prehensively, with a view to changing the
subject.
This produced a lengthy and rambling
reply, after which Uncle Sandy avowed
his intention of closing his eyes for a quar-
ter of an hour. He therefore re-ascended,
with his ''nayfew's" help, to his room.
Nine. Debrisay excused herself, because
she had promised to visit some professional
friends, so Mona was left alone with her
newly discovered cousin.

A very few lines sufficed; a few direc-
tons as to trains were added, and the note
was sent.
The following Sunday was dull and gray,
but dry.
Dinner was being placed on the table
when Mona, who had neen to church, en-
tared. Uncle Sandy had already taken
his place, and Nine. Debrisay was in the
act of gracefully indicating his seat to a
young mana young man whose appear
ance startled Mona.
Hearing Uncle Sandy always speak OF
his may few" as a "laddie," she uncon-
sciously formed a picture of an understood,
shy lad, slight and insignificant, with the
family freed heid"-something in style
between a shop-boy and an erraud-boy.
She actually beheld q very tall, well-built
figure, surmounted by an exceedingly black
head, the hair short and thick; heavy dark
eyebrows, and large, dark, deep-set, fash
ing eyes; an aquiline nose; high cheek
bones; a pathetic mouth, with somewhat
dOwn-curved corners, unmasked by mus
tache, and a deep red-brown complexion.
"This is Kenneth Macalister-your cous-
in Kenneth" quoth Mr.. Craig, as he tucked
a napkin under his chin.
Mona bowed and smiled, but Macalister
took a large stride forward, holding out a
big, bony, brown hand, and reddening as
he exclaimed

make your acquaintance"
There was a certain dignity in his car

Town for a few days. She insisted that

The next afternoon Mona set out to keep

80 glad to see you, dearl Finistoun is
cut, and We shall nave such a nice long
chat"
Evelyn made Mona feel quite at home,
and insisted on a full history of all that
had happened since she had last seen her.
When Mona spoke of her uncle, she said
DO tell me what the uncle is like"
Mona gave the history of their first meet
ing.

Somewhere near Glasgow. Ny fathers

And where does he live when he is at

in the Western Highlands called Craig

toun, in great surprise. "Why, that Is
close to S~trathairlie. l remember hearing

CHAPTER XII.-A DILEMMA.

Nine. Debrisay's words respecting Mona's
sacrifices for her uncle had sunk into his
! soul.
He was generally a taciturn individual;
but at times communicative fits would seize
him, of which, when they were past, he
seemed half ashamed.
Mona's absence on the Sunday afternoon
when she had lunched with Lady Fins
toun, was a stumbling-block and rock Of
~offense.
"Leddy Finistoun, indeed" he muttered,
not addressing anyone in particular. She
and her people would lave left the grille
to starve, and she must run back to eat Of
her bread. That's not the right spirit"
But, uncle" said Mona, who was look
ing for the city article in the Times, Eve
Ign was always fond of me. She is not
responsible for what her people did"
"Eh! They are all birds of the same
feather. I'd have nowt to do wi them"
Lady Finistoun sought me, uncle. 1t
would have been ungracious to reject her
advances"
"Oh! gang yer ain gate. The young al
ways know better than the old and eXper-
fenced"
Mona did not reply, and there was a
pause. She found the article she had been
looking for, and had just begun to read
when Uncle Sandy stopped her, exclaim-
ing
"Bide a bit. I want to speak to you.'
She laid down the newspaper, a little
alarmed at the ominous beginning.
Tell me TRUTH" he resumed. "How are

CHAPTER xI.-GLIMPsEs OF THE PAST.

CHAPTER Al.-GLlMPSES OF THE PAST.
After this first visit Kenneth Macalistel
came frequently on Sundays, and some
times of a weekday evening. He would
appear between eight and nine o'clock
having walked straight from the city after
business-just to stretch his limbs, he said
after sitting cramped at q desk all day long
Mr.. Craig, though by no means cordial
In his welcome, on the whole encouraged
him to come, and seemed pleased that
Mona lent him books from her scanty store,
or played to him, which gave him great
delight. Indeed she grew quite fond OF
the queer, half-developed, irritable, i'm,
questionable young man, who found such
evident pleasure in her society.
The winter wore on. 1t was severe; but
/. Mona going constantly out kept free from
cold. Kenneth had been gradually adopted
by her, and was her companion on many
a Sunday. Indeed, Mrs. Puddiford and
her servant considered him to be Miss
Craig'S "young man" From this com
panionship Kenneth learned much of man
ners and even modes of thought-learned,
too, with the rapidity Of an imaginative,
impressiOnable nature. He admired and
looked up to his cousin with profound Cor
victiOn. His society amused Mona, and
helped to make her feel younger and more
cheerful. Her W spirits were exceed
ingly variable. Sometimes Uncle Sandy's
cutting remarks and utter want of tact
!. would raise his nephew's wrath, and he
would pour out his wounded feelings with
much ~volubility to his cousin, who gener-
ally reasoned with, and calmed him.

"Come, Kenneth, don't insult the Craigs;
they are my people, and you must not be
rude"
You are quite different; you are a queen
so you seem to me. but you don't insult
a fellowI I'll not come near Uncle Sandy

Till next Sundayi' interrupted Mona.
"What should 1 do without my walk9
And, Kenneth, l always want you to come
with me-"
"Oh, I'll come, cousin Monai No fear:
you sha'n't want your walk for me; but
Sandy Craig is no gentleman, though he
is my mothers Observation-Disclosures, l
mean"
Kenneth continued to speak, but his
words conveyed no sense to Mona, for her
eyes had been attracted by a well-known
figure.
"This conversation had taken place as
the cousins were walking. They had come
through Kensington Gardens, past the AL
bert Memorial, and, reaching the road,
turned west, intending to return by Palace
Gardens. Just in the narrowest part of
the High Street, at the opposite side, two
men stood talking-one short, stout, bowed
and bull-necked, with amazingly
tight trousers, a gaudy neck-tie, and a
most horsey and repellant aspect. He had
his back toward Mona as she came up.
The gentleman with whom he was in deep
conversation, and who faced her, was

Craig upstairs, he sat down by the table,
resting his elbow on it, and shading his
eyes with his hand, he looked c~uriously at
Mona, who was reading a French book of
travels, which she laid down politely on
his re-appearing.
"When my uncle wrote to me that he
had found his brothers daughter, l did
not think 1 should find you such a grand
young lady. You don't seem to belong to
US, though the Macalisters are an old
stock"
You see I was always brought up in
London and on the Continent; that makes
me seem different. am not grand"

lively, more than that. Yet you are like

"Your locks are more golden than red"
said the young Highlander, with an admir-
ing smile; but Mary's are browner, and
she seems younger"
And | suppose you enjoy getting away
to the mountains and lochs of your native
placer"
"Ehi it's another life. 1 had not been
back for two years. and | had no mother
to welcome me this time"
THAT made asad difference" said Mona,
softly.
He did not speak Immediately, and when
he did, it was to ask in an altered tone
Were you ever in the Highlands"

To be sure | haven't seen much else, but
there can be nothing finer. Whether it's
the gray dawn flushing redder and redder

moonlight; and the air so fresh and free;
the springy heather, that makes your step

tone, my uncle may be will ask you to
