ating one of the most heroic and praise
worthy struggles for liberty In the his

After years Of encouragement and
defeat. years when hope seemed dead,
and when the undertaking OF the hand
full Of brave men appeared In every way
too much for them, the light came,
the clouds broRe away. and the Jun
shine of success streamed in upon their
almost broken and dismembered hearts
and fortunes.
With literally nothing left to begin
with, with everything sacrificed upon
the altar Of their country. with the foe
formidable, rich, respected on land and
sea and known and tried Of all men.
the outlook for the Colonists was dark
and disheartening almost beyond pre-
cedent. But then their sublime cour-
age never faltered. their determination
knew no yielding, their hopes were
high and their ambitions limitless.
Sturdily, cheerily and bravely they
went to work to reconstruct and re-
habilitate out of the wreck Of the dis
i%ntegrated remains of a monarchial out

CHAPTER III.-(CoSrIYuEp.)

CHAPTER m.-tCoSTISuEp.)
The day following there was a sim
pie funeral, in a solitary burial place,
seldom used, and lying within a short
distance Of the spot where the body
was found. MI. Lorraine betrayed the
expenses out of his own pocket, saw
that everything was d%ecently, though
simply arranged, and himself read the
beautiful burial service over the coffin.
He had now no doubt in his mind that
the drowned woman was the mother Of
the infant left under his care, and that
by destroying herself she had simply
carried out her desperate determine
ton.
Ali attempts to identify her, how
ever, continued without avail. In
quiries were made on every side, ad-
vertisements inserted in the local
newspapers, without the slightest re-
suit; no one came forward to give any
information. But by this time the
minister's mind was quite made up.
He would keep the child, and, with
Gods blessing, rear her as his own;
he would Justify the unhappy mothers
dependence on his charity and loving
kindness.
So II came to pass that late in the
cleaning Of the old bachelors life the
cry Of a child was heard In the lonely
house; and somehow or other, despite
Solomon Mucklebackit's p~rognostica-
tons. the house became brighter and
merrier for the sound. Solomon him
self soon fell under the spell, and when
a little warm with whisky he would al
Jude to the child, with a comic sense
of possession, as "oor BARN."
AT last. one day, there was a quiet
christening in the old kirk, where Mr..
Lorraine had officiated so many years.
Mysie held the infant in her arms,
while Solomon stood at hand, blinking
through his horn spectacles, and the
minister performed. the simple cere-
mony.
After long and tender deliberation
the minister had fixed upon a name,
which he now gave to the poor little
castaway, who had neither father nor
mother, nor any kinsfolk in the world
after whom she could be. called.
He christened her Marjorie AMMAN.
Marjorie, after that other beloved
Marjorie, who had long before Joined
oil so he dreamed-the bright celes-
tial band; Amman, after that troubled
water wherein the miserable mother
had plunged and died.

the High street of the market town of
Dumfries. Her dress was prettily IL
not professionally cut, a straw hat
shaded her bright blue eyes, and her
boots and gloves were those of a lady.
Under her arm she carried several
books-school books. to all intents and
purposes.
BY her side. talking to her eagerly,
was a young man about three years her
senior.
From time to time as she tripped
along with Ler companion she lad to
stop and exchange words with passers-
by who greeted her by name: and.from
many OF the shop doors and windows
friendly heads nodded and bright
faces beamed. 1t was clear that she
was we'll known In the little town, and
a general favorite. Indeed, there were

nan, the foster-child and adopted
daughter Of Mr.. Lorraine.
Her companion, John Sutherland,
was fair complexioned and very pale.
He was plainly clad In a suit of dark
tweed, and wore a wide-awake hat.
His whole aspect ~betokened delicate
health, and there was a sad light in his
blaze eyes which told Of a thoughtful
spipit lodging within. His manners
were gentle and retiring In the ex-
treme.

jorie had asked, after some previous
conversation.

I'm going down to see the old folk

Marjorie nodded, smiling gayly.

She blushed slightly, and dropped her
eyes for a moment; then she looked up
quite steadily, and said:
