tion to turn myself. Our conversation
was getting exhausted, ~ every sugges-
ton fell away, leaving only an addition
to the prevailing gloom, when ! started,
more by chance than good guidance, the
question whether the deacon had any
enemies.
To this I got an answer which sur.
prised me, for Of all the men in the
world the deacon might have been sup
posed to possess an immunity from the
incursions of revenge. ,
''I had forgotten. said she as she
seemed to revert 10 some idea which
startled her. Eyes, there In one man l
fear. Strange never thought Of it till
ye put the question; yes, his own broth
er, o. the same blood, born Of the same
mother-Angus Macgillivray, fiesher in
the Fleshmarket Close. That man has
been the very curse o. our family. He
was a sweetheart o. mine before got
acquainted with the deacon, but never
liked him so that could have married
him, or rather i aye feared him for his
passions, let alone his trade O killing
lambs. He never forgave our marriage,
and I'm no sure If he didna hate mo as
much as he did his brother. He never
came to see us, though the deacon often
invited him, prayed him TO let byganes
be byganes, nor even after he married
wife o. his ain did he forget and for
give, Just az il he felt dissatisfied that
he had ma got some revenge, and then,
to make things waur, the deacon got
rich as he got poor, a change that never
could be forgiven. SO things went on
for years, nae reconciliation, but as
their ways lay different and they seldom
met there were few opportunities for
quarrels Now a thao things como mp
upon me, and mair, for il is only six
months syne that Angus, having met
che deacon In tavern, got into wrath
and made threats which forced the dea-
con to swear lawborrows against
him."
These words, uttered In the peculiar
tone Of grief and fear, made an impress
sion upon me which trisd to conceal,
and it was aggravated by that involun-
tary action of the nerves which doctors
call working up," an effect consequent
upon n process Of reasoning where all
the ideas are led by the feelings. i sat
for some time without speaking, for l
felt that IL would have made matters
worse to admit what thought, and an
effort to cheer does not do much good

Many years ago when ! first came to
Edinburgh and was attending the uni
versity, became acquainted with the
family of Mr.. Duncan Macgillivray,
who lived in Borthwick's Close. He oc.
cupied the dignified position in those
days of q deacon, his craft being that OF
the hammermen, and therefore may be
supposed to have been pretty well to do
in the world, fact Of some Importance
to me, who was stepped In the blessings
of a f1O bursary, supplemented by an
occasional bag Of meal and junket Of
salt beef, not the very best kind OF food
for the muses., then worshiped by me.
So it was that i had o great love for
Mrs. Macgillivray's tea table, and by
consequence respect for tho mistress
herself.
One afternoon, when resorted to my
old haunt, expecting to find the hearth
gods all in good humor, as usual, was
surprised to meet Mrs. Macgillivray in
the lobby, with q face wherefrom the
accustomed smile was totally banished
and its place occupied by pale fear.

true, yet could see no great reason for

parlor took q scat alongside Of her

There was, however, wonderfully lit
tie to be got. She could tell me of no
reason for his absence. There was no
journey he had intended to undertake.
He had no habits Of intemperance which
might have laid him up in q tavern nor
any loose inclinations that could have
wiled him into any Of the dens Of the
dissolute Neither, SO far as she could
say, had he any money upon him to
