he refused to
confess anything of the kind, and quarrel
led with himself for being so ungrateful.
Why the first bit of real heartfelt friend
illness that had been shown him since he
came to this great city, and he was to eX-
anime it, and be doubtful, and wish that
the keeper of a tavern should be little
more refined
"Ronald lad," he was saying to him
self when he reached his lodging in the
dusky Port Dundas Road its overfed
stomachs that wax proud. Iou'll be bet
ter minded if you keep to your books and
palmer living"

And so the banquet proceeded-a roast
fON and bacon, an apple tart, cheese aud
biscuits and what not following in due
succession and all the time she was learn
ing more and more of the life that Ron
aid had led since he had left the Iothians,
and freely she gave him of her condolences
in return. On one point she was curious
ly inquisitive, and that was as To whether
he had not been in some ENHANCEMENT
with one or other of the Highland lasses
up there in Sutherandshire and there
was considerable amount of Joking on
that subject, which Ronald bore good
naturedly enough finding it. on the
whole, the easier way to let her surmises
have free course.
"But ye're n dark one ~ she said at
length. And ye would haze me believe
that strapping fellow like you hasna
had the lasses rinnin after him? I'm no
sac daft"
"Ill tell We what it is, Katie" he re-
torted, 1.-THE lasses in the Highlands have
their work to look after they dinna live
a in clover, like the Glasgow danes"
Dinna tell MEDINA tell me-" she
said
And now, as supper was over and the
table cleared she went to a small mahog-
any drawer and opened it.
" keep some cigars here for my partic-
ular friends, said Mrs. Menzies, " but Pm
sure dinna ken which is the best. Come

PASTEUhS METHOD UF iNNOCULATlON.
Mr.. Pasteur injects this mild virus with a
hypodermic syringe into the skin of the left
breast of the patient. and this is the way the
Newark boys will be treated. He obtains
the mild or attenuated virus by innoculating
a rabbit with the virus Of a rabid dog, From
this rabbit virus is taken to innocnlate an
other, and SO on, each one showing less and
less the hydrophobiac symptoms; thus he can
produce virus of any strength. Why one of
these rabbits could not be sent to this coun-
try. and one of our able surgeons perform
the slight operation necessary on those New
ark boys would not suit the dramatic French
people. No; "the mountain must come to
Mohammed' in this case, and for the sake of
humanity let us hope the results may be sue
ccSsful
Many of the French papers notice Pas-
teur's researches facetiously. One suggests
that he exhibit his skill by an operation on
Rochefort. Ladies' have petitioned him to
devote the remainder of his life to the eradi-
cation of another form of madness which is
most virulent in their country, namely,
jealousy. Whatever his after researches
nay accomplish, if he can but prove that
death from hydrophobia can be prevented,
then has he already immortalized himself.

Mr.. Piatt inherited his thrift from his ia
Goblin ancestry. John H. Piatt, an uncle of
his, was successful merchant and banker Of
Cincinnati, ani contributed much to the
early prosperity Of that city. Mr.. Piatt's
tinguished himself in ths revolution.
The Piatts have always been possessed
of considerable farnily pride, and well they
may The owner of this beautiful house at
Mac-ochee has had sufficiently varied
career to distinguish any family. From a
promising lawyer to a Judge Then from
secretary of the legation at Paris under the
administration Of President Pierce to charge
das' iires. From private in the war of the
Ne ion to q coionelcy, Then member Of
Ohio legislature, and afterwards from
vspaper correspondent, and the most
brilliant of the time, to the proprietorship
of The Capital, journal which George
Alfred Townsend assisted him in founding,
but which the shrewd Col. Piatt abandoned
because it was improbable. Col. Piatt in
herited, with his Jacooin thrift, much of
their self-reliance and also some of their
cynical disposition, which latter has brought
him at swords points with those who dared
criticize or restrain him.
President Lincoln well expressed this trait
Of Col Piatt's when the latter was proposed
as successor to Gen. Schenck, VINO had
been electel to congress Mr.. Lincoln said:
'Schenck a;,d Piatt are both good fellows
If there is amy rotten apples in the barrel
they can be counted on to hook 'em out; but,
gentlemen, they run their machine on too
high a level for me. don't have much
obedience, but a little IS necessary, you
know.
That was just it. Col Piatt had natural
talent enough to be one Of the foremost
statesmen Of the country. His home might
have been the "Greystone" or political
| mecca, but the proprietor Of Mac-o-chee
could not be bent Or restrained. He was
considered dangerous man in politics, and
has therefore been passed by.
His home, though, Is a credit to the state
| It is built Of a creamy tinted stone, quarried
right on his estate. In fact, all the wood
used in its construction, with the exception
Of the pine, was grown there also. He has
been adding to the house for the past thirty
| years, 50 that the building now measures
65xl00 feet, and must have cost at least
$4,000. It is situated in delightful valley,
and is, indeed, cne Of the beautiful homes Of
America. J. B. FENToN.
