A Romance...By Hannah B. Mckenzie.

CHATTER NII.

Two months later, on stormy day
IN late October, Nagnus Halcrow and
i!lspeth Troll are standing together
within sight OF the Rowan Crag. 1t
- probably the last time they shall do
-. for Elspeth leaves Orkney with
,-ady We5tray tomorrow. The West
ray children have been proved the
heirs OF her late husbands property,
and Crag Castle will be shut up and
uninhabited during their minority.
The horror OF that terrible day
comes back again 10 Elspeth, and she
shudders involuntarily. Then Magnns
says slowly:
"You shiyer. Miss Troll. Forgive me
for alluding to that terrible time. but
] mnst do 50 just this once, have no
wish 10 speak against the dead. out l
wish to diEabuse your mind OF the idea
that loved Lllith Stuart She las
cinated, enthralled me. as she had done

and self-engrossed soul-ny hearI
turned from her with repulsion
Hush" says Elspeth gently. ne
member she Is dead We must dea'
kindly with her now. She is In GodS
hands"
Magnus took the womanly little haha
and held 1t for a minute. He does not
tell her-he does not think she knows
what he himself il sure of--that LII
ith Stuart had met her death In trying
IN compass that OF another.
Tell me the truth. Elspeth." he says
suddenly. He has not called her Els
pcth for years. and the girls face be-
comes 81 idenly Hooded with crimson.
DO you mink loved here
II thought" answered Elspeth
slowly. tracing lines with an umbrella
on the damp path, that YOU were very
near doing so. DR.. Fialcrow."
And IL | should tell you now, said
DR.. Halcrow. very calmly, though some
strange emotion throhs beneath the
outward calm, that / have learned
lately what | have never realized be-
fore-that 1t Is some one else who had
the innermost place In my heart during
that foolish enthralment-wha would
YOU say. Elspeth? And II asked you

The hand in his gives one quick,
sharp quiver He can feel It's pulse
bounding wildly.
why do you ask these questions,
DIR. Halcrow? Is 1t out OF PITY"
Pity" he repeats. Nay, Elspeth:
pity would never make me ask woman
to be my wife. 1t Is because | love you.
dear, with all my heart. How could
help it-I, who have known you so
well so closely. so intimately these
last months-who have seen your quiet
brave heroism. your womanly gentle
ness. your self-sacrifice. your sweet
charity and forgiveness? 1t was you
who showed me what love really
means. You will come. you will love
me. dear. will you not?'
He holds out his arms. and with
ont word Elspeth goes into them.
She has obtained the happiness she
had never dared dream would be hers.
And SO that spot. which had become the
scene of the darkest tragedy in the
lives OF both, becomes also to both the
dearest spot on earth.

Numerous instances are given OF the

One resolute juryman said to another,

Why. sir. he Is the great corrupter of

When the verdict was given fo-
Choate's client. with hardly discus
sion in the jury-room, the wonder was
expressed that this obstinate member
OF the conclave agreed so readily with
the rest.
"Oh.- he said, "the case was plain
one. Choate was right this time: and
you know it would have been scandal
Gus for me to violate justice because

the green fruits often cannot, and are

as one Of the most efficient ways Of
encouraging production and bringing
profit to the producer.
