Between the fertile shores of Ayr

tyre, lies the beautiful isle of Arran-
a land of indescribable grandeur and
loveliness, linked by many a romantic
tie to the world, and the church uni
versal. Here, the mighty Fingal kim
died his signal fires when the fleet of
Africola darkened the waters of the
Clyde. Here, Ossian, ''the king of
many songs" came to wait for that
dark and narrow house, whose mark

great, silent fighting Norsemen, who
hated lies, and whose religion it was
to be brave. Here, Robert Bruce lit
the beacon, that was the dawn of Ban
nockburn. Here the Stuarts hunted
the red deer, and Cromwell hunted the
adherents of the Stuarts.
1t was also in this rugged land that
religion, pure and undefiled, took the
deepest root; for what Knox planted
there, the Covenanters watered; and
the Free Kirk perfected. No peasantry

walking erect, in the ever conscious
dignity of being sons of God.
Such man was Robert Brodick, far
mer and fisher, whose cottage was in
q cleft of the hills between Catacol
and Inachar. Five hundred years this
cottage had stood in its naked, gran
ite strength. 1t had often been re-
thatched; but its original, unmortared
stones, We're as perfect as when Gil
liam Brodick first laid them, on the few
acres of land given him by Robert
Bruce for some personal service. And
through that five hundred years Rob-
ert Brodick could trace his ancestry,
man by man. fighters for truth and
liberty, and followers after righteous
ness. He was fifty-five years old, with
the massive stature of his forebears: a
simple dignified manner and a dispo-
sition serious, shrewd and straight"
forward.
He was sitting in the door of his cot
tage one sumo evening, watching
the boats drift alo7 r. cut to the fish
ing ground and listening vaguely to his
daughter Helen, who was singing soft
ly to herself as she moved about the
spotless interior, putting things to
rights after the evening meaI. Now
Helen Brodick was a beautiful Wo-
man, tall and shapely, with a finely
formed face; eyes, grey, tender and
eloquent: a brilliant complexion, Wavy
masses of fair hair, rolled into a loose
coil, and possessing in a remarkable
degree the fine Roman calm of a def
mite ancestry.
And she lived the very life of the
sea. Her blood had tides in it, and
was subject to ebb and flow. Away
from the sea, she would have pined
like a stormy petrol in cage. Yet it
was just this possibility which occu-
pied her fathers thoughts, as he sat
gazing at the outstretched waters His
staff was between his knees, and his
hands folded on it; and as he came
suddenly to some decision, he lifted il
slightly, and then let it fall with all
the emphasis of stamping foot.
"Helen!" he called, in d tone of au-
thority.
II am near done wi the tea things,
father" she answered. 'Ill be with
you, anon" and in a minute or two
she stood beside him, in all her home
ly sweetness-the odor and breath of
the ocean around her.
Are you wanting me in particular,
father" she asked.
'I am. l was meeting the minister
to-day, and he was talking about you.
He is loving you, Helen, loving you
parfectly, and unspeakably."
"Well, then, 1 am not caring for him

impossible for her to marry him.
But for three months Roy kept his
position intact. Helen believed in him
with all her soul, and loved him with
all the intense affection Of a self-re-
strained, truthful woman. No one
could doubt her affection; it had the
charm of absolute sincerity and of
truthfulness without a flaw. But such
an atmosphere was naturally too tire
some an endeavor, for a man mingled
of exactly diverse elements. and grad
ually Helen was aware of some change,
too slight for analysis, too elusive to
complain of. But
"Ah. the little more. and how much
it is!
And the little less, and what worlds
away!"
1t was just "the little less" and 1t
made Helens heart quake as she
looked into the future. For If man
is not noble and unselflsh when he Is
in love- he never will be so, either in
this world or the next, and Helen
could not disguise, could not complain
away many a little incident which no
noble or unselfish man would have
been connected with. These events
each made a distinct impression on
her, but she told herself that no one
was perfect, and that Roy had been
motherless all his life, and had never
