THE YEAR TERRIBLE.

This is what I, Quintin Mac Clellan,
saw on the grassy summit of the Ben
nan, a thing, which being seen in an
hour, changed all my life, and so in
time, by the grace of God and the
chafe of circumstances, made me for
good or evil the man I am.
I was a herd laddie at the time,
keeping my fathers fiocks and kick
ing up my heels among the collie tykes
like many another shepherd boy in the
wide moorish parishes of Minnigae,
DAIRY, and the Kells.
Now, my father (and his father ,e-
fore him) had been all his life n
dweller" in the hill farm of ArdarrG ch,
which sits on the purple brae-face
above the loch of Ken, with a little
circumambient yard of cattle offices
and dozen red-stemmed fir trees, in
which the winds and the birds sing,
after their kind, summer and winter.
1t was the high summer of the fatal
year, 1885, when 1 saw the sight which
put an end to my childhood. Well do I
mind it that year. for among others.
my father had to go for a while into
hiding-not that he was any over
strenuous Covenant man, but solely
because he had never in his life refused

full of freits and caperings, his sister
Gray, on the other hand. sober as
hill-preaching when Clavers is out
looking for it.
AS for Ashie. he nipped himself in the
flank and pursued after his own tail as
If he had taken some ill-will at it, But
old maidish Gray sat erect, cooking her
short ears and keeping a sharp eye on
the netting lambs, which went aimless-
in vain holms as kindly. and pastures
as succulent as those of the valley
crofts from which my father had driven
them a day or two before.
For myself, I had been singing a
merry stave, one you may be sure that
I did not let my mother or my sister
Anna hear. 1 had learnt it from wild
David. who had brought the broad
sheet back with him from Keltonhill
Fair. Thus I had been carrolling, gay
as the leverlock which watched f1irt-
ing and pulsing upwards out of the dun
bents of the fell. But after while
the small print of my book and perhaps
also the high instructiveness of thu
matter inclined me towards sleep.
The bleating of the sundered lambs
desirous of motherly udders fell more
soothingly and plaintively to my ear.
1t seemed to bring dreams pleasant and
delightful with it. I heard the note of
it sink and change to that heavenly
murmuring that comes with drowsiness,
or which mayhap is but the sound Of
the porter opening the poppy gates Of
sleep. and which may break yet more
delightfully."- on our ears when the gates
that open for us are the Gates Of Death.
I suppose that all the afternoon the
whaups had piped and "willy-whaeed,"
the snipes bleated and whinnied over
head, and that the peewits had COM

as a number of the soldiers let off their
pieces at me, firing, I think, half in
sport and half from feeling of cha
grin that they had let a more impor-
tant victim escape them. I heard the
whisk-whisk of the balls as they flew
wide, and one whizzed past my ear and
buried itself with a vicious spit in the
moss a yard or two before me as ran.
But all harmless, and soon was out
of range. For think it was more in
cruel jest and with raffish laughter
than with any intent to harm me that

I knew well what it meant in a mo-
ment. The man hunt was afoot The
folk Of God were being pursued like the
partridge upon the mountain. 1t might
be that the blood of my own father was
even now making another crimson bios

taking advantage of every tummock of
heather and boss of tall bent grass.
Ashie and Gray crawled after me, stiff
with intent hate, but every whit as flat
ly prone and as infinitely cautious as
their master.
For they, too, had been born in the
days Of fear, and the spirit of the game
had entered into them ere ever they
emerged from the blindness of puppy

(Note by Hob Mac Clellan, brother Of
the writer.)

It chances that I, Hob Mac Clellan,
have come into possession of the papers
of Quintin, my brother. and also Of
many interesting documents that be-
longed to him. In time I shall leave
them to his son Quintin, but ere they
pass out of my hands it is laid upon me
that I insert sundry observes upon
them for the better understanding of
what Quintin hath written.
For this brother Of mine. whom for
love I served forty years as thirled
laborer serves for his meat, whom I
kept from a thousand dangers, whom
I guided like mother doth BARN
that learns to walk, holding it by the
COATES behind-this Quintin, whose
wrapt and godly to be we'll able to
take care of the things of the moment,
and all his life needed one to be in
tendance upon him, and to see that all
went forward as it ought.
My mother and his, shrewd woman
Of the borderside stock, Elliott her
name, used often to say, Hob, keep
a firm catch O. Quintin. For though
he may stir up the world and have the
care Of all the churches, yet like BARN
he needs one to draw tight the buckle
of his trews and see that he goes not
to preach in the habit in which he rose
from bed!"
So it came about that I, having no
clearness as to leaving him to himself,
abode mostly with him, keeping the
door Of his chamber as it were, on all
the great occasions Of his life. And
Quintin my brother, though we differed
oftimes, ever paid me in love and the
bond Of an unbroken brotherhood. And
through all I abode plain dour Hob
Mac Clellan to all the parish and wider
far-the minister's brother!"
Now, though 1 hold to it that there
never was a man in the world like our
Quintin, at least, since Richard Gamer
on was put down in red-running blood
on the Moss of Ayr, yet I am free to
admit that Quintin often saw things
without that saving salt of humor
which would have given him so much
easier tramp through the whins and
thickets Of life.
But this could not be. Quintin had
by nature mother-wit enough, but he
took things too hardly, and let them
press upon his spirit when he had bet
ter have been on the ice at the channel
stanes than on his knees in his closet.
At least that is my thought Of it.
For some men see the upper side of
human affairs, and some the under.
But few see both sides of things. And

