CAMPSIE GLEN.

The next morning, between nine and
ten clock, there was Il rapping at his
door, and then q further rapplng, and
then he awoke-confused, uncertain as to
ms whereabouts and with his head going
like threshing machine. Again there
came the loud rapping.
Come in, then, he called aloud.
The door was opened, and there was the
young widow smiling and iocund as the
morn. and very smartly attired, and
alongside of her was a servant-lass bear
ing small tray, on which were II tumb-
Ter, pint bottle of champagne. and some
angostura Ditters.

When they had left he dressed as rapid

Breakfast was awaiting him, though it
did not tempt nm much.
And then. Dy-and by. the smart dogcart
was at the door, and "A hamper was put in;
and Kate MenIes got up and took the

and laughing and saucy; she wore a driv-

And then came along the great evening
ON which the first of Ronald : songs that
Mr.. Jap had set to music was to he sung
at the Harmony Club. Ronald had un,
luckily got into the way of going a good
deal to that club. 1t was a relief from
weary days and vain regrets it was IA
way of escape from the too profuse favors
that Kate MenZies wished TO shower upon
him. Moreover, he had become very
popular there. His laugh was hearty
his jokes and sarcasms were always good

night and long after the club was closed
certain of these boon companions would

window there rang out into the empty
street the oft-repeated chorus

But Just drapple in our e'e;
The cock may craw the day may draw,
And aye we'll taste the barley bree!"

of the thunders of cheering that followed
Good friends and neighbors, life is short,

And laughs our very best to scorn
Well, well; We'll have, if that be so,
