CHAPTER 1.-THE MAN ON THE
MUIR

Indeed, 1t is no shame to a man to nave
fear in his nature. 1t is, l well believe,
born in mans blood; and he hath no
more to do with 1T than with who was his
father. Yet mark the great crying that
there has been in all ages about brave
men and valiant men, and men that have
never known fear. Yet what credit IS
there In such like? They cannot help 1t
more than could help having an eye that
had a cast in it Or such like had), or red
hair, or a nose turned up at the end like
that of a wild Eirionach. Yet such men
come to honor. and their sons inherit it.
For this also is the folly of the times.
We rode out of Edinburgh. passing the
gates without question. for Sir James
was man in good odor with the govern
ment. We had bitter winters day for
our Journey. and we had trouble
enough to keep warm, yet with wrap
pings of foreign fur and flask of French
brandy We managed to shut out the cold.
Also our hearts were somewhat cheered,
and our converse grew more heartsome.
Thus making merry. TO the extent even
of singing a catch or two which Sir James
had learned in the old wars, and which l
heard for the first time though not Who'll
ly with approval. yet with tolerance, we
came to place called Cockmuir. wild
and solitary place. shut In between hills
that have no living thing upon them. No
heartsome reek OF alabited house was to
be seen. The place was in the midst OF
great Wilderness and 1t needed the
Growing of the black cock and the nicher
OF the grouse to make the silence endur-
able. But even these were wanting that
bitter day of gray skies and gripping
frost.
Just as we had gotten fairly to the midst
of the moor there rose ND before us a
man, or. rather, as 1t may be, we came
suddenly upon him. He was standing
stock STILL as IL he had been meditating,
looking away toward the hills of Lam
mermuir. But at the first sound of our
horses feet overlapping the brae, he
turned and showed us the pallid counte-
nance OF a young lad bitten blue with the
winter winds, and with his black clothes
hanging about him as though his limbs
had been so many barren tree branches.
knew him at first glance. It was James
RenwIck, OF Minnyhive, whose mother
was some kin to mine, being also on the
estate of Drumlanrig, where the Douglas
is the father OF us all.
II so happened by rniSchance that Sir
James was putting back his flask OF
strong waters into the breast OF his coat
at the moment when Mr.. Renwick turned
him about. 7 wished that 1t had not been
so; but nevertheless, ! gave him greet
ing. for he had been a child when was a
young lad. and our folk were. as I have
said, some manner Of kin.
Then asked him how he did. and that
IN a pleasant way. But he stood lowering
a; me with eyes so sunken and such a
lost eotntenance that l wished we had
come some other way.
Fear not. James said, FOR this IS

good man; and one that. though a magis-
trate, is no Tl-wisher 70 the folk of the
Hill"
"Ah. John Bell" said young Renwick.
at last, needing my kindly speech no

friendship was made Up OF new. and that
never TO be broken up any more. He was
Silent long season. but at the last he
found his speech.
.-Mr. Bell" said be- 81 will be plain

now my younger, TO whom / had convey

Phfiip is become even as the other. And
this is the more bitter TO me. because that
my heart and my hope were set upon him.
Now his brother, who is the most de-
bauched man IN four counties. has so in
fecfed John that of late he has oftimes
come home IN drink even as the other.
Tell me. was ever man SO driven by his
own"
Then counseled him to try IL there was
not yet some hope OF winning his heart.
IT will cbme with you," said TO en-
courage him, "and 1t may be that his heart
may be moved by my advice, especially
after the miscarriage OF his evil enterprise
upon the Lead Hills"
But Sir James shook his head.
'sThe lad lis too bitterly Joined to his idols.
Once he took service in the Scots regiment
abroad. and / thought that would settle
him; but he was confined in prison. and
got him delivered by my influence with our
ambassador at the Hague Then he was
condemned TO death at Treves, and pro-
vided money wherewith he bribed his jail
ers and so made his escape. i have re-
ceived him into mine own house since his
return. And after all my care and tender
ness II is come 10 that pass OF 1t, that when

I shall get my supper or a musket shot in

said. though. indeed. I saw no great
prospect.
"Ay." replied Sir James, ''s may. !
thought that q good wife might do that
even better. but since l got Philip. my
son, married to a decent lass, have just
another mouth to feed. and 1t makes no
difference TO his debaucheries.'
Nevertheless" said I. II will come to

that we may be able to do something?"