heard my mother sing me a lullaby
somewhere among the tranced fields.
Suddenly the cradle-song ceased.
Through shut eyelids, I grew conscious
of disturbing influence. Though my
face nestled deep down in the crook of
my arm, I knew that Ashie and Gray
had all suddenly sat up.
"Oof-f" quoth Ashie, protestingly,
deep in his stomach so that the sound
would carry no further than his mas
ter's ears.
"Gur-r-r!" growled Gray. yet more
softly, the black wicks of her mouth
pulled away from her wicked shining
eye-teeth.
Thinking that the sheep were stray
ing and that it might be as we'll by a
timely shout to save myself miles and
miles of hot chase over the heather I
sat UP, ungraciously discontented to be
thus aroused, and yet more unreason-
ably angry with the dogs whose watch
fulness had recalled ME to the realities
of life.
AS I raised my head the sound of the
cnddov,1y 1nrI6
almost indeed insolently insistent. The
suppressed far-away hush of Dream
land scattered itself like broken glass
before the brisk clamor of the broad,
wind stirred day.
I glanced at the flock beneath me.
They were feeding and straying quietly
enough, rather widely, perhaps, but
nothing to make fret about.
"Restless tykes!" muttered, irrita-
bly. striking right and left at the dogs
with my staff. Dell take you, silly
beasts that you are!"
"Ouf-f!" said Ashie, warningly, as
before from a safer distance, his nose
pointing directly away from the heft-
ing lambs. Gray said nothing. but un-
covered her shining teeth little fur
ther and cooked her ears towards the
summit of the Bennan behind me.
I looked about me high and low, but
still could see no cause for alarm.
Daft brutes! Silly beasts" cried
again, more Grossly than ever. And
with that 1 was about to consign my
self to sleep again. or at least to seek
the pleasant paths of a ay-dreamland
from which I had been recalled.
But the dogs, with bristling hair.
cooked ears, and proudly plumaged
tails were already ten yards up the
slope toward the top Of the fell. shifting
as belligerently as though they scented
an intrusive stranger dog at the en-
tering in of the sacred inclosure of the
farm yard of Ardarroch.
l was reaching for my stick to deal
it literally between them when watt
of warm summer wind brought to my
ear the sound Of the distant crying of
man. Then came the clear imperative
"crack! crack!" of musket shots-frst
two, and then half-a-dozen close to-
gether. sharp and distinct as an eager
school-boy swapping his finger and
thumb to call the attention of the mas
ter to whom he has been forbidden to

ened rocks of the Bennan. But now
we had to come out into the open. The
last thirty yards of the ascent were
bare and shelterless-the short messy
scalp of turf upon them being clean
shaven as if cut with razor.
My heart beat fast, can tell you,
who read this tale so comfortably by
the ingle-nook. I held it with my hand
as I crept upward. Ashie and Gray
followed like four-footed guardian
angels behind, now dragging them
selves painfully yard by yard upon
their bellies, now lying motionless as
stone statues, their moist jowls pressed
to the ground and their dilated nos
trils snuffing the air for the intelli-
gence which only my duller eyes could
bring me.
Yet knew the risks Of the attempt.
For as soon as l had left the shelter of
the boulders and scattered clumps of
heather and bent, knew that I was
plain to the sight as a fly crawling over
the shell of an egg.
Nevertheless, with quick rush I
reached the top and set my head over.

THE BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS.
The broad, fiat tabletop of the sum-
nit spread out before me like an exer-
else ground for troops or a race-course
for horses.
Yet not all barren and desolate, for
Il nd hoy ft,ar "a
peeped forth the bloom of the young
heather, making a livelier purple amid
the burnt brown of the short grass,
which in it's turn was diversified by the
vivid emerald green circling the
"quacking-quass'' or bottomless moss
holes of the bogs beneath.
Now this is what saw, lying on my
face, with my chin set over the edge
two men in tattered peat-stained
clothing running for their lives toward
the edge Of the little plateau farthest
from me.
Between me and them twenty or thir-
ty dragons were urging their horses
forward in pursuit, weaving this way
and that among the soft larry places,
and as many more whose steeds had
stuck fast in the moss, were coursing
| the fugitives on foot as though the
poor men had been beasts of the field.
Every now and then one of the pur-
suers would stop. set his musket to his
shoulder and blaze away with a loud
report and a drift of white smoke,
shouting joyously, as at a rare JEST
whether he hit or missed. And 1
thought that the poor lads would make
good their escape with such sorry
marksmen. But even while was put
ting up a prayer for them as l lay
painting upon the manifest edge, a
chance shot struck the smaller and
more slender of the wanderers. He
stumbled, poor wretch, and fell forward
upon his face. Then, mastering him
self, and recognizing his grievous case
and how much of mercy he had to look
for, If his enemies came up with him,
his strong spirit for an instant mas
tered his bodily hurt.
He rose Immediately, set his hands
one over the other upon his side, doubt
less to stay the yelling gap the bullet
had made and ran yet more deter
minedly after his companion. But
close to the further verge his power
went from him. His companion halted

times made my heart cheeriest, ap-
peared to him but as the cracking of

And so when it shall be that this

Quintin's life (for it is both wondrous
and true) is finally set forth for the
