1t was a day of high summer when
the anger of mine enemies drew finally
to a head, and that within the parish
of Balmaghie. The Presbytery were in
the habit of meeting at place little
way from the center of the parish,
called Cullenoch. or as one would say
in English, 'The Woodlands"
In twos and threes they came, riding
side by side on their ponies, or appear
ing singly out of some pass among the
hills. So the Presbytery assembled at
Cullenoch and the master of it, An

ders from willy Carstairs, the pope Of
the restored Kirk of Scotland
TO this day I can see his aspect as
he rose UP among the brethren with q
great roll in his hand-solemn, por-
tentous. full of suave. easy words and
empty, sonorous utterances.

SYNOPSIS

This is the story of Quintin Mac Clel-
lan's life, written by himself with addi-
tions by his brother Hob. Quintin be-
comes a minister of the State Church of
Scotland, although he is a Covenanter at
heart. 1t is impossible at that time (the

dained a Cameronian (CovenanD minis
ter outside of holland. whittier Quintin is
unable to go; and moreover the advent
of William of Orange to the throne of the
United Kingdom promises a peaceful So
luton of the religious troubles of Scot
land. Quintins first charge is the parish
OF Balmaghie, where he finds firm friends
in Nathan Gemmel, the farmer of Drum
glass. and his daughters Jean and Alex
ander-Jonita. Alexander-Jonita is a
harum-scarum lass, Il veritable child of
Nature; Jean is a girl of gentle ways
upon whom the new minister makes
deep impression. Quntin's parents
come, to help establish him in his
new home, where he is to live with his
brother Hob. Quintin decides to return
to their home in Ardarroch with them be-
cause he wants to see Mary Gordon
whom he has known since childhood
Mary is the daughter of Alexander Cor
don the laird of Earlstoun, a noted
Covenanter. Mary has rebelled against
her strict upbringing and has become an
adherent of the State Church.

THE BONNY LASS OF EARLSTOUN,

THE BONNY LASS OF EARLSTOUN
1t was my intent to accompany my
father and mother back to Ardarroch
in name of an escort, but chiefly that
1 might accept the invitation of the
laird of Earlstoun and once more see
Mary Gordon, the lass whose image
had carried so long on my heart For,
strange as it may appear, when she
went forth from the kirk that day she
left a look behind her which went
straight to my heart.
I tried to shut the desire of seeing
her again out of my heart. But, do
what could, it was not to be. 1t would
arise, coming between me and the very
paper on which wrote my sermon be-
fore l began to learn it by heart.
God forgive a sinful man! At these
times I ought oftimes to have been
thinking of something else. But when
a man carries such a passion in his
heart, all the panoply of heavenly love
is impotent to restrain thoughts thar
fly swift as the light from hilltop to
hilltop at the sunrising.
So l went home to Ardarroch, where
with kind of gratitude, stripped my
coat and fell to the building of dykes
about the home park, and the mending
of managers and corn-chests, till my
mother demonstrated.
"Quintin, are we not ashamed, you.
with parish of hungry souls, to be
knockin at nails and liftin' muckle
stanes on the hill-sides O. Ardarroch 2"
But Anna kept close to me, under
standing my mood. We had always
loved one another. I had used to say
that it was Anna who ought to have
been the minister. For her eyes were
full of fair and gracious light, the
gentle out-shining of true spirit with
in. And as for me, after l had been
with her awhile, 1 was better and
stronger man-at least one less unfit
for holy office.
Right gladly would I have taken
Anna back with me to the manse of
Balmaghie, but I knew we'll that she
would not go.
"Quintin," she would say, "our faith

AS he finished. he laid upon the table
great parchment and tapped it i'm
pressively with his finger.
"It is, if l may be permitted the
words, the message of Gods vice-ger-
ant upon earth. whom his own finger
hath designed to rule over us. And
am we'll assured that no one among
the brethren of the Presbytery will be
so i'll advised as not at once to sign
this declaration of our submission and
dutiful obedience to our Lege Lady in
all things"
This he uttered soundingly, with
much more the same purpose, standing
up all the time and glowering about
him for contradiction.
Then, though l was the youngest
member of the Presbytery (save one),
felt that for the ancient liberty Of the
Kirk, and for the sake of the blood
shed on the moors. l could not permit
so great a scandal to pass l rose in
my place, whilst Cameron looked stead
lily at me, endeavoring to browbeat me
into silence.
Somewhat thus l spoke:
"The most learned and reverend
brother brings us paper to sigma pa

the Church's head, from Gods vice.
gerant. 1t is to be received with hushed
breath and bowed knee. The Head Of
the Church, says Mr.. Cameron-ah,
brethren, the men who entered into
rest through warning stress, sealed with
their blood the testimony that the Kirk
of God has no head upon earth. The
Kirk of Scotland is the Kirk of Jesus
Christ, the alone King and Head of the
Church. The Kirk of Scotland is more
noble, high and honorable in herself
than any government She alone Is
Gods vice-gerant. She alone has power
within her own borders to rule her own
affairs. The Kirk has many faults, but
at least she will surely not be ruled
again by Privy Councils and self-seek-
ing state-craft. She Is the Bride, the
Lambs Wife. And for me, and for any
that may adhere to me, we will sign no
test nor declaration which shall put
our free necks beneath the yoke Of any
temporal power, nor yet for fear Of
this or that Queens Majesty deny the
name that is above every name."
Whilst these words were put unto my
heart and spoken by my voice, l
seemed as it were taken possession of.
A voice prompted me what 1 was to
speak. 1 heard the sound of rushing
wings, and though 1 was but lately a
herd lad on the hills Of sheep, knew
that the time had come, which on the
days of the killing on the Bennan top

brow.

l had not expected any especially
kind welcome. The laird of Earlstour
had been a mighty Covenanter, and
now wore his prisonings and sufferngs
somewhat ostentatiously like so many
orders of merit. He would think little
